Since that day, when Li Taibai fulfilled his disciple's request in Tingzhou and made Mu Qiuhuang agree to terminate the engagement, he rushed to Qinlu alone ahead of Ji Ruoxue.

The reason why he arrived before Ji Ruoxue was because Ji Ruoxue had promised him that when he revealed that her father and she were originally masters, Dao Sword Immortal, only with their consent could Ji Ruoxue officially worship Li Taibai as her master...

...So, Li Taibai wanted to get rid of all these obstacles before Ji Ruoxue.

Li Taibai was not too worried about Ji Yuan, the Marquis of Xilie, because he believed that as long as Ji Yuan knew that his daughter would become his disciple, he would definitely approve with both hands, because no prince would know how to use the sword.

Xianhe's characters were rejected, and what's more, that swordsman was still himself. So the only obstacle was Daojianxian. After all, Daojianxian had a master-disciple relationship with Ji Ruoxue, and he was stepping in.

To put it bluntly, he is competing with Dao Sword Immortal for his apprentice, and he believes that no one would be willing to share a disciple as talented as Ji Ruoxue with others. So...in order to prevent Ji Ruoxue from being in trouble,

He decided to "persuade" Dao Jianxian to agree to this matter in advance... As for how to convince? He had already thought about it. The best way to negotiate between swordsmen was naturally to use swords.

…

Zhujian Cottage is located in a cloudy canyon outside Lucheng. The ridge path leading to Zhujian Cottage is covered with green bamboo and red plum trees. It is the time of late summer and early autumn. Although the red plum trees have not yet bloomed, the green bamboos are.

It's still lush and inviting.

After all, it was his fault that came first, so Li Taibai decided to be polite before fighting. Therefore, he did not directly use his magical power to shrink the ground into an inch, but walked on the bamboo forest path in an orderly manner.

But if you look carefully, you will find that Li Taibai did not walk straight forward along the path, but left and right, and sometimes even walked a few steps backwards... This is not to say that Li Taibai was anything special.

It is taboo, but because the bamboo forest leading to the Zhujian House itself is a sword formation. It is said that when Ji Yuan, the Marquis of Xi Lie, wanted to see the sword immortal Ou Yezi in the past, he would send people in advance to hold a greeting card. After obtaining permission,

, dared to bathe and change clothes and go to Jianlu. In fact, the real reason was because of the sword array in the bamboo forest. He sent someone to visit in advance just to inform him so that Sword Zhuhu could close the sword array in advance when he arrived.

.

However, Li Taibai obviously does not need to be like this. As the leader of the four sword immortals, he is the master among masters when it comes to playing swordsmanship. When he faced the No. 1 sword formation in the world at Wudang Mountain - the Nine Palaces and Bagua Sword Formation, he

He dared to break through forcefully, let alone this mere bamboo forest death formation? And his seemingly erratic pace was because he could see the key to breaking this formation at a glance. Although, he just walked forward without paying any attention to it.

If so, the sword energy contained in the bamboo forest would not be able to hurt him, but in that case, the sword array would be destroyed, and the sword energy would have to be re-carved. Therefore, he chose a more troublesome method, every step of the way.

By stepping on the formation eye, he could pass through the bamboo forest smoothly without damaging the formation inside... And his intention of doing this was to show his goodwill and ability to the other party through this move.

…

Just as Li Taibai was walking slowly in the bamboo forest, Taoist swordsman Ou Yezi, who was leading his disciples to meditate in the sword hut on the top of the mountain, suddenly felt something in his heart. He opened his closed eyes and faced the mountain gate.

Chu opened his mouth and said, "Someone is breaking into the mountain."

I saw Ou Yezi dressed as a Taoist. Compared to Li Taibai, who looked like a banished immortal, and Gu Chenyuan, the crazy swordsman, his appearance was not outstanding, and he was not as tall as the two of them, and even looked a little short.

, maybe because he often forges swords and is exposed to flames for a long time, his skin also looks a little dark... But this is such a person who looks inconspicuous and looks like an ordinary blacksmith when thrown on the street, but he has made great progress.

The threshold that ordinary people cannot touch in their entire lives - in the heavenly realm, he became the Dao Sword Immortal, one of the four great sword immortals.

As Ou Yezi's words rang out, the disciples who were sitting in meditation in front of him opened their eyes one after another and looked towards him... And the disciple on the left was surprisingly the Prince of Xi Lie, Ji Yan, and the siblings of the Ji family.

They all worshiped Taoist Sword Immortal as their disciples when they were young. However, compared to Ji Ruoxue, who was playful and disliked martial arts, Ji Yan was extremely serious about martial arts. When there was nothing going on in the Hou Mansion, she would come to

He learned swordsmanship from Ou Yezi in the Sword Making House, and Ou Yezi also attached great importance to him.

"Master, what kind of person is running into the mountain? Why don't we feel the sword energy in the bamboo forest being released?" Ji Yan looked at Ou Yezi and asked.

The rest of the people also followed Ji Yan's questioning and focused their attention on Ou Yezi, waiting for his answer, because under normal circumstances, anyone who entered uninvited would directly activate the sword formation in the bamboo forest, and the sword

Once the formation is activated, there will definitely be sword energy flowing freely. At that time, they will naturally be able to feel the sword energy on the top of the mountain, but this time, they did not feel even a trace of sword energy.

"The realm of the visitor is not what you can guess. You have never felt the sword energy, but it is because the visitor has a deep understanding of the sword. He can see at a glance where the formation eye of the Bamboo Forest Sword Formation is. If he steps on the formation eye

If it works, the sword energy will not be activated... and the reason why I can feel it is because the sword energy in the bamboo forest is what I have drawn, and I am connected to it..." Ou Yezi said in a confused tone.

He explained hurriedly.

"What kind of person is he? He dares to break into my sword-making house without permission. This clearly shows that he does not take you seriously, Master. Master, please wait for a moment while the disciples go to capture him."

The speaker is a middle-aged man, with a muscular body and a full beard. This man is also Ou Yezi's eldest disciple, Shi Crai. Because of his extremely high level of talent and cultivation, he has already reached the ninth level. In addition, he is a cast member.

Because of his senior brother Jianlu, this person's temper is more violent than many disciples of Zhujianlu.

At this time, as soon as Shi Li's words came out, several more disciples picked up the swords beside them and stood up, echoing: "I am willing to follow my senior brother to take down this person."

"What? Are you still afraid that I can't take down the people on my own?" Shi crack glanced at the few people who stood up.

"Senior brother is joking. We just want to work hard for senior brother. We definitely have no intention of doubting senior brother's cultivation..." Seeing this, those few people quickly explained.

"Humph, it's good to know." Seeing them sitting down, Shi Li didn't say anything more. He picked up the broad sword beside him, stood up, bowed to Ou Yezi and said, "Master, please wait a moment.

, disciples come as they go.”

"Senior brother..." Just when Shi Lai was about to turn around and leave, Ji Yan suddenly shouted.

When Shi Li heard this, he turned around and found out that the speaker was Ji Yan. His tone became a little gentler and he said, "What? Junior brother, do you also want to capture someone for me?"

Ji Yan looked at Ou Yezi, who was smiling and silent, and said, "Senior brother, I have misunderstood. I wish you good luck in catching him."

Hearing this, Shi Lai grinned and said, "Thank you so much, junior brother. Let's wait for the good news about my brother!"

After watching Shi Lai stride away, Ji Yan sat down, looked at Ou Yezi who was smiling and silent, and fell into deep thought.

Ou Yezi also glanced at Ji Yan, but he didn't say anything to her. Instead, he ordered the other disciples: "Go and get all the eight swords made by our master."

"yes."

The other disciples responded and got up and left together. However, they couldn't help but whisper to each other on the way out. The world only knows

Their Taoist Sword Immortal Ou Yezi likes to make swords. Only their direct disciples know that the reason why their master made so many swords is because the highest level of swordsmanship practiced by their master requires him to control so many swords at the same time.

The strange thing is that Ou Yezi has never used force with anyone in his life... And they? Even if Ou Yezi only uses one sword, they are no match. Even the most powerful senior brother Shi Kai can barely withstand two swords.

It's just a sword, but I don't know who it is. It can actually make their master prepare to use eight swords.

When everyone left and only Ji Yan and Ou Yezi were left, Ou Yezi suddenly asked: "What did you want to say just now?"

Ji Yan smiled slightly when she heard this, shook her head and said, "This disciple has roughly guessed Master's intention, so there is no need to ask anymore."

"Oh? Tell me." Ou Yezi said with a smile.

"yes."

Ji Yan thought for a while and said: "Master just said that the realm of the visitor is beyond our ability to guess, and he even asked the brothers to fetch all the eight swords. From this, it can be seen that the visitor must be the same as the Master.

If the disciple's expectations are correct for a person of the same level, the person coming is most likely one of the other three sword immortals?"

"Oh? Why the Sword Immortal? It can't be Zhang Fuling. You must know that he has already entered the realm of heaven." Ou Yezi continued to ask.

"Because of his understanding of the sword, Master just said that he walked with the formation eye and never triggered the sword energy. If he can see through the bamboo forest sword formation at a glance and find the formation eye walker, he must be a swordsman. As we all know, Zhang Fuling practices

It is the 'Chaos Wuji Kung', which has nothing to do with the sword. If not, he should be called the Sword Immortal."

"Yes." Ou Yezi nodded and said, "Your analysis is correct, but what you don't know is that Zhang Fuling actually practiced swordsmanship before; now there are no four great swordsmen in the world, and there are only three swordsmen left!"

"Ah?" Ji Yan couldn't help being shocked when she heard this, and looked at Ou Yezi in shock.

Because, the Beiyuhou Mansion's plan to besiege and kill the Sword Immortal was a top-secret matter, so far, except for the person involved, only a few people who are in the same heaven realm would feel the emotion when he fell.

But before Ji Yan could ask, Ou Yezi continued to ask: "Tell me, why did my master acquiesce in Shi Lai's provocation when he knew that he was no match for him?"

Ji Yan continued to answer: "This is Master's deliberate hardening on Senior Brother."

After taking a look at the direction of the bamboo forest, Ji Yan turned around and continued to explain: "Elder brother's talent in swordsmanship is top-notch, and he is the master's favorite successor, but...elder brother's life has been too smooth in the past years.

, resulting in his excessive impetuousness and extremely conceited character... Therefore, the master deliberately wanted him to be defeated. Since the visitor deliberately walked out of the formation, it can be confirmed that he has no interest in my sword-making house.

Malice, therefore, Senior Brother will be defeated, but his life is not in danger! And after this defeat, Senior Brother’s character will inevitably change..."

"It's a pity, it's such a pity..." After listening to Ji Yan's words, Ou Yezi said two words of pity.

"Master, what do you mean?" Ji Yan asked puzzledly.

Ou Yezi glanced at Ji Yan and said slowly: "It's a pity that you are involved in worldly affairs as Prince Xi Lie... If not, you are more suitable to be the master of the Sword House than Shi Lai."

"Thank you, Master, for the compliment." Ji Yan cupped her hands and thanked her.

At this moment, the disciples came back one after another with swords in their arms.
