One hundred and seventy miles east of Chen County, there is a hill.
This mountain is like spring all year round, with flowers everywhere. It is always lush and lush, regardless of whether it is cold or hot, spring or autumn.
The people in the surrounding counties and towns all know that this mountain is strange and the scenery is splendid. However, the Xie family of Chen County built a courtyard here thousands of years ago and surrounded the mountain as their hunting ground. The old and young men of the Xie family often visited Come to hunt, and then return to Chenjun with several carts of harvest.
Ordinary people think so.
In fact, this is the location of Tianyun Garden, an ancient ruin controlled by the Xie family.
After entering a cave in the mountain, you will find that there is a different cave. The space inside is obviously larger than this small mountain. There are also golden black auspicious clouds and spiritual mist clear streams, which nourish the Tianyun Garden with extremely fertile soil, which is most suitable for planting elixirs and precious materials. Even treasures from heaven, materials and earth, ancient alien species.
The earth spirit energy in it is even enough to escape to the outside world. This is the reason why this hill is like spring all year round.
The Xie family's territory is within a radius of ten miles around the hill. It is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and is heavily guarded. Although it is not far from the clan, there are at least two permanent masters and elders here.
It's just that on this day, no one has come in or out of the manor in the mountains outside Yunpu for a long time.
No matter whether it is overt or covert, anyone who leaves the outer mountains ten miles away, which is the traditional territory of the Xie family, will be "persuaded to return" by the mysterious person——
Those who listen to the advice are encouraged to return, and those who do not listen are beaten back.
Even two grandmasters were injured at the hands of the mysterious man.
It wasn't until Xie Bing came later that he found out that the mysterious man was Yuan Zhen, the enshrinement minister of Ouchi.
Yuan Zhen is a powerful practitioner from the royal family. She has been famous for decades and has already connected the twin bridges of heaven and earth.
Over the years, I have rarely done anything with anyone, so I don’t know their specific strength.
After the actual battle, everyone learned that Yuan Zhen's strength was similar to Xie Bingcha, and the advantages and disadvantages were not obvious.
If this was the case, Xie Bing could still explode and drive them away. However, Qiufeng Louzhu's fatal sneak attack instantly overturned the battle situation. Xie Bing could only manage to repel the two men and escape with his life.
Since then, the situation at Tianyunpu Waishan Manor has become even more difficult.
Yuan Zhen directly revealed her identity and was patrolling ten miles away from the outer mountain. He did not enter the Xie family's territory, but he also made it impossible for the people stationed in Tianyunpu to come out.
After all, the nature of directly attacking aristocratic family territory is different. Although this area is actually the Xie family's sphere of influence by default, Yuan Zhen only said that the whole world must be the royal land, and this manor should be owned by the imperial court inside and outside.
I just respect the Xie family for thousands of years and don't interfere with things ten miles outside the mountain. But now there is a major event that wants to seal off the mountain outside, so I "politely" imprison the Xie family members in Tianyunpu.
However, if this continues for a long time, no one is sure whether these people will directly enter Tianyun Garden.
The people of the Xie clan stationed in Tianyunpu became more and more burdened when they saw that their family had not come for help for a long time. The letters asking for help sent out by covert means ranged from one every two days, one every day to one every half a day, but they all seemed to sink into the sea.
If they knew that at this critical juncture in the clan, they were still actively conducting the election of the head of the family, they would probably curse.
It's like no one cares about them.
Until this day.
The two garrisoned masters looked through the window of the study room at Yuan Zhen who was rising again in the sky. They walked around the perimeter of Tianyun Garden as if inspecting the territory, and then smiled and nodded at them before falling down again. .
The two people looked solemn. Their strength was not weak, but there was still a gap between them and such top masters. Although Tianyun Garden is important, it is so close to the Xie clan. The two grandmasters already attach great importance to it, and they are not even the top masters. And there has never been a mistake in thousands of years. Who knows...
Although they rely on the formation to protect the village and the restriction of ruins, if the enemy really wants to attack, they can resist for a long time. But looking at the delay in the arrival of family reinforcements, if the enemy really comes, it will only be a matter of time before the place falls.
Seeing a shadow flying in the air and turning around quickly, like a demonstration, a powerful aura and cold murderous aura came directly towards the manor through the air, making the Xie family's children who had been trapped for a long time pale, and their morale dropped to the bottom. The Grandmaster felt that he could wait no longer.
"Just rush out! Rush back to the tribe to see what's going on. Is it possible that they haven't received the news at all? If you boil a frog in warm water like this, you will die sooner or later!"
A majestic man with a red face shouted, it was Xie Lin, one of the masters stationed at Tianyun Garden.
Another grandmaster, Xie Chen, shook his head and persuaded:
"If the medicinal materials have not been returned for so long, even if the message has not arrived, the family must know that something happened here. I think the family is also encountering some difficulties now, but they will definitely not give up on Tianyun Garden. Let's wait a little longer!"
"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer until this day Yunpu will no longer be named Xie!"
Schelling walked up and down with his hands behind his back.
Xie Chen sighed:
"But what can we do if we leave the manor? Xie Bingdu has already retreated. How can you and I be a match for the two guys outside? We can only rely on the formation in the manor to hold on."
"Hey!"
Xie Lin sighed heavily, full of confusion.
Why hasn’t the family responded yet?
Could it be that he was held back by other things?
But if this is the case... with so many tribesmen in Tianyunpu, and the entire Tianyunpu, what will they do when the enemy makes up their mind to attack?
"Wait, what is that!"
Suddenly, there was a sound of exclamation outside the door.
Xie Chen and Xie Lin looked at each other, a little puzzled, and hurried out to check.
But he saw a stream of light coming from the horizon quickly, like a meteor falling into the sky, with a very long and brilliant tail flame, and it came from the horizon in the blink of an eye.
It seemed to be a sword, and on the sword stood a man with fluttering clothes and sparse features?
The man's face was peaceful and very young, but his eyes were quite deep, and there was a sharpness in them, which contained the power to see into people's hearts.
He has a sassy demeanor, silver hair, and a young face. He has a very high level of cultivation and looks impressive, just like a real swordsman who steps on the sword.
It's just that this outfit always makes people wonder how could he have such black hair and frost at his age and strength?
The speed of the arrival was extremely fast. It seemed that just one moment it had attracted people's attention on the horizon, and the next moment it was already rushing to the mountains outside Tianyun Garden.
But in an instant, a red figure soared into the sky and stopped the Chuchen man who was approaching with his sword.
Yuan Zhen, who was fair-faced and beardless, with a kind face and a smile, revealed his figure. His whole body was burning with red blood, and he said warmly:
"Who is here? Why did you accidentally enter the royal hunting ground?"
Yuan Zhen always looked like a tiger with a smile on her face. Even when she injured Xie Chen and Xie Lin, she was gentle and smiling, but her attacks were not unreasonable at all.
However, although he was still smiling at this time, his eyes were extremely solemn and guarded.
The speed and momentum of the newcomer made it obvious that he was a master.
When Yuan Zhen came up to intercept him, he subconsciously activated his skills with all his strength, and then his whole body erupted like a flaming cloud, which was a manifestation of his blood energy being pushed to the extreme.
Looking at the man who looked equally peaceful, just a little closer, Yuan Zhen felt her whole body start to tingle, and she couldn't help but be shocked.
Even if he instinctively activates the technique, is he still captured by the opponent's aura, as if he has been penetrated?
He is so young, and although his face remains at a young age due to his cultivation, he is definitely around forty. Who is this person with such strength at this age?
He looked solemnly at the man opposite him, speculating on his origins.
He has been in the palace for a long time and has not been out of the mountains. He is also proud of the masters of the royal family, his eyes are too high, and he does not know the details of many current masters.
The white-haired man looked at Yuan Zhen and said lightly:
"Yunshan Sword Sect, Li Xingtuo."
"Li Xingtuo?"
Hearing this name, Yuan Zhen's pupils shrank slightly.
It turned out to be him? No wonder!
Yuan Zhen naturally knew about the master of the Sword Sect, who had become increasingly famous in recent years. I heard that his realm has advanced rapidly, and he has broken through the levels in a few years. Now he is at the top level below the grand master, similar to him.
Now that I see it, it is indeed well-deserved.
Yuan Zhen looked a little solemn, and then smiled:
"It turns out that it's Sect Master Li in person. I'm so glad to meet you! I'll enshrine Yuan Zhen in Xiada."
"Yuan worships."
Li Xingtuo cupped his hands, looked at Yuan Zhen faintly blocking his way, and said calmly:
"I don't know if Yuan Chongfeng is not in the palace, what is he doing here?"
Yuan Zhen laughed:
"The new emperor ascended the throne and wanted to open up hunting grounds. Didn't he send someone here to delineate the spiritual land and inspect it? I don't know why Sect Leader Li came here?"
Li Xingtuo did not answer, but glanced at the beautiful hills below and said:
"The hunting ground of Yuan's enshrinement circle couldn't be Tianyunpu, right?"
Yuan Zhen's complexion changed slightly and her smile faded:
"Of course not. It's just that the outside of Tianyun Garden is also a good place. I will circle it first to prevent others from desecrating the royal place.
"Sect Master Li, you have nothing to do with me here. If you are passing by, please come."
He turned slightly sideways, stretched out his hand, and politely asked Li Xingtuo to go first.
But from another direction.
Li Xingtuo just smiled:
"Yuan Chongfeng, what a coincidence, Li also came to Tianyun Garden today."
After hearing this, Yuan Zhen saw Li Xingtuo staring at her intently, her smile gradually faded and became expressionless:
"Sect Master Li, you have to think clearly about who I am here to represent. Do you really want to get involved in this muddy water?
"The Yunshan Sword Sect is gradually gaining momentum and is expected to squeeze into the four sects. I heard that Sect Master Li is also the Zhongxing Sect Master who is working hard to govern. If he offends the wrong people at this time, I am afraid that Sect Master Li's vision of a large sect will be in vain. ”
Li Xingtuo sighed slightly:
"Indeed, I didn't want to come originally. But after thinking about it..."
He looked at Yuan Zhen and chuckled:
"It doesn't matter if I offend you. Compared to you, that kid is worth betting on.
"Besides——
"When will our Yunshan Sword Sect allow our disciples to be bullied? When will we, holding a long sword, be afraid of being bullied by a strong man?"
Li Xingtuo held his head high and looked at Yuan Zhen with squinted eyes. An extremely tyrannical aura suddenly burst out from his body.
The young man who once brought chaos up and down Yunshan Mountain was now a swordsman master, and he was not one to be used to threats.
Yuan Zhen's face turned serious, she pulled out the golden knife from her waist and said coldly:
"Since you don't have to drink wine as a penalty for toasting, don't blame Yuan for being ruthless!"
The blood around him was steaming, and the golden sword was gradually dyed with a dazzling red light. The sky around him was like sunset, giving birth to a strange image.
Yuan Zhen looked at Li Xingtuo proudly and was about to take action when she suddenly saw a dark shadow suddenly appear in the air, standing diagonally behind Li Xingtuo.
Yuan Zhen stopped when she was about to move and frowned slightly:
"What's wrong?"
He didn't blame Qiufeng Louzhu for showing up directly, but he wondered why he suddenly interfered.
The misty voice of Qiu Feng Louzhu sounded:
"You are no match for him."
Yuan Zhen frowned for a moment and said coldly:
"How do you know if you haven't fought?"
Qiufeng Louzhu looked at the master who had been bossing around in the palace for a long time, fell silent for a moment, and said:
"I fought with him."
"I know that he is in your hometown with one person and one sword, as if he is in a deserted land."
Yuan Zhen said coldly:
"But I'm not you, and I'm not Yao Yuzhi."
He obviously didn't take fancy to the two Yao brothers.
The ever-changing face of Qiu Feng Louzhu, who could never be seen clearly, suddenly blurred for a while and seemed to be changing rapidly, and then slowly calmed down.
Once upon a time, a mere dog raised by the royal family, or at most a powerful dog, dared to be so disrespectful to the Yao family? Dare you call the head of the Yao family by his name?
However, the Yao family and the Qian family are now basically equivalent to belonging to the royal family. In terms of status, they are indeed not much different from Yuan Zhen. Even because he surrendered late and had a high status before, some of the worshipers in particular made him sarcastic.
The owner of Qiu Feng was silent for a long time and then said:
"You can't beat it."
Yuan Zhen's brows were raised. Although he often showed a smile to others, if anyone really thought that he was easy to talk to and that they could disobey him, the outcome would often not be good. The more smiling he is, the stingier he is.
But he suddenly paused and looked to the other side in surprise.
Behind Li Xingtuo, another person quietly rose up and stood in the air.
The person who came was wearing a scholar's shirt, with a clear and straight face, and a dignified and dignified manner.
"Sect Master Li, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you okay?"
The scribe bowed.
Li Xingtuo turned around, looked at the scribe, and smiled:
"It turns out that the person here is Elder Junlin. It seems that the Wang family really takes it seriously."
"Who doesn't value a place like Tianyunpu?"
Wang Junlin is very candid.
As the foreign affairs elder of the Wang family who is active outside, there is no doubt about his strength. Otherwise, how could he represent the thousand-year-old family?
Wang was relieved that he would sit behind the scenes and supervise the plan to seize Tianyunpu.
However, Ren Wang never thought about it, how could Li Xingtuo come over?
Wang Junlin looked very serious:
"Sect Master Li, our Langya Wang family and the Yunshan Sword Sect have always been in harmony with each other, and this matter has nothing to do with your sect. I wonder why Sect Leader Li came all the way from Yunzhou to come here?"
Li Xingtuo chuckled:
"When the road is rough, draw your sword to help."
Wang Junlin frowned:
"This is an internal matter within our family..."
"Oh?"
Li Xingtuo looked at Yuan Zhen and then at Qiufeng Host.
Wang Junlin shut his mouth. He knew that Li Xingtuo's reason was definitely not such a simple one.
Tianyunpu's influence is great. The Wang family often buys Tianyunpu's specialties from Xie's house, and they have been jealous for who knows how long.
Now it is hard to wait for the opportunity of the Xie family's weakening, and it is an extremely rare opportunity - to capture Tianyun Garden without causing further trouble, so the Wang family naturally attaches great importance to it.
The Wang family on the Cui family has other methods to restrain them. They were supposed to break through the formations and restrictions here in a day or two and quietly take control. They also heard that the Xie family was still busy with civil strife. The Wang family itself I thought I was done this time.
The Xie family is still making noise at this time, which is indeed a sign that the sun is declining.
The treasure belongs to those who are capable of it, and it is inconvenient for Tianyunpu and the others to get it.
Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Li Xingtuo suddenly arrived.
Wang Junlin recalled that there seemed to be rumors that Xie Yuan had some connection with the Yunshan Sword Sect, but they thought it was just a matter of learning one and a half moves. How could Li Xingtuo be willing to risk offending the Wang family and the royal family and travel thousands of miles to help? ?
He frowned and cupped his hands:
"Sect Master Li, this matter has nothing to do with the Yunshan Sword Sect. If you don't just retreat, don't interfere. In the future, Wang will definitely pay a visit to Yunshan with heavy gifts and will never treat your sect badly."
< br>
Li Xingtuo heard what Wang Junlin said, glanced at him, and suddenly smiled:
"Why do you family members always only talk about interests and not morality?"
Wang Junlin's eyes changed slightly and he said calmly:
"Sect Master Li, what do you mean?"
"No wonder the three families, who were in the same spirit before, immediately took advantage of the situation and moved in."
Li Xingtuo sighed:
"But acting like this is not for me.
"I will protect Tianyunpu for the Xie family. You can go on your own."
Yuan Zhen saw Li Xingtuo waving his hands calmly, as if to see off a guest, her expression changed drastically, and she said coldly:
"Li Xingtuo, can you afford the consequences?"
Li Xingtuo glanced at him sideways, as if staring at him coldly.
"Careful!"
Wang Junlin and Qiufeng Louzhu shouted at the same time.
Yuan Zhen didn't need to be reminded by them, she already felt an extremely sharp sword intent coming towards her.
His eyes shrank, wondering why Li Xingtuo seemed to have a sword approaching him even though he didn't move.
Yuan Zhen was about to meet the enemy, but was surprised to find that his movements were extremely slow. The sword intent was already close to his chest, but his hand had not been raised halfway.
"What...is going on?"
His thinking also seemed to become a little sluggish, and he seemed to be unresponsive.
When Wang Junlin and Qiufeng Louzhu saw this, they wanted to rescue him, but they suddenly became stiff.
They also felt the extremely sharp sword intent that seemed to be able to penetrate everything approaching from Li Xingtuo almost instantly.
In their eyes, Li Xingtuo moved his steps and handed each of them a sword like clouds and flowing water. The movements were so clear and smooth, everything was imprinted in their minds, just like the swords in the small martial arts school. Master Dharma's demonstration was clear but slow.
With their strength, they can break it at will.
However, Wang Junlin and Qiufeng Louzhu wanted to raise their hands, but found that their movements were even slower than Li Xingtuo's slow moves.
He could clearly see it, but he didn't move his hands or feet. He watched helplessly as the sword approached, but his movements were a beat slower.
"I'm so slow... No, he's too fast."
They waited until the sword was about to strike and finally thought about it.
Three sharp sword energy penetrated the sky and exploded in no particular order. It was like three Li Xingtuo appeared in the sky, with their sleeves and robes flying, and their postures different, and they drew their swords at the same time.
Yuan Zhen, Wang Junlin and Qiu Feng Louzhu were hit by swords at the same time. At the critical moment, some secret techniques were activated, or some protective treasures were shattered. Their bodies all lit up with brilliant light, reflecting the sky as if there were colorful clouds.
Violent fluctuations exploded in the sky, and the three escaping lights, red, black, and white, retreated rapidly in three directions.
The three Li Xingtuo retracted at the same time and stood on the same spot, returning to the same place, just like he had retracted his clone.
In fact, it is naturally impossible for this to be the Taoist magical power that transforms the three pure beings into one qi.
It's just that Li Xingtuo's Glitter Sword is too fast, reaching the ultimate speed in the world. For ordinary people, even these top masters, it is a matter of an instant. The afterimage flickers, as if many clones appeared in the sky, and finally returned to the original place. That’s all.
The number of people is actually meaningless to Li Xingtuo. No matter how many people surround them, he can deal with them one by one with the Glimpse of Light Sword. As long as one person cannot defeat him, the winner will be determined in an instant; if no one can defeat him, it will be an instant defeat.
Li Xingtuo stood in the sky, a large amount of white mist evaporated from his body, and the clouds were steaming and glowing, like an immortal in the sky. The consumption of such swordsmanship is naturally staggering. It took him half a move to do it, but he used three moves against three top masters, consuming a lot of energy in an instant.
But after a while, Li Xingtuo's expression remained as usual, without any change at all.
It seemed that he had crossed a thousand miles between Yunzhou and Yuzhou, and then defeated three top masters in an instant. For him, the consumption was just that.
Li Xingtuo looked at the black light that was escaping so fast. He moved his steps and wanted to catch up.
However, he thought about it and looked at Qiufeng Louzhu, who was even faster than the other two, he still sighed and shook his head.
I originally wanted to kill this murderous and evil killer today, but he ran too fast.
Although Li Xingtuo was sure of catching up with Qiufeng Louzhu, he would have to chase him thousands of miles away, which would delay the matter.
He turned his gaze to the manor in Tianyunpu, looked at Xie Chen and Xie Lin's shocked, admiring and grateful eyes, nodded and said:
"The siege here has been lifted, but..."
Li Xingtuo took out a piece of letter paper, looked at it, and curled his lips and said:
"Then boy asked...oh, your master asked you to stop writing letters for help for one day, and then go back with your belongings."
The little guy seems to be getting more and more cunning, and he has been trained to do so. I'm afraid it's not as easy to tease now as it was before.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
Li Xingtuo thought leisurely.
Xie Chen and Xie Lin looked at each other in confusion after hearing Li Xingtuo's words. They didn't know what they meant. Why was there a summons from the little family head?
But since Li Xingtuo had just lifted the siege, they naturally had no objection.
Wait until the next day.
The door of the Xie clan.
Xie Yuan and a group of elders waited quietly at the main entrance.
When the morning light faded, everyone saw the first medicine carriage emerging from the horizon, and they suddenly smiled with relief.
Carriages came one after another, and all the elixirs and precious materials that had been accumulated during this period were loaded into the cars and transported back to the clan. With so many medicines brought back at once, even if Tianyunpu is besieged again, it will be able to support the cultivation of the entire Xie family for a long time.
However, the elders only glanced at the carriage to confirm that the medicine had returned to the family, and then did not pay too much attention. Instead, they focused their attention on the white-haired man in front of the motorcade, showing a solemn expression.
"Sect Master Yunshan Sword Sect and Sect Master Li Xingtuo are here!"
When Li Xingtuo approached, someone from the concierge sang.
Xie Yuan took two steps quickly and gave Li Xingtuo a bow:
"Xie Yuan has met Sect Master Li. Sect Master Li has come from afar to invite you."
His actions and words were respectful and very appropriate. They seemed like the courtesy a young family head should have towards the powerful master who had just helped the family. There was no other meaning.
But if they met by chance, how could Li Xingtuo come all the way to help the Xie family?
And also offend the Wang family and the royal family?
Just pretend.
The elders of the Xie family are all human beings. They quietly watched Xie Yuan and Li Xingtuo greet each other politely, and secretly speculated about their origins.
However, although some people have heard about Xie Yuan's experience of studying in the Yunshan Sword Sect, the details are unknown.
Li Xingtuo looked at Xie Yuan's calm and respectful look, his eyes flashed slightly, and the deep smile disappeared.
"Thank you, Master, for being so polite."
He nodded slightly and followed Xie Yuan side by side into the Xie clan, while the elders followed behind.
This scene is quite grand. If the sect masters of such large sects came to visit in the past, they would not necessarily have to be in such a posture.
It's just that Li Xingtuo can be said to have solved a big dilemma for the Xie family in Chen County, and he still took the risk of offending a powerful enemy. After Xie Yuan proposed it, the elders didn't have much objection.
Having such a strong support at this time is of great significance to Xie.
As the sun was rising and it was still early for dinner, Xie Yuan and the elders entertained Li Xingtuo to drink tea at a waterside pavilion.
The silk and bamboo are melodious, the singing and dancing are endless, and the well-trained dancers and musicians show off their skills. Xie Yuan and Li Xingtuo sat on the two main seats, quietly admiring the performance.
"Master Xie really knows how to enjoy it."
Li Xingtuo watched the singing and dancing for a while and said leisurely.
Xie Yuan was silent for a moment and said:
"It's all to entertain Sect Leader Li from afar."
"Haha, that's it. Yunshan is miserable. Where have I seen this? Tsk, the singing voice is beautiful and the dancing skills are excellent. Although it is not Jiangnan, it is better than Jiangnan.
"Many disciples of Yunshan never come back when they go to Jiangnan. That's because they didn't come here, otherwise they would not miss Sichuan even more."
Li Xingtuo clapped his hands and praised.
Lingering in the south of the Yangtze River, Chen Jun is happy to miss Shu...
Xie Yuan coughed lightly:
"Then it must be that the disciples of your noble sect are delayed. I think those who can join the sword sect must be extremely talented and have a strong desire to seek the truth."
"Thank you, Master Xie."
Li Xingtuo cupped his hands and smiled politely.
Xie Yuan always felt that Li Xingtuo's eyes had profound meanings. The seemingly peaceful eyes that were more powerful than the world's swords seemed to penetrate Xie Yuan, making people's scalp numb.
Many masters and elders spoke to Li Xingtuo one after another, expressing their sincere thanks to Li Xingtuo for his help, and Li Xingtuo naturally responded politely.
However, the elders of the Xie family were still trying to find out why Li Xingtuo came to help him, and what was his relationship with Xie Yuan? And if so, what kind of deal was made?
Li Xingtuo smiled and shook his head:
"When I was traveling, I met the head of the Xie Yi family on the left side of the road. We discussed swords for three days and gained a lot. I became a close friend with the head of the Xie Yi family and drank and talked happily. I didn't expect that twenty years would pass by and the world would change.
"The head of the Xie Yi family was seriously injured, and the little head of the Xie family was in danger. As a result, there were people with malicious intentions who tried to deceive the young people and take away their belongings. Although I am busy with family affairs, I have not forgotten the intention of wielding the sword. How can we see that our old friend's family is in trouble because of his efforts to hoe the strong and support the weak? He shows his sword in his hand only for the sake of justice in his heart and not for the reward of treasure."
After he finished his explanation, all the elders naturally praised him continuously and offered tea instead of wine to pay homage to Li Xingtuo.
"Sect Master Li is truly the style of an ancient swordsman. I give you a toast to Sect Master Li!"
"I have long heard that the Yunshan Sword Sect has a pure and upright style, and that its disciples take it as their own duty to punish evil and promote good. Today, when I see Sect Master Li acting like this as the sect leader, I know that what I said is true. The Yunshan Sword Sect is a famous and upright sect. Model! ”
"Zongzhu Li is righteous!"
When the elders praise him, they will naturally do the same thing and never repeat it.
But they were murmuring in their hearts, did Xie Yi have a relationship with Li Xingtuo back then? Never heard of it.
Although it is not impossible, after all, Xie Yi has been wandering around the world with Cui Pingjun for a long time, but if it is true, no one should have heard him mention it once in so many years.
Moreover, Li Xingtuo's words seemed to be about Tianyunpu, but the elders of the Xie family always felt that there was something in his words, and they were clearly talking about something else.
This one is big and small, it is definitely not simple!
Could it be that he is a master and apprentice?
Everyone speculated, and some tried to test him with words, but Li Xingtuo just smiled lightly. He said what he wanted to say, and he didn't say what he didn't want to say.
As the leader of a sect, although he is a heroic swordsman, he also has a city that can hold up Yunshan.
After the tea party took a break, everyone asked Li Xingtuo to attend the dinner. Xie Yuan invited Li Xingtuo to the study to discuss matters.
Walking to Xie Yuan's own courtyard, and then entering the study that was not as spacious as the study of Yunshan Sect Master, but much more elegant and luxurious, Li Xingtuo praised:
"Master Xie has good taste."
Xie Yuan scratched his head, asked Li Xingtuo to sit down, then personally heated a cup for him, made tea, and handed it to him.
Li Xingtuo smiled slightly:
"The head of the Xie family in Chen County brewed the tea himself, and Mr. Li was a little frightened."
Xie Yuan gave a bitter smile and said in a low voice:
"Sect Master, please stop chasing me. There were so many people outside just now..."
Li Xingtuo looked at him, put down the teacup, and smiled slightly:
"I'm not burying you, I'm just curious. Now, should I call you Xie Yuan or Zhang Shan?"
Xie Yuan was silent for a moment and said:
"The sect master can be called whatever he likes, but when the disciples recall the days on Yunshan Mountain, they are still the most carefree and relaxing days on the path of cultivation. If not for this, I would not have the courage to invite the sect master to come this time."
Xie Yuan made two preparations for Tianyunpu. First, he sent a letter early to invite Li Xingtuo to help.
But he was not sure that Li Xingtuo would definitely come to help.
After all, this matter was of great importance. Although he had a deep connection with the Yunshan Sword Sect and had saved fellow sect members and made contributions, it was difficult to say how deep his friendship with Li Xingtuo was, and the number of times he even communicated with him was actually not much.
However, he had an intuition that Li Xingtuo would take action after receiving his letter.
So he still tried, after all, there were not many other options.
Despite this, Xie Yuan still made a second-hand plan, that is, he waited according to the trend.
If Li Xingtuo didn't come, it would be a matter of trying to be patient with these elders to see if they still had the overall interests of the Xie family in mind.
In hindsight, both preparations were considered successful, and Xie Yuan felt that these masters and elders were not hopeless and could be used.
Li Xingtuo nodded slightly when he heard what Xie Yuan said:
"In that case, why don't you go back to Yunshan? Can't you let go of this glory and wealth?"
Xie Yuan shook his head:
"If possible, I really want to ignore it and go back to Yunshan to practice swordsmanship. But there is a burden on my shoulders that I have to carry, so I can't leave. But sect master, are you really old friends with your second uncle?"
< br>
Li Xingtuo looked at Xie Yuan's mature expression. As the leader of a sect, he naturally understood what he meant and just sighed softly.
Then he looked slightly strange and said:
"We don't know each other without fighting..."
Xie Yuan was stunned, did he really know him?
He thought that Li Xingtuo was all making up nonsense.
Li Xingtuo raised his face slightly, as if recalling:
"It was true that I met your second uncle on both sides of the aisle, and we discussed swordsmanship several times. But the ending was not so friendly. I couldn't stand the behavior of a child from his aristocratic family, and he couldn't stand the debauchery of my mountain background."
"How could my second uncle look down on your origin?"
Xie Yuan said in surprise. According to his understanding of Xie Yi, he should not be considered a hero based on his birthplace.
Li Xingtuo coughed lightly:
"It's not that I just don't like my style. We were both young back then. Although I don't like people from aristocratic families, I think your aunt is quite interesting."
Xie Yuan suddenly looked strange.
He remembered inexplicably that Luo Shuang once said that Li Xingtuo wanted to be the first male disciple in the history of Yue Peak...
It seems that the sect leader was also in his prime of life back then.
However, Li Xingtuo is still single and has no spouse or heirs, which is known to the whole sect.
Judging from his talent, strength and status, to be honest, there are countless people who admire him. It is very easy to choose a suitable Taoist companion. Moreover, he was not the kind of person who has no mood for love. I don’t know why he is still single?
Seeing that Li Xingtuo was rumored to have dyed his hair, Xie Yuan was quite curious about what stories he had from the older generation, but unfortunately he couldn't ask.
Li Xingtuo looked at Xie Yuan and said:
"Your cultivation has improved very rapidly, or it can be said that it is almost beyond my imagination. Did I misjudge that you had a very high cultivation level at that time?"
Xie Yuan didn't know what Li Xingtuo thought at that time.
But the higher his cultivation level is now and the higher the level of contact he has, the more he understands how amazing Li Xingtuo's cultivation level is.
Thinking about what I had concealed in front of him before, it was actually very ridiculous, and it was purely for fun...
If you want to let him go, let him escape thousands of miles with the Floating Light Sword, but it will happen at dawn and at dusk, and he cannot escape from the palm of your hand;
As for caring about him, even Xie Yuan himself doesn't care about a young man who has changed his environment, not to mention Li Xingtuo, who has no worries about what damage he can cause.
"Probably not. We have really experienced a lot in the past two years."
Xie Yuan said truthfully.
Li Xingtuo thought for a moment and said slowly:
“It’s not a good thing to practice too fast.”
“The disciple’s foundation is pretty solid.”
"That's not what I'm talking about."
Li Xingtuo said thoughtfully, but didn't say much.
"Your Xie family has great marksmanship and good swordsmanship. But are you still practicing swordsmanship?"
"I'm practicing."
"Come and have a look."
Xie Yuan nodded, stood in the large study room, and drew his sword.
The wind blew in the quiet room, white light spread out, clouds and mist shrouded the room, and black shadows drifted.
A faint dragon roar sounded, and Xie Yuan then sheathed his sword.
Although he only practiced two moves casually, Li Xingtuo's eyesight must have clearly seen his realm.
Li Xingtuo's eyes flickered for a while and he said slowly:
"You have mastered three of the nine styles of Yunlong. Up and down Yunshan, your mastery of this sword can rank among the top five."
As soon as Xie Yuan drew his sword, a cloud dragon appeared. The power was majestic and varied, but he didn't blow a single stroke of paper in the quiet room. It can be said that he was free to control his sword.
Such a state is enough to make Li Xingtuo look sideways, especially since he has achieved this in just two or three years without anyone's guidance, which makes the Sword Sect leader's mood not as calm as his expression.
I almost lost my temper in front of him.
"The sect master has given me the reward, but the disciple still needs to work hard."
Xie Yuan was a little excited.
There are ten swordsman masters on Yunshan Mountain. Doesn't it mean that he has a better command than some masters?
It seems that he has achieved some success in swordsmanship now.
Seeing his proud expression, Li Xingtuo slowly showed an unpredictable expression:
"But, why don't I remember teaching you the Nine Styles of Yunlong?"
Xie Yuan froze for a moment and hissed. It has been too long, and I have forgotten this, and I have also forgotten that this sect leader is full of twists and turns.
"Jianfeng, the disciple realized it on Jianfeng."
He had no choice but to leave everything to Jianfeng.
Li Xingtuo smiled slightly and did not go into details about why he didn't tell Jianfeng if he understood it, and how he could become like this. He has always been aware of Xie Yuan's peculiarity.
"Have you ever taught others?"
"Never revealed anything."
"That's good."
Li Xingtuo nodded:
"Do you know why I traveled thousands of miles to help you, even at the expense of offending the Wang family and the royal family?"
Xie Yuan was silent for a long time, then solemnly said:
"Sect Master, I am extremely grateful to you for your generous help. I don't know how to repay you! I wonder what the Chen County Xie family can do for you and the Sword Sect?"
He immediately said:
"The Xie family has extremely advanced swordsmanship in their arsenal. If the sect master wants to refer to it, I will discuss it with Elder Zhenwu."
Li Xingtuo looked at him:
"If you go and tell me, will you be considered Xie Yuan of the Xie family, or Zhang Shan of Yunshan?"
Xie Yuan shook his head:
"It's a savings for my disciple. It's just that the sect master has helped Xie a lot, how can he not repay it? I will explain it clearly to Elder Zhenwu, and he will decide how to use the sword scriptures in the arsenal to repay."
"Even so, others will still think that you are using your power for personal gain and helping outsiders."
Li Xingtuo shook his head:
"You must avoid melon fields and plum trees. And...
"Although I am interested in your sword scriptures, Yunshan's swordsmanship is not inferior to others and can be studied for a lifetime. It is enough. I told them at the beginning that I came here not in return, not as a courtesy. If it weren't for your connection with the sect, If you hadn’t made great contributions, practiced diligently in the sect, and had not broken the rules, no matter how much reward you receive, I would not interfere with it.
"I am here just to help the disciples of the sect, do you understand?"
I am here just to help the disciples of the sect...
Xie Yuan was quiet for a long time before he was moved and said:
"Don't worry, disciple. Sword religion has never given me more than swordsmanship."
"Just understand."
Li Xingtuo nodded happily.
He looked at Xie Yuan who was very touched, with a slight smile in his eyes and a leisurely look.
Having said that, Xie Yuan still doesn't consider himself a disciple of the sect?
When something happened to Jian Zong, how could Xie Yuan turn a blind eye?
Nothing can compare with the friendship of a future grand master. Favor debts are the hardest to repay, and Jiang is still old and hot.
"When can you break through the Grandmaster?"
Li Xingtuo asked.
Xie Yuan pondered for a moment and said:
"Sect Master, normally it will take less than a year. But the disciple has a small problem..."
He told his situation, which again attracted a strange look from Li Xingtuo.
Good guy, your internal strength has already broken through to the master level?
Before you understand heaven and earth, before you open the bridge between heaven and earth, and when your inner breath breaks through the limits, do you first have the meaning of natural heaven and earth?
What kind of strange talent is this? This kid is really a strange flower.
Li Xingtuo sighed inwardly for a while, his face was calm and noble, he thought for a moment and said:
"In this way, you practice first. When your blood energy is perfect and you are about to break through, if you have time, come to Yunshan to break through. I can help you.
"And my thoughts on Jianfeng. I remember I said that if my trip to Jiangnan is a meritorious service, I will do it with you once. What you did later made you worthy of being a disciple of the Jianzong, and it was worthy of many Jianfeng visits. When you come back, we will go together. You've realized it. With your current cultivation level, you must have learned a lot about Yunlong's Nine Styles. I think you might learn better swordsmanship next time.
"If you encounter too many challenges outside and can no longer survive, or if you cause too much trouble, you can always go back to Yunshan. As long as you like to use swords and have a chivalrous heart, there will always be a place for you in the Sword Sect." (End of Chapter)
