Chapter 115: Turbulence, Forbidden Land
Chapter 115: Turbulence, Forbidden Land
The life of Lord Sword Master is quite legendary. His talent for cultivation is rare in a century. When he was young, he accidentally inherited the sword art from a third-rank casual cultivator. Since then, he has soared to fame and soon surpassed his master.
With his talent and realm at that time, it would be easy for him to join the Holy Gate. With the help of the Holy Gate's foundation, he would have the opportunity to peek into the unknowable realm above the first level in the future.
However, he did not do so. He chose to go alone, but even so, his realm improved rapidly.
When he single-handedly wiped out all the evil forces in Tianfeng, the whole world was shocked, and the nine holy sects were also quite interested in such a sword genius. Even a saint from a holy sect was impressed by his unparalleled spirit and offered him an olive branch, saying that as long as he was willing to join her holy sect, he could become her partner and live a carefree life in the world.
But he finally refused, and there were various theories. Some said that he was a descendant of the royal family of the dynasty that collapsed, so he cared about the lives of ordinary people. Some said that he had fallen out with the disciples of the Saint Sect, so he was unwilling to join the Saint Sect. Some said that Lord Jianzun was dissatisfied with all the Saint Sects. As the masters of the world, they allowed bandits, evil cultivators, and demon cultivators to run rampant and do evil, and they were indifferent and just stood by and watched!
In short, Lord Jian Zun is a living legend in Tianfeng. After he cleared all the evil forces in Tianfeng, he lived in seclusion in a place called Sun Moon Villa, like a god, continuing to protect Tianfeng, intimidating the outside villains and forcing them not to enter Tianfeng to commit evil.
He was indifferent to fame and fortune, did not establish a sect, refused tribute from all the county overlords in Tianfeng, had very little contact with the outside world, and later it was heard that he accepted three apprentices one after another.
To date, he has been silently guarding the Tianfeng Kingdom for more than eighty years.
The few villains who were killed by him and managed to escape from Tianfeng Kingdom (there was only one Sword Master, it was impossible to kill them all), their descendants and successors were not reconciled and tried to make a comeback. They have been lying in wait silently, waiting for this legend to grow old and unable to lift the ancient sword anymore. Then, it will be the time for them to return to Tianfeng Kingdom and rebuild its former glory.
What they wanted to do most was to let this once invincible swordsmanship genius watch with his own eyes the pure land he protected being destroyed, wailing, and burning under their iron hooves, and watch everything he built with his own hands crumble and turn to ashes. Only in this way could they resolve the hatred they had held in their hearts for so many years.
In their eyes, ordinary people are worthless. They have no one to protect them, and they are used by powerful warriors. It is the same in all countries. Why did they have to encounter such a madman? Not only did their hard-earned foundations disappear in an instant, but they were also killed like dogs that have lost their homes. In the end, they could only flee from Tianfeng Country and survive.
Not only those who had grievances with the Sword Master in the past, but also the evil forces in the neighboring countries were quite interested in the fat meat of Tianfeng Country, which had been resting for so many years. In their eyes, the people of Tianfeng Country, who had always lived in a relatively peaceful environment, were just sheep without much blood.
Once the Tianfeng Kingdom loses the protection of Lord Sword, the backlash it will suffer will be quite terrible.
Except for the major county towns which were relatively safe and capable of self-defense, small border towns like Tianhe Town were likely to be captured. By then, the cultivation families would probably have no choice but to abandon their homes and businesses and lead their clansmen to seek refuge in the county towns.
But at that time, I am afraid that they will be dependent on others and have no choice. Ordinary people are even more miserable. They have no value and the county town will not take them in.
Because of this concern, every bit of strength the family gains is very important. For a family worshiper like Xu Feng, the Yang family had to take the initiative to increase the salary to attract him! Otherwise, if he was poached by other families, it would be a real shame.
Of course, these are the worst-case scenarios. Lord Jian Zun may not have suffered a relapse of his old injury as rumored. Even if it is true, he still has three apprentices. If these three can inherit 60% to 70% of his skills, the three of them can work together to protect Tianfeng Country.
Anyway, the storm is coming, and it all depends on whether Sun Moon Villa will react. If there is no action, I am afraid some people will become bolder, and Tianfeng Country will really fall into crisis and turmoil. At least border areas like Tianhe Town will not be as peaceful as before.
After listening to Yang Shang's narration, Xu Feng's heart tightened. Is even the relatively safe place of Tianfeng Country going to be uneasy? It seems that he has to speed up his actions.
Xu Feng immediately said goodbye, left the Yang family, left Tianhe Town, and went to the cave where he had been last time to refine the Buddhist beads.
……
On the other side, one of the seven forbidden areas of Burning Flame Continent, the Soul-Splitting Valley!
The place is filled with gloomy air, there is never a ray of sunshine all year round, and it is gray everywhere, which makes people feel extremely depressed.
The outskirts of Soul-Splitting Valley!
"Puff!" The sharp blade was pulled out of the chest, bringing out a pool of hot blood. A young man looked at Dao Er in disbelief, his eyes filled with disbelief, pain, and regret, and then he fell down unwillingly and died.
"Disciple of the Saint Sect, it's really a bit strenuous!" Dao Er wiped the blood off the weapon in his hand, slightly dissatisfied. His waist was full of various gourds and cloth bags of different sizes, and he looked a bit like a peddler!
"This guy should be from the Refining Star Sect." Jian Yi looked at the other person's clothing and spoke in a steady voice. After more than a year of training, the two of them have both entered the ninth level. They joined forces to fight against the enemy and actually killed a seventh-level mid-stage disciple of the Saint Sect. It was simply unbelievable.
"We could have lived in peace with each other, but he relied on his status as a disciple of the Holy Sect to speak rudely to us and ordered us to get out of here immediately. He is responsible for his own mistakes." Dao Er sneered.
"The seven forbidden areas are basically monopolized by the nine holy sects. Only occasionally a few outside warriors have the courage to break in!" Jian Yi said. He squatted down and cleared away all the useful things on the other person.
Dao Er hooked his finger at the opponent's body, and several insects the size of rice grains broke out of the flesh, spread their transparent wings, and flew towards Dao Er! The opponent was actually penetrated by the strange insects driven by Dao Er during the fight. No wonder he was able to defeat the strong with the weak.
"Xiao Hei, it's your turn!" Jian Yi called out. Xiao Hei, who looked fierce, walked out from behind a rock. He couldn't help in the battle just now and could only hide far away. At this moment, he growled, and his body swelled to a huge size. Then he bit and gnawed at the corpse on the ground. After a while, the corpse of the disciple of the Lianxing Sect disappeared, leaving only a large pool of blood and bits of meat on the ground.
Exotic beasts are a treasure to practitioners. Their meat is very nutritious. Eating them can increase strength and boost blood. Their blood can be used to make elixirs. Their fur can be made into armor. Their teeth and bones can be made into arrows and weapons. Similarly, the spiritual energy of practitioners nourishes their bodies, which is also a great tonic for the exotic beasts.
In the past, Xiao Hei had been raised by Xu Feng in human society since he was a child. He had hardly ever engaged in any dangerous hunting behavior (Xiaogou Village only hunted small and ordinary wild animals, which was not difficult). He was also often nurtured by the strange fragrance of Xu Feng's medicine, so the beast's ferocious and bloodthirsty instincts were almost completely dormant. He usually appeared very docile, so ordinary people could not detect that he was actually a beast.
Now, following Jian Yi and Dao Er to survive in the wild, encountering dangers and fierce fights from time to time, his hidden instincts have gradually recovered. In addition, Jian Yi and Dao Er do not mind any means to improve his strength as quickly as possible. Now Xiao Hei is completely different from before.
Ferocious and bloodthirsty is its true nature as a strange beast! After more than a year of fighting and devouring, it has reached the peak of the ninth rank, and only needs an opportunity to enter the eighth rank. In terms of realm alone, it is better than the sword, the knife and the two men.
However, although its ferocity had almost completely recovered, it showed no signs of backlash. Instead, it was even more afraid of the two young masters in front of it. Not only could the two of them counterattack against an enemy that was too powerful for it, but it could also sense that an extremely terrifying aura was slowly reviving from them.
"Let's go! The outskirts have been searched too many times by those disciples of the Holy Sect. It is unlikely that we will find anything valuable. The Huiyuan Fruit should be found deep in the forbidden area!" Jian Yi said.
"However, if you encounter Saint Sect disciples again in the depths of the forbidden area, you must not act rashly. Those who have the courage to enter the depths of the forbidden area are basically mid-level third-grade strongmen, the elite among Saint Sect disciples. If we really fight, it will be difficult for you and me to escape unscathed."
"I know, I'm not stupid!"
After packing up everything, the two men and the dog slowly walked towards the depths of the forbidden area.
