My apprentice is too diligent.

Chapter 216 [216] Enlightenment of the Sword Monument, Caught (6-in-[-] [-]k please subscribe)
After entering the top thirty, all the opponents who fought against each other, without exception, understood the meaning of the sword.

He has superb swordsmanship and outstanding swordsmanship.

With her cultivation suppressed, Nan Jinyu could no longer kick her opponent off the stage within a few moves.

The same goes for everyone else.

Each of the eleven arenas has officially entered the fierce sword fighting stage.

Around the ring, crowds of people gathered to watch.

It can be said that every battle is so exciting that people can't watch it for a while.

The most important thing in swordsmanship is killing.

The battle of swordsmanship is extremely lethal.

If you are not careful, you will be severely injured, and it is also a mental level.

The referees dispatched by the Five Cities Sword Sect are all at mid- to late-stage Feitian realm and guard the edge of the ring, ready to intervene at any time to avoid casualties.

Even so, some people were still hit, with fingers, hands, arms broken off, chest and abdomen pierced, and people falling to the ground screaming.

Chen Wuji kept paying attention to Nan Jinyu outside the ring.

It was discovered that the three apprentices were now at full strength, and three of the swordsmanship they had practiced in the past had been perfected.

She has also fully utilized the "Ten Thousand Sword Art". This sword technique has great advantages in a duel environment. Unless the opponent has the upper hand from the beginning, he will be passive and can only resist.

From morning till dark.

After a whole day, it was finally over and the top three were decided.

They are the ranger and Zhong Wuhui from Qiannan Mansion.

Dong Chenguang from Huoyun Mansion and Red Sword Sect.

And, Nan Jinyu from Nanyang and Qianlongmen!

When leaving Doujian Valley, Nan Jinyu stopped Dong Chenguang and Zhong Wuhui.

Nan Jinyu, “Tomorrow’s game only requires two players to play.”

"What do you mean?" Zhong Wuhui, a rough-looking man in his 50s and [-]s, asked in a low voice, "You are injured and can't play?"

"Do not."

Nan Jinyu shook his head, "My goal is only No. 3."

"Aim for third place? You mean, you're going to give up in advance?" Dong Chenguang, a handsome man in his thirties, said in surprise when he heard this.

"Yes."

Nan Jinyu nodded, "I wonder if it's feasible to admit defeat in advance?"

"As long as the Five Cities Sword Sect has no objections, that's fine." Dong Chenguang said with a smile, "Based on past experience, the Five Cities Sword Sect should agree."

After all, almost everyone who participates in the sword competition comes here for fame and fortune.

Who wants to be second if he can be first?

Nan Jinyu gave up in advance, so Dong Chenguang and Zhong Wuhui naturally had no objection.

I asked the person in charge of the Five Cities Sword Sect in Doujian Valley and he had no objection either.

Mainly because Nan Jinyu's name has spread.

City Lord Yunlan and Wen Lunong are the people who are optimistic about it. As long as it is not a big deal, no one will stop it.

then.

Early the next morning, when the situation was announced and the final competition was held, the Sword Fighting Valley was filled with noise.

However, it soon subsided.

As most people think, there are people who are fighting for the first place, many people who are fighting for the second place, and few who are fighting for the third place.

Since Nan Jinyu voluntarily admitted defeat, he obviously took a fancy to the "Sword Enlightenment Monument".

This announced No. 3 reward stone tablet is named "Sword Enlightenment Tablet".

Many people also took a fancy to it.

However, they lost the competition and could only feel jealous.

Neither Dong Chenguang nor Zhong Wuhui wanted it, or in other words, they valued the precious weapon and sword, the Earth Yuan Great Pill, more.

Naturally, the "Sword Enlightenment Monument" will not be competed with Nan Jinyu.

Wait until the last sword fight is over.

Zhong Wuhui defeated Dong Chenguang and won the first place.

The Five Cities Sword Sect announced rewards in public, and Nan Jinyu got the coveted "Sword Enlightenment Monument".

However, as soon as he returned to the inn, five people came to the door.

"I'm here at Dashun Mansion and Aojian Villa, Hu Changtian."

The leading middle-aged man had an extraordinary bearing. He cupped his fists and saluted Nangong Sanniang. Then he looked at Nan Jinyu and said with a smile, "I took the liberty of coming to disturb you. I want to ask Miss Nan if she is willing to give up the 'Sword Enlightenment Monument'." ?”

"We at Aojian Villa are willing to give you two three-turn swords, three human yuan pills, and 5 taels of silver notes!"

"I don't know..."

"Sorry, we need to use the 'Sword Enlightenment Monument' ourselves and will not sell it to others." Nan Jinyu interrupted directly and refused.

"It's just a stone tablet, the price is just that, little girl, don't be too greedy." Behind Hu Changtian, a mean-looking woman said sharply.

"What are you talking about?" Chen Qingning jumped up and shouted, "What do you mean, don't be too greedy? Why are we greedy? The things belong to us. It is up to us to decide whether to sell or not. What does it have to do with you?"

"Sharp teeth and sharp mouth." The woman glanced at Chen Qingning and said softly, "Is this how your Qianlong Sect educates its disciples?"

She looked at Nangong Sanniang with contempt in her eyes.

"How you educate them has nothing to do with you." Nangong Sanniang said coldly, "We will not sell the 'Sword Enlightenment Monument', you can leave."

"It's too little, right..."

"Shut up." Hu Changtian interrupted the woman's sarcasm, smiled apologetically at Nangong Sanniang, Nan Jinyu, and Chen Qingning, clasped his fists and said, "Sorry, let's leave now. However, if Miss Nan is too young, we can If we increase the price, the treasure weapons, swords, and human yuan elixirs remain unchanged, but how about increasing the banknote to 10 taels? However, we don’t have that much money on hand at the moment, and we need to deliver it after we go back."

"no need."

Nan Jinyu said again, "No matter how much you offer, the 'Sword Enlightenment Monument' will not be sold! Do you hear me clearly?"

"you……"

"I heard you clearly." Hu Changtian pulled the woman behind him and said apologetically, "In that case, I won't bother you anymore and I'll take my leave."

"go!"

He grabbed the woman and left quickly.

The other three followed closely behind.

Chen Qingning watched them walk out of the inn and frowned, "What kind of cultivation are these guys? They won't cause trouble later, right?"

"do not worry."

A voice suddenly sounded in the minds of the three of them.

"Master!"

Chen Qingning was pleasantly surprised and looked around.

"The teacher is outside the town."

Chen Wuji calmly sent a message through the air, "It's nothing to worry about the guys who were looking for you just now. You guys pack up and come to the hilltop on the east side of the town. Master is waiting here."

"Yes, Master!"

Chen Qingning and Nan Jinyu responded in unison.

Nangong Sanniang breathed a sigh of relief.

The next moment, the three people quickly packed up their greetings, left the inn, and headed straight out of the town.

Rushing to the top of the mountain on the east side, he saw Chen Wuji standing on the top of the mountain with his hands behind his back.

"Master!"

"Sect Master!"

Chen Qingning and Nan Jinyu shouted cordially.

Nangong Sanniang saluted respectfully.

"Ah."

Chen Wuji nodded calmly, "I will take you back to the mountain, just relax."

"Go back to the mountain? Fly back?" Chen Qingning was overjoyed when she heard this.

Chen Wuji didn't respond, just glanced at the southwest skyline.

Then, the Bridge of Divine Consciousness was released, pulling the power of heaven and earth, and turned into a whirlwind, surrounding Chen Qingning, Nangong Sanniang, and Nan Jinyu.

Lift up directly from the ground and rush into the sky!
call!
Call ~
The strong wind howled, sweeping across the heaven and earth.

Chen Wuji flew through the sky with one belt and three, heading east first, leaving the territory of the Five Cities Sword Sect.

Go further north and return to Nanyang Mansion.

During the whole process, Chen Qingning and Nan Jinyu were in a state of confusion.

Nangong Sanniang was shocked, then excited.

God Bridge Realm!
Chen Wuji is actually in the Divine Bridge Realm!
Only in the Divine Bridge Realm can one use the Bridge of Divine Consciousness to pull the power of heaven and earth and carry people to fly easily without consuming real energy or too much concentration.

Nangong Sanniang was shocked.

Wen Lunong, who followed behind, was equally surprised.

"Shenqiao..."

"Nan Jinyu's master, the master of Qianlong Sect, is actually from the Shenqiao realm!?"

"Moreover, the power of the Bridge of Divine Consciousness has reached at least the mid-stage of Divine Bridge..."

After the shock, he smiled bitterly.

"No wonder..."

No wonder Nan Jinyu refused to accept her as her teacher again!
The current master is already in the Shenqiao realm.

It is still a Shenqiao realm with a rather mysterious background. Without special circumstances, it is really not worthwhile to become a disciple.

In the past two days, Wen Lunong has read the information on Nanyang Mansion and Qianlongmen.

The master of Qianlongmen, Chen Wuji, has someone behind him.

That's for sure.

Wen Lunong originally thought that this backer was only in the Shenqiao realm.

As it turns out, Chen Wuji himself is Shenqiao.

What will be the realm of the backer behind it?
Shenhai?

Or above the divine sea...

As the city lord of Yunlan City and one of the top ten elders of the Five Cities Sword Sect, Wen Lunong is not afraid of people with mysterious origins.

But he won't antagonize the other party because of this.

of course.

Wen Lunong never thought of using strong methods to keep Nan Jinyu.

At first, he followed Nan Jinyu out of the town for protection.

When I met Chen Wuji later, I really thought about persuading him at first.

result……

"That's it!"

……

"No more?"

In the air, Chen Wuji sensed that the sight behind him disappeared.

After a while, the person disappeared.

I thought to myself, "This warm dew is not bad."

The other party followed him for dozens of miles and never showed any malice. It was more like an escort.

Chen Wuji's sense of warmth and dew could be said to be pretty good.

It is very rare for a master in the Shenqiao realm to be able to do this.

call!
Call ~
The external strong wind swept across, roaring to heaven and earth.

The energy inside is swirling and flying through the air.

Without being distracted and alert to others, Chen Wuji led Nangong Sanniang, Nan Jinyu, and Chen Qingning at a speed that immediately soared.

Under the guidance of the Bridge of Divine Consciousness, the power of heaven and earth continuously blessed the four of them.

Except for a few areas, which took most of the circle, the rest of the way went straight.

More than half an hour later, the four of them returned to Qingniu Mountain.

This was the time it took Chen Wuji not to use the "Ten Thousand Miles of Cloud Tracing Technique".

"Ten Thousand Miles of Cloud Tracing Technique" can lead people on the road, but it is not possible for the time being.

Transform your body into clouds.

Chen Wuji hasn't completely mastered it yet, so how can he lead others.

……

"Master, the ancient characters on this 'Sword Enlightenment Monument' record three words."

Qingniu Mountain, Back Mountain, Nan Jinyu looked at the simple stone tablet placed on the ground, pointed to the lines on it, and explained, "This is the word 'xiu', this is the word 'fa', and this is the word 'empty'. "

Cultivation, Dharma, and Emptiness?

What do you mean?
What is the special connection between the three words?
Chen Wuji concentrated.

There is no special guidance on the simple stone tablet that records the characters of the Sword Clan. If you want to understand it, most people really can't do it.

"Lao San, take it for enlightenment."

Chen Wuji raised his hand, "Remember, keep it secret and don't tell anyone." "Yes, Master!"

Nan Jinyu saluted, released his true energy, wrapped the stone tablet and held it up.

"The disciple retire."

After saying this, Nan Jinyu left with the stone tablet.

Chen Wuji stayed where he was, thinking for a moment.

Shaking his head, he walked back to the training room, lit the remaining dragon soul incense, and used his skills to improve his cultivation.

Stepping into the Shenqiao realm, each level of breakthrough requires a lot of consumption.

It's not time, it's medicine, and it's medicine for the soul.

The dragon soul incense made from the nine-leaf nightshade flower is this kind of precious medicine.

Unfortunately, quantities are limited.

Chen Wuji believes that over the past 100 years, Shijiabao has grown more nightshade flowers than what Shi Yuantu mentioned, but not more than thirty.

It's already good to be able to get ten of them and know how to use Dragon Soul Incense.

It is impossible to really fall out with Shijiabao over this.

Relying on the Dragon Soul Incense, Chen Wuji advanced to the fourth level of the Divine Bridge Realm.

The ancestor of the Shi family thought the same thing.

Of course, when it comes to the power of spiritual consciousness, Chen Wuji still surpasses him.

……

White River City.

Chen Kee Restaurant.

"Sir, the shop is closing, do you think it's going to be closed?"

The shopkeeper walked to the last table with a smile on his face, bowed slightly, and spoke gently to a handsome middle-aged man who was pouring himself a drink and with long hair hanging down his shoulders.

"It's about to close."

The middle-aged man drank another glass of wine, raised his eyebrows lightly, and said with a chuckle, "Time flies so fast, another day has passed in the blink of an eye."

"Yes, yes." The shopkeeper agreed, "If you like our wine, you can take some back and drink it slowly. Of course, you can also come over tomorrow and continue drinking. Our store can temporarily store the opened wine. This seat , you can also make a reservation so that you, the guest, can sit alone."

"Haha."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I appreciate the shopkeeper's kindness. Since it's about to close, I won't wait any longer. Shopkeeper, please go and tell Miss Han behind you. If I have anything to discuss with her, I'll discuss it with her."

"Are you looking for the second girl?" The shopkeeper's expression changed slightly.

"Yes." The middle-aged man poured another glass of wine and tasted it slowly, "I came to Baihe City specifically to see Miss Han. If Miss Han doesn't come, I will sit there until dawn and keep waiting."

"...Okay, sir, please wait a moment."

The shopkeeper's expression changed, and finally he clasped his fists, turned around and left quickly.

The middle-aged man continued to pour himself a glass of wine.

After a while.

Han Ying came and entered the lobby.

"I don't know what your surname is, sir. Why do you want to find a little girl?"

Standing at the table, Han Ying looked at the middle-aged man and asked calmly.

"My surname is Hu, Hu Changkong."

The middle-aged man put down his wine glass, looked up at Han Ying, raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile, "Miss Han is indeed the right disciple of Master Chen. She manages the affairs of the restaurant in an orderly manner, without any chaos inside and outside. What's more..."

"Mr. Hu, please tell me if you have anything to say." Han Ying interrupted, "Our store is about to close. Mr. Hu should finish his words quickly and go back to rest early."

"……also."

Hu Changkong smiled hoarsely, "In that case, would you please Miss Han come with me?"

"Leave?" Han Ying raised her eyebrows.

"nature."

Hu Changkong sat still, and a huge coercion belonging to the late Feitian realm was released.

In an instant, it enveloped the entire lobby and the entire Chenji Restaurant!

……

Qingniu Mountain.

Practice secret room.

Whoosh~
The last ray of fragrance floats in the air and is absorbed.

Chen Wuji, who was sitting cross-legged without moving, was running the "Nine Heavens Dragon Yin Technique" and silently refining it.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, traces of soul power were born and condensed into a ball.

The silent Qi machine filled the spacious secret room.

Under the pressure of invisible forces, the four walls have a faint tendency to dent as a whole.

Buzz!

Space trembles.

After a while, all kinds of oppression and trembling disappeared, and the secret practice room returned to silence.

"A little bit."

There is still one last step left before the completion of the fourth level of Shenqiao.

This, without external help, would require three to five years of hard work.

Call ~
Taking a deep breath, Chen Wuji calmed his mind, stopped exercising, and regained his composure.

There was no rush to leave the secret room, and he closed his eyes to consolidate his cultivation.

After a long time, Chen Wuji got up and came out.

"Moo~!"

The little green cow standing guard outside the house in the yard raised its head and shouted to Chen Wuji.

"I'm very good."

Chen Wuji strolled over and patted Xiao Qing Niu on the head, "Xiao Qing, you don't have to stay with me all day long. Just like before, you can go wherever you want."

"Moo~!"

The little green cow flicked its tail and called out.

"That's fine, it's up to you."

Chen Wuji shook his head and laughed, without forcing it.

"Master, Master, you can come out."

Su Dayong's urgent shout came from outside.

When Chen Wuji walked out, he saw Su Dayong rushing to the gate.

"Calm down."

Putting his hands behind his back, Chen Wuji shouted softly, "I have told you several times, master, don't panic when something happens, stay calm!"

"Yes, Master, my disciple is wrong."

Su Dayong apologized hurriedly, and then said urgently, "Master, the second junior sister has been kidnapped!"

"Kidnapping?" Chen Wuji calmly opened the sub-panel and checked Han Ying's information.

No injuries or serious injuries.

The current location is indeed not in Baihe City, nor on Qingniu Mountain.

It is located on Maotou Mountain, thirty miles southwest of Baihe City.

"Tell me in detail."

Chen Wuji stepped forward.

"Yes, Master."

Su Dayong followed, took a deep breath, calmed down, and quickly explained, "Three days ago, someone suddenly sent a letter to the gate of the mountain. After I got it, I opened it and saw that it was the second junior sister who had been raped in the restaurant. Take it away."

"If we want to redeem her, we have to exchange it for the 'Sword Enlightenment Monument'. The agreed time is the morning of the day after tomorrow, and the location is Maotou Mountain."

"At first, I thought it was a prank. Unexpectedly, the owner of the restaurant ran to the mountain gate and cried bitterly that the second junior sister was really taken away."

"And tell me that the person who kidnapped Second Junior Sister is a middle-aged man named Hu Changkong!"

Hu Changkong?
Hu Changtian?
Exchange it for "Sword Enlightenment Monument"?

Dashun Mansion, Aojian Villa!
I thought that people from this force had given up coveting the "Sword Enlightenment Monument".

Who would have thought that the other party would come directly to Baihe City and capture Han Ying!
The Shenxu Sword Qi in Han Ying's Dantian can withstand three blows even in the Shenqiao realm.

However, if the opponent has no killing intention and does not use a killing move against Han Ying, the Shenxu Sword Qi will not be triggered.

This led to Han Ying being arrested, but she was still fine.

……

"Master, it must be someone from that mountain villa who did it!"

Arriving at the front mountain, when Chen Qingning saw Chen Wuji, she shouted indignantly, "It's too much. Those people have gone too far. If the purchase fails, they come to Baihe City, kidnap the second senior sister, and threaten us to hand over the 'Sword Enlightenment Monument'" , these people are too much!”

"Master, Second Senior Sister is important, take the 'Sword Enlightenment Monument' first."

Nan Jinyu followed.

The ancient stone tablet is placed in the center of the hall.

"Master, I have been to Maotou Mountain. There are indeed people guarding the mountain. However, just in case, I did not come close." Wang Ruoxu continued.

"Master, regarding the information about Aojian Villa, senior brother and I went to Baihe City and bought it from Fengyun Tower."

Chen Yifan said quickly, "Aojian Villa is very powerful in Dashun Mansion. There are seven people in the Feitian Realm in the Villa. There is an old village owner in the Shenqiao Realm in the Feitian Realm. Thirteen years ago, this old village owner When I took action, I was at the first level of Shenqiao Realm."

"In addition, Aojian Villa and the Governor's Mansion in Dashun have a close relationship. They have been married for two generations."

"Hu Changkong, who kidnapped Second Senior Sister, married Li Qianlin, the governor of Dashun Prefecture and Li Qianshan's biological brother, and gave birth to a pair of children."

"Li Qianshan's daughter, Li Mingle, married Hu Changtian's son five years ago."

"Hu Changtian is the third owner of Aojian Villa, and he is half-brother to the current owner, Hu Changqian."

"and also……"

In one narration, all the relevant circumstances of Aojian Villa were revealed.

Finally, the group looked at Chen Wuji, waiting for Chen Wuji to make a decision.

"You don't have to go."

Chen Wuji always remained calm and said calmly, "If I go alone as a teacher, it will be enough to bring back the second child."

"This..." Su Dayong, Chen Qingning, Chen Yifan and others blinked.

"Then bring the 'Sword Enlightenment Monument' with you." Nan Jinyu said.

"No need for a 'Sword Enlightenment Monument'."

Chen Wuji shook his head, turned around, and walked slowly, "It's just Hu Changkong, nothing to worry about."

As he spoke, he stepped into the void and headed towards higher ground.

"Don't go down the mountain until your master comes back."

Without saying a word, Chen Wuji turned into a cloud and disappeared into the sky.

"Yes, Master!"

……

Maotoushan.

Chen Wuji flew over in the air, and when he landed on the top of the mountain, he saw a middle-aged man with long hair hanging down his shoulders, standing on a huge rock with his hands behind his back, looking into the sky.

Not far behind the middle-aged man, Han Ying was sitting on a stone with a depressed face.

It wasn't until he saw Chen Wuji that he stood up, waved his hands and shouted excitedly, "Master, be careful of this guy, this guy named Hu is extremely insidious!"

"Haha, Miss Han is joking. Has Hu ever touched a hair on your face in the past few days?"

Hu Changkong turned around slightly, looked at Chen Wuji, and said with a smile, "Clan Master Chen, I've been waiting for you, how are you thinking about it?"

"consider?"

Chen Wuji said calmly, "What are you considering?"

"Of course in exchange for the 'Sword Enlightenment Monument'."

Hu Changkong frowned, "Master Chen, please don't tell me that you didn't bring the 'Sword Enlightenment Monument' with you?"

"Why bring it?" Chen Wuji asked.

"Ok?"

The smile on Hu Changkong's face remained unchanged, but his eyes turned cold, "So, Master Chen is planning to give up Miss Han as his disciple for the sake of the 'Sword Enlightenment Monument'?"

"Your Excellency is joking."

Chen Wuji still looked calm, "My apprentice, when did you need to exchange chips?"

"Yeah yeah."

Han Ying dodged a few times, circled half a circle, and jumped behind Chen Wuji.

Hu Changkong's eyes suddenly widened.

"impossible!"

His face was full of astonishment, his eyes widened, staring at Han Ying, and shouted, "When did the restriction on you be released!?"

"Of course it was just now."

Chen Wuji smiled calmly.

boom!
The majestic pressure belonging to the Shenqiao realm suddenly descended on Hu Changkong's head.
