The grotto was not far from the Sword Sect, and soon, eight people arrived outside the grotto. Xi Wen said loudly: "Master, my disciple Xi Wen wants to see you. There is news about the ninth junior brother." His voice, wrapped in Shengsheng Zhenqi, spread into the deep cave.
After a while, an echo came from the grotto, "Yes. I just heard the Tianxuan bell. Have you found Owen's disciples? You all come in." It was the clear voice of the Tiangang Sword Master.
"Yes, master." Xi Wen agreed, leading Duan and several of his junior brothers into the grotto.
Duan looked around. This grotto was completely natural, without any trace of artificiality. The grotto was very deep. After walking for a hundred meters, he turned a corner and suddenly became enlightened. This is a not very big cave. There is a person sitting cross-legged on a big rock in the center of the cave. Because the light is very dark, Ah-Dai cannot see the person's face clearly.
Seven people from Xi Wen knelt down at the same time and said respectfully: "Meet the master."
Dumb was stunned for a moment, then fell to his knees under Xi Wen's pull and hesitated. : "Ah, Dumb pays homage to you, the Tiangang Sword Master."
"You all get up. Xi Wen, stand aside." There was a hint of excitement in the originally calm voice of Tiangang Sword Master.
Xi Wen and others agreed and retreated to both sides. Dumb was the last one to stand up. Just as he stood up, two cold bolts suddenly hit him in front of him. He was startled and couldn't help but take a step back. The cold electricity was emitted from the opened eyes of Tiangang Sword Master. They were a pair of clear eyes. Although they did not contain any emotion, they were full of vitality. His whole body seemed to be blocked, unable to move at all. The vitality in his body was constantly circulating, and the surging energy seemed to be in an unusual state of excitement.
“Are you Owen’s disciple Dumb?”
Ah-Dai was almost out of breath under the intimidating momentum of Tiangang Sword Master, "Yes, yes, Uncle Owen taught me martial arts."
Tiangang Sword Master sighed softly, closed his eyes, and Ah-Dai's body The pressure suddenly disappeared. "Tell me how you met Owen, everything you got along with, and even how he died later."
A'Dai couldn't bring up the slightest thought of resistance, and replied honestly: "I was originally I was practicing magic with Teacher Coris in the Psychedelic Forest. During that time, Teacher Coris was out looking for things. By the way, Teacher Coris was a great alchemist. One day, after the teacher left, I suddenly found out. The magic circle arranged by Teacher Rees was touched. I thought it was the teacher who came back, so I ran out to meet him. Unexpectedly, I encountered a group of men in black surrounding a man in white. The man in white was Uncle Owen. I want to kill that Uncle Owen, but they are no match. I heard them say that Uncle Owen has been poisoned by Wuer Holy Water.”
Hearing this, Xi Wen and the other seven people exclaimed in surprise at the same time. The name of Wuer Holy Water is known to everyone on the mainland, and its unparalleled poison is feared by everyone.
Tiangang Sword Master didn't seem to care, "Go on."
Dumb said: "Uncle Owen was about to be killed by those men in black, and then he used Pluto's sword killed two men in black."
This time, even the Tiangang Sword Master couldn't keep calm. He opened his eyes again, cold light shot out, and his expression moved slightly: "You said that Owen used the Pluto Sword. So, the third sword that has been rampant on the mainland for many years The first killer is 'Pluto'. I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it! My disciple actually became a killer."
Ah Dai nodded and scared Owen away. He told me in detail how he fainted and everything that happened between him and Owen. "Uncle Owen said before he died that the people he was most sorry for in his life were his little junior sister and you. He said, let me come to the Sword Sect when I have free time. After uncle died, I cremated his body. , carry the ashes with you. Use the blood of the dragon to open the door to time and space." Ah-Dai took out the blue blood of the dragon from his collar, and in the flash of light, Owen gave Ah-Dai the Tiangang heavy sword and equipment. The jar with Owen's ashes flew out and landed smoothly on the ground under Dumb's control.
Tiangang Sword Master and Xi Wen were all silent. With a flash of breeze, Tiangang Sword Master had landed in front of Ah-Dai, and he was very close. Ah-Dai was surprised to find that Tiangang Sword Master looked like a middle-aged man in his forties, with few wrinkles on his face. His beard and hair are all white, and he is not very handsome. He has a clear face, a high nose, and a pair of red and phoenix eyes that open and close with a hint of coldness. Looking carefully, Ah-Dai discovered that the Tiangang Sword Master had a strange charm that made him unconsciously feel reverence. This was a feeling that even Cardinal Xuan Ye had never given him. Tiangang Sword Master's whole body exudes a strong aura of awe-inspiring righteousness. At this moment, his whole body was trembling slightly, and his eyes were shining with light as he looked at the two things on the ground. .
The Tiangang Sword Master stretched out his right hand, and the Tiangang epee weighing more than 70 kilograms and the urn floated up and landed on his palm. Although many years of training had already brought him to the state of having no desires or desires, the sudden news of the death of his beloved disciple and the cause of his daughter's death also made the world-famous sword master feel surges in his heart. He gently caressed him. Holding the sword, he murmured: "Lao Jiu, your life has been too miserable. Alas, this was all the master's fault. I shouldn't have neglected you because of the death of your junior sister. That's not to blame. You!”
The relationship between the seven Xi Wen and Irving is very deep, and several of them were already in tears, surrounded by the Tiangang Sword Master. Feeling the sad atmosphere, Owen's face seemed to reappear in Dumb's heart. He choked and said: "Uncle Owen, I will definitely avenge you."
The Tiangang Sword Master suddenly raised his head, with a cold look in his eyes. He flashed and said to Dumb: "Show me the Pluto Sword."
Dumb was shocked and said hurriedly: "The evil energy on the Pluto Sword is too strong, I'm afraid, I'm afraid of you..."
Tiangang Sword Master snorted coldly, his whole body's aura surged, and the whole grotto was filled with energy. He trembled slightly, "Bring it here, I don't believe that any evil can harm me."
A-Dai then remembered that the Tiangang Sword Master's Sheng Sheng Jue had been cultivated to the ninth level, the highest level. He nodded and unbuttoned his coat, revealing the skin underneath. The hilt of the Pluto Sword inlaid with black gems emitted a faint cold light. Dumb warned: "Sword Master, you old man, please don't draw it out! The Pluto Sword is taken out of its sheath to take away the soul." After that, he took the Pluto sword away. The sword and its skin were removed together and handed to the Tiangang Sword Master respectfully.
The Tiangang Sword Master handed the Tiangang Sword and Owen's ashes to Xi Wen beside him, and his whole body was filled with vitality. Dumb found that the Pluto Sword in his hand seemed to be wrapped in an unknown energy, and he no longer felt the slightest evil aura, as if it was just an ordinary short sword. The Pluto Sword fell into the hands of the Tiangang Sword Master with its leather bag attached. He grabbed the hilt and pulled the Pluto Sword out of its sheath. The Pluto Sword suddenly became full of evil energy after leaving its skin, but the overwhelming evil still could not break through the fighting spirit released by the Tiangang Sword Master. The white light lit up, and Ah-Dai could clearly see that the Pluto Sword, wrapped in fighting spirit, kept coming. Emitting a faint gray gas.
A look of surprise flashed in the eyes of Tiangang Sword Master, and he frowned and said: "This is the Pluto Sword that ruined Owen's life! This kid is so obsessed, and he has caused so many murders, no wonder He will not die well. The most evil Pluto sword in the world is indeed very powerful. I don’t know how many attacks I can resist in the Ninth Art."
A-Dai said, "If I can in the future. After practicing to the ninth level of Shengshengjue, you can use the first five moves of Pluto. He also said that the following moves are not the power that should appear in the world. Sword Master, you should be careful."
< br>
The Tiangang Sword Master put the Pluto Sword into his skin and said to Dumb: "If I told you now that I want to keep this Pluto Sword with me, would you be willing? After all, this was given to you by Owen."
Hearing the words of Tiangang Sword Master, Ah-Dai felt a sense of relief in his heart. Although the Pluto Sword was powerful, it also caused great trouble to Ah-Dai. He nodded repeatedly and said: "It would be best for you to keep the Pluto Sword. If Uncle Owen hadn't insisted on giving it to me, I wouldn't want it. The evil power is too terrifying."
Tiangang Sword Master See Seeing the relief in Dumb's eyes, he smiled slightly and said: "What a pity! It's of no use to me. Owen is right. An evil weapon like this can benefit people if used in a good way. I appreciate your character. If you are satisfied, you will be the guardian of the Pluto Sword." After saying that, he threw the Pluto Sword to Dumb.
Dumb was stunned, grabbed the Pluto Sword and murmured: "Don't you think about it anymore? Only with such a high skill as yours can I control it by keeping it by my side! I'm afraid, I..."
The Tiangang Sword Master's face darkened and he said: "As a disciple of my Tiangang Sword Sect, you must have a strong will and face difficulties. What do you look like like this? Don't you understand the principle that man can conquer nature?"
Seeing the Tiangang Sword Master getting angry, Ah-Dai couldn't help but feel afraid. He quickly put away the Pluto Sword and hung it on his body, not daring to say a word.
Tiangang Sword Master glanced at his seven disciples and said, "What do you think of Owen's death?".
Xi Wen said: "Master, this assassin's guild has done an incredible job. They know clearly that Junior Owen is your disciple, yet they dare to kill Junior Sister and force Junior Brother to join them. I think it's time to do so. It’s time for us to take the initiative. I believe that with our brothers’ skills, we can defeat the Killer Guild and avenge the Ninth Brother.”
Zhou Wenhen said: “Elder Brother is right, the Killer Guild is simply too powerful. Damn it, you don’t take our Tiangang Sword Sect seriously at all. I have to avenge my ninth brother!”
Tiangang Sword Master closed his eyes, sighed softly, and said: "So what if you take revenge, so what if you don't take revenge? No matter what, your junior brother and junior sister will not survive. I have lived a hundred years in vain, but I can't protect you." My own disciple and daughter, hey - what's the use of just having the title of Sword Master?" Thinking of what Ah-Dai said just now, Owen was still thinking of him when he was dying, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten.
Lu Wen asked tentatively: "Master, can we just forget it?"
Tiangang Sword Master shook his head slightly and said: "I'm tired, you take Dumb back. Let's go back." Let me think about it. From today on, Ah-Dai will officially become the third generation disciple of my Tiangang Sword Sect.”
Xiwen stopped the junior brothers who were still talking with his eyes, and pulled Ah-Dai out of the grotto with them.
Out of the grotto, Ah-Dai suddenly burst into tears. He just told everyone what happened between him and Owen, which was equivalent to allowing him to completely recall everything that happened between him and Owen. He couldn't help but feel sad about his various experiences and the friendship they had spent with each other for many years.
Xi Wen patted Ah-Dai on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Kid, don't cry. Don't worry, Junior Brother Owen will never die in vain. Master has always been the most protective of his shortcomings, and he will never look at the Killer Guild. You're getting away with it. You're tired from the journey. Let's take a good rest. The master has already decided on your title. From now on, you won't call us uncle. You'll call me master."< br>
Ah-Dai wiped his tears and nodded: "Yes, Master Uncle."
Back in the Sword Sect, Ah-Dai was arranged in an ordinary hut. The rooms of Brother Yan and Xuan Yue were next to his, and Brother Rock had gone to bed long ago. Xuan Yue has been waiting for him to come back.
"Ah-Dai, what's wrong with you? Why are your eyes red? Did something happen." Looking at Ah-Dai's sad expression, Xuan Yue asked with concern.
Dui took Xuan Yue's little hand and said: "Yueyue, Master said that he would accept me as a disciple and make me a third-generation disciple of the Tiangang Sword Sect. I'm fine, I just feel sad when I think of Uncle Owen's death."
Xuan Yue was stunned and said: "Master? You mean the Tiangang Sword Master. However, if you join the Tiangang Sword Sect, you should not be able to travel the mainland with me. How can that be done? You are their follower, You have to stay with me.”
Ah-Dai lowered his head and said, “I, I don’t know, my heart is very messed up.”
Xuan Yue looked at Ah-Dai's appearance and couldn't bear to force him any more. She said softly: "You have been traveling all night and you are tired. You should rest first and wait until you wake up." After that, she pushed Ah-Dai forcibly. She went to the bed and covered him with a quilt herself. Just as she was about to go out, Ah-Dai took her hand and said, "Yueyue, can you stay with me for a little longer? I feel so lonely."
Xuan Yue nodded lightly, pulled a stool and sat next to Ah-Dai, letting him hold her little hand, and whispered: "Go to sleep, everything will be over when you wake up."
Holding Xuan Yue's soft little hand, Ah-Dai's excitement gradually calmed down. He was indeed a little tired, and he fell asleep after a while.
It wasn't until evening that Ah-Dai woke up from his sleep. Xuan Yue had disappeared and the room was empty. Ah-Dai lay flat on the bed, gently stroking the Pluto Sword on his chest, recalling the scene of meeting the Tiangang Sword Master in the morning, and his heart fluctuated like waves. The powerful aura exuded by Tiangang Sword Master, Xi Wen and others made him feel so insignificant. He knew clearly that even if he used Dark Flash, he would never be able to do anything to them. With my current skills, it is impossible to avenge Uncle Owen. It seems that only continuous practice will do the trick!
At this time, the door suddenly opened, and Xuan Yue got in. She thought Ah-Dai was still asleep, so she tiptoed to Ah-Dai's side. She was startled when she saw Ah-Dai's eyes open, " Hey, when did you wake up? Why didn't you say anything when I came in? It really scared me."
Ah-Dai forced a smile, sat up, and said, "I just woke up, Yueyue, didn't you take a rest?"
Xuan Yue said: "Sleep for a while. Come on, those old men asked us to go to dinner together. The rocks and rock power have already gone."
A'Dai frowned and said: "Yue Yue, you can't be rude to Master. , They are all respectable elders."
Xuan Yue stuck out her cute little tongue and said, "I know, let's go quickly."
Ah-Dai got up from the bed, simply tidied up his appearance, and under the leadership of Xuan Yue, he came to the lobby of the Tiangang Sword Sect again. There was an extra table in the lobby. Xi Wen and other second-generation disciples of the Tiangang Sword Sect were there. Brothers Yan Yan and Yan Li sat at the bottom respectfully. On the table, there were several large pots of vegetables, and the aroma came, which could not help but arouse the hunger in Ah-Dai's belly.
Xi Wen smiled slightly and said, "Ah-Dai, come on, I'm waiting for you." Ah-Dai and Xuan Yue sat next to Yan Yan and Yan Li.
Xi Wen said: "When you first came to the mountain, there is nothing good to entertain you. They are all specialties from the mountain, so you can make do with them. Everyone in the Sword Sect eats these. Although you are originally guests, you can't Exception.”
The four of them had been hungry for a long time and would not be picky about anything. These delicious meals made them eat a lot, even Xuan Yue ate a lot. On the contrary, the seven Xiwen people ate very little. Ever since they learned about Owen's experience today, they have been unable to calm down.
“Ah-Dai, how did you meet Yan Yan and the others? I heard Feng Ping say that when he saw you, you seemed to be just a person. It didn’t take long for you to get away from Yan Yan and the others. Come together. And this little girl from the Holy See, whose child are you? Why does the Holy See allow you to walk around the continent casually? "
Dumb look. He glanced at Xuan Yue and told how he met Xuan Yue, how he later took over the mission of the Death Mountain, and his encounters with the Puyan tribe and the Elf tribe. It just didn't explain that Xuan Yue's father was one of the cardinals of the Holy See.
After listening to his narration, Lu Wen laughed and said: "You young people! You really don't know how high the sky is and how high it is. Can you even go to the Death Mountain? Fortunately, the kind-hearted elves stopped you, otherwise, we would have really arrived. I'm afraid I won't be able to get out again."
Xi Wen looked at the rock with soft eyes and said, "I didn't expect that your wife would be killed by Yan Ju. He is a good boy, but his desire for power has led him to the devil's path. It's just a pain for you! I'm sorry, Shi Yan, if you are willing to stay, I can officially accept you as a member of the Tiangang Sword Sect. Disciple. "He understands Shi Yan's character, and he has now become the head of the Tiangang Sword Sect, so he can easily make the decision.
If Xi Wen had wanted to accept Yan Yan as his disciple when he was young, he would have agreed without hesitation. But now, he couldn't. He shook his head and said sincerely: "Thank you, Teacher Xiwen. But since we promised the Elf Queen to help her find her tribe, we cannot break the promise. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely invite you. Advice.”
Xi Wen nodded slightly and said: "Okay, I won't force you. Ah-Dai, are you going to help the elves find the clan members too?"
A-Dai looked at Xuan Yue, who had anxiety in his eyes. gaze. "Uncle, I promised the Elf Queen first, so I think it's better to help her find her people first."
Xi Wen smiled slightly, how could he not understand Xuan Yue's expression? "You are all kind-hearted and good children. It is right to help the elves. You are doing the right thing. If you offend any nobles of the Sunset Empire in the future, you can come back. No one will trouble you here. However, Dumb, I hope you will stay for a few more days. The master is very confused about the ninth brother. I think you can wait until he decides how to deal with the killer union."
Upon hearing that Xi Wen did not stop Ah-Dai and herself from looking for the elves, Xuan Yue was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "No problem, the scenery of Tiangang Mountain is so beautiful! Especially the sunrise that day, we also wanted to stay for a few days. "However, what Xuan Yue didn't expect was that precisely because of her decision to stay here, she and Ah-Dai were separated for three years.
…………
Somewhere in the Sunset Empire, the headquarters of the Thieves Guild.
"What, the fourth child was killed by Pluto's disciples from the Assassins' Guild?" The president of the Thieves' Guild cried out, anger filling his chest. The Takers have always been the middle force of the Thieves Guild. Every loss of one person is the heaviest blow to the Thieves Guild. If it hadn't been for the extremely high commission offered by the employer this time, all the takers in the labor union would not have gone out together. The temptation of ten thousand diamond coins is too great. With this money, it is enough for the Thieves Guild to live a prosperous life for ten years. .
Mie Feng took a step forward, lowered his head and said: "President, it's all my fault. If my fourth uncle hadn't saved me, he wouldn't have died under the sword of Hades. You punish me."< br>
The president glanced at his daughter. This was his only daughter and the greatest pride in his life. Not only was Mie Feng extremely talented, but she also worked much harder in training than when she was young. She reached the level of a gainer at the age of only nineteen, which was entirely achieved through her own efforts. The other six acquirers can be said to be his old brothers. Sometimes they love Mie Feng more than themselves. He understands very well why the fourth brother took the sword of Pluto instead of Mie Feng. He sighed, shook his head and said, "Tell me the whole story first."
Miefeng lowered his head and said, "This is what happened. After we accepted the deposit from our employer, under your order, we led ten senior thieves and one hundred ordinary thieves to quietly enter the Tianyuan Clan Elf Forest. Just now. At the beginning, everything went very smoothly. We set up many traps and spent half a month capturing sixteen ordinary elves, including six male elves and ten female elves, which was still ten short of the employer's requirements. Only a few people. However, those elves became more vigilant and frequently sent experts to patrol the forest. Our senior thieves and ordinary thieves suffered heavy losses, so we had to temporarily withdraw from the elven forest. Several strangers appeared. There were six men and two women in total, a total of eight people. Their skills were not very advanced when they just entered the elf forest. They were stopped by a small group of elves. The elves may have been captured by us. I didn't believe the outsiders and insisted on restraining them. The outsiders also agreed and were bound by the elf magician using natural magic. I calculated the number of these elves and found that we had already captured them. It was just enough for the thirty people our employer needed, so we decided to use all our strength to capture this group of elves. So we quietly followed the group of elves into the elf forest and found that there were no other elves around. We attacked them secretly and captured their magician first. But at this moment, the strangers suddenly broke free and quickly killed many of us. Ordinary thieves, we had no choice but to go out. In order to avoid more casualties, we decided to challenge these strangers head-on. Their skills were not very high. The first one to come up even took one of my moves. Not coming down. The second person who appeared was a tall young man with a dull expression on his face. He used a large sword and his skills were much more profound than the previous one, but he was not my opponent yet. After a few fights, when he was about to lose to me, he suddenly revealed his trump card of the Pluto Sword. The fourth uncle was afraid that I would be injured, so he tried it himself. Who knew that the young man was indeed the descendant of the Pluto Sword. Then, with the fourth uncle's skill, he didn't even go out to meet him, and already..." At this point, Mie Feng's eyes turned red, and he choked up and couldn't continue. When she thought of her fourth uncle's death, she felt a surge of hatred in her heart. She hated the person who killed her fourth uncle and wanted to cut him into pieces.
The taker, who was made uncle by Miefeng, walked to Miefeng and said respectfully: "President, the failure of this mission was all caused by my mistakes. If I hadn't let the fourth child test it at that time, Whether that young man is the descendant of Hades, he will not die, you punish me."
The president of the Thieves Guild stood up, his whole body was shrouded in black clothes, and there was a dangle on his head. The green gauze hat made it impossible to see his face. "Brother Li, I can't blame you for what happened this time. If I were at the scene, I would also test the depth of the young man. You don't have to argue about whose mistake it was. I am also very sad about the death of the fourth child, but, you This mission did not fail. On the contrary, it was very successful. The employer not only paid us the originally promised commission, but also paid an additional five thousand diamond coins. These five thousand diamond coins are considered as your reward for this trip." br>
Mie Feng was stunned and said: "Dad, what did you say? We completed the task? However, we only captured sixteen elves! The number did not meet the employer's requirements."
The President of the Thieves Guild The voice became softer and said: "No, you have completed the task. Do you know? Among the sixteen elves you captured, one of them has the blood of the Elf King. In other words, she is the daughter of the Elf King. , with her alone, she is enough to defeat hundreds of ordinary elves. Although we lost a lot of people this time, you have also brought a lot of benefits to the organization. Over the years, you have made countless contributions to the organization. You are my good brothers. Without you, the Thieves Guild would not be what it is today. In this way, I will give you a year's leave so that you can have a full rest. As for recruiting new members, I will find someone to do it."
Mie Feng said anxiously: "Dad, what about the murderer who killed Fourth Uncle? Are we going to let him go just like that?" The person who got the surname Li next to her pulled her and said: "Feng'er, Stop talking. Although everyone is sad about the death of the fourth child, the person who killed him has a close relationship with the Killer Guild, and we cannot afford to offend the Killer Guild."
Miefeng said excitedly: "Even if the Killer Guild is getting stronger, they can't kill our people for no reason! Haven't we provided them with enough information over the years?"
The president raised his hand, Stopping Mie Feng from continuing, he said calmly: "The Fourth Brother's death will not be in vain. I will seek justice from the Killer Guild. Although they are stronger than us, they are also dark forces, so they will give me some. Face. I just feel strange why Pluto gave his disciples the Pluto Sword. You go and rest."
I will die for it. The takers seek justice, and the five older takers all have grateful looks in their eyes. Without saying anything else, he quietly left. Only the president and Mie Feng were left in the room. Miefeng removed the veil from his face and said: "Dad, my fourth uncle's death must not be in vain. You let me go. As long as I find the murderer, I will definitely kill him."
The president said slightly angrily: "Have you caused me enough trouble? Don't you understand that there are people outside the world? The first rule of our Thieves Guild is that we are not allowed to kill people. As my daughter, do you want to break this rule? He sighed and continued: "I know you have a deep relationship with the fourth child, but some things can't be handled on impulse. You are my only daughter. If something happens to you, what will you do to your father?" Done. Okay, don’t interfere in this matter anymore. I’ll ask the Killer Guild if there’s any news. I’ll let you know.”
