Jiang Guang didn't know much about this northern sect, so he asked An Pingdan: "Miss Anping, I don't know anything about the Qinglu Sword Sect, I don't know if I can give me some advice. ”

An Pingdan didn't shirk and said: "I just heard from the master that this Qinglu Sword Sect was an extremely powerful sect ten thousand years ago, and the cultivators of this sect were all sword cultivators, and it was also the first sect composed purely of sword cultivators. ”

Ma Xie listened carefully, he was very curious about the Qinglu Sword Sect, after all, he was also a sword cultivator, and now there was no sword cultivation among the top ten sects, he had always felt very regretful.

Although the Zhou family of the Sword Sect is also a holy place for sword cultivation, this is only a powerful family, and people who are not from the Zhou family cannot learn the core swordsmanship of the Zhou family at all, and can only become vassals of the Zhou family.

"I don't know which of this Qinglu Sword Sect is stronger or weaker than the Zhou family of the Sword Sect. Ma Xie said.

An Pingdan said: "When the Qinglu Sword Sect was strong, it was possible to compete with the Zhou family, but the Zhou family had been inherited for too long, and even the Qinglu Sword Sect was unwilling to shake their position in the heart of the sword cultivator. It's just that if you talk about the overall strength, in fact, the Blue Furnace Sword Sect is stronger than the Zhou family at some times. ”

"It's so powerful, it's even stronger than the Zhou family, isn't it comparable to the current top ten sects. Ding Lingling said.

"If it is only in terms of the number of cultivators and the land controlled, the Blue Furnace Sword Sect is also the best among the top ten sects, even if it competes with the top combat power, I am afraid that only the four sects in front can stabilize the Blue Furnace Sword Sect. An Pingdan said.

A few people listened so intently that they forgot about moving on.

An Pingdan has an extremely good understanding of the history of the mainland, like an encyclopedia, she said: "Of course, the strength of the sect does not actually depend on the number of cultivators, the top combat power, the way the sect operates, the cultivation of future talents, and the direction of the development of the sect are all the key to measurement, the Qinglu Sword Sect is too strong, and it likes to expand, in the extreme expansion, most of the outstanding disciples of the sect died on the battlefield, and finally flourished and declined, and finally split." The Xuanyang Gate of the Jin Kingdom is a branch of the Qinglu Sword Sect. ”

Everyone nodded, it turned out that this Blue Furnace Sword Sect was so powerful, just a branch, and it had become the strongest sect in the Jin Kingdom, one of the five great powers.

"Daoist Anping, you said that the reason for the decline of the Blue Furnace Sword Sect is because it killed and injured too many young disciples in the process of expansion, so it declined?" Ma Xie asked.

An Pingdan nodded: "Yes, since the rise of the Blue Furnace Sword Sect, it has been jealous of expansion, and has been waging sect wars, robbing the population and resources, and their disciples will be sent to the battlefield after entering the Dragon and Tiger Pass, tempered in actual combat, although this cruel way has trained many strong people, but also died a lot of geniuses." ”

This is a hidden history, no one knows why the Blue Furnace Sword Sect launched a war so frantically, and finally ten thousand years ago, the scale of their Sword Sect reached the extreme, once unified the north, and even drove the Dao Sect out of their own territory.

Although sword cultivation is very popular on the mainland, no sword cultivation sect can be as powerful as the Qinglu Sword Sect.

Jiang Guang and Ma Xie were very curious about this problem, and An Pingdan also gave an explanation.

"It's because the Blue Furnace Sword Sect is too powerful, so after the decline of the Blue Furnace Sword Sect, the other sects seem to have acquiesced to a rule, that is, to restrict the development of the sect composed purely of sword cultivation. An Pingdan said.

"Restrict the development of a sect composed purely of sword cultivators?" Ma Xie asked.

An Pingdan said slowly: "Yes." Sword cultivation is the best at killing cultivators, so a sect composed purely of sword cultivation must be a sect composed of a group of cultivators who like to fight. Such a sect likes to fight, likes to conquer, and like a sword, it needs to be indomitable, and it needs to be constantly fighting to become strong. ”

It is because of this concept that after the collapse of the Blue Furnace Sword Sect, the leaders of the cultivation world, led by several major sects such as the Dao Sect and the Haotian Sect, have been intentionally or unintentionally restricting the development of various Sword Sects.

From the top twenty sects, there is no pure sword sect that can find the clues.

And the most paradoxical thing is that these great sects are all working hard to cultivate sword cultivation, after all, sword cultivation is unparalleled in attack, and it can play a great role in foreign lands.

"I think the Sword Sect in Jingzhou is very prosperous, for example, only the Sword Sect can participate in the Jiazi Sword Meeting. Ma Xie said.

Ding Lingling said: "You actually knew about the Jiazi Sword Society, I really didn't expect it." ”

An Pingdan said: "Jingzhou is an exception, there are many sword sects here since ancient times, and even in a certain era, all the sects in Jingzhou are sword sects. But now......"

In today's era, although the sects in Jingzhou are also the majority of the Sword Sect, they are not as good as in the heyday, many comprehensive sects are rising, and there are not many pure Sword Sects.

Moreover, Jingzhou, as one of the six states directly controlled by the Dao Sect, no matter how their Sword Sect developed here, it would not pose any threat to the Dao Sect.

On the contrary, under the rule of the Dao Sect, these Sword Sects have really enhanced the overall strength of the Dao Sect, after all, these sects and the Dao Sect are inextricably linked, just like a vassal country, they are essentially part of the Dao Sect.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I know so much about the Blue Furnace Sword Sect, should we move on?" An Pingdan said.

Everyone felt that they had been here for a long time, so they came to those gates.

Ma Xie counted, there were a total of seven gates, each with some ancient characters written on it, according to Jiang Guang said that these were some place names, and he didn't know where they were.

"I guess there are a few places in this secret realm not far from here, which should be used as the storehouse of the Five Elements Holy Sect. An Pingdan said.

"Then which one shall we go in, should we go together or ......" Ding Lingling asked, looking at Jiang Guang with some expectation.

Ma Xie and Jiang Guang stood in front of the middle gate at the same time, and said in unison, "I'm going here." ”

It's not that they discussed it in advance, it's just that the two of them, as excellent swordsmen, both felt a trace of strong sword intent in that cave!

Ding Lingling walked to the door, and sure enough, she also felt a unique aura.

"It's terrifying, I feel a powerful sword intent, what's there, is it a swordsman in there?" Ding Lingling said.

"What the hell is it, you'll find out when you go inside. Jiang Guang said.

"As a swordsman, you should use the sword to solve the problem, and you can only use the sword to solve the problem. Ma Xie also stared ahead.

"I'll go too!" Ding Lingling followed.

"It's just the two of us, where are you going?" Xie Wen'an asked.

"I've got to go to the other side, I think there's what I'm looking for. An Pingdan said to Xie Shuwen.

It was the most marginal door, and in addition to the ancient words, there was a sentence about a corpse that had long since turned into bones.

"Dan, where are you really going? I always feel weird there, and there is a skeleton. Ding Lingling said.

"What is so terrible about skeletons, they are already dead. An Pingdan said calmly.

Xie Shuwen walked around several doors, and finally decided to go to the one on the other side.

He found some dung here, and as a dragon master, he could easily find out that it was the dung of a strange beast.

The five of them chose their own paths and all entered the world behind the door.

As soon as Ma Xie stepped into the door, the road here went up, and Ma Xie and Jiang Guang came to a teleportation array.

"Sure enough, this is where they store their weapons. Jiang Guang looked at the ancient characters on a stone tablet and said.

The teleportation array has been closed, and it needs to be activated with spirit stones, and the three of them each took out some spirit stones, found the formation eye of the formation, and put the spirit stones into it.

While placing the spirit stone, Ma Xie found a strange stone.

The stone was snow-white, with a tiny crack on it, and the fragrance emanated from it.

"This is ......" Ma Xie picked up the stone and looked at it carefully, this stone seemed to be a little similar to the mountain light he was looking for.

Ma Xie carefully followed the explanation of the old man Bailu and compared it with this stone, and finally determined that this was the "light of the mountain" he was looking for, but the volume was slightly smaller, and there were traces of artificial polishing.

"You've been found so soon. Ding Lingling came over and said: "According to what the old man Bailu said, we haven't actually entered the real mining area yet, and the mining area here should be in the depths of the Takiku Cave, that is, where the warehouses are located." ”

"Maybe they left it behind when they were transporting it. Ma Xie said as he put the light of the mountain into the spatial ring, and then activated the formation.

A trace of dark light emanated from the formation, and Ma Xie felt that the sword intent was even more obvious, and sure enough, at the end of this dry cave, something was calling him.

"That Zhou Taiping must have also entered here. Jiang Guang said to Ma Xie: "I'm sure." ”

"Why?"

"Because he, like you and me, is a person born for swords, and when he feels such a sword intent, how can he not go to find out?" Jiang Guang said confidently: "Jingzhou is really a good place, I can meet a swordsman like you." ”

"It seems that a fight between you and me is inevitable. Ma Xie said.

Jiang Guang smiled and didn't respond, just clenched the sword in his hand and entered the formation.

Ma Xie and Ding Lingling also entered the formation, and after a flicker, they came to a small world.

"Whoosh!"

As soon as Ma Xie stood firm, a sword qi passed by his ear, and he quickly dodged and picked up the Overlord Flowing Fire to prepare to fight back.

At this time, he found that standing in front of him was a skeleton in black armor holding an almost rusty long sword!

"What the hell is this?" Ma Xie and Yuan Wuji shouted at the same time, which made Jiang Guang and Ding Lingling both discover Yuan Wuji's existence.

"I said this is my pet, do you believe it?" said Ma Xie.

"What is this? Cats can talk?" Ding Lingling said.

Jiang Guangdao: "I just said that I have always had a strange feeling, as if something has been staring at me, this is not a cat, it is a strange beast." ”

"Yes, my pet. Ma Xie said: "Xiao Ji." ”
