When Zhan Keng, the elder of Xunhan Mountain, returned to his temporary base, all the sects belonging to the Heaven and Earth Alliance had basically broken up camp and were preparing to set off. An accompanying disciple from Xunhan Mountain saw Zhan Keng and hurriedly came to greet him.
"Elder Zhan, the disciples have packed up and can break camp at any time." The disciple bowed his hands and said, after speaking, he stretched out his hand and presented a bamboo hat in front of Zhan Keng.
"Follow the disciples of other sects." Elder Zhan Keng was still thinking about the "Hunyuan Weapons Manual Volume 1" in his sleeves. He took the bamboo hat and put it on casually and walked into the crowd.
Then the Heaven and Earth Alliance team that came to Yangfeng Valley to fight against the thieves began to return to the original stationed place.
On the way, Zhan Keng began to recall the scene when he first came into contact with the news related to the "Hunyuan Weapons Manual". At that time, he had to meet the help of a noble person and learned about the existence of this book. This "Hunyuan Weapons Manual" came from Zhu Zhu Among the past mountain lords of Jianfeng, the last annotation was recorded by the previous mountain lord Si Xuan who died unexpectedly more than thirty years ago.
This book records the magical weapons that Sword-Forging Peak has forged since its founding. A total of nearly forty-nine weapons are recorded, among which the most lethal are the four weapons that Si Xuan spent his whole life forging. Swords, because of the sword-appreciation accident last year, the only ones that exist today are the Hanmei in Liumei's hand at Fengxue Grand View Tower, and the Gaojun in Mingxi's hand at Wenjian Lake.
Not many people even know what the other two swords are called or what they look like. In other words, except Si Xuan himself, who forged the four swords, and the person who caused the accident last year, no one has seen what the other two swords look like. Now that this scroll is in Zhan Keng's hands, he can get news about the other two swords.
And under the advice of the noble man, the upper volume and the lower volume are combined, and there are swordsmanship and sword moves corresponding to the four swords, and the other weapons are also available. In this way, as long as Zhan Keng collects the second volume, the world will be The four swords include the weapons made by the other sword-forging peaks that have been born, and the subtleties among them can be taken into his hands.
The rain gradually stopped, but the sky was still as bright as early morning, with no intention of clearing up.
Rain dripped down from Zhan Keng's bamboo hat, and finally fell on the mud. Zhan Keng looked at the slow-moving team in front, and adjusted the brim of his bamboo hat again. The disciples beside him thought that Elder Zhan had something to say. Speaking, he came over immediately.
"Elder Zhan, do you have something to tell me?" The disciple was the one who handed Zhan Keng the bamboo hat before. At this time, he was still standing respectfully beside Zhan Keng, bowing and waiting for Elder Zhan's speech.
"I remember your name is Zhang... Huaiyan?" Zhan Keng asked pretending to be confused when he saw this disciple coming over. He wanted to make sure everything was safe. In fact, the details of all the disciples accompanying him, including those still staying at the station, were unknown. I checked it all over and found out everything, no matter how much contribution I made to the sect, my level of skills, or what the influence of my family in the north and south was before I started.
"The disciple is none other than Zhang Huaiyan. I feel honored that the elder can recognize him!" Zhang Huaiyan said excitedly that he could actually be remembered by Elder Zhan, whose status in the sect is second only to that of the sect leader.
"Huai Yan... How is your relationship with Senior Brother Akun who is on this trip..." Zhan Keng asked seemingly casually, looking into the distance as he spoke and not knowing what he was thinking.
"Although Senior Brother Cai is usually strict, he is still very kind to us Junior Brothers." Zhang Huaiyan said immediately, but he didn't know that he had already ridiculed the Senior Brother hundreds or thousands of times. He seems to have an old relationship with the elder Zhan in front of him, and he often behaves like a fox and a tiger.
"Sigh... A Kun was killed by a thief this time... I am really heartbroken." Zhan Keng covered his mouth and nose with one hand, then took a deep breath and sighed. Seeing him walking, his face was extremely haggard, as if I am several years older than when I set out in the morning.
...Senior Brother Cai is dead? After hearing the news, Zhang Huaiyan's eyes shone several times, but he did not show his shock anymore, but also started to feel sad and sad along with the elder Zhan Keng in front of him.
"I would like to think that after fighting against thieves this time, I can still practice swordsmanship and listen to pine trees on the mountain with Senior Brother Cai, watching the clouds pass over the top of the mountain... Why did Senior Brother leave... These thieves! I must kill more for Senior Brother Everyone, please help him get angry!" Zhang Huaiyan clenched his fists and sobbed.
"When other disciples in my sect heard this, they all expressed their gratitude to you. I know that Akun's incident is a pity within the sect, but it is also a blessing that the Hanshan disciples can unite like this! From now on, if Akun is no longer around, you and I will You should also lead the disciples in the sect like Akun and work hard together to make the mountain sect go further!" Zhan Keng suppressed his grief and said to Zhang Huaiyan in a deep voice.
"Disciple, please obey Elder Zhan's order! You will definitely live up to the reputation of Xunhan Mountain!" Zhang Huaiyan also said in a deep voice, with uncontrollable determination and enthusiasm in his eyes.
"Huaiyan, please go and give me an oral instruction first. When scheduling this return trip, I still need to deal with some things before I can give some explanations to the disciples who died on this trip." Elder Zhankeng then handed Zhang Huaiyan the first command arrow. .
Zhang Huaiyan responded and walked towards the front of the Xunhan Mountain team. He secretly rejoiced in his heart that from now on, he, Zhang Huaiyan, would sit in the seat of his short-lived senior brother!
It doesn’t matter if you have high skills or background. If you go down the mountain to experience and have no one to rely on, it is not a dead end! Zhang Huaiyan is different. Who has he not been familiar with in Xunhan Mountain since he was a child?
Who don’t you know? Now that he has been favored by Elder Zhan, who doesn't take Zhang Huaiyan into his eyes? Thinking of this, Zhang Huaiyan became even more delighted. Some Xunhan Mountain disciples he had visited were very surprised when they saw him like this. Why did Zhang Huaiyan, who was usually the most submissive, seem to be a different person today?
"Elder Zhan has an order! From now on, all arrangements on the way back to Xunhan Mountain will be made by me, Zhang Huaiyan!" When he reached the front of Xunhan Mountain, he raised his hand high to signal everyone to look at his position. Under the gaze of all the disciples of Xunhan Mountain, he spoke loudly in an extremely confident tone.
The Xunhan Mountain disciples who heard the news were a little shocked. Although rumors had spread, the disciples led by Senior Brother Cai seemed to have been completely wiped out this time, and no one survived. Even Senior Brother Cai was killed. In this Yangfeng Valley, the person who is the new consul is Zhang Huaiyan, who is usually groveling?
After the brief shock, someone immediately started whispering among the crowd.
"Is Elder Zhan confused? He let this waste take over Senior Brother Cai's position."
"Shut up! Is this what you and I can say? When it comes to the elders and deacons in the sect, you don't know how to avoid suspicion? Do you really think that you have seen the world, so you don't treat other people in the sect as human beings?"
"...I really shouldn't say this, but how could it be Zhang Huaiyan, a loser?"
"It's just a villain who gets his way, just don't mess with him in the future."
"Oh, senior brother, it's reasonable!" Zhang Huaiyan is now in the limelight. He did not scold these talkative people in the crowd. He wrote them down in the booklet in his heart one by one. From now on, he will make careful calculations with these brothers and sisters!
...At this time, the people at the front of the return journey were the people from Wenjian Lake and Zhujianfeng. For unknown reasons, Mingxi specially invited the two worshipers from Zhujianfeng to travel together.
"This is only the first time that we have faced off against the enemy, the Evil Slaughter Sect, and we are not too familiar with its details. From now on, we all need to work together to defeat the traitors!" Ming Xi was the first to speak.
"That's natural. Master Ming's method of building the Heaven and Earth Alliance together has connected various sects in the Jianghu martial arts world. From now on, the Evil Sect will no longer dare to kill and humiliate our Jianghu disciples as it did before. !" Li Junce answered.
"It's just that I still have some concerns. After all, I didn't know the purpose of the Evil Slaughter Sect before. I probably know most of this trip to Yangfeng Valley. It's still related to the Four Swords of Zhujian Peak. Maybe... last year's sword appreciation accident had something to do with the relationship between the mountain master and the mountain master. I will die with the evil-slaying sect..." Mingxi pondered for a moment and said, when he mentioned the sword appreciation accident and the words "mountain master", he looked at the two worshippers very deliberately.
Qiao Ruichen was stunned when he heard the word "mountain master" and had no intention of answering, while Li Junce lowered his head and sighed, then looked at Ming Xi.
"If the thieves really want to snatch those four swords, it will be easy for us at Sword Forging Peak now that we don't have any swords in hand... It's just a pain for Sect Master Ming and Master Liu..." Li Junce only mentioned the four swords and did not mention them at all. When it comes to the mountain owner, he seems not to want to mention it.
Seeing that Mingxi could not find out any other information about last year's sword appreciation accident from the two of them, he did not continue to delve deeper and just said in response: "I also hope that the Evil Slaughter Sect will come to fight for Gaijun in my hands, and I will Get rid of the evil in the Jianghu martial arts world and kill them all without leaving any trace behind!".
"When the world is in crisis, there are heroes like Sect Master Ming who step forward to turn the tide and help the building from falling. It is truly a blessing for the martial arts world!" After Li Junce finished speaking clearly, he immediately clasped his fists and said.
"Li Gongfeng was so complimentary..." Mingxi said with a smile when she heard Li Junce's praise. While the two were talking, a horse suddenly rushed out from the mountain road in front. The man who was riding the horse was covered in blood and his clothes were like those of a sword-asking disciple.
"Sect Master... someone attacked the station..." The man finally saw Ming Xi, and his tense heartstrings relaxed happily, but he didn't know if he relaxed too quickly. Blood immediately spewed out of his mouth, and then he fell straight to one side. Next, the horse under him started to stop and spin around because of the rider's fall, not knowing where to go.
When Mingxi saw the man, he did not immediately greet him. He thought it was part of his own plan.
This time, whether it was against the enemy Yang Fenggu and the Tue Evil Sect, or dividing his troops to garrison positions, his intention was not to destroy the Tue Evil Sect. He needed an opportunity, a chance to make all members of the Heaven and Earth Alliance obey his orders.
He originally planned to lead the elites of the Heaven and Earth Alliance factions to exterminate the traitors in the Yangfeng Valley area, but then ordered his close disciples to create panic in the original station, making people mistakenly think that there was a Slaughter Evil Sect jumping to the rear to attack the remaining disciples of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, and then he Use the pre-arranged disciples from Wenjian Lake to calm the panic.
In this way, the status of Wenjian Lake will definitely exceed the weight of other sects in the Heaven and Earth Alliance, and the ultimate goal of this operation will be achieved.
Until she saw the disciple fell down with several feather arrows stuck behind him, Mingxi's pupils suddenly shrank, no... the one who stayed at the station was really attacked!
He quickly rushed to the disciple and checked his breath, but the disciple had already expired.
"Master Ming! But the station was attacked!" Li Junce asked immediately. Ming Xi just hummed, and he began to think about who could cross the encirclement he had arranged for his disciples to explore in the past few days, appear in the area of the station, and then attack the station while he was encircling Fenggu... Qiao Ruichen had no idea Without waiting for Mingxi to issue an order, he immediately drew his sword and turned around. Following his cough, all the Sword-Forging Peak disciples looked at Qiao Ruichen.
"All disciples listened to the order and quickly returned to their base to help their comrades!" Accompanied by the cheers of the disciples of Zhujian Peak, the disciples of Zhujian Peak took the lead in running wildly, aiming straight for the Heaven and Earth Alliance's remaining garrison.
