Beichen Sword Sect's Headmaster's Secret Records

Chapter 87 Jingxing
"Whoosh!"

"Ah!"

"Ding Ding Ding!"

The sword flashed with green light as it came out of its sheath. Leng Feng jumped in the darkness, leaping like lightning, and flipped three times in Tiedan's palm.

In a flash, the flying dagger that came out of the dense forest and flew towards his neck and heart like a silver fish, silently bounced off and missed.

"kill!"

Suddenly attacked, without any panic or hesitation, Tiedan opened his mouth and spit out the Shengang Sword. The sword blade flashed with cold light like a meteor, cutting through the shadows of the trees in the breeze, as if sliding silently into the forest through the gaps in the shade of the trees.

The next second, there was a muffled "thump" sound, and something fell from the treetops.

"who!"

Hearing the commotion here, a bright pearl suddenly lit up, illuminating the caravan camping in the woods.

In an instant, figures appeared one after another. Shopkeeper Qiao and his servants came out from the carriage with knives and swords drawn, ready for battle.

Then they saw Tiedan holding a sword in his hand, looking outside the camp expressionlessly.

"It's alright, Mandrill."

Mandrill?

Then there was a rustling in the woods, and everyone quickly became alert. They saw a disciple of the Sword Sect carrying a corpse covered with a green robe coming out of the woods. He stared at Tiedan with red eyes and said through gritted teeth,

"…It's okay, Mandrill."

Mandrill...

Shopkeeper Qiao had a headache and could only hold his head and sigh.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a mandrill, everyone go back and rest."

The guys at Qianshengtong looked at each other in bewilderment.

Well, if you say it is a mandrill, then it must be a mandrill...

When everyone went back to rest, Shopkeeper Qiao said in embarrassment,
"Fellow Daoist, we have only been walking for three days and have not yet left Weize Pass. It's not good to have mandrills causing trouble every night..."

Tiedan turned his head and looked at his fellow brothers who were gathered outside the caravan camp and were looking at him with expressionless faces.

"Tell them."

The shopkeeper also sighed inwardly, put on his clothes, took out two jade pendants, prepared some silver and money, and went to comfort those disciples of the Sword Sect who were harmed by the "mandrill".

Tiedan hugged his sword, leaned against the carriage, and looked at the dark mountains expressionlessly.

What else can I say? These people from Benshan really want to kill him. Who cares about the rules of your mountain sect? They will take action as soon as they get a chance.

You are not even given the chance to rest and take a nap. As soon as you lower your head, flying swords will come at you. Fortunately, Tiedan used to be a scout and was used to not sleeping for days and nights, so he could survive three days of sleepless nights.

But you are not right to say that they have no rules at all.

At least in these three days, we fought three times at night, and at least they didn't come up to beat us up.

Although they were in groups of two, only one person drew the sword at a time, while the other watched and helped collect the bodies.

Hey, don’t talk about the Sword Sect, they rely on their numbers to bully you, it’s just a one-on-one duel, it’s a sword fight.

Tiedan recognized the pride of these people as disciples of Xuanmen.

But he also thought that this was simply stupid.

Why should we be so reserved or proud when killing someone? Isn't the ultimate goal to kill the opponent?

This means it is one against eight, no, one against five. Tiedan does not have much chance of winning and has to passively defend for the time being, otherwise he would have killed him by any means necessary.

Of course, it must be admitted that those who have inherited Benshan’s secret sword are still very powerful, even though they are only at the foundation-building stage.

After three days of fighting, each "mandrill" could control three flying swords at the same time. They might be the secret swords learned from Instructor Nadu.

That is to say, their fighting styles of flying swords are different. Some of them start with a big swing, three swords rushing at the face, fiercely attacking. Some of them fight with two swords, and stab with a hidden sword. There are also those who sneak up and then suddenly stab. In terms of the ability of flying swords, these people are not much worse than that instructor Du. It can be seen that their accuracy has at least been practiced in threading a needle.

It’s a pity that all the disciples in the Foundation Establishment Stage who have not entered the Sword Sect’s mountain gate and have not received the sword teachings will encounter similar bottlenecks.

That is, without a decent sword or magic weapon in hand, one cannot display his true ability.

Yes, those that stabbed just now could not be considered flying swords, at most they were sharp blades made of gold and iron, much inferior to the Eighth Servant Qingshuang and the Sword Child's Sword Embryo. No matter in terms of sword speed or sword sharpness, they could not compete, and were easily cut off by Tiedan.

So in the end, the skills they had cultivated for many years were limited by the lack of swords in their hands, and they could not bring them into play. In a one-on-one fight, they could not pose much threat to Tiedan. Not to mention that their spiritual awareness range and true Qi foundation could not be compared with Tiedan, who had now opened up the upper and lower Danzang. Even if it was three to one, Tiedan dared to fight them.

But when it’s eight against one or five against one, Tiedan can’t be complacent.

No matter how you calculate it, no matter how powerful he is, he can only kill three with one sword. Then the remaining two people, at least six swords, can't be dealt with no matter what. So as long as the opponent rushes forward, then Tiedan will either be cut into pieces or beheaded, and there is no chance of survival.

But they just didn't bother to attack and wanted to fight alone. What could Tiedan say...

What a bunch of idiots.

So the bunch of idiots over there simply collected the corpses and continued to sharpen their swords, staring at Tiedan fiercely, and it was useless no matter how much the shopkeeper talked.

The shopkeeper had no choice but to come back.

"Friends on the railway, it's not that I don't trust your abilities, but we still have at least eight days to travel. If you run out of resources so quickly, and if you really encounter a mandrill on the way, we will have to rely on merchants like us and the goods in our business..."

Tiedan just looked at him.

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly,

"I'm not asking you not to fight back. I'm giving you some advice. It's just a suggestion. Can you not be so ruthless and just break their swords? Leave them alive."

Tiedan rolled his eyes.

The shopkeeper handed over a storage jade pendant.
"It's just a small gift, not a respect. As long as you pass the Weize Pass, I will hire someone else after you pass the Weize Pass."

Tiedan thought about it and nodded.

After all, it is not difficult for a flying sword to pass through the hole of a needle, and it is also not difficult to save the opponent's life. It's just that he doesn't want to hold back.

Look at the many pills in this storage jade. Although they are all things for replenishing qi and blood, healing wounds and curing diseases, Tiedan himself cannot use them, but it is not bad to use them to trade as a favor.

All right, chop them up, and then kill them again after passing Weize Pass.

So when it was daytime, the caravan continued its journey. Now three Sword Masters were leading the way in front, two were following behind to cover the rear, and Tiedan was still following in the middle of the team to escort the caravan.

More than twenty ox carts traveled eastward along the mountain path in the forest.

The Jingxing Pass they took was one of the Eight Passes of Xuannv, a vital passage connecting Qian and Gen states. Because the Xuannv Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, with hundreds of ridges interconnected, thousands of peaks towering, and thousands of ravines deep, only these eight passes are accessible for vehicles and horses. If the Demon Palace wants to transfer a large army to Qian, it can only go through these eight passes. When the Xuanmen rebelled, they relied on the high mountains and dense forests of Qianzhou and the dangerous eight passes to fight guerrilla warfare with the Demon Palace army.

Later, the Demon Palace couldn't bear it anymore, so it sent Yuntai Peak to suppress them. However, they were assassinated by Xuannv, and the throne was also seized...

"What? What did you say?" Tiedan frowned, "Wait a minute, go back a little."

"Back?"

Shopkeeper Qiao was just chatting casually when he was suddenly interrupted by Tiedan. But he understood after thinking about it.
"Oh, you're asking about Yuntai Peak, right? Yes, that was originally the Immortal Palace, the flying mountain in the clouds, the original imperial throne Ziweiyuan.

It is said that it was captured by the Immortal Lord from the demon clan's ancestral temple. The imperial guards of the past relied on the Immortal Mountain to expand their territory, conquer the four barbarians, and conquer the territories of the twelve countries. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the iron chariot of the Immortal Palace.

So when Xuanmen rebelled, because of the continuous mountains and the difficulty in transporting military supplies, the Demon Palace naturally used the fairy mountain to transport the army from the capital to suppress it. Who would have thought that the Xuannv assassinated the king and even seized the Ziwei Xingyuan, which became the Jiuyin Mountain of our Xuanmen.

The current Ziweiyuan in Wangji was newly built later, but you must admit that the Demon Palace is really rich. They can even build another Feitian Fairy Mountain after destroying one..."

"Yuntai Peak... fly over here... Ziweiyuan... and we can also build a new one..."

Tiedan was speechless for a moment.

How come? It turns out that the Demon Palace is so awesome?

Yes, it's that cool.

"The Demon Palace has inherited all the ancient demon clan's heritage. It is so big and deep-rooted that it is hard to estimate its influence. Every time it is on the verge of extinction, countless famous ministers and brave generals emerge to turn the tide. It can always be reborn. Perhaps this is what is called destiny."

Merchants like Shopkeeper Qiao who travel far and wide have naturally been to the capital and seen the real market, so they naturally know the background of the Demon Palace.

But of course, something as awesome as a fairy mountain that can fly in the sky is not so easy to build. It's not that easy to just destroy one and then rebuild another. It is said that the project of rebuilding the emperor's throne started after Xuannv took away Yuntai Peak, and it has not been completed until today.

Moreover, it seems that due to the loss of the ancient demon tribe's technology, the construction of the fairy mountain also requires a huge amount of natural materials and treasures, which even the Demon Palace cannot afford. Therefore, the newly built one is not as big as Yuntai Peak, and many functions are said to be gone.

However, the harem where the Immortal Emperor and concubines lived was completed first and flew to the sky first, and was still called Ziwei.

Other state organs, key facilities, imperial palaces, and offices where court officials handled confidential matters also took off one after another and were called Taiwei.

The rest of the less important ones, or the places that are more convenient to stay on the ground, such as the factories, workshops and warehouses for alchemy and refining equipment like the Shangfang Bureau, will still remain in Wangjing and be called Tianshi.

With the lesson of the previous mountain, the Demon Palace no longer dared to fly these fairy mountains to the front line. Now it directly used these flying mountains and sky walls as capital facilities.

Yes,

This is the origin of the name Three Enclosures.

"I see……"

Tiedan was shocked.

Obviously, they are so lame at ordinary times, but they are so awesome in unexpected places. The Demon Palace is really a magical force...
