Chapter 860 The Knife Palace

"Blade Palace? Ximen Jue's Blade Palace?" Meng Xiang seemed very calm, but a trace of turmoil appeared in his heart, and a hint of desire arose.

As the name suggests, the sword emperor is the emperor among swords. The sword technique must be unique. He loves sword techniques and has practiced and studied countless sword techniques. Many of them are left by experts from the Yuanshi Demon Sect. They are not inferior to some top sword techniques, but he still can't help but feel moved. Just like when the glutton hears about delicious food, he will involuntarily produce saliva in his mouth, which has become an instinct.

"Yes. It's in that sword emperor. Because Ximen Jue loves sword skills, he spent almost his whole life studying sword skills, so that he had no disciple who could inherit his mantle. When he felt that he was about to ascend to the fairy world, he suddenly felt very regretful in his heart. He had not accepted disciples to allow his unique skills to be carried forward, so he wanted to make up for this shortcoming."

"In the end he built and left the Knife Palace?" Meng Xiang's eyes lit up slightly.

"Mr. Meng, you guessed it right. Ximen Jue did leave a sword palace, but for a long time after he ascended to the Immortal Realm, people actually didn't believe in the existence of the sword palace."

"Oh? Why? Ximen Jue seems to have no reason to lie."

"He does not have any reason to lie, but if he ascended to the fairy world for more than a hundred years, but there is no sign of the existence of the Knife Palace, I think you will be suspicious."

Meng Xiang nodded and said, "If the situation is really as doubtful as you said, but how did it prove the existence of the Knife Palace later? I think the situation must have been a sensation, right?"

"Mr. Meng, you guessed it right again. It was indeed a sensation when the Sword Palace appeared. A golden palace that was thousands of times brighter than gold fell from the sky, and the light of treasure soared into the sky. Even cultivators who were thousands of miles away from it could see it. As for the distance to sense its existence, it was even farther away. It can be said that it brought the movement of the treasure to a great extent. It was very difficult for people to think about it."

Speaking of this, Feng Pingchuan paused for a moment, as if he had made Meng Xiang imagine the appearance of the Knife Palace in his mind, and seemed to just simply want to organize the language. After a moment, he continued: "Mr. Meng, you probably couldn't imagine it? What really made the entire spiritual world remember the Knife Palace was not its birth, but its manifestation in the next three months. No one who entered the Knife Palace appeared again."

"It doesn't seem to be anything. A cultivator has a long lifespan and has no idea about time. If you have studied sword techniques for a longer time, there should be no problem."

"If they entered the Knife Palace, they were really studying sword techniques, it would be fine, but the problem is that almost every once in a while, some corpses will fly out of the Knife Palace, all of which are broken limbs and arms, and they all look like they have been bitten by some carnivore. However, some traces can be found from the fuzzy limbs that prove their identity. They are part of the bodies of the cultivators who entered the Knife Palace. This situation continued until it flew away automatically. Although some of the remains of the cultivators were not found, they did not appear in the Knife Palace and disappeared with it."

After sighing quietly, Feng Pingchuan was silent for a while and said, "The palace left by the sword emperor Ximen Jue is very special. Every chance that appears will disappear even more strangely. Even if someone has established a connection with it, of course, many of these connections are unilateral, but they do not prevent people from determining its location. However, all of these are useless. Its disappearance is as strange as its appearance and cannot be tracked at all. From now on, it will appear almost every two hundred years, but its bright color is dimmer every time. When it appears last, it has turned gray and has also been much dimmed, as if it is about to be dumped."

"Tell me about your great gains today." Meng Xiang felt that the current atmosphere was a little depressed and slowly turned around the topic.

"Some people say that this time will be the last time the Knife Palace has appeared. If no one can truly inherit the Knife Emperor's mantra, it will completely collapse, and there will be major changes this time."

Meng Xiang did not go to Feng Pingchuan to ask why he believed the person who spoke, but he still asked a question he was more concerned about: "After so many years, hasn't anyone ever got anything from the Knife Palace?"

“Yes, and quite a few.”

"No. Don't you say that none of the people who entered the Knife Palace can survive?"

"Have I said this?" Feng Pingchuan showed a look of surprise, "Maybe I didn't make it clear. The entire army of immortal cultivators entering the Knife Palace only occurred when the Knife Palace first appeared. After that, although there were still people who died every time, the number was getting smaller and smaller."

"That's right." Meng Xiang nodded, "Did those who came out of the Sword Palace have become very powerful in swordsmanship?"

Feng Pingchuan shook his head and said, "The situation is just the opposite. No matter how profound the cultivators who entered the Sword Palace had in their original attainments in swordsmanship, they would give up on swordsmanship when they appeared. Then they would gain something from other weapons and their strength increased greatly. It would be considered a loss of gains from the east corner."

"I don't use a knife after coming out of the Knife Palace? How could this happen? Brother Feng, do you know the reason?" Meng Xiang showed a curious look.

"To be honest with Mr. Meng, I also want to know the answer to this question, and countless other immortal cultivators also want to know it, but unfortunately it has been a mystery until now."

"Why? Aren't so many people alive? Isn't it enough to ask them? How could anyone know the answer?" Meng Xiang's curious expression added a hint of doubt, and there were signs of increasing expansion.

"The problem of those cultivators came out alive from the High Sword Palace, but they were all tight-lipped. None of them was willing to say anything, so this mystery has not been solved until now."

Meng Xiang nodded, and did not get into trouble with this issue anymore. He asked another question he was more concerned about: "Then when will the Knife Palace appear this time? Where will it appear?"

"It should be on the full moon night of three months. As for the location where it appears, it is quite coincidental. It is on a big mountain less than two thousand miles away from Baiyun City, called Duanfeng Mountain. It is said that the mountain was not originally called Duanfeng Mountain, but Tianzhu Peak. It was named because the mountain was steep and its shape was like a pillar. The Ximen Jue sword technique behind it was successful. It cut Tianzhu Peak into two pieces with one knife, and then it was renamed Duanfeng Mountain."

"It seems that the news you received should be true." Meng Xiang showed a thoughtful look. Suddenly, his eyebrows raised and he looked at Feng Pingchuan, "Brother Feng, I have always had a question to ask you. I wonder if you can give me an answer now?"

"Question?" Feng Pingchuan was stunned for a moment, but he immediately returned to his calm. "Mr. Meng, please do whatever you have. I will definitely answer if I know."

"When you were in Red Stone City, you told the immortal cultivators who chased me that I had obtained the mantle of the sword emperor Ximen Jue. At that time, I thought you were just talking casually, just to scare them, but now I feel something is wrong. Can you tell you if you have any special intentions to say this?"

Feng Pingchuan shook his head and said, "I don't have any special intentions. I just said as I told you."

"Is someone asking you to say that?" Meng Xiang showed an unexpected look. He had thought of various answers, but he had never thought of this answer.

"Yes, I just did it."

"who is he?"

"He is Mr. Qi Xiaotianqi." Feng Pingchuan's face also showed a strange look, and he obviously felt the strangeness.

"Is it him? Have he ever told you why he asked you to say that?" Meng Xiang stared at Feng Pingchuan's eyes, his eyes shining with a strange luster, as if he could see his heart through his eyes, which made Feng Pingchuan feel a little nervous.

Almost subconsciously, Feng Pingchuan staggered Meng Xiang's eyes and said, "He just said that reporting the name of the Sword Emperor is likely to produce a great deterrent force and more likely to scare the enemy away." As he said that, his voice became smaller and smaller, and obviously he himself felt that this statement was completely untenable.

Meng Xiang was not serious about this question. Although Feng Pingchuan avoided his eyes, he could still see that what he said should be Qi Xiaotian's original words. In addition, Feng Pingchuan had helped him not long ago, so he didn't want to make things difficult for him. However, he still had a question to ask: "Brother Feng, I heard you just now that all the cultivators who entered the Knife Palace gave up their sword skills, and said that until the Knife Palace appeared, no one has ever really obtained the Knife Emperor's mantle. I think Qi Xiaotian must have known this, right?"

Feng Pingchuan seemed to have guessed why Meng Xiang asked this, and his face couldn't help but show a hint of bitterness, but he had to answer vaguely and answered: "It should be clear."

"Since Qi Xiaotian knows this, why did he make you claim that I have obtained the sword emperor's mantle? Do you think anyone will believe this?" Meng Xiang looked at Feng Pingchuan quietly, his eyes calm, like a deep pool of eyes, but for some reason, Feng Pingchuan felt even more pressure, like a big stone pressed on his chest, which made him breathless.

After about two seconds, Meng Xiang's eyes turned away, but Feng Pingchuan felt that it seemed that two hours had passed. He couldn't help but breathe a long breath of turbid air, calmed down his pounding heart, and then said: "Mr. Qi told me the answer to the whole question."

"I had thought that I would ask you this question for a long time. It seemed that I was well prepared." A strange smile appeared on the corner of Meng Xiang's mouth, and he couldn't tell what it meant.

Feng Pingchuan remained silent when he saw Meng Xiang touching the answer, but he was observing Meng Xiang with the light of his eyes. Although the expression on his face had not changed, his heart was turbulent. The longer he was with Meng Xiang, the more he felt that he could not understand him. Just like just now, he never thought that Meng Xiang's gaze would be so terrible that he almost couldn't help but escape.

After a moment, the smile on Meng Xiang's face disappeared, replaced by calmness, the kind of calm that seemed to remain unchanged forever. He glanced at Feng Pingchuan indifferently and said, "Brother Feng, please tell me what Qi Xiaotian said."

"Okay." Feng Pingchuan's perception of Meng Xiang changed again. Although he looked at him again just now, he didn't feel anything. He even felt his eyes had been projected on him. It was really strange. However, he calmed down and immediately relayed Qi Xiaotian's words, "Mr. Qi asked me to tell you that if you want to obtain the sword emperor's mantle, you may not necessarily enter the sword emperor palace. Well, by the way, Mr. Qi also asked me to hand this to you, saying that this is a small gift he gave you."

As he said that, as soon as he turned his wrists, a tooth-white scroll had already appeared in Feng Pingchuan's palm, which looked very simple and handed it to Meng Xiang.
