Absolutely, absolutely must succeed! Zhizhi is now preparing the formation at Ayue's place. It will definitely be successful. After all, Zhizhi is so cute, right? Right! ! ! Liu Yuan smiled at Ye Ci Ke. On the surface, he looked as calm as an old dog, but inside he was extremely panicked. - The scene of the "Watching the Tide and Listening to the Sword" conference. On the Sword Ming Platform were the Sword Pavilion Master "Bingjun Jianfu" Zuo Youhuai, the Sword Pavilion's three elders, the three nine-star swordsmiths currently remaining in the Sword Pavilion, and the Wanjian City Lord Duan Lanruo. In addition, there was Qinglian Sword Master Shen Sifan who was invited to serve as a judge for the Mingjian Competition, and the Heart Sword Sect's chief disciple Cui Ting. Duan Lanruo couldn't help but glance sideways at Shen Sifan, but Qinglian Jianzi showed no sadness or joy on his face. When he noticed her gaze, he looked back and revealed a polite smile. Duan Lanruo's eyelids twitched, but before she could figure out anything from this smile, Shen Sifan restrained his expression and just stood there quietly.
Her green skirt was as beautiful as a lotus, attracting many people's attention. They were full of admiration for this Qinglian Swordsman from Taiqing Pavilion. All these people of noble status sat on the armchairs in front of the giant sword, overlooking the scene below. The outermost area was filled with cultivators who were watching. The crowds were crowded, looking forward to what was happening, and there were also some noisy whispers. After the Sword Pavilion Master Zuo Youhuai coughed, the scene became a little quieter. The scene was roughly the same as the opening ceremony that primary and secondary school students across the country experience today. The atmosphere was serious, lively and very appropriate. Below were rows of swordsmiths, all equipped with their own tools, wearing the unique robes of the Sword Pavilion, and with an armband with the word "sword" on it. Obviously, the artist of the game "Shangyang" has the feeling of the Chinese Cooking Master Boy. They don't look like they are here to forge iron, but a group of people who come to cook. It takes ten years to sharpen a sword; when it becomes a sword, it will scare gods and ghosts. All the swordsmiths in the Sword Pavilion are in high spirits and have determined eyes, just waiting for this "Watching the Tide and Listening to the Sword" conference to show their swordsmithing skills to their fellow disciples and to display the peerless swords they have forged to the world. Geng Qi was naturally among them. He couldn't help but feel excited and nervous, and his face turned red. He had seen a lot in the Sword Pavilion in the past few days. Although he was confident in his sword-making ability, he was also amazed by the Sword Pavilion's thousands of years of heritage and the excellence of the disciples, and couldn't help feeling a little worried. Moreover, some disciples in Jiange deliberately mentioned in front of him the powerful figures in previous conferences, as well as some of the top participants this year. For example, the Pavilion Master’s direct disciple, Mo Ying. His nickname to outsiders was "Sword Heart Free". He became famous at a young age and forged a "Changge Sword" at an early age. Zuo Youhuai evaluated him as an upper-middle-level swordsman of his year. For a teenager in his teens, this was already a high praise. Many people believe that Mo Ying will be the champion of this Guanchao Tingjian Competition. This caused Geng Qi to always feel vaguely timid, and having lived in seclusion with his master since he was a child, he had never seen such a large scene with so many people that just standing in the crowd would make him feel a little suffocated, not to mention being watched by so many people. His clenched fists were wet with sweat. On the Mingjian stage. "The heaven and earth sent out murderous intentions to help me become a sword. Once I am bathed in blood and sing, I will live up to the will of dragons and snakes!"
As Zuo Youhuai slowly recited the insights left by the first master of the Sword Pavilion, he stretched out his finger and flicked the Lake Light Sword lying across his knee. "Om-" The sound grew from small to large and instantly became a huge sound. "Shh!" The sound of the sword instantly resounded throughout a thousand miles, and the arc-shaped air wave instantly spread out, lifting the corners of everyone's clothes. Those who were close, or those with weaker cultivation, exclaimed in surprise and could not help but take several steps back. Then when he looked up, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide. "what is that?!!!" "Boom!!!" Like thunder exploding. The chains between the cliffs rattled and danced wildly in the wind. Behind the giant sword of Mingjiantai, the rushing water of the Bailong River was actually cut in half by a line! "Wow!" The river water seemed to solidify, stagnating like a cross-section of the waves, and then it resumed its flow, colliding together again and merging into the river current. The sword rings, the water is cut off! The shock of the sudden interruption of the flow of electricity was so great that everyone's expressions were stunned. Zuo Youhuai handed the sword to the sword-holding servant as an exhibit of this conference. It was a display and also a warning. The sound of the sword, the best sword in the world. This heralds the official start of the "Watching the Tide and Listening to the Sword" conference. Chapter 146: Another lost lamb needs salvation from the Holy Church The grace of the world's number one sword shocked everyone present, whether they were cultivators or swordsmiths. Those low-level cultivators who came simply to watch the fun exclaimed that the one spirit stone entrance fee was worth it! Some people who were interested had solemn expressions on their faces as they looked at Zuo Youhuai who was standing on the Mingjian stage with his eyes closed, as if nothing had happened. The sword that was not considered a sword was not a difficult task for him. He can use this sword, and he can also use the second and third sword. Before watching the tide and listening to the sword, he warned all those with ill intentions that he, Zuo Youhuai, was in charge here. Previously, many people speculated that it was time to replace the current leader of Jiange. But this plain-looking, haggard old man is far from being as weak as he looks, like a dying person. His spirit was not exhausted, and even remained. In fact, only when you are far away can you truly feel the power of this sword. Liu Yuan, who was in the City Lord's Mansion, could clearly see a straight line of white light between heaven and earth, which instantly cut through the clouds and wind, as if the gate of heaven was broken. The sound of the river water even stopped at this moment, which was completely the posture of a top-level swordsman, not a swordsmith.
In fact, "Bingjun Jianfu" Zuo Youhuai was not only a nine-star swordsmith, but also one of the famous sword practitioners in those days. What's more important is the blessing of the Lake Light Sword in his hand, the power of the world's number one sword, the [City Destroying] effect. This piece of equipment is also famous in the game, but no player at that time had gotten it. After all, this thing is already a symbolic item in the Sword Pavilion. If you want to obtain it, you must first enter the secret realm of the Sword Pavilion, "Canghai Sword Tomb", and gain the recognition of more than ten sword spirits, followed by the recognition of more than half of the people inside the Sword Pavilion. But before that, you must be qualified to be recognized by the Sword Pavilion as someone who can fight for the ownership of the Lake Light Sword. Strength and even reputation are indispensable. In addition to the Lake Light Sword, there is also a ranking of the "Top Ten Famous Swords in the World" announced by Qingxie Fang. Yes, this organization not only plays with money, but also plays with public opinion. Many of the various ranking lists that are circulated privately are produced and then disseminated by Qingfengfang. The person who sorted out the arrangement was the previously mentioned male NPC [Know-it-all·Crazy Talk about His Own Body and Soul] Li Jinbei, who had maxed out Liu Yuan's favorability. Once this guy appeared, there was basically no objection. Although there were various clues later pointing out that Qingfengfang actually mixed in its own ideas and used the name of Bai Xiaosheng to publish some untrue rankings. As for the ten most famous swords in the world, there are actually only a few that are most widely known. The Hu Guang Sword is one, and the Qian Ling Sword, which is known as the most beautiful weapon, is also one. The Xuan Shu sword worn by the head of the Yu Xu Sect is one, the Luo Sheng Du Tian Sword, the treasured sword of the Demon Sect, is one, and the Sword Flute Ku Hai that belongs to the love monk is also one. Compared with them, the rest pale in comparison. "Zuo Youhuai's strength is much stronger than I imagined. But at least this sword, although it can cut off the Bailong River, cannot cut off the power generated by the collision of the melting snow tide on Yuxue Mountain and the countercurrent tide in a few days." Among the crowd, Shao Cao analyzed the plan calmly in his mind and still felt that the feasibility of the plan was still very high. "Damn it. Now it's mainly because of Qinglian Jianzi's sword that the entire Wanjian City is on alert, looking for people from the Demon Sect. As long as they are caught, there will be no leniency. Phew, many disciples of the Holy Sect have been exposed." Shao Cao was a little annoyed. If it weren't for this, the plan would have gone much more smoothly and would not have been delayed like it was now. If you make a fool of yourself in front of the Holy Envoy, it won't be as simple as mission failure. You may suffer unimaginable torture. The undercover agent of the Demon Cult felt somewhat uneasy. But fortunately, some of them are undercover inside Jiange, with a very high safety factor, and they will definitely not be discovered. "Brother Shao, it's hard to move around in this city. In the next few days, Wanjian City will prohibit residents from flying with swords. I'm afraid it's not very convenient..." Next to him, another undercover agent was named Lu Gong. He had a square face, angular features and a stern expression. He looked like a decent person, but in fact he was frowning and secretly talking about the plan not going well. Wanjian City is now under martial law, and the origins of all personnel are being searched. If anyone is found to be suspicious, they will be tied up immediately. I would rather kill a hundred people by mistake than let one go. The days of being undercover were extremely difficult for both of them. Shao Cao opened his fan and pretended that he didn't care too much and said, "There's nothing we can do. After all, this is Wanjian City, right? There are strict rules and regulations, and only then can there be a harmonious order." What this means is to keep your troops in place, follow his command, and not act rashly. Lu Gong nodded and said, "That's right. If someone wants to jump out and show up, we must deal with it in time. This is what a city lord would do. Wanjian City is worthy of its reputation." Shao Cao nodded and looked up at the Mingjian platform. The swordsmiths began to burn incense and pray, and the competition will officially begin tomorrow.
Shao Cao fanned the folding fan in his hand and squinted his eyes to see who was suitable to be the next level of servant. It doesn't matter if there are fewer people...those useless people who are more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything should be cleared out. What they need is a subordinate who can help them. His gaze swept across the faces of the swordsmiths and finally stopped on a figure that did not fit in with the people around him. Huh? Isn’t that the mortal swordsmith in the rumors? It seems that he is a little shaken... He looks very nervous and a little inferior, not knowing what to do. It seems that no one told him that there is a process of burning incense and praying on the Mingjian Stage. He was not accepted within Jiange, and the experienced undercover agent of the Demon Cult immediately noticed this. How pitiful! But the Holy Church saved him! Shao Cao's eyes were full of compassion. He knew that there was another lost lamb who needed the salvation of the Holy Church. - Zuo Youhuai looked at the people below and naturally saw Geng Qi's embarrassment. There are still some voices in the Sword Pavilion who believe that a mortal is not qualified to inherit the qualification of a nine-star swordsmith. But this is also part of the test. He admired Geng Qi very much, but he noticed his inferiority and timidity. When setting out on the Shu Road that day, Geng Qi was extremely frightened. This is a reflection of a person's nature, and the role of the Shu Road is to reflect all of this. After the ceremony was over, Zuo Youhuai returned to Jiange. As soon as he stepped into his own room, he heard the voice of a sword-holding servant. "Master, the visiting card to the saint was rejected." - When the Watching the Tide and Listening to the Sword Conference was in full swing. Xue Wei, the young man who set out from Shuiyuewu in Jiang State and headed all the way to the Demon Cult's stronghold. Finally, after about ten days, they entered the branch of the Demon Cult. Chapter 147: The Birth of a Great Demon Xue Wei's journey to find the Demon Cult was not smooth. Although he had been used by the righteous people and turned into a tool by the Demon Cult, the Demon Cult was very cautious about accepting real members. After all, if I can place an undercover agent in your place, you may also be able to place an undercover agent in my place. We are all traitors, who can look down on whom? The members of the Demon Cult were the first to doubt his identity and motives. The people in the Demon Cult's branch didn't bother to observe him and wanted to capture him and torture him directly. However, not only was Xue Wei not caught, he also used his lightning-absorbing physique to kill many people in the branch.
As the conflict intensified, Xue Wei discovered that this branch altar was actually built on top of an "Eye of Wind and Thunder". According to the records in "The Art of Thunder", this is one of the most suitable terrains for cultivation. In addition, it is located in the mountains and is covered with dark clouds all year round, with frequent lightning and thunder. Perhaps it was to pursue that very conspicuous sound and light effect to create the scene of a standard base of a villain cult. Wait until someone arrives and take a look.
