Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 253 One Year

one year later.

Chixiao City was still prosperous as always, with sword cultivators from all sides gathering there.

However, two major events were missing this year.

The Chengying Sword Dojo has been abandoned, and the Xuanyuan Sword Dojo secret realm is no longer open to the public.

The competition for the Qingyun Ranking is still fierce, but something seems to be missing.

The swordsman who ranks first on the Qingyun list is simply untouchable.

After the pill was condensed, he was invincible.

Over the past year, Li Fan has seldom appeared in public. It is said that he went to Qixing Lane to practice Buddhism and rarely went out.

There are also rumors that Li Fan went to the Xuanyuan Sword Dojo to practice and received guidance from Xuanyuan Sword. Of course, this is just a rumor.

However, there is a relatively certain piece of news, which has been confirmed by Lu Yuhuan, the daughter of the Lu family in Qixing Lane. Li Fan has entered the late stage of the foundation building stage. At this level, it is unimaginable who can become his opponent.

When Li Fan entered the top ten of the Qingyun List and asked about the Seven Swords, he was in the early stage of foundation building.

He had just entered the middle stage of foundation building when he started a massacre in the secret realm, killing Yingze, Qu Lan, Ren Yuzhi and others.

Now, he has entered the late stage of foundation building.

Not to mention Chixiao City, even in the entire Dali, it would be difficult to find a cultivator at this level who could match him.

early morning.

In the winter, snowflakes began to fall again in Chixiao City, and the white snow added a bit of artistic conception to the whole city.

Lu Yuhuan got up early and walked along Qixing Lane to a house in the lane. She saw wheel marks on the snowy ground and the gate of the house was open.

This made Lu Yuhuan's heart skip a beat. When she stepped inside, there was no one there.

He only left a piece of paper on the stone pillar in the yard, with a few words of farewell written on it.

Looking at the line of words, Lu Yuhuan suddenly felt empty in her heart, as if something precious had been lost, although she had never owned it.

With a thought, a sword appeared in front of her. Lu Yuhuan stepped on the sword and went up to the sky above Qixing Lane. She looked into the distance and saw carriages and horses moving on the streets of Chixiao City, but she could no longer see the familiar figures.

"See you again in Jianghu." Lu Yuhuan murmured.

At some point, a middle-aged figure appeared beside her. It was Lu Yuhuan's father, Lu Yulin.

"Can't bear to part with it?" Lu Yulin said.

"No way." Lu Yuhuan said.

"Over the past year, you have come to visit every few days, either to play chess or to learn swordsmanship. If you were not afraid of disturbing his practice, you would probably want to live here. If you don't come for a day, it seems that you are worried and can't concentrate on your own practice. How can Dad not see it?"

Lu Yulin said, "I knew about his departure early in the morning, but I didn't inform you, Yuhuan. All good things must come to an end. As the daughter of my Lu family, you have outstanding talents and looks. You will surely find a good husband in the future, but after all, you and he don't belong to the same world."

"It's time to let it go..."

Lu Yuhuan remained silent. Yes, after all, they were not from the same world.

The descendant of the Boundless Sword Master, the disciple of Zuo Canglan, and the Sword Master of Lishan.

His future is destined to be bright.

One day in the future, she will probably hear his name in Chixiao City.

Outside Chixiao City, the carriage moved slowly, leaving traces on the snow.

From high in the sky, sword energy was whistling, and two unparalleled swordsmen landed in front of the carriage.

Li Fan lifted the car curtain and walked out, smiling and saying, "Senior Brother."

The people who came were Ji Hua and Wen Ruyu.

"Junior brother, we have to go first." Wen Ruyu said.

"Okay." Li Fan nodded.

"The journey is long, Junior Brother Xiaofan, you can treat it as a trip and practice along the way." Ji Hua also said.

"I understand. Take care, brothers." Li Fan said.

"Let's go..." Ji Hua and Wen Ruyu smiled and waved their hands, the swords broke through the void and flew away.

"My two senior brothers are really free and easy." Huang Xiong was somewhat envious of the sword cultivator's demeanor.

"Brother Huang, you will be able to do it in the future." Li Fan said with a smile, and returned to the car and said, "Let's go."

…………

Dali Yazhou, Yacheng, is the capital of Yazhou, located on the edge of the western border of Dali.

Among the thirty-six states of the Dali Dynasty, Yazhou is quite special. In addition to land cities, the area under its jurisdiction also includes sea areas.

Yacheng is adjacent to the West Sea. The West Sea is vast and endless, with many islands, among which there are many extremely prosperous island cities. Although they are under the jurisdiction of Yazhou, Yazhou’s control over the sea cities is almost non-existent.

"Brother Yang, you don't know that the West Sea is too big. The islands in the sea have never recognized the power of the dynasty. Even though they are now intimidated by the pressure from the Dali court, they are only pretending to be submissive. There are too many powerful people in the islands of the West Sea. This mere Yazhou Prefecture is not taken seriously at all."

“Speaking of which, the governor of Yazhou is also a great cultivator in the sixth realm of Dao body. If he were placed in other prefectures, he would definitely not be considered weak. But sitting in Yazhou, he seems a little insignificant.” Yazhou City is close to the sea, and it is very lively with people coming and going.

One of the group of people was particularly conspicuous. There was a handsome young man in white, and he was accompanied by several stunning beauties. It was hard not to attract attention.

It was Li Fan and his group who came from Chixiao City.

"Why are there so many strong men in the islands of the West Sea?" Li Fan asked the person next to him. Next to him was a young Taoist couple, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. The man was talkative and cheerful, and good at socializing. The woman had an extraordinary appearance, but had a cold face, and seemed a little unhappy.

The two parties were meeting for the first time, and the young man seemed to be quite familiar with the other person.

"Brother Yang, you don't know this. The sea area has always been a chaotic place, where people kill people, rob treasures and plunder land. There is no law, so naturally there are many vicious people."

"In addition, there are a large number of sea monsters in the sea. The cultivators are constantly fighting with the monsters. Killing the monsters is also a cultivation resource. In the island city on the sea, various transactions are carried out every day. Some ruthless people in Dali have committed crimes or offended others. Many of them flee to the sea, and they also take the stolen treasures with them."

"Finally, there are some hermits. They go to the islands in the sea to practice, and some gradually begin to preach. There are many strong people in the West Sea. Some of them have founded their own sects, while others have retreated from the world to practice hard."

"Thank you, Brother Tan, for your guidance." Li Fan thanked him.

"You're welcome. Since we are both going to sea, it's fate that we meet. We are all brothers in the world, so it's only natural for us to help each other." The young man said cheerfully, "Brother Yang, we are just ahead. Look there."

Li Fan said as the other party pointed his finger and saw the vast ocean.

On the seashore, there are many people busy, including fishermen, shipbuilders, and ships.

What the young man was pointing at was a large ship several stories high. There were many rooms built on it, just like an inn on a ship, which was extremely spectacular.

Li Fan came to Yazhou to go out to sea.

He and his senior brother agreed to go to the West Sea.

In the West Sea, one might be able to find a treasure that could repair a damaged soul. Although Lu Yuan had recovered a lot through practice and was no different from an ordinary person, he still suffered irreversible damage and needed a treasure to recover.

In addition, Li Fan hopes to try his luck and see if he can find a more advanced treasure to heal the old blind man's injuries.

Li Shan has not been able to do it for so many years. He naturally knows that it is difficult, but he has to try it. Even if he can't do it, he will do it in the future if he can get some news.

When they arrived in front of the big ship, Li Fan and the young man showed their tokens respectively, and then went up the stairs to the big ship.

The deck was filled with practitioners from all walks of life. When Li Fan and his companions came up, many people were looking at them, especially Lu Yuan and Yue Qingqiu, who attracted many eyes.

The group was already used to it, they walked to the railing and looked out at the sea in the distance.

This was the first time for Li Fan to see the sea, and it was also the first time for Yue Qingqiu and Huang Xiong.

The Dali continent is too vast, and ordinary people cannot leave the county. Even ordinary practitioners find it difficult to leave their own city, let alone the state.

Lu Yuan gazed into the distance, her eyes seemed to be filled with worry. The sea breeze blew, ruffling her long hair, revealing a messy beauty.

"Have you seen enough?" In the other direction, the woman next to the young man surnamed Tan glanced at him coldly. They were Taoist companions, how could she not understand him?
He was not that enthusiastic at all, it was just because the woman next to the man named Yang was too beautiful.

People went onto the deck one after another.

"cough……"

A coughing sound was heard. Li Fan looked and saw an old man coming up with a hunched back. Many martial artists laughed. It seemed that the old man could not even walk steadily. How could he go out to sea?

But more people will not interfere and just watch.

When you go out to sea, there may be all kinds of people, so don’t cause trouble.

After waiting for a while, someone shouted down below: "Boatman, it should be time, why don't you set off yet?"

"Please wait a minute, some people haven't arrived yet." Someone responded from below.

"Who is so honorable that he makes us all wait for him?" someone said dissatisfiedly.

"Yeah, if you don't set off soon, I'm going to smash this boat." shouted an angry man.

"Just be patient, it will be over soon..." The man replied, "If you want to smash the boat, you have to ask my boss."

The man just got angry, because he knew that the ship merchant had a complicated background.

At this time, a group of figures appeared in the distance, flying in the air with the help of magic.

The leader was a young man wearing a green robe and had an extraordinary temperament. The people following him also had outstanding temperaments.

"Wenren Qiu."

Many people were talking about it.

"This prefectural master is also going out to sea for training?"

The young man flew onto the deck, and when the group of people landed on the ground, the ship was quiet for a moment.

This Wenren Qiu is the son of the prefect of Yazhou, and the people around him are all of unusual status.

"Mr. Wenren." Many people came forward and bowed to greet him.

Li Fan faced the sea and heard the whispers of the crowd.

The son of the prefect of Yazhou?

It's quite bold.
