Wen Yanhan is a third-generation disciple of the sect. He was a little uneasy when he heard this. After all, a monk in the Golden Core Realm suddenly appeared and also specified the sect leader who wanted to visit them. Anyone would be suspicious.
It's just that the other party's cultivation level is too high. Although Wen Yanhan looks young, he has been practicing Taoism for more than seventy years. He knows that he is like an ant in the eyes of the other party. I'm afraid he won't be able to deal with it well, so he will kill him if he wants to.
.
Liang Yan naturally saw the hesitation in her heart, and said with a gentle smile: "You don't need to be too nervous. If I want to be disadvantageous to your sect, I will never worship the mountain in such an upright and open manner, and I won't say that I will use secret techniques to kill you."
Even if you control me, even if you secretly follow you, with your level of cultivation, you will never be able to discover Liang!"
After hearing what he said, Wen Yanhan pondered for a long time, then nodded slightly, seeming to agree with this statement.
Seeing her move, Liang Yan continued: "Liang came here this time because he actually wanted to ask for something, so he didn't want to use those dirty tricks. He just wanted to pay homage to the mountain and hope that the girl would lead the way for me."
Wen Yanhan hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and said: "Senior has great power. If it is about other things, I will definitely know everything about it. But this matter is related to the safety of the sect. Can I wait for the junior to pass a letter to the master? As long as he agrees, the junior will
I will take you to the sect immediately."
Seeing her being so cautious, Liang Yan felt a little amused in his heart. The Qingyu Sword Sect was really low-key. Even though it was now opening its gates and recruiting disciples, its behavior was still the same as it had been many years ago.
"No problem, you can send a message to the head of your sect now. Liang will be waiting here." Liang Yan said nonchalantly.
Wen Yanhan felt relieved when he agreed. He immediately took out a tortoise shell-shaped formation disk from his sleeve, raised his hand and cast a few spells, and then it went straight into the tortoise shell.
Liang Yan waited aside, and after only half a cup of tea, he saw a red light flashing from the turtle shell, hovering in the air, and then shot into the center of Wen Yanhan's eyebrows.
"The head master agreed!"
Wen Yanhan's face lit up with joy, and she slightly cupped her hands in the direction of Liang Yan and said, "Uncle Master, please come to the sect and have a chat. You will be received as a distinguished guest."
"oh?"
Liang Yan's expression moved slightly, and he thought secretly in his heart: "Mu Jianhan agreed so simply, could he have guessed that I was the person who stole the 'Sword Introduction Stone' back then?"
Although he thought so, he had no fear in his heart. He just smiled and said, "Young lady will lead the way."
At this time, Ah Hu and Ah Long had wisely sat on the same horse, leaving the other horse to Liang Yan. The two young boys who had not yet started turned their heads to peek from time to time, their eyes full of curiosity.
As for Wen Yanhan, while leading the way on horseback, she intentionally or unintentionally asked him about his origins. However, Liang Yan was so knowledgeable now that he would not be deceived by her.
The four of them rode horses and walked along the winding path. After about half an hour, they gradually entered a dense forest in the valley.
"arrive!"
At this time, Wen Yanhan suddenly stopped his horse and stopped in front of a towering tree.
Liang Yan felt something in his heart. He looked up and saw that the giant tree had clear lines and dense leaves. The trunk was thirty feet high, but other than that, there was nothing special about it.
He had sneaked into the Qingyu Sword Sect back then and knew that the entrance to the sect was an ancient tree. However, the appearance and location of this tree were completely different from what he had remembered. It was no wonder that he had spent so many days trying not to find it.
.
Just when Liang Yan was thinking secretly, the branches and leaves of the ancient tree suddenly began to sway. After a moment, a green light shot out from it, and then the entire trunk cracked in the middle, revealing a wide canyon inside the tree.
Liang Yan looked up and saw a wooden suspension bridge crossing the two ends of the canyon. On top of the suspension bridge, there were ten figures stepping forward. In just a moment, they walked out of the ancient tree and came to him.
The person at the front was wearing a moon-white robe, with long hair hanging back, a plum blossom between his eyebrows, and his eyes were a strange gray color, which looked extremely deep.
This man, whose whole body exudes an icy aura, is the current leader of the Qingyu Sword Sect, Mu Jianhan.
Behind him, there were nine monks. Without exception, these nine people were all sword cultivators in the Juyuan Realm.
With a quick glance, Liang Yan recognized several of his acquaintances, such as Su Yue from "Shu Jian Tang", Wen Chuhua from "Su Jian Tang", Mu Shaoqing from "Mu Jian Tang", etc.
"Hey, what a big battle, it seems they want to give me a blow!"
Liang Yan thought to himself, but there was no change in his face. Instead, he smiled loudly and said:
"Hahaha! How could Liang be so virtuous? He actually troubled Sect Master Mu and the leaders of the Nine Great Sword Halls to greet him together. I'm really ashamed of myself!"
"Why should you be so modest, fellow Taoist? As the saying goes, it is not a pleasure to have friends from far away? Our country is a remote and small country, and there are no more than three monks who can enter the golden elixir realm. Your great presence has made our Qingyu Sword Sect flourish.
, naturally we must use the highest standards of etiquette to receive you." Mu Jianhan said with a smile.
"Easy to say, easy to say." Liang Yan laughed, and did not reveal their intentions. He just said lightly: "I have long heard that your sect established its sect with swordsmanship. Whenever Nanchui monks want to practice swordsmanship, the first thing that comes to mind is
It’s the Qingyu Sword Sect! Liang is not talented, but he also happens to be a Taoist with swords. He came here because he wanted to observe and learn the swordsmanship of your sect!”
As soon as he said this, the leaders of the Nine Great Sword Halls frowned slightly. Although these words were said politely, the implication was that they wanted to challenge the Qingyu Sword Sect and weigh their methods.
Unlike the leaders of the Nine Great Sword Halls, Mu Jianhan didn't look strange at all at this time. He just smiled softly and said: "The so-called visitor is a guest. This swordsmanship competition is not in a hurry. Your Excellency has come from afar, so why don't you come first?
Wouldn't it be nice to have a cup of tea at home and sit down and discuss things?"
As the leader of a sect, he has never seen any stormy scenes. After these words, he has declined the discussion, but he has not offended the other party, but he also has a hint of goodwill.
Liang Yan naturally knew what he was thinking. After pondering for a while, he smiled and said, "That's fine, Liang is disturbing me!"
"Haha, fellow Taoist, please!"
Mu Jianhan stepped aside and made a "please" gesture. Liang Yan did not hesitate, got off the horse and came to his side.
The two walked into the ancient trees and crossed the canyon along the suspension bridge, chatting and laughing all the way. However, the leaders of the nine sword halls around them were divided into two sides, surrounding them in the center.
The positions where these nine people were standing were vaguely related to the way of the sword formation. Liang Yan had a delicate mind and was proficient in the formation. Besides, he had also seen the "Qingfeng Sword Formation" back then, so he had naturally noticed it a long time ago.
If he did anything evil at this moment, these nine people would be able to form a sword formation immediately and surround him here.
As for the two brothers Wen Yanhan and Along Ahu, they were already being protected by Wen Chuhua, the leader of Sujiantang. They looked at Liang Yan with vigilance, as if he was a vicious and vicious person.
Liang Yan suddenly felt funny in his heart. He couldn't help but touch his nose and thought to himself: "Am I such a hateful person?"
However, he did not reveal anyone's actions. He just pretended not to know and continued to chat and laugh with Mu Jianhan as they walked along the suspension bridge.
Everyone passed through the canyon and soon saw a magnificent blue palace. On the door of the palace was a plaque with the three characters "Greenwood Palace" written on it.
Mu Jianhan introduced Liang Yan into the palace, and the heads of the Nine Sword Halls also filed in. Everyone took their seats, and after a while, a maid came in to serve tea.
Liang Yan picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Although the entrance was bitter, after swallowing it, there was a sweet smell lingering on the tip of his tongue. The most important thing was that there was a burning heat in his lower abdomen, making his body feel
His spiritual power was filled a little more.
"Good tea!" Liang Yan praised sincerely.
At this time, Mu Jianhan laughed and said: "This is the narcissus tea that is a specialty of our Qingyu Mountain. The narcissus tree blooms once every ten years and bears fruit once every hundred years. Without the narcissus fruit, this tea cannot be brewed."
"Hahaha, Sect Master Mu is so polite!"
Liang Yan put down the tea cup in his hand with a smile, then changed the topic and said, "It's just that Liang traveled thousands of miles to come to Qingyu Mountain not just for a cup of tea."
"It's finally here!" After hearing this, Mu Jianhan sighed secretly in his heart.
It is said that those who come are not good and those who are good will not come. He knew that this person came to the door specially and pointed out that he had to compete with swords. He must have some agenda.
It's just that he has never been able to see the depth of this person, so he thought it would be best to use this gentle method to turn enemies into friends. If that didn't work, he had another thought.
You must know that apart from swordsmanship, the Qingyu Sword Sect is most famous for its sword formation. Back then, Liang Yan disguised himself as Ding Yun and participated in the "Woodman Alley" assessment to test the proficiency of his disciples in the sword formation.
And whether the cooperation is tacit.
The "Greenwood Palace" they are currently in is extremely well-constructed and echoes the Yimu spiritual energy of the surrounding peaks. It is the most suitable location to activate the Zongzong Sword Formation "Qingfeng Nine Tribulations Formation".
The reason why Mu Jianhan brought Liang Yan here was because he had the idea of "If we can't reach an agreement, we will do it!" Seeing that he still insisted on competing with swords, he felt really angry in his heart.
However, Liang Yan seemed to be unaware of it. He still had a faint smile and said: "I have long heard that your sect is famous for his swordsmanship. All swordsmen of our generation are yearning for it. Liang is here to do it."
I just want to see what’s so surprising about this powerful Qingyu Sword Sect!”
"oh?"
At this time, Mu Jianhan also put down the tea cup in his hand, his face gradually turned cold, and he said calmly: "Exactly how do you want to draw, please tell me."
"Hahaha, Liang is also a swordsman. We all use swords to make friends, so it won't hurt the harmony. Let's do this. I will sit still in this chair today. Whether you are fighting in a wheel or together, as long as you can make Liang
If someone’s butt leaves the seat, then Liang is defeated!”
"you!"
As soon as he said these words, all the monks present were in an uproar. Whether it was Su Yue, Wen Chuhua, or other leaders of the sword hall, they all stared angrily at this moment, feeling that their sect had been greatly insulted.
No matter how well-educated Mu Jianhan was, he couldn't help but get angry at this moment, and said coldly: "Your Excellency, you have such a crazy tone. We are all sword cultivators in the Golden Core Realm, but you don't take my entire sect seriously!
"
"That's not true!"
Liang Yan chuckled and said: "Liang Mou respects Guizong's swordsmanship, but the sword has no eyes. Liang doesn't want to hurt the harmony between the two parties, so he can only decide on this competition method. I wonder if Guizong dares to challenge?"
"Why don't you dare!"
Among the nine major sword halls, Guo Huai of the "Chongjian Hall" had the most irritable temper. At this moment, he slapped the table and stood up and shouted: "Although you are a golden elixir monk, but you are so generous, don't blame us for not showing mercy.
No need for Zongzong to take action, the nine of us can handle it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the heads of the Nine Great Sword Halls looked at each other, stood up almost at the same time, and each took a position in the hall.
Liang Yan glanced sideways and suddenly laughed loudly: "Is this your sect's 'Qingfeng Nine Tribulation Formation'? With Qingfeng as the foundation and the main hall as the center, the sword turns nine tribulations and returns to the origin without limit! Good, good, indeed, it is
Well-deserved! If you ask me to leave the chair today, Liang will leave without saying a word!"
When everyone heard the first half of his sentence, he already revealed the mystery of his sword formation in just a few words, they couldn't help but feel a little shocked. But after hearing the second half of his sentence, everyone turned pale again.
"Hmph, senior has made his promise and it is hard to follow him. I hope you won't break your promise when the time comes!"
Su Yue, the leader of Shujian Hall, snorted coldly and took the lead to attack. He was seen making a seal with one hand, and a mottled rusty sword rose up from behind and headed straight for Liang Yan's position.
At the same time, the other eight leaders also took action at the same time. Eight flying swords of different shapes came from different directions. Liang Yan looked at it intently and saw that each flying sword carried the power of the surrounding green mountains, as if it were heaven and earth.
The general trend swept in from all directions, and finally fell on him alone.
"This 'Qingfeng Nine Tribulation Formation' is indeed somewhat mysterious."
Liang Yan nodded secretly, but his expression didn't change much. He just raised his right hand and moved forward slightly.
Following this instruction, there was a faint sound of thunder all around, and everyone was startled. Looking at it at the same time, they saw a purple sword energy bursting out in mid-air, majestic and majestic, like thunder, heading straight towards the seat of the Shujian Hall.
Su Yue leaves!
Su Yue, who was in the formation, couldn't help being shocked when he saw this finger pointing towards him.
This "Qingfeng Nine Tribulations Formation" is based on the number of three and three, that is, there are three people as the eyes of the formation, who are responsible for the attack; the remaining six are responsible for the defense and are responsible for supporting from the side.
In setting up the formation this time, he, Tong Dawei from Lingjian Hall, and Mu Shaoqing from Mujian Hall were the eyes of the formation. Among the three, his cultivation level was slightly weaker. Unexpectedly, the person opposite could see the clues at a glance.
