Jian Yinghao waited for Cheng Ling to approach before asking, "What does Brother Cheng want to know?"
Cheng Ling said: "Brother Jian has a mysterious identity, a high level of cultivation, and a very strong inherited swordsmanship. He also helps me with all his strength, which is really puzzling to me."
Jian Yinghao said: "Does Brother Cheng have such doubts about everyone who treats you well?"
"That's not entirely true. It's just that Brother Jian is too capable. We have only known each other for a short time. There is absolutely no need to take such a big risk to help me. In my heart, there is never a good thing without a reason. If I exchange such courtesy for you, no Do you think it’s weird?”
Jian Yinghao sighed and said, "Sure enough, my uncle is right. Not only are you talented, you are also very cautious in character."
"Your uncle? Is he Elder Jian?"
"Yes, he is indeed my uncle. Do you know the name of the first sword master?"
"I don't know!"
"His name is Jian Cangtian. He founded the Famous Sword Academy and is also my great-grandfather."
Cheng Ling suddenly realized and said: "So, Brother Jian is actually a descendant of the first sword master. No wonder there is such a high inheritance. So is the current chief master the father of Brother Jian?"
"No, my father was gone when I was born. The current head of the academy is from the Fa Dao Academy. Even the dean of the Ken Dao Academy is just another uncle of mine, named Jian Wuya!"
"Gone? Missing or...!"
Jian Yinghao shook his head and said: "I don't know. I just heard that I went to explore a secret realm and never came back. In the past twenty years, the power of the Fa Dao Yuan has gradually increased, gradually surpassing the Ken Dao Yuan and the Martial Arts Yuan. Therefore, My uncle is so happy to see you."
"Until you enter the inner gate, you will never forget to bring me news, so that I can help you grow as much as possible. In the future, you will definitely be the new hope of the Kendo Academy!"
Cheng Ling was shocked and said: "Elder Jian is too flattering."
"No, I think he is right. With my current cultivation level, even if I am suppressed at the early stage of Nascent Soul, ordinary inner disciples cannot block thirty swords. But you can defeat me and force me to improve my cultivation level. , based on this alone, it is by no means simple.”
"And I feel that you haven't used your full strength yet and you still have reservations, right?"
Cheng Ling was shocked. This sword hero had such a keen mind. He did still have the Blue Wave Thousand Miles Sword Technique at the bottom of the box that he had not yet used. What's more, he has made rapid progress. If he were to fight again now, let alone suppressing his cultivation to the early stage of Nascent Soul, he would not be afraid even if he reached the peak of the middle stage.
However, he couldn't say this, so he could only vaguely say: "No, in that day's battle, I had already exhausted all my strength."
Jian Yinghao laughed and did not ask further questions. He changed the topic and said: "This time to kill the Agni Fire Cult, there are a few points that I need to explain to Brother Cheng first!"
"Brother Jian, please tell me!"
"A snake can't do without a head. In order to complete the mission, I will do my best to do this. Everything must be under my command and you cannot act without permission. I know that Wu Chenlong must take you as the leader, so I won't ask him. Can Brother Cheng agree?"
"Of course. Brother Jian's cultivation level is much higher than mine. Of course, you will be the main one."
"That's good. This operation is very dangerous. The elders and hall masters of the Agni Fire Sect are not afraid, but the Agni Fire Ancestor is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Although I am sure that I can hold it back, but against him alone, I I don’t have the energy to take care of other things.”
"Although Yiyi and Youlan are strong in combat, one is reckless and the other is cold-tempered. It will be difficult for them to face emergencies. Brother Cheng will need to take care of them when the time comes!"
Cheng Ling was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that Jian Yinghao would value him so much. The two women were definitely more powerful than him in combat, and they entrusted him to take care of him. Isn't that right?
Is it putting the cart before the horse? There is also Wu Chenlong. If he encounters Old Monster Liehuo, how can he take care of him?
Jian Yinghao seemed to see through his thoughts and continued: "Brother Cheng, don't belittle yourself. With your combat power and caution, you are definitely much better than them. I will also ask them to listen to your command when I have no time to clone!"
Cheng Ling smiled bitterly and could only agree: "I'll do my best!"
The two of them had reached an agreement and headed on their way, but behind them, Wu Chenlong was desperately trying to play tricks on Bai Yiyi, which really made her happy. Silver bell-like laughter could be heard from time to time, bringing a touch of unique style to the boring journey. Only Gu Youlan's face remained unchanged and indifferent!
Cheng Ling shook his head secretly. With his beautiful face and cold temperament, he didn't know how many disciples in the inner courtyard had sunk under the iceberg.
Jian Yinghao turned his head and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Yiyi is cheerful and cheerful, so she is very happy, but it's a pity that Youlan...!" After saying that, he also shook his head.
Cheng Ling asked: "I heard that the forces in the south basically respect the academy. It's boring to travel anyway. Brother Jian, why don't you introduce it to me?"
Jian Yinghao nodded and began to tell.
"Compared to the entire Canglan Continent, the strength of the monks in our south is not high. They just occupy the advantage of the geographical location, with hundreds of thousands of mountains, forcibly divided. This certainly allows the male monks to have a stable environment to practice, but at the same time, it also It limits development.”
"Take our Famous Sword Academy as an example. With its current strength, it can only be regarded as a second-rate force in the central region. Among the five major academies, it ranks last. Not to mention other sects and families."
"Five major colleges? Which five majors are they?"
"The five major colleges are Canglang College in the east, Luotian College in the north, Yunlan College in the west, and Tianji College in the central region."
"Among them, Tianji Academy is the strongest, Luotian Academy and Yunlan Academy are about the same strength, Canglang Academy is second, and our Famous Sword Academy can only be ranked at the bottom."
"The five major colleges often communicate with each other. Every twenty years, a college summit is held to showcase what their respective disciples have learned. There are many types of competitions, such as swordsmanship, spells, martial arts, elixirs, formations, and alchemy. Utensils, talismans, etc. will all be involved.”
Cheng Ling asked: "The Famous Sword Academy seems to have no experts in the fields of elixirs, formations, weapon refining, and talisman making. Isn't that a big disadvantage?"
"There are some, but they are not very clever, their grades are very low, and they gradually declined. Now the elixirs and treasures used by the academy disciples have to be purchased from outside chambers of commerce."
"The most important thing is elixirs. The annual amount is very huge, so the academy pays special attention to this task. Although Shiwandashan is located in a corner, it is rich in herbal medicine and mineral resources. The academy's expenses are basically obtained by selling materials. .”
"Now that the Agni Cult is making trouble in the south, it is blocking the flow of resources. Material resources from the south cannot be transported. How can we trade with the Northern Chamber of Commerce?"
Cheng Ling suddenly realized that after all, it was still a battle between resources and interests. The Agni Fire Cult occupied the south and blocked the interests of the Famous Sword Academy, so they naturally refused to give up. In the south, I am the boss. If I say you are unorthodox, I will have a reason to destroy you.
He suddenly lost interest and asked: "So, what the Academy said about Agni Fire Cult killing merchants and bullying disciples is all false?"
Jian Yinghao said: "That's not necessarily true. It may not be true to bully the academy disciples. But it is true to kill the merchants. Several small families in the south were wiped out by them. The situation was extremely cruel, not only the monks, but also the mortals. Let it go.”
"This aroused the anger of the major families and sects, and they decided to completely annihilate the Agni Fire Sect. You know, although mortals have no strength, they are the cornerstone of the monks. If all the mortals are killed and injured, where will the monks come from?"
Cheng Ling thought about it and realized that this was indeed true. The Agni Fire Sect must be destroyed! For no other reason than to restore peace to the people in the south!
The two of them talked freely all the way, but the one-horned demon horse kept walking. I ran straight for two days and two nights without stopping for a moment. Bai Yiyi yelled that she couldn't bear it anymore and said she needed to take a shower and change clothes. It had been two days and her body was sticky and uncomfortable.
Jian Yinghao had no choice but to comfort him: "If we walk for another hour, we will reach a mortal market. How about having another night's rest then?"
Bai Yiyi then gave up and agreed.
Cheng Ling took a peek at Gu Youlan and saw that she was still the same as before. She had not changed at all after two days of traveling, and her clothes were spotless. She secretly admired her in her heart. I don’t know how this girl manages to take care of herself. Everyone else is unkempt, but she is alone, and her style remains the same.
The goal is ahead, and the five of them can only grit their teeth and persevere. An hour later, they saw a faint light of fire in front of them. Everyone was overjoyed and hurriedly used their feet to urge the one-horned demon horse to move forward quickly.
But within a short while, Jian Yinghao and Cheng Ling felt something was wrong. The firelight was definitely not like the lights in a home, but more like the bright light of a burning house.
The two looked at each other, and Jian Yinghao said: "You follow slowly, I will go and have a look."
After saying that, you should pat your horse and walk towards the fire. The four of them slowed down their horses and followed behind him. After burning the incense, I saw Jian Yinghao sitting on the horse from a distance, motionless! The four of them were startled, thinking that something had happened, and hurriedly rushed forward.
Arriving next to Jian Yinghao, Cheng Ling saw the scene in front of him. I saw the houses in the market ahead, swaying here and there, many of them still burning. There were corpses on the long street, next to the doorways of the houses, and even around the market.
The five people walked forward slowly and saw many old people and children lying in a pool of blood. Entering the room, many women were wearing messy clothes, some were even naked, and each of them stared at the empty roof with a pair of hateful eyes.
The sword hero gritted his teeth and said with hatred: "The Aging Fire Sect must be the hand of a subordinate of the Agni Fire Sect!"
Bai Yiyi and Wu Chenlong both looked angry, and even Gu Youlan frowned, with a cold light flashing in his eyes. The helpless old people and children were killed, and even women were humiliated to death. These people really deserved to be killed!
Cheng Ling scanned his eyes and asked, "How can you be sure it was the work of the Liehuo Cult?"
"Look at these women, they were humiliated before they died. Only people from the Agni Cult would do such despicable methods. And burning the houses after killing people is their usual method."
"If ordinary sects and families take action, they will never leave any traces. They will only raze the entire market to the ground, leaving no trace behind!"
Cheng Ling nodded silently. Indeed, the scene in front of him did not look like the tactics of the sect and family. Only those gangsters will not let go of humiliating women.
Jian Yinghao added: "This place has been discovered by the Agni Fire Cult. We cannot stay here for a long time and have to find another hiding place."
"Brother Jian, what do you think?"
"If you go further south from here, you will be closer to the Agni Fire Cult. It is better to turn to the southwest, where there are many mountains and few human traces. It is not far from the Agni Fire Cult's lair. Let's find a safe place for the time being, and then discuss how to do it! "
"Just follow what Brother Jian said!"
"When we get here, quickly enter the core area of the Agni Fire Cult. We will put the one-horned demon horse back and use our body skills to move forward. The target will be smaller. Don't worry, they will naturally return to the academy."
Everyone nodded and dismounted one by one. The one-horned demon horse hooted and ran towards the way it came, and soon disappeared.
Jian Yinghao glanced at everyone and said, "Let's go!" Then he used his movement skills to lead everyone towards the southwest!
