Traveling day and night, traveling through wind and rain, all the way eastward, we finally arrived at Chixia Valley.
Chixia Valley is located in the south of Geling Mountain in Kunlun Mountains, more than 300 miles away from Duoya Peak and Mangu Forest. It is named because of the blazing clouds in the morning and evening. The valley is surrounded by towering mountains. There is a long and narrow gap in the southwest, which stretches for several miles. At its narrowest point, only two people can pass side by side.
As early as half a month ago, the Kunlun sect had stationed more than 20 disciples at the entrance of the valley to welcome the seven side sects. Still on the road, still a few days to go.
The one who leads the way for the Xiandu Sect is a sword cultivator from Kunlun's direct lineage. His surname is Zhou and his name is Ji. He is very young and has a face like a crown jewel. His speech is neither humble nor overbearing. He is polite and thoughtful, and has the demeanor of a famous disciple.
Xi Huzi asked politely about his inheritance, and Zhou Ji replied: "My disciple worships Elder Qin of the Five Elements Sect."
The Kunlun Sword Cultivator lineage can be divided into direct line and side branch. , the direct line is the five sects of Yujian, Wu Xing, Poison Sword, Gou Si, and Feiyu, and the side branches are the seven sects of Liyang, Xuantong, Yuanrong, Shaoling, Yuxu, Pingyuan, and Xiandu. The side branches of the direct line are except Jianxiu. , there are also disciples who specialize in medicine refining, sword making, restraint and other miscellaneous subjects. Zhou Ji's master, Qin Zijie, was originally a disciple of the Five Elements Sect. Due to dereliction of duty, he was expelled from the Sword Art and was demoted to serve in the Pingyuan sect. With a semi-disabled body, he re-trained the Sword Art, made several outstanding achievements, and returned to the Five Elements Sect. All the way to the position of Kunlun Elder.
Xi Huzi was born in Feiyu Sect and had heard about this anecdote. He frowned slightly, then relaxed and said, "Is Elder Qin coming to Chixia Valley this time?"
"Yes, Master, he will host this Chixia Valley sword debate."
Xi Huzi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but secretly smile bitterly. Even the disciples looked at each other, feeling that this arrangement was for the Xiandu Sect.
Among the seven Kunlun branch factions, Xiandu and Pingyuan have always been at odds in terms of relationship. In terms of strength, Xiandu and Xuantong are both at the bottom, and Qin Zijie happens to be inextricably involved with these two factions. . He once practiced cultivation in Qianren Peak. Ji Hongru, the head of Pingyuan, looked at him with special eyes and took good care of him. Han Chisong, the head of Xuantong, was from the Five Elements Sect and was a distant relative of Qin Zijie. No matter how close he was, Elder Qin was It is impossible to be impartial and impartial.
Chixia Valley occupies a large area. There are waterfalls, deep pools, peach groves and monasteries in the valley. It is a first-class place in Kunlun Mountain. The Xiandu sect and his party were placed in Taoyuan Villa, adjacent to the Liyang and Shaoling sects. The seven side sects, headed by the Liyang sect and the Shaoling sect, are beyond the reach of the Immortal Capital. They have no conflict of interest and can get along with each other.
It was still late, so Xi Huzi summoned four disciples into a quiet room for a secret discussion. Zhao Zongxuan, Sima Yang, and Han Tuo made an appointment to have some fun in the valley, and greeted Wei Shiqi, who politely declined. , Zhao Zongxuan had always had a grudge against him, but now he even felt that this man was aloof and aloof, and not worthy of deep friendship.
After the three people left, Wei Shiqi quietly got up and walked around to the peach grove behind Beppu. There were thumb-sized cicadas everywhere along the way, shouting "I know, I know, I know". stop, paveThe sky covered the earth and it was deafening.
He looked around carefully and saw no one nearby, so he released the Hidden Snow Sword from the sword pouch. Like a trapped dragon emerging from the abyss, the Hidden Snow Sword buzzed, and the demon elixir in the dantian also trembled.
Wei Shiqi used his left hand to draw the sword, and the Hidden Snow Sword floated crookedly, hovering in the air. With no distracting thoughts in his mind, he urged the flying sword to slide slowly beside him, and practiced the sword-handling technique for a while. He was so unfamiliar and clumsy that even he felt that he could not handle it.
That day in Qixia Cave, Xi Huzi taught him the art of sword control and told him to practice diligently. However, Wei Shiqi was busy with worldly affairs and never had time to study it carefully, so his progress was extremely slow.
A slow voice suddenly sounded, as if the elder was lecturing the younger: "You are too weak. You haven't even learned the art of sword control. Aren't you afraid of being bullied?"
Wei Shiqi looked up and saw Ruan Jing's pretty face, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling. She was sitting on the peach tree, swinging her feet. She still looked fifteen or sixteen years old, and the years had not left any trace on her body. . He laughed, put away the Hidden Snow Sword, and said, "Miss Ruan, we meet again!"
Ruan Jing glanced at him casually and said, "You have indeed come to Chixia Valley. I saw you right! The erysipelas has been resolved, and you look good. Hey, who taught you the breathing technique?"
Wei Shiqi was stunned for a moment, then he said tentatively: "Jie Tianling Senior White Snake taught me a formula to lock the bloodline breath deep in the body without being noticed by others. Is this a breathing technique?"
Ruan Jing looked a little weird and said with a smile: "Senior White Snake, haha. , that’s it. I didn’t expect that she would look at you differently. It’s rare... She told you the secret of bloodline?”
“Yes, Senior White Snake said that I have the bloodline of Long Zeba Snake in my body. They can barely be considered a kin."
Ruan Jing jumped down from the tree, looked up at his face, her eyes suddenly lit up, she took his left hand, pressed the mark on the back of his hand, and said. : "The bloodline has awakened, faster than I expected."
"Thank you to Miss Ruan for the Penglai bag. It was a big help. Looking back now, I still feel scared."
"It's very thrilling - the bloodline awakens and the remaining soul seizes the body. This is a trick used by the ancient demon clan. You are lucky. Even if you have the help of Penglai Bag, the chance of surviving this level is less than 30%."
< p>Wei Shiqi knew very well that if it hadn't been for chance, Penglai Bag had devoured the souls of many monsters, and he might not have been able to subdue the remaining soul of Ba Snake."What will happen if you can't survive?" He asked curiously.
Ruan Jing reached out and poked his chest, smiling and saying: "You are no longer you, and the Demon Suppression Tower at Flowing Stone Peak will be your final destination. Don't worry, if that day comes, I will Would you like to come see you often and talk to you?"
"Okay...that's great..." Wei Shiqi thought she was telling a cold joke.
