Chapter 42: In the Jade Sword Gate

Hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Sifang City, a towering mountain. Halfway up the mountain, it suddenly became so steep that ordinary people were not allowed to enter it. Halfway up the waist, clouds and mist shrouded it, and the occasional sound of birds came out. Here, it is where the sect of the Jade Sword Gate is located, the Jade Sword Mountain.

At this time, on a peak of Yujian Mountain, in a quiet place, in an extremely wide hall, a middle-aged man was sitting in the middle of the hall, like a statue, motionless. This person is the contemporary head of the Jade Sword Gate, Yu Zhenzi. This extremely wide and empty hall is the place where Yu Zhenzi cultivates.

At this moment, in this hall, in addition to Yu Zhenzi, there are thousands of flying swords, surrounding Yu Zhenzi, flying slowly around Yu Zhenzi, who is sitting still.

After a long time, the statue-like Yu Zhenzi opened his eyes and let out a long sigh, and the thousands of flying swords immediately stopped flying and condensed in the air, forming several extremely regular circles.

Yu Zhenzi pinched a magic trick with both hands, and was about to settle down again, when somewhere in the Jade Sword Mountain, an earth-shattering noise suddenly sounded. Immediately, an extremely strong and tyrannical aura swept through the various peaks of the Jade Sword Sect.

Yu Zhenzi's face changed, and the person had appeared in mid-air, and thousands of flying swords followed him, galloping towards the place where the loud noise came from. At the same time, Yu Zhenzi's voice resounded throughout the Jade Sword Gate: "The great enemy is coming! All the elders of the Jade Sword Gate, follow me to defend against the enemy!"

When Yu Zhenzi's voice sounded, among the several peaks in the Jade Sword Mountain, several sword lights had already flown up, and they all flew towards the place where the loud noise was. Among these sword lights, there was also a galloping flying firelight, and in an instant, the thousand flying swords that had already crossed Yu Zhenzi were on a par with Yu Zhenzi.

After catching up with Yu Zhenzi, in the firelight, an old man with a gloomy appearance was about to speak to Yu Zhenzi, when two loud noises came from the place where the first loud noise came from. Immediately, a bloody light flashed in the air and flew towards the sky. In the blood light, there was a terrible laugh: "Old thief, you can retreat for another thousand years!"

Seeing that the blood light was about to disappear from the sky, a brilliant sword light burst out of the sky from the place where the loud noise was, as if it wanted to pierce the entire sky, and went straight to the blood light. In the blood light, a tragic roar immediately sounded: "Ying Lao Dog ......!" Immediately, the blood light and roar all disappeared.

When Yu Zhenzi and the old man saw this scene, their faces changed at the same time, and they didn't care about speaking, they each sped up and galloped towards the place where there was a loud noise. Several other sword lights also sped up, speeding up with the sword light of Yu Zhenzi and the fire light that enveloped the old man.

Just as Yu Zhenzi and the old man were about to fly close to the place where the loud noise was, the brilliant sword light slowly dissipated. Immediately, a figure appeared in the sky. The figure was surrounded by a dazzling light like a sword.

The figure first glanced at the place where the blood light had disappeared, and then turned his head and looked in the direction where Yu Zhenzi and the others were galloping. Yu Zhenzi and several sword lights behind him saw the figure coming, and at the same time stopped the retreat, bowed to the ground in the air, and shouted: "Welcome the ancestor out of the pass!"

The old man in the flames also stopped retreating, stood in the air, clasped his fists and saluted: "Ying Ancestor's great achievements, congratulations!"

As soon as the light around the figure closed, in the light, a majestic old man appeared, with heavy eyebrows and a righteous face.

The old man first said lightly to the old man in the firelight: "The envoy has won the prize." Then, the old man said to Yu Zhenzi and the others who were prostrating on the ground: "Xiaoxiao has been repulsed. The boss, please come with the old man. Everyone else should step aside. ”

With that, a sword light shot out from the old man's body, rolling up Yu Zhenzi in the air. Immediately, the old man and Yu Zhenzi all disappeared.

The rest of the people who were prostrate on the ground shouted again: "Congratulations to the Ancestor!" Immediately after, several sword lights slowly retreated towards their respective paths.

After all the people and sword light in the air had fled, the old man in the flames stood in place, his face slightly changing color. After a few breaths, the firelight wrapped around the old man and disappeared from the sky.

After the old man wrapped Yu Zhenzi with his sword light and fell into a valley in the Jade Sword Mountain that did not exist at all for the outside world, as soon as the old man's sword light was collected, Yu Zhenzi immediately bowed to the ground again, and said in his mouth: "Disciple Sun Yu Zhenzi, knock on the ancestor!"

The old man put his hands behind his back and said lightly: "Please get up, master." ”

Yu Zhenzi stood up, bowed down, and asked cautiously, "Ancestor, was it the remnants of the Blood Demon Sect just now?"

The old man let out a "hmm" in his nose and said, "The remnants of the Blood Demon Sect were first hit by the old man's three blows, and then hit the old man's ten thousand swords in one, even if he escaped, he would soon be destroyed. From now on, the head of the sect no longer has to worry about the remnants of the Blood Demon Sect. ”

When Yu Zhenzi heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "Congratulations to the ancestor for his great achievements, practicing the unity of ten thousand swords, and eradicating the strong enemy!"

An inexplicable look flashed across the old man's face, and he said, "The Blood Demon Sect is not a strong enemy. After that, the old man asked Yu Zhenzi: "Master, in the hundreds of years that the old man has been in retreat, what major events have happened in my Jade Sword Gate?"

Yu Zhenzi bowed down and replied: "Back to the ancestor, in the past hundreds of years, the disciples and all the elders and disciples in the sect have strictly followed the decree of the ancestors, restrained their edge, and devoted themselves to cultivation. Nothing major happened in the door. ”

The old man nodded slightly, and then asked, "What about the four cities under my Jade Sword Gate?"

Yu Zhenzi replied: "Back to the ancestors, the four cities of Yiyuan, Twin Towers, Santan and Sifang, there have been no major events in the past few hundred years. The four cities are paying their goods to the sect on time every year. ”

The old man said again: "Is there any change in the Sifang City?"

Yu Zhenzi cautiously glanced at the old man, and said cautiously: "Back to the ancestor, there is no change in the Sifang City. Just ......"

The old man asked lightly, "It's just what, but it's related to the Long family?"

Yu Zhenzi replied more and more carefully: "Back to the Ancestor, there has not been a single person in the Long family who has been able to pass the test of the Foundation Examination Conference for more than three hundred years. Some of the elders in the sect have repeatedly proposed that the eastern city in the Sifang City should be handed over to a family with immortal cultivators in the family. Because the ancestor had a strict order back then, Dongcheng could not change hands at will, so the disciple grandson kept suppressing these voices. ”

The old man asked in the same tone, "What about the Sifang City?"

Yu Zhenzi glanced at the old man again and said, "Back to the ancestor, in the Sifang City, the Huang family and the Cheng family once tactfully proposed to the Shantai family to start the battle for the city lord again. However, they were all pressed down by the Tantai family. ”

The old man showed an interested expression on his face and asked, "The requests of the Huang family and the Cheng family have also been transmitted to the Jade Sword Gate, right?"

When Yu Zhenzi heard this, he hurriedly bowed to the ground again and said, "There are many elders in the door, secretly communicating with the Huang family and the Cheng family, exchanging news. The disciples have no way to do it, please punish the ancestors!"

The old man smiled slightly and said, "Master, please get up." ”

Seeing that Yu Zhenzi was still kneeling on the ground, not daring to get up, the old man sighed: "My Jade Sword Sect is worshiped by the four cities, and the elders and other disciples in the sect have many people from various cities. It is human nature to have some dealings with each other. The boss doesn't have to blame himself. Get up. ”

When Yu Zhenzi stood up, the old man asked: "So, the matter of the Long family sitting in Dongcheng, whether it is my Jade Sword Sect people or the people in the Sifang City, they all have a lot of complaints?"

Yu Zhenzi bowed down and replied: "Back to the ancestor, according to the opinion of the disciples, this is indeed the case. ”

The old man pondered for a moment and said, "My Jade Sword Sect is a decent family and acts above board. Since both my Jade Sword Sect and the people of Sifang City have this intention, then the head of the sect will comply with the will of the people and allow him to invite him. ”

Yu Zhenzi asked cautiously, "Ancestor, if it is only in the East City......

The old man said: "Since it is a battle for the city lord, then let all the cities of the Sifang City participate. ”

Yu Zhenzi was slightly startled in his heart, and asked cautiously: "What does the ancestor mean is that the four acropolis and the Fu City of the Sifang City are all involved in the battle for the city lord?"

The old man smiled and said, "Since it is a battle for the city lord, of course you can't just fight for the position of the lord of the East City. Otherwise, it would be unfair. However, the battle for the city lord of the city can be slowed down for a while. After the battle for the city lords of the four acropolis of the four acropolis of the four cities is over, let the other three cities also participate, and start the battle for the city lords of the four prefecture cities at the same time. The battle battlefield of the city lord of the city is also set in the Sifang City. ”

Yu Zhenzi hurriedly answered "yes", then bowed down and asked, "Ancestor, when is the battle for the city lord set this time?"

The old man did not answer Yu Zhenzi's question, but asked, "How many years will the next foundation inspection conference be?"

Yu Zhenzi bowed down and replied: "Back to the ancestor, in five years, it will be the next foundation inspection conference." ”

The old man nodded lightly and said, "The battle for the city lord will be set after the foundation inspection conference." ”

After a slight pause, the old man said: "As for the rules, since the elders in the gate all feel that the position of the city lord should be in the hands of the family that has immortal cultivators in the family, this time all the city lord battles will be divided into two battles: the battle of the worldly world and the battle of the immortal gate." In the battle of the Immortal Gate, only the Qi Refining Stage disciples of each family in my Jade Sword Sect were allowed to participate. If the two battles are tied, the Qi refining stage disciples of the participating families will fight another battle. There should not be too many soldiers and horses in the world. The battle for the Acropolis Lord was limited to 10,000 soldiers and horses. The battle for the lord of the city was limited to 100,000 soldiers and horses. ”

Yu Zhenzi asked cautiously: "Ancestor, if the battle for the battle for the city lord of the Fucheng City is also divided into the battle of the worldly and the battle of the Immortal Gate, the four cities are extremely far apart. Even if the news is released immediately, the disciple Sun is worried that the worldly soldiers and horses of the other three cities will not have time to rush outside the Sifang City within five years. ”

The old man smiled and said, "Let the other three cities not have to worry about this." Just let them prepare for the battle with peace of mind. Before the battle, I had my own Jade Sword Gate to help transfer soldiers and horses to various cities at one time. ”

Yu Zhenzi hesitated and said: "Ancestor, there is no magic weapon in the door that can transport 100,000 soldiers and horses......

The old man smiled again: "My Jade Sword Sect is a subordinate sect of the Imperial Fire Sect. This battle for the city lord is also to be able to arouse the upward heart of each city, so that together with my Jade Sword Sect, we can better serve the Fire Sect. The head of the gate can inform the envoy in the gate of the battle for the city lord, and ask him to report to the Fire Sect on his behalf. I believe that the Imperial Fire Sect will help solve the problem of magic weapons. ”

Yu Zhenzi hurriedly answered "yes" again, then bowed down again and asked, "Ancestor, if you let the disciples in the sect also participate in the competition, then the Sifang City Dragon Family ......"

The old man asked, "How many disciples of the Long family are there in the sect?"

Yu Zhenzi replied: "Back to the ancestor, there are three more, all in the trap hole. ”

The old man sighed lightly and said, "Over the years, it has been difficult to be a disciple of the Long family. Let them go back to the Long family, reunite with their families, cultivate well, and prepare to participate in the battle for the city lord in five years. Their cultivation usage was directly allocated from the offerings of the Long family, so that the Long family could pay less. ”

After that, the old man then asked, "What is the situation in the Trial Cave now, how long will it take for that Trap Behemoth to be killed?"

Yu Zhenzi's heart sank, and he bowed down and said: "Back to the ancestor, the giant beast in the trial cave is now at the end of the crossbow. But ......"

Seeing the old man's brows frowning slightly, Yu Zhenzi hurriedly continued: "However, that mechanism beast is becoming more and more crazy now, and more and more disciples are killed by it every year. ”

The old man sighed again and said, "If it weren't for the fact that this beast escaped and made trouble for the sake of the world, the old man couldn't bear to watch the disciples in the sect go forward and follow one another and go to righteousness generously. My Jade Sword Sect is a decent family, and it is within my duty to kill demon beasts. Send more disciples. Be sure to kill this beast before the next foundation test. ”

With that, another sword light shot out from the old man's body, enveloping Yu Zhenzi. Immediately, the sword light flashed, and Yu Zhenzi disappeared from the valley.

After Yu Zhenzi disappeared, a small tower with a strange shape appeared in front of the old man. The old man stared at the small tower silently, and a strange smile gradually appeared on his face.
