"What is it that makes Brother Lao so upset?" Xiao He asked curiously.
Dugu Huntian smiled mysteriously and said, "Tonight the moon is at the top of the sky. My brother will go with me and Yixue. Everything will come to light!"
Xiao He pondered for a moment, then asked: "Brother, you came to the east of the continent to read the second half of the sword manual, but now you come back empty-handed, what should you do?"
Dugu Huntian looked a little disappointed and replied: "This matter is also the thing that worries me the most, but now we have reached the deadline agreed upon by the high priest and me!"
"Deadline?" Xiao He asked again.
Dugu Huntian nodded and said: "Yes, the only way for me to return to the south is if the high priest activates the teleportation array. Once the appointed time is up, I must return regardless of whether I find the sword manual! I have been away for so long.
, I don’t know what kind of chaotic situation the family is in!”
"Brother, don't worry. As long as we can go back, all problems will be solved. But this sword manual..." Xiao He stopped talking, still worried about the sword manual.
Dugu Huntian said: "The last time I saw the word "Ni Xian" in the empty box, I guessed that the sword manual must have arrived at the Cantian Sword Sect. I have been secretly investigating the matter since I came back. At this time, I have some clues, and everything is under control.
We’ll find out tonight!”
"Seriously?" Xiao He said in surprise.
"Seriously!" Dugu Huntian also replied with a smile.
In fact, Xiao He couldn't guess that the second half of the Dugu Sword Manual was in the Cantian Sword Sect. However, it was not easy to take back the sword manual from the Cantian Sword Sect, even if he and Dugu Huntian could defeat all the masters.
The elders of the Cantian Sword Sect who are extremely skilled may not have the strength to fight against the leader of the Cantian Sword Sect.
To be able to become the leader of the Cantian Sword Sect, one must already have at least the ability of the Fourteenth Realm, which is a level that even Xiao He, who is now the great elder of Zhenwu Shen Sect, cannot reach.
If robbery is not possible, then the only option is to steal. However, where the sword manual is hidden, what kind of troops are guarding it, how to escape after the robbery, and whether there is enough time to help the Dugu brothers and sisters enter the teleportation array, all these are unknown.
Xiao He sat alone in an empty room for a long time without falling asleep. He felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy and kept sitting in the room waiting for Dugu Huntian's call.
Finally, figures outside the door shook, and Dugu Huntian and Dugu Yixue came together. Tonight was the day they left Cantian Sword Sect. Before Dugu Huntian could say anything, Xiao He had already stood up and gently pushed the door open with both hands.
The Dugu brother and sister stood in front of him, looking into his eyes. The three of them didn't say a word, but the moment their eyes met, they seemed to have said a thousand words. They all knew in their hearts that if they say goodbye today, they don't know when they will be reunited.
See you again.
"Brother, come with me!" Dugu Huntian whispered, and then walked in the front. Xiao He and Dugu Yixue walked side by side, following closely behind.
"Brother Dugu, are we going to look for sword manuals now? Do you have a plan?" Xiao He was still nervous and couldn't help but ask.
Dugu Huntian shook his head again and said with great certainty: "The teleportation array will be opened tonight. If you want to take back the sword manual, you may not have time. However, the teleportation array is not far from here, and you have to pass the Blood Pond Sword of the Cantian Sword Sect.
Lu, tonight I’m going to say goodbye to my brother again, and more importantly, I’m going to help you snatch the Cantian Sword Sect’s magical weapon!”
"Magical weapon?" Xiao He repeated in a low voice.
"Exactly!" Dugu Huntian walked forward with a firm gaze, "I know that you will never end your life in the eastern part of the mainland. All the mysteries you want to solve are in the northern and western parts of the continent, but you want to
Break through the barrier, but your current strength is still not enough. Jianlu of the Cantian Sword Sect hides a rare magic weapon in the world. That will be the key to improving your cultivation and opening the mainland barrier!"
After Dugu Huntian finished speaking, Xiao He was so excited that he couldn't speak. He didn't know what to say. He was only moved for a while, and it took a long time before he said the word "thank you".
"You and I, there is no need to say thank you. Let's go quickly. Not far ahead is the blood pool. That is where the elders of the Cantian Sword Sect broke through. It is the same as the thunder disaster you experienced in the Zhenwu Shen Sect.
, I don’t know how many wronged souls of the mainland’s top masters have been left behind! There is not much time left, we try our best to get in and out quickly, we can’t fight here
People are entangled!"
"Brother understands!" Xiao He said in a deep voice.
Not long after the three of them started walking like this, Xiao He felt that there was an evil atmosphere not far away, and there was a dark red light. As he walked closer, he felt that there was a majestic evil energy flowing straight through the sky and the earth. The evil energy was overwhelming and made people feel sad.
Frightened, Dugu Yixue instinctively stopped and gently pulled the corner of Xiao He's clothes with one hand.
This pull seemed to touch Xiao He's heart. Xiao He turned his head slightly and looked at Dugu Yixue. Their eyes met, and Xiao He gently comforted him: "It's okay."
After hearing Xiao He's consolation, Dugu Yixue seemed to feel much more at peace in her heart. She remained silent, just nodded slightly and continued walking side by side with Xiao He.
"We're here!" Dugu Huntian, who was walking in front, said in a deep voice.
"It's really extraordinary!" Xiao He sighed as he looked at the vast sea of blood not far away.
"How many innocent souls must have died to accumulate such a huge sea of blood!" Dugu Huntian also said.
"There are no elders in charge of this important place?" Xiao He asked in a low voice.
Dugu Huntian shook his head and said: "I am also confused. There should be an elder named Ghost King guarding this place. I don't know where he has gone at this time. We have no time to take care of this matter. Let's leave quickly!"
Xiao He nodded, and together with Dugu Yixue, he followed Dugu Huntian and accelerated his pace. When he was about to leave the edge filled with blood, Xiao He looked back at the surface of the quiet and stagnant sea of blood with a solemn expression.
Dugu Yixue, who was standing next to Xiao He, noticed the subtle change in Xiao He's expression and asked, "Xiao He, what's wrong?"
Hearing his sister's voice, Dugu Huntian also stopped and walked to Xiao He's side, waiting for Xiao He to speak.
Xiao He kept staring at the center of the blood sea and said, "I think the evil aura in front of me is not all due to this blood pool. It seems that there is something huge hidden deep in the blood pool."
"Seriously?" Dugu Huntian asked excitedly.
"Exactly!" Xiao He said with certainty. After becoming a strong man in the ten realms, Xiao He naturally became more confident in his own insight.
"There have been rumors for a long time that the Cantian Sword Sect has a close relationship with the Western Demon Clan. Some people even say that the Cantian Sword Sect has already become the minions of the Western Demon Clan in the eastern part of the mainland!"
Xiao He nodded and said thoughtfully: "I also heard some rumors in the Zhenwu Shen Sect. In fact, the real cause of the struggle between the two major forces in the east was because the Zhenwu Shen Sect discovered that the Cantian Sword Sect was hiding a sleeping monster. In order to stabilize the mainland
Order, this monster must be completely destroyed!"
Dugu Huntian also said: "It seems that this is indeed the real reason for the struggle between the two top factions, and the other external causes are just to deceive others. However, this is not something that you and I should care about at the moment. Let's go!"
Xiao He was a little hesitant, but he and Dugu Huntian hurriedly left this place filled with blood. Not long after they left, someone came here.
The three of them continued forward, climbed over a mountain, and saw a majestic building on the top of the mountain. It was made of huge rocks, and the whole body was gray and filled with a chilling atmosphere.
"What a powerful sword energy!" Xiao He couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the building in front of him.
Hearing this, Dugu Huntian smiled and said, "Brother, you are indeed the most sword-loving person in the world. You have already felt the sword energy before you have entered this door?"
"What place is this?" Xiao He asked.
Dugu Huntian smiled again and replied: "This is the Jianlu of the Cantian Sword Sect. The Cantian Sword Sect is famous for its swords. Every elder's magic weapon is obtained here. If you, brother, can have this opportunity, , you will definitely get a sword commensurate with your current cultivation level!"
Hearing that this was Jianlu, Xiao He was even more excited. The three of them did not say anything at the door, pushed open Jianlu's tall stone door, and entered easily.
The three of them walked through a long corridor, and soon their field of view was extremely wide. Within the scope of their eyes, various swords could be seen everywhere, deeply inserted into the rocks under their feet.
, Xiao He’s spiritual consciousness spread all over the earth, and he couldn’t even distinguish the number of swords for a while.
"Instead of saying this is Jianlu, it is better to say it is Sword Tomb, which is more similar!" Xiao He sighed and continued: "It's such an important place, how can outsiders enter so easily?"
Dugu Huntian was about to answer, but before he could speak, another old voice sounded: "Three friends, welcome!"
Xiao He was shocked. It turned out that there was another person in this huge stone room, but he didn't even notice it.
As soon as he finished speaking, a ray of light illuminated the stone room, and the three of them saw clearly that the light source was in the center of thousands of swords, and there was a vicissitudes of life old man sitting cross-legged on the stone platform.
Xiao He and Dugu Huntian subconsciously took a step forward, blocking Dugu Yixue behind them, staring at the old man alertly, waiting for an opportunity to make a move.
Unexpectedly, the old man laughed when he saw this: "Hahaha! Three friends, don't be nervous. Since you are already here, I will allow you to pick up a magic weapon here and I will never stop you. Children, you can start!"
Seeing the old man with wide robes and long sleeves on the stone platform staring directly at him with a pair of condensed eyes, Xiao He also let go of his scruples and wandered among thousands of swords. His eyes swept across these swords of different shapes, but He still couldn't find the one that matched his heart. He began to feel a little disappointed.
Dugu Huntian, who was standing outside Jianlu, saw that Xiao He was still unable to make up his mind, and said: "Brother, the people who have been here are all masters close to the ten realms. None of them have ever returned empty-handed. As long as you are willing to work hard." Go and choose, and you will definitely find a sword tailor-made for you!"
"Yes! It's with your heart! You don't choose swords with your eyes, you should choose with your heart!" Xiao He suddenly thought, and his troubled heart was finally awakened by Dugu Huntian's words.
He closed his eyes tightly and concentrated his energy. Thousands of swords around him disappeared from Xiao He's field of vision for a moment, and his eyes turned into nothingness and chaos.
Xiao He was not in a hurry and kept feeling the breath of every sword around him with his heart. It was as if these thousands of swords had established some kind of wonderful connection with him and were communicating and echoing with him.
Finally, between the vastness and nothingness, a glimmer of light appeared.
Xiao He did not open his eyes and walked towards the light step by step until the light was within reach. Xiao He suddenly opened his eyes and suddenly found that in front of him was the vicissitudes of the old man in the center of Jianlu.
A smile appeared on the corner of Xiao He's mouth.
The old man also smiled and said happily: "It seems that you have found your sword!"
The Dugu brother and sister standing not far away looked at Xiao He and the old man in surprise.
The old man said: "After I cultivated the Great Dao, I was still unable to break through the continental barrier, so I kept on enlightening here and finally built a magic sword that can break through the barrier. Now that you have solved this obsession, I will be free!
"
The next second, Xiao He raised his hand and patted the old man's heavenly spirit. Suddenly, a dazzling light appeared. The old man's limbs, flesh and blood, bones, and essence were all condensing and condensing towards the spine at a speed visible to the naked eye. Xiao He's clear
I felt a huge burst of energy surge from my palms to my whole body.
When the light dissipated, the old man was no longer visible, but in Xiao He's hand was a cold divine sword.
Seeing this, the Dugu brothers and sisters quickly came to Xiao He's side.
Xiao He raised the sword in his hand high, and there were two words engraved on the joint between the sword body and the hilt: Ni Xian!
"Ni Immortal! It turned out to be Ni Immortal!" Dugu Huntian said excitedly, "This old man is the last sect leader of the Cantian Sword Sect! Rumor has it that he failed to break through the barrier. After that, no one knew his whereabouts, life or death, and no one thought about him.
He actually died here and returned to the West in this way!"
Xiao He looked at the Nixian Sword in his hand with great satisfaction and put it away after a few seconds.
At this moment, Dugu Yixue said: "Brother, look at the center of the stone platform, there seems to be a glimmer of light!"
