Volume 11: The First Law Chapter 57 Then I will say, I will definitely beat him
There was complete silence.
The huge sword-washing pool is even quieter than a tomb.
With two hundred thousand swords to fight against, who dares to speak?
At this moment, the monks of Xijianchi, who had never understood why Xie Qingyun had passed away and the young Shaozong had succeeded him as the lord of the sect, began to understand why the Sword Sect existed and why such a wise man like Xie Qingyun would make this seemingly "absurd" decision.
At this moment, they realized what it meant to be the number one swordsman in Tianyuan today and what it meant to be a lean camel that is bigger than a horse.
At this moment, they had to admit in their hearts that the young sect leader who seemed too young was indeed qualified to lead the Sword Sect.
After seeing Lu Qingshan's sword, with 200,000 swords hanging in the air, it was as if there was a god above their heads, or as if a guillotine was hanging over their heads. No one in the Sword Washing Pool dared to take action.
Lu Qingshan did not push his luck any further.
In this line of work, he only wants the sword, not his life.
Although for the Sword Washing Pond Sect Master, Bai Shuang Sword Master, who was currently plotting to become the Sword Sect's Dao Sect in Zhongtian Domain, he would rather Lu Qingshan take the lives of the Sword Washing Pond monks.
Two hundred thousand swords are the lifeblood of the Sword Washing Pool. They are the precious wealth accumulated by generations of cultivators in the Sword Washing Pool, and they are also the foundation for the strength of their Sword Washing Pool.
This is true cruelty.
Lu Qingshan didn't kill anyone, but what he did made Bai Shuang Jianzhu feel worse than death.
…
Lu Qingshan bent his fingers slightly.
The group of swords that had just broken through the water and were hanging behind the monk in the sword-washing pool immediately flew over from the air and merged with the group in front of Lu Qingshan.
At this point, all 200,000 swords of Tianchi appeared here, without a single one left.
The forest of swords piled up into a mountain of swords.
Mighty, magnificent, domineering, and cold.
All the swords were humming with joy, as if they were longing for Lu Qingshan's choice, or as if they were thanking Lu Qingshan.
There are countless famous swords in the world, but this name is more for sword cultivators.
People will only remember the leader in Li Qiubai's hands and the leader in Xia Daoyun's hands, but how many people will remember the leader?
The same is true for these famous swords.
Hidden under the Tianchi Lake for thousands of years and covered in dust until now, how many people still remember how sharp they were back then?
Now that they have reappeared in the world at Lu Qingshan’s call, they are happy no matter what.
"Then follow me." Feeling the desire of these famous swords, Lu Qingshan, who had a sincere love for swords, responded softly.
"Sword Domain!" he whispered.
The purple-gold light of the Dharma Realm suddenly expanded with his body as the center, filling the sky and encompassing the 200,000 swords.
In the sword domain, there was an overwhelming sense of oppression. Even the Lanting Sword Master, whose cultivation level far exceeded Lu Qingshan's, was not immune to this oppression, and his breathing suddenly became heavy.
This is the first time that the monks from Xijianchi have seen such a grand and luxurious Dharma domain.
But what happened next shocked them so much that they would never forget it until their death.
At this moment, Lu Qingshan folded his hands as if he was pressing on the hilt of a long sword.
Then, he suddenly pressed down his folded hands and shouted softly:
"Return to the sheath!"
The famous sword is sheathed? Where is the sheath?
The monks in the Sword Washing Pool, who were already shocked and dared not act rashly, heard Lu Qingshan's voice and thought subconsciously.
The sky is clear.
The long sword covered the sky and the sun, and suddenly fell downward, bringing up countless sword qi, instantly cutting countless gullies in the clear sky.
The mountain of swords fell down like a swarm of locusts. The sword energy was so strong that it even formed a magnificent tornado.
whoosh!
Chaotianque took the lead and fell down with a bang.
The purple-gold light of the Dharma Realm was so brilliant that it enveloped it.
It only takes a moment.
Chaotianque disappeared from everyone's sight.
The same goes for the other swords.
After a moment.
The long swords in the sky disappeared and returned to their sheaths one after another.
——【Zhan】Secret: Passive skill, the sword domain becomes a world in itself, the domain master can hide all swords in this domain and take them out at any time.
The monks in the Sword Washing Pool looked up and saw the sea of clouds reflected in golden color by the light of the sword domain, and the sunlight was pouring down like feathers.
Lu Qingshan stood calmly in the center of the legal domain.
Creating waves in silence.
Two hundred thousand swords entered the sword domain, and two hundred thousand swords returned to their sheaths.
Two hundred thousand swords disappeared into thin air right under their noses.
It's amazing.
Absolutely perfect.
At this moment, Lu Qingshan already had the aura of being the master of the world's famous swords.
…
Lu Qingshan put away his sword, and in full view of everyone, he flicked his sleeves as if he was brushing off the dust on his clothes, then turned around and prepared to leave.
"Lu Qingshan, do you really dare?" Lanting Sword Master looked up at Lu Qingshan, and seeing that he was about to leave, he finally couldn't help but speak, and asked word by word.
"Why not?" Lu Qingshan stopped walking away, turned around, and looked around, moving from the faces that were still in a daze, and finally stopped at Lanting Sword Master, "I have always been very bold."
"Sooner or later, our sect leader will come to ask for these 200,000 swords." Lanting Sword Master said in a threatening or warning tone.
"Go and ask for it?" Lu Qingshan shook his head. "Don't bother, Master Baishuang, I will go and find it myself."
As soon as the words fell, a flash of sword light crossed the sky and disappeared.
On this day, the young leader of the Sword Sect entered Lingzhou with a sword, leading all the swords hidden in the Sword Washing Pool to come out. In the blink of an eye, 200,000 swords returned to their sheaths, and he rode away on the swords.
When the person arrives, the sword arrives; when the person leaves, the sword leaves.
…
…
Zhongtian Domain.
After Xijianchi sent out the invitation letter for promotion to Dao Sect, Daxia followed the procedures and sent out a meeting letter to the six major Dao Sects to review Xijianchi's request for promotion.
Soon, various sects sent representatives to Zhongtian Territory.
Therefore, Yanlan Pass has become extremely lively nowadays and has become the focus of attention of cultivators from the six regions.
Everyone wants to know how this "farce" that is not a farce will end.
Will the young Sword Sect leader be able to uphold the name of the Sword Sect? And will the Sword Washing Pool, who is trying to "add insult to injury", be able to get what he wants?
At Yanlan Pass, guests arrived.
The only exception is that no one from the Sword Sect, one of the two "protagonists", has arrived yet.
As time passed, some bad rumors, whether accidental or deliberate, gradually spread in Yanlan Pass and quickly fermented.
In fact, this is exactly the insidious and cruel nature of the White Frost Sword Master.
Whether Jian Zong comes to this court meeting or not, it is not a good choice.
Come, how do you come?
If he came alone, with the cultivation level of the young sect leader, how could he stop the gossips?
If they brought other peak masters with them, wouldn't it further prove that the Sword Sect no longer had the strength of the Dao Sect - if the leader of the Dao Sect was unable to have an equal dialogue with the leader of the Sword Washing Pool, then how could this Dao Sect still be the Dao Sect?
If Lu Qingshan did not come, firstly, it would be against the rules and disrespectful to Xia Daozu, and secondly, in the eyes of everyone, it would be a sign of cowardice.
You can't please both sides.
The reason why they fell into this dilemma was that Lu Qingshan was "not up to the task".
…
Yanlan Pass, the hall for imperial meetings.
As no one from the Sword Sect had arrived yet, and seeing that the representatives from the major Dao Sects were losing their patience, Sword Master Baishuang directly invited everyone to come.
"Since the Sword Sect doesn't even have the courage to attend the court meeting, I personally think that our sect's request for promotion has been finalized."
"If a sect doesn't even have the courage and confidence to face challengers, do you still believe that they can defend an area?" he asked.
As soon as this question was asked, there was an immediate commotion in the hall, and the representatives of the five major Taoist sects all had strange expressions.
The Lord of the White Frost Sword glanced at the monks from the Dragon Elephant Temple in the Western Regions.
As if they understood what he meant, the monks from the Dragon Elephant Temple immediately stepped out and said calmly, "Xia Zun, I agree with the White Frost Sword Master. The achievements of the Sword Sect cannot be erased, but the position of the Dao Sect should be held by the capable. This is related to the safety of the human race in an area, so we must not act on emotion."
The White Frost Sword Master raised his lips but said nothing.
How could he come empty-handed for such a big event as being promoted to Dao Sect? He had already made many preparations in private.
Seeing that Longxiang Temple stood up to support Lord Baishuang Sword, the expressions of the others changed even more.
At this time, the monk representative sent by Tianji Temple snorted coldly, not only stepped out of the line, but also intentionally or unintentionally gave the monks of Longxiang Temple a look of contempt, and then said: "The Sword Sect defended the Central Spirit Realm, which is an indispensable contribution to our human race, and no one can match it. Although its strength has been greatly reduced due to the Western Expedition to Central Spirit, it still has Xia Daoyun, Yu Canghai, and Xue Wushao. Sect Master Lu Qingshan is indeed weak in cultivation now, but his talent is unmatched and his future is limitless. No matter how you look at it, the position of Dao Sect is still more suitable for the Sword Sect. How can we let some people who take advantage of others take the position?"
As a result, different voices emerged and the noise became even louder.
The White Frost Sword Master had an unpleasant look on his face, and it was obvious that the Tianji Temple cultivator's words of taking advantage of someone's misfortune had made him somewhat angry.
But Tianji Temple is a Taoist sect after all, and now that it has offended the Sword Sect, he naturally dare not offend other Taoist sects again.
Therefore, he could only pretend that he did not hear the words of the Tianji Temple monk and turned his gaze to Xia Zhao who was sitting on the main throne.
"Xia Zun, what do you think?"
Xia Zhao responded coldly, looking at the White Frost Sword Master expressionlessly.
"Master Baishuang, who told you that the Sword Sect doesn't even have the courage to attend the court meeting?"
"Huh?" The Lord of the White Frost Sword showed a look of surprise, then something moved in his mind and turned his head away.
A woman in green slowly walked into the hall.
"Are you going to replace the Sword Sect?" The woman in green looked at the White Frost Sword Master, raised her eyebrows, and spoke in an extremely cold voice.
"Xia Daoyun!" The White Frost Sword Master frowned, recognizing the identity of the woman in green.
Xia Daoyun only had the cultivation level of the Sixth Tribulation Realm, weaker than him. However, based on her record of using the sword of the Sword Immortal to seriously injure Chi Zun at the top of Yumen Pass, he dared not underestimate Xia Daoyun.
"The Sword Washing Pool has been passed down for ten thousand years, and it has inherited this ambition?" Xia Daoyun asked.
The White Frost Sword Master's face froze.
He could tolerate the ridicule from the monks of Tianji Temple, but since Jian Zong had already been thoroughly offended, there was no need to swallow his anger any longer.
"Master Xia, your rude words are the ambition of your Sword Sect?"
"Why are you talking nonsense?" Xia Daoyun was too disdainful to argue with the White Frost Sword Master. Sword practitioners have always been willing to act rather than talk.
"You want to replace the Sword Sect, right?" She sneered, "A frog in a well doesn't know how big the world is, so he speaks so arrogantly."
"I will kindly let you understand the gap between you and Dao Zong..."
"Come, today I will teach you how to use a sword."
The leader of Xijianchi, the second most powerful sword sect in the world, was pointed at by a woman and told "I will teach you how to use a sword".
Who would dare to believe this scene if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes?
No matter how well-trained the White Frost Sword Master is, he can no longer remain calm at this moment.
"Xia Daoyun, don't be so arrogant!"
"A gentleman acts instead of talking." Xia Daoyun silently grasped the Niu Er Sword in his hand and pointed it at the Master of the Bai Shuang Sword.
The Lord of the White Frost Sword looked at the bull's ear with fear.
With just this sword, he didn't dare to say that he would definitely defeat Xia Daoyun.
This time, he calmed down a lot.
"Where is Sect Master Lu?" The White Frost Sword Master's face gradually regained its composure. "This matter concerns the ranking of the Sword Sect and the Sword Washing Pool . I am attending the court meeting as the Sect Master of the Sword Washing Pool. According to the rules, the Sect Master of the Sword Sect should also come forward."
"Could it be that your Sect Master Lu doesn't even dare to show up, and can only let Peak Master Xia come out to calm the situation?"
It's like someone challenging another martial arts gym leader. The owner doesn't dare to step out to accept the challenge, so he can only ask the elders of the previous generation to take action.
Then no matter whether the result is winning or losing, the momentum has naturally been weakened.
This is the Sword Sect’s current weakness.
No matter how powerful or domineering Xia Daoyun is, he cannot bypass this flaw.
The White Frost Sword Master continued, "How can the leader of the Dao Sect be such an incompetent and cowardly person?"
"If Sect Master Lu doesn't dare to show up, then my fight with Peak Master Xia will be meaningless. It should be a fight between the Sword Sect and the Sword Washing Pool."
His meaning is very simple.
It's either a battle between the Sword Sect's leader and the Sword Washing Pool's leader, or a battle between the Sword Sect and the Sword Washing Pool.
He doesn't accept anything else.
This statement is in line with the rules and is also the greatest confidence of the White Frost Sword Master.
After all, no one wanted to see the battle between the Sword Sect and the Sword Washing Pool, not even him.
And in the fight with Lu Qingshan, he will definitely win.
Xia Daoyun naturally couldn't be unprepared. Just as she was about to speak, a calm and familiar voice came out before her.
"Master, then it will be as Sect Master Bai wishes."
She turned her head and looked.
At some point, a man appeared at the entrance of the hall , wearing a black robe of the clan leader with a dark golden dragon pattern embroidered on the robe.
Mighty and ferocious.
"Qingshan..." There was a hint of surprise in Xia Daoyun's eyes. Obviously, she did not expect Lu Qingshan to appear at this moment.
Yes, the man who appeared at the door of the hall was Xia Daoyuan’s apprentice, the new leader of the Sword Sect, Lu Qingshan.
"I went to get some things, which delayed me for a while. I didn't expect that it would make Sect Leader Bai more confident for nothing." Lu Qingshan strode forward until he was shoulder to shoulder with Xia Daoyun, then he spoke.
With his nonchalant attitude, no one could have imagined that the "something I took" he mentioned would be the 200,000 swords from the Sword Washing Pool.
"Since Sect Master Bai is not convinced by our Sword Sect, there is no point in saying more," Lu Qingshan said with a smile as he looked at the changing expression of Sword Master Bai Shuang. "Just as my master said, it's very simple, just act and don't talk."
When these words were spoken, everyone's eyes flickered, unable to understand where Lu Qingshan got the confidence from?
"Are you sure?" Even Xia Daoyun frowned slightly at this moment.
She knew that Lu Qingshan was an extraordinary fighter, but the White Frost Sword Master was, after all, a swordsman at the Seventh Tribulation Realm. In terms of cultivation alone, he was much higher than her.
Lu Qingshan smiled noncommittally and did not directly answer Xia Daoyun's question. Instead, he asked, "Master, do you want me to win?"
This familiar conversation made Xia Daoyun, who had made Chi Zun tremble with a sword, stunned for a moment like a little girl. Then she looked at Lu Qingshan steadily, blinked, and smiled: "...Of course."
"Then I'll tell you." Lu Qingshan looked into Xia Daoyun's phoenix eyes, and just like the answer he gave on Jianlai Peak that year, he said softly:
"I will definitely beat him."
