The annual Sword Marquis Token Battle was over.
In the battle, Jian Meng 'er, a peerless genius who had been anticipated by everyone, had indeed shown amazing talent. However, no one had expected that her brilliance would be completely overshadowed by another person.
Jian Wushuang was just an ordinary person without any Spiritual Qi two months ago. However, in the battle two months later, not only did he defeat Jian Meng 'er, but he also defeated Jian Meng' er's Senior Brother, Ye Mo, who had reached the Exceptional Spiritual Sea Realm.
He was a real monster!
He was even more of a monster than Jian Meng 'er.
For a time, the whole Sword Marquis Mansion, and even the whole Bashui Commandery, was talking about Jian Wushuang enthusiastically.
In the prefectural city of Bashui Commandery, the silver-haired old man in a grey robe, Elder Hong, walked through the streets and alleys alone. Finally, he came to a deserted alley. There was a simple wine shop in the alley. This wine shop had been in the prefectural city for some years, but usually, no one would come here to buy wine. The entire wine shop only had the lady boss.
Elder Hong walked into the wine shop and glanced at the proprietress at the counter. Without saying anything, he went directly into the inner hall to wait.
Not long after, the proprietress of the wine shop, who was also the middle-aged woman who still had a hint of grace, walked in.
"Old Blind, how long has it been since you came here in person? It has been two years, right?" The middle-aged woman smiled.
"I'm here today for a very important matter." Elder Hong looked dignified.
"Can't you come here for no reason? You're really heartless. "The middle-aged woman smiled faintly and then asked," Tell me, what's the matter? "
Elder Hong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Young Master has awakened his Sword Soul!"
"What?" The middle-aged woman, who was very calm a moment ago, immediately became very serious.
If Jian Wushuang were here to hear how Elder Hong addressed him, he would definitely be very surprised.
One must know that Elder Hong had always addressed him as Young Pavilion Master since he was young. However, it had now become Young Master.
"Sword Soul! The Sword Ancestor's Soul! " The middle-aged woman said solemnly, "I didn't expect that after Master awakened his Sword Soul, Young Master also awakened his Sword Soul. Both father and son awakened their Sword Soul at the same time. This is simply unbelievable!"
"It's inconceivable, but it happened." Elder Hong said, "Although the awakening of the Sword Soul brings great benefits to the young master, it is also accompanied by disaster. If I'm not wrong, the people in that place must have noticed the awakening of the young master's Sword Soul at the first moment. Their people will soon take action against the young master."
"Attack Young Master? Just like how you dealt with Master back then? "The middle-aged woman's eyes were filled with killing intent.
"That's right. That's why we have to act immediately." Elder Hong's voice was solemn. He immediately took out a letter from his bosom and said, "Leave immediately and give this letter to the person in Golden-dragon Palace. Tell her to come here as soon as possible."
"Okay." The middle-aged woman nodded solemnly. After receiving the letter, she set off without any delay.
At the same time, in Qingdong County of Tianyan Province, in a slightly dim secret room.
In front of the candlelight, a purple-robed man looked solemn as he quickly browsed through the letters on the table.
Suddenly, the door of the secret room was opened and a black-robed man quickly ran in.
"Hall Master, urgent order!" The black-robed man respectfully handed a letter to the purple-robed man.
The purple-robed man opened the letter and the first thing he saw was a blood-red token. On the front of the token, there was a clear blood-red "Kill" character carved on it.
"Scarlet Kill Command!" The purple-robed man was shocked.
The organization that the purple-robed man belonged to was extremely powerful. In the entire Tianzong Dynasty, it could be said that people who heard of it would turn pale. There were many kinds of orders at the top of their organization, such as the Bronze Kill Command, the Silver Kill Command, and the Golden Kill Command. However, the Scarlet Kill Command was the supreme order of their organization. Only the mysterious leader of their organization was qualified to issue it.
The Scarlet Kill Command meant that they could pay any price as long as they could kill the other party. Even if all the assassins were killed, they would not hesitate to issue it.
Since the establishment of their organization, the Scarlet Kill Command had only been issued a few times.
"Pass down the order. Tell all the assassins above the 'Silver Mask' level to come back immediately. No matter what they are doing now, even if they have accepted the task, immediately give up the task or postpone it. In short, if they don't come back within three days after receiving the order, they will all be killed!" The purple-robed man said coldly.
"Yes." The black-robed man nodded respectfully.
The purple-robed man continued to read the letter.
"Bashui Commandery, Sword Marquis Mansion, Jian Wushuang …"
"From today on, monitor the target's every move. Before we take action, we must not let him out of our sight!"
…
In Sword Marquis Mansion, five days had passed since the end of the battle.
In these five days, a total of two major events had happened in Sword Marquis Mansion.
The first was that the Mansion Master, Jian Xinhong, personally appointed Jian Wushuang as the new Sword Pavilion Master.
No one in Sword Marquis Mansion was surprised by this. After all, two months ago, Jian Xinhong appointed Jian Wushuang as the Sword Pavilion Master and planned to hold the inauguration ceremony after the battle. However, in the battle, Jian Wushuang was directly defeated by Jian Wushuang in front of so many people. Moreover, Jian Wushuang was a member of Sword Pavilion and his swordsmanship was unparalleled in the world. Obviously, he was more convincing than Jian Meng 'er to take over as the Sword Pavilion Master.
As for the second matter, Jian Lan, the Great Elder of Red Martial Hall, resigned from his position after the battle and left Sword Marquis Mansion to travel around.
This matter caused a great commotion in Sword Marquis Mansion, but it was understandable.
After the battle, because of Jian Meng 'er's talent, no one would say anything about her. Moreover, she had followed her Master to the Tianyuan Sword Sect to practice. However, Jian Lan became a joke in Sword Marquis Mansion. Many people secretly ridiculed him. Jian Lan also knew that it was a good choice to resign from his position as the Great Elder and leave Sword Marquis Mansion.
In the courtyard, Jian Wushuang was practicing swordsmanship alone.
The sword light flashed and was confusing.
After a long time, Jian Wushuang withdrew his sword and stood there.
"Five days have passed. I didn't expect that my body has not fully recovered." Jian Wushuang secretly sighed.
The Soul-Devouring Secret Skill was too harmful to the body. After performing it, the body had been in an extremely weak state. Now, five days had passed, but he still had not recovered to the peak.
"Well." Jian Wushuang suddenly raised his head and looked at the gate of the courtyard. Four old figures had come in. They were the Four Great Elders of Sword Pavilion led by Elder Hong.
