When Ning Fan finally saw Wujian Mountain, to be honest, he was somewhat disappointed.
According to conventional thinking, this place is considered a holy place for all sword masters in the upper city, and with the presence of powerful men like the old Sword God, it cannot be said to be spectacular, but at least it should be somewhat impressive.
However, Xiang Shan told Ning Fan that the mountain in front of him, although high, looked somewhat desolate...
It is Wujian Mountain.
Even at the foot of the mountain, there is no sign or logo.
It is undeniable that if Xiang Shan had not shown the way, even if Ning Fan had found this place, he would have first suspected that he had found the wrong place.
People in the upper city value respectability and enjoyment, but this place seems a little out of tune with the previous stereotype.
A mountain path was right in front of Ning Fan.
It is called a mountain path, but in fact it is just made by people walking.
There are no decent stone steps on it, and there are weeds on both sides. It looks like they have not been trimmed for many years and have been left to grow wildly.
Ning Fan stood in front of the mountain path and looked up.
The mountains blocked the sunlight.
This mountain path actually leads to the shaded direction.
"Wujian Mountain emphasizes a single-minded devotion to the sword. Everyone on the mountain's sole pursuit is to reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship."
Xiang Shan seemed to understand Ning Fan's confusion and took the initiative to explain, "There's only one way up the mountain. This actually implies... that this road is difficult to walk on."
Ning Fan understood what Xiang Shan meant.
He also believed that most of the people on Wujian Mountain were "indifferent to fame and fortune."
The old sword god would seek him out for a competition in order to pursue perfection.
The reason why Zhuo Jiunian helped Diancheng to snipe the team from Xiacheng was to improve his swordsmanship.
Therefore, no matter what method they choose, the ultimate goal can be considered pure.
It’s hard to imagine that there are such pure people in the upper city.
"It seems that the old Sword God wants to meet me on the top of Wujian Mountain."
Ning Fan said softly, then walked up the mountain path.
Xiang Shan followed with a complicated look in his eyes.
I have to say, this road is indeed difficult to walk on.
There are several sections of the road that cannot even be described as dangerous. You almost have to "walk" on the cliffs to pass through.
Interestingly, Ning Fan also saw many people practicing sword skills in a relatively wide field.
Xiang Shan explained to him that these people could not pass the next road, so they could only choose the place where they could reach their limit to hone their sword skills.
In other words, people who can practice on the top of the mountain are absolutely rare.
Sure enough, after a period of time, the number of people Ning Fan could see became fewer and fewer.
From this point, it can be seen that I am getting closer and closer to the top of the mountain.
When Ning Fan passed the cliff again and turned to an open area, a long staircase appeared before his eyes.
This staircase is very long, but it is still a little inferior to the long staircase leading to the [Prison Gate] in the lower city.
And right in front of this long ladder, stood a young boy.
The boy was probably in his early teens, but he was wearing a rather old-fashioned long gown, which looked a bit out of place.
He carried a very ordinary long sword on his back, but because of his height, the sword looked particularly conspicuous on the boy's body.
Ning Fan was indeed stunned for a moment.
Based on previous experience, it is really difficult for ordinary people to get here.
What's more, he is still a child.
At the same time, he could also feel that the child's eyes were full of undisguised hostility when he looked at him.
"Sword boy, get out of the way."
When Xiang Shan saw the child, he frowned slightly and even said in a somewhat scolding tone, "Don't be so stubborn."
The child called Sword Boy had no intention of obeying, but continued to stare at Ning Fan.
"Are you Ning Fan?"
The sword boy's voice even had a childish tone.
But he himself did not realize it, instead he imitated the adults' tone: "Wujian Mountain does not welcome you!"
Ning Fan looked at the child quietly.
To be honest, even though this kid was rude and clearly treated him as an enemy, Ning Fan couldn't get angry at all.
Ning Fan really wouldn't get angry with a child.
What's more, judging from the other person's age, he seems to be only a few years older than Ning Ze.
After becoming a father, Ning Fan will be much more tolerant towards his children than before.
"Is this the grandson of the old Sword God?"
Ning Fan ignored the sword boy and turned his head to look at Xiang Shan.
Judging from his age, this child definitely cannot be the old Sword God's son.
He didn't believe that the old Sword God, at such an old age, could still find time to have a child while studying swordsmanship.
Xiang Shan was stunned.
Before he could speak, a look of anger flashed across the sword boy's face.
At the same time, he did not hesitate to draw out the long sword behind him, which was almost longer than his height.
The sword pointed directly at Ning Fan.
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kill you."
"child……"
Ning Fan finally looked at him with a relatively gentle smile on his face: "Children's words are innocent. Sometimes they can be treated as jokes, but sometimes they can cause trouble for parents."
"I'm not a child anymore!"
The sword boy seemed to be stimulated by Ning Fan's words. He took a step forward and pretended to show Ning Fan his strength.
Ning Fan just stood there quietly. Even though the sword was getting closer and closer to him, he had no intention of moving.
clang!
Just as the sword was about to touch Ning Fan, there was a sound of collision, and the sword boy's body flew out at an angle and fell heavily to the ground.
Ning Fan indeed did not make a move.
The sword boy's sword was bounced out by Xiang Shan!
"Stop it!"
Xiang Shan stood in front of Ning Fan and shouted at the sword boy, "Now is not the time for you to act like a child!"
Although Jian Tong fell to the ground, he did not show any pain. Instead, he yelled at Xiang Shan: "Xiang Shan! You clearly know what he is here for. Are you going to help outsiders deal with the master?"
Xiang Shan was shaking with anger.
This is not just because of the sword boy's naivety, but also because...
It would be nice if I could be as naive as a child.
Jian Tong had already climbed up at this time. Seeing that Xiang Shan was silent, he thought that the other party felt guilty.
But just when he was about to vent his anger at Ning Fan, Xiang Shan flashed in front of him.
Xiang Shan just raised his hand and waved it, and the sword held by the sword boy flew out directly.
The sword boy staggered two steps and his face turned red when he found that he had lost his sword.
However, Ning Fan, who was standing on the other side, didn't feel anything about the child's attitude. Instead, there was one thing that made him feel a little strange.
This kid isn't very strong.
At the very least, it is definitely impossible to get here through your own strength.
However, his sword moves seemed somewhat familiar to Ning Fan!
