In the stone room, the two old men sat quietly on both sides of the chess table, playing games with each other. Their aura is like an ancient well without ripples. No matter how turbulent their hearts are, they look calm and calm on the outside. Their wrinkles and gray hair seem to be traces of time, testifying to their existence and wisdom.
The elder one, Yang Linming, one of the great elders of the Snow Sect, was wearing a white cloudy robe, with the hem of the robe gently swinging, like the traces of dancing crane shadows. His face was like an ancient tree, both hard and weathered, and his pair of deep eyes revealed wisdom and calmness in understanding the world. His fingers were long and powerful, like a musician, moving gracefully on the chessboard. Every move he makes, whether it's a smile or a shake of the head, is full of detachment from worldly affairs and a deep understanding of chess.
The other one, You Rencheng, the only supreme elder of the Xuehan Sect, was wearing a black velvet robe with silver snowflake patterns embroidered on it, symbolizing his identity and the sect he belonged to. Compared with Yang Linming, his face looks more weathered, and his deep-set eyes seem to hide endless stories and wisdom. His white hair is as white as snow, giving people a quiet and profound feeling. His fingers are short and strong, and he plays chess as fast as lightning, which is dizzying. He is full of aura and makes his presence felt no matter where he is.
They started a fierce contest on the chessboard. Yang Linming used his deep internal strength and unique insights into chess to try to break Yourencheng's defense; while Yourencheng calmly used his unique layout and well-thought-out strategy to defeat Yourencheng. Respond to Yang Linming's attack. Both of their eyes were locked on the chessboard, as if they and the chessboard were the only ones left in the world.
Every movement of Yang Linming seems to be singing, singing the rhythm of chess and the vicissitudes of history; every movement of You Rencheng seems to be telling a story, telling the history and inheritance of Xuehan Sect. Their hands danced on the chessboard, just like dancers moving freely on the stage, and every move seemed to condense their wisdom and emotions. Their eyes were firm and piercing, like a cheetah locking its prey, never letting go of any opportunity.
The atmosphere between the two was like an arrow on a string, tense and exciting. Every move they make will leave a faint scent of ink in the air, which is the unique scent of the Snow Sect's secret ink. It is like plum blossoms in winter, cool and fragrant. And every time the ink fragrance spreads, it seems to be telling the long history and unique culture of Xuezong.
In this fierce contest, the images of the two old men became more and more distinct. They are not only opponents on the chessboard, but also wise men on the road of life. Every move and move they make conveys their wisdom and experience, as if they are telling the ups and downs, joys and sorrows of life.
Time seemed to have frozen in this stone room, and only the chess pieces on the chessboard were constantly changing. The figures of the two old men cast long shadows on the stone wall, as if they wanted to fill the stone chamber. Their breath, their movements, their eyes, and their voices all seemed to be frozen in this stone chamber, becoming an eternal picture.
"Mr. Yang, is there anything interesting going on in the Central Plains?"
"No, what interesting things can happen if you are with a group of old immortals." Yang Linming made another move, "But I have heard a lot of things."
"Oh? Can you tell me in detail?"
"I heard that there is a large sect on the edge of the East China Sea. I don't know what it is called. I only know that there is a supreme leader of the Nether Clan in the sect. He looked at the sky at night and saw something incredible. He was stunned for several years as if he had been punished by heaven. Only then did he wake."
"Something incredible? What do you mean?"
"I don't know, it's just that the Supreme Master is in the same realm as you and me. With this disaster, his realm has dropped a big level." The sound of Yang Linming's falling chess piece was a little louder.
"I've heard of being punished by heaven for observing the sky, but this is the first time I've heard of someone like you and me being able to drop a big rank."
"Let it go as it is, but..." Yang Linming raised his eyes silently and looked at You Rencheng, the supreme leader of Xuehan Sect, with the chess piece in his hand stopped in mid-air.
"Can you finish what you said in one go?" You Rencheng felt that Yang Linming was good at everything except talking.
"Don't worry, but after a few years, the Supreme Being suddenly woke up and a great avenue broke through to the eighth level!" Yang Linming's chess failed.
"Bang." Hearing this, the chess piece in You Rencheng's hand fell from his hand. He also raised his eyes and looked at Yang Linming: "Old man, are you not lying to me again?"
"It's true! You are the old guy, but there is one more thing. That day Cefu..."
Just when You Rencheng wanted Yang Linming to speak properly, he felt that the cave where the two of them were was shaking. The two elders held their teacups steady and looked towards where the power came from.
...
"Look! The double-sword king Yisen is fighting with the disciples of the Xuehan Sect!"
"Where is it? Let's go over and have a look!"
...
The people who were originally watching under the ring were silent, and you could hear the drop of a needle; the people who had just arrived were extremely noisy, talking about each other, and at the same time, many disciples were gathering here.
On the ring, Wang Yisen's clothes were disheveled, and blood was flowing from a few blood marks. His eyes were red, and the speed of his sword only increased, not decreasing, and every sword lacked strength and speed.
The sword was swung out just now, and the power contained in it turned into sword energy. Although it was dodged by Long Yu, it hit a thousand-year-old Snow Spirit White Cloud Pine next to the Xuehan Sect's Xuehan Mansion.
And this Snow Spirit Baiyun Pine was impartial and hit one side of the wall of Xuehan Sect.
Long Yu was like a walker, dodging the double swords coming from the dark side again and again while flashing on the ring; and like a playful child swinging a willow branch, he swung his sword again and again, and blood was bound to flow out when the sword was raised.
Long Yu and Wang Yisen had gone back and forth for dozens of rounds. It wasn't that Long Yu couldn't defeat them, but he just wanted to adapt to single-sword combat faster.
Compared with Wang Yisen, Long Yu was not only unscathed but also had no change in his breath.
"Hiss, which sect's disciple is that? This arena battle is like taking a tour to enjoy the scenery!" You Rencheng also sighed slightly when he saw this scene.
"The foundation of the gray Taoist robe is six layers of heaven. Not to mention why the gap between the Taoist robe and the realm is so big, the gray robe and the purple robe will also be arranged to compete together?" Yang Linming couldn't help but take a sip of tea and didn't take it to heart. , the Sixth Heaven and the Nineth Heaven, the Snow Sect is not without it.
"Yang Dong, is that disciple in gray robe a disciple of the He sect? Why can he fight with gray robe in purple robe?" You Rencheng asked via voice transmission.
"Your Majesty, this person is Long Yu, a disciple of our sect's Seventh Peak. Just now, this disciple had a conflict with the Xue Nan Sect, and continuously injured one person in the orange robe, one in the yellow robe, and one in the blue robe from the Xuenan sect. The purple robe was sent here by Yang Hui who does not respect martial ethics." Yang Dong's voice was sincere and his meaning was clear: first, this dispute has nothing to do with me; second, this is all caused by Yang Hui.
"Zang Ling? When did our sect have disciples who reached the level of Zang Ling in the foundation building stage?" You Rencheng saw at a glance the spiritual energy surging in Long Yu's five internal organs, and his inner strength was endless.
"Zang Ling, has he cultivated to the realm of Zang Ling?" When Yang Dong looked at Long Yu again, his eyes changed again, and his expression was strange, "Does Ye Shaoqiu love his disciple so much?"
"Why don't you seem to understand anything? Am I the leader or are you the leader? Don't just stare at your daughter all day long and miss the important events of the sect. Just go back to the Snow Sect and stay." You Rencheng couldn't help but Somewhat annoyed.
In the Xuehan Sect, there is a long-standing rule: once it is discovered that a disciple in the Foundation Establishment Stage has reached the state of the dirty spirit while practicing physical training, he must immediately report it to You Rencheng, the Supreme Elder of the Xuehan Sect. Although this rule is unwritten, it is strictly enforced and no one can ignore it.
The origin of this rule can be traced back to when Yourencheng first came to the Xuehan Sect as the Supreme Prince. Yourencheng, who had just arrived at the Xuehan Sect at that time, established this rule.
However, there is no clear explanation for the specific reason for this rule. Some disciples speculated that this was to maintain the strength and status of the sect; some disciples believed that this might be to prevent some unforeseen dangers. However, no matter what the reason is, this rule is always adhered to.
The process of reporting to Supreme Elder You Rencheng usually goes like this: When a disciple in the foundation building stage discovers that he or she can cultivate the body to the realm of Zangling, he or she will immediately notify his or her master.
Master will further confirm this fact and then report it to the elders of the sect. The elders will hold a discussion and decide whether to report the news to the Supreme Elder You Rencheng. If they decide to report it, the elders will jointly write a letter describing the disciple's cultivation achievements in detail, and then send someone to the residence of Taishang Elder You Rencheng.
This process will not necessarily go smoothly in every situation.
Some disciples may choose to hide this fact for fear of being seen as showing off or fear of being seen as a threat. However, if a disciple chooses to conceal this fact, he or she may be punished by the sect for it.
So, even if some disciples are confused by this rule, they will still abide by it.
In general, although this rule of the Xuehan Sect is a bit vague, it is one of the important factors in maintaining the order of the sect and protecting the interests of the sect.
Although no one can explain the real reason for this rule, the disciples still strictly abide by it.
...
"Boom!" When the two elders put down their teacups, they saw Long Yu draw out his sword, and a burst of sword energy hit Wang Yisen's chest, causing him to fly out of the ring.
"That's it! The Avenue of Swords?" The two old fingers pointed at what they had just seen in unison, "Can disciples in the foundation-building stage understand the Avenue of Swords?"
The art of swords has become much more difficult to master than other magic weapons. Even the Snow Sect has few disciples who have mastered the art of swords during the foundation building period.
When Wang Yisen "flyed" out of the ring, there was a brief silence followed by cheers and shouts from the Xuehan Sect disciples.
"The rankings of foundation-building disciples should be updated!"
"Brother Long hides his secrets, he is truly a genius!"
...
The disciples of Xuehan Sect were all excited when they saw the scene in front of them. Long Yu, who they regarded as a weakling and had been ignored and bullied, actually defeated Wang Yisen of Xue Nan Sect. This news caused ripples in their hearts, as if a disruptive storm was coming.
They remembered those days when Long Yu was despised by everyone and even bullied until he had no power to fight back. However, he never complained, just endured it silently, and continued to practice hard at the same time. Now, the weakling in their eyes showed great strength and defeated Wang Yisen of Xue Nan Sect!
Seeing Long Yu standing there, the disciples of Xuehan Sect felt a sense of pride that they had never experienced before. They were excited about Long Yu's victory, which was the best response to their past bullying and ridicule of Long Yu.
However, there are some people who, while feeling excited, are also filled with fear. They were the ones who bullied and laughed at Long Yu, but now they are worried that Long Yu will take revenge. They knew that Long Yu's strength was not only reflected in his cultivation, but also in his mind and perseverance. Such a person will never forget those humiliations.
However, they could only pray in their hearts, hoping that Long Yu could forget the unpleasantness of the past and focus on his cultivation. At the same time, they also secretly made up their minds that they would never dare to bully or laugh at Long Yu again in the future.
This victory is not only a personal victory for Long Yu, but also a victory for the disciples of the Xuehan Sect. They saw that the weak can become strong, and that even those who are bullied have the power to fight back. Those who had bullied Long Yu experienced a profound lesson in excitement and fear.
