Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 192 Blocking the Road
The winter sun is full of warmth, and Chixiao City is particularly lively today.

Sword cultivators walked out from different street corners and gathered towards a main street in the central area of ​​Chixiao City. Pedestrians were talking about the situation on the road, and in the air, there were sword cultivators flying on their swords, looking carefree and happy.

Today is the day that Li Chengying's Taoist temple accepts disciples, and many practitioners on the Qingyun List will go there to give it a try.

Being able to become a disciple of the fifth-ranked swordsman in the world, even if not a direct disciple, just practicing in his dojo and getting some guidance would be helpful for the way of the sword.

What's more, Li Chengying's dojo is full of geniuses, all of whom are sword practitioners on the Qingyun List of all generations. In such an environment, the path of sword practice will naturally be much smoother.

In addition to the sword cultivators on the Qingyun Ranking, many more people went there to watch the fun.

Such an opportunity only comes once a year. Li Chengying's dojo only recruits disciples once near the end of the year. If you miss it, you will have to wait for the next chance.

"Brother Nian, how many people do you think will be able to enter Senior Chengying Sword's dojo to practice this time?" The passers-by on the road were all discussing this matter. The recruitment of disciples by Senior Chengying Sword's dojo was probably one of the most important events in Chixiao City before the end of the year.

"According to the practice of previous years, most people on the Qingyun Ranking will have a chance as long as they go there." The person next to him said, "Among the top five sword cultivators in the world, only Li Chengying's dojo will publicly recruit disciples. Apart from them, only the second-ranked Lingxiao Pavilion will accept people. However, Lingxiao Pavilion is different. Even if you enter Lingxiao Pavilion, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see Taixuzi."

As for the other three, it is even more impossible to get their guidance. Probably only Li Chengying has a chance.

Therefore, many sword cultivators on the Qingyun List are willing to give it a try.

As the crowd got closer and closer to Li Chengying's dojo, more and more people gathered on the road, making it even more lively.

On the street, a horse galloped past, and passers-by were amazed.

Gu Qiu, ranked tenth on the Qingyun list.

"Gu Qiu, why are you so low-key?" A rainbow flew across the sky. It was a fiery red sword. On the flying sword stood a woman in a long red skirt. She looked heroic with a sword on her back.

"Xia Yao." Gu Qiu looked up and smiled, "I'd love to."

Xia Yao, ranked twelfth on the Qingyun list.

In another direction, a tall man with dark skin and a heavy sword on his back walked towards him. His steps were strong and powerful, and every step he took seemed to be full of strength.

"Han Zhong." Gu Qiu and Xia Yao both looked at the walking figure with a slightly serious expression.

This Han Zhong is the seventh-ranked swordsman on the Qingyun List. He wields an unrivaled heavy sword and has extremely strong combat power.

"It's so lively." There was excitement in the eyes of the crowd. Walking on the street, they could easily see strong people on the Qingyun List, even those in the top ten. It was worthy of the Chengying Sword Dojo to recruit disciples. Such a grand occasion would be hard to come by on ordinary days. There were few opportunities for practitioners on the Qingyun List to gather together.

Su Chen was also walking on the street at this time. He got up early in the morning to bathe and change clothes. He was wearing a gorgeous robe, a bun on his head, a handsome face, and a sword on his back. He was extraordinary and attracted a lot of attention.

Behind him, the fifth-level swordsman was still following.

Today is the day he will enter Li Chengying's Taoist temple to practice.

After he came to Chixiao City, he rushed to enter the Qingyun List in order to catch up with Li Chengying's Taoist temple recruiting disciples this year. Although he would have another chance later even if he missed it this year, time was precious to him. If he entered a year earlier, he would be able to progress faster.

Although the Su family and the Li family have a friendship, even so, he still needs to go through this process and cannot directly join Li Chengying's Taoist temple. Not to mention the Su family, even if someone from the Li family comes, Li Chengying can give face if he wants to, and it is the same if he doesn't want to.

The Li family is the top family in the imperial city, with a seventh-level cultivator in charge and a profound foundation.

However, no matter how strong the foundation is, it cannot match the fifth-ranked swordsman in the world. Li Chengying's existence has surpassed the Li family. As long as he nods, he can take charge of the Li family at any time.

The influence of a peak practitioner is hard to match even for aristocratic families. Li Chengying alone can destroy an aristocratic family, and Xuanyuan Sword alone can destroy a city. Even the Dali court has to treat people of this level with courtesy.

Back then, Lishan's influence on Dali was unparalleled in the world because he had several top sword cultivators. No other force could compete with him. Probably the only one who could contend with him was the Dali court.

But now, times have changed...

Su Chen also had another purpose in wanting to join Li Chengying's dojo, which was to fight for the right to speak in the Su family when he returned in the future.

He has a clear understanding of himself. Unlike Li Chengying, he does not have the talent to look down on the world. He is an ordinary person who wants to have worldly rights.

He was not from the lineage of heirs, so in the Su family, he often had to keep a low profile and even flatter the lineage of direct heirs in order to survive better and have a certain status in the family so as not to be excluded from the core circle.

But how can a good man be under someone else's control for long?

He knew that there was no hope for him to stay in the Su family, so he decided to find another way and take a different path. So he traveled thousands of miles from the Imperial City to Chixiao City to learn the way of swordsmanship and entered the Chengying Sword Dojo. If he had the opportunity to become a disciple of Chengying Sword in the future, then his status in the family would be infinitely elevated.

If he succeeds in swordsmanship, he will have a chance to fight for the most core power and even control the family. Therefore, Su Chen cannot afford to make any mistakes this time. He first found Tang Huan, who was ranked last on the Qingyun List. It was not accidental that he moved to Qixing Lane to live. He had chosen his target.

After being destroyed by Li Fan, he had to change his goal immediately and squeeze into the Qingyun List.

"Sir, how confident do you think I am this time?" Su Chen asked the swordsman beside him.

"Young Master came here for this purpose. If one has the will, there is no reason why he cannot achieve it." The sword cultivator next to him responded, "I wish you to practice in the Chengying Sword Dojo."

"I have been learning swordsmanship from you since I was young, and I have been learning for many years. I am here today thanks to you for taking care of me. I have never treated you as an outsider, but as my master." Su Chen said, "If I have achieved success in my studies in the future, I will repay you for your kindness."

"This is what I should do." The other party responded. He knew Su Chen quite well. He was a man of deep thoughts and good at winning people's hearts. Even he sometimes couldn't tell which words were true and which were false.

How much truth is there in these heartfelt words?
However, Su Chen is a man who can accomplish things. It's a pity that although he has a superb talent in swordsmanship, it is still not enough... If he becomes a disciple of Chengying Sword Sect, he may have a chance to transform. It would be best if he could take power in the Su family in the future.

"arrive."

Su Chen looked ahead, and as far as his vision could reach, there seemed to be a city within a city, with tall pavilions and a wide gate surrounded by high walls. The high walls were like city walls, and on top of them, there were swords stuck.

Outside the high walls, in the wide square, there are many celebrities gathered here.

Su Chen's eyes flickered with anticipation, and he quickened his pace and walked forward. He was one step closer to his goal.

Just when Su Chen's eyes were full of anticipation, he saw a carriage slowly approaching from the side of the crowd in front of him, heading in the same direction as him. Su Chen recognized the coachman, who was stunned for a moment, and stopped in his tracks, his face suddenly becoming extremely gloomy and embarrassed.

"Left-handed."

Su Chen stared in the direction of the carriage. He thought the other party was not there, but he didn't expect that he was still lingering and followed him here.

Was this something done intentionally to harm him?

Su Chen paused for a moment and continued to move forward. The carriage in front also stopped, blocking Su Chen's way. Many people around seemed to have noticed the situation here and looked towards the carriage.

"It's the coachman." Someone stared at Huang Xiong and said.

"Who?"

"The driver of Zuo Tu, the person in the carriage should be Zuo Tu." People around were talking. Apparently someone recognized Li Fan and Huang Xiong. Now they were also well-known in Chixiao City, although their reputation was not very good.

On the other side of the crowd, a ragged swordsman in black walked out and stood there quietly, blocking Su Chen's way. It was Yan Qi.

A trace of sword intent surged in Su Chen's body, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

He has tolerated Li Fan for a long time.

Su Chen walked slowly, stopped near the carriage, and whispered to the carriage: "Brother Zuo, if there is any grudge between you and me, I will apologize to you and come to your house to apologize when I have the chance another day. How about that?"

Su Chen was only one step away from entering the Chengying Sword Arena. He didn't want to make any mistakes at this time, so he would rather lower his head.

"Just as?"

Li Fan's voice came from the carriage: "It seems that Brother Su doesn't think he did anything wrong."

People like Su Chen will only be in more danger once they enter Chengying Sword Dojo.

"What exactly do you want, Brother Zuo?" Su Chen frowned and lowered his voice, "If possible, Brother Zuo can make a condition."

Li Fan opened the curtain of the carriage, got off and stood on the street. Huang Xiong drove the carriage to the side. The eyes of the people around him all fell on Li Fan. The sunlight poured down, reflecting his handsome face, which made many people exclaim in their hearts, what a romantic swordsman.

Su Chen already has an extraordinary temperament, but Li Fan, standing opposite him, actually wants to suppress him.

Nowadays, there are many rumors in Chixiao City that Zuotu, the sword cultivator who has just entered the Qingyun List, is also the youngest sword cultivator on the Qingyun List. It is said that he is a son of an aristocratic family, suave, and young and frivolous. Even his coachman is arrogant and domineering. He is accompanied by a beautiful concubine who is said to have an astonishing appearance.

Now it seems that these rumors are true.

Li Chengying's dojo is recruiting disciples today, and geniuses from all sides are gathering here. Su Chen also comes here and wants to practice at Chengying Sword Dojo. His left disciple's carriage blocks his way, which shows his frivolous personality.
