Chapter 135: The highest peak of swordsmanship, send the sword tower here yourself
In front of the Zhenwu Mountain Gate.
It was silent.
Only Tang Qiu's crying was echoing. The once high and mighty leader of the Sword Pavilion was now crying like a helpless child. In front of him were the bodies of several people from the Sword Pavilion. He stretched out his hand tremblingly, but retracted it as if he had been electrocuted.
He was terribly scared.
Although he didn't know why Master Tianjian spared his life, he didn't dare to make any unnecessary moves at this time.
But no one in the Zhenwu sect sympathized with Tang Qiu.
Especially for the many mountain-guarding disciples who had seen the faces of the people in Wenjian Pavilion before, two words popped up in their minds.
You deserve it!
Everyone just looked at the gradually silent Zhenwu Sword Monument with admiration, and the admiration and amazement in their eyes seemed tangible.
The scene just now was truly shocking.
The thirty-six heavenly swords transformed into a sword formation and killed Gu Changhe with ease without any suspense.
Some Zhenwu disciples have already seen the mystery.
"What Senior Tianjian used was... the Tiangang Sword Formation? Could it be that the Tiangang Disha Sword Formation was created by Senior Tianjian?"
As they were amazed, they also burst into unprecedented enthusiasm. The Tiangang Disha Sword Formation has now become a major signature feature of the Zhenwu Sect. Many Zhenwu disciples have exchanged for this sword formation and practiced together.
Although they had worked hard to practice the sword formation in the past, they were not as eager and urgent as they are now.
They saw a connection with Master Tianjian, and at the same time they had a deep-seated hope in their hearts: what if one day they could evolve the Tiangang Disha Sword Formation on their own?
The three hundred young seedlings who had just entered the profession opened their eyes wide, and were extremely shocked.
After all, seeing is believing.
Master Tianjian was destined to be the goal they would strive for throughout their lives.
Goudan clenched his fists, his eyes determined.
"One day I will become as strong as Senior Tianjian and protect our Zhenwu Sect!"
These days.
He finally felt at home again.
He had plenty of food, clean clothes, a windproof place to live, no one looked down on him, and he could practice martial arts. Even his sister was allowed to stay with him in Zhenwu Mountain. He was filled with gratitude.
Luo Wentian sensed the changing spirits of the disciples around him and smiled in his heart.
This is a good thing.
In fact, even though he had been mentally prepared, he was still shocked and secretly gasped. He had thought that it would be like last time, with Ning Qi appearing and fighting with the Sword of Questioning, but he did not expect that Ning Qi would not show up at all, but just activated the sword monument to easily solve the problem of Gu Changhe.
He didn't have time to marvel at Ning Qi's strength. He walked towards Tang Qiu with a smile, his voice somewhat calm:
"Master Tang, can we discuss the matter of the spy now?"
Tang Qiu shuddered.
In his eyes, the calm Luo Wentian looked as scary as an evil ghost, like the embodiment of Tianjian Zhenren. He shuddered all over and understood why he survived. He did not dare to look into Luo Wentian's eyes and just said:
"Okay, okay... Sect Master Luo, you have the final say."
Luo Wentian smiled happily, and he welcomed Tang Qiu in cordially, as if the previous conflict had never happened.
…
The foot of Zhenwu Mountain.
There was complete silence.
The warriors who rushed over were all turned into sculptures. They stared at the corpse falling from the sky with their mouths wide open, somewhat unable to believe it.
They thought there would be a great war.
But I didn't expect it to be like this.
The Sword of Questioning the Heart was solved just like that, and even the True Man Tianjian didn't show up. This was beyond everyone's imagination.
Chen Xing hissed and glared at Chen Yue:
"Why are you pinching me?"
Chen Yue murmured:
"This is true, the Sword of Questioning the Heart was cut down by the Heavenly Sword Master!"
Veins popped up on Chen Xing's forehead, but this anger immediately turned into a long sigh, and the shock in her eyes was no less than that in Chen Yue's.
"This Heavenly Sword Master... is truly terrifying. In the past, I thought that it was a blessing for the Zhenwu Sect to have the prince. I always thought that the Zhenwu Sect was too small to accommodate the prince. But now it seems that I was superficial. The prince is still the prince after all. He may have discovered it a long time ago."
Chen Yue nodded in agreement, then let out a painful cry. Chen Xing pinched her back when she wasn't paying attention.
The two sisters are just a microcosm.
Thousands of warriors were shocked.
When all the strange phenomena disappeared, Tang Qiu also disappeared into the mountain gate with Luo Wentian and others, and there were exclamations one after another.
"Master Tianjian's strength is unfathomable! Thirty-sixth on the Heavenly Man Ranking? This is simply the biggest fallacy of this Heavenly Man Ranking!"
"Even the fourteenth on the Heavenly Man Ranking was defeated so miserably. Heavenly Sword Master must be in the top ten or even the top five on the Heavenly Man Ranking!"
“Who said that Tianjian Zhenren’s life span is limited? This may be an old Sword God who has achieved great success late in life. His rise is unstoppable. Perhaps he will be able to reach the realm of Sword Saint before his life span reaches its limit and live for another thousand years!”
Excited discussions rang out.
Everyone was venting their inner shock without restraint.
They are trying to increase Tian Jian Zhenren's strength as much as possible, not wanting to be "slapped in the face" again and again.
If it weren't for the fact that the higher you go on the Heavenly Man List, the stronger those peerless old monsters become, they would even want to take the risk of "great disapproval" and rank Tianjian Zhenren in an absurd position.
But even so.
Master Tianjian has also reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship.
Some swordsmen couldn't help but compare him with the 'Sun-Chasing Sword King' who was ranked fifth on the Heavenly Man List.
The Sun-Chasing Sword King was a true swordsman legend, who had held the title of 'the world's number one swordsman' for two hundred years, and no one could shake his position. Any one of his many achievements was astonishing, and no swordsman dared to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
But now.
The performance of Tianjian Zhenren made them unable to help but fantasize.
No one knows where the limits of Tianjian Zhenren are.
Qin Yun stared deeply in the direction of the Zhenwu Mountain Gate. The place that was once so familiar to him now became an unreachable dream, and even a little unfamiliar to him.
He sighed softly.
I remembered the strange Taoist I met when I was exploring the Taoist temple that night.
When Tian Jian Zhenren had not yet shown up, he thought that was Tian Jian Zhenren, but after seeing Tian Jian Zhenren's last battle with Jing Lei Dao Zun, he felt that it was not him. But today, for some reason, he now felt that it was him.
It may be because Master Tianjian rose too fast.
So much so that he had an illusion -
"Master Tianjian is not hiding his strength, but he has suddenly become so powerful in just a few years!"
This strange thought frightened him and he immediately shook his head and smiled bitterly.
How is that possible.
He overdrew 400 years of his life in the Blood Demon Pool, and had only just stepped into the Heavenly Man Realm. How could someone have such terrifying strength in just a few years? Even if he used up the extra 400 years of life after being promoted to the Heavenly Man, he would still be far from reaching the level of Heavenly Sword Master.
He realized that perhaps it was because the Taoist priest had left him with too much psychological trauma.
"He is probably only at the Gangyuan realm. If I meet him now, I can easily defeat him." Qin Yun had complicated thoughts in his mind.
Unconsciously, he turned his head to look at the Saintess of Southern Border beside him. The breeze blew across a corner of the black veil, and he saw her sharp and pretty chin. The owner of the chin was silent, no longer as active as before. Qin Yun subconsciously asked:
"Saint, what are you thinking about?"
The two had already left quietly and were walking in a forest. The wind blew through the leaves, making a rustling sound.
The Saint of Southern Xinjiang sighed:
"I was wondering how much of a threat Tianjian would pose to us if he went crazy."
Qin Yun was shocked and almost forgot about the important matter.
The purpose of this trip was to evaluate the strength of Tianjian Zhenren in order to determine what action to take against the Zhenwu Sect next. Since they had failed to infiltrate a spy before, they had originally planned to secretly capture some important figures of the Zhenwu Sect for interrogation.
And now.
Master Tianjian undoubtedly gave them a big surprise.
Qin Yun remained calm and said calmly:
"Although the top ten or even the top five of the Heavenly Man Ranking are very strong, we in the Holy Sect and your Southern Border are not without them, so why worry about it?"
After knowing the strength of Master Tianjian, he was not so anxious. He knew the style of the Demon Sect and Southern Xinjiang. He would be more careful in front of such a strong man. Although he was not afraid of him, there was no need to offend him.
The Saint of Southern Border glanced at Qin Yun and said:
"Is Qin Shengzi so sure that this is the full strength of Tianjian Zhenren? What if he can rival Dao Mo and catch up with Elder Tingfeng?"
"Even if we can deal with such a person, we need to beat him to death with one blow. Otherwise, we will have a mortal enemy and he will be watching us from the dark, which will cause endless trouble."
She looked back at the Zhenwu Sect and sighed:
"It seems that we have to take it slow. We can't be so simplistic and crude. Let's start from the matter of the Blood King Gu. I recently discovered something interesting, and it is somewhat related to Qin Shengzi."
Qin Yun was stunned.
The Saint of Southern Xinjiang chuckled:
"Ten years ago, Taoist Longshan brought back a baby named Ning Qi, who is your ninth junior brother, Qin Shengzi. He might not have been picked up from the wilderness by Taoist Longshan, but was born in the Xuemei Villa that was exterminated that year. Of course, you might have never heard of this name. If I hadn't looked through the old files, I would never have known it."
She had studied Qin Yun and the Zhenwu Sect, and roughly guessed some of the reasons why Qin Yun left the Zhenwu Sect.
Qin Yun's pupils shrank sharply.
The Saint of Southern Xinjiang continued:
"Back then, the owner of Xuemei Villa discovered the Blood King Gu, and a small branch of our Southern Xinjiang in Qingzhou wiped it out. But I didn't expect that stupid guy to miss one person, who was saved by Taoist Longshan."
"Of course, he actually paid attention to this matter and once suspected whether the person brought back by Taoist Longshan was a survivor from Xuemei Villa. However, at that time, the Blood Rain Tower was about to be established and the merits were being rewarded. This guy kept it a secret and did not report it, so no one sneaked into Zhenwu Mountain to investigate."
Actually.
Back then, Master Feng was shocked when he learned that Taoist Longshan brought back a baby named Ning Qi.
But after thinking it over for a while, he finally decided to keep the matter secret.
Firstly, he was being promoted based on his merits and did not want to get involved. If he continued the investigation and involved Taoist Longshan, a Yuandan realm expert, it would probably take even more effort.
Secondly, he suspected that Taoist Longshan was deliberately fishing and gave the baby the surname "Ning" on purpose in order to lure the snake out of its hole. After all, how could a baby survive such a big fire?
Even if the baby was really the son of Ning Ye and his wife, it would take decades or even a hundred years for him to take revenge. By that time, he might have already reached the realm of heaven and man and would not be in a hurry at all.
Qin Yun felt a hint of murderous intent towards the Southern Xinjiang Alliance, but he said calmly:
"What does this have to do with the destruction of the Qingzhou stronghold?"
The Saint of Southern Xinjiang stopped and said:
"The Taoist of Longshan has been investigating the matter of Blood Rain Tower for several years. Although he did it secretly, there are still traces. The motive of Zhenwu Sect is even stronger. This alone is worthy of suspicion. On the other hand, our two families have spent so much manpower and material resources during this period of time, but there is no trace at all. Isn't this enough to explain the problem?"
Qin Yun said:
"Then according to the Saint Lady, is it to wipe out the Zhenwu Sect in one fell swoop?"
A sigh sounded in the woods:
"If it was before today, it would be simple."
"But now, wait. Before the Martial Saint of our two families is born, it is not a good thing to provoke such a troublesome enemy. When the Martial Saint is born, Tianjian Zhenren will be just a bigger ant."
"When the time comes... we'll use the Zhenwu Sect as a sacrifice."
Qin Yun felt awe in his heart.
However, a haze gradually appeared in his eyes.
It’s not just because of the situation of the Zhenwu Sect, but also because of the implicit reminder from the Saint of Southern Xinjiang.
Obviously.
The Demon Sect and Southern Frontier had quietly discovered a lot of intelligence and even formulated a strategy against the Zhenwu Sect, but he knew nothing about it and was excluded. This meant that he had lost the trust of the Demon Sect. If the Saint of Southern Frontier had not secretly pointed it out, he would probably have thought that the two forces were slowly investigating and preparing to abduct important figures of the Zhenwu Sect for interrogation.
If it weren't for the incredible fighting power of Tianjian Zhenren today, perhaps in a few days the masters of both forces would have climbed the mountain and wiped out the whole family, and he would have been kept in the dark.
"When did you start to doubt me?"
"When we first met and discussed with the Southern Border Alliance? Or when we sent spies to take the test?"
Qin Yun lowered his head. He realized that he had greatly underestimated the Demon Sect. He originally thought that he had done it perfectly, but now it seemed a little ridiculous. He just still had value. He didn't know when he would become a discarded pawn.
Qin Yun woke up.
After coming out of the Blood Demon Pool, Piaopiao, who became the candidate Holy Son, disappeared.
The Saint of Southern Border did not look back. She walked faster and faster, and her back disappeared into the forest. Only a faint voice sounded:
"Qin Shengzi, wavering is not a good habit."
Qin Yun's eyes were uncertain.
He realized that he faced a choice.
…
The sword of conscience died!
This news spread across Dayan at a terrifying speed. Only thirty-six people were selected from the Heavenly Man List. Gu Changhe, who was ranked fourteenth, was already at the top of the Heavenly Man List. The death of such a peerless strong man was definitely a major event that shocked the world.
And if you add one more thing——
The Sword of Questioning the Heart was easily suppressed by Master Tianjian and killed with one sword.
This news was like an earthquake.
Everyone who heard the news had a first reaction of disbelief. The recent conflict between the Sword-Seeking Pavilion and the Zhenwu Sect had attracted much attention, but it would end with the Sword of the Heart falling? They had never thought of that.
But when the people who were present that day stood up.
You have to believe it even if you don't believe it.
After all, there were many powerful people in the realm of heaven and man among those watching the battle that day.
There is absolutely no need to lie about this kind of thing, it will be exposed with just one poke.
For a while.
True Man Tian Jian is famous throughout the world.
In the thirteen states of Dayan, people were discussing the matter.
Especially after the details of the fight between Gu Changhe and Master Tianjian that day were revealed, the swordsmen became even more excited. Almost everyone felt that Master Tianjian already had the strength to become the world's number one swordsman.
The fame of the Zhenwu Sword Monument grew. Although the True Man Tianjian never showed up, he just used the sword monument to attract the heavenly thunder to transform into the Heavenly Sword and killed Gu Changhe. This made all the swordsmen yearn for the Zhenwu Sword Monument, and many swordsmen began to set out for Zhenwu Mountain.
After listening to the details of the battle, Jinglei Daozun remained silent for a long time.
There was horror and confusion in his eyes.
"The sword monument attracts the thunder? Why does this sound... like the Thunder Blade."
He thought of the Secret Record of Thunder that he had sent to the mountain before and the Heavenly Thunder Sword as an apology, and his whole body trembled and broke out in a cold sweat. Then he announced that he wanted to go into seclusion for the next twenty years!
There is discussion everywhere.
Warrior after warrior was amazed, and martial arts sects raised the status of the Zhenwu School higher and higher.
Everyone in the Wuxiang Sect broke out in cold sweats.
Their mental journey was very tortuous. At first, they were afraid that Tianjian Zhenren would offer many apologies, but after seeing Wenjian Pavilion hold out for two months, they began to regret it. They felt that they gave in too quickly, causing their reputation to plummet.
But now, after seeing the end of Wenjian Pavilion, they can only feel fortunate.
Fortunately, I gave in quickly.
King Zhenbei looked at the letter sent by Chen Xing and Chen Yue. In addition to a detailed description of the battle that day, it also contained words of praise for his keen eye.
He was a little confused.
"Does the king really have a keen eye?"
Chen Xing and Chen Yue thought that he had already known about the power of Taoist Tianjian and that was why he sent Li Ling to Zhenwu Mountain. But in fact, it was not the case at all. He sent Li Ling there for Taoist Longshan.
King Zhenbei rarely smiled bitterly.
He was present when Thunder Blade Master and Tian Jian Zhenren fought each other. He once lamented that Tian Jian Zhenren had extraordinary sword intent but his cultivation level was not up to par, so he could not truly stand at the top of the Heavenly Man Realm. But now it seems that Tian Jian Zhenren cannot be judged by common sense at all.
This is an elderly sword god, undoubtedly at the same level as him. Even after seeing Chen Xing and Chen Yue's description, he vaguely felt that perhaps this was not the limit of Master Tianjian.
King Zhenbei thought more.
"I should have thought of it earlier. If Tian Jian Zhenren wants to find out about the Martial Saint, he must have already achieved the Perfection of Essence, Energy and Spirit, and is on the path to the Martial Saint."
There was desire in his eyes.
"The path to becoming a martial saint is so difficult, it's a good thing to have a companion."
“But this time, perhaps some old monsters will be alarmed.”
He hesitated.
I still choose to go to Zhenwu Mountain.
This matter is far from over.
He wanted to warn the Zhenwu Sect not to go too far with the Wenjian Pavilion, as many eyes would be on them and they should be careful to avoid leaving any evidence behind. Sometimes, killing everyone was not a good thing.
but.
Luo Wentian obviously had no intention of killing them all, as he would not do such an evil thing as wiping out an entire family.
All we need to do is make sure that Wenjian Pavilion no longer poses a threat from now on.
After friendly negotiations with Tang Qiu.
Wenjian Pavilion finally agreed to the following conditions.
First, the Sword-Wen Pavilion has been closed for two hundred years and no one is allowed to come out.
Second, the inherited sword tower will be donated to the Zhenwu Sect free of charge.
Third, make a copy of all the sect’s martial arts, classics, etc. and send them to the Zhenwu Sect.
Fourth, compensation for a number of treasures such as elixirs, precious materials, swords, etc.
Tang Qiu staggered, not knowing how he got back to the Sword Questioning Pavilion.
When these conditions are stated.
Some people were furious.
"We fought them!"
But Tang Qiu's words calmed them down:
"And then be slaughtered like pigs and dogs by Tianjian Zhenren? Agree to these conditions and survive two hundred years. There is still hope for Wenjian Pavilion."
Everyone felt regret in their hearts.
One wrong step, all wrong.
He should never have coveted the Zhenwu Sword Monument, and now he is even giving away his own inherited sword tower.
Everyone gritted their teeth.
At a certain moment, the only two remaining people in the Heavenly Man Realm actually hoped that the Zhenwu Sect would be more cruel and kill all of the Wenjian Pavilion. In this way, after they escaped far away and hid in the dark, they could retaliate against the Zhenwu Sect without restraint.
But now.
Keeping the Wenjian Pavilion is their weak point.
To attack the Zhenwu sect? I dare not.
"When will they come to move the sword tower?" An elder in the Heavenly Realm sighed softly.
Tang Qiu didn't dare to look into their eyes, but whispered:
"They asked you two to deliver it in person."
Another old man vomited blood and fell to the ground.
"This is too much!"
The Sword Questioning Pavilion was in chaos, and a feeling of powerlessness filled everyone's body.
That night.
Someone vaguely saw two celestial beings dragging a sword tower hundreds of feet long and speeding through the night.
