After more than a hundred thousand years, a new generation of Taiyin Sword Master finally emerged in Shushan!
Such important news quickly spread throughout the Shenzhou continent along with the news that the Shushan Shangqing Sect was going to hold a ceremony to worship its ancestors.
If anyone has an impression, they would remember that the last similar big news was that True Man Chang Geng had formed a first-grade golden elixir, and Kunlun Taiqing Sect also held a grand ceremony to worship their ancestors.
The reason for offering sacrifices to the ancestors is actually to find an excuse to invite you to come and watch the ceremony. As long as you come, the other party will start to show off to you how powerful the Taiyin Sword Master is... Of course, in reality, it is true.
People who don’t know would marvel at how prosperous the orthodox religion is. First there was Kunlun’s first-grade golden elixir, then there was the master of Mount Shu’s Taiyin sword, and these powerful cultivators appear in endlessly.
Those who know about it will inevitably laugh at Shushan's bizarre practice of celebrating funerals as if they were happy.
Although Shushan tried very hard to keep this secret, the fact that True Man Jiangxiao was publicly executed before was no secret.
If Master Qing Heng had not come back to rescue, then Shushan could certainly explain that they deliberately staged an "execution" drama in order to find the traitor.
But not only did Qing Heng return, he also transformed himself into the Tai Yin Sword Master. In order to rescue his sister, he chopped the Patriarch's Hall into firewood and cut Mount Emei into four pieces. As a result, Shushan was completely in a difficult situation.
The Patriarch Hall can be rebuilt, but Mount Emei cannot be restored. If you insist on saying that you split Mount Emei "for a show", then you are really bullying the IQ of the majority of monks.
Shushan certainly had no good solution to this problem and could only ask the new Seven Kills Sect leader, Su Jian.
Because Su Jian has more experience, her emotional intelligence is slightly higher than An Zhisu's, but after all, they are father and daughter by blood, so her emotional intelligence is not that much higher.
Faced with this trivial propaganda issue, the headmaster waved his hand proudly and gave three short words:
It depends.
These three seemingly short words integrate the highest essence of management in our traditional culture. Everyone in Shushan explained them to their close friends who had sent messages to ask for information according to their own understanding.
"The Ancestral Hall is gone? It's just because Taiyin Sword Master thought it was too small, so he demolished it and planned to build a new one. Don't be surprised. It will be rebuilt on the day of the ancestral worship ceremony, and it will be more magnificent than the original one."
"Emei Mountain was divided into four parts, which was also intentional by Taiyin Sword Master. Although the original Emei Mountain was magnificent, it was not steep enough, which did not match the temperament of our sword immortals. Therefore, Taiyin Sword Master used his great magical power to divide it into four parts, which were named Da'emun, Er'emun, San'emun and Si'emun. The four E'emun are like four swords, protecting our Shu Mountain from falling."
"What about the Taiyin Sword Master fighting the Shushan elders? Is there anyone who believes this cheap rumor? Even if it's the Taiyin Suming Sword, which is a treasure of heaven and earth that even immortals dare not seize, how dare the Yuanying elder challenge the Sword Master without authorization? Don't just believe everything you hear, use your brains to think about it."
"The reason why the sky and earth changed color that day was that the elders wanted to see the power of the Taiyin Suming Sword, so the Taiyin Sword Master used a little magic. Don't disbelieve it! If the Taiyin Sword Master really wanted to attack the Shushan elders, how many of them would survive? Go and see, the elders are all fine!"
"The new Qi Sha Sect Leader of Shushan is the master of Taiyin Sword Master. The daughter of Qi Sha Sect Leader, Zhenren Jiangxiao, is the lover of Taiyin Sword Master. Those who spread rumors that Taiyin Sword Master is dissatisfied with Shushan are really treating us as fools!"
Many versions of the whitewashing statements were flying around, some people believed them and some didn’t. Generally speaking, those who were friendly to Orthodoxy believed them, those who were negative didn’t believe them, and as for the neutral bystanders… they didn’t care what the truth was, so it didn’t matter.
Su Jian generally ignored the news. After all, he was a straightforward person who believed in strength above all else. He thought that as long as the Shushan Shangqing Sect remained standing, it would be the best counterattack, and he didn't need to pay any attention to the rumors from the outside world.
But there was one piece of news that made Su Jian quite uneasy:
What does "Jiang Xiao Zhenren is the lover of Taiyin Sword Master" mean? My daughter is still unmarried, how can her innocence be tarnished by such rumors!
Previously, because the Long-browed Immortal did not like to ask about Qingliu, although most people in Shushan had heard of the relationship between Jiang Xiao and Qing Heng, they all tacitly agreed not to discuss it - it had become a habit, so much so that when Su Jian took office, no one talked to him about this.
This cheap father-in-law knows nothing about this!
After learning about Ling Yunpo's past experiences from An Zhisu, Su Jian was very satisfied with this disciple.
First of all, this disciple has a strong and unyielding character, just like me.
In the past, Ziyun Peak was attracted by Ling Yunpo's natural talent for swordsmanship and sent his disciple Lou Zhizheng to recruit him, but was rejected by Ling Yunpo in a stern manner.
Su Jian could not find any fault with the fact that he was willing to stay in Qingluo Peak where there was no master to teach him. Then, he killed Lou Zhizheng swiftly and cleanly in the fight, which made Su Jian exclaim in delight.
Secondly, this disciple’s strength is outstanding, like me.
When he was in the foundation-building stage, he ranked second on the Shushan Immortal Sword Ranking and was honored as the "Cloud-breaking Sword Immortal". Needless to say, his strength was great. Although he didn't get first place, the first place was his precious daughter after all, so this disciple was actually very outstanding.
Having formed a third-grade golden elixir, you are second only to the top among the masters of the Shangqing sect of Mount Shu. The top is Su'er who has formed a second-grade golden elixir. It is normal that you cannot surpass her.
Not to mention the Baiyujing Competition and the Golden Palace Exploration, the positions of the Lords of the Twelve Secret Realms, the only few spots available on the Shushan side were also won by his daughter and apprentice.
In Su Jian's opinion, An Zhisu was taught by himself, so it was normal for him to have such talent and strength; but he had never taught Ling Yunpo at all, so the only explanation was "this boy resembles me".
It is reasonable that because he is very similar to Su Jian, he was chosen by An Zhisu at first sight when he first joined Shushan.
"Qing Heng." Su Jian finally found some free time, so he called Ling Yunpo to the bottom of Leidongping and asked, "What is your current cultivation level?"
"In reply to Master, I have just broken through the bottleneck recently and have entered the Youwei Stage of the Golden Core Realm." Ling Yunpo said respectfully.
From the moment he made up his mind to rescue his senior sister and stepped out of the cave where he was hiding, the bottleneck that had been bothering him was completely cleared.
"Yes." Although Su Jian had learned the details from An Zhisu, he still had to test the true strength of this cheap disciple himself. "Considering your current lifespan, your cultivation level is considered to be advancing rapidly."
I'm the fifth person to level up! Can you find someone who can level up faster than me?
Ling Yunpo complained in his heart but kept being humble in his words.
"Master, let me test your swordsmanship again." Su Jian said as he stretched out his hand and took the cold sword that An Zhisu had returned to him the day before. "Just draw your sword."
"Then I would be disrespectful to refuse it." Ling Yunpo nodded slightly and pulled out the Taiyin Suming Sword from his body.
Su Jian's eyelids twitched, and the muscles on his face twitched. He could only cough and said:
"The Taiyin Suming Sword is a sacred weapon of the human race, and it cannot be touched recklessly. Please change to another sword."
Ling Yunpo quickly put away the Su Ming sword, and summoned the Lei Li and Wan Zhu swords, and saluted respectfully to his master Su Jian.
If someone else did this, Su Jian would definitely despise them for being nagging.
However, Su Jian was in a state of liking Ling Yunpo at this moment, and he immediately liked his behavior of respecting his teacher and laughed loudly:
"Don't be shy, just attack."
