"Clang--" The dark courtyard welcomed its long-lost owner.
The visitor's footsteps were very light, neither hasty nor slow, and he pushed open the courtyard door and closed it slowly. A faint blue light flashed through the darkness, and tiny lights shone in the middle of the door.
The other party stood in front of the door and looked at it, then sighed heavily, turned around and walked towards the central building, disappearing in the darkness.

"Where did Junior Sister Ning go? Why haven't I seen her these days?" He Haigong asked in confusion.
Tomorrow is the joint competition, but Ning Xia is still nowhere to be seen, which makes all the disciples in the formation hall feel very puzzled.
At first, no one was seen, and they thought the other party had something important to do or was traveling. After all, Ningxia didn't come often for a while, which is normal for monks.
But so many days have passed, and when the joint competition is about to begin, there is still no one in sight. At this time, many people also realized that something was wrong.
Not to mention that it is unrealistic to choose to travel far at this time. It was strange in itself that she hadn't shown up at this time.
It might not be surprising to He Haigong and the others, but this is Ningxia. A complete newcomer, even if her cultivation is steadily improving, it cannot change the fact that she is a young person who has not been practicing for a long time.
How could such a person miss the United Competition? If she participates this time, it will be her "first show" no matter what.
Seeing the way Zhenjun Yuanheng and others avoided answering, they subconsciously smelled something different.
On the eve of today's joint competition, the formation cousins gathered together and inevitably mentioned Ningxia's whereabouts.
Most of them tend to think that Ningxia may not come back this time.
"I asked True Lord Yuan Heng a few days ago, but he didn't seem to answer me directly."
"It's probably a private matter, it's hard to talk about this..."
"Senior Brother Jin, do you know? You two have always been close..."
Jin Lin shook his head with a grimace. He had not heard from Ningxia for a long time. It seemed like what happened after he and Ning Xia went to visit True Lord Yuan Heng. At that time, he heard the master asking Ning Xia to deal with some tasks at hand. Probably going out...
But it’s really hard for him to say these things without the consent of True Lord Yuan Heng. If you can really say it, you don't have to hide it. Most of the time, you don't want to say it to the outside world.
He finally shook his head and said he didn't know.
Seeing that Jin Lin couldn't get any news out of him, He Haigong was a little disappointed.
"Junior sister Ning is extremely talented. Her progress over the years is visible to the naked eye and is admirable. She keeps her sword in its sheath. It would be a pity to miss this competition..." Chen Siye said with some regret.
"It seems that it will take a long time for our junior sister's name to be publicized." Everyone nodded tacitly.
Someone came in from outside. After seeing clearly who was coming, a group of disciples from the Formation Hall quickly stood up to greet him.
"What are you all doing here?" Yuan Heng asked curiously. When he came in, he saw the strange atmosphere of this group of people.
"Zhenjun Yuanheng." "Master."
Okay, no need to be polite, just get up. Don't do any exercises today, just relax and go back to have a good rest. Tomorrow is the joint competition, and I hope you and the others can place well. "
Such a large-scale competition involves disciples at all levels. It is still very unrealistic for so many people to compete for the top few positions. With so many people participating, the sect must also consider the issue of balance and give the disciples some motivation.
The most direct way is naturally to reward, and reward corresponding spiritual objects at the noun level. The same was true for the sword competition that people watched before Ningxia. It can be seen that the instinct of human beings to pursue free is the same.
However, under a heavy reward, there must be a brave man who can succeed in every attempt. The competition this time was even more impressive than before. Many sects outside had heard about this grand event of the Wuhua Sect and applied to send people here to watch the competition.

Trembling and blowing, clawing and rolling in the entanglement, discovery in the pain... the natural development process has been forcibly compressed. If you want to start a full stage of growth in just a few days or dozens of days, you naturally need other things. Something to fill as a price. Therefore, during this period, the pressure and tests Ningxia endured here were unprecedentedly difficult.
From escaping in panic, to confusion at a loss, to determination and determination, and finally to the difficult adaptation now, only she knows what kind of test she has experienced deep down in her heart.
In this world with only darkness and swords, she had to face the "torture" of tens of thousands of sword shadows alone, and her only companion was also a sword. Presumably after this incident, if she cannot overcome her fear of swords, she will eventually be swallowed by the shadow.
This place is essentially a very scary place, quietly engulfing people's will, and in the end they either force themselves to adapt or are transformed by it. And everyone who comes in, without exception, has a deep understanding of it, and they have all come here this way.
Even someone as talented as Lin Pingzhen had a hard time coming here and was deeply impressed by this place. So when he heard that Ningxia was sent to the seven-story sword tower, he was not only surprised, but also worried.
As someone who has been there, he really felt that it was too early for Ning Xia to go in, and it would be appropriate to wait until she could stand firmer.
Although his worries have been largely dispelled by True Lord Xuanyang, it does not mean that they have completely disappeared. Over the past few days, he has been secretly paying attention to the news from the seven-story sword tower. The joint competition will also come unexpectedly.
He believes that Ningxia will be able to come out soon.
————————————————
Well, Ningxia also wants to come out quickly. She will be in chaos in the tower from now on.
She found that these sword masters all had strategies, just like playing games with her, they were different from day to day. Now that this is the case, the moves may be different after a while, and after the melee, they will engage in guerrilla warfare.
Ningxia was hit hard because she and Zhong Huanjian were no match for old people like them. She could clearly feel that the other party was consciously guiding her to fight, feeding her with moves, letting her hand move according to her heart, and further shortening the distance between her and the sword.
If someone really takes action, she has a feeling that any sword can kill her on the spot. In this strangely laid-out tower, she noticed a magnetic field belonging to the array, but it was buried very deep. Perhaps it was only when it was activated that she realized what kind of terrifying "behemoth" it was.
But Ningxia doesn't know this, and they will probably have the opportunity to explore it in the future.
And she kept feeling like she was being slipped away. He originally thought that the tower was divided into seven levels, and it should be like the one usually described in the book. The difficulty would increase with the number of levels, and it would rise to the top like a level... However, it turned out that it was not divided like that at all.
There is no distinction between strength and weakness in these seven levels, only styles. For example, the "Sword Brothers" on the first level like to fight in melee, wave after wave.
