Volume 2 Tian Nan ? Xuan Qing Volume Chapter 27: Granting the Sword of Heaven's Mystery, The Five Poisons Ascend the Mountain

  Lian Wanrou and Chu Jiu had also been good friends since childhood, growing up together. Lin Meng'er's thoughts were not different from those of a young girl, so she naturally felt the same way and chimed in: "Meng'er Shijie, it seems that Father and Mother are right, I'm really happy for Chu Jiu Xiao Shixiong!"

  After these three days of contact with Chujiu, Luo Zhihan had already vaguely felt that Chujiu's martial arts and swordsmanship were quite subtle. As the youngest disciple, his martial arts didn't seem to be as bad as what the other disciples said, but rather roughly on par with Lian Tian and even surpassing many of the older disciples.

  When he heard Master say this, his heart was stunned, and two lines of hot tears finally fell. He thought: "Master has been raising himself since childhood, teaching him internal skills, swordsmanship, and light workmanship. Although due to various reasons, his own strength had not made great progress in the past few years, he had never complained about Master for not being one of the top ten disciples, but he had never known that he was so important in Master's heart."

  Lu Shao Hang, Yun Yuan, Lian Tian, had always been fond of this little junior brother of the spiritual world. Over the years, he had often guided him in his initial ninth-grade martial arts. Today, hearing what their master said, he was initially shocked, but seeing that the senior masters behind him didn't show much surprise, he wasn't too surprised either.

  Lian Tian had already slightly turned his body, smiling and softly saying: "Little Shidi, congratulations, congratulations!"

  Liu Chenfei was the youngest among the three disciples of Diancang, and his heart was only on surpassing all the other disciples of his two senior brothers. He never thought of taking in his own disciples because he knew that there was no difference between the disciples taken in by his two senior brothers and those he would take in himself. More than a decade ago, he had heard his eldest senior brother and second senior brother mention that Chu Jiu was born with good bones and muscles on the ninth day of the first month, and he had put more thought into Chu Jiu's martial arts than the other disciples. Later, due to Chu Jiu's own reasons, he was slightly disappointed, but still did his best.

  For the past four years, because of Liu Chenfei's usual reservedness and inability to see Chujiu's progress in martial arts, he was very surprised when he heard Lin Ruochi's words today. However, seeing that his senior brother did not have any opposing expressions, he thought that he would ask again later and understand then.

  However, he took a closer look at Chunjiu and suddenly found that Chunjiu was much more spirited and refreshed than before. A pair of eyes, bright and clear, although not very clear, but still can feel that Chunjiu's practice of "Cangyang Xuanqing Qi" has reached the final stage of "Yunqi Realm".

  So he got as far as "Big Brother, Master Big Brother, why is this?" but didn't get to ask the question!

  But thinking about it, it's quite unbelievable, he shook his head too.

  Liu Chenfei was the clearest, four years ago, on the ninth day of the first month, he had just practiced the "Yun Qi Realm" for the first time and was far behind the top ten disciples. To practice from the first layer of "Yun Qi Realm" to the sixth or seventh layer, even if there was a great master in the previous generation who had practiced for seven years, and even his own generation's most talented sect leader had taken eight years.

  He thought: "And now the first nine from 'Cang Yang Xuan Qing Qi' 'Yun Qi Jie' first layer to the back high-level, if successful, only four years time, how is it possible?"

  But the most unhappy ones were the fourth disciple Hu Xing and the seventh disciple Chen Jian. They were close to Shen Que, and their martial arts skills had also been taught by Shen Que many times. They knew that the eldest brother's swordsmanship was exquisite, far surpassing their own, and they admired him greatly!

  The two of them really couldn't understand how the youngest and weakest of the nine, their fourth junior brother, could be mentioned in the same breath as his four senior brothers, let alone be compared to the eldest senior brother!

  Chen Jian thought: "Listening to Shifu's tone, the assessment of his martial arts cultivation on the ninth day is still above himself, how can this be believed?"

  However, three months ago, in front of Fifth Uncle Shi, he and the younger martial brothers had a sword fight, and he knocked the black willow wood sword out of Shi's hand on the tenth move. His temperament was straightforward, not as profound as Hu Xing, nor did he put it in his heart like Shen Que, so his expression was the most disdainful.

  Hu Xing saw Chen Jian's face darken, and he chuckled in a low voice: "Seventh younger brother, listening to Master's words, this Ninth Junior Brother's martial arts skills are actually above ours!"

  Chen Jiandao said, "Not at all, I don't believe it!" Hu Xing sighed intentionally and whispered, "What a pity! Master has always been concerned about guiding us, but now he's speaking in the same tone as Chujiu. I really couldn't have expected this!"

  Chen Jian thought of Shen Que and hastily said, "It's not right to say that, Little Brother's martial arts are naturally far inferior to Big Brother. Later on, when there is an opportunity, I will definitely learn from Little Brother. What makes him the Eldest Brother?"

  Lu Lun and Sun Hui Guang listened to their voices from behind, Lu Lun whispered: "Fourth brother, Seventh brother, you can't say that. The vision of our master and great master is a hundred times higher than ours, it must be true!"

  Sun Hui Guang also said: "Recently, even Second Brother has been saying that Little Fourth Brother's martial arts have made great progress! Fourth Brother, Seventh Brother must not be rash!"

  Hu Xing disdainfully said: "I wouldn't dare to fight with Chu Jiu! But what about Seventh Brother? Can he just watch as Chu Jiu and Eldest Brother are on the same level?"

  Chen Jian sneered and said: "There will be plenty of time later, I'd like to see just how far your martial arts skills have progressed, little junior brother! Are you worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as Big Senior Brother?"

  Lu Lun and Sun Hui Guang exchanged a glance, no longer advising each other. In their hearts, they thought: "Later, I'll go tell Lian Er Shixiong, Yun Er Shixiong, they are wise and resourceful, naturally there will be a way to deal with it!"

  In the grand hall, amidst the crowd's astonished voices, Lin Ruopu presented the Four Great Disciples - Shen Que, Lu Shao Hang, Lian Tian and Yun Yuan Shi Tie - with their precious swords. The four disciples were all envious as they received their swords, their faces set with determination. With a flash of their swords, their swordsmanship was swift and agile, their movements even more nimble.

  The four of them stood up one by one, drew their swords, and it was surprisingly calm!

  But when the crowd behind saw that the sword Lin Ruochi gave to Chujiu was a black and yellow striped, seemingly wooden but not wooden, seemingly iron but not iron strange weapon without a scabbard, most people couldn't help but laugh at how it could be the Tianxuan Shumuyan Sword. The older ones managed to hold back their laughter, but the younger ones couldn't resist and started laughing. One person started laughing, and soon everyone was laughing loudly. Dozens of people laughed together, creating a loud noise that filled the grand hall with joy and festivity.

  Ling Feng said lightly to Ye Lan, "It can be seen that there are too many ignorant people in the world. How can they understand the subtleties of the Tian Xuan Fragmented Wood Sword?"

  Ye Lan nodded gently and said, "This is natural. Under the sky, who else can compare with you in the art of sword casting? And with me, Tian Er, Rou Er and a group of friends from Cangshan, it's not enough for the younger generation to understand you?" The two hearts were reflected in each other, a warm and fuzzy feeling!

  "It seems like today is quite lively, Lin Zhangmen. On such an important day, why didn't you inform this immortal one?" A charming voice suddenly came from outside the crowd's laughter, and it was heard clearly amidst the commotion.

  Liu Chenfei knew who the visitor was, but seeing that she had come uninvited, his face slightly changed color, and he said in a low voice to the two senior brothers: "She... how did she get here?"

  Lin Ruo Chi and Gu Bai Yun still had a faint, subtle smile, as if they hadn't heard anything. At this moment, Chu Jiu had already received the Tian Xuan Suo Mu Jian, and with excitement, he shaved his hair and made a solemn oath. After finishing, he stood up on one side, looking out at the courtyard outside.

  Only a green-clad woman and two young girls in blue and white clothes were seen entering the courtyard.

  That woman, who should be around forty years old, looked like she was only in her thirties. As she spoke, her eyes darted back and forth, her gaze flowing, and she was enchantingly beautiful.

  Today, the mountain is filled with masters, and Dian Cang's disciples are on guard, but they haven't relaxed. The three of them can sneak in without being detected, it's really impressive! Behind her, two girls each held a sword, among whom the girl in green was 15 or 16 years old, although she was a young girl, she had a beautiful face and snow-white skin.

  But the girl in white, with a white veil covering half her face, only revealing a pair of big eyes flashing outside, everyone in Tiān Nán knew at once that this was the custom of the Tiān Nán Five Poison Sect, and they didn't find it strange.

  She was young and stood coldly, but she had a sharp aura, her eyes swept across the crowd in the grand hall, and the younger generation who lacked determination felt their hearts fluttering, the white-clothed girl in her eyes slowly became more charming, moving people's hearts, and was not inferior to the enchanting woman.

  Why did the Five Poisons Sect gather at Mount Cangshan on this day when heroes from all over the world have gathered?

  That enchanting woman walked in, extremely enchanting, her face turned upwards to the sky with a big smile. But as soon as she entered, seeing Master Changkong and Daoist Yunyun also present, although they didn't know each other, from their attire, one could tell that they were monks. Looking again at the seating arrangement far away, above the recognizable "Shenmang Mountain Villa" couple, Mr. and Mrs. Lian, the master of Dali's "Bai Dao Men", Wang Daozhuan, and the leader of the "Bai Wei Biaoju" agency, "Tie Dan Jin Qiang" Zhou Weimeng, she realized that they were high-ranking members of the Shaolin and Wudang sects, which made her heart skip a beat.

  She looked down again and saw that the people around the two were all masters of Kunlun, Congtou and Qingcheng sects. They all had high foreheads, sharp eyes, and were indeed masters. She couldn't help but change her expression, wondering if she shouldn't have come today after all. However, in the end, she still forced herself to walk in, came to the main hall, and paid respects with a bow, not daring to lose in etiquette.

  "The fifth immortal sect's messenger, Ding Hehua, conveys the sect leader's oral message: 'Congratulations to your esteemed sect's seventh generation great disciple on the successful completion of the Sword Conferring Ceremony!' As soon as Ding Hehua spoke, the crowd erupted into another commotion. Having been in Tiān Nán for decades, she naturally knew that today was the Diǎn Cāng Sect's Sword Conferring Ceremony. Although her words were congratulatory, there was no gift accompanying them, and it seemed like an offhand remark."

  "On the ninth day of the first month, he thought: 'These three women dare to climb the mountain today, they must be well-prepared!'"

  Among the crowd on the mountain, more than half of them had already known that she was a member of the Five Poison Sect, but after she said it herself, there was still a burst of noise and discussion.

  "It's indeed the Five Poisons Sect!" "I don't know if the Dian Cang Sect has any connection with the Five Poisons Sect, but what about Liangzi?" Although the crowd's voices were low, Chujiu still heard them clearly: "Today, the Five Poisons Sect came to the mountain, are they here to provoke and pick a fight?"

  At the beginning of the ninth day, in the southern part of the sky, it is naturally known that the Five Poison Sect's Miao territory is dominated by a single overlord, using poison to the extreme, making the world tremble with fear. Xiangxi and Yungui are all within its sphere of influence, but it is not a case of indiscriminately killing innocent people!

  The only strange thing in the world of martial arts is that the Five Poisons Sect has been at peace with the prestigious and orthodox Diancang Sect for decades.

  Ding Hehua calls herself the Five Immortals Sect, but in the Jianghu, more than half of the people call it the Five Poisons Sect. It's only natural that the demonic sect calls itself the Holy Sect, while Zhongyuan simply calls it the Demonic Sect!

  Lin Ruo Chi and Dian Cang were not afraid of the Five Poisons Sect, but today's ascent was mostly made up of local heroes and wealthy families from Tian Nan, many of whom had suffered at the hands of the Five Poisons Sect. If a conflict were to arise, it would likely harm many innocent people.

  "Ah, thank you for your kindness, Master. Lin Mou has taken note!" Lin Rouchi smiled and said. He naturally didn't want Ding Hehua to stay on the mountain for long, so he took two steps forward and said: "Another day, if there's an opportunity, Lin Mou will definitely come to visit and thank you in person. If not, please forgive me for not being able to invite guests to drink tea, I won't see you off far!"

  Lin Ruo Chi naturally didn't want Ding He Hua to stay on the mountain for long, and as he spoke, he employed a bit of the Cang Sect's "Cang Yang Xuan Qing Qi" inner strength.

  Ding Hehua only felt an invisible pressure pressing down on her head, and she was about to retreat when the pressure suddenly disappeared. She then realized that Lin Ruochi had only given her a small warning and didn't intend to hurt her.

  While those around him, except for Gu Baiyun, Changkong Master, Liuyun Daoist, Jian Zeng went out, the others knew nothing.

  Lin Ruochi naturally thought of it, several months ago, the Five Poisons Sect had sent an invitation to say that the old sect master was immortal and the new sect master took office. At that time, he himself was in seclusion for practice, his senior brother was far away in Central Plains, and he also wanted to keep a distance from the Five Poisons Sect, so he only sent his eleventh disciple Wu Jincai to send gifts, without sending his eldest disciple to congratulate him personally.

  Later, after Wu Jincai returned to the mountain, Lin Ruoqi also asked about the situation along the way and there was nothing unexpected. Therefore, just now his whole body's internal force only suddenly burst out, but did not launch an attack, and as soon as he saw Ding Hehua's face change slightly, he withdrew it in time, without harming her.

  He is the leader of a faction, and this secret move has its own style.
