A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality

Chapter 627: Trial of Swords by Three Factions (Part 1)

Views:

At one end of the square, in front of thousands of disciples, there were dozens of extremely eye-catching people standing there. The seven or eight monks who were a little earlier were all at or above the alchemy stage, and they were calm and relaxed, while the dozens of men and women in the back were all at or above the foundation establishment stage. They are the masters and elders of Baiqiaoyuan, as well as many stewards with various responsibilities.

"Here we come!" Some sharp-eyed disciple suddenly saw something and shouted excitedly. Immediately, all the low-ranking monks looked up one by one, only to see light flickering in the distant sky, and then a large group of colorful light spots, flying from far and near.

"It's the ancient sword gate, they all fly with sword weapons." Someone yelled again.

Hearing this, the crowd became even more commotion. Many people pointed at the light spots with different expressions.

"Silence! How is this so decent, do you want the other two factions to see the jokes of our Baiqiaoyuan?" A burly old man standing in front of the crowd suddenly said coldly after his face darkened. The sound resounded throughout the audience, and the other disciples who were a bit carried away immediately fell silent, and the huge square fell silent instantly.

Seeing this, the burly old man's expression of satisfaction eased slightly. The other alchemy stage monks looked at each other and smiled, as if they were no longer surprised by the situation.

At this moment, those monks from the Ancient Sword Sect flew over the square. Although it cannot be said that all of them wield swords, there are only a few of them who do not use swords.

"I didn't expect Brother Fu and the others to come out to greet us in person. Jiang is really flattered!" Among the monks of the Ancient Sword Sect, a short old man in his fifties or sixties who flew ahead laughed and landed first.

Next to him was a green-robed scholar and a white-clothed young woman, both of whom also smiled and fell side by side. It seemed that they were a married couple.

At this time. The other low-ranking monks from Gu Jianmen, who looked young, also dropped their weapons one by one.

"This time, it was Brother Jiang Yun who led the team, and Fu and the others should come out and wait for you, besides, there will be the famous White Bi Swords couple!" The burly old man said to the three of them with his usual expression.

"Okay, let's stop bragging, the two of us, and don't be afraid of the jokes of those juniors! It seems that the people from Luoyunzong haven't come yet, and their party is getting less and less interested in the sword test meeting. It won't be several times Being at the bottom makes them feel guilty, right?" The monk surnamed Jiang seemed to dislike the Luoyun Sect, and said gloatingly.

After hearing this, the old man surnamed Fu showed a wry smile on his face. Their Baiqiaoyuan is different from Gujianmen, he dare not say this easily, if it is passed to the ears of Luoyunzong's senior management, it will definitely cause a storm.

So, before the old man surnamed Fu was thinking about how to reply, a middle-aged man wearing a green robe behind the old man suddenly interjected with a grin: "You don't have to be so impatient, Jiang Daoist! , I heard that there is Song Xianzi from Baifengfeng Peak. This is a beautiful woman among our three factions. It is a pity that Song Xianzi used to hide her secrets in a simple way, and few people from my two factions have seen her. Now, it can be regarded as a taste Long-cherished wish!"

"Brother Shi is talking about Bai Fengxian, right? This woman is rumored to be extremely beautiful, and I have been famous for a long time. If this woman is really leading the team, it doesn't hurt to wait a while." Jiang Yun's eyes showed interest, He nodded and said.

Hearing this, the male and female monks from the Ancient Sword Sect were surprised, and the green-robed Confucian scholar among them was even more surprised and said: "I heard that this white phoenix fairy has the root of the heavenly spirit, and he can easily form a pill in less than a hundred years. Succeeded, it can be called a genius cultivating immortals once in a millennium in the world of cultivating immortals. It is a bit of a surprise to see this woman in this sword test conference!"

"Exactly! Even though I am a daughter, I am also very curious about this famous Fairy Song. If I can meet you today, it will be a beautiful thing!" Although the young woman in white looks ordinary, her voice is mellow and pleasant. People listened to it very pleasantly.

"This... Huh! It seems that someone from the Luoyun Sect is here!" The old man surnamed Fu smiled, and when he was about to say something, he suddenly looked to the sky and blurted out.

Upon hearing this, everyone nearby looked up at the same time, and saw a huge black spot gradually approaching towards the east.

"This is?" The monk surnamed Jiang from the Ancient Sword Sect changed his expression, as if he knew what it was.

When they got a little closer, the others finally saw clearly that it was a strange bird with a huge and unusual shape, galloping here at an astonishing speed. There are clusters of figures on the bird's back, as if there are many monks standing there.

"Hmph! The Luoyunzong only deserves to show off this alien blue light sculpture, and this strange bird can only change its size, it's just a fifth-level monster!" The monk surnamed Jiang looked at the big bird, Said with some sourness in his mouth.

The old man surnamed Fu waited for a few alchemy monks from the Baiqiao Academy to turn a blind eye, as if he hadn't heard the words. However, the young disciples present had obviously never seen such a big spirit beast before. The sound of gasping for a while was heard one after another, and everyone opened their eyes wide, staring at the astonishing figure of the giant bird, with a look of horror in their eyes. color.

The speed of the giant bird's escape was really astonishing. After waving its giant wings that scattered the blue light a few times, it reached the sky above everyone in the blink of an eye. The gigantic body of the giant eagle with its wings outstretched brought a large shadow at once, covering part of the square. At the same time, a gust of wind blew violently, making some low-level disciples who were standing unsteadily in the gust of wind turn pale. stand up.

"Stop!" A man's voice on the giant bird suddenly uttered, and the giant eagle retracted its wings and floated in mid-air without moving. At this time, on the back of the bird, many monks came down with their weapons.

"Hey, isn't this Brother Duan from Huoyun Peak? What a rare visitor!" The old man surnamed Fu saw the leader in red at a glance, his eyes lit up, and he hurried up to meet him.

"Where! The last time we had a farewell to Yunzhou, I miss you a lot!" The old man in the red shirt laughed and said with a smile, and at the same time glanced at the other person behind him.

"Brother Duan wants to find Elder Changzheng, right? Unfortunately, Junior Brother Chang is out on business. However, Junior Brother Chang should be able to come back later in the meeting!" The old man surnamed Fu said indifferently.

"That's it, then it doesn't matter! Whether you can reminisce about the old days is also a matter of chance. This is Junior Brother Yu. I don't need to introduce you. Everyone knows each other. But Junior Sister Song, this is the first time you have seen it, right?" ? Let me introduce you to one or two!" The red-shirted old man showed a hint of disappointment, but then looked normal, pointed at the stunning blue-clothed woman beside him, and said with a smile.

"Bai Fengxian's name, Fu has been heard like thunder in recent years! Now that I can see her face, it is really well-deserved!" The old man surnamed Fu narrowed his eyes and glanced at the girl surnamed Song. After the amazement flashed in his eyes, he praised .

"Senior Brother Fu is absurd, the little girl can't be called a fairy!" The blue-clothed Nvyu replied softly with a gentle smile on her face. This woman's quiet and pleasant demeanor made some low-ranking male cultivators in the vicinity shudder, showing a bit of obsession. And although those high-ranking monks are better, their eyes are more or less fiery.

At this time, the old man in red shirt and others also saw the people from Gu Jianmen, and they also went up to say hello.

Although the monk surnamed Jiang looked lukewarm, he reluctantly replied twice. It was the young woman in white, holding the female cultivator surnamed Song by the hand, talking non-stop with enthusiasm, like a sister.

And the woman in blue always responded gracefully and generously, and her gentle and polite behavior made people unable to pick out the slightest fault.

The next thing is simple, Baiqiao Courtyard has vacated two large mansions for Gu Jianmen and Luoyunzong after receiving the news for the two factions, let them have a good rest for a day, and then start the formal competition tomorrow.

But nothing happened that night, and the fierce competition between the three factions began early in the morning of the second day.

The competition was divided into three groups. Each faction selected ten contestants and 20 disciples from the other two factions to form a group. Each group went through two-two competitions, and only the top four were selected, and then the twelve disciples started again. Draw lots to decide the final winner and the top ten.

Because there are not many disciples participating, naturally there will be no competition in several venues at the same time, so it will be held in the same venue in order. The order of appearance in the competition is determined by the drawing of lots by the leading monks of the three factions, so there is nothing to say. As for the referee, the monks of the third faction who have nothing to do with the competition sect will be in charge, which is quite fair.

As a result, when many disciples of Baiqiaoyuan surrounded the arena, a bald man from Baiqiaoyuan stood in the middle of the shield and announced slowly and calmly: "The first group, Luoyunzong Han Li is against you!" Ancient Sword Gate Yao Feng!"

As the big man's voice fell, a disciple came out from Luoyunzong and Gujianmen's queues. After seeing the opponents of both sides clearly, the Baiqiaoyuan disciples who were watching around were commotion and whispering for a while.

"Am I not mistaken? One is the eleventh floor of the Qi Refining Stage, and the other is the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage!"

"Their cultivation bases are too poor!"

The disciple of Gu Jianmen with two long and short swords behind his back also looked at the opponent in surprise, and then a look of contempt flashed across his face. For him, with the opponent's cultivation base, defeating the opponent is almost effortless.

And his opponent, an ordinary-looking young man in a blue shirt, also frowned, as if he was a little embarrassed and confused.

Outside the mask, the alchemy cultivators of the three sects naturally wouldn't mix with those disciples, but gathered alone in a small open space, chatting leisurely.

"Brother Duan, is the Luoyun Sect really planning to give up this sword test meeting? How come even a disciple of the eleventh floor of the Qi refining period can pass the selection within the sect? You didn't just use it to make up the number, did you?" Jiang Yun couldn't help laughing dumbfounded when he saw the young man from the Luoyun Sect appearing on the stage.

"Huh, the eleventh floor? Not bad! I remember that when this disciple passed the selection in the sect, he was only on the tenth floor of the Qi refining stage. It's so rare that he has improved his cultivation so quickly!" Hearing what the other party said, the old man in red shirt said, But he replied calmly.

"What, the tenth floor is the time to pass the selection? Brother Duan, are you joking?" Jiang Yun from the Ancient Sword Sect showed disbelief when he heard this.

This time, the old man in red shirt just laughed and didn't answer.

Seeing this, Jiang Yun murmured in his heart, stopped talking, and began to pay attention to the situation in the field.

"The match begins!" The bald man finally announced in a deep voice in the air.

Hearing this, the young man shrugged his shoulders without hesitation, and suddenly two flying swords, one red and one blue, shot out from his back at the same time, floating in the sky above his head. At the same time, the green light flashed in his hand, and a green mask floating on the body. Then the young man quickly made a tactic with both hands, ready to drive the flying sword to attack the enemy.

But when he finished this set with great proficiency, there were as many as 50 or 60 red fireballs that suddenly appeared in front of him. These fireballs were filled with scorching fire waves, and rushed towards him in a threatening manner.

"Ah!" This Yao Feng was shocked, his face turned pale with horror.

However, he is worthy of being a monk in the foundation period, and he has rich experience in fighting the enemy. In his haste, he gave up driving the magic weapon without thinking. At the same time, his body immediately threw himself on the ground, and many fireballs swarmed past him. Suddenly, he broke out in a cold sweat. However, it also made him even more angry. Extremely frightened and furious, he turned over and wanted to jump up again to show the opponent some color, but there was a big black foot on his forehead, and he stomped down hard without mercy. Immediately, the high disciple of the ancient sword sect's eyes darkened, and he didn't know about his personnel.
