A huge mountain range is looming in the sea of clouds.
The mountains rise and fall like the back of a giant dragon.
A faint array of light shrouded the mountains, adding a bit of sanctity.
Among them, there are five more peaks that stand out from the crowd.
The southeast corner is called "Jiuyan Peak", which is where the cave of Jiuyan Sword Lord is located.
This mountain range is where the Yunhai Sect is based.
At this moment, in Jiuyan Peak Square, an elder was teaching sword techniques, and hundreds of disciples were listening attentively to the lecture.
"Since the establishment of Yunhai Sect, we have maintained the tradition of 'one emperor and four deities'.
The so-called ‘One Emperor’ is our sect master, the Sword Emperor!”
It happened that a group of new students were entering the school, and the teaching elders talked about the origins of Yunhai Sect.
The leader of the Yunhai Sect, also known as the "Sword King", is the only one in the entire East China Sea.
Regardless of the Wuliang Sword Sect or the Soul Sword Sect, their sect masters do not dare to claim the title of emperor.
Only the head of the Yunhai Sect was named Sword Emperor.
There is no other reason. The leader of Yunhai Sect is arrogant in strength and is a powerful person in the Immortal Ascension Realm.
Not only did he become immortal, he also had the ability to leave his body and immortalize his sword.
In today's East China Sea Alliance, he is naturally worthy of the title "Sword King".
As for the Infinite Sword Sect and the Soul Sword Sect, the sect leaders of these two sects are at the peak of the Golden Core Realm, and are still one step away from the Divine Ascension Realm.
"Sword Emperors in the past have only accepted four direct disciples, which are the Four Great Sword Masters.
Our Jiuyan Sword Master of Jiuyan Peak is the fourth disciple of Lord Sword Emperor, and his status is extremely respected."
The lecturer stroked his beard with a proud look on his face.
The disciples below could not help but hear an uproar, their eyes flickered, full of awe.
"Sir Elder, how powerful is our Sword Master?"
Suddenly a disciple boldly asked a question.
The teaching elder was even more proud and smiled, "Let's put it this way, in the entire East China Sea Alliance, except for a few sect masters in the Golden Core realm, no one can kill Lord Sword Master."
Say it.
He pointed to a standing stone monument in the center of the square.
This stone tablet is as straight as a sword, a hundred feet high, and is covered with sword marks.
These sword marks were all left by Jiuyan Sword Master's comprehension of sword techniques.
He even integrated the soul and the power of the sword into this stone tablet.
"This monument is called the 'Qiankun Monument'. Each of the four great sword masters has one. If the Qiankun Monument does not fall, the sword master will be immortal.
Do you know how many years this Qiankun Monument has been standing?"
The lecturer asked with a smile.
"Two hundred years?"
"Three hundred years?"
"Could it be five hundred years?"
Disciples kept making guesses.
The teaching elder shook his head and said loudly: "Our Jiuyan Peak, this monument of heaven and earth, has been standing for twelve hundred years."
"What? Twelve hundred years?"
The crowd was in an uproar.
"Don't be surprised. It's only been 1,200 years, so this Qiankun Monument will always exist..."
As the teaching elder spoke, he bowed towards the Qiankun Monument.
But just as he was about to bend down, the majestic and huge sacred stone monument made a loud noise.
Immediately, in full view of everyone, the stone tablet exploded and collapsed.
The huge square was crumbling, and smoke and dust swept hundreds of feet into the sky.
A panicked scream quickly spread throughout Jiuyan Peak.
"The Qiankun Monument has fallen..."
The lecturer was stunned.
The disciples below all had faces as white as paper and were so frightened that they could not speak.
Once the Qiankun Monument falls, it means that Jiuyan Sword Master is dead.
"How is this possible? How could Lord Sword Master die?"
The lecturer sat slumped on the ground, his eyes empty.
At this moment, more than a dozen sword lights shot out and landed on the square.
The visitors were all high-level officials of the Yunhai Sect.
Except for the Sword Emperor who was not present, the other three great sword masters showed up one after another.
There were also many sect elders who were also alarmed.
"Jiuyan's Qiankun Monument collapsed? Who killed him?"
A handsome man with flowing white clothes and flying silver hair said in surprise.
This man's eyes were deep and his aura was restrained, but his domineering aura without anger made all the disciples present tremble and worship him.
The man in white is the "Yunshang Sword Master", the first of the four great sword masters.
"Did Jiuyan go to Xuanming Island? Could it be someone from Xuanming Island did it?"
A short, fat middle-aged man wearing a dark green robe frowned.
This person is "Mo Yuan Sword Master", the second oldest.
"Does Xuanming Island have the guts? Do they really dare to start a war with Yunhai Sect?"
Sword Master Yunshang shook his head and chuckled, not agreeing with this view.
"If it's not Xuanming Island, then I really can't think of anyone else. There aren't many people in the entire East China Sea Alliance who can kill Jiuyan."
Sword Master Mo Yuan murmured to himself.
"Junior Sister Chiyue, you have a wide network of contacts. Do you have any information on Xuanming Island's recent trends?"
Sword Master Yunshang's eyes moved slightly and glanced at the woman aside.
Although this woman was wearing a long gown, her tall figure could not be hidden at all.
She looks about thirty years old, a little more charming than a girl, but not as old and sallow. It's just perfect.
She has a graceful temperament and gentle eyes. She doesn't look like a supreme being, but more like the sister next door.
But no one dares to question the strength of the Red Moon Sword Master.
Among the four great sword masters, although she ranks third, in terms of strength, she is no worse than Sword Master Mo Yuan.
These two people are both at the eighth level of Tianfu.
As for Yunshang Sword Master, he is at the ninth level of Tianfu and has a golden elixir in sight.
"According to the information I received, Jiuyan did have some conflicts with Xuanming Island, but the conflict was not serious. Jiuyan and the others quickly left Xuanming Island.
If my inference is correct, Jiuyan probably died on Snake Witch Island."
Red Moon Sword Master said unhurriedly.
She has a wide network of contacts and her eyes are all over the East China Sea, so any troubles cannot be hidden from her eyes and ears.
Since she said so, it must be true.
"Not Xuanming Island, but Snake Witch Island?"
Sword Master Mo Yuan was slightly startled.
"Is there anyone on Snake Witch Island who can match Jiu Yan? I'm afraid some enemies in the dark are starting to take action."
Sword Master Yunshang narrowed his eyes slightly, thoughtfully.
"Master's prediction is correct. Now not only our three major sword sects, the three major immortal mountains, but also the demon clan, the demonic path, and some sects on the land have all intervened in this matter."
Sword Master Mo Yuan pondered.
A group of senior sect members were also whispering, each of their faces looking heavier than the last.
No one thought that Jiuyan Sword Master would fall.
This is probably the greatest humiliation that Yunhaizong has suffered in thousands of years.
"The Qiankun Sword Bi on Jiuyan must not fall into the hands of others. Junior Brother Mo Yuan and I will go there, and you will stay behind at Yunhai Sect."
Sword Master Yunshang quickly made up his mind.
The four pieces of the Qiankun Sword are invincible when combined. One of them is indispensable.
Moreover, the Qiankun Jianbi has been passed down from generation to generation and is the identity authentication of the Four Great Sword Masters.
The Jiuyan Sword Lord may die, but the Qiankun Sword Bi must be taken back.
"Junior Brother Mo Yuan, let's go!"
Immediately, the two of them turned into a sword light and flew away.
