A trace of sadness flashed across Mingyue's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
"Senior, you summoned me to the Sword Tomb, but are you going to tell me the true cause of my ancestor's death?"
"Everyone says that my ancestor was a damned rebel who single-handedly started the Northern Continent Holy War a thousand years ago, but... the inheritance I received is not like that." Mingyue spread out her palms, and a milky white dagger formed in her palm, emitting an elegant and gentle glow.
"A gentleman does not fight, and is thus a weaponless person. This gentleman sword is the best portrayal of this. I do not believe that my Li ancestor is a sinner in the Northern Continent's cultivation world."
In the gray sword tomb, a drizzle of rain began to fall.
Li Mingyue raised her head, the wind lifted her veil, revealing a stunning face.
A soft sigh rang out from the misty sky. "I can only say that your ancestor sacrificed his life for all of Northern Continent's practitioners. He was a pioneer in Northern Continent's cultivation world."
"It's just that... right and wrong are different for different people. At least, the Li family kid is the only hero I've seen in the past 100,000 years who dares to draw his sword toward the sky."
"There are some things I can't tell you for now. When the time is right, you will know."
Li Mingyue came forward, her expression gloomy and uncertain.
If he was a hero, why was he still criticized by countless people after a thousand years? If he was a sinner, how could he make the sword of the number one gentleman in Beizhou recognize him as his master and achieve the reputation of Gaitian?
"The reason I summoned you here is because I felt that I had to give you the things that the Li family kid left here."
The moment the voice fell, a trace of wonderful aura suddenly emerged on the chessboard next to the bluestone, and gradually condensed into a ray of sword light.
"Your ancestor once entered the Sword Tomb, placed seven pieces on the Daoyun chessboard, and took the Gentleman Sword."
"But in fact, he only took away the sword body, not the sword soul."
"Today, I will give you the sword spirit to fulfill this opportunity that has been delayed for a thousand years."
The milky white sword light was extremely spiritual, like a fluttering green bird, raising its head and whistling softly. In an instant, the clouds in the sky rolled up, blowing away the haze of the entire sword tomb world, revealing a faint starry halo.
Immediately afterwards, the Qingque sword light turned around and penetrated into the Gentleman Sword in Li Mingyue's hand, disappearing without a trace.
Li Mingyue frowned and looked at the dagger in her hand. Suddenly, she felt that this sword that had accompanied her for decades seemed to have become a little different.
"Also... this immortal sword is not actually called a Gentleman, but... a Unweapon. I hope you will treat it well..."
The sound disappeared.
Li Mingyue looked at the magic sword in her palm, her eyes as dark as the sea.
At the same time, she had another doubt in her heart.
What on earth could possibly make a divine sword feel fear and submission? Could it be that that person also possessed a divine weapon? Or even... something more than a divine weapon?
…
In the heart of the sword tomb, Zong Ting reached out and pulled out a spiritual sword buried in the sand, and wiped it clean with great care.
Zong Ting looked at the woman following behind him and felt helpless.
"Sister Youqin, entering the Sword Tomb was my own decision. Why did you have to wade into this mess?"
Baili Youqin, carrying a broadsword, looked more manly than Zong Ting. "Hmph, I just wanted to see if you're truly qualified to compete for the position of city lord."
Zong Ting felt helpless.
"You have so little confidence in me..."
Baili Youqin sneered, "Are you worthy?"
Zong Ting "..."
These words are too hurtful. After all, you are childhood sweethearts. Is it appropriate to speak so harshly to someone right away?
"The Sword Tomb Secret Land is not like Taixuan's Demon Garden. There are no threats like captive monsters in it. As for whether the sword tomb's soul can be awakened, it depends entirely on my Dao rhyme and opportunity. No one can help." Zong Ting said.
"I know what you're worried about. The Sword Tomb was opened because of me, but many people from all walks of life have entered. You're worried that I'll suffer in this battle for this opportunity... Don't worry, although my strength isn't great, at least I bear the title of the Third Young Master of the Zong Family. Ordinary people shouldn't dare to attack me."
Baili Youqin looked at him as if he was an idiot.
How come I didn’t realize that this guy is as naive as a moron.
"It seems that my decision to enter the Sword Tomb with you was the right one." Baili Youqin sneered, "How could I, Baili Youqin, be interested in a brain-dead idiot like you?"
Zongting "..."
So sad.
"You were in Chaoyang City, and you almost died right under Uncle Liu's nose. Yet you still held on to the belief that no one would dare to attack you within the Sword Tomb?"
"Although Zong Yao and Zong Ye have bad intentions, they are at least not idiots. You actually want to snatch the position of city lord from them. You are really..."
Baili Youqin didn't know how to curse this idiot.
Baili Youqin strode forward with a broadsword on his back, while Zong Ting followed him listlessly, looking speechless.
A good wife?
You're such a jerk.
"The Sword Tomb is guarded by the Sword Tomb Spirit. The main test is one's understanding of the Dao of the Sword and the depth of one's own Dao rhyme. Therefore, the closer one gets to the center of the Sword Tomb, the more difficult it is to advance."
Baili Youqin said.
"This is actually beneficial to us. At least the blessing and Dao rhyme possessed by ordinary casual cultivators cannot be compared to you and me."
Zong Ting took a quick look. At the beginning, cultivators of different levels could be seen everywhere, but as they got closer to the center of the sword tomb, there were only a few cultivators to be encountered.
However, after entering the inner circle of a hundred miles, the strange oppressive force increased significantly.
In order to summon the soul of the sword tomb, the minimum requirement is to walk to the center of the sword tomb and find the Daoyun chessboard.
