Chapter 2271: Sword City farce, keeping a low profile (1/2)

It was late at night, and the sky was dotted with stars.

The Jijian Immortal City, shrouded in the night, was as prosperous and lively as ever. The ubiquitous ancient sword energy did not affect the enthusiasm of the monks in the city. The streets were brightly lit, and there was an endless stream of foreign monks.

Unlike other schools, although most sword cultivators were aloof by nature, they also liked to be accompanied by fine wine. Therefore, the buildings in the city were filled with people who came to get drunk. There were many people who talked and talked, and some even drew their swords on the spot when they disagreed with each other and agreed to go to the city’s martial arts arena to settle their grievances. Whenever this happened, many monks would watch, but no city guards intervened.

This is because Jijian Xiancheng is very different from other Xianchengs. As the sword cultivators are too aggressive, sword fights in the street often happen. Therefore, many years ago, Ximen simply modified the rules and set up fighting arenas in various places in the city for cultivators from all walks of life to settle personal grievances. As long as the people on the stage sign a life and death agreement, it will be fine.

So every night when Jijian Xiancheng is the most prosperous, it is also the most intense moment of the duel in the fighting arenas. The hearty fighting scene has attracted many cultivators to stop and watch, such as Qin Tian.

At this moment, he had just arrived in Xiancheng not long ago, and he had changed his appearance again. He became a white-bearded old Taoist with white hair and beard, fluttering sleeves, carrying a long sword, holding a whisk, and walking like a dragon and a tiger. His appearance can be regarded as a fairy.

For the sake of caution, he did not hide his true cultivation, but only slightly concealed his aura. In addition, the blood resentment power that was contaminated had long been eliminated by the "Upper Pure World Curse", and there was no need to worry about being tracked by the secret technique.

But for some reason, he did not rush to run away, but strolled leisurely in the city, occasionally seeing ritual objects and would buy them. Finally, he went directly to a busy wine shop, ordered a few pots of high-quality spiritual wine and began to drink and taste it carefully. His style was not the same as that of ordinary cultivators, and he was the kind that was inconspicuous in the crowd.

Obviously, in order to verify the effect of this arrangement, he was waiting for a good show to be staged.

It should be noted that the most dangerous place is often the safest. I am afraid that no one would have thought that the real culprit behind such a bloody case would dare to appear in Jijian Xiancheng?

Sure enough, in the middle of the night, a monstrous aura of pressure suddenly spread from the teleportation hall, and a black-robed figure ignored the forbidden air formation and flew directly into the sky and flew away.

You don't need to look to know that it must be the Black Dragon Ancestor.

With the appearance of the powerful person in the fusion stage, it immediately caused a commotion in the city. Many cultivators were talking about it and secretly guessing the identity of the person. Even the city government was alarmed.

But before Ximen could react, the escape light had already gone away quickly. It was obvious that the Black Dragon Ancestor had tracked the location of the fall of his precious grandson through his unique secret technique, and rushed to the scene to investigate.

Seeing this scene, Qin Tian was calm and continued to taste the wine and food leisurely, because everything was going according to his plan. If nothing unexpected happened, there would be a good show later.

.................

As the day approached, the light returned quickly, but the face of the Black Dragon Ancestor was extremely gloomy. He came directly to the sky above the Immortal City without any courtesy, and the overwhelming pressure came down, almost covering the entire Immortal City.

In an instant, the sky changed color, and the wind and clouds surged!

Caught off guard, facing the terrible pressure of the realm, the cultivators of the Void Refining Stage could still barely resist, but the young cultivators of the Nascent Soul Stage, such as the Godly Stage, were all suppressed and could not raise their heads, and some even collapsed on the ground with blood spurting out of their faces.

As for the younger generations below the Nascent Soul Stage, they fell into coma in large numbers, and many were directly injured, and even became idiots and died.

For a moment, the city was in chaos, with all kinds of screams and curses mixed together. The scene could only be described as chaos.

As the saying goes, when a strong man gets angry, all living things will suffer!

This is not an exaggeration!

With just one person's strength, thousands of cultivators were suppressed and couldn't raise their heads. At this moment, the might of the fusion stage ancestor was undoubtedly revealed!

Facing this spectacular scene, Qin Tian couldn't help but sigh inwardly, and then he lay down without saying anything, and began to perform his unique skills, and waited for the show to begin!

Sure enough, not long after lying down, a powerful divine sense quickly descended, carefully scanning every cultivator inside and outside the fairy city. It was obvious that the Black Dragon Ancestor was investigating something.

But in the end, he found nothing.

So he could no longer suppress his anger, and he simply opened his throat and roared to the sky, and his furious voice resounded through the sky:

"You are so good, Ximen family, you keep saying that you want to form an alliance with me, but you secretly attack my grandson. If you don't give an explanation today, I will never let you go.........!"

As the voice spread, coupled with the continuous pressure, the originally chaotic Immortal City quickly fell into a dead silence. Faced with such an unexpected disaster, all the cultivators in the city looked at each other, obviously not knowing what happened at all, but due to the power of the powerful people in the fusion stage, no one dared to stand up and accuse, and they could only grit their teeth and support themselves.

Such a big commotion naturally attracted the attention of the Ximen family. For example, in a courtyard somewhere in the city, Ximen Xue, who was wearing a white robe, could not help but frown.

"How could this old guy suddenly kill you? Why don't you go into such a big fight over two mere lackeys of the Black Dragon Guard? Could it be that something happened to Gu Yihan...?"

While muttering to himself, Ximen Xue suddenly felt an ominous premonition. When he thought about the mysterious disappearance of the peerless monster, he suddenly smelled a hint of conspiracy, and his face became unusually gloomy.

But since the Four Great Swordsmen did take action and beat the bodies of the two Black Dragon Guard commanders to pieces, it was also under the instruction of Ximen Xue, so before seeing the situation clearly, the Ximen Young Master could only act casually. 's silence.

After all, no matter how powerful the Jade-Faced Sword Immortal is, he would not dare to face the wrath of a strong man in the Fusion Stage alone. Besides, if the sky falls and there is a tall man holding it up, he Ximen is definitely not afraid of trouble!

Sure enough, at this critical moment, a monstrous force erupted from the depths of the city, directly impacting the coercion that shrouded the fairy city completely, and then a sword light rose into the sky, 꿨 A middle-aged man in red and brocade robes stands in the air.

Let's look at this man who is nine meters tall, has an imposing manner, has a Chinese character face that is not angry and intimidating, and there is an evil spirit lingering between his eyebrows. He also has a three-green peak on his back. Just by standing there, you can get it. The surroundings were calm, and even the raging sword energy in the sky fell silent.

Judging from the momentum, this person's cultivation has actually reached the early stage of integration, and he is still a pure sword cultivator. His strength is probably not weaker than that of the Black Dragon Ancestor.

And with the appearance of the middle-aged man in brocade robes, there were a lot of comments from all over the city, many of which were filled with exclamations:

"Oh my God, look, is that the legendary swordsman in red, Ximen Ye? It is said that this man is extremely talented. He was the youngest fusion-stage elder of the Ximen family, but he has lived in seclusion for many years and has never appeared. I never thought that I would be lucky enough to see it with my own eyes today. !”

"What~? Red Sword Immortal? I heard that there are four supreme elders in the Ximen family, and senior Ximen Ye has the greatest potential. It is even said that he has Mahayana qualifications, but I don't know if it is true or not?"

"Hey~! No matter if it is true or not, it is said that the sword fairy Qingfeng in red will see blood when he unsheathes it. I'm afraid there will be a good show today! But I didn't expect that Cheng 덿 didn't come forward, but let the sword fairy in red take action. It seems The top management of the Ximen family is also very angry!”

"Hehe~! You don't understand this. According to the inside information I know, although the Ximen clan has four great elders, the first elder has been in seclusion all year round and does not care about worldly affairs. The elder 괗 is traveling abroad and his whereabouts are unknown. The third elder is... The four elders, the red-clothed Sword Immortals, are the ones who guard the Immortal City and have the most leisure time. Now it’s rare to encounter someone who dares to come and stir up trouble, so naturally they have to go out and stretch their muscles! "

"I see, this old guy dares to come to Ji Sword Fairy City to cause trouble. It seems he is destined to be kicked out of the iron!"

.....................

At the same time, as an uproar broke out in the city, the red-clothed swordsman Ximen Ye who arrived at the scene looked at the Black Dragon Ancestor with sharp eyes, and then shouted coldly and unceremoniously:

"Gu Nantian, what's wrong with you? You went to the Ji Sword Fairy City to cause trouble for no reason. Could it be that you don't take the Ximen family seriously...?"

As he spoke, a surge of coercion suddenly erupted, and he rushed towards the opposite side unceremoniously. It was obvious that what the Black Dragon Ancestor had done had completely angered the Ximen Family. Faced with such a blatant provocation, he naturally couldn't help it. He will take the opponent's face into consideration again and must respond with a strong attitude. Otherwise, where will the majesty of the No. 1 swordsman family exist?

However, seeing this situation, the Black Dragon Ancestor was so angry that he pointed at his nose and yelled:

"Okay, okay, you're such a red-robed swordsman, you, Ximen, have killed your grandson, but you still have the nerve to pretend to be crazy and beat him up here. It's so shameless. Is this the way to form an alliance with your Ximen family... ....."

As soon as these words came out, Ximen Ye was stunned for a moment, and his eyebrows knitted tightly together.

Although his intuition told him that there must be something fishy in this, but in full view of everyone, he naturally would not accept the matter and simply replied in a strong tone:

"Hmph~! That's nonsense. The Ximen family has always been upright, how could they do such a stupid thing? Besides, since our family has submitted the covenant, how can we kill your grandson for no reason? I would like to advise fellow Taoist Gu not to slander anyone, so as not to It won’t end until the end!”

There is no doubt that these words not only cleared up the matter, but also contained a threat.

The black dragon ancestor Gu Nantian was furious. How could he endure such grievances? So he immediately stroked his sleeves and robe, threw something in the air and flew towards Ximen Ye, and an angry shout resounded:

"Okay, okay~! What a bloody person! Ximen Ye, you should first see what this thing is and then make a conclusion, so as not to say that I care about someone unreasonably!"

Hearing this, Ximen Ye wanted to argue, but he saw a white talisman flying towards him. It was the exclusive token of the sword fairy Ximen Xue.

At the same time, the voice of the Black Dragon Ancestor also sounded again:

"This command talisman was found at the place where my grandson died. If I remember correctly, it should be owned by a nobleman, right? May I ask fellow Taoist Ximen Ye how to explain it?"

As soon as he said this, Ximen Ye on the opposite side finally realized the seriousness of the situation. Even his aura was not weak at all, and then he gradually said in a gentle tone:

"Ahem~! Daoist Gu, please calm down. In my opinion, there must be some misunderstanding. My Xue'er has been in seclusion in the clan recently and has not stepped out of the fairy city. Besides, a token alone does not mean anything. Daoist Gu, please do not let someone with ulterior motives take advantage of you...!"

"Humph~! What a misunderstanding. Now that the criminal has been caught red-handed, and the incident happened on your Ximen family's territory, you still want to quibble here. It is obvious that you are deliberately shielding. Is this how the first family of swordsmanship treats its allies?"

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he was forcibly interrupted by Gu Nantian. After all, his patience had long been exhausted, and he was not going to tear his face off.

Seeing this situation, Ximen Ye couldn't help but get angry. If it were his usual temper, he would have drawn his sword long ago, but now that the other party brought up the alliance, he couldn't go too far. Otherwise, once the rumor got out, wouldn't it chill the hearts of all the allies?

Finally, he was helpless and could not suppress his anger, and bowed slightly to Gu Nantian:

"Gu Daoyou, please calm down. Since this has already happened, our Ximen family will give a reasonable explanation. Since Gu Daoyou has come from afar, our Ximen family should show our friendship. How about we talk for a while?"

But the Black Dragon Patriarch did not buy it at all, and still shouted with a gloomy face:

"Don't give me this, is there anything that can't be said in person? Could it be that your Ximen family intends to bully others and destroy me as well?"

When these words came out, Qin Tian, ​​who witnessed the whole process, couldn't help but twitch his mouth, and was almost stimulated to break on the spot. Obviously, he never expected that these usually high-ranking fusion stage masters would also be so red-faced and thick-necked when quarreling, and even did not hesitate to act like a rogue in public.

Seeing that the other party was unmoved, Ximen Ye's face darkened, and then he simply stroked his sleeves and sent a voice message to the people below:

"Xue'er, come up and explain the matter clearly, so as not to damage the family's reputation. Your fourth uncle will take care of everything for you. This old man will never dare to do anything reckless. You can rest assured.........!"

While speaking, Ximen Ye looked at Ximen Xue with a doting look, and even made a blunt guarantee.

It is probably because Ximen Xue has been able to show his ability and character since he became a prince, and his talent in swordsmanship is the best among all. Even he, the red-robed sword fairy, is ashamed of himself. He is the best candidate to hold power in the future.

Therefore, even though Ximen Xue was born of a concubine, he was still highly regarded by several great elders. In this case, let alone not killing anyone, even if he really killed the black dragon, there would be absolutely no room for compromise.

This is the confidence of the first family of swordsmanship!

If you can't even protect your own family, how can you have the face to fight for the reputation of the holy land of swordsmanship? Moreover, the four combined strong men are in the same family, how can they really take the black dragon seriously?

After getting Ximen Ye's guarantee, Ximen Xue was not relieved, and immediately turned into a light and flew into the sky. As Ximen Ye, he naturally has the privilege of flying in the sky.

After arriving at the scene, Ximen Xue naturally did not dare to tell about sending people to besiege the Black Dragon, let alone revealing the record of beating the two Black Dragon Guards to the point of physical collapse, otherwise he would be really humiliated.

So he simply avoided talking about it and swore a poisonous oath directly to the sky, with a calm and unyielding face:

"Junior Ximen Xue, meet Senior Gu, I dare to swear by my inner demons that I have never killed your family. If I violate this oath, I will be punished by heaven and earth!"

"Besides, although this talisman belongs to me, I have also given it out as a token of trust over the years. It does not rule out that someone deliberately framed me. I hope that Senior will be able to see through everything and not be calculated by the traitors...!"

As he spoke, Ximen Xue also muttered secretly.

According to the information brought back by the four great sword servants, Gu Yihan was protected by two mid-term commanders and had a wind-controlling demon pigeon as a mount. Logically, if he hadn't encountered a master of the perfect level of refining emptiness, he would have been able to walk sideways. Therefore, the kid who had just survived the heavenly tribulation could not do anything to him.

The most reasonable explanation should be that the kid failed to escape and was caught up and killed by the black dragon. It happened that a third group of mysterious people appeared and wiped out the black dragon and others. They also deliberately left clues and put the blame on the Ximen family. This is obviously a trick to divert trouble and sow discord. Its purpose is to make the Ximen family's covenant plan that has been planned for many years fail.

This also explains why the boy agreed, but then mysteriously disappeared after receiving the talisman. It turns out that he died on the way.

In summary, the biggest suspicion is obvious.

After thinking about it, the only one who dares to act like this in the Falling Star Domain is the Cangjian Valley. This will not only kill the evildoer that the Ximen family just found in the cradle, but also create a rift between the Ximen family and its allies. It is really a strategy that kills two birds with one stone!

After some analysis, Ximen Xue suddenly felt that the clouds were cleared and his heart was even more certain. He quickly sent a voice message to tell Ximen Ye who was standing beside him the details. After hearing the words, the latter thought about it for a while, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He must have agreed with this speculation.

..................

At the same time, seeing Ximen Xue swearing a poisonous oath in public, and with a clear conscience, the Black Dragon Patriarch was also slightly stunned, and he also had doubts in his heart.

Although he looked red-faced and angry, he was actually not sure who the murderer was.

놙Since Ximen Xue's command talisman appeared in the Gobi, it was no less than ten thousand miles away from the place where Gu Yihan fell. 땤At the place where Gu Yihan fell, the Shinto Sect token also appeared at the same time. This matter is a bit confusing no matter how you look at it.

But this place is the territory of the Ximen clan after all, so Ximen Xue is the most suspect. Even if he is not the real culprit, he must be involved. Moreover, in the view of his Black Dragon Ancestor, the Shinto Sect token left behind is clearly the intention of the real culprit behind the scenes. The purpose of leaving it is to confuse the public.

After all, his Shinto Sect is far away in the wilderness, and he is on the same side as the Black Dragon. How could he come all the way to hunt down his precious grandson inexplicably? So no matter how you look at it, this is all trying to hide the truth!

After some well-founded analysis, Gu Nantian was firm in his guess, so he immediately said with a sarcastic face:

"Hmph~! Even if you, Ximen, haven't killed you, there are so many masters in the Ximen family, who can guarantee that the other subordinates haven't killed you? After all, this happened in the Falling Star Territory, and you, Ximen, are definitely not involved!"

As soon as this statement came out, Ximen Xue was really at a loss to argue.

Even Ximen Ye's face suddenly darkened, and he couldn't help but said in a cold tone:

"Gu Nantian, our Ximen family has already explained that you'd better not mess around...!"

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the Black Dragon Ancestor waving his sleeves, and his attitude was as tough as ever:

"Nonsense. If you don't hand him over today, I will report it to the Ding Immortal. From now on, your family and I will fight to the death...!"

As soon as these remarks were made, it was equivalent to completely tearing one's face, so when Ximen Ye saw this, he no longer tolerated it, he simply laughed and said domineeringly:

"Hahaha~! It's ridiculous. Who do we need to befriend, as we are the number one family in swordsmanship? You, Gu Nantian, dare to talk nonsense until death? You are really fooling the world!"

"Xue'er, please step aside for now and leave this place to your fourth uncle!"

After saying the taunt, Ximen Ye carried it with one hand on his back, his sword intent surged all over his body, and he was already ready to take action.

In order to avoid harming Chi Yu, Ximen Xue naturally did not dare to stay and quickly turned into a ray of light and returned to the house.

Seeing that the situation is not good, the monks in the city are inevitably panicked, and some have even begun to flee outside the city. After all, everyone knows that once a strong person in the integration stage takes action, it will definitely be overwhelming and earth-shattering. In this case If you don't escape quickly, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Only some people with keen minds still stayed where they were with calm faces, such as Qin Tian, ​​one of them.
