Chapter 26: People From The Myriad Swords Sect of West Ocean
Hidden Edge Sect, main peak.
The Sect Master and many elders of the seven branches were sitting in the reception hall.
A few months ago, they learned that the Myriad Swords Sect of West Ocean would come here, saying that they were here to trade some precious swords.
The Hidden Edge Sect, who had some experience in dealing with the Wan Xiang Sect and the Myriad Swords sect had already made the arrangements.
These holy places were tough and unyielding. The Hidden Edge Sect had decided long ago that they would not be bullied, neither would they take the initiative to clash with them, nor would they let others look down on them.
The four patriarchs had already taken their positions. After that, at least people from all the sects would come.
Ye Changge was currently sorting out his materials and gains. It was more important for him to grow stronger, so he sent Li Tianyi over.
Seeing that it was not Ye Changge who came from Reclining Firewood Peak, many elders began to mutter in their hearts.
“This kid really doesn’t put the sect in his eyes. In the past, their sense of presence was weak, and that kid Ye Changge pushed them as much as he could.”
“Now that he finally has a few more disciples, he doesn’t set an example for others. If he has something to do, he should send a disciple over.”
“Everyone here is an elder, and his disciple is lacking two backups. A branch composed of a kid lacking two backups. Isn’t this a joke?”
As they secretly criticized Ye Changge, these elders warmly greeted Li Shiyi.
“Jianyi, your master Ye Changge’s cultivation talent is mediocre, your sword Dao talent is superb, and Chief Buyi is not here. You best not be delayed at Reclining Firewood Peak.”
A sage-like elder looked at Li Shiyi with a smile, his eyes full of anticipation.
“Jianyi, our Qingshu Peak recently obtained a few good sword techniques, and we still have a lot of sword Dao resources here. It would be most appropriate for you to come.”
Seeing that someone had already spoken, many elders responded one after another, wanting Li Shiyi to join their sect.
Such a Sword Dao Genius had already been in the Hidden Edge Sect for so long, and there wasn’t much of a change in the investigation.
This meant that his strength hadn’t increased much.
In the understanding of the elders, although the Hidden Edge Sect’s Qi restraining technique was very mysterious and extraordinary, Li Yi’s cultivation was too different from theirs, so he definitely wouldn’t make a mistake in the investigation.
“You actually think that master’s talent in cultivation is mediocre?”
Li Shiyi could only smile wryly when he heard this, not knowing whether it was because these elders were too weak or because his master was too good at hiding his talent.
He did not reply but shook his head apologetically.
Seeing this guy’s taciturn expression, the elders couldn’t do anything about him, so they could only continue to think of ways to lure this good seedling back.
“The elder of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate of West Ocean, Yue Changge, has led the disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate to visit us!”
Hearing the report from the disciples, Sect Master Ding’s expression turned solemn. “Please come in.”
Not long after, an old man with white hair wearing a brocade crane cloak and a tiger belt around his waist walked into the hall.
The two middle-aged men looked like twins. They were wearing plain, round-necked shirts, followed by dozens of disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate.
They knew that the ten thousand swords sect would send people, but they did not expect to bring so many people.
For a moment, they did not know why they had come.
After watching the seats, Sect Master Ding was the first to ask, “May I know your names? What is your purpose in coming to our Hidden Edge Sect?”
“I am Chang Jian of the Ten Thousand Swords sect. These two are the heart sword and the stone sword. The rest are the talents of our Myriad Swords Sect.”
“As for when I came here, I came here for the Hidden Edge Sect’s colorful Qi sword.”
Hearing the other party announce his sect, the elders of the Hidden Edge Sect were somewhat shocked.
Other than the ordinary form seniority, the Myriad Swords Sect also had another way to advance in seniority.
Chang Jian, the heart sword, and the stone sword. This was a method unique to the Myriad Swords Sect to calculate seniority.
To have ‘sword’ as the last word in one’s name meant that the swordsmanship of the people in front of him was extraordinary.
“Colorful Qi sword? May I know what exactly you are talking about? is it referring to swordsmanship or some kind of treasure sword?”
“I knew that you wouldn’t admit it directly. You would definitely pretend not to know.”
Silently cursing in his heart, Chang Jian raised his hand and conjured a colorful treasure sword in the air.
The treasure sword did not have a physical body. It floated in the air in an illusory manner. Colorful light swirled on it and the shape of the sword was ever-changing. Sometimes it was a double-edged sword, and sometimes it was a single-edged sword.
Frowning, Qing Cang spoke for the first time, “Our Hidden Edge Sect does not have such a treasure sword. The shape of this object is uncertain. It seems rather extraordinary. Even our Hidden Edge Sect’s spiritual sword is nothing like this.”
Chang Jian was not angry when he heard Qing Cang’s denial.
He smiled and said, “Please, don’t be in such a hurry to refuse. Although this sword is magical, it can’t be used to its maximum effect in your hands.”
After saying that, he took out a jade slip. The jade slip gave off a sharp aura. One look determined that it was not an ordinary item.
“The effect of our Myriad Swords Sect’s cloud cleaving sword technique is to stand on the ground and be able to fight against the floating clouds in the sky. It will definitely be of great benefit to the Hidden Edge Sect if they learn it.”
“Using this sword technique in exchange for that colorful Qi sword, your Hidden Edge Sect will be able to gain much strength. I wonder if you can part with it?”
“Why doesn’t this person listen to what others say?” Sect leader Ding felt helpless in his heart. He had already explained it, but the other party seemed to think they were persistently deflecting.
“I know what you mean, Elder Chang Jian. You should have heard about the sword technique that our Hidden Edge Sect used to kill the enemy when a powerful enemy attacked, right?”
“Although it’s a colorful Qi sword, it’s definitely different from the one you showed us. It’s not the same one.”
Frowning, Chang Jian continued, “Sect leader Ding, there’s no need to be in a hurry to refuse. Our Myriad Swords Sect came with sincerity this time. If you’re dissatisfied, we can continue our talks. There’s no need to directly refuse.”
As he finished speaking, Xin Jian, who was sitting beside him, also stood up and took out another bamboo slip.
“This is a sword technique that our Myriad Swords Gate has found from ancient times. We don’t know its original name, but the power of the sword qi is immense. According to the records of the sword technique, the strongest realm can strike the Moon.”
The bamboo slip gave off a powerful aura. One look and one could tell that it was not an ordinary item. As Xin Jian let go, the bamboo slip actually floated in the air by itself.
Sect leader Ding felt even more helpless. These people from the Sacred Place were all stone-headed. They were so stubborn that they thought that he was lying to them.
“Everyone, there’s no need to speak any further. No matter how strong your sword techniques are, no matter how many treasures you have, there’s nothing we can do,” Sect Master Ding said.
Chief Qingcang also chimed in, “It’s not that we look down on your sword techniques, but we really don’t have such a colorful Qi sword. How can we exchange it with your Myriad Swords Sect?”
Chang Jian’s face darkened. “Since everyone keeps saying that you don’t have such a Qi sword, why don’t you take out the light sword that you used to defeat the enemy? It’s obvious at a glance whether it’s true or not!”
The treasured sword had been wielded by the spirit of the book, and no one knew exactly who it came from.
Compared to the other party’s belief that it was a real body, Sect Master Ding believed that the sword that day was just a streak of Sword Qi condensed by a sword Grandmaster in the sect.
Up until now, he couldn’t even summon the spirit of the book, let alone that Sword Grandmaster. It had been so long since he had seen him.
“It’s not that we keep rejecting it, but it’s really not something that we can decide.”
“And I can tell you with certainty that the sword you’re talking about is not the same as the colorful light sword that appeared in our Hidden Edge Sect.”
“That sword might just be a streak of Sword Qi from our sect’s senior. It’s gone after being used. How can it be used to prove it?”
Hearing this, Chang Jian felt a burst of anger in his heart.
As a direct disciple of the Myriad Swords Sect, his sword Dao strength was not ordinary. The sect’s sword Dao experts were even more numerous.
He had never heard of anyone being able to do that with a single sword qi.
Moreover, a single sword Qi could be used as a physical weapon by others. What kind of profound skill was it, to be able to do that?
Are you insulting my intelligence?
Chang Jian laughed in spite of his extreme anger.
