When Ling Xiaoyun broke into Poyang City alone and defeated the military god Sikong Li, the king of Chu, Chen Xiong, personally handed over the bound King of Zhennan to Ling Xiaoyun. The second best spearman in the world stabbed the big man with one shot in full view of everyone. Queen Chu Zhennan left a sentence: "Fortunately, you, the king of Chu, did not offend someone Ling again, otherwise today, the king of Chu Chen Xiong will seal the coffin in the history books of future generations!" and then walked away.
For a time, the imperial power was damaged, and the entire officialdom of the Chu State was despised by the people in the world. The people of the old Yan State, who had been suppressed and settled with great difficulty, began to make moves again. Chen Xiong had no choice but to send Liu Huailiang to use both kindness and power. After all, as a Yan Liu Huailiang, who once held a high position in the Yan Kingdom, was far more familiar with the world of Yan than Sikong Li.
Ling Xiaoyun took Wu Xiu and Lu Huaiyuan back to Sword God Mountain.
After Ling Xiaoyun expressed his feelings, Wu Xiu no longer cared about Shiban City. "Ruby Arm Sutra" was passed on to Lu Huaiyuan, and his father's hard work was also succeeded by others. Wu Xiu made up his mind to seal his gun from now on, no longer care about the Jianghu affairs, and stay with him with peace of mind. Ling Xiaoyun. After a few days of getting along with each other, she became even more happy with Lu Huaiyuan and regarded him as her own. In addition to giving Wu Jing's "Ruby Arm Sutra" to Lu Huaiyuan, she also gave Lu Huaiyuan a pole named "Broken Soul" made by her father. The spear was given as a gift, and Lu Huaiyuan no longer shied away and accepted it with peace of mind. However, the spear was too long. For the young Lu Huaiyuan, it was not easy for him to take advantage of it at the moment. He could only keep it well and wait until he grew up to use it.
After the three of them returned to Sword God Mountain, Ling Xiaoyun and his beloved wife visited Cao Qiong. Wu Xiu was also very familiar with the name of this world-famous sword god. Later, Ling Xiaoyun planned to take Wu Xiu to travel around the world before the war started to make up for the mistakes of the past years. Cao Qiong knew that Ling Xiaoyun was aiming for all directions, and a small Sword God Mountain couldn't keep this person, and they didn't try too hard to keep him, but Lu Huaiyuan was reluctant to let him go.
Ling Xiaoyun saw this in his eyes and did not say anything to comfort him. He believed that with the help of Wu Jing's "Rubaru Sutra" and his own gun manual, Lu Huaiyuan, who was already on the road to martial arts, would soon be able to make rapid progress and shine.
With the departure of Ling Xiaoyun and his wife, the originally lively Sword God Mountain returned to its former deserted state. Lu Huaiyuan, who was previously lively and cheerful, became taciturn and only focused on practicing his spear all day long.
As for Cao Qiong, who is ranked third in the world but recognized as the most lethal, although he has now entered the realm of heaven and humans, Cao Qiong knows that if he does not have a great opportunity, he may not be able to reach the realm of heaven and immortality in this life. After reaching Cao Qiong's level, whether or not to retreat into seclusion no longer means much. Cao Qiong believed that he was now at the pinnacle of his time, both in terms of sword moves and sword intent, but how could he break through? Is it possible that he really had to put himself to death and survive, and could he gain some insights in the thin line between life and death?
At this time, Cao Qiong sensed that an outsider was intruding into the boundary of Sword God Mountain. He threw the Feiying Sword down the foot of the mountain and thrust it diagonally in front of the person's feet. Cao Qiong's sword reached the person's feet, followed the movement of his body, and stopped him in front of the person. .
The person in front of him was a short, stocky, middle-aged man, with his hands in his sleeves. Cao Qiong could not help but realize that this man was only a third-class martial artist. He did not dare to act wildly in front of him, so he asked: "What are you doing here?" Who, I, this Sword God Mountain is rarely visited by people, and I don’t know why they came here?”
The man said in a loud voice: "I have seen the Lord Sword God. I have been entrusted by someone to deliver a letter to the Sword God. I don't know anything else."
Cao Qiong frowned and said, "Who entrusted you?"
"I don't know, but a certain hero gave me a hundred taels of silver and asked me to tell the Sword God that he was the wielder of double swords on Dongting Mountain. If I just told him this, the Sword God could guess who he was. The identity of a hero." The man answered honestly.
Dongting Mountain!
Cao Qiong was shocked. He had already guessed the identity of the sender, but his face remained calm. He took the letter and said, "I have traveled thousands of miles to make this trip. I would like to thank you in advance. May I ask you, who is that person?" Where are you now? Why don't you come to see me in person?"
The man shook his head: "I'm just a messenger, I don't know anything about the rest. Now that it's over, I'll leave first. As for the reason, the Sword God might as well find the answer in the letter."
Seeing the middle-aged man say goodbye, Cao Qiong held the letter in his hand and couldn't calm down for a long time. He naturally knew the identity of the person who sent the letter, but that person had disappeared from the world for nearly twenty years. Why did he suddenly appear now, and why did he not go there himself when he sent someone to deliver the letter? Cao Qiong was afraid of being deceived, so he did not open the envelope in a hurry. He planned to discuss it with Mei Shuyan after returning to the mountain before making any plans.
After returning to the mountain, Cao Qiong was relieved to see that Lu Huaiyuan was still practicing his spear as if venting his anger. When he came to Mei Shuyan's room, he put the letter on the table and asked, "Sister, do you still remember Qiu Yao?"
After reading the letter, Mei Shuyan roughly guessed the whole story and said: "Of course I remember that twenty years ago, Qiu Yao and you were both famous in the world and traveled together. This person was only in his weak years at that time, and he could He is equally equal to you and has an unprecedented level of talent, but then he suddenly disappeared. Why, now there is news about this feud?"
Cao Qiong nodded: "Yes, this is the letter sent to me by Qiu Yao, but he has disappeared for twenty years. Now that he suddenly appeared at this moment, I was worried about fraud, so I came to discuss with my sister. "
Mei Shuyan frowned and said: "Everything is unpredictable and there must be a monster. This person disappeared after we separated from you. He has not been heard from for twenty years. Now that someone has suddenly sent a letter, you must be more careful." It’s better to read what’s written in the letter first and then make plans.”
Cao Qiong also had this idea. When he opened the envelope, he saw the letter written: "Brother Cao Qiong, seeing the words is like meeting each other, and the letter is soothing. Twenty years have passed since we parted ways in Dongting Mountain. After bidding farewell, he went south alone to challenge the best monk in the world, but his skills were inferior to others and he was unfortunately defeated. He was later trapped in Yunyin Temple and never saw the light of day. Now that I have regained my freedom, I miss my brother very much and specially invite him to visit us on the sixth day of next month. Liang Guoqing is in Yangcheng, see you or leave." The inscription is exactly the two characters Qiu Yao.
Cao Qiong frowned deeply and sighed: "It turns out that Qiu Yao has been trapped in Yunyin Temple. No wonder there has been no news at all in the past twenty years."
Mei Shuyan persuaded: "But why did he make an appointment with you in Qingyang City? Is there some conspiracy?"
"Qiu Yao is determined not to harm me."
"But what if someone pretends to be Qiu Yao and deceives you into entering the game?"
Cao Qiong shook his head, stared at the two words signed, and said: "Although the handwriting can be imitated, the meaning of the sword in the words is undoubtedly Qiu Yao's own handwriting. I and Qiu Yao are brothers, no matter what, I must go there , let’s meet. Don’t worry, sister, I know the importance of it. Besides, except Kongshan, no one in the Liang Kingdom can really come under my eyes anymore. So what about Qingyang City, I can still go there!”
Mei Shuyan knew very well that Cao Qiong had a stubborn temper. Once he made a decision and it was difficult for others to influence him, he could only warn him: "Then you should be careful."
