Chapter 158: Apprentices meet, the battle to the top
Ask the Immortal Sect.
Chu Xiao sat next to the sect leader's seat.
At this moment, all the elders and powerful men of Wenxian Sect looked at each other, with a trace of surprise and doubt in their expressions.
"This time, the Eastern Region Holy Land sent an envoy hoping to cooperate with our Wenxian Sect and make progress together. I would like to hear what the elders think." Chu Xiao spoke first, raising his hand to ask.
"I feel that this matter is suspicious. Why would the Eastern Region Holy Land suddenly want to make friends with my Wenxian Sect for no reason? I'm afraid there is something fishy going on."
"Some time ago, the strong men from the Eastern Region Holy Land caused a big disturbance near Mingyue City and clashed with our Wenxian Sect. Not only did they not come to accuse us, but they also wanted to cooperate with us. I suspect there is something fishy going on. We should not agree to it easily."
"The strength of the Eastern Region Holy Land is very strong. If we don't agree to them, we might offend the Eastern Region Holy Land."
"Humph, our Wenxian Sect is also quite powerful. Why should we be afraid of their Eastern Region Holy Land? Besides, do they dare to attack our Wenxian Sect?"
"There is no rush for this matter. We still need to find out the reason."
As the saying goes, if someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.
More than half of the elders present were skeptical about the sudden show of goodwill from the Eastern Region Holy Land, and some even felt that the other party had ill intentions and wanted to plot against the Wenxian Sect.
Of course, it wasn’t just the elders of the Wenxian Sect who thought so. Chu Xiao also didn’t think there would be such a good thing that would suddenly fall from the sky.
"In that case, which elder is willing to represent the Wenxian Sect to go to the Holy Land of the East Region to test it out?" Chu Xiao asked slowly.
After everyone hesitated and discussed, the great elder of the Wenxian Sect finally stood up and said in a deep voice: "The Eastern Region Holy Land sent their great elder here, which shows that they attach great importance to this matter. Then our Wenxian Sect also needs to pay attention to it. Let me go to the Eastern Region Holy Land myself."
"Okay, thank you for your help." Seeing this, Chu Xiao did not hesitate and nodded slightly.
Afterwards, the people of Wenxian Sect discussed it in detail again, and then the elders and powerful men of Wenxian Sect left.
Chu Xiao let out a long sigh, a tired look appeared on his face. He sighed, "I'm so tired. Recently, various things have happened one after another. It's better to be with Second Master when he is here. I can practice with peace of mind and don't have to worry about these things. I don't know how she is doing after entering the immortal path, and whether she has successfully found the opportunity to become an immortal."
"I really envy my senior sisters. They can concentrate on their practice every day and visit Master occasionally."
"By the way, I haven't visited my master for a long time. I have nothing to do right now, so I'll go to Mingyue City to take a look."
As soon as he thought of this, Chu Xiao's figure suddenly disappeared on the fairy peak and escaped into the void.
Soon, Chu Xiao appeared in Mingyue City and came to the courtyard where Lai Yang lived.
At this moment, a trace of extremely dangerous murderous intent locked onto Chu Xiao. Jian Wuji, who was comprehending the sword intent, suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Chu Xiao who had intruded into this place without permission, and asked in a cold voice: "Who are you? How dare you trespass here?"
Chu Xiao's expression revealed a solemn look, and a powerful aura emanated from his body to resist the opponent's pressure and intimidation. He immediately asked, "Who are you and why are you in my master's yard?"
Hearing this, Jian Wuji was slightly startled, slowly restrained the sword intent he was emitting, and asked doubtfully: "Master? Are you Chu Xiao?"
"Yes, I am Chu Xiao. How do you know my name?" Chu Xiao became even more confused and looked at Jian Wuji in front of him vigilantly.
"My name is Jian Wuji, and I'm the second disciple accepted by Master." Jian Wuji explained immediately.
"Are you my second junior brother?" Chu Xiao couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that, and blurted out in astonishment.
"Yes, Jian Wuji meets senior brother." Jian Wuji nodded and saluted.
Although his cultivation is much higher than Chu Xiao's, he is the eldest senior brother after all, so he still has to show due courtesy.
“Jian Wuji, you are Jian Wuji, the number one genius in the Eastern Region’s sword arts.” An expression of disbelief emerged in Chu Xiao’s eyes.
As far as he knew, Jian Wuji was the number one genius in swordsmanship in the Eastern Region Holy Land, and was also a top-notch expert at the peak of the seventh realm.
A strong man like him is actually willing to accept the master as his teacher?
"Senior Brother, please don't embarrass me. In front of our master, how dare I claim to be the best in swordsmanship? I have successfully become our master's disciple and am learning swordsmanship from him. From now on, we will be brothers from the same sect." Jian Wuji said with a gentle smile.
"Where is Master?" Chu Xiao asked subconsciously.
Before getting Lai Yang's personal confirmation, he would not simply believe Jian Wuji's one-sided words.
However, at this moment, Chu Xiao believed it most of the time.
With the power of the Master, Jian Wuji would not be able to appear here without the Master's permission.
Besides, the news that Jian Wuji wanted to become a disciple of the Sword Immortal of Mingyue City was widely circulated, so Chu Xiao naturally heard about it.
It turns out that the legendary sword immortal senior refers to my master.
"Master is resting in the house. I'll go call him." After saying that, Jian Wuji walked towards the house.
Seeing this scene, Chu Xiao immediately said: "Since Master is resting, don't disturb him."
Then, the door of the house slowly opened and Lai Yang walked out.
From the moment Chu Xiao's aura appeared in Mingyue City, Lai Yang had already sensed Chu Xiao's existence.
"You're here." Lai Yang looked at Chu Xiao and said lightly.
"Disciple Chu Xiao, greetings to Master." Chu Xiao bowed respectfully.
"Well, stand up. He is your second junior brother Jian Wuji, and he is my newest disciple." Lai Yang nodded, then pointed to Jian Wuji next to him and introduced him.
After hearing Lai Yang's words, Chu Xiao finally put aside his doubts and called out, "Junior Brother Wuji."
"Senior Brother Chu Xiao." Jian Wuji responded.
"You came at the right time. I plan to let your Junior Brother Wuji join your Wenxian Sect. If he helps you, I'm sure you won't have to worry about many things."
"Junior Brother Wuji wants to join the Wenxian Sect. Of course I welcome it very much."
Hearing this, Chu Xiao looked delighted.
Jian Wuji is a swordsman at the peak of the seventh realm, and it is said that he has already comprehended the extremely strong sword intent, and his combat power far exceeds that of the average seventh realm peak.
If he is willing to join the Wenxian Sect, it will definitely be a great improvement to the overall combat power level of the Wenxian Sect.
Since Lan Qingxian handed the Wenxian Sect over to him, Chu Xiao naturally had to develop the Wenxian Sect's future well.
"There is one more thing. I may go traveling around in a while. I haven't seen the scenery of other places in the Wenxian Continent for a long time. You must take care to protect yourselves when I am away. If there is any danger that cannot be solved, use the communication talisman I gave you and I will come back to help you."
"Master, are you leaving? Where are you going?"
"I don't know. I'll just go wherever I can. The world is so big and I want to see it."
Lai Yang turned his head and looked into the void, then spoke calmly.
Afterwards, Lai Yang retracted his gaze and looked at Chu Xiao: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. It's been a long time since we last met. You are now the acting leader of the Wenxian Sect. You are so famous. I wonder if your cultivation has fallen behind. Come and fight with me for a few moves. Let me see your current strength."
Hearing this, Chu Xiao’s expression froze. Master must be trying to beat him up again.
"Well, I think that's not necessary."
"Don't worry, I will be gentle."
At this moment, Jian Wuji suddenly stood up and interrupted, "Master, why don't you let me learn from Senior Brother? I have recently gained some insights into the sword spirit."
"Oh?" Lai Yang's eyes fell on Jian Wuji, he looked him up and down for a few times, and nodded, "This is the first time you two have met, it's good for you to get to know each other better, this is not a suitable place to fight, let's go to another place."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lai Yang reached out, grabbed one person with each hand, and took the two of them into the void and left Mingyue City.
When the two came to their senses, they subconsciously looked at their surroundings and found that they were now on a vast ocean.
"Is this... above the Endless Sea?" Chu Xiao said in surprise.
Lai Yang nodded and said calmly: "That's right, you don't have to worry too much here, you can do whatever you want."
At this moment, both Chu Xiao and Jian Wuji could not help but feel shocked.
The distance from Zhongzhou to the Endless Sea is a long one. Even if Jian Wuji, a sword cultivator at the peak of the seventh realm, travels at his best, it will still take him half a day to reach the edge of the Endless Sea from Mingyue City.
Lai Yang was able to take the two of them across thousands of miles to the Endless Sea in an instant. His strength was truly unfathomable and terrifying.
Lai Yang let go of Jian Wuji and Chu Xiao, and immediately used the power of heaven and earth to set up a seventh-order space formation to isolate the outside world to prevent anyone from spying on them when they were fighting.
After finishing everything, Lai Yang turned around and looked at the two of them, and said calmly: "Okay, you guys start, I'm here, you can go all out."
“Big Brother, I won’t bully you. I will suppress my own realm so that we can have a fair fight.” Jian Wuji put one hand behind his back and held a sword in the other. He stared at Chu Xiao with a pair of sharp eyes, and an extremely dangerous aura slowly spread from his body.
Sensing the fatal threat from Jian Wuji, Chu Xiao did not dare to be careless.
A top-grade spiritual spear suddenly appeared in his hand, and then a shocking and perfect spear intent burst out from his body, sweeping across the world.
Seeing this scene, Jian Wuji's eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help but feel a little shocked.
"The pinnacle of gun intent?!" Jian Wuji said in astonishment.
How is this possible? He looks so young, how is it possible for him to comprehend the ultimate in spearmanship?
Take Jian Wuji for example. He started learning sword at the age of ten. It took him a hundred years to comprehend the threshold of sword intent, and another hundred years to achieve some success in sword intent.
After that, he spent countless efforts and time, delving into the sword art for thousands of years before he cultivated the sword spirit to the highest level of perfection, becoming a sword art prodigy in the Eastern Region.
And Chu Xiao in front of him, judging from his age, has probably only been practicing for no more than 300 years, but he has already comprehended the pinnacle of spear intent. He is simply a monster!
No wonder he became the master's first disciple.
Jian Wuji was originally very proud of himself for having achieved a breakthrough to the pinnacle of sword power, and he believed that apart from his master, he was not afraid of anyone in the same realm.
The terrifying gun intent that Chu Xiao erupted at this moment was not weaker than his sword intent at all, and the opponent was still so young.
Jian Wuji suddenly felt that his self-esteem had been hit.
Seeing this, Lai Yang nodded with satisfaction.
It must be said that Chu Xiao is worthy of being the son of destiny. He has actually already comprehended the pinnacle of spear intent. This combat power can be said to be invincible in the entire Wenxian Continent.
Of course, except for the cheaters.
"Brother Wuji, be careful, I'm coming, take my shot, Jinglong!"
As soon as the words fell, the high-grade spirit spear in Chu Xiao's hand swung out countless afterimages.
Then the terrifying gun intent, with the power to destroy the world, condensed into a black dragon, roaring and rushing towards Jian Wuji.
The power of Chu Xiao's shot is enough to kill any strong man below the middle stage of the seventh realm in seconds.
"Come on, watch me slay the dragon with one sword!"
Jian Wuji had to take it seriously. He swung the spirit sword in his hand into a sword flower, and then countless sword shadows transformed into a huge sword that slashed towards the ferocious black dragon.
The spear light and sword light collided and intertwined, and terrifying power erupted in an instant. The waters of the Endless Sea were affected and surged violently, causing huge waves that seemed to swallow up the world, and the momentum was extremely terrifying.
After a brief test, Chu Xiao and Jian Wuji rushed towards each other at the same time and engaged in a fierce confrontation.
The attack of the two was like a violent storm, with countless gun and sword shadows colliding at a speed so fast that it was impossible to see with the naked eye, and bursts of powerful buzzing sounds continued to be heard in the ears.
"Meanwhile, the Immortal Falls!" Chu Xiao shouted in a low voice, and the spiritual spear in his hand swung and spun. A spear filled with a breath of destruction fell from the sky domineeringly and killed Jian Wuji fiercely.
"Heaven-cutting Sword Technique, break!"
Jian Wuji changed from holding the sword in one hand to holding it in both hands, and slashed with all his strength from bottom to top. A terrifying sword light that shook the world seemed to split the sky.
The moment the two forces came into contact, the surrounding space showed signs of distortion and vibration, as if it was unable to withstand the impact and destruction brought by the power of the two.
Under the endless sea, many sea monsters were killed by the aftermath of the battle between the two and fled away from this dangerous place in panic.
At the same time, the noise caused by the battle between the two was so great that it even alarmed the terrifying monsters hidden under the endless sea.
Just as the two were fighting with all their might, an extremely powerful aura of a demon beast slowly emerged from under the endless sea.
Instantly, a sense of danger surged into their hearts. Chu Xiao and Jian Wuji subconsciously stopped and looked down at the sea.
Against the huge shadow emerging from the water, the figures of the three people looked extremely small and weak.
"What is that?" Chu Xiao was surprised.
"Perhaps it was because of the noise of our fight that alarmed it. Don't be afraid, brother. Watch me kill it."
Jian Wuji no longer deliberately suppressed his own realm, and the aura of the peak of the seventh realm burst out.
"Heaven-slashing sword technique."
The next moment, Jian Wuji split the endless sea beneath his feet with a sword, and the sea surface and the monster that was about to appear were instantly split into two by the terrifying sword energy.
"Humph, a beast who doesn't know how to live or die."
