When all the inner disciples of the Chunzi Sect came to the outside of the courtyard, they found that this Senior Brother Zhou, who usually pressed them so much that they didn't even dare to breathe, was already lying on the ground and life and death were unknown, and Zhou Xian's chest and the ground paved with bluestone slabs where he was lying flat were all stained red with blood spit out from his mouth, and his appearance was tragic.

Seeing this, everyone from the Chunzi Sect looked at each other again, but no one dared to take the initiative to check on his situation. After a long time, in this team of more than a dozen people, only someone who lacked confidence asked Nuo Nuo, "Zhou ...... Senior Brother Zhou, will you die here?"

Hearing that someone was the first to speak, someone else said angrily: "Let your mother's stinky fart, if he dies, we will all have to bury him!"

"Yes...... However, the gust of wind just now is too evil, do you see clearly who the person who shot it is?"

When everyone heard this, they all shook their heads.

"Although I don't know who this person is, it will definitely not be our little junior brother, it is estimated that the sect master arranged it by his side to keep him safe. Another said.

"That'...... Is it possible that the sect master and his old man personally took action?"

"Which tendon is wrong in your body, and what kind of identity is the sect master, how can you be so ruthless to your own disciples? Besides, the person who told us to get out before was obviously a woman's voice, are you deaf?"

Without waiting for the slightly timid disciple to speak again, a giant sword finally flew in the twilight sky, and above the flying sword, stood the old man from the No. 1 Little Lotus Peak.

The old man's face was gloomy, and he fell directly in front of the many disciples of the Chunzi Sect, and everyone present saw that it was this old man, and their hearts were already cold, and they all bowed their heads and saluted, and said tremblingly: "The disciple has seen the Supreme Elder. ”

It was the old man of the Taishang Elder of the Chunzi Sect who ignored the salute of this group of disciples, and immediately walked quickly to Zhou Xian, who was lying flat on the ground, he reached out and grabbed the latter's right hand, and noticed the bursts of beating from the other party's wrist, so he was relieved and relieved from the bottom of his heart.

Although when he saw the sword qi on the Little Lotus Peak, he had already rushed to the main peak with all his strength, but in the end, he was still a step slower, but fortunately, the other party only knocked his own personal disciple unconscious, but he did not leave any incurable internal injuries, nor did he damage his cultivation foundation.

The old man lifted Zhou Xian, who had passed out, turned to face the Liuyun courtyard, and said loudly: "Thank you for the mercy of the girl's subordinates, I wonder if you can return my sword, red candle?"

After the old man finished speaking, it was almost ten breaths before a voice came from the courtyard.

The voice still sounded as crisp and pleasant as before, but when it fell on the ears of the disciples of the Chunzi Sect, it had an indescribable terrifying meaning, and they only heard the voice reply: "If you want a red candle, you can exchange the four-character sword technique that your disciple has cultivated!"

When the old man heard this, he didn't hesitate at all, and then took out a book from his arms, and then he threw it away, and the book flew into the Liuyun courtyard as if it had grown wings.

A moment later, a flying sword burst out of the courtyard and was nailed directly to the bluestone slab in front of the old man's feet.

A sword pierced through the bluestone under his feet, and the sword body kept shaking, making a trembling sound.

The old man was not angry at the other party's way of warning, he took out the red candle by himself, but glanced at all the disciples present with extremely indifferent eyes, and let out a cold snort between his noses, and then he held Zhou Xian in one hand and the red candle in the other, and stepped on the giant sword again.

The greatsword flashed in the air and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

......

When Xu Yan returned to the kitchen, the cardinal was frying the beaten egg before, but he didn't know that the chopsticks in the latter's hand had actually been replaced with a new pair.

Seeing that Xu Yan had already sorted out his image, Cardinal couldn't help but glance at him, and then sneered: "Tsk, have you come back from a trip to grow your breath? You dare to fight against the sword cultivator who is close to the fourth floor, but even if you want to steal other people's sword moves, you don't necessarily have to use this method, aren't you really afraid of being killed by the other party's sword?"

When Xu Yan heard this, he smiled and replied: "In this courtyard, he still doesn't dare to kill me, huh...... He can't kill me!"

Cardinal heard what he meant, but his face did not improve, and he took care of the fried eggs with green onions in the pot. But it seems that the eggs are still a little burnt, obviously before, in order to block Zhou Xian's sword, she made the vegetable oil in the pot burn too strongly.

Bringing the boiled eggs to the table, Cardinal went back and poured the broth from the crockpot into a large porcelain basin, and said, "Let's eat first!"

Xu Yan nodded, helped her make a bowl of rice, and when he handed it to her, he suddenly said, "Thank you this time!"

The cardinal looked stunned, but took the rice bowl but did not answer.

She took a bite of the omelette, and when she ate it in her mouth, she found that it was really not delicious, and then she took two other stir-fried side dishes and tasted it lightly, which was even more unpalatable, and it seemed that cooking in the case of being disturbed, the food would indeed change the taste, although these dishes did not look much different from usual.

So, the cardinal threw the chopsticks on the table, his face looked extremely displeased, and he frowned and asked, "Say thank you and it's over?"

Xu Yan is not as mouthy as her, because he is not a picky eater, and he feels that tonight's food is no different from usual, the same delicious and delicious, plus he has been on a mission in Huangmaojian in the past few days, and he has eaten some hard dry food distributed by the disciples of the sect, and now he can eat such a hot dinner, he is already very satisfied.

However, when Xu Yan saw the other party's face, with a little annoyance, he replied weakly: "Then I'll wash the dishes tonight?"

When the cardinal heard this, his clear eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and the dark clouds on his face dispersed, revealing an expression of 'young man, you are very good', and said with a wicked smile: "Yes!"

......

When Xu Yan finished washing the pots and pans, she found that the cardinal was sitting on the bench of the dining table and flipping through a book, which didn't look very thick, about four or five pages, but she seemed to be reading it with relish.

However, because the content of the book was indeed too little, she quickly turned to the last page, and saw that Xu Yan was already free at this time, so she threw the book in her hand on him and said: "Na, this is what you want to exchange for your life, I won't take advantage of you, and return it to you." ”

When Xu Yan heard this, he couldn't help but be a little inexplicable, and then opened the book, only to find that this thing turned out to be a sword book, and as he quickly browsed the contents page by page, he found that the moves described in the sword book only had four moves, which were the four-character sword tricks used by Zhou Xian before: Storm.

Xu Yan closed the sword book, looked at the indifferent look of the cardinal, and was quite grateful, if she hadn't made a move tonight, she would have been seriously injured, and just by feeling the sword technique used by Zhou Xian once, she wanted to steal the master successfully, and the difficulty was bound to be not small, and there was no direct reference to this sword book to practice.

However, to let himself express his gratitude to her again and again, Xu Yan felt a little embarrassed.

Seeing that he looked like he wanted to speak, Cardinal rolled his eyes again at the moment, and took the initiative to change the topic: "Although the power of this set of sword techniques is average, but for you now, it is very suitable, and even after your cultivation reaches the middle three realms, this set of sword tricks can still exert good power, especially the last two moves, if they are used well, they may not be able to fight with the sword cultivation who has just entered the upper three realms." ”

Hearing this, Xu Yan nodded in approval, and then thought of the power of thunder and lightning contained in the sudden word duel, so he asked: "When I was subjected to the other party's sudden word duel before, I found that under this majestic sword qi, there was also a trace of thunder and lightning power, what is this?"

Hearing this, the cardinal paused, but in the end he didn't choose to hide it, and said bluntly: "This is the power of the sword spirit stored in that red candle." ”

"The power of the sword spirit?"

"How to say it, a famous sword is actually like a living person, and the sword spirit is equivalent to human consciousness, your current cultivation is still too weak, and it doesn't really do much good to tell you this, and your sword is one of the top ten famous swords, to be honest, it's hard for me to be sure until now, it chose you as the new master, whether it was your luck or your misfortune. ”

Cardinal pondered for a moment and continued: "As far as I know, the person who once owned this famous sword, when he was able to use the power of this sword spirit stored in Fuyao, he was already a sword cultivator after Dacheng, and you also know that in the Wuzhou Continent, Dacheng sword cultivation is nothing more than what people call the Upper Three Realms. ”

Hearing this news, Xu Yan's heart sank, although at this moment he only slightly understood the power of the sword spirit, but according to the meaning of the cardinal, if he wanted to use the true power of the sudden word duel, it seemed that his cultivation had to reach seven floors. Of course, what made Xu Yan feel most depressed was that if this set of four-character sword techniques was really as described in the mouth of the cardinal, then after he stepped into the upper three realms, it would already be powerless in terms of power, and he could really use it at that time, so what was the use of it?

Xu Yan raised his sword eyebrows, and said a little unwillingly: "Then there is no other way, can you use the power of the sword spirit in Fuyao early?"

To this question, Cardinal glanced at him with a very complicated expression, but did not answer directly, and then got up and walked out the door, but when she went out, she left another sentence and said: "By the way, your master asked you to go to his Ruoshui Courtyard tomorrow afternoon, saying that he has something important to explain to you." ”

Xu Yan was not dissatisfied with the cardinal's last words, looking at her hesitation, this problem may involve some privacy that she can't disclose herself, but according to her reaction, it is obvious that there is another way, as long as there is a way, then there is a chance to achieve it, after all, this set of four-character sword techniques, Xu Yan must practice.

So, Xu Yan nodded to her and replied with a smile: "Okay, I know." ”
