The identity of the descendant of the Thunder Emperor was Xiao Chen's most sensitive identity. At this moment, when he heard this person mention it again, he quickly grasped the handle of the knife with his right hand, gathering his momentum and preparing to take action at any time.
The old man smiled calmly and said: "Don't be nervous. If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn't have given you this scabbard that day. Otherwise, the people in the Presbyterian Council would have sensed the breath of the thunderwood sword and hit you on the spot." kill."
Having said that, Xiao Chen's vigilance did not decrease in the slightest. The feeling of having his life in the hands of others made him very uncomfortable.
If we understand the old man in another way, if the old man wants to harm him, as long as his identity is announced, he will immediately face disaster.
Xiao Chen said in a deep voice: "Then why did you ask me to come here? It's not just a simple meeting."
The old man did not directly answer Xiao Chen's question, but said: "Although I cannot leave the winding rock at my feet, no matter how big or small what happens in the Tiandao Pavilion, it cannot be hidden from my eyes."
Can't move away from the rock you're sitting on? Xiao Chen spread his spiritual consciousness and looked carefully at the stone where the old man sat. As his spiritual consciousness swept, some things invisible to the naked eye appeared in Xiao Chen's mind.
On the winding rock, black tentacles, like vines, tightly wrapped around the old man's body. The tentacles were extremely terrifying and exuded a black misty evil spirit.
Xiao Chen withdrew his consciousness and looked again, only to find that everything was as usual and he saw nothing. It turns out that when Song Que from Biyun Peak came to kill him, the old man was unable to help.
The reason is probably due to these black tentacles. The feeling given by the tentacles to Xiao Chen is somewhat similar to the Corpse King's Seal that once appeared in his body.
Sensing Xiao Chen's spiritual consciousness, the old man was slightly surprised in his eyes. Such a powerful soul power already has my own soul power, and he seems to be more skilled than me in using it.
Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze and said calmly: "What you can see is none of my business. I came to Tiandao Pavilion in a private capacity."
"I just want to learn how to hear swords and channel spirits. I will never cause any other troubles in the Tiandao Pavilion. I also ask senior not to keep mentioning my identity as the descendant of the Thunder Emperor."
The expression on the old man's face remained unchanged, and he chuckled: "Little friend, you have to notice that what I am saying is that everything in Tiandao Pavilion cannot be hidden from my eyes."
Having said this, the old man paused, glanced at Xiao Chen meaningfully, and continued: "Including everything that happened to you in the realm of spiritual veins, that is, in that medicine field."
Xiao Chen was completely shocked. He didn't expect that such secret things in the underground world would be discovered by this person. Then wouldn't everything in Tiandao Pavilion be under this person's control
The old man continued: "Don't think too much. Although I can see everything in the Tiandao Pavilion, I will not stare at a person for no reason. That consumes a lot of power. Most of my energy is spent on There is no time to care about you in the space cracks of Tiandao Pavilion."
"The last time I noticed you in the realm of spiritual veins, it was because I had to deal with the demon king of the Sirius clan, so I had to use my normal soul power."
Xiao Chen felt a little relieved, but he was still a little confused, "You have been talking for so long, but you still haven't said why you came to me."
"Young man, please be patient. There are some things that cannot be explained in one sentence." The expression on the old man's face remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "Since you have benefited from my senior Tiandao Pavilion, and you My daughter is also teaching me how to learn Sword Swordsmanship, so can I ask you for a favor?"
Help? Xiao Chen didn't hesitate much about this question. It made perfect sense to repay the favor and said, "As long as it is within the scope of my ability, I am willing to help."
However, there are so many talented people in Tiandao Pavilion. Why do we need help from a pawn like me? This is what Xiao Chen really wonders about.
He doesn't have this arrogance yet. With his current strength, there are too many people in Tiandao Pavilion who are stronger than him. He has no idea why the old man asked him for help.
So he also kept an eye on it, and would only help those within his ability. If it was beyond his ability, he would not be able to help.
"Of course it is within your ability, and only you can do this. Remember your promise today."
…
What kind of help did the old man want from Xiao Chen? Xiao Chen didn't figure it out when he left the top of the mountain. The old man came and went with the same promise of remembering today.
Xiao Chen made a promise for no reason, and Xiao Chen was also a little depressed, but time was tight. When he arrived at the martial arts arena, he began to nervously understand the spiritual power of hearing the sword with the help of Liu Ruyue.
He had no time to be too depressed. After returning to his yard at night, he began to practice intensively and learn the Lingyun sword technique.
The time every day is very tight, and there is almost no free time, except for practicing.
At the same time, as the countdown to Tiandao Pavilion's annual core disciple assessment began, the entire Tiandao Pavilion entered into hard training.
Even some core disciples do not dare to relax, because according to regulations, some core disciples ranked lower will fight with ordinary disciples who are undergoing assessments. If they fight, they will lose their status as core disciples.
Such regulations are also a spur to them, so that they dare not neglect them.
In a forest at Tianyue Peak in the Lingyun Mountains, a young disciple wearing Tianyue Peak clothing was practicing his sword. The blade roared, radiating light, and whipped up strong winds.
One moment this person is like a butterfly spreading its wings, light and graceful, and the next moment it is soaring like an eagle, arrogant in all directions. Wherever the sword light passed, grass was destroyed, tree trunks were bent, leaves were flying on the ground, and fallen flowers were colorful.
Shocking!
The young man suddenly shouted softly and slashed out with his sword. The sword light on the blade condensed into a thin line and shot out with a swish. The thin line of sword energy slowly became thinner and finally became so thin that it could not be seen by the naked eye. to the point where it almost disappeared.
There was a satisfied smile on the young man's face, and with a shake, he sheathed the long knife. The moment the blade was completely inserted into the sheath.
boom!
In front of this person, in a straight line of 500 meters, all the big trees were cut in half, and the big trees continued to fall with a rumble.
Before this was over, a thin line of sword energy suddenly appeared in front of him. It was the sword light that he thought had disappeared. At the moment when all the big trees fell down, they spread out with a brush.
Like an unfolding water curtain, it created a layer of ripples in the air. Wherever it passed, the surrounding trees were annihilated into powder, turning into dust all over the sky, flying in the wind.
