"The people chasing you are also from the Jishang Sect?"

After a moment of silence, Gao Han spoke to them.

Lan Yu didn't expect that he could guess it. He was surprised for a moment and then admitted it.

"They are from the lineage of the sect master. They are all assassins secretly trained by the Supreme Sect. To be honest, our Lan family has been identified as the Supreme Sect. How did Master Gao see that?"

"Seeing me, they actually abandoned you and came directly to kill me. Apart from the Supreme Sect, I can't think of any other forces."

The only one who had a deep hatred for him was the Jishang Sect.

Lan Yu didn't expect this to be the reason. He smiled bitterly and said, "This is actually related to the Eight God Swords."

Gao Han hummed and motioned for him to continue.

"The reason why the Sect Master has been so obsessed with the complete Eight Divine Swords over the years has a lot to do with the Eighth Sword."

Gao Han's expression slightly changed, "My master and uncle once said that the eighth sword of the Eight Divine Swords is to exchange life for life."

Lan Yu said helplessly: "What they said is correct. The eighth sword of the Eight Divine Swords is indeed a life for a life. This life for a life is not the same level for the same level, but the life of the weak for the life of the strong. It is a form of forced sacrifice."

Gao Han's eyes sparkled, "So, Elder Yagami had actually deduced the eighth sword back then?"

Lan Yu shook his head and said, "The ancestor did deduce it, but he just didn't materialize it, and didn't tell the people in the sect. The ancestor never said it, so the people in the sect and the outside world thought that the ancestor couldn't deduce the eighth sword."

Lan Hai, who was standing by, also defended his ancestor, saying, "It's not that the ancestor couldn't deduce the eighth sword, but that the ancestor didn't want to deduce it, because the ancestor found that the eighth sword shouldn't exist in this world."

Gao Han suddenly remembered that Sect Leader Bai had once told them what Master Zixiao had said to him.

Among the complete Eight Divine Swords, the power of the eighth sword is dozens or even hundreds of times that of the seventh sword.

This huge difference in swordsmanship is illogical in itself, because a complete set of skills is based on a balanced system.

Every system has its own balance, and this balance cannot be changed in any way.

Just like a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, he may be able to use magic weapons or other props to unleash the power of the Foundation Establishment Stage, but he cannot go beyond the Foundation Establishment Stage and exert the power of the Golden Core Stage.

This is because the physical potential of cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage is limited. As long as the limit is exceeded, it will be impossible to achieve it.

"Mr. Gao may have figured it out. Strictly speaking, the eighth sword of the Eight Divine Swords can no longer be considered a sword technique in the Eight Divine Swords system. It should be considered an independent sword technique, and there is only one sword. The ancestor once said that this sword is the sword of death. When the sword is used, many people must die."

"Because it will take the life of the person who performs the operation?" Gao Han's eyes were slightly cold.

“More than one. The more powerful the knife is, the more strength is needed. Mr. Gao mentioned dozens or even hundreds of times the power. I don’t know how many people are needed, but I think a lot of people will die.” Lan Yu said.

"The Ji Shang Sect came up with this idea. What was their motive? Was it just to make the Ji Shang Sect surpass the Zi Xiao Sect and become the largest sect in the Ling Tian Continent?" Gao Han didn't think that the Ji Shang Sect only had this idea, or that they were hiding some unknown secrets.

"During the battle in Tongshizhou, Jishang Sect knew that it was impossible to obtain the Eighth Blade, so they wanted to kill me. They were afraid that Zixiao Sect would learn the Eighth Blade, right?"

Lan Yu sighed and said, "Mr. Gao is really smart. You have already guessed some things I haven't even said yet."

Gao Han: "They acted too obviously. Now that we know the problem, it's not hard to guess. Then why did you betray Ji Shang Zong? Could it be that Ji Shang Zong forced you to deduce the eighth knife, or that they knew you already knew about it and wanted you to hand over the eighth knife?"

Lan Yu smiled bitterly. He knew Gao Han was smart, but he didn't expect that he was so smart that he guessed everything.

"Since our ancestors were unwilling to deduce the eighth sword and cause the lives of all the people on this continent to be destroyed, we naturally would not go against their ideas. However, we did not expect that they had gone too far and were determined to obtain the eighth sword at all costs, and actually did such a thing."

"Soul search?"

Lan Yu's eyes oozed a trace of pain. "Yes, the conversation between me and the elder of my clan was overheard by a junior. This junior was unaware of the matter and told others about it..."

As a result, of course, these words reached Chu Yujiang's ears.

Chu Yujiang was sure that they knew the Eighth Sword, so he did not reveal his true identity at first, but went to their house to persuade them earnestly.

Although the ancestor deduced the eighth sword, he never taught them, so no matter how Chu Yujiang persuaded them, they didn't know.

Later, Chu Yujiang stopped persuading them, but since then, people from the Lan family who were training outside have disappeared one after another.

Originally they did not believe that it was done by someone from the sect. They had no evidence, nor did they believe that the sect would be so cruel and ruthless, so Lan Yu decided to test Chu Yujiang.

An elder of the Lan family with more seniority volunteered to pretend to escape from the Jishang Sect. If this elder did not die, it would not be the sect's fault.

The result was a great disappointment to the Lan family. The Ji Shang Sect actually sent a powerful Mahayana master to hunt down the elder.

They heard the truth of the matter from the communication jade slip.

Those missing disciples and clan elders were all killed by the sect and their souls were searched.

In order to protect the Lan family, the elder deliberately made it appear that he was the only one who knew the truth and the other members of the Lan family were unaware, which was why he escaped alone.

In order to paralyze Chu Yujiang's vigilance, Lan Yu and his clansmen lived peacefully in the Jishang Sect for more than half a year.

It was not until Chu Yujiang relaxed his vigilance and his surveillance of their actions was not as intense as before that he fled with his people under the pretext of going to the demon battlefield for training.

However, they were discovered on the same day and were chased all the way. Fortunately, they were in the demon battlefield.

If they were in Lingtian Continent, given the power of Jishang Sect, they probably wouldn't have been able to escape for so long.

"Our ancestor is a true child of destiny. He rose to prominence after Senior Tian Dao. His swordsmanship was inferior to Senior Tian Dao's fame at the time, and no one after him could surpass him. Later, our ancestor wanted to create a swordsmanship that was more powerful than Senior Tian Dao's World-Destroying Mad Sword, and thus the Eight Divine Swords were created."

"Unfortunately, when the ancestor created the seventh of the Eight Divine Swords, he found that the seventh sword was still not as powerful as the World-Destroying Mad Sword, so he went astray, abandoned the original system, and finally deduced the eighth sword."

Lan Yu said bitterly, "I remember that the ancestor told us very happily at that time that he had deduced a sword technique that was more powerful than the World-Destroying Mad Blade. As long as this sword technique was revealed, the person who would talk about the strongest sword technique in the world would no longer be Tian Dao, but him. I was very happy for the ancestor at that time, but within two days, the ancestor suddenly came to us with a very unhappy face and asked me not to reveal the existence of the Eighth Blade to anyone, including the sect, and to only say that the Eighth Blade could not be deduced, or that only a little bit could be deduced, otherwise the Lan family would be in great danger. I didn't quite understand at that time, and then the ancestor left the Ji Shang Sect. When we heard from him again, it was the news of his death."

"I remember that you were ordered to go to Zixiao Sect to ask for the eighth knife." Gao Han said.

"I have to agree. In fact, I never thought you had the complete Eighth Sword from the beginning. The ancestor didn't let us tell anyone about the Eighth Sword. He would never pass on the Eighth Sword." After a pause, he said, "Even if you really have it, it shouldn't be the sword that the ancestor deduced."

When Lan Yu said this, he kept staring at him, as if trying to see something from his face, but he was destined to be disappointed.

Gao Han didn't show it on his face, but he knew very well in his heart that he was right. The eighth sword technique he learned was not the one deduced by Elder Yashin.

The eighth sword is very powerful, but it is not as powerful as Uncle Zixiao said, dozens or even hundreds of times as powerful as the seventh sword.

Although he felt that they did not seem to be lying, he did not completely believe what they said.

Not long after they left, people sent by Dayan City, tracking Kurot and his group, also rushed to Luanshi City.

If they had not been deliberately led to other places by demons, which took some time, they would have arrived there long ago.

However, they were still a step too late. The building was empty and only traces of a fight were left.

"How could the Stone City become like this?" Everyone was stunned by the Stone City that had turned into ruins.

"Could it be that the demons have slaughtered the Stone City?"

They immediately rushed over to check, only to discover that among the dead there were not only some demons, but also many demons in human guise. The number was so large that it was very unusual.

Later they discovered that the entrances and exits of Luanshi City had been closed long ago, and the formations above were covered with dust, and it was obvious that no one had used it for a long time.

Therefore, it is speculated that the people in Luanshi City may have been assimilated by demons long ago. They thought that the people guarding Luanshi City were still from the Tata Mountains, but in fact they were all demons.

"It's very strange, how could all these demons die? Even several king-level demons died as well." Jiao Yongnian was very shocked.

King-level demons are not cabbages, especially those in the late king level or the great perfection king level, they are all candidates for the great king.

Demons usually don't let these people die easily, but he found that more than one died here.

"Peak Master, look here, there is a corpse of a powerful human in the fusion stage!" At this time, a disciple made a new discovery.

Jiao Yongnian immediately walked over, took off the mask of the human warrior, and found that it was a very unfamiliar face.

"Peak Master, some powerful human beings must have discovered something strange about Luanshi City and started a fight with the demons. Both sides may have perished together."

Jiao Yongnian checked carefully, then looked around and shook his head firmly: "No, this shouldn't be the case. They may have died at the hands of the same person. An unusual war must have broken out here."

Seeing the traces left at the scene, his mind raced, and he felt like he had missed something. Suddenly, he slapped his head.
