As these sword energies appeared, the two powerful men in the transformation stage frowned at the same time, and their bodies quickly retreated.
As the suppressive force on his body disappeared, and as those golden threads were cut off, the willow tree reestablished contact with Li Xiuping's body, and then traces of energy continued to spread throughout the body, and those golden threads were directly absorbed by Li Xiuping's body. Finally merged into the willow tree.
A man wearing a green gown slowly emerged, carrying a long sword on his back.
After the man in green shirt appeared, he said calmly: "It's really shameless for two powerful men in the transformation stage to bully a little kid."
The purple-robed Taoist narrowed his eyes and said, "Does the Sword Master want to interfere in worldly affairs?"
The green-shirted swordsman landed directly in front of Li Xiuping, and immediately a sword light completely enveloped Li Xiuping's body.
From the beginning to the end, he never looked back, just looking at the two powerful men in the transformation stage.
"You two must have made a mistake. It was you who interfered in the affairs of the spiritual world first, instead of me interfering in the affairs of the secular world."
The two powerful men in the transformation stage frowned and did not speak.
The green-shirted swordsman continued: "This Li Xiuping is now the junior uncle of Guanchao Academy. This time he is going north to attend the Seven Holy Lands Conference. Not only did you stop him without any reason, but you also wanted to take his life. Naturally, I can't just sit idly by."
The purple-robed Taoist snorted coldly and said: "If you interfere, it will be a blatant violation of the agreement in the Sword Washing Pool, and the Four Cities will never ignore it."
The swordsman in blue suddenly burst into laughter, and then said: "Sure enough, it's boring to reason with you people. It just so happens that I don't like to reason either. To put it bluntly, it's actually the group of old guys behind you who planned the Four Cities Meeting. If you don’t want to interfere, let’s just say that now, I’m going to kill two of you, and you two probably won’t have any objections.”
After saying that, the long sword on his back was unsheathed directly, and then charged directly towards the two powerful men in the transformation stage.
The sword energy was like autumn water, directly tearing the sky apart, then passed between the two powerful men in the transformation stage, and continued forward, towards the direction of the imperial city.
"I'm going to intervene today. I want to see who dares to stop it."
As soon as the words fell, sword energy suddenly crisscrossed around the two God-Transformation stage powerhouses, as if the entire space was split. Then the two God-Transformation stage powerhouses fell straight down and fell to the ground.
Where that long sword passed, it was as if the whole world was split to both sides. Starting from where the swordsman in blue was standing, the entire capital city was directly divided into two!
In the face of this kind of power, even the powerful ones in the God Transformation Stage can't resist it, let alone mortals.
The entire imperial city was divided into two, and the most noble emperor of the Xia Dynasty was also divided into two.
The world is silent, there is no sound.
As the long sword flew back and was carried on the back of the swordsman in blue, no one came forward. There was not even a sound in the entire world, as if everything had stopped.
The swordsman in blue shirt was about to turn around when he seemed to suddenly remember something and looked towards a distant attic.
On the attic, the two people's hearts instantly sank to the bottom, and it seemed difficult to even stand.
The blue-shirted swordsman said: "After all, I don't know if you two have thought that you will die too."
As soon as the words fell, the entire attic was directly divided into two by an invisible sword energy, and then the two people in the attic were directly turned into fly ash in the sword energy.
The green-shirted swordsman turned around at this moment, and the sword energy barrier around Li Xiuping disappeared out of thin air.
Li Xiuping's face was still pale at this moment, looking extremely weak and embarrassed.
Li Xiuping looked up at the man in front of him. He had never seen him before, but he felt familiar with him.
The swordsman in blue shirt smiled and said, "You should know me, right?"
Li Xiuping stood up with some difficulty and saluted, "I've met Senior Sword Master."
The green-robed swordsman waved his hand with a smile and said with a bitter smile: "I am no longer a sword master. There is no sword master in the world who can't even defeat a scholar."
He looked Li Xiuping up and down and said, "But Qi Wenxing is right. You are indeed a good swordsman. If you can become my disciple, you may be able to regain the title of Sword Master in the future."
Li Xiuping was stunned and didn't quite understand, but he still said: "I'm afraid I will disappoint Senior Sword Master, but I really have no intention of becoming a disciple."
The swordsman in green shirt smiled and said: "It's not up to you. Qi Wenxing and I have already agreed, and I don't want you to call me master. I just want to teach you what I have learned throughout my life, but you have to do one thing for me. .”
Li Xiuping frowned, but still asked: "What's the matter?"
The swordsman in blue shirt smiled and said: "Use your sword to defeat Qi Wenxing in an upright manner."
Li Xiuping said bitterly: "He is now my senior brother."
The green-robed swordsman nodded and said, "I know, that's what he meant. There's no rush. If you don't believe it, you can ask him later."
Li Xiuping could only frown, not knowing what to say.
The green-shirted swordsman continued: "In addition, this time you not only have to represent the Guanchao Academy, but also the Sword Washing Pond. Therefore, in this Seven Holy Lands Conference, you not only need to compete for the honor of the Guanchao Academy, but also for the Sword Washing Pond." The sword pool competes for honor."
Li Xiuping frowned again.
The swordsman in green shirt smiled and said: "Don't think too much, it's not that complicated, and you will get double benefits. Of course, you can also refuse, but I don't think you can finish the rest of the journey safely. If you agree , I will escort you to Piaoxue Country, I dare not say anything else, during the tribulation period, no one will dare to take action against you easily."
He looked at Li Xiuping and asked with a smile: "How is it? Is it a sure profit but no loss?"
Li Xiuping said bitterly: "If I could refuse, I'm afraid senior wouldn't show up."
The blue-shirted swordsman laughed and said, "Smart."
Li Xiuping suddenly asked: "Senior, what is your realm?"
Li Xiuping was not really curious, but wanted to know what state Qi Wenxing was, and what state the old shopkeeper Shuiyunjian was in. Since Qi Wenxing could defeat the sword master in front of him, as long as he knew the senior sword master in front of him, The realm of Qi Wenxing can naturally be inferred as to what realm he is.
The swordsman in blue shirt smiled and said: "Same as Qi Wenxing."
Li Xiuping frowned.
The blue-shirted swordsman laughed and said, "They are all in the integration stage."
Li Xiuping frowned and said, "Aren't all saints in the period of transcending tribulation?"
The green-shirted swordsman nodded and said: "That's true, but it's been a long time since there has been a sword cultivator in the Tribulation Stage in Xijian Pond. However, Xijian Pond is one of the Seven Holy Lands, and there must be someone with the title of Sword Master. If I take the place, won’t it fall on me?”
Li Xiuping shook his head and said: "I don't quite understand why senior can defeat Shopkeeper Liu, that is, Senior Brother Qi, since he is in the integration stage."
The swordsman in green shirt smiled and said: "Because I am a swordsman, and he is just a scholar."
Li Xiuping frowned and said, "Then why was Senior defeated by Senior Brother Qi again?"
The swordsman in blue shirt still smiled and said: "Because I am just a sword cultivator, and Qi Wenxing is not only a sword cultivator, but also a scholar."
Li Xiuping said in astonishment: "Is it that simple?"
The blue-shirted swordsman nodded and said, "It's that simple."
He then added: "Scholars are very powerful once they learn swordsmanship, so as you are the junior uncle of the academy and the heir of the sword-washing pool, you are destined to be invincible in the world from now on."
Being said like this, by a sword master who shocked the world, Li Xiuping himself felt a little embarrassed.
Li Xiuping felt that this senior sword master did not seem to be very serious, and said: "But Senior Brother Qi seems to be no match for Shopkeeper Liu."
The green-shirted swordsman was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "You are wrong, that's just because there is no fight. If there is a fight, even ten Liu Shan Lords will not be the opponent of Qi Wenxing. You only see Qi Wenxing being driven by Liu Shan Lord , but when Qi Wenxing was disobedient, Lord Liu Shan had no choice."
Li Xiuping was a little stunned.
First, he didn't expect Qi Wenxing to be so powerful. After all, in Li Xiuping's memory, he was just a handyman, cleaning tables and serving tea and water all day long.
Second, I didn't expect that a person like Qi Wenxing would be disobedient sometimes.
The swordsman in green shirt continued: "Let's go, pick up those from your academy, and then go to the sword pool together."
Li Xiuping nodded, and the two of them walked towards Shanquan Academy one after another.
Li Xiuping walked behind and asked, "Senior, can you tell me about the Seven Holy Lands?"
The swordsman in blue shirt asked: "Are you referring to the situation in the Seven Holy Lands or the conference held in the Seven Holy Lands this time?"
Li Xiuping said: "Both."
The swordsman in green shirt said: "Then let me tell you about this conference first."
He was silent for a moment, probably sorting out his words, and then said: "You have been to Penglai Immortal Boat, so you should have some understanding of the ruins. In this world, there are many ancient ruins left, but most of them have been occupied by some forces. Possession, like the Penglai Immortal Boat, is a special case, because it was the demon clan who first discovered the Penglai Immortal Boat, so after several negotiations, the ownership of the Penglai Immortal Boat could not be determined, which created the current situation."
Li Xiuping nodded.
The blue-shirted swordsman continued: "The Seven Holy Lands also discovered an ancient ruins, an ancient battlefield. This ruins is not like the Penglai Immortal Boat, which is only opened every hundred years, but can be entered at any time, but it is Too many people cannot enter. At the beginning, each of the seven holy places sent some people to enter, but some problems would inevitably arise, such as sect grievances, etc., so later it was decided to use a competition to determine their ownership. "
"Every three hundred years, the Seven Holy Lands will hold a competition, and disciples who are qualified to enter the ruins will be sent out. The winner will get the ownership of the ruins for the next three hundred years. This is why Qi Wenxing made a deal with me."
Having said this, he turned to look at Li Xiuping and said: "On behalf of Guanchao Academy and Xijianchi, you will get the ownership rights for the next six hundred years. If Guanchao Academy and Xijianchi continue to cooperate, you will also have the ownership rights for the next six hundred years." It has been owned for a full six hundred years. This will be of great benefit to both the current Guanchao Academy and the current Sword Washing Pond."
Li Xiuping frowned and said: "Six hundred years, other holy places will agree?"
The swordsman in green shirt smiled and said: "Of course not, that's why I asked you to represent Guanchao Academy and Xijianchi. Then you will be the junior uncle of Guanchao Academy and the successor of Xijianchi, not just twice. Three hundred years? As for who comes first and who comes last, that is the matter of the Sword Washing Pond and Guanchao Academy and has nothing to do with other holy places."
Li Xiuping frowned and said, "Isn't this a lie?"
The blue-shirted swordsman smiled and nodded: "Sometimes, if you just want to cheat, you will definitely suffer losses if you are reasonable, especially with those old guys."
Afterwards, the swordsman in green shirt told Li Xiuping some information about the Seven Holy Lands. In addition to Chao Guan Academy and Sword Washing Pond, there were also Xianglu Mountain, Butterfly Valley, Star Observation Tower, Taiyi Pavilion, and Piaoxue City. Almost every holy land has a strong person who has transcended the tribulation period, which is the so-called saint.
Among the seven holy places, there are Confucianism, Taoism, Buddha, swords, and demons. The reason why the conference was held in Piaoxue City was because it was the closest to the ruins.
After knowing the basic situation of the Seven Holy Lands, what Li Xiuping cared about most was Taiyi Pavilion.
According to this senior swordsman, Taiyi Pavilion is a Taoist sect, second only to Kunlun Mountain. It is the Taoist sect that stops him from going north this time, so Taiyi Pavilion must be indispensable.
Walking and talking like this, we soon arrived at Shanquan Academy.
The two powerful men from Shanquan Academy had already been waiting outside the academy door. After seeing Li Xiuping and the swordsman in green shirt, they both saluted at the same time without even daring to raise their heads.
The green-shirted swordsman said directly: "Shanquan Academy is under the control of others. I can understand this choice, so Shanquan Academy can still exist. Of course, it is also because Shanquan Academy is a Confucian academy after all. As for who will be the emperor of the Xia Dynasty next, it is up to you. I'm happy, but don't forget that you are still Confucian disciples after all. If Confucian disciples are in trouble, but they stand by and watch, isn't it somewhat unjustifiable?"
The mountain master of Shanquan Academy said bitterly: "Senior Sword Master taught me a lesson, and I am grateful to Senior Sword Master for understanding the difficulties of Shanquan Academy."
The blue-shirted swordsman looked at Li Xiuping and said, "You are currently recuperating at Shanquan Academy. I have some things to deal with. I will come to pick you up then."
Li Xiuping nodded and saluted.
As Li Xiuping entered Shanquan Academy, everyone in the academy who was originally worried about Li Xiuping felt relieved when they saw that their junior uncle returned safely.
As for Shanquan Academy, Li Xiuping should be polite and did not intend to have too much contact with Shanquan Academy.
Shanquan Academy did not take action before. Li Xiuping did not mean to blame Shanquan Academy. This is people's freedom, and he can understand Shanquan Academy's difficulties, but understanding is understanding, which does not mean that he, Li Xiuping, has anything to do with Shanquan Academy. .
If Shanquan Academy had taken action before, the situation would naturally be different.
After Shanquan Academy arranged a place for Li Xiuping, Li Xiuping began to recuperate. The injury this time was not serious, and even the willow tree was almost pulled out. He had to ensure that there would not be any hidden dangers.
In addition, Li Xiuping asked Huang Qing and others to pay close attention to the situation in the capital.
Because of that sword master, the entire capital has undergone earth-shaking changes. Although the sword master only fired two swords before and after, those two swords disrupted the plans of many people, including Shanquan Academy. .
Nowadays, not only is the capital undercurrent surging, but the entire Xia Dynasty is probably beginning to become turbulent. Under such circumstances, many hidden things will be easily exposed, and some situations that were originally undetectable will come to light.
When thinking about this, Li Xiuping couldn't help but feel emotional.
In the past, he always thought that the rich people in the city were great. They could eat whatever they wanted without having to worry about money. He also thought that the officials were great. They could do whatever they wanted without anyone. Dare to take charge, later he heard that the richest and most powerful person was the emperor, and he felt that he was the most powerful person in the world.
Although he had long heard his master tell about the deeds of those cultivators, and heard about those cultivators from major sects wielding swords in heaven and earth, he felt that it would not be as comfortable as being an emperor, and later he really embarked on the path of cultivation. , only to realize that the spiritual world and the secular world are two completely different worlds, but they are also involved.
But before that, he didn't actually think that a cultivator could really change the rise and fall of a secular dynasty. But that senior swordsman could kill with one sword and without hesitation or care. He really changed the whole world. The situation in the empire.
There were so many calculations and involvements behind this, but they seemed so vulnerable to his sword.
It turns out that as long as you are strong enough, you can really not care about any calculations, and you can really defeat all kinds of magic with one sword.
In this way, Li Xiuping would naturally have a yearning for the future, especially what the senior sword master said earlier seemed to be a joke.
The senior swordsman said that the reason why Qi Wenxing is so powerful is that he is not only a scholar, but also a swordsman. Anyone who hears this will think that this is just a joke, or that the senior swordsman is looking for someone who is not as good as him. excuse, but Li Xiuping felt that was not the case.
Simply learning the sword and learning the sword after studying may not be the same thing.
Mr. Ouye often asked him to study in the past, so he knew that there is a saying that reads ten thousand books and travels ten thousand miles.
Reading thousands of books first and then traveling thousands of miles is completely different from simply traveling thousands of miles. The same may be true for practicing swordsmanship.
Of course, the senior sword master may also mean the alliance between Confucianism and the Sword Sect. The freedom of Confucianism is unique, and the Sword Sect also has merits. If the powerful unite, they will naturally be stronger.
But no matter what the reason is, he, Li Xiuping, seems to have to study, because even if it is not to become stronger, he is now the junior uncle of Guanchao Academy. He can be regarded as a scholar. Scholars don't study, but they walk around with a sword all day long. It doesn't seem right.
In the evening of that day, a person came to Shanquan Academy, Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Xia Dynasty.
Naturally, the princess came to Shanquan Academy to find Li Xiuping. As for revenge or something else, Li Xiuping didn't know, because he had not seen the princess, and the academy did not let her go. Her Royal Highness the Princess met Li Xiuping.
But although the princess did not see Li Xiuping, she did not leave Shanquan Academy directly. Instead, she talked with the mountain master of Shanquan Academy all night. As for what they talked about, Li Xiuping naturally didn't know, and he didn't care. .
What Li Xiuping is concerned about now is the situation inside his body and the changes in the willow tree.
For some unknown reason, the sphere on the willow tree is slowly blooming like a stamen...
