"Leaving now?"

"I didn't intend to die in the first place, but now that I'm inferior, of course I'm leaving."

"So, our feud with the Tuling Sect is over?"

"Yes, Zhong Lingxiu offended us, but he is already dead. And because this was a plan by the Wei Hai Sect, the grudge between us and the Tu Ling Sect is no longer a big deal."

Yi Ming looked at the direction where Zhong Yuan disappeared and said calmly, "One fight will settle the grudges. The rest will be a matter between the Tuling Sect and the Weihai Sect."

"But it is very difficult for the Tuling Sect to kill Jiang Zhongliu." Bei Xueqing said in a cold voice.

Weihai Sect had to pay a price for assassinating Zhong Lingxiu, but this price could not be Jiang Zhongliu's life. What was the difference between this and Weihai Sect's direct surrender to Tuling Sect? "It is estimated that Weihai Sect may have several talented disciples who disappeared inexplicably." Luo Shi sighed.

Of course he could see that these four people were great cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage.

"When does the Mingjian Mountain Sword Fighting Competition begin?" Yi Ming asked.

"Must I learn a sword technique?"

"That's right." The monk nodded and bowed to Yi Ming and the other three.

"Go ahead." Yi Ming said with a smile. Of course, this person heard what they just said.

"No, Mingjian Mountain has elders stationed in five cities for Qi Refining cultivators to compete in sword fighting. Finally, ten people are selected from each city to go to Mingjian Mountain to participate in the sword fighting competition." The cultivator explained, "After all, there are too many Qi Refining cultivators. If they all flock to Mingjian Mountain, the mountain will not be able to handle it."

Yi Ming and his companions looked at each other. They had arrived at Mingjian Mountain’s sphere of influence.

"If Qingyangzi were here, he would have already become a guest elder of Mingjian Mountain." Yi Ming shook his head and could only sigh at the unpredictability of life.

Yi Ming smiled and said nothing. He just threw a few spirit stones to a Qi Refining cultivator on the side of the road who was smiling at them.

"What does this have to do with us?" Bai Rongrong chuckled, but her eyes flickered as she looked at Yi Ming with some worry, "I am a little worried. Will the Wei Hai Sect target Master Yi because he revealed their conspiracy?"

"Are they qualified to participate in the sword fighting competition held by Mingjian Mountain?" Luo Shi pointed curiously at the large number of Qi Refining cultivators in the city.

…

"What's going on?" Luo Shi asked curiously.

The spring breeze brings coolness to your face, and colorful flowers fill the city with fragrance.

The monk took the spirit stone, smiling broadly, and in a few flashes he came to the four people, bowed his hands in greeting, and said, "Greetings, seniors!"

The bustle that Bai Rongrong mentioned was certainly not the bustle of the people in the city admiring the flowers, but the fact that many monks with sword-like aura appeared in the city. The density was even greater than that in Qianying City.

Yi Ming continued to ask, "Is it allowed to watch the Mingjian Mountain Sword Fighting Competition?"

Mingjian Mountain holds a sword fighting competition every five years.

This conference is not about cultivation, but swordsmanship, so any cultivator who has advanced to the Qi Refining Stage and can control a sword can participate. Because theoretically, if your swordsmanship is advanced enough, you can defeat the Jindan Patriarch with your Qi Refining Stage cultivation! Of course, there has never been such an example of a victory over a Jindan Patriarch, but there have indeed been cases where a Qi Refining Stage cultivator defeated a Condensation Stage cultivator, and a Condensation Stage cultivator defeated a Jindan Patriarch.

"I didn't expect this to happen." Yi Ming said with a smile, "Mingjianshan is a good person. Its reputation is definitely much better than Weihai Sect and Tuling Sect."

"It's so lively here!" Bai Rongrong looked around the city.

Therefore, every five years, there would be a grand event for sword cultivators in Mingjian Mountain. Sword cultivators from surrounding areas would all gather in Mingjian Mountain, hoping to become famous with their swords in this sword fighting competition.

"Then cultivators above the Condensation Stage will go directly to Mingjian Mountain?" Bai Rongrong asked.

…

"Hmm?" Yi Ming raised his eyebrows.

"Replying to Senior, in three days, the city will begin arranging sword fighting competitions for sword cultivators, which will be completed within ten days, and the sword fighting competition at Mingjian Mountain will be scheduled to begin in half a month."

Whether it is guidance from masters, being accepted as a guest official, or having the opportunity to receive rewards and discuss the Dao, it is extremely attractive to disciples from various sects and the majority of independent practitioners.

Half a month later, Pingyang City.

Yi Ming smiled slightly, "I hope they won't do that, otherwise they will experience what an invisible killer is."

From the tone of this small independent cultivator broker in front of him, he could tell how good the reputation of Mingjian Mountain was in this generation.

The monk nodded hurriedly, "My elder brother, our city is called Pingyang City, and it is a city under the jurisdiction of Mingjian Mountain. The monks in front of us are all here to participate in the Mingjian Mountain Sword Fighting Competition."

"Is Mingjian Mountain near Pingyang City? Why are all of them gathered in Pingyang City, but they are all cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage?"

Bai Rongrong looked around, but found almost no cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage in the city.

Ahem, of course, there are no rewards for Jindan cultivators, they can just sit and discuss with the ancestors of Mingjian Mountain. This is why some sword cultivators in the early Jindan stage will also participate in the sword fighting conference.

"Of course, the sword fighting competition in Mingjian Mountain only compares sword skills, not cultivation." The monk's tone was full of pride.

…

Immediately afterwards, four beams of light cut through the void and disappeared into the distant sky.

This clearly points out a path for independent cultivators. Even if you don't have the opportunity to practice martial arts, as long as you are talented enough and have mastered the swordsmanship, you can join Mingjian Mountain, become a guest elder of Mingjian Mountain, and obtain resources and techniques that can improve your cultivation.

They flew all the way here just to see the colorful scenery and the fragrance of flowers, so they came down to stroll around. But they ended up seeing sword cultivators all over the city, and of course they were very curious.

Mingjian Mountain is a mid-level earth-level sect. It has several sword cultivators in the middle stage of the Golden Core stage and is one of the most powerful sects in the central region of Tianwu Continent.

Moreover, regardless of winning or losing, as long as you perform well in the sword fighting competition, you may receive guidance from the Jindan Patriarch of Mingjian Mountain, and even be accepted as a guest elder by Mingjian Mountain! And the cultivator who wins the first place in the Mingjian Mountain Sword Fighting Competition will be given a gift by Mingjian Mountain according to the cultivator's cultivation level.

"You must learn a sword technique." The cultivator nodded and said, "According to an old sword cultivator from Mingjian Mountain, if your sword technique is not up to standard, what is the point of going up the mountain to see?"

Yi Ming blinked, feeling that what the other party said made a lot of sense.

But Luo Shi and Bai Rongrong don’t practice swordsmanship, so won’t they be able to go up?

The monk paused, and seeing that Yi Ming had an unclear expression and the other two female monks also had some embarrassment in their eyes, he turned his eyes and knew what was going on with them.

“Don’t worry, senior. Since you are going there together, as long as one of you has passed the swordsmanship test, you can all go up the mountain to watch the ceremony together.” The monk explained hurriedly.
