On the northwest border of the Daxia Empire, the endless mountains lie like giant pythons between the sky and the earth.
Deep in the mountains, a peak suddenly rises from the ground and pierces the sky like a sharp sword. It is so majestic and steep that it can dominate the other peaks.
This mountain peak is the seat of Xuanjian Sect, one of the three major sects of the Daxia Empire.
Therefore, the peak is also called Xuanjian Peak by the world.
On Xuanjian Peak, in a courtyard with flying springs and weeping willows, a young man who looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old was sitting at a stone table.
The stone table is not big, but it can hold several empty wine bottles.
The young man also had a wine pot in his hand. He raised his head slightly and took a sip of strong wine into his throat: "It is worthy of being 'one pot drunk for a thousand years'. It is worthy of being the most famous strong wine in the Great Xia Empire!"
Approvingly, there was a hint of drunkenness on the young man's handsome face.
He was very satisfied with the liquor on the table. It was indeed the strongest liquor in the empire, and it was indeed the best liquor known as "a pot of liquor that will drunk you for a thousand years".
In this night alone, he had already drank seven pots of "one pot of drunkenness for a thousand years"!
This is enough to shock the world: if you are not a monastic and do not use spiritual power to resist, who can drink so much "a pot of drunkenness for a thousand years" in one go?
The answer is: no one!
Beside him, a girl who looked to be about the same age as him stamped her feet at this moment, with undisguised anger on her beautiful face that had a hint of disaster.
"Nie Heng, are you going to drink it like this?"
Looking at the boy, the girl's eyes were full of disappointment: "Have you forgotten who you are?"
Hearing this, the young man named Nie Heng still had an indifferent smile, and a flash of sword-like luster flashed in his eyes that seemed to be a little drunk.
"I know who I am!"
Of course he knew that his name was Nie Heng and he was the young master of the Xuanjian Sect!
And he also remembered him in his previous life, also named Nie Heng!
In his previous life, he had mastered swordsmanship all his life, from an unknown cultivator to the highest peak of martial arts!
Along the way, he slaughtered gods and saints with one sword and one person, setting off a bloody storm on many continents that could last for eternity!
Also along the way, he also lost too much...
When he finally stood proudly on the vast sea of stars, he suddenly realized that there were no classmates around him, no close friends and relatives who had lived and died together, and no more the beauty whom he had vowed to work with for the rest of his life...
At that time, he was left with endless loneliness, and even though he was sitting on endless glory, his heart was as cold as gray!
This may also be one of the fates of embarking on the path of swordsmanship: a strong swordsman is just like a sword. The stronger he is, the more lonely he becomes!
It wasn't until he met a boy who looked very much like himself when he was young that everything took a turn for the worse.
He accepted the young man as his disciple, taught him endless magical powers, taught him how to refine elixirs, inscribe spells, and arrange formations...
Then he watched the boy continue to grow, and his cultivation strength was almost close to that of his own at that time.
then……
"Good disciple, I wonder how you are doing now!"
He raised his head and drank another swig of strong wine. There was a hint of coldness in Nie Heng's faint smile: "The sword you gave me behind your back will be repaid ten thousand times to my master..."
This was the end of his previous life: his only disciple, the only disciple he regarded as his closest relative, actually secretly passed on the magical powers and techniques he taught him to Nie Heng's former enemies.
When the martial arts and magical powers are spread, many people will naturally spend a long time to find ways to crack these magical powers...
Then in the final battle where countless enemies came to seek revenge, this disciple even got up close and gave Nie Heng a fatal blow from behind.
At that time, he thought that he would definitely die!
Unexpectedly, it was just a trance, and Nie Heng was reborn!
A fourteen-year-old boy who was reborn as the young master of the Xuanjian Sect of the Great Xia Empire—also named Nie Heng!
…
There was wind in the courtyard, and the bamboo leaves were spinning slowly and falling with the wind.
"Nie Heng, I'm talking to you. What's wrong with you?"
The girl frowned slightly, with obvious heartache in her eyes: "What 'good disciple', you...how are you? Your injuries..."
Hearing this, Nie Heng raised his head this time and looked at the girl beside him with a smile.
The girl's name is Baili Yi. She is a direct descendant of the Baili Family, one of the three major families of Xuanjian Sect, and is also a genius disciple cultivated by the family.
She is not very old yet, but she is pretty and lovely. If you want to describe her, she is like a lotus flower waiting to bloom!
Moreover, there is a very unusual relationship between this girl and the original Nie Heng - they have a marriage contract, a marriage contract made by their parents.
"Xiaoyi, I'm fine!"
When Nie Heng was just reborn, he got some residual souls in this body, so he had the memories of the original young sect master.
He remembered that it was an assassination a few months ago that took the life of the young sect leader.
It was precisely for this reason that he was reborn as the current young master Nie Heng, and had a marriage certificate with Baili Yi.
"Are you really okay?"
Baili Yi lowered his head, but did not look directly at Nie Heng.
She clasped her hands together and put them in front of her slightly uneasily: "After half a year, if the sect leader has not come back! The Xiang family will take action! Their purpose is to help the disciples of the Xiang family become the acting sect leader! At that time...
…”
The Xiang family?
Nie Heng knew that the Xiang family was also one of the three major families of the Xuanjian Sect. Not to mention the many disciples of their own family or those belonging to their family in the Xuanjian Sect, among the powerful men in their family, there were three who were among the elders in the Xuanjian Sect.
Bit.
As if hesitating, Baili Yi continued: "Your Nie family is in a very bad situation now! And our Baili family... it seems that someone has been secretly bribed by the Xiang family!"
I see……
Nie Heng's smile became a little softer: In addition to visiting him, this girl also came to deliver information!
Thinking again that he actually had such an engagement after his rebirth, Nie Heng secretly smiled in his heart and asked, "What about your father? Will he support the Xiang family?"
"My father..."
As he answered, Baili Yi fell silent.
She knew that her father, as the patriarch of the family, would definitely consider many things for the benefit and future of the family.
Therefore, it is very likely that her father will have to make a choice that she is very unwilling to see in the near future!
They would even unilaterally annul the engagement between Baili Yi and Nie Heng as a last resort.
Thinking of all this, Baili Yizhu bit her lips tightly, with a look of helplessness in her eyes.
Seeing this, Nie Heng continued to smile and asked: "Xiaoyi, what about you?"
"I……"
Suddenly raising his head, Baili Yi only thought about it for a moment, and then said seriously: "As long as you are still the same brother Nie Heng as before, I, Baili Yi, will not change my mind!"
interesting……
Shaking the already empty wine bottle, Nie Heng asked: "What are your thoughts? What are your thoughts?"
"you……"
Although he was young, his face that already had a bit of a charming look was filled with anger again. Baili Yi turned around fiercely and walked quickly towards the exit of the other courtyard.
But just when she reached the door, she stopped and turned back.
Eyes like stars, cheeks crimson...
"In this life, if your Nie family dares to divorce me, I will kill you with my own hands!"
"If my Baili family forces me to terminate our engagement with you in this life, I will definitely refuse with death... I will wait for you in the next life!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned her head and her delicate body floated away with a quick step.
…
"Nie Heng, Nie Heng, your luck seems to be good, but it seems that it is a pity that you died..."
With a faint smile still on his face, Nie Heng thought of himself and the young sect leader who died.
But just for a moment, the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a look as cold as a sword: "In this life, I will protect the Nie family for you and protect everything you value!"
…
"Report to...young sect master, Elder Chihu of the Xiang family has come to our Xuanjian Pavilion to cause trouble!"
The next moment, an anxious voice suddenly came: "They... also injured a disciple of my Nie family!"
