Chapter 241: Sect Master of the Myriad Swords Sect — Yue Hexuan
“Achoo, achoo!” Qin Feng rubbed his nose, feeling puzzled. The temperature inside this sword peak was not as cold as outside, so why did he keep sneezing?
Moreover, what was this inexplicable anxiety about? Is it because of my wife?
Perplexed, he picked up the hot tea on the table and took a sip.
At the moment, only he and Black Charcoal Head were in the room; everyone else had left for various reasons.
His old man said it was his first time coming to the rumored Myriad Swords Sect and wanted to take a look around. When the cheap master left, he only said something about meeting an acquaintance, but he didn’t elaborate on who that acquaintance was.
As for Lan Ningshuang, she went to find Bai Qiu. After all, to ascend the Star Moon Peak, one needed the approval of the Sect Master of the Myriad Swords Sect, and the head of a sect was not someone just anyone could meet.
Having waited in the room for a long time without seeing Ningshaung return, Qin Feng, who had been feeling inexplicably uneasy, decided to go out to clear his mind.
Qin Feng and Black Charcoal Head climbed the winding mountain path of the sword peak.
After an unknown amount of time, they arrived at a giant stone.
It was about five feets wide and, looking up, almost thirty feets high.
The surface of the giant stone was carved with many names, each with a clear air swirling above it.
Qin Feng stared at it carefully for a moment and understood that it was Sword Qi.
The names of these people were carved with Sword Qi!
“Brother-In-Law, what is this giant stone?”
Qin Feng shook his head, “I don’t know.”
Just then, on the other side of the giant stone, a powerful voice sounded, “This is not a giant stone; it’s a stone monument.”
Curious, they followed the sound, bypassing the side of the giant stone. They saw a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue cloak, holding a small wine jug, staring at the names on the stone monument, as if reminiscing about something.
The middle-aged man took a sip of wine and said casually, “The names engraved on it are those who, since ancient times, went out to exterminate demons and never returned.”
The Myriad Swords Sect could be recognized as one of the three major sword sects in The Great Qian not only because of its strength but also for reasons like this.
Members of the sect, after completing their studies, must travel the world, subdue demons and ghosts, and contribute their strength to protect the lives of the world.
Over time, the reputation of the Myriad Sword Sect naturally soared in the Great Qian Dynasty.
However, who can guarantee that they will definitely come back alive after going out to subdue demons and ghosts?
There are so many powerful and terrifying demons and ghosts in the world.
They often walk by the river, and it’s hard not to get wet shoes.
With frequent expeditions, the number of members returning to the sect naturally decreased.
Until, in the end, they could never come back…
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng and Black Charcoal Head were shocked. They looked up at the stone tablet again, and the densely packed names on it now seemed quite uncomfortable.
The middle-aged man turned his head and saw the expressions of the two. He laughed, “Hey, why do you look like this? When the Sword Ancestor founded the Myriad Sword Sect, his original intention was for the disciples of the sect to protect the world and eliminate demons and monsters.
For the people of the Myriad Sword Sect, being able to be on this stone tablet is a great honor.
Unfortunately, because I’m too strong, I haven’t encountered a demon or ghost that could put me on this stone tablet so far.”
The melancholic emotions of Qin Feng and Black Charcoal Head were dispelled by this self-praise…
How thick-skinned must a person be to say such things in front of others?
Golden light flashed in Qin Feng’s eyes as he looked at the middle-aged man, wanting to see how strong he really was to dare to boast like this.
But in just the blink of an eye, he couldn’t see the figure of the middle-aged man.
“Where did he go?” Qin Feng exclaimed.
“I… I don’t know, I was clearly watching him all the time, but I didn’t notice when he disappeared.” Xing Sheng swallowed nervously.
The two looked at each other, and the shock in their eyes couldn’t be concealed.
…
Not long after, two beautiful figures walked along the mountain path towards the stone tablet.
Bai Qiu spoke crisply, “Sister Ningshuang, Master is usually either in the main hall of Star Moon Peak or here. I just went to the main hall but couldn’t find him, so there’s a high probability he’s here. Also, did the Second Young Master of the Qin family really not come with him? I just asked out of curiosity, I don’t have any other ideas.”
Lan Ningshuang shook her head, only thinking about finding the Sect Master of Myriad Sword Sect quickly and letting her Brother-In-Law and Young Lady meet.
After ascending the stone platform, a huge stone stele came into view. Next to the stele were two familiar figures.
Lan Ningshuang exclaimed, “Brother-In-Law, Leader Xing, why are you here?”
“We’ve been idle in the room for a long time, so we came out for a walk and happened to arrive here.” Qin Feng responded, looking towards the voice.
Seeing Qin Feng, Bai Qiu snorted. She couldn’t possibly have a good expression for the person who took away her Senior Sister Jianli.
Looking around and not seeing anyone else, she asked in a sweet voice, “Hey, just now, besides you guys, were there any other people here?”
“There was also a middle-aged senior wearing a dark blue-black cloak.” Black Charcoal Head replied.
Upon hearing this, Bai Qiu turned around and lightly laughed, “Sister Ningshuang, I told you Master is here.”
“Master?!” Qin Feng and the others widened their eyes, surprised.
The person just now turned out to be Bai Qiu’s Master, the Sect Master of Myriad Sword Sect, the legendary Yue Hexuan!
“Why are you so surprised? Where’s my Master? If you want to ascend Star Moon Peak, you need his approval.” Bai Qiu looked around again but still couldn’t find her Master.
“He suddenly disappeared just now.”
“Ah?” Bai Qiu’s rosy face instantly drooped.
On the Star Moon Peak, in the main hall, inside a mountain pavilion.
The figure of Yue Hexuan suddenly appeared. He walked to the stone table, then with a wave of his right hand, a jar of wine buried in the mountain spring instantly flew into his hand.
From the Spatial Ring, he took out three wine cups, filling each one for them.
Yue Hexuan said, “You are already here, what are you hiding?”
As soon as he finished speaking,
A gray sleeve appeared, and a somewhat wrinkled palm reached out, taking the wine cup; it was none other than the old man Bai Li.
On the other side of the stone table, a strong wind blew, and a man wearing black clothes and a white mask appeared out of thin air.
The faceless man and the old man exchanged glances. The old man’s eyes were a little strange, but he didn’t say anything more and just drank all the wine in the glass.
“Both of you, not staying quietly in the small town, how come you have time to come to me? Could it be to catch up, or perhaps… for my good disciple who is about to face the Heavenly Tribulation?’
“Why ask when you already know?” the old man said in a deep voice.
Yue Hexuan, upon hearing this, also became serious. “Old man, you clearly said back then that she would become the youngest Sword God in history. Coming here this time, is there truly a variable?”
“As for the divination of Liu Jianli being blocked by the Heavenly Secrets, I cannot calculate it either. However, a little fellow did give me a warning, making me think of some issues. Don’t you find it a bit too coincidental when the Purple Divine Thunder Sword appeared?’
With these words, Yue Hexuan frowned. He stood up and walked around in the pavilion. Finally, he made up his mind and said, “Come with me.”
The place they were going was the Sword Tomb of the Myriad Sword Sect.
