black and white sword gate
A man wearing white clothes, with a mustache, a white long sword hanging on his left waist, and a white jade belt around his waist. He looks to be about thirty years old. He is walking along the stone steps towards the Black and White Sword Gate step by step. Main hall.
A white earring the size of a fist hangs from his left ear. The long white hair on the right half of his head hangs like a waterfall from his right eye to his collarbone, while the left half is bald, forming a sharp contrast between the left and right sides.
This person is the master of the Black and White Sword Sect, Jian Baizi, who is called White Sword by the monks in the Western Continent.
In the brightly lit hall, shiny wooden chairs were placed on both sides of the hall. A man dressed in black, with a mustache, a long sword hanging on his right waist, and a jade belt wrapped around his waist, was holding a letter in his left hand. Holding his left wrist with his right hand, he walked back and forth in the temple with his hands behind his back.
There is an earring hanging on his right ear. The long black hair on the left half of his head hangs from his left eye to his collarbone, but there is no hair on the right half.
Different from Jian Baizi, his mustache is black, the sword at his waist is also black, and similarly, his jade belt and earrings are all black.
He is Jian Baizi's elder brother, the master of the Black and White Sword Sect, and Jian Heizi, who is also known as Black Sword.
When Jian Baizi arrived at the hall, Jian Heizi immediately stopped and stood, casting his eyes on him who had not yet crossed the threshold of the hall.
Jian Baizi held the hilt of the sword with his left hand, raised his foot and crossed the threshold of the hall. As he walked, he asked: "Brother, what happened?"
Jian Heizi handed him the letter in his hand and said with a sad look on his face: "You should read this first."
Jian Baizi took the letter in his hand with some confusion. After reading it for a while, he looked at Jian Heizi with some confusion and said: "The Huangkong Chamber of Commerce invites casual cultivators to participate, why do you still invite us?"
Jian Heizi shook his head and said: "Not only us, Haoran Mountain, the Butcher Alliance, and the three major sects of the Haizong have also received invitations from the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce."
Jian Baizi snorted coldly, slapped the letter on the table, and said with dissatisfaction: "The Huangkong Chamber of Commerce is growing day by day, and our sects are just fat meat to them, and they are delivered to their mouths. Fatty.”
"If it weren't for the Alliance of Heroes, Mad Sect, Ten Thousand Poison Mountains, Tianlong Mansion and other forces, the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce would have long thought of annexing our Sword Sect."
Jian Heizi said: "That's right! Once we all submit to the Royal Sky Chamber of Commerce, the strength of the Royal Sky Chamber of Commerce will be the only huge force in the Western Continent."
Jian Baizi said carefully: "Brother, forgive me for being blunt, our Black and White Sword Sect cannot be absorbed by the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce. Even if we want to submit to them, it is not now."
"We receive source stones, elixirs, weapons and other resources from the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce every month. Why does the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce give us gifts? It's not just trying to win over us."
"If we are absorbed by the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce, then these resources will have nothing to do with us, and we will have to guard the portal for the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce."
"If we really start a war from now on, we can only become cannon fodder for the Royal Sky Chamber of Commerce."
Jian Heizi nodded slowly. Obviously, he also saw the ambition of the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce and agreed with what Jian Baizi said just now. He said: "Brother, I mean the same thing. Our Black and White Sword Sect is caught between the major forces and wants to survive in the cracks." , we must always be in a neutral position, otherwise we cannot keep it.”
Although the Black and White Sword Sect is not the opponent of the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce, other forces will not sit back and watch the Black and White Sword Sect's destruction and let the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce "devour" them in one go, thereby once again expanding their own power.
It is precisely because of this that the Black and White Sword Sect can

The "doorsteps" of the major forces have survived for so long, and they receive gifts from the surrounding major forces every year and every month, allowing them to gradually grow.
But once the Black and White Sword Sect submits to the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce, it will undoubtedly be at odds with those big forces. If it cannot receive resources, the development of the Sword Sect will also be suppressed by the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce. Every year and every month, it has to submit to the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce. Hand over the source stone and treasure.
Jian Heizi was silent for a long time and said worriedly: "I'm just afraid that the surrounding forces will not be able to withstand the pressure of the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce. By then, our Black and White Sword Sect will be isolated, and the consequences will be disastrous."
He doesn't want to become a pawn of the Royal Sky Chamber of Commerce, and he doesn't want to be a member of the League of Heroes or an affiliated force of Ten Thousand Poison Mountains. Now he is in a dilemma.
The Huangkong Chamber of Commerce will not open the ghost domain for no reason and send invitations to surrounding forces. Obviously, the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce has regarded their sect as its own territory.
Jian Heizi also thought about the meaning of the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce's approach, but he would not lead his disciples to submit to the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce unless it was absolutely necessary.
Jian Baizi frowned and thought about it, then he felt that it was time for the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce to have a showdown. He said: "Brother, I will take someone with me this time to find out the tone of the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce."
Jian Heizi said: "That's fine. We have received so many benefits from the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce, so we can't let others down on this matter."
Jian Baizi hesitated for a while and said, "Then...who should I take with me?"
Jian Heizi thought for a moment and said: "This is also a big opportunity for training. Bring more potential disciples. As for who will take the lead, well... Ming Cong is the leader of the younger generation, let him Let’s take someone to explore the ghost land.”
"Okay! Then I will select people and let them prepare. In a few days, I will take them to the ghost realm." With that said, Jian Baizi turned and walked out of the hall.
Jian Baizi was about to step out of the threshold of the hall, and immediately retracted the soles of his feet, turned around and reminded: "Brother, there is another letter urging us to kill that kid as soon as possible."
Jian Heizi smiled faintly, as if he had expected this. He said with a smile: "Don't be anxious, call back all the disciples who were sent out, and wait until the people in the north send the other half of the reward before we take action."
"Also! If you write back to them, tell them that someone in the Western Continent is protecting that kid and ask them to add more Source Stones."
Jian Baizi stood there and did not leave. He spoke to dissuade him: "Brother, this is our first time to cooperate with them. It's not good to do this..."
Jian Heizi smiled casually and said firmly: "There's nothing wrong with it! Just do as I say. They don't dare to come to the Western Continent anyway. You write back and tell them that if there is no reward, then we will There’s nothing I can do to help.”
"By the way, let them send over the other half of the reward first."
Jian Baizi was a little confused: "This..."
Jian Heizi glared and said seriously: "Just do as I say. To deal with those people in the north, we should be tougher. If you have the ability, let them kill them themselves. If you don't have the ability, just provide more Source Stones." "
"You have to understand that we have sent several groups of people, nearly a hundred disciples. The people who are searching for people all over the mountains and plains are suffering and suffering. We cannot let them run away in vain."
Jian Baizi smiled awkwardly and said: "I'm afraid that the people in the north will not only refuse to agree, but will also withhold the remaining half of the reward and find other sects to do it. When things develop to that point, our business will be ruined." ”
Jian Heizi said calmly:

"If he wants to find someone else, he will go find him. Not only is that kid very powerful, but he also has a tough life. Unless the remuneration is enough, there is no need to do this business."
"Brother is right." Jian Baizi said, then turned and walked out of the hall.
----
Under the dim night, in the valley between the two cliffs, there was a blazing fire.
Ziyang, Xiaoliu, and Huxiong were surrounding the fire, and there was a fat hare on the fire in front of them.
Zi Yang, who was sitting on the stone, stood up and looked toward the entrance of the valley, but found no one. He turned to look at Huxiong and asked: "We have been waiting since noon until now, and there is not even a single person. How are those of your men?" Will it come?"
Hu Xiong crossed his arms across his chest and sat with his back against the stone wall. After hearing Zi Yang's words, he replied: "This road is very hidden. If Yue Wenquan continues to capture people to dig mines for him, people will definitely be killed." This is an ambush."
Zi Yang came to sit down by the fire and said, "We don't have much time. If we can't get the Origin Stone again, we may not be able to make it in time for this trip to the Ghost Realm."
Xiao Liu, who was holding his chin with both hands, looked at the flames in front of him and said listlessly: "Don't talk about the Origin Stone. If this continues, we won't be able to eat enough."
Tiger Bear picked up the kettle placed on the stones, drank a few sips, and said: "Although this valley is rugged and difficult to navigate, it is the only way to reach Fan City and other places. Just wait patiently. Maybe someone will come soon."
Upon hearing this, Zi Yang opened his eyes slightly and said solemnly: "Hey, let's talk first! We are not bandits, and we can't attack innocent passers-by just for a little source stone."
He knew very well that Huxiong was a bandit, and he must have done things like robbing homes and houses, so there was no guarantee that he would not attack people on the way.
In order for him to control himself, Ziyang would explain the rules clearly in advance. Otherwise, if someone walked through the valley later, he would be really worried that tigers and bears would come up and snatch people's things.
Sure enough, after he finished speaking, Tiger Bear expressed his opinion.
He stared at the blazing flames and muttered: "In extraordinary times, you should do extraordinary things. In this world where the strong are respected, being a saint will not last long."
"When you meet those wealthy squires, you just ask them for some Origin Stones. They are very rich, so asking them for some Origin Stones is nothing. Besides, we are not killing people."
After hearing his words, Ziyang didn't say anything, but looked at him intentionally or unintentionally.
Obviously, Zi Yang did not agree with what Hu Xiong said just now. For him, now is not an extraordinary period, and they can wait here for a few more days.
Xiaoliu quietly observed Ziyang's expression and could tell what he meant. She said with a smile: "Ziyang, let's not steal or rob. Let's borrow some Origin Stones from passers-by, right?"
When Zi Yang heard this, he was slightly startled at first, and then immediately said displeased: "Borrow me some Origin Stone? You can't think of it!"
"When we stop people on their way, they will naturally think that we are robbers and bandits. If we are a person of low level and weak strength, if you borrow the Origin Stone from others, how dare they refuse to give it to you!"
Xiaoliu chuckled and said, "If you borrow something, you must pay it back..."
Zi Yang said with a strong attitude: "No! This kind of thing is no different from robbery. Once you rob someone, you want to rob them a second time, and a third time. Gradually, robbing people and things becomes a habit of yours."
When he said this, Xiao Liu said nothing more, and Hu Xiong was afraid of Zi Yang's strength and did not dare to disobey him.
