After Qiu Yuanhong thought deeply, he looked at Li Mu and said solemnly: "Elder Li, facing a powerful enemy like the Immortal Demon Lord, it may be difficult for ordinary monks to deal with it. This matter requires your intervention. Please come with me." !”
“Huh?” A trace of doubt flashed in Li Mu’s eyes, and he nodded, following Qiu Yuanhong’s footsteps.
Soon, the two of them walked through the sect's buildings one after the other and headed towards the back mountain.
The back mountain is a forbidden area in the sect. Few monks set foot on it on weekdays, so it is particularly quiet. As they go deeper into the back mountain, the surrounding scenery gradually becomes deserted and they enter an isolated valley. .
Qiu Yuanhong stopped, turned around and said to Li Mu: "Elder Li, the place of cultivation here is called 'Hidden Sword Valley'. The aura in the valley is rich, and there are also sword aura marks left over from the battles between the Tao Lords of the past dynasties. , this valley is the place where the sword elders of the sect choose to retreat and achieve enlightenment. It is also the place where the sword elders of our sect have retreated and hit the next level.”
"In addition to the two Dao Lords and the seven sword masters with unparalleled combat power in the sect, there are the thirteen sword elders who are the most powerful in combat. The two Dao Lords and the seven sword masters each have important matters and cannot escape. Now to get rid of the powerful enemy of the Immortal Demon Lord, we can only ask a few sword elders to take action," Qiu Yuanhong looked at Li Mu and introduced.
"Oh!" Li Mu nodded, with some doubts in his eyes. He didn't understand why Qiu Yuanhong said he needed to come forward.
Qiu Yuanhong seemed to have noticed Li Mu's doubts, smiled slightly, and explained: "Generally no one can disturb Elder Jian's retreat. Even the two Tao Lords and the seven sword masters may not show off their face, but, Elder Li, the situation will be different when you come in person."
"Me?" Li Mu was slightly startled, and Qiu Yuanhong's words made him even more confused.
"Elder Li, over the years, you have refined a total of eight Taoist weapons, four of which were entrusted by the four sword elders. They accepted your favor." Qiu Yuanhong looked at Li Mu, Smiling slightly, he explained the reason to Xiang Xiang: "Therefore, if you come forward to invite me, they will definitely agree and join forces with you to fight against the enemy."
"So that's it!" Li Mu suddenly realized, and quickly raised his hands and said: "Elder Qiu, I'm sorry!"
Qiu Yuanhong smiled slightly, walked to the depths of Hidden Sword Valley, faced a retreat cave, and took a deep breath , shouted with a loud voice: "Elder Yun Yi, today Qiu has something important to discuss, please come out of the seclusion to see me!"
As Qiu Yuanhong's words that contained powerful true energy fell, a burst of sword intent Emerging from the place of seclusion, Elder Yun Yi's figure appeared in front of him like a ghost. He carried a black scabbard on his back, with a stern face and bright eyes.
Elder Yun Yi is dressed in black with fluttering robes, giving people a mysterious and profound feeling. He exudes a sharp sword intent, as if every hair and every piece of clothes is They all contain powerful power, and the aura of a strong man in the Fusion Realm is unmistakable.
Elder Yun Yi stared at Qiu Yuanhong displeased and asked in a deep voice: "Elder Qiu, what's the matter with you? Are you disturbing my retreat?"
Qiu Yuanhong smiled, pointed to Li Mu aside, and introduced: "Elder Yun Yi, this is the newly promoted Supreme Elder Li Mu, the refiner of the Black Emperor Dao Sword you have on hand. He is here in person today. He has something important to do. "
Hearing the words "Refiner of the Black Emperor Dao Sword", Elder Yun Yi's stern eyes softened instantly. He looked at Li Mu carefully, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes. color.
“I didn’t expect that it was Elder Li who came in person. I have admired your name for a long time. The power of the Black Emperor Dao Sword is extraordinary. With its help, Yun is even more powerful. It all depends on your ingenuity. It is really a blessing to see the real person today. "Elder Yun Yi stepped forward and thanked Li Mu.
Li Mu hurriedly returned the gift and said humbly: "Elder Yun Yi has given you too much praise. The Black Emperor Dao Sword can show such power because of Elder Yun Yi's profound knowledge of swordsmanship. It is Li Mu who meets Elder Yun Yi today. It's an honor."
Seeing that the two respected each other, Qiu Yuanhong interrupted with a smile: "Okay, both elders are the mainstay of the sect, so there is no need to be so humble today. It’s Elder Li who has something important to ask of me.”
"Haha, don't say these polite words. Yun has accepted Elder Li's huge favor and will naturally help him." Elder Yun Yi laughed, then stopped his smile, turned to look at Qiu Yuanhong, and said with murderous intent: " Elder Qiu, just tell me who you want Yun to kill!"
"Elder Yun, please wait a moment!" Qiu Yuanhong gestured to Elder Yun Yi, and then he turned to the side and concentrated. Zhenyuan went to another place in Linggu and said, "Elder Xiao Shuang, I have something important to ask of you. Please come out of seclusion and see me!"
"Elder Qiu, what are you going to do with Heran? You still have to deal with it?" Do you want to disturb Elder Xiao?" Upon seeing this, Elder Yun Yi's expression changed slightly and he said solemnly.
"I will explain in detail when Elder Xiao comes out." Qiu Yuanhong responded with a slight smile.
As Qiu Yuanhong finished speaking, a chill spread from the depths of the sect, and then a woman dressed in white and holding an ice soul sword appeared in front of everyone. She was a member of the sect. Elder Xiao Shuang is a cold and highly accomplished swordsman.
Elder Xiao Shuang was like a fairy from the world of ice and snow, quietly appearing in front of everyone, dressed in pure and flawless white clothes, as if woven from the whitest clouds, light and elegant, complementing her cold temperament.
Her face is exquisitely beautiful, her skin is like snow, and there is no trace of earthly fireworks on her body. Her pupils are deep and bright, like two stars inlaid on the top of the glacier, shining with cold light, but revealing An indescribable depth.
She is holding an Ice Soul Dao Sword. The sword's body is crystal clear, as if it is made of thousands of years of ice. The coldness emanating from the sword makes people shudder.
Elder Xiao Shuang exuded a cold temperament. She stood there like a statue standing on the top of the ice and snow, cold and majestic. When she saw Elder Yun Yi, she nodded slightly. , then, looked at Qiu Yuanhong coldly, and asked in a cold voice: "Qiu, why are you disturbing the retreat? If you can't tell me, don't blame me for being rude!"
Qiu Yuanhong With a solemn look on his face, he bowed deeply and responded quickly: "Elder Xiao, disturbing your retreat today is really forced by important events and is a last resort."
With that said, Qiu Yuanhong turned to Li Mu and introduced: "Elder Xiao, this is the newly promoted supreme elder - Li Mu. It was he who refined the Black Emperor Dao Sword in Elder Yun Yi's hand and the Ice Soul Dao Sword in your hand. Today, Qiu brought him here. He really has something important to ask for, and he also asked you two to help."
Hearing that Li Mu is the refiner of the Bingpo Dao Sword, Elder Xiao Shuang's cold expression immediately softened. She looked at Li Mu seriously and asked, "Did you really refine the Ice Soul Dao Sword?"
Li Mu smiled slightly and responded calmly: "Yes. , Elder Xiao. I am fortunate to have the trust of the sect and be able to refine this sword."
However, Elder Xiao Shuang did not immediately show his convincing attitude. She asked again calmly: "Only by words. "I can't believe it. Elder Li, do you have any other Taoist soldiers to prove your skill in refining weapons?"
Hearing this, Li Mu frowned, nodded slightly, and said softly: "Elder Xiao?" , What I said is absolutely true. I do have a Taoist weapon that is about to be delivered, which is enough to prove it.”
After that, Li Mu took out a spiritual sword encased in a white jade scabbard from the Jiuzang Spirit Pearl. With a sword clanging sound, Li Mu pulled out the spirit sword from its scabbard.
I saw the slender spirit sword, the sword body glowed with a faint blue light, and the hilt was inlaid with a blue star. The gems exude a charming luster.
As the blue spiritual sword appeared, the Black Emperor Dao Sword on Elder Yun Yi's body and the Ice Soul Dao Sword on Elder Xiao Shuang's body began to emit sword sounds one after another. The spiritual swords resonated, as if they were meeting an opponent in chess, and they were competing against each other.
Elder Xiao Shuang and Elder Yun Yi were both shocked when they saw this. As sword masters, they could naturally feel the extraordinary nature of this spiritual sword. The sound of the sword's cry was melodious and deep, and it was clearly a seventh-level Taoist sword of extremely high quality.
The eyes of Elder Xiao Shuang and Elder Yun Yi were both attracted by this spiritual sword.
Li Mu smiled slightly, turned around and handed the spirit sword to Qiu Yuanhong with both hands, indicating: "Elder Qiu, you have lived up to your trust. This Dao sword is called 'Lanyuan'. I recently completed the refining commissioned by Elder Ning." Please take a look at the Dao sword I made.”
Qiu Yuanhong’s eyes lit up and he happily took the Lan Yuan Dao sword with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He gently touched the sword body and felt the cold touch. Feel the powerful sword intent contained in it.
"Hahaha! Elder Li really surprised me!" Qiu Yuanhong watched Li Mu laugh heartily and praised excitedly: "Elder Li, you are indeed the treasure of our sect! This blue sword The Yuan Dao Sword is not only gorgeous in appearance, but its sword power is also unfathomable. Elder Ning must be satisfied with such a high-level Dao sword!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Yuanhong looked into the depths of the Hidden Sword Valley and took a deep breath. In one breath, he shouted in a loud voice: "Elder Ning, your Dao sword has been refined. Please come out and test it!"
As Qiu Yuanhong finished speaking, there was a slight fluctuation in the depths of Hidden Sword Valley, and then, a figure streaked across the sky like a meteor, and appeared in front of Qiu Yuanhong in an instant.
The person who came was wearing a green Taoist robe, with a thin face, a fairy-like temperament between his brows, and eyes as deep as ancient wells. His long hair was tied on top of his head, fixed with a simple hosta, and followed him The steps sway gently. His steps are light and steady, and each step seems to echo the natural atmosphere around him, giving people an otherworldly feeling.
Elder Ning Cheng appeared and stood in front of Qiu Yuanhong. His eyes were instantly attracted by the seventh-level Taoist sword in his hand - Lan Yuan. His eyes flashed with unbelievable surprise, as if he had seen a close friend reunited after a long separation. His face was full of excitement.
"Elder Qiu, is this my Taoist soldier?" Elder Ning asked straight to the point with a hint of unbelievable surprise in his voice.
"Exactly, Elder Ning." Qiu Yuanhong smiled slightly, handed over the Lan Yuan Sword with both hands, and said: "Elder Li worked hard day and night, and finally lived up to his trust and completed this seventh-level Taoist sword - Lan Yuan.”
"Okay, okay!" Elder Ning excitedly accepted the Lanyuan Dao Sword and couldn't help but cheer. He stretched out his hand and stroked the sword body, feeling the coldness and sharpness coming from the sword body.
The next moment, Elder Ning Cheng held the hilt of the Lan Yuan Dao Sword, condensed a powerful spiritual power in his hand, and refined it with all his strength.
Lanyuan Taoist sword suddenly buzzed, and the blue sword light on the sword flickered, like the bright stars in the night sky, dazzling.
Elder Ning Cheng successfully refined the 'Lanyuan'. He closed his eyes tightly and concentrated on feeling every change of the Lanyuan Dao Sword. He clearly felt the spirituality in the sword and his own spiritual power. Blending with each other, it seems that there is an invisible tie connecting them closely.
As time goes by, the light of Lan Yuan Dao Sword gradually becomes soft and stable, as if it has reached a perfect integration with Elder Ning’s spiritual power. Elder Ning took a deep breath and suddenly opened his eyes. , eyes flashing with joy.
Elder Ning Cheng gently waved the Lan Yuan Dao Sword, and Lan Yuan suddenly erupted with a dazzling sword light, tearing apart a large space in an instant. The surrounding air seemed to be pulled by this powerful sword energy, forming air vortices. .
“What a sword!” Elder Ning Cheng praised, with a satisfied smile on his face. He looked at the Lan Yuan sword and said to himself excitedly: “Lanyuan, from today on, I am yours. Master.”
Lanyuan Daojian also seemed to feel Ning Cheng’s joy, and the blue sword light on the sword became even more dazzling, as if in response to his declaration.
"Congratulations, Elder Ning, for winning the magic weapon." Elder Yun Yi smiled slightly and congratulated Elder Ning Cheng.
"Congratulations, Elder Ning!" Elder Xiao Shuang gave Li Mu a meaningful look and followed Yun Yi in congratulating him.
"Hahaha, we are all happy together!" Ning Cheng laughed loudly, looking at the Black Emperor Dao Sword and Ice Breaking Dao Sword they carried with them, and responded.
"Elder Ning, this is Elder Li who refines the Lanyuan Dao Sword. He happens to have something to ask for!" Qiu Yuanhong introduced Li Mu with a smile: "With the help of three elders, this matter will definitely be accomplished. "
"Elder Li, your skills in weapon refining are unparalleled! Lan Yuan Dao is very suitable for me." Ning Cheng perked up, turned to Li Mu with eyes full of gratitude, and said seriously: "Elder Li's business. It’s my business, just say it.”
“That’s right, Elder Li!” Yun Yi agreed.
Xiao Shuang looked at Li Mu and said nothing, but her attitude of "willing to help" also showed her attitude.
Li Mu nodded, thanked the three of them, and then told the story of the threat posed by the Immortal Demon Lord to him, describing in detail the strength and threat of the Immortal Demon Lord, as well as the upcoming crisis.
After hearing this, Yun Yi frowned, obviously aware of the seriousness of the situation, and said solemnly: "I have heard about the Immortal Demon Lord. He is indeed a difficult opponent, but Elder Li has Yun is obligated to ask for it."
"Immortal Demon Lord! Can you please meet him for a while?" Xiao Shuang agreed with a stern look on his face.
"Elder Li, if you have any plans, just come. I will cooperate fully, just in time for Lan Yuan Dao Sword to test its edge and kill this demon." Ning Cheng looked at Li Mu, with a hint of murder in his eyes. Yes, he agreed.
"Li thanked the three elders for their help!" Li Mu was overjoyed when he heard this.
Immediately, Li Mu elaborated his plan to the three of them, preparing to show up to meet with the Immortal Demon Lord's internal agents three months later. At that time, he would follow and ambush him and annihilate him in one fell swoop. (End of this chapter)
