Wen Jing said, "This sounds incredible. Please be patient, brothers. Let me explain to you what happened over the past ten years."

Jun Yanzhi had stopped crying a long time ago. He stood quietly aside, returning to his usual calm and peaceful appearance.

Wen Jing said, "When Jun's family was destroyed, it was not because he went crazy, but because someone, for some unknown purpose, brought a group of demon cultivators to Hengyang Palace and deliberately destroyed his family. This person not only put the blame on Jun, but also deliberately made Jun misunderstand that his master was the mastermind. Everything Jun did after he grew up was to kill his enemies and avenge them, not to deliberately harm the world. He almost fell into that person's trap and killed his master as well."

Liu Qianmo frowned slightly.

Wen Jing continued, "Master and Senior Brother Jun devised a plan to catch that person, so we came back. We investigated along the way and roughly determined that this person was in the Qingxu Sword Sect. In addition, we also discovered something strange about Sect Master Xi."

He Ling asked, "What is it?"

This matter was related to Duan Xuan's past, and Wen Jing couldn't say too much. He covered up what happened to Duan Xuan and talked about what Xi Fang saw in the cemetery.

He said with a stiff face, "In short, Sect Master Xi has a deep brotherly relationship with Grandmaster Lu, and Master has a deep master-disciple relationship with Grandmaster Lu, so this... Sect Master Xi may have framed Master."

This statement didn't make sense at all, but Liu Qianmo and He Ling had no difficulty understanding it. Liu Qianmo said thoughtfully, "The deep... uh... master-disciple relationship between Master and disciple can be traced, but the deep... uh... brotherly relationship between Master Xi is unexpected."

He Ling said calmly, "We have seen the real Master Lu."

Wen Jing blurted out, "Is he a handsome man?"

Liu Qianmo smiled and said, "He looks to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a gentle temperament. People feel close to him when they see him. He raised Master from the age of twelve." Wen Jing

felt a little envious, but then he came to his senses and nodded, "Master has been called away by Xi Fang for three days and has not returned. We are worried that something has happened to him."

He Ling frowned and said, "What are you going to do?"

"Save him. If you save him a moment later, Master will be in danger." Wen Jing pondered, "If Xi Fang did it on purpose, I'm afraid he discovered Master's relationship with Senior Brother Jun and wanted to take this opportunity to lure Senior Brother Jun over and kill them together."

He Ling said, "Do you have a way to deal with the Immortal Execution Tower?"

"The Immortal Execution Tower is not difficult to deal with. At most, I can go in again--"

Jun Yanzhi immediately grabbed his hand: "You dare."

"I'm just talking..." Wen Jing said humbly, "How dare I leave you alone outside?"

This was said from the heart. He didn't consider himself or Jun Yanzhi, but also those miserable senior brothers who had almost no way to survive. In order to let the senior brothers live a stable life, he could never abandon Jun Yanzhi casually again.

Wen Jing said to himself, "It's not impossible to avoid that tower, but we need help..." He thought for a moment, and said to Liu Qianmo, "Senior Brother, Senior Brother Jun, Second Brother and I will go to Yurong Peak to rescue Master first. Can you take the other brothers to do something?"

"What is it?"

Wen Jing lowered his head and gave a few instructions, then emphasized, "...You guys make a lot of noise, no matter how hard you try, until he is woken up. Do you understand?"

Liu Qianmo replied, "That's not difficult." Jun Yanzhi

nodded slightly, "This is the only way."

He Ling said coldly, "Since there is a way, let's go."

The brothers said goodbye in a hurry. Li Shu, Gu Jinping and others hadn't figured out what was going on, so they looked at the three people flying away without looking back, confused.

"Where are they going?"

Liu Qianmo did not have time to explain to them: "You all follow me, I will explain to you on the way!"

·

He Ling's cultivation was originally ranked first in Huishi Peak, but now he is more than 20 years behind Wen Jing. When flying, he can only barely catch up with the two and fall behind. He is a character who becomes more and more courageous with each setback. He does not feel suffocated when being surpassed by others, but instead feels a kind of lurking excitement. However, Duan Xuan's safety is unpredictable now, and it is not the time to think about these things.

The three of them stared straight ahead without saying a word, and their expressions were a little solemn.

Wen Jing did not dare to look around, and lowered his head and whispered: "Senior brother, this is indeed a trap, there are ambushes all around here..."

"Well, don't worry about them, there is nothing to be afraid of." Jun Yanzhi replied with voice transmission.

Finally, they landed lightly on the vast open space in front of the hall.

It rained a little in the morning, drizzling and cold, and the morning mist had not yet dissipated.

There was a light mist on the hillside, and the clouds were swirling and moving under my feet, as if I was not in the mortal world, but in the fairyland. Looking from afar, the bronze statue of Qingxuzi, which was dozens of feet tall, was looming in the smoke, and the giant python beside him would occasionally reveal its majestic figure, making people feel insignificant.

In the light smoke, a man in a dark blue Taoist robe was crouching on the wall engraved with the heads of successive generations and carefully stroking it. Slowly, the man's deep and rich voice came.

“The second generation leader, Taoist Kurumu, died at the age of 1,500, in the middle stage of Yuanying… During its heyday, he had 2,800 disciples, 14 Jindan monks, and 800 foundation-building monks, ranking first among the five major cultivation sects in Zhufeng Country.”

“The third generation leader, Taoist Wuqing, died at the age of 1,100, in the early stage of Yuanying… During its heyday, he had 2,100 disciples, 10 Jindan monks, and 600 foundation-building monks, ranking first among the five major cultivation sects in Zhufeng Country.”

“The fourth generation leader, Taoist Qiuye, died at the age of 530, in the late stage of Jindan… During its heyday, he had 1,800 disciples, 7 Jindan monks, and 500 foundation-building monks, ranking first among the five major cultivation sects in Zhufeng Country.”

"The fifth generation leader, Taoist Changyan, died at the age of 560, in the late Jindan stage... During its heyday, it had 1,500 disciples, 6 Jindan cultivators, and 400 foundation-building cultivators. Among the five major cultivation sects in Zhufeng Country, it was second only to Shuiyue Palace."

"The sixth generation sect leader..."

Jun Yanzhi continued in an emotionless voice: "...Xi Fang, in the heyday, the sect had 1,300 disciples, including five Jindan cultivators and 300 foundation-building cultivators among the sixteen peaks. Among the five major sects in Zhufeng Country, it was second only to Shuiyue Palace and Hengtian Sect."

He made a summary lightly: "The sect leader is right to be worried, the Qingxu Sword Sect has already declined."

Xi Fang did not answer, but turned slowly and looked at them: "What are you doing here?"

As he spoke, his eyes swept across Wen Jing, and suddenly he looked at him more as if he had not expected it, but he did not show any panic expression, and looked at Jun Yanzhi steadily.

With a powerful enemy in front of us, there is no room for any confusion.

Jun Yanzhi said respectfully: "Our master was summoned by the sect master to Yurong Peak to discuss matters. Unfortunately, the eldest senior brother has some difficult matters that he cannot handle, so he wants to ask the master to go back."

Xi Fang looked at him: "You have already been expelled from the Sword Sect."

Jun Yanzhi smiled and said: "I know that the sect master has also issued a wanted order. But once a teacher, always a father, and today I must call the master back. Sect master, do you know that even if I am framed and confused for a while and become enemies, I will eventually wake up and understand who is innocent and who is guilty. Death."

Xi Fang pondered for a moment: "Different standpoints naturally lead to different ideas. If you want to accomplish great things, you must make some sacrifices."

Jun Yanzhi smiled: "That's right, the necessary sacrifice is me... and my father, mother, sister, and more than 400 people in Hengyang Palace, all of these are necessary sacrifices."

Xi Fang spoke slowly: "Jun Yanzhi, for thousands of years, no one in Hengyang Palace can inherit the "Five Elements Return to Origin Sword Technique". With your qualifications, even if you inherit that sword technique, you can't practice it."

"So, everyone in Hengyang Palace deserves to die?"

Xi Fang said, "The Five Elements Return to Origin Sword Technique and the Hundred Herbs Thousand Souls Technique originally belonged to our Qingxu Sword Sect."

"Since it is the Sword Sect's inheritance, why is the sect master helpless and has to rely on me to find it?" Jun Yanzhi smiled again, "When the Hundred Herbs Thousand Souls Technique was inherited by me, the sect master was in such a bad mood. I didn't understand what had happened at the time. Later I realized that he didn't want me to accept the inheritance."

Wen Jing whispered to He Ling, "The people in ambush are getting closer."

"Yeah." He Ling's eyes were cold.

Xi Fang whispered, "It won't be a big deal if the inheritance is in your hands."

Jun Yanzhi smiled slightly, "Once I die, the Five Elements Returning to Origin Sword Technique and the Hundred Herbs Thousand Souls Technique will fall into your hands. I will use my trick on you, and you will use your trick on me."

As he spoke, a dozen figures flew rapidly from a distance, as fast as ghosts, and fell around Jun Yanzhi and others. Wen Jing didn't turn his head, and from the spiritual pressure on them, he knew that these were Zhu Jin, Lu Changqing and others who had arrived. They were more than ten feet away, but they only surrounded them and stood still.

The spiritual energy of countless people around them surged and approached, landing on the top of Linfeng, and faintly visible moving heads.

Wen Jing and others stopped talking, and looked at Xi Fang calmly. He was extremely nervous at the moment, but he couldn't show it on the surface, just like Zhuge Liang's empty city plan, sweating anxiously, but still had to look relaxed.

He Ling always had no expression, Jun Yanzhi was even more calm, and Wen Jing was the weakest of the three in hiding his emotions.

Xi Fang said: "Jun Yanzhi, you have tortured disciples from various sects in recent years, and your crimes are heinous and unforgivable. Duan Xuan has been tolerant of you for three years and is an enemy of the Sword Sect. We can't continue to tolerate..."

Wen Jing saw a black tower rising in the air, and suddenly became anxious, pushing Jun Yanzhi beside him: "Hurry up!"

As soon as he said that, the black giant tower hovered above Jun Yanzhi, emitting thousands of golden rays of light.

Wen Jing saw that it was too late, so he pulled out the Suxin Sword with one hand, and a flaming sword light suddenly shot up into the sky!

Everyone was caught off guard, and they were immediately surrounded by heat waves. The scorching flames instantly spread throughout the square, and the bronze statue of Qingxuzi was reflected in red, and the murderous aura was overwhelming!

Everyone shouted in panic.

"What's going on?"

"What kind of swordsmanship is this?"

"What is this flame?"

Wen Jing himself was also confused.

He practiced swordsmanship in the tower for three years, and only competed with that small flame. He didn't think he was that powerful. He didn't expect that once the sword moves were released, it could send out tongues of fire for hundreds of miles, with the ability to destroy the sky and the earth. Unfortunately, his current cultivation level was too low, and he could not support it for long. In the blink of an eye, the flames in the square quickly receded, leaving only a burning smell around. Xi

Fang slowly floated down from the sky, holding the Immortal Extermination Tower in his hand. The hem of his clothes was burned black, and his face was blue and white. This was the first time he looked at Wen Jing directly: "The Five Elements Return to Origin Sword Technique is with you."

Wen Jing sneered: "Thanks to the Immortal Extermination Tower of the Sect Master, if I hadn't accidentally entered there to practice, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to practice this inheritance."

The rest of the people also floated down from the sky, some were burned with blisters, and some were seriously burned with skin rotten, and they were all a little scared. Their cultivation has reached at least the late stage of foundation building, and some are still in the golden elixir stage. Ordinary fire and innate fire have no effect on them, so what is this fire?

Lu Changqing was a little bit unbelieving: "There is Samadhi True Fire on your sword."

"What sword?"

"Where did you steal it?"

Wen Jing was a little angry and said coldly: "I didn't steal it. This sword was given to me by the ancestor Qingxu in the illusion."

"Nonsense, how could the ancestor Qingxu give the sword to a little-known person like you?"

"Tell the truth!"

Wen Jing laughed instead of getting angry: "You are right. Why didn't he give the sword to you but only to me? The ancestor told me disheartenedly that although there are many disciples in the Sword Sect, the one who can take on the great responsibility has not yet been born, so he had to let me, the most useless disciple, inherit the sword. He gave me the "Five Elements Return to Origin Sword Method" so that I can learn the true teachings and show you, a bunch of useless good-for-nothings, how to carry forward the Sword Sect!"

Wen Jing raised the sword: "If one of you can distinguish right from wrong, the ancestor would not have given the sword to me!"

The fire in the sword flowed, and the sound of clanging could be heard faintly, which was very exciting.

For a moment, everyone was somewhat suppressed by the sword, and no one dared to speak.

Li Qingyun said slowly: "The Suxin Sword is also known as the Five Elements Sword. It has the five attributes of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Legend has it that it can change color according to the attributes of the sword moves. It disappeared with the Qingxu Patriarch..." Lu Zhangqing

said bitterly: "How did it fall into his hands?"

Shao Jun said: "What about the "Five Elements Guiyuan Sword Technique"? Isn't that the inheritance of Hengyang Palace?"

Wen Jing sneered: "Hengyang Palace originally came from the sword Zong Yiyuan, for thousands of years, people have changed their names to avoid disaster. People live peacefully, and you kill their entire family of more than 400 people for no reason. What's the big deal? "

Shao Jun said: "What nonsense are you talking about? The one who destroyed Hengyang Palace was Jun Yanzhi standing next to you."

Wen Jing was very excited at this moment, and the Suxin Sword seemed to sense his mood. The sword edge rose and rushed straight to the sky, reaching more than ten feet long.

He slowly said: "Jun Yanzhi has never killed his family. In order to snatch the "Five Elements Guiyuan Sword Method", someone led people to destroy Hengyang Palace and sealed his memory, making him think that he was the culprit who went crazy and killed his family!"

Several people were shocked.

Lu Changqing said, "Nonsense, how many people has Jun Yanzhi killed over the years, and you are still making excuses for him?"

"Not nonsense! This man, he now has half a set of "Five..."

Halfway through the words, someone's hand trembled, and when everyone couldn't see anything clearly, a sword energy came towards Wen Jing. Although his swordsmanship was powerful, his cultivation was still low after all, and he couldn't dodge in a panic. Suddenly, the world spun around, and a person beside him held him and rolled several times in the air, and then gently fell to the ground.

Wen Jing looked closely and saw that Jun Yanzhi's shoulder had been cut by the sword energy, and his green clothes were stained with blood. His eyelashes trembled, and he stared at Xi Fang without any expression, and said slowly: "Xi Fang, you have harmed my senior brother several times, and I can't coexist with you."

Xi Fang didn't say anything, and his fingers loosened, and the Immortal Tower flew into the air again.

Wen Jing thought that something was wrong, and pushed Jun Yanzhi and said: "Don't worry, I will be out in a while."

With a swing of the Suxin sword, the sword energy was about to fall on the black tower again!

Jun Yanzhi said hatefully: "You dare!"

At this time, a long dragon roar suddenly came from the distance, and a green light flew straight towards the sword energy, hit it heavily, and the light spread out for several feet! Suddenly, the sound of the collision was deafening and endless. The disciples with low cultivation around covered their ears again, squatting on the ground with a headache and unable to stand up, feeling very aggrieved.

An old man with long beard and crane hair slowly floated down in front of the crowd. His face was ruddy, he was thin and vigorous, like an immortal, and merged with the green light.

Xi Fang, Lu Changqing and others were stunned and bowed, saying, "Elder Yunxi!"

The Immortal Pagoda immediately spun and fell to the ground. Elder Yunxi glanced at it, and the black pagoda slowly flew up and landed in his hand without moving.

Xi Fang said respectfully, "Elder, you have been in seclusion for more than a hundred years. Why did you come out today?"

Elder Yunxi's eyes lightly swept over the sword in Wen Jing's hand, and immediately raised his head to look at his destroyed face. His eyebrows trembled slightly, and after a long time, he said, "It was you just now. You said that the Qingxu Patriarch gave you the sword and ordered you to take charge of the Sword Sect?"

Wen Jing suddenly didn't know what to say. He had just said it in anger, taking the opportunity to scold this group of peak masters who could not distinguish right from wrong, which was simply nonsense. Now he could not go back on his words, so he had to say: "That's right."

Elder Yunxi said: "Practice the "Five Elements Return to Origin Sword Technique" you just performed for me."
