Chapter 74: I was beaten by the Demon Lord, I am proud
…
On the other side, Yao Yuangang was also secretly frightened. He never expected that something that should have been a sure thing today would have unexpected changes one after another.
Today's situation is becoming more and more complex.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Wang Anye and Ji Yue'er in the field, especially Ji Yue'er's striking red hair and snake eyes, and thought secretly.
"Thank you Ji for your help." Wang Anye cupped his hands and thanked him.
"Young Master, there is no need to be polite, this is what I should do." Ji Yue'er bowed slightly and retreated behind Wang Anye, but her eyes were still staring at Wei Dongyu with vigilance and coldness, and said calmly, "Besides, even if I don't
If you take action, the old guy's move alone will probably defeat the young master."
"snort!"
Wei Dongyu waved his sleeves, seeming a little disdainful.
He admitted that this kid suddenly appeared in the Lingxu Realm to worship him, which startled him. But to say that he could do nothing to this kid from the Purple Mansion Realm with just a casual attack was just a joke.
"An Ye, this old guy bullies others too much by bullying others with his strength! Why don't we find a way to take the opportunity to kill him?" Ji Wuchen was also extremely angry. He didn't expect that the ancestor of the dignified Wei family was so shameless.
He actually attacked a junior.
If he were still alive, how could he allow this old boy to bully his disciples like this?!
"Master, please calm down first. After all, this is the Ji family. If the commotion is too big, it will not be good to involve the Ji family in the whirlpool." Wang Anye comforted Master Ji Wuchen.
Immediately, he looked at Wei Dongyu with cold eyes and said: "True Lord Liehuo can be regarded as a famous senior in the Immortal Dynasty. Aren't you going to say a few words about the current situation?"
"What did you say?" Wei Dongyu glanced at Ji Yue'er with a slight fear, and then sneered, "You don't respect your elders, I am just here to teach you a lesson on behalf of your elders, so that you understand what it means to be respectful and orderly.
.What's the matter, do you still want to pressure Lord Benzhen to apologize with the help of a Lingxu worshiper who appeared out of nowhere?"
After all, Jingan Yipin Wei family is a powerful family with two Lingxu bosses, and their personal connections are deeply rooted in the Immortal Dynasty. Even if Wang Anye has some background, so what?
The people on the left and right are just people from the Dongqian Kingdom. How can they be so capable?
Asking him, the first ancestor of the first-class Wei family, to bow his head and apologize, haha, that is a pure joke!
"In that case, the relationship between your Jing'an Wei family and our Dongqian Changning Wang family has been forged today." Wang Anye naturally said without flinching, and by the way, he bowed his hand to Yao Yuangang and said, "Senior Yao also said in this matter
If there is a conflict between our Wang family and the Wei family, we will have to trouble Senior Yao to be a witness."
Yao Yuangang's expression was also a little complicated.
He thought about it, but he couldn't figure out where the Wang family from Dongqian Changning came from.
He did know that there was a Wang family in Guilong City, a branch of the Hanyue Wang family, but that was the Dongqian Wang family, and it was obviously not the same family as the Changning Wang family.
Moreover, even the Wang family of Dongqian cannot afford the worship of Lingxu realm, right?
However, since the other party can be enshrined in the Lingxu Realm and has such a tough tone, the Wang family of Changning may have a complicated background. I dare not say that he will definitely teach the Wei family to suffer, but it may also cause a storm.
Immediately, Yao Yuangang said with a serious face: "We in the Chaoyang Palace will not participate in the dispute between your family and the Wei family. But if the matter gets serious and I am asked to testify, no matter who asks, I will never add fuel to the fire or be jealous of what happened today.
We will not hide the facts.”
"Thank you, Senior Yao, for being fair and objective." Wang Anye saluted gracefully again, then glanced at Wei Dongyu indifferently and said nothing more.
Wang Anye is a direct descendant of the Wang family. No matter where he goes, his words and deeds represent the Changning Wang family.
Wei Dongyu "attacked" the junior Wang Anye regardless of his identity. Even if Wang Anye has a good temper, he will never be a coward.
As for how to deal with the Wei family after this relationship is established, that is a story for another day.
"Okay!" Wei Dongyu narrowed his eyes slightly and responded with a sneer, "Jun Zhenjun is waiting for your Wang family to make a move. I also want to see how much your so-called Wang family from Changning weighs.
"
For a moment, the scene was slightly silent.
Ji Yueer's golden snake eyes slightly narrowed, she scanned the crowd, and said calmly: "We will talk about the future later, but today regarding the fight for the Sword Formation Double Jue Book, since our young master happened to be at the scene, he naturally wanted to get involved.
.Who is in favor and who is against?"
Yes, everyone disagrees. Who would be willing to have another contender come out?
But is it useful to object? There is a worshiper of Lingxu Realm standing behind him.
"Hahaha, fellow Daoist Ji, please don't tell me a joke." Yao Yuangang was the first to laugh, "I said before that the Sword Formation Double Secret Book is a common treasure of the human race, and those who are destined to take it will use it. Since Mr. An Ye happens to meet him, if
If you meet the bloodline qualifications, you can naturally give it a try."
"However, we should act quickly. If the news leaks out and attracts more competitors, we will be in trouble."
Wei Dongyu wanted to object.
But with three Lingxu realms present, what's the point of opposing them alone? As Yao Yuangang said, once they start to make a fuss, there will be big trouble.
"Let's go." Wei Dongyu said with a dark face, "Now."
Poor Chaoyang third-grade Ji family had no say in this matter at all, so she had to send Ji Yanxiu to lead everyone to the book trial site.
It is a mountain range that is relatively rare in the Chaoyang Plain. The mountain is not high, but it is undulating. The mountain is full of green, and the shadows are shrouded in pieces of mist.
The flying chariot hovered in the air for a while, then began to slowly fall, and finally landed in a Ji's villa that had been in disrepair for a long time.
Ji Yanxiu explained: "This barren mountain top is the ancestral land of my Ji family. Our ancestor Wuchen set up many formations here, including fog formations, blindfold formations, etc., and our Ji family has a year-round formation.
An elder and a team of family members will be stationed here to prevent irrelevant people from entering the treasure land."
Building the formation is very expensive, and maintaining the formation over the years is also very expensive. It can be said that since Ji Wuchen left, in the past seven or eight thousand years, Ji's investment in the maintenance of the formation has been more expensive than building the formation in the first place.
There are far more than ten times more resources.
The continuous investment in these protective formations without getting any returns may have exacerbated Ji's decline.
Take a short rest in Ji's Villa.
The group of people passed through numerous formations and arrived at a hidden canyon.
In the deepest part of the canyon, there is a sword tomb.
It was a huge stone building that was shrouded in restrictions and looked like an altar.
Long chains surround the pale stone pillars, and the thick stone steps extend from the front to a very high place. Through the hazy mist, you can still see the mottled ancient sword on the stone steps above.
Those are all left behind by our predecessors.
Perhaps it has been around for too long, or it may have been poorly maintained. There are traces of rust on the chains that wrap around the stone pillars. Even the ancient swords seem to have lost their spirituality and are completely silent.
But even so, the awe-inspiring sword intent that permeates the entire building still makes people dare not underestimate this place.
"Yan Xiu, where is the Sword Formation Book?" Wei Qingyun glanced with his mind, but found no trace of the book.
"Master Qi, look here."
Ji Yanxiu flew to the steps of the Sword Tomb and put up a fallen sign again.
This is a sign made of spiritual wood, which can withstand wind and rain and remain immortal for many years.
There are crooked words composed of sword marks on the sign: "Self-help trial, don't bother stupid birds, come back to us after passing the second trial. The rules of the first trial are as follows..."
"Isn't this too casual?"
Wei Qingyun couldn't believe his eyes. Where in the world could there be such a casual test of the book?
"Master Qi." Ji Yanxiu was quite embarrassed and a little helpless when he mentioned this matter, "Actually, the master of the weapon spirit of the Sword Formation Book will still show up to preside over the assessment at the beginning, but... ahem, every member of our Ji family will
A generation of young people would come and give it a try, but it annoyed Lord Qi Ling so much that he simply stopped showing up, and even the trial was changed to a self-help trial."
"Whether he helps himself or not?" Taian, who was holding an ancient sword in his arms and dressed in snow-white clothes, didn't care much about these details and said directly, "Hurry up and try, I can't wait to fight with my destiny."
Baodian recognized me."
This person never said a word from the beginning to the end, but he was so explosive when he opened his mouth.
Even Wang Anye couldn't help but look at him sideways.
"Mr. An Ye, Tai'an is a famous swordsman in our Chaoyang Prefecture. He has shown extremely high knowledge of swordsmanship since he was a child." Ji Qianqian said to Wang Anye, "Don't look at him being stupid and straight when he speaks and does things. He always seems to be straight.
He looks incompatible with his surroundings, but his swordsmanship is extremely high, and I am afraid he is an opponent you cannot ignore."
"Thank you, Miss Ji, for reminding me." Wang Anye replied, "But, Miss Qianqian, doesn't she have confidence in herself?"
"I have no confidence." Ji Qianqian gave a helpless smile, "In terms of bloodline qualifications, I am just a genius. In terms of swordsmanship and formation knowledge, I can't compare to them. As far as I know, Wei Qingyun and Yu Tai'an
They are all famous geniuses, and their bloodline qualifications have reached the second level of the Great Prodigy! The reason why I roped in Mr. An Ye is because I am not willing to let the book fall into their hands."
To be honest, when she first spoke, she was just unwilling to give in. She held on to a vague hope that Mr. An Ye might be able to compete with them.
But even she herself never thought that Mr. Anye's identity was so extraordinary, and that he had Lingxu Realm around him to protect him, so she placed more hopes on him for a while.
While the two were talking, Ji Yanxiu had already helped open the first level of the "self-service" trial.
Right next to the wooden sign, there was an ancient and obsolete weapon-refining creation. As he operated, the weapon-refining creation made a strange sound, and then spit out several paper test papers.
"Young masters, the first test is relatively simple. It tests the basic theories of formations and swordsmanship." Ji Yanxiu, who had been prepared for a long time, touched the storage ring and several sets of tables and chairs appeared on the ground. "Come on, come on."
Come on, let’s do the questions.”
Too casual!
The well-informed Yu Tai'an and Wei Qingyun were both stunned.
Each treasure book has very strict requirements for its inheritors, and the assessment is usually very solemn.
For example, in each state's holy land, there will be a battle between saints and saints, in the country there will be a battle between emperors and sons, between emperors and daughters, and in the royal palace there will also be a battle between sons.
How could it be so casual?
Even Wei Qingyun, who had heard about the first two levels from Ji Yanxiu beforehand, did not expect that it would be such a test. After all, because Ji Yanxiu felt embarrassed, he only mentioned the scope and difficulty of the test, but did not mention the specific details of the process.
detail.
But the simpler it is, the less likely anyone will dare to be careless or cheat. Maybe the Book of Artifact Spirit is watching from the dark, not only testing their basic knowledge, but also testing their character?
Therefore, the four people referred were extremely honest and completed the first level of the assessment in a down-to-earth manner.
After the exam, there was no marking teacher, so the exam paper had to be put back into the weapon-refining creation. In a short while, the results of the four people came out. Although the results were different, they all passed the first exam successfully.
One level assessment.
The difficulty of this first level is not high because these are old questions from seven or eight thousand years ago. As the times develop and basic education is constantly innovating, the difficulty will only become more and more difficult. Nowadays, as long as one has long-term practice of swordsmanship and
Most of the formation practitioners should be able to pass.
After the first level ended, the sword intent hanging over the sword tomb was obviously weakened.
Ji Yanxiu led the four people up the steps.
These steps are all made of huge rocks, each step is nearly ten feet high, full of a sense of vicissitudes carved by the years.
If ordinary people were here, it would be difficult to climb up, but those present were all Xuanwu monks, and even the weakest Ji Qianqian was already at the late stage of the Heavenly Realm, so naturally this step would not pose any problem to them.
In a flash, several people flew to the top of the altar.
Among the countless clumsy ancient swords, a huge stone tablet slowly rises.
That is a sword tablet.
The body of the pale green rectangular monument is densely covered with deep or shallow sword marks. There are more than a dozen sword marks, and each sword mark exudes the aura of sword intent.
Among them, the most conspicuous sword mark cuts diagonally across the sword stele, with a depth of nearly half a foot and a length of nearly one foot, almost penetrating the entire stele.
The sky-high sword intent emanates from it, vast and majestic, as if the Milky Way is hanging upside down, and like the vast sea rushing forward, as powerful as a prison, and as terrifying as the bones.
Even just standing in front of this sword monument, several people felt that their legs were a little weak, and they had the urge to worship.
For a moment, the four people except Ji Yanxiu couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Everyone present is a sword cultivator, and they know the sword monument best.
The sword stele itself is not a particularly rare thing. After all, it is actually a type of stone stele, but its material is very special. After processing, the sword intention can be retained in it for a very long time. Generally, it is
The elders use it to imprint their own sword intentions for the younger generation to understand.
The sword monument can be as big as a mountain peak, or as small as a palm, depending on what it is used for.
But even though they have seen it and even studied many sword monuments, they have never seen such a terrifying sword energy.
"Hiss! Such a terrifying sword intent... Why do I feel that even the sword monument in our Zixu Holy Land doesn't seem to be like this..." Ji Qianqian murmured to herself, her eyes flickering in confusion.
An astonishing guess appeared in her mind unconsciously, but she still couldn't believe it.
After a long while, the four of them took their attention away from the sword monument.
Next to the sword monument, a spiritual wood sign was also erected, with the rules of the sword monument trial written on it. This level is still a self-help trial.
"An Ye, this sword stele is a relic inherited from our sword formation lineage. Grandmaster Chen Jianming got this sword stele from the Shenwu Dynasty by chance, and he was fascinated by the sword mark at that time. Zu
Master originally practiced formations, but since then he has been obsessed with swordsmanship, and finally realized his own swordsmanship many years later, combined formations with swordsmanship, and created our sword formation lineage."
"This sword monument has since been called the 'Sword Enlightenment Monument'."
"Those who can leave sword marks on the sword monument are all descendants or quasi- descendants of our sword formation lineage. Have you seen the five-inch deep sword marks on it?" Ji Wuchen said with emotion.
said.
"Is that what you left behind, Master?" Wang Anye's eyes lit up and he said in admiration, "You are truly worthy of being Master. The sword mark you left is quite impressive."
"Uh...ahem~ That was left by Master Jianming." Ji Wuchen coughed awkwardly, "If I had such swordsmanship, I might not have perished back then, and maybe I could have escaped from that perverted guy's hands.
Escape."
Ji Wuchen felt very upset when he thought about that incident: "When I went to the Demon Dynasty to seek revenge on Chao Qianbo, my master made sufficient preparations. In order to find an opportunity, I even lurked in the Demon Dynasty for a long time in disguise and took the opportunity to stay.
I used a lot of backup tactics. After killing him, I relied on the backup tactics left behind to avoid the pursuit of the two Lingxu realm bosses of the Chao family. But I never thought that just when I was almost there, I could
When I left the Demon Dynasty, I was intercepted by a junior from the Chao family whose cultivation was similar to mine."
"The junior of the Chao family is extremely powerful. His master was beaten to the point where he was almost unable to fight back. In the end, he had to use a forbidden method with serious consequences. He barely escaped, but he still couldn't withstand the backlash that followed.
.Hey~"
"Master." Wang Anye rarely heard Ji Wuchen talk about that incident. Seeing that he was in a low mood, he couldn't help but comfort him, "It's been seven or eight thousand years since this happened. That junior Chao family must have died long ago."
"That's right, I remember that the junior Chao family is called 'Chao Qiancuo'. He looks like a human being, but he speaks very badly. If I can't beat him, I have to... It's a pity, even if he is in the Lingxu realm
A strong man's lifespan is only four thousand years, how can he live to this day?" Ji Wuchen said angrily, "Huh~ It's a shame that I accepted my disciples too late, otherwise my family Anye would definitely be able to avenge me."
"Wait? Chao Qiancuo?" An idea flashed in Wang Anye's mind, and his brows suddenly knitted together, "Last time our secret agent from the Demon Dynasty sent back a message, I also browsed it, and the name sounded so familiar."
"Impossible. If Chao Qiancuo is still alive, he should be eight or nine thousand years old now, right? Who can live..." Ji Wuchen said halfway when he suddenly stopped.
Because he thought of a certain possibility.
"Uh... Master, I also remembered it. The Demon Lord of the Demon Dynasty True Demon Palace seems to have this name." Wang Anye's expression was subtle. For a moment, he didn't know whether to be surprised or helpless, "I didn't expect Master
It’s really…”
The master's fall could actually be related to people who are still alive. This was something he had never expected before.
"No wonder, no wonder...I thought at the time that he was a bit too powerful. After all, after inheriting the Sword Formation Book, I have the qualifications to be a peerless genius. There is no reason for me to be suppressed and beaten at the same level." Ji Wuchen was stunned for a moment, but it turned out to be very different.
But instead of being angry, he felt a little relieved, "I have been feeling aggrieved over the years. I felt that my death was a bit unjust. Now it seems that it is not unjust. I was beaten to death by the Demon Lord after all."
This tone is actually quite proud. It really has the tone of "I was beaten by the demon king and I am proud".
