"Oh, you have guessed which ancestor of the sect is being tested on this level of the ancestral tower?" Zhang Hen asked with some suspicion after hearing Gu Yi's words.
Lin Che's eyes showed curiosity. She cupped her fists slightly at Gu Yi and asked for advice: "Since senior brother Gu has already made some guesses, I hope you can give me some advice."
Since this layer of the ancestral tower space is the dojo occupied by an ancestor in the sect after his death.
So understanding the true identity of this ancestor may be of great help to them in passing this test.
Gu Yi glanced at Lin Che and did not hide anything. He smiled and said: "Although I have not been in the sect for a long time, I accidentally read about the sect in a book in the Sutra Pavilion.
The life biography of a senior..."
"According to the records in the classics, that senior was named Zhenren Xueyang. He was different from those highly respected seniors in the sect's history. It was rumored that this person was difficult to distinguish between good and evil. He even used killings to prove his swordsmanship. In the Southern Territory of that era, regardless of the
Whether it's the right way or the evil way, countless monks have died in his hands..."
"How can it be?"
Hearing this, Lin Che showed a puzzled look and said: "The sword sect in the world has always regarded itself as righteous. If this Master Xueyang is really a murderous person, he has obviously violated the purpose of the sect. How can the sword sect let him go?"
No matter?"m
Gu Yi explained: "Junior Brother Lin doesn't know that Master Xueyang was indeed a vicious man in his early years, but at that time, he had not yet joined the Sword Sect."
"Oh, so this means that Master Xueyang joined the Sword Sect later?" Lin Che said.
Gu Yi nodded and said: "At that time, Master Xueyang caused too many murders in the Southern Territory because of his practice of killing swordsmanship. Whether it was good or evil, there were many forces that had hatred towards him and kept sending out
Strong men encircled and suppressed them...but because Zhenren Xueyang was so powerful, all those who pursued him were eventually killed by his sword."
"This turmoil has finally attracted the attention of the sword sects in the world."
"It is worth mentioning that although the Tianxia Sword Sect at that time was passed down for several generations and was no longer at its peak, it was still rich enough to be called the leader of the righteous path... and Zhang Tianxing, who was the leader of the Sword Sect at that time,
He has a great reputation in the Southern Territory and is highly respected."
"Because of this, many righteous people have gathered in Jianzong, hoping to invite Headmaster Zhang to come out and eradicate this great scourge for the martial arts world... After learning about these things, Headmaster Zhang also realized that this
The source of the turmoil, I decided to go down the mountain in person to meet with the Master Xueyang."
"One month later, the two powerful men finally met in a wild mountain range, and a shocking battle inevitably broke out..."
Hearing this, Lin Che realized something, "Is it because of this battle that Master Xueyang was defeated at the hands of Master Zhang Tianxing, so he abandoned evil and turned to good, and became a member of the Tianxia Sword Sect?"
Gu Yi shook his head, "No, in that battle, Headmaster Zhang Tianxing died under the sword of Master Xueyang."
"What?"
Lin Che showed an expression of disbelief, "How is this possible? Since it was Headmaster Zhang Tianxing who lost, then..."
Gu Yi continued: "It cannot be said that Headmaster Zhang was defeated, or to be precise, Headmaster Zhang was not defeated by his swordsmanship, but by his own benevolence."
"When the two fought, Zhang Zhang was already over 800 years old, while Master Xueyang was only 500 years old. Even with such a big age difference, the two were able to fight evenly. After three days and nights, they still remained the same.
It's hard to tell the winner... This made Headmaster Zhang realize that Zhenren Xueyang is definitely a swordsmanship wizard that is rare to see in a thousand years. If he can be led into the right path, he will definitely be able to reach unimaginable heights in the way of swordsmanship."
"It was precisely because of the cherishment of talents that made Master Zhang change his mind. He couldn't bear to kill such a swordsman with his own hands. It would be best to influence him."
"But it's a pity that at that time, the strength of Zhenren Xueyang had already caught up with the leader of the Sword Sect, and the swordsmanship between the two was already almost the same... After such a fierce battle, I wanted to finally decide a winner.
I had to gather my lifelong insights and unleash my most powerful sword."
"Since it is a duel between the strongest swords, it means that both sides will go all out and one of them will fall in the end."
"But what no one expected was that, in a duel with swords and already having the upper hand, Headmaster Zhang forcibly withdrew his sword moves and did not use the sword that had already formed a sure-killing force.
"
"Master Xueyang's control over the sword is obviously slightly inferior. At this time, it is already too late to withdraw his sword power."
"When that sword pierced Zhang Zhang's heart, Master Xueyang finally realized something. He understood that he had lost this battle. The other party spared his hand when he could kill him, but he repaid kindness with hatred and killed him.
He was killed with one sword blow."
Hearing this, Lin Che had a look of sigh on her face and said, "This Headmaster Zhang is really a benevolent and righteous man. It's a pity..."
She could still be merciful in the face of a powerful enemy, but at least Lin Che thought she couldn't do this.
In Lin Che's opinion, when two powerful sword cultivators meet, only by going all out can the sword cultivators show the greatest respect for each other.
Of course, although Headmaster Zhang Tianxing's behavior was different from Lin Che's inner thoughts, it did not hinder Lin Che's inner admiration.
At least Headmaster Zhang's magnanimity is really impressive.
Gu Yi continued: "Later, Master Xueyang knew that he had made a big mistake. He felt very regretful in his heart, so he took the body of Master Zhang to the Tianxia Sword Sect, preparing to bear the burden of sin and plead guilty. If he could die among the Sword Sect monks,
Hand, it can be considered as a trade-off with life."
"When the monks of the Tianxia Sword Sect saw the body of their leader, their hearts were naturally filled with hatred. However, after high-level discussions, they did not kill Master Xueyang in the end."
"From the perspective of the sect, since the headmaster sacrificed his life for righteousness, the purpose was to influence Master Xueyang to walk on the right path. If they killed Master Xueyang, wouldn't they have failed the headmaster's hard work? The headmaster's
Aren’t lives lost in vain?”
"After experiencing this incident, Master Xueyang finally realized the truth and chose to live in seclusion in the Tianxia Sword Sect. He will never walk in the world again until the end of his life."
"It is worth mentioning that Master Xueyang lived to be more than two thousand years old. After living in seclusion in the Sword Sect, he never killed anyone... His swordsmanship talent is indeed quite remarkable. It is rumored that he surpassed his peak not long after he lived in seclusion.
At the end of his life, his knowledge of swordsmanship reached an advanced level, and there were even rumors that he might have touched the threshold of the realm of the Sword Emperor."
