Chapter 2271: Sword City Farce, Keeping a Low Profile (1/2)

It was late at night, and the sky was dotted with stars.

The Jijian Immortal City, shrouded in the night, was as prosperous and lively as ever. The ubiquitous ancient sword energy did not affect the enthusiasm of the monks in the city. The streets were all brightly lit, and there was an endless stream of foreign monks.

Unlike other schools, although most sword cultivators were aloof by nature, they also liked to be accompanied by fine wine. Therefore, the buildings in the city were filled with people who came to get drunk. There were many people who talked a lot during the period, and some even drew their swords on the spot when they disagreed with each other and agreed to go to the city’s martial arts arena to settle their grievances. Whenever this happened, many monks would watch, but no city guards intervened.

This is because Jijian Xiancheng is very different from other Xianchengs. As the sword cultivators are too aggressive, sword fights often happen in the streets. Therefore, many years ago, Ximen simply modified the rules and set up fighting arenas in various places in the city for cultivators from all walks of life to settle personal grievances. As long as the people on the stage sign a life and death agreement, it will be fine.

So every night when Jijian Xiancheng is the most prosperous, it is also the most intense moment of the duel in the fighting arenas. The hearty fighting scene has attracted many cultivators to stop and watch, such as Qin Tian.

At this moment, he had just arrived in the Xiancheng not long ago, and he had changed his appearance again, turning into a white-bearded old Taoist with white hair and beard, fluttering sleeves, carrying a long sword, holding a whisk, and walking with a dragon-like and tiger-like step. That appearance can be regarded as a fairy-like style.

For the sake of caution, he did not hide his true cultivation, but only carefully concealed his own aura. In addition, the blood resentment power that was contaminated had long been eliminated by the "Shangqing Jingshi Mantra", and there was no need to worry about being tracked by the secret technique.

But for some reason, he did not rush to run away, but strolled leisurely in the city. Occasionally, he would buy something he liked. Finally, he went directly to a busy wine shop, ordered a few pots of high-quality spiritual wine, and began to drink and taste it carefully. His style was no different from that of ordinary cultivators, and he was the kind that was inconspicuous in the crowd.

Obviously, in order to verify the effect of this arrangement, he was waiting for a good show to be staged.

It should be noted that the most dangerous place is often the safest. I am afraid that no one would have thought that the real culprit behind such a bloody case would dare to appear in Jijian Xiancheng?

Sure enough, in the middle of the night, a monstrous aura of pressure suddenly spread from the teleportation hall, and a black-robed figure ignored the forbidden air formation and flew directly into the sky and flew away.

You don't need to look to know that it must be the Black Dragon Ancestor.

With the appearance of the powerful person in the fusion stage, it immediately caused a commotion in the city. Many cultivators were talking about it and secretly guessing the identity of the person. Even the city lord's mansion was alarmed.

But before Ximen could react, the escape light had already gone away quickly. It was obvious that the Black Dragon Ancestor had tracked the location of the fall of his precious grandson through his unique secret technique and was rushing to the scene to investigate.

Seeing this scene, Qin Tian was calm and continued to taste the wine and food leisurely, because everything was going according to his plan. If nothing unexpected happened, there would be a good show later.

.................

As the day approached, the light returned quickly, but the face of the Black Dragon Ancestor was extremely gloomy. He came directly to the sky above the Immortal City without any courtesy, and the overwhelming pressure came down, almost covering the entire Immortal City.

In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color, and the wind and clouds surged!

Caught off guard, facing the terrible pressure of the realm, the cultivators of the Refining Void Stage could still barely resist, but the minor cultivators of the Transformation and Nascent Soul Stages were all suppressed and could not raise their heads, and some even collapsed to the ground with blood spurting from their faces.

As for the juniors below the Nascent Soul Stage, they fell into coma in large numbers, and many people were directly seriously injured, and even became idiots and died.

For a while, the city was in chaos, with all kinds of screams and scolding mixed together, and the scene could only be described as chaos.

As the saying goes, when the strong are angry, all living things will be destroyed!

This is not an exaggeration!

With his own strength alone, he could suppress thousands of cultivators and make them unable to raise their heads. At this moment, the might of the fusion stage ancestor was undoubtedly revealed!

Faced with this spectacular scene, Qin Tian couldn't help but sigh inwardly, and then he lay on the ground without saying a word, and began to perform his unique skills, and waited for the show to begin!

Sure enough, not long after lying down, a powerful divine sense quickly descended, carefully scanning every cultivator inside and outside the fairy city. It was obvious that the Black Dragon Ancestor was investigating something.

But in the end, he found nothing.

So he could no longer suppress his anger, and he simply opened his throat and roared to the sky, and his furious voice resounded through the sky:

"You are so good, Ximen family, you keep saying that you want to form an alliance with me, but you secretly attacked my grandson. If you don't give an explanation today, I, Gu, will never let you Ximen family go.........!"

As the voice spread, coupled with the continuous pressure, the originally chaotic Immortal City quickly fell into a dead silence. Faced with such an unexpected disaster, all the cultivators in the city looked at each other, obviously not knowing what happened at all, but due to the power of the powerful people in the fusion stage, no one dared to stand up and accuse, and they could only grit their teeth and support themselves.

Such a big commotion naturally attracted the attention of the Ximen family. For example, in a courtyard somewhere in the City Lord's Mansion, Ximen Xue, who was wearing a white robe, could not help but frown.

"How could this old guy suddenly kill you? Why don't you go into such a big fight over two mere lackeys of the Black Dragon Guard? Could it be that something happened to Gu Yihan...?"

While muttering to himself, an ominous premonition suddenly arose in Ximen Xue's heart. When he thought of the mysterious disappearance of the peerless monster, he suddenly smelled a hint of conspiracy, and his face became unusually gloomy.

But since the Four Great Swordsmen did take action and beat the bodies of the two Black Dragon Guard commanders to pieces, and they got the instruction from Ximen Xue, so before seeing the situation clearly, the Young Master Ximen could only take it for granted. remain silent.

After all, no matter how powerful the Jade Faced Sword Immortal is, he would not dare to face the wrath of a strong man in the Fusion Stage alone. Moreover, if the sky falls and a tall man is still there to hold it up, he, Ximen, is by no means afraid of trouble!

Sure enough, at this critical moment, a monstrous force erupted from the deep area of ​​the city lord's palace again, directly impacting the coercion that shrouded the fairy city completely, and then a sword light shot up into the sky, turning into A middle-aged man in red and brocade robes stands in the air.

Let's look at this man who is nine feet tall, has an imposing manner, has a Chinese character face that is calm and intimidating, and has an evil spirit lingering between his eyebrows. He also has a three-foot green peak on his back. Just standing there can make him... The surroundings were calm, and even the raging sword energy in the sky fell silent.

Judging from the aura, this person's cultivation has actually reached the early stage of integration, and he is still a pure sword cultivator. His strength is probably not weaker than that of the Black Dragon Ancestor.

And with the appearance of the middle-aged man in brocade robes, many voices of discussion suddenly rang out from all over the city, many of which were filled with exclamations:

"Oh my God, look, is that the legendary swordsman in red, Ximen Ye? It is said that this man is extremely talented. He was the youngest fusion-stage elder of the Ximen family, but he has lived in seclusion for many years and has never appeared. I never thought that I would be lucky enough to see it with my own eyes today. !”

"What~? Red Sword Immortal? I heard that there are four supreme elders in the Ximen family, and senior Ximen Ye has the greatest potential. It is even said that he has Mahayana qualifications, but I don't know if it is true or not?"

"Hey~! Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is said that the red-clothed sword fairy Qingfeng will see blood when he unsheathes. I am afraid there will be a good show today! But I didn't expect that the city lord did not come forward, but let the red-clothed sword fairy take action. It seems that Ximen The senior management of the family was also very angry!”

"Hehe~! You don't understand this. According to the inside information I know, although the Ximen clan has four great elders, the first elder has been in seclusion all year round and does not care about worldly affairs. The second elder is traveling out and about, and the third elder is... The four elders, the red-clothed Sword Immortal, are the ones who guard the Immortal City and have the most leisure time. Now it’s rare to encounter someone who dares to come and stir up trouble, so naturally they have to go out and stretch their muscles! "

"I see, this old guy dares to come to Ji Sword Fairy City to cause trouble. It seems he is destined to be kicked out of the iron!"

.....................

At the same time, when the city was in an uproar, the red-clothed swordsman Ximen Ye who arrived at the scene looked at the Black Dragon Ancestor with sharp eyes, and then shouted coldly and unceremoniously:

"Gu Nantian, what's wrong with you? You came to my Ji Sword Immortal City to cause trouble for no reason. Could it be that you don't take my Ximen family seriously...?"

As he spoke, a coercion suddenly erupted, and he rushed towards the opposite side unceremoniously. It was obvious that what the Black Dragon Ancestor had done had completely angered the Ximen Family. Faced with such a blatant provocation, he naturally couldn't help it. You will no longer care about the opponent's face, and you must respond with a strong attitude. Otherwise, where will the majesty of the No. 1 swordsman family exist?

However, seeing this situation, the Black Dragon Ancestor was so angry that he pointed at his nose and yelled:

"Okay, okay, you're such a red-robed swordsman, you, Ximen, have killed my grandson, but you still have the nerve to pretend to be crazy and beat him up. It's so shameless. Is this the way your Ximen family forms an alliance... ....."

As soon as these words came out, Ximen Ye was stunned for a moment, and his eyebrows knitted tightly together.

Although his intuition told him that there must be something fishy in this, but in full view of the public, he naturally would not accept the matter and simply replied in a strong tone:

"Hmph~! That's nonsense. Our Ximen family has always been upright, how could we do such a stupid thing? Moreover, since our family has submitted the covenant, how can we kill your grandson for no reason? I would like to advise fellow Taoist Gu not to slander anyone, so as not to It won’t end until the end!”

There is no doubt that these words not only cleared up the matter, but also contained a threat.

And the Black Dragon Ancestor Gu Nantian was already furious, how could he endure such grievances? So he immediately stroked his sleeves and robe, threw something out of the air and flew towards Ximen Ye, and an angry shout resounded:

"Okay, okay~! What a slanderer! Ximen Ye, you should first take a look at what this thing is before making a conclusion, so as not to say that I care about someone unreasonably!"

Hearing this, Ximen Ye was about to argue, but saw a white talisman flying towards him. It was the exclusive token of the Jade-Faced Sword Immortal Ximen Xue.

At the same time, the voice of the Black Dragon Ancestor also sounded again:

"This command talisman was found at the place where my grandson died. If I remember correctly, it should be owned by the noble young master, right? Dare I ask fellow Taoist Ximen Ye how to explain it?"

As soon as he said this, Ximen Ye on the opposite side finally realized the seriousness of the situation, and even his aura couldn't help but weaken a little, and then his tone gradually softened and said:

"Ahem~! Daoist Gu, please be patient. In my opinion, there must be some misunderstanding. My Xue'er has been in seclusion in the clan recently and has not stepped out of the fairy city. Besides, a token alone cannot prove anything. Daoist Gu, please do not let someone with ulterior motives take advantage of you...!"

"Hmph~! What a misunderstanding. Now that the perpetrator has been caught red-handed, and the incident happened on your Ximen family's territory, you still want to quibble here. It is obvious that you are deliberately shielding them. Is this how the No. 1 family in the sword path treats its allies?"

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he was forcibly interrupted by Gu Nantian. After all, his patience had long been exhausted, and he didn't care about tearing his face.

Seeing this situation, Ximen Ye couldn't help but get angry. If it was according to his previous temper, he would have drawn his sword long ago, but now that the other party brought up the alliance, he couldn't do too much, otherwise once the rumor got out, wouldn't it chill the hearts of all the allies?

Finally, he had no choice but to suppress his anger and bowed slightly to Gu Nantian:

"Fellow Daoist Gu, please calm down. Since this has already happened, our Ximen family will give a reasonable explanation. However, since Fellow Daoist Gu has come from afar, our Ximen family should be the host. How about we talk for a while?"

But the Black Dragon Patriarch didn't buy it at all, and still shouted with a gloomy face:

"Don't give me this trick. Is there anything that can't be said in person? Could it be that your Ximen family intends to bully others and kill me as well?"

As soon as these words came out, Qin Tian, ​​who witnessed the whole process, couldn't help but twitch his mouth, and was almost stimulated to break his strength on the spot. Obviously, he never expected that these usually high-ranking strong men in the fusion stage would also be so red-faced and thick-necked when quarreling, and even dared to act like a rogue in public.

Seeing that the other party was unmoved, Ximen Ye's face darkened, and then he simply stroked his sleeves and sent a voice message to the people below:

"Xue'er, come up and explain the matter clearly, so as not to damage the family's reputation. Your fourth uncle will take care of everything for you. This old man will never dare to do anything reckless. You can rest assured.........!"

While speaking, Ximen Ye looked at Ximen Xue with a doting look, and even made a blunt guarantee.

It is probably because Ximen Xue has been able to be seen by all in terms of ability and character since he became the young master. His talent in swordsmanship is even better than that of the heroes. Even he, the red-clothed sword fairy, is ashamed of himself. He is the best candidate to hold power in the future.

So even though Ximen Xue is a concubine, he is still highly regarded by several great elders. In this case, let alone not killing anyone, even if he really kills the Black Dragon Young Master, there will be absolutely no room for compromise.

This is the confidence of the first family of swordsmanship!

If he couldn't even protect his own young master, how could he still have the face to fight for the name of the holy land of swordsmanship? Besides, the four combined masters were from the same clan, so how could they really take the mere Black Dragon Mountain seriously?

After getting Ximen Ye's guarantee, Ximen Xue couldn't help but feel relieved, and then quickly turned into a light and took off into the sky. As the dignified Ximen young master, he naturally had the privilege of flying in the sky.

After arriving at the scene, Ximen Xue naturally didn't dare to say that he sent people to besiege the Black Dragon young master, let alone reveal the record of beating the two Black Dragon Guard commanders to the point of physical collapse, otherwise he would really be regarded as yellow mud falling from his pants, and it would be shit if it wasn't shit.

So he simply avoided talking about it and swore a poisonous oath directly to the sky, with a calm and unyielding face:

"Junior Ximen Xue, meet Senior Gu, I dare to swear by my inner demon that I have never killed the young master of your family. If I violate this oath, I will be punished by heaven and earth!"

"Besides, although this talisman belongs to me, I have given many of them as tokens over the years. It is not ruled out that someone deliberately framed me. I hope that the senior will be able to see through everything and not be calculated by the traitors...!"

While speaking, Ximen Xue couldn't help but murmur secretly.

According to the news brought back by the four great sword servants, Gu Yihan has the protection of two mid-stage commanders and a wind-controlling demon pigeon as a mount. It stands to reason that as long as he doesn't encounter a master of perfect refining emptiness, he can almost walk sideways directly, so it is impossible for the kid who just survived the heavenly tribulation to do anything to the other party.

The most reasonable explanation should be that the boy failed to escape and was caught up and killed by the Black Dragon Young Master. It happened that a third group of mysterious people appeared and wiped out the Black Dragon Young Master and others. They deliberately left clues and put the blame on the Ximen family. This is obviously a trick to divert trouble and sow discord. Its purpose is nothing more than to make the Ximen family's covenant plan that has been planned for many years fail.

This can also explain why the boy promised to accept the order but disappeared mysteriously. It turned out that he died in the middle of the journey.

In summary, the biggest suspicion is almost obvious.

After thinking about it, the only one who dares to act like this in the Falling Star Region is the Cangjian Valley. This can not only kill the monster that the Ximen family just found in the cradle, but also cause a rift between the Ximen family and its allies. It is really a strategy that kills two birds with one stone!

After some analysis, Ximen Xue suddenly felt that the clouds had been cleared and he was extremely confident. He quickly sent a message to Ximen Ye who was standing beside him to tell him the details. After hearing this, the latter thought about it for a while, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He must have agreed with this speculation.

..................

At the same time, seeing Ximen Xue swearing a poisonous oath in public, and looking like he had a clear conscience, the Black Dragon Ancestor was also slightly stunned, and he also had doubts in his heart.

Although he looked red-faced and thick-necked, he was actually not sure who the murderer was.

Because Ximen Xue's token appeared in the Gobi Desert, it was no less than ten thousand miles away from the place where Gu Yihan fell, and at the place where Gu Yihan fell, there was also a token of the Shinto Gate. This matter is a bit confusing no matter how you look at it.

But this place is Ximen's territory after all, so Ximen Xue is the most suspicious. Even if he is not the real murderer, he must be involved. Moreover, the remaining Shinto Gate token, in the eyes of his Black Dragon Ancestor, is clearly left by the real murderer behind the scenes, and his purpose is just to confuse the public.

After all, the Shinto Gate is far away in the Great Wilderness, and it has nothing to do with his Black Dragon Mountain. How could they come all the way to hunt down his precious grandson for no reason? So no matter how you look at it, it is an attempt to cover up the truth!

After a well-reasoned analysis, Gu Nantian confirmed his guess, so he immediately said with a face full of sarcasm:

"Hmph~! Even if you, Young Master Ximen, didn't kill him, there are many masters in the Ximen family. Who can guarantee that the other subordinates didn't kill him? In short, the incident happened in Luoxing Domain, and your Ximen family is definitely not unrelated!"

After these words came out, Ximen Xue really had no way to defend herself.

Even Ximen Ye's face suddenly became gloomy, and he couldn't help but said in a cold tone:

"Gu Nantian, my Ximen family has already explained it, you'd better not make trouble.........!"

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the Black Dragon Ancestor waving his sleeves, and his attitude was as tough as ever:

"Stop talking nonsense, if you don't hand over the person today, I will report to Yuding Xianshan, and our two families will fight to the death in the future...!"

Such remarks Once it happened, it was almost equivalent to completely tearing the face apart, so Ximen Ye could no longer endure it, and simply laughed and said domineeringly:

"Hahaha~! It's ridiculous. I am the first family of swordsmanship. Who do I need to hand over to? Just relying on you, Gu Nantian, you dare to say that you will fight to the death? It's really ridiculous!"

"Xue'er, you retreat for the time being, and leave this place to your fourth uncle!"

After mocking, Ximen Ye put one hand behind his back, and the sword intent around him surged, ready to take action.

In order to avoid being affected by innocent people, Ximen Xue naturally did not dare to stay, and quickly turned into a light and retreated back to the mansion.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the monks in the city were inevitably panicked, and some even began to flee outside the city. After all, everyone knew that once a strong man in the fusion stage took action, it would be overwhelming and shocking. In this case, if you don't dodge quickly, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Only some people with sharp minds remained where they were with a calm look on their faces, such as Qin Tian.
