clang!
As soon as the old man finished speaking, the door in the shop swung shut. The moment the door was closed, the space in the shop instantly became dark.
Xiao Chen looked around and was horrified to find that the shelves around him seemed to have disappeared. Looking around, there was only an endless black screen, with no edge visible at a glance.
Click!
The long sword was unsheathed, and a cold light flashed on the dark blade of the Moon Shadow Knife, and the sword flashed. After using the sword-drawing technique, Xiao Chen jumped into the air and decided to take the lead and strike directly at the old man.
The old man still stood in front of him with an unchanged expression, but in Xiao Chen's feeling, the distance between him and the old man seemed to be thousands of miles apart.
He kept his body in the air, standing with a knife and leaping in the air, as if he had crossed countless distances, but he was never even close to the old man.
It's clearly right in front of us, but it seems further away than the horizon, with no end in sight.
Here, a small world has actually evolved, and it is still a small world that can be controlled. Xiao Chen looked at the old man's calm face and was extremely surprised. Could this old man be a saint
"Go out and calm down! In the future, you must learn to respect the elderly and love the young."
The old man waved his long sleeves gently, and an irresistible force came. Xiao Chen's body flew backwards at an extremely fast speed, and there was a constant sound of wind in his ears.
boom!
Xiao Chen seemed to have traveled through countless planes, and landed directly on the ground with a bang. When he looked up, he found himself. Lying on the street, people were coming and going, looking at Xiao Chen strangely.
Being looked at like a fool, Xiao Chen quickly got up and found out. After checking his body, he found that there was no damage. The old man obviously kept his hand.
Transforming the world and mastering the laws of space are abilities only possessed by saints. Is the old man really a saint
Xiao Chen felt it was a bit impossible, because the old man gave him the impression that his aura was not much stronger than that of Ying Yue. He was just a Martial Emperor and could not be a Martial Saint.
Dissipating his spiritual consciousness, Xiao Chen closed his eyes and controlled his spiritual consciousness to extend into the old man's shop. A powerful aura appeared in his mind. After a while, Xiao Chen discovered the source of the aura.
It was a rectangular wooden box in the shop. His consciousness wanted to penetrate the wooden box, but he found that there was an invisible barrier blocking his consciousness.
Xiao Chen tried several times without giving up, but all failed. Finally, he focused his consciousness on the old man. He raised his eyebrows and discovered a phenomenon that surprised him beyond measure.
Withdrawing his consciousness, Xiao Chen murmured in his heart that there was no martial spirit in this man's body, but the aura on his body clearly showed that he must have been at least a martial arts master at the king level.
In this case, there is only one reason. This former master was seriously injured and his martial spirit was wiped out, and he became a complete useless person.
Even so, Xiao Chen was still extremely afraid of the old man. The wooden box contained either a complete holy weapon or a king-level offensive secret treasure. The old man was an invincible presence in the shop.
Xiao Chen shook his head. Since the old man had no ill intentions, there was no need for him to pester him. Turning around and leaving this place, Xiao Chen still couldn't calm down. Could it be that there are so many shops outside the city of swords hiding such masters
With this thought, Xiao Chen unknowingly walked into another shop. The owner of the shop was a middle-aged uncle. Xiao Chen stared at this man with burning eyes, trying to see something different.
"Little brother, do you... want to buy something?" Xiao Chen looked at the middle-aged man and asked with a trembling voice.
When Xiao Chen came back to his senses after hearing this, he felt a little regretful. This man was really just an ordinary shop owner, there was nothing outstanding about him.
But how to answer the boss's question is a problem. After all, we already know that the soul soldiers here will not be sold to outsiders.
Xiao Chen thought for a while and decided to ask about Leng Tianyue. After all, he had committed a heinous crime by assassinating Leng Liusu. He asked tentatively: "Inquire about something. Is there anything big happening in Daocheng recently?"
The middle-aged man glanced at Xiao Chen meaningfully and said: "Speaking of major events, there are major events every day in Sword City. There is nothing surprising, but an amazing thing did happen a few days ago."
The boss said and then stopped. Xiao Chen understood what he had received and received a banknote. The boss took it directly and glanced at it casually, and found that it was a banknote worth 10,000 taels.
He couldn't help but feel happy on his face, and he said with a smile: "A few days ago, Leng Tianyue, the eldest son of the master of Tianyue Peak in Lingyun Mountains, came back from outside and broke into the Heavenly Sword Soul Losing Array."
As expected, it was about Leng Tianyue. Xiao Chen couldn't help but curiously asked: "Why is he going to the Heavenly Sword Soul Losing Array?"
The shop owner chuckled and said, "What you are doing, of course, is to draw the sword. There is a rumor that has been circulating in the Heavenly Sword Pavilion for thousands of years. As long as you break into the center of the Heavenly Sword Soul Losing Array and pull out the sub-divine weapon inside, you will be dead." You can become the Pavilion Master of Tiandao Pavilion immediately."
"Then did he pull it out?" Xiao Chen asked with interest. He didn't expect such a thing to happen in the Tiandao Pavilion, which was surprising.
It's interesting to think about whether a person from the Jianlan Sect would become the master of the Tiandao Pavilion if he pulled out this sword.
The middle-aged boss sighed and said: "That is a divine weapon, second only to the divine weapon in the world. It can split mountains and rocks, shake the sky, even saints have to avoid its sharp edge, how could it be pulled out so easily. "
"What's more, there are ninety-nine and eighty-one small formations in the Heavenly Sword Soul-losing Formation, which are interlocked to form a large formation. It has existed since ancient times. To pass through it, you need not only the realm, but also the skill of swordsmanship. understand."
"How could he, a top martial artist, break in? He was trapped in the seventh small formation, and was finally rescued by his father."
Xiao Chen was completely interested and asked quickly: "What happened next?"
The boss was also a little confused about what happened next, and said: "What happened next is what I heard. Leng Tianyue seemed to have made some mistake, and his father wanted to put him in solitary confinement. As a result, he lost his cultivation. Take the initiative to be imprisoned in the sword prison of Tiandao Pavilion."
Hearing the news, Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know why Leng Tianyue wanted to imprison him in the sword prison, it would be good if he could not meet him.
Taking the Moon Shadow Sword, Xiao Chen walked directly towards the Sword City. After a while, he arrived at the gate of the city and began to pay the city entrance tax. The way of paying the city entrance tax here also surprised Xiao Chen.
The amount of the tax is actually determined by the weight of the swords held by the warrior. No matter how many swords you have, no matter what quality you have, the total weight will be how much you pay.
"The blade weighs eighty-five kilograms, and the scabbard weighs seventy kilograms. The total weight is one hundred and fifty-five kilograms. Little brother, you have to pay the city tax of one thousand one hundred and fifty-five taels of silver." The two warriors guarding the gate, He took Xiao Chen's Moon Shadow Knife off the scale and said to Xiao Chen with a smile.
Xiao Chen was sweating in his heart. This was really not that expensive. When he saw a brother carrying seven long knives on his back, he became even more depressed and was charged 10,000 taels of silver.
However, the money that should be paid still had to be paid, and Xiao Chen had no choice but to do so after paying the money. The gatekeeper asked Xiao Chen a few questions and recorded his place of origin, name and age.
He handed Xiao Chen a form and said: "Go to the side to apply for an identity card. In the future, you will not need to pay the city entry tax again with the identity card to enter and exit Daocheng."
Xiao Chen smiled softly: "Fortunately, it doesn't charge every time, otherwise all the family property will be deducted."
The application for the identity tag was relatively simple. After handing in the form, after waiting for half an hour, the other party presented a wooden tag with Xiao Chen's information engraved on the front and a long knife and a mountain peak engraved on the back.
Tying the wooden sign around his waist, Xiao Chen finally entered this world-famous sword city. The streets in the city were densely packed with warriors with swords.
You can see a ring every few hundred meters, and each ring is crowded with people, making it very lively. He brought his martial spirit to the extreme in Tianwu Continent.
Apart from being full of swordsmen and having more arenas, there is not much difference between Sword City and other cities.
After Xiao Chen asked people about the location of the City Lord's Mansion, he quickly walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.
The city lord of Sword City is directly appointed by Tiandao Pavilion and manages the entire outer gate of Tiandao Pavilion. The city lord's status in the sect is second only to those of the peak masters, and he also has a seat in the Council of Elders.
In front of the city lord's mansion, Xiao Chen handed the letter of recommendation given to him by Feng Feixue to the guard in front of the door. The red letter of recommendation bears the seal and emblem of the Feng family, as well as Feng Feixue's autograph.
The guard identified the authenticity of the recommendation letter and asked Xiao Chen to wait for a while while he reported it first.
Not long after waiting, the man ran over quickly and said with an apologetic smile: "Brother, the city lord is meeting with distinguished guests. You may have to wait a little longer. Come with me to the side hall to have a rest first!"
The attitude of the City Lord's Mansion was very humble. Xiao Chen did not feel that he was an important person. He smiled lightly and followed this person into the City Lord's Mansion with a relaxed expression.
After passing through several courtyards and gardens, Xiao Chen was taken to the side hall. The guard immediately left and left Xiao Chen alone here. He waited for a long time.
