In the sky, dark clouds blocked all light, making the earth gloomy.
Such bad weather has enveloped the area hundreds of miles away from Shuijian Sect for half a month, but it is still continuing.
According to people who are good at observing the sky, this is the longest rainy day in the history of the Li Shui Jian Sect since the founding of the Sword Sect. Such dim weather will last for at least a month before the dark clouds can be cleared away and sunny weather can be seen.
The gloomy weather made people extremely irritable, especially the many elders and disciples of Li Shui Sword Sect. They realized that the time was getting closer and closer to the challenge date agreed by Li Yuanhang and Chen Revi, and their hearts felt like a huge stone was pressing down on them.
As heavy.
In the past month, everyone from the elders to the disciples of Li Shui Sword Sect has been practicing hard. Except for the routine three meal times every day, the dining hall is still somewhat popular, and all the disciples are usually in a hurry, and there is no longer any
People hang out.
Hai Wuya was very pleased with the changes made by many disciples of the Lishui Sword Sect, and at the same time he felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier.
Unlike many disciples who think about defeating their opponents, Hai Wuya also thinks about how to minimize losses.
Late at night, the darkness that enveloped everything unbridled swallowed up the entire world.
In an independent room in the Lishuijian Sect's Elder Hall, a bright candlelight suddenly brightened up like a navigation light in the dark night.
Hai Wuya bent over his desk and carefully read the latest information sent by the intelligence department.
When he saw that the latest message from the intelligence department clearly stated that Gucci had once again contacted more than a dozen more powerful sects among the second-rate sects in recent days to form a crusade alliance, he couldn't help but have a cold light flash in his eyes.
Do several second-rate sects unite together and want to engulf one of the four major sects? This may be possible, but even if they really do that, I'm afraid they will have to pay an extremely heavy price.
Checking the date, he found that it was less than half a month before the duel between the two sects, and Hai Wuya had a hint of worry in his eyebrows.
These days, he would take time to visit the Lishuijian Tomb every day, but so far, he still hasn't received any news.
"I don't know how far Ye Feng's cultivation level has improved? If he didn't show up that day, wouldn't his reputation drop to the lowest point in the future?" Hai Wuya frowned slightly. At this moment, he removed all his worries.
Concerned about the safety of the sect, Ye Feng is still concerned about Ye Feng's future development.
In his opinion, Ye Feng's future will be extremely bright, and he will never tolerate even the slightest flaw.
Outside the door, the sound of slight footsteps reached Hai Wuya's ears.
Hearing that this was Chen Ling's footsteps, Li Yuanhang's frown slowly relaxed and returned to his usual calm appearance.
"Elder Chen, what are you doing here late at night?" Hai Wuya said to Chen Ling who entered with a smile.
Facing the calm Hai Wuya, Chen Ling secretly admired him.
If he were in the high position of Hai Wuya, he would never be able to be so calm before the storm was about to come.
"It's nothing. It's just that I recently discovered that the boy from the Dugu family is also a good material for practicing swordsmanship. I think if possible, I would like to accept him as a closed disciple." Chen Ling said.
"Dugu family, you mean the Dugu family that came with us when we brought Ye Feng's family back from Xianhe Town?" Hai Wuya has a good memory and clearly remembered the origin of the Dugu family.
Chen Ling nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, it is Dugu Xiaotian from the Dugu family. That boy has never practiced any sophisticated internal skills and mental skills, but he actually has the strength of a swordsman. Recently, I discovered through observation that Dugu Xiaotian
Although Tian's talent is not as good as that of Ye Feng and He Huan, he is no worse than the two in terms of diligence. If the sect leader has no objections, I will decide to accept Dugu Xiaotian as my disciple soon."
It was already early in the morning, and Chen Ling's decision made Hai Wuya feel the sense of urgency in his heart on the eve of the war.
Hai Wuya did not object to Chen Ling's opinion, but nodded.
He whispered: "Elder Chen, the matter of recruiting disciples is not far away. I think you should let the boy from the Dugu family have a good sleep tonight."
Hai Wuya's cold humor made Chen Ling scratch his hair in embarrassment. He realized that he had indeed acted too hastily, and he couldn't help but laugh.
Chen Ling turned around and prepared to leave Hai Wuya's room. However, just as he turned around and walked to the door, Hai Wuya suddenly asked: "Elder Chen, is there any good news recently?"
Ever since Ye Feng entered the Lishui Sword Tomb, He Huan left a letter saying that he was going out to look for opportunities to break through, and left without saying goodbye.
These days, apart from thinking about Ye Feng, Hai Wuya has always been paying attention to He Huan. But so far, He Huan seems to have disappeared from the world, and there is no news.
Chen Ling shook his head and said: "No, I have recently sent more disciples to find He Huan's whereabouts, but so far, there is still no news. Sect Master, do you think He Huan will encounter Gu Lin and others and be killed?
?”
Hai Wuya took a deep breath, with a hint of worry between his brows.
Until now, he could only think about things in a good direction, but he really didn't want to confirm what Chen Ling said.
"Elder Chen, don't worry, He Huan is a man who died once. It will not be easy for anyone to take away his life." After saying that, Hai Wuya waved his hand and signaled Chen Ling to leave.
Outside the door of the room, Chen Ling's expression also became melancholy. He knew that what Hai Wuya said was actually just words of comfort. Unless He Huan had left the Yin Shang Kingdom, the disciples of the Li Shui Sword Sect would never pry.
release any news related to him.
In the blink of an eye, time flew by and it was the third day before the war.
In the past three days, sword cultivators began to gather at the foot of the Li Shui Sword Sect mountain. Three days before the battle, the small town at the foot of the mountain was already filled with sword cultivators from outside.
Among these sword cultivators, the majority were those who wanted to catch a glimpse of Chen Keni, the ninth master on the Tianxing Ranking. However, there were still some people who openly revealed that they came to the Lishui Sword Sect to help the Ancient Forest Sword Sect.
Boxing.
The spies placed in the town by the Lishui Sword Sect made a rough inquiry and found that there were as many as a thousand sword cultivators who came to help the Ancient Forest Sword Sect. Although the strongest among these people was only an eighth-level swordsman.
, but the emergence of such a powerful force still shocked the entire Li Shui Sword Sect.
The enemies are becoming more and more fierce, and the Li Shui Sword Sect's common hatred for the enemy is getting stronger.
When many disciples on the mountain learned the news, they were all filled with righteous indignation and gearing up, ready to attack the intruder severely.
On the second day before the war, thousands of disciples of the Ancient Forest Sword Sect, led by Gucci and Chen Keshu, also came to the small town at the foot of the Lishui Sword Sect's mountain.
The arrival of Gucci, Chen Keshu and many disciples of the Ancient Forest Sword Sect immediately made the town abuzz. At this time, many sword cultivators who had not expressed their opinions before but came to help also showed their fangs.
In the central square of the town, Gucci raised his arms and shouted, and nearly 3,000 people immediately responded. At this time, the Li Shui Sword Sect spies lurking in the town realized that half of the sword cultivators who came to the town actually
Everyone comes to fight against the Li Shui Sword Sect.
In the square of the small town at the foot of the mountain, Gucci delivered an impassioned speech. This speech was nothing more than a denunciation of the series of monopoly and occupations done by the Lishui Sword Sect after it occupied the position of the four major sects of the Yin Shang Kingdom.
These behaviors that were not considered crimes at first were all called crimes by Gucci. Later, he shouted loudly that the situation had changed, and it was time for the Li Shui Sword Sect to step down from the position of the four major sects.
In addition to inciting the emotions of many sword cultivators, Gucci also patted his chest and promised in front of thousands of sword cultivators that once the Ancient Forest Sword Sect becomes one of the four major sects, the gates of the mountain will be opened wide to welcome visitors from all directions. At that time,
Except for the Fenglin Huoshan Sword Technique, which is regarded as the final sword technique of the Gu Lin Sword Sect and is the treasure of the sect, and will not be loaned out, all the remaining sword techniques will be used by sword cultivators free of charge.
This promise from Gucci is tantamount to a godsend for those small sects or idle swordsmen.
You must know that a mid-level martial art on the market can cost hundreds of thousands of taels of gold, and such a fortune is something that many small sects and free sword cultivators cannot afford.
More and more people joined the ranks of denouncing the Lishui Sword Sect. On the night before the war, Gucci gathered nearly 5,000 sword cultivators in total.
Looking at the sword cultivators everywhere inside and outside the town, a cold light flashed in Gucci's eyes.
He has coveted the position of the leader of the four major sects for a long time. He originally thought that he would never be able to realize this dream in his life, but he did not expect that his beloved disciple would actually create such an opportunity for him out of thin air.
Tomorrow will be the day of the decisive battle between Chen Keshu and Ye Feng. Gucci has already decided that after Chen Keshu kills Ye Feng, he will immediately issue the order to attack the Lishui Sword Sect.
If the Li Shui Sword Sect protects its disciples and prevents Ye Feng from appearing, then he will directly issue an order to start a war with the Li Shui Sword Sect.
In the early morning of the next day, just after dawn, all the sword cultivators in the town woke up from their deep sleep.
After some integration, all the sword cultivators were packed up and ready to go.
Since Li Shui Sword Sect was not an area that anyone could enter without permission, most of the people were intercepted by the disciples from the outer courtyard of Li Shui Sword Sect who were stationed on the mountainside.
Even so, Gucci still brought Chen Keshu, Zi Ling, and nearly five hundred disciples into the inner courtyard of Li Shui Sword Sect, and asked Hai Wuya to greet them by name.
When Gucci led many elite disciples of the Ancient Forest Sword Sect to enter the Lishui Sword Sect, Hai Wuya, Chen Ling and a group of elders all gathered in front of the Lishui Sword Tomb.
Seeing that there was still no movement in the sword tomb, Hai Wuya couldn't help but shook his head helplessly.
Chen Ling took a step forward, came to Hai Wuya, and whispered: "Sect Master, how about we forcefully open the Li Shui Sword Tomb?"
Chen Ling's words made Hai Wuya's expression suddenly turn cold.
He turned around and glanced at those who agreed with Chen Ling's words, and said in a tone that left no room for doubt: "Everyone, there is no need to blame anyone. Do you still think that after Ye Feng appears, Gucci will not accuse Li?"
