On a mountaintop outside Wandao City, a stream of light came quickly, and an old man landed on the top of the mountain. His cloudy eyes looked into the distance, and he exuded an icy aura.
This person was obviously the ancestor of the Sword Sect who was chasing him out of the city. After chasing for a while, he suddenly realized that he could not catch up with the speed of Ye Yuntian's flying boat.
This made the ancestor of the Sword Sect very frustrated. As the ancestor of the Sword Sect, he was also very prosperous when he dominated Xiao Fengtian. Now a junior has escaped from his hands, which makes him find it difficult to accept for a while. Therefore, he has a lot of influence on Ye. Yuntian's killing intent became even more intense.
But now there is no trace of Ye Yuntian and he can't be found at all. As for killing Ye Yuntian, it is impossible. He didn't stay here for too long before returning to Daozong.
After returning to Dao Sect, he immediately informed his subordinates and asked Sect Master Yi Yuanhong to find him when he returned.
It was not until the early morning of the next day that Yi Yuanhong dragged his tired body into the study of the ancestor of the Sword Sect and reported the situation of chasing Xu Zixin.
"Xu Zixin's flying boat is a middle-grade flying boat. I led a few elders to chase them to the Huangling Ridge in the south, and attacked and shot down their flying boat from a long distance. However, the Huangling Ridge was too large, and the skills practiced by those two guys were They were all very powerful, and their auras were restrained, so it was very difficult to search. Moreover, the boy in black could observe our actions. After we searched for two hours, he solved our two elders. When I saw that something was not going well, I gathered everyone together. Withdrew."
Yi Yuanhong felt very frustrated. Although he had caught up, it was worse than not catching up. If he did not retreat in time, he might be defeated by Xu Zixin one by one, and the losses would be even more severe.
"What is the origin of that young man in black and Gu Yun?" The ancestor of the Sword Sect did not criticize Yi Yuanhong for not bringing them back, but asked this question.
Originally, the ancestor of the Sword Sect didn't take Gu Yun seriously, but ended up attracting two people to fight in Wandao City, killing some strong men, and then walked away. Even though he personally showed up, he couldn't keep the two of them. It’s really embarrassing to be thrown into grandma’s house.
Yi Yuanhong explained: "Gu Yun is from Xiao Xuantian in the upper realm, and he accidentally ended up in Xiao Fengtian. The young man in black should have come specifically to find Gu Yun in the lower realm of Xiao Xuantian; as for Ye Yuntian, I guess it is I made friends with Gu Yun when he was just living in Xiao Fengtian. I, Gu Yun, have a good status in the upper realm, but I didn’t expect that this guy in the lower realm could jump from the ninth level of Xuanwu to the fourth level of Kailing Realm. Of course, I also didn’t expect that Ye Yuntian would also I know Gu Yun, and Ye Yuntian is already so powerful!"
Yi Yuanhong has been the leader of the Sword Sect for more than twenty years, and he is very resourceful and calculating. However, this time the changes that happened in the Yi family completely lost his control, and there were too many unexpected things.
If he had known that a mere Gu Yun would cause such trouble, he would have killed him with one sword, and then he could devote all his energy to dealing with Ye Yuntian. This time, not only was Gu Yun rescued, but the fragment of the godhead in his hand was also destroyed. Ye Yuntian took it away, lost his wife and lost his troops.
For Yi Yuanhong, it was fine that Gu Yun was rescued, but the missing piece made him furious!
"The young man in black and Gu Yun will definitely find a way to return to Xiao Xuantian. They just need to go to Yunjie City to arrange in advance and stop them before they return to Xiao Xuantian. Although this is a bit troublesome, it can be solved. The key at hand is Ye Yuntian, what is the piece of iron that Ye Yuntian took away from you?" asked the ancestor of the Sword Sect.
Yi Yuanhong pondered for a while, thinking that since the fragments were lost now, there was no need to cover them up, and explained: "About thirty years ago, Yu Junhong and Hu Zhanpeng and I were sitting outside Yunjie City and talking, high in the sky. The sky suddenly cracked, and a space crack of nearly a thousand feet appeared. At that time, the pressure from that space crack was extremely strong, as if the entire sky was about to be torn apart. The three of us looked up in panic and looked at the sudden appearance of the crack. The space crack in the space was at a loss for a while. Fortunately, the space crack did not continue to expand. It didn't take long before it slowly healed. At the last moment of healing, four iron pieces fell from it."
"We looked at these four ownerless pieces of iron and knew that this was most likely our chance, so we thought for a moment, jumped up at the same time, each of us caught one piece, and then we went to grab the fourth piece at the same time. , took the fourth fragment and fell into the territory of the Eighteen Spirit Mountains controlled by the college. Later, after my investigation, I found that the fourth fragment fell into the hands of an island owner in the Tianhe Spirit Mountain, so I sent Xue Shun to look for this person there. Fragments, Ye Yuntian killed Zheng Xin not long ago and obtained the iron pieces in Zheng Xin's hands, and learned that one of the iron pieces was in my hand."
"Ye Yuntian came to Ten Thousand Blades City mainly for the iron piece in my hand, and saving Gu Yun was just a casual act."
The ancestor of the Sword Sect thought for a moment and then asked: "What's special about the iron piece?"
Yi Yuanhong said: "The inside of the iron piece formed a space of its own. At first, I could only use my mind to pry into it. Later, as my cultivation level entered the realm of spiritual enlightenment, I could briefly enter it. There was a mirror there. Improving spiritual skills and exercises, the exercises I practice are improved, so my cultivation has been able to enter the fourth transformation of the spiritual realm in so many years."
"The training techniques you gave me have also been improved?" the Sword Sect ancestor asked.
Yi Yuanhong nodded.
The ancestor of the Sword Sect asked again: "How big is the internal space?"
Yi Yuanhong shook his head and said: "The inner space gave me a very dangerous feeling. I only dared to move in front of the mirror when I entered it. Whenever I wanted to cross the mirror to check inside, the inside would be exposed. If there is a murderous intention, even if I reach the fourth transformation of the Kailing Realm, I will still be unable to fight back when facing that murderous intention."
The ancestor of the Knife Sect fell into deep thought. He remembered the crystal black stone that Ye Yuntian briefly avoided. It looked much more advanced than Yi Yuanhong's iron piece.
"After so many years of investigation and understanding, even a heaven-grade spiritual weapon cannot have such power. I guess that the iron piece is most likely to be separated from the legendary fairy weapon."
Yi Yuanhong sent Xue Shun to collect the fragments, and told him that they were just fragments of heaven-grade spiritual weapons, because the fairy weapons were legendary existences for the warriors of Xiao Fengtian, which were too distant and ethereal.
Even the ancestor of the Sword Sect's expression changed when he heard about the immortal weapon.
Yi Yuanhong added: "I suspect that these four iron pieces all contain internal space, but the things inside are definitely different, because Yu Junhong and Hu Zhanpeng were both in the seventh level of Xuanwu when we got the iron pieces. Now thirty years have passed. Yu Junhong has reached the Seventh Transformation of the Open Spirit Realm, and Hu Zhanpeng’s cultivation level is no weaker than that of the ancestors. It’s hard for me to imagine what is actually contained in the iron pieces they obtained.”
"You're confused! You know that Ye Yuntian got the fourth piece of iron, but you don't want to snatch it away. Instead, you want your son to marry a woman. It's like picking up sesame seeds and throwing away watermelons! I really want to pick off your head and fuck you Look, is your head full of paste?"
After hearing the whole story, the ancestor of the Sword Sect couldn't help but angrily yelled.
Yi Yuanhong sighed again. When he learned that the fragment was in Ye Yuntian's hand, he thought it was in his bag and could be taken at any time, but he did not expect Ye Yuntian to grow so fast.
After hearing his ancestor's reprimand, Yi Yuanhong really had nothing to say. Looking back on the incident, he felt that he was extremely stupid.
The ancestor of the Knife Sect quickly calmed down and asked again: "At that time, four pieces of iron fell from the cracks in space. The three of you each got one, and the other one was obtained by an island owner from Tianhe Lingshan. , but how does Ye Yuntian know the secret of the fragment?"
Hearing the ancestor's question, Yi Yuanhong was also stunned. He sorted out the matter in his mind and slowly said: "Ye Yuntian is only eighteen years old this year. He was not born at all when the fragments fell. In this way, he must have learned the secret of the fragments from Zheng Xin, the island owner of Tianhe Lingshan."
The ancestor of the Sword Sect agreed very much with Yi Yuanhong's speculation. He thought for a while and then asked: "Then do you think Ye Yuntian's rapid improvement in strength has something to do with him getting the fragment?"
Yi Yuanhong didn't think about this problem for too long and said directly: "I have thought about this problem after seeing Ye Yuntian's strength. When Ye Yuntian participated in the entrance examination of Zhongxing Academy, he got the fragment in Zheng Xin's hand. As a result, In less than a year, his cultivation level has reached the eighth level of Xuanwu from the realm of high martial arts, and the spiritual skills he controls are also very strong. They are not the inheritance of the academy at all! Therefore, I can conclude that Ye Yuntian can progress so quickly, and with The fragments in Zheng Xin’s hands are definitely inseparable!”
The ancestor frowned and thought for a while, then said: "But Zheng Xin has been holding the fragment for thirty years, but he still hasn't become much stronger?"
Yi Yuanhong didn't expect this. After his ancestor brought it up, he thought for a long time and couldn't think of a reasonable explanation. He could only say indifferently: "Does it vary from person to person?"
To say this is obviously a lack of confidence.
The ancestor pondered for a long time and asked: "Who else knows that Ye Yuntian has Zheng Xin's fragment in his hand?"
Yi Yuanhong knew what the ancestor meant and immediately said: "I have done this very secretly. Only Xue Shun and I know about it. Yu Junhong and Hu Zhanpeng don't know about it for the time being."
The ancestor stretched out his hand and tapped Yi Yuanhong more than a dozen times, planting a restriction on him, and then commanded with an expressionless face: "For the sake of dedicating your skills to me, I will spare your life." . But this matter must not be spread. You go and deal with Xue Shun."
Yi Yuanhong cupped his hands and said: "Yes, I hope that the ancestor can successfully take back the fragment in Ye Yuntian's hand. This will be of no harm to our sword sect. I was too greedy before and did not dedicate this piece of iron in time. I really deserve to die, and I will unconditionally obey my ancestor’s orders from now on, and I will have no regrets even if I die.”
Yi Yuanhong told the truth about this matter, which was actually a big gamble. After all, the ancestor of the Sword Sect might have killed him in order to block the news about the fragment. After all, the temptation of the fairy weapon was really not something that ordinary people could resist.
But if he doesn't explain it now, when the ancestor learns about it later, he will definitely slap him to death.
He also knew a little about his ancestor's personality, and knew that there was still a chance of survival if he spoke out, so he told the truth.
The ancestor was quite satisfied with Yi Yuanhong's performance. As for Yi Yuanhong not handing over the iron piece at that time, it was completely human nature. Who is willing to give away the opportunity he got?
"You find a way to let Hu Zhanpeng and Yu Junhong know that the iron piece in your hand has been taken away by Ye Yuntian, and bring them into the game."
The ancestor of the Sword Sect told Yi Yuanhong.
The ancestor of the Sword Sect fought against Ye Yuntian and felt very strange. He wanted to seize the iron piece in Ye Yuntian's hand alone, but always felt that the success rate was not that high. He also pulled Yu Junhong and Hu Zhanpeng in, and he fished in troubled waters in the dark. , maybe you will get more than the two iron pieces in Ye Yuntian's hand.
"Yes!" Yi Yuanhong raised his hands and retreated.
…
At night.
The barren mountains south of Wandao City.
There was a bonfire flickering like a star in the sky.
Sitting next to the bonfire were two people, Gu Yun and Xu Zixin.
"It's been so long, and no one from the Sword Sect has come. Those who wanted to come to the Sword Sect to follow us have gone back."
Gu Yun said softly, he looked at the north, thinking of Ye Yuntian's back, his expression was quite complicated.
Xu Zixin opened his eyes and couldn't help but sigh. After he killed the two sword sect elders, he realized that the people pursued by the sword sect had begun to retreat. He wanted to help Ye Yuntian attract firepower, so he came to this barren mountain ridge. A bonfire was lit.
But after such a long time, no one came. It was obvious that the Dao Zong people had retreated.
"Senior Brother Xu, do you think Ye Yuntian will be fine?" Gu Yun asked softly, as if speaking too loudly would lead to unwanted results.
Xu Zixin said: "Since Ye Yuntian said that he is sure, we should believe him, and since we have escaped, we can also explain some problems."
Gu Yun nodded seriously.
Xu Zixin stood up and said: "Let's go to Yunjie City first, and then we will find out the specific details."
Gu Yun also stood up and followed Xu Zixin onto the flying boat again.
The two of them drove the flying boat and quickly headed towards Yunjie City.
"Senior Brother Xu, I see that all the contestants in Little Fengtian's Yunling Competition have reached the eighth and ninth level of Xuanwu. They are much stronger than the younger generation of our Sword Cloud Sect. Isn't Little Xuantian's overall strength not as good as that of Little Fengtian?" Gu Yun stood on the flying boat and asked Xu Zixin.
Her cultivation level is considered to be the leader of the younger generation in Sword Cloud Sect, but compared with the warriors who participated in the battle for Yunling, the gap is not small.
Xu Zixin explained: "The age limit for participating in the Yunling Battle is under sixty years old. Those contestants are basically over forty years old. When you reach that age, you will be much better than them. There is no need to underestimate yourself; our sword The younger generation of nephews from the Yun Sect are all under twenty-four, so they appear to be not as strong as the younger generation of Xiao Fengtian. Besides, our ancestors from the Sword Yun Sect have reached the Spirit Forging Realm and are much stronger than the old guy from the Sword Sect. "
In order to give Gu Yun confidence, Xu Zixin, who never spoke much, explained in detail.
Gu Yun felt much better after hearing Xu Zixin's explanation, but she suddenly thought of Ye Yuntian, "What about Ye Yuntian? He doesn't seem to be very old?"
Xu Zixin's face was stunned, and after holding it in for a long time, he said: "This guy is a pervert!"
