In the hermit world.
Steep mountains, as if carved by axes and knives, stand on the earth.
A solitary peak on the edge pierced the sky, like a forgotten ancient giant sword, splitting the thick clouds and poking a huge hole in the sky.
The main peak in the center is the most dangerous. It looks like a giant upside-down sword, with the tip pointing directly to the bottomless abyss below, and the hilt hidden above the sea of clouds.
This is the headquarters of the Tianyuan Sword Sect, the top force in the world of secluded cultivation.
Although the Tianyuan Sword Sect did not nominally become one of the top ten forces, with the strength of Sect Leader Huo Yuan and the rise of Huo Yi.
The Tianyuan Sword Sect has already become the top force in the minds of many people and is one of the most powerful new forces in this evaluation.
The top of the main peak is shrouded in transparent clouds and mist.
Huo Yuan stood there like a sword, as if waiting for something.
Wow! Wow! Wow!
Soon, figures flew in from all directions. They were all wearing the purple elder uniforms of the Tianyuan Sword Sect.
"How is it going? Have you found out about Tianyuan's whereabouts?"
Huo Yuan faced the abyss in front of him with his back to the elders.
Several elders suddenly looked embarrassed and looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
The Tianyuan Sword, the most precious treasure of their sect and the foundation of their sect, disappeared out of thin air under heavy guard.
Such a strange thing happened just now. They searched the Sword Sect again and again, but found no trace of the Tianyuan Sword.
Huo Yuan sighed deeply. The Tianyuan Sword was extremely important to them, but now it disappeared out of thin air. How could he not be depressed?
After losing the Tianyuan Sword, the intensity of the sword intent in this place immediately dropped significantly.
For them, the role of the Tianyuan Sword is not to improve their own combat power, but to greatly improve the cultivation of all disciples of the Tianyuan Sword Sect.
If the Tianyuan Sword was completely lost, then their Tianyuan Sword Sect would not be able to compete for a place in the top ten forces, and they would not even be able to maintain their current status.
At that time, the cultivation and sword realm of the disciples in the sect will be greatly affected, and the Tianyuan Sword Manual they practiced will not be able to sense the aura of the real Tianyuan Sword.
Then the progress of cultivation will be greatly affected.
"How could this happen? My Tianyuan Sword Sect hasn't offended any powerful enemies recently!" Huo Yuan was puzzled.
The elders behind him were even more confused, and their expressions were extremely ugly, as if the sky was about to fall.
"This matter must not be spread out, you are not allowed to mention it to anyone!"
Huo Yuan turned around and said with a very sharp look.
“It’s the Sect Master!”
These elders all knew that the matter was of great importance and might even affect the survival of the Sword Sect, so they would naturally keep their mouths shut.
"But... Sect Master, after losing the Tianyuan Sword, the sword energy here has declined so noticeably. I'm sure the disciples in the sect will be able to sense it very quickly. After all, truth will eventually come to light!"
An elder said with great sorrow.
The evaluation is about to begin. If the news of Tianyuan Sword Sect losing its sword gets out, it will definitely be the first major force to be kicked out.
"Tell all disciples in the sect not to approach the main peak."
After saying this, he suddenly stretched out a hand, and while practicing the Tianyuan Sword Technique, he began to use his own body to make up for the loss of the Tianyuan Sword's aura.
But this is too costly to oneself and is not a long-term solution.
"metropolitan!"
"metropolitan!"
When the elders saw this scene, they all felt a little bit sorry. Huo Yuan was now burning himself to restore the Tianyuan Sword Sect to its previous sword aura.
"No matter what, we must do our best to find the trace of the Tianyuan Sword. If we can't find it, how can you and I face the master!"
Huo Yuan's eyes turned red. The Tianyuan Sword Sect had been passed down for many generations. Although it was carried forward again by him, if he lost the Tianyuan Sword, he would still be the biggest sinner of the Sword Sect.
"Yes! Sect Master!"
The elders all knew that this matter was of great importance, so even if there was no clue at all, they would do their best to find it.
After all the elders left, Huo Yuan felt something and looked into the distance.
He saw two figures in the distance ignoring the Tianyuan Sword Sect's formation and heading straight towards him.
"Master, isn't it a bit too arrogant for us to come here with swords and blackmail you?" Li Xuan couldn't help but ask.
Gu Xianzhi chuckled and said, "Let me ask you, when you obtained this Tianyuan Sword, did you leave any handles or flaws?"
"No."
Li Xuan immediately shook his head. This was given to him directly by the lottery system, so how could there be any flaws?
"That's all, remember this. We obtained this by chance, and we're here to return the sword. The Tianyuan Sword Sect should thank us, so what's wrong with asking for some hard work fees?"
Gu Xianzhi said this with great righteousness.
At this moment, Huo Yuan was wearing a dark sword robe, his face as cold as ten thousand years of ice. He stood on the edge of the cliff with his hands behind his back, his robe rustling in the violent wind. Under the rustling robe was the majestic sword intent that was suppressed to the extreme.
This was his usual expression. After discovering that there were outsiders coming here, he immediately became alert and used the Tianyuan Sword Technique to the extreme.
Re-enhance the sword intent here.
But in fact, Gu Xianzhi and Li Xuan didn't know what it would be like if there was the Tianyuan Sword here, but Huo Yuan didn't dare to be arrogant at all.
His deep gaze was fixed on the two people opposite him, and his gaze was sharp enough to pierce through metal and stone, as if he wanted to see why they came.
Opposite him, Gu Xianzhi was stroking his beard leisurely with his signature lazy smile on his face, as if everything was under control.
In those seemingly cloudy old eyes, a cunning gleam like a fox would flash from time to time.
Li Xuan stood half a step behind him, holding a long and narrow ancient sword box made of neither gold nor jade.
The sword case was simple and unpretentious, its surface covered with mysterious cracks and lines. It was trembling slightly at this moment, as if a giant dragon about to break out of the abyss was imprisoned inside.
It seemed that because they had arrived at the Tianyuan Sword Sect, the Tianyuan Sword in the sword case became unusually active.
An indescribable aura of horror originating from the abyss itself was escaping from the cracks in the sword case.
As soon as this aura appeared, the entire Tianyuan Sword Sect territory seemed to "come alive"!
Now, there was no need for any further words, Huo Yuan instantly understood the purpose of the two people's visit.
"Old Ghost Gu!" Huo Yuan's voice was like the friction of ice, and every word contained a rage that could freeze the soul. "You...how dare you! Is the thing in this box...really...?!"
