Lin Buyan liked She Xuan very much. The first time he saw this child, he knew that this girl was a good match for him.
For this reason, he took the risk of being kicked tonight, took out the precious treasure inherited from his master, and entrusted the jade pendant and Lu Bei to She Yan.
She Xuan accepted the second jade pendant without thinking, and she felt terrible.
Lu Buwang didn't like her, but Lin Buyan was just the opposite. The deeper one's dislike for her, the more preference the other had for her, which perfectly interpreted the mutual respect between husband and wife.
There are guests at home.
Although she was a little confused by the couple's completely opposite attitudes, She Xuan had already seen through the old woman's ugly face. The two jade pendants were the best evidence. The sisterhood before was all acting. There had never been an intimate elder sister. Everything was a conspiracy to relax her vigilance.
At this point, Bai Jin's repeated jumps between the passerby old woman and the intimate big sister finally paid off, and she stabilized in the category of plastic sister.
Lin Buyan entrusted the jade pendant to Lu Buwang, indicating that it was of great significance. He also said that since She Xuan had come, he must take care of her and that she would have a share of the opportunities in the secret realm. He secretly stuffed a map into his hand in front of Lu Buwang, leaving behind the kind and reliable back of an elder.
Lu Buwang gritted her teeth. She had guessed before that the secret realm had been explored. Lin Buyan had the backup data in his hand. She reached out and asked for it to give to her lovely little nephew. The latter insisted that the Iron Sword Conference was fair and just, and there was absolutely no shady deal.
Now, I don’t even want to act anymore.
Is it so great to be the head of the family? Do you know who is the boss of this family
Lu Buwang was careless for a moment, and Lu Bei seized the opportunity and disappeared on the spot by escaping underground.
…
As for Bai Jin, he followed Lin Buyan to Yingjian Pavilion and received a voice message and an exquisite black jade sword pendant.
"Master, isn't this sword the master's token? How come..."
"It is not only the headmaster's token, but also a precious treasure passed down from our ancestor, the old man with the sword in his arms."
Lin Buyan transmitted the secret of Lingxiao Sword Sect to Bai Jin: "The Nine Swords title that Master bears is just an empty name. This sword is the real Nine Swords. Its name is 'Da Shi Tian', one of the Nine Divine Swords of Tianjian Sect. If it is driven by the Immortal Sword Intent, it will have supreme power. Unfortunately, no one can learn the Immortal Sword Intent. You use the Changchong Sword Intent to drive Da Shi Tian, so the power will be greatly reduced."
Speaking of this, Lin Buyan sighed.
With Bai Jin's rare aptitude in swordsmanship, it would not be impossible for her to learn the second and third sword styles. However, she was so devoted to swordsmanship and had great respect for swordsmanship that she could not perfect the Changchong sword style and rejected other sword styles. Meditation on the wall of Tianjian Peak only helped her improve the Changchong sword style.
The remaining eight kinds of sword intent came at her like raindrops, and she dodged them one by one, taking their essence to sharpen her sword heart.
Lin Buyan didn't know what to make of this. He said that Bai Jin was stubborn, but his talent was there. Perhaps it was because of his sincerity that he didn't give any chance to other sword intents, and that's why Changchong's sword intent was able to improve again and again.
"Master, you suddenly bestow this sword on your disciple, but there are great dangers in the secret realm?" Bai Jin frowned. Thinking of Mei Wangsu's visit today, he couldn't help feeling uneasy.
Compared with the great dangers in the secret realm, he was more worried that Lin Buyan would encounter an accident after passing on the token to his son.
"Yes, although the secret realm is controlled by this sect master, no one is allowed to enter without the permission of Lingxiao Sword Sect. However, before this sect controlled the secret realm, it was explored once by people from Tianjian Sect."
Lin Buyan analyzed: "Perhaps because of the tight time, they did not dig out too many treasures, but it is easy to conceal one or two entrances and exits. I am worried that there are other evil people with the name 'Bu' who have infiltrated among them and want to kill the elites of our sect."
Having said that, Lin Buyan looked at Bai Jin deeply. She was the elite.
"What does Master mean?"
"Don't have the intention to harm others, otherwise you will be punished by God."
Lin Buyan gave a warning, and then said: "They have the intention to harm others. If you hold the power, you will be punished by heaven. It is better to strike first and do not give the evildoers any chance to take advantage of you."
This sentence was a bit confusing. Bai Jin nodded and frowned, "Master, I understand what you mean. Fortune and misfortune go hand in hand in the secret realm. It is not surprising that accidents occur."
"That's right, you are indeed a very insightful person."
"But Master, a teacher must have a legitimate reason to act. If I strike first, wouldn't I be considered a person with evil intentions?" Bai Jin said.
"That's fine. It's easy to find excuses to accuse someone of something. Is it hard to say that he's a bad guy?"
Lin Buyan waved his hand and said, "You can kill as many people as you want. I will personally arrange the charges. The Lingxiao Sword Sect is a gentleman, and the principles are on our side."
If the Tianjian Sect and Mei Wangsu had no intention of harming anyone, then he would be a villain for once and had wrongly accused the other party. However, if there really were treacherous people of the "Bu" generation who entered the secret realm through the back door and were shameless enough to bully the weak, then don't blame him, Lin, for being prepared.
Speaking of which, Lin Buyan was eager for these people to go in. In the past, with Tianjian Sect and Mei Wangsu watching, he couldn't find a chance to take action against these fellow disciples. But today, with Bai Jin holding the Nine Swords, he would definitely make them give up as many as they came.
This is a sure thing!
"Master, I took away the sect's treasure. You don't have the magic sword to protect you. What if..."
"There is no such thing as a single event. If I want to die, the Heavenly Sword Sect will be the first one to disagree."
At this point, Lin Buyan felt somewhat guilty. On the one hand, he had severed his connection with Dashitian and entrusted everything to Bai Jin. His own combat power had been greatly reduced. If he were to encounter a stubborn sword cultivator who came to challenge him, he would most likely be humiliated.
Secondly, although he looked down on Mei Wangsu and believed that he was a fool with muscles stuffed inside his head, he was afraid that the fool would suddenly do whatever he wanted without considering the overall situation and try to kill him.
Without the protection of Dashitian, the chance of him being able to breathe after taking the next attack was less than one in a thousand.
For a moment, Lin Buyan was quite moved, the familiar feeling came back again.
The last time it was so exciting was the day Mo Buxiu left the mountain gate, when he was nearly beaten to death.
The last time, he became Mu Lichen's apprentice. That day was even more exciting...
Almost died.
…
The Iron Sword Conference venue.
Huangji Sect elder Wei Hong put down the microphone, pursed his lips, and seemed to be feeling a little unsatisfied.
Although the sword cultivators were too stubborn to comprehend his art of public speaking, it was extremely enjoyable to hear him speak for two hours in a row.
Lin Buyan, who was presiding over the meeting, took the microphone and gave a few words of encouragement. Then he waved his hand and said happily, "Let all the outstanding disciples in the alliance know that just now, the leader of the Tianjuan Iron Sword Alliance had the honor to discover a secret realm around the venue at the same time as Elder Jing."
The look of surprise didn't seem fake, it just seemed real.
In an instant, the entire venue fell silent. The sword cultivators were stunned at first, but then showed ecstasy. From what Lin Buyan said, it seemed like they were about to take a sip of soup.
Wei Hong was not in the mood. Upon hearing this, his face turned pale and he glared at Lin Buyan with flaming eyes. He wished he could tear this hypocritical and pretentious man to pieces on the spot and kill him.
"The secret realm appeared suddenly, and Elder Jing and this sect leader were both caught off guard."
The fiery gaze ignited a flame on his collar. Lin Buyan raised his hand to extinguish it, and continued with an unchanged expression: "Let's discuss it. Why don't we take advantage of this opportunity of sword fighting to let all the disciples enter the secret realm. You can fight while exploring your own opportunities."
Wei Hong: “…”
Bullshit, you clearly planned this in advance!
He walked away, ending the three-day ceremony early. He caught a glimpse of the halfway point on the mountain and a sneer appeared on his lips.
Since this Iron Sword Conference was held in Yuezhou, not the unattainable Tianjian Sect headquarters, there were quite a few cultivators who came to join in the fun.
In the name of the Sword Cultivation Conference, Lingxiao Sword Sect blocked most of the people who came for fun and let in quite a few independent sword cultivators.
These people may have insignificant abilities, but they are numerous and powerful, and can be used to add popularity to the secret realm and disgust the Iron Sword Alliance at the same time.
Thinking of this, Wei Hong felt relieved.
"Don't worry, fellow cultivators. You have come all the way to Yuezhou, and Lingxiao Sword Sect will not let you make a wasted trip. I have obtained the consent of Elder Jing. Everyone will have a share in this secret realm, and everyone will have a chance."
Wei Hong: “…”
"Master Gao Yi."
"Master Lin will fight five of them tonight!"
"What did I say? Sect Leader Lin is a well-known gentleman. His manners towards others are impeccable. He will definitely not treat us unfairly."
"Master Lin will fight ten of them tonight!"
"We swear to follow Lingxiao Sword Sect until death!"
"Master Lin will fight one hundred people tonight—"
"… "
The place was crowded with people, and the independent cultivators who had heard the news were extremely excited. Ignoring the voice that tried to distort the rhythm, overall, the rhythm arranged by Lin Buyan this time was still remarkable.
Then, the wandering cultivators heard Lin Buyan speak again.
"Listen to what Lin has to say, all the casual cultivators. Although everyone has a share in the secret realm, I have to be frank with you..."
"After all, the secret realm is a gift from heaven to the Iron Sword Alliance. I can ask for an opportunity for you, but the premise is that I will not wrong my family. I hope you can understand this!"
"Master Lin, there's no fight tonight!"
"Also, the secret realm has not been explored yet, so it is hard to say whether it is auspicious or not. To prevent those with insufficient cultivation from losing their lives, and to prevent evil spirits from sneaking in and killing Iron Sword Alliance disciples, all independent cultivators entering the secret realm must queue up to register."
"Master Lin won't be able to fight tomorrow night!"
A voice that tried to distort the rhythm was mixed in the crowd. Sima Buzheng, the head of the Jiejian Academy, led a team to search for it, but found nothing after several attempts.
Fortunately, it was not completely useless. The aggressive and tough search made the thieves with bad intentions shut up and stop talking. The rhythm on the field was once again controlled by Lin Buyan.
"My fellow cultivators, this is all I can do for you. Please forgive me for my negligence."
Lin Buyan pointed to the middle of the mountain and said, "Go to the venue quickly. Elder Jing has arranged for someone to register. After your identity is verified, you can get a badge to enter the secret realm. It's first come, first served. Everyone, please pay attention to the order. Anyone who cuts in line will be expelled from Cang Qianshan."
When the wandering cultivators swarmed to the venue and spent half a day finding the registration office in the corner, they were shocked to discover that there was only one window and the Tianjian Sect disciple in charge of registration was a white-bearded old man who could not even open his eyes.
He held the brush in one trembling hand and the porcelain bottle in the other, and took a life-extending pill every few breaths.
"… "
Damn the Tianjian Sect, in order to protect the opportunities of their own disciples, they actually used such despicable means, totally not as open as Sect Leader Lin!
