In the main hall of the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect.
Daoist Siji looked at the crowd calmly.
"Although the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet this time has little to do with the Ten Nations Academy, I have received a secret report that Jin Nation has sent hundreds of Sword Dao masters to investigate two matters."
"The first is the case of the Seven Treasures Bottle."
"The second is the matter of the Jin Nation Academy."
"The Ten Nations Academy is about to open, and elites from all over the Ten Nations will be selected. However, it will take some time. Apart from some of the elites who have already been selected, the king of Jin Nation intends to select some seedlings from the 33 states and send them to the Jin Nation Academy."
"In the end, ten true elites will be nurtured in about a year and sent to the Ten Nations Academy."
Daoist Siji explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly.
The expressions of the people in the main hall were all astonished.
"Sect Leader, in other words, the imperial court of Jin Nation will send Sword Dao powerhouses to inspect and supervise the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet this time? Select good seeds? "
Some of the elders understood and said like this.
"Yes." Daoist Siji nodded and then continued, "Besides, I already know who it is."
Daoist Siji said with a solemn expression.
As soon as he said that, everyone exclaimed in surprise.
"Who is it?"
"In the past, Jin Nation would indeed send out many capable people to search for outstanding elites in Jin Nation so that they could be roped in to join the academy, all for the sake of entering the Ten Nations Academy. However, such capable people are all arrogant and good at disguising themselves."
"Sometimes, they would go to a certain place and even conceal their identities for decades. They don't care about fame and fortune and they would wholeheartedly work for Jin Nation. Sect Leader, how did you find out who the inspector is?"
The elders were completely shocked.
Among the Ten Nations, Jin Nation might not be very strong, but it was still a nation.
In the world of immortal cultivation, the relationship between the sects and the imperial court was extremely subtle. The imperial court allowed the establishment of the sects, and the major sects also accepted it. As long as it did not involve the core, the two would cooperate with each other to protect the world.
However, the status of the imperial court was slightly higher than that of the immortal sects. It was not that the sects were inferior, but rather, the two were completely different. Unless it was an immortal sect that transcended above, the number of people in a sect would be no more than 100,000. However, the imperial court had more than 100,000 people.
Of course, it also depended on what sect the imperial court was up against.
If it was the best immortal sect in Jin Nation, the imperial court of Jin Nation would naturally have to be polite to it. However, the best sect in Qingzhou had a certain level of influence, but it was not enough to surpass the imperial court.
In the eyes of the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect, the imperial court of Jin Nation was a domineering existence, and it was hard for the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect to find out what such an existence did. However, they didn\'t expect Daoist Siji to actually discover the existence of the supervisor.
How could the elders not be excited?
If one were to find out in advance, it wouldn't be a bad thing to bribe the other party. Even if they didn't provoke the other party, it would be good enough. If they could win the favor of the other party, it would be beneficial to the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect.
After all, these supervisors were all top-notch powerhouses, and not some useless good-for-nothings.
All the elders were shocked.
Daoist Siji did not say anything and simply extended his hand.
In an instant, a scroll appeared in his hand.
Then, the scroll unfolded, and a mountain peak sunset view was reflected in everyone's eyes.
The scene of the painting was very beautiful. Everyone present was an elder who had lived for hundreds of years. Apart from cultivating, they would spend most of their time having fun.
They might not be proficient in zither, chess, poetry, and painting, but they at least had some literary knowledge. Hence, they could naturally tell at a glance that the painting was extremely beautiful.
"The painting is superb and can even be considered a master of the nation. The sunset is vivid and lifelike, especially the person in the painting. He has the ethereal, indifferent, and beautiful aura of a Sword Cultivator. It\'s a good painting, a good painting."
"No, no, no, it\'s not just a good painting. Look at the person in the painting, he looks like a Sword Immortal. He doesn\'t have any sharpness at all, but he gives me the feeling that he\'s sharp. It contains sword intent."
"At first, I just thought that this painting was not bad, but after hearing what you said, it seems to be true."
"The more I look at this painting, the more I\'m shocked. The person in the painting doesn\'t have a full face, but only part of his side profile can be seen. Yet, it vividly shows the posture of a Sword Immortal."
"Sect Leader, what do you mean?"
"What does this painting represent? Could it be … "
The elders were all filled with curiosity.
Some elders seemed to have guessed something.
"Yes, the man in this painting is the Sword Dao powerhouse sent by the king of Jin Nation."
Daoist Siji said with a solemn expression.
As soon as he said that, everyone exclaimed in shock.
"Really?"
"Sect Leader, what\'s the basis for that?"
"Yes, this person does look like an expert, but he\'s so young. It doesn\'t seem possible, does it?"
"Yes, Sect Leader, have you misunderstood?"
Everyone spoke up one after another, feeling that it was a little unrealistic.
However, Daoist Siji shook his head and looked at the elders with disappointment in his eyes.
"Superficial, superficial, you guys are really too superficial."
Daoist Siji was a little helpless, and there was disappointment in his eyes.
The elders were a little confused, but they dared not say anything. After all, Daoist Siji had a high status in their hearts. Besides, the painting was indeed different, so they were very curious.
"Do you know who painted this painting?"
Daoist Siji asked.
"Householder Qing Lian. I\'ve heard a little about him. He\'s a famous scholar in Jin Nation, and it\'s said that even the king of Jin Nation likes his works very much. However, he has disappeared recently."
One of the elders who knew a little about it told him about the origin of the painter.
"Yes." Daoist Siji nodded and then said with a serious expression.
"The painter is Householder Qing Lian. Although I\'ve never met him, he\'s extremely talented. Not only does the king of Jin Nation like his poems, but it\'s said that some of the nobles of Jin Nation are also very fond of his writings."
"Householder Qing Lian disappeared completely half a year ago. Think about it, where did he go?"
Daoist Siji said.
"Could he have joined a small sect to cultivate immortality?"
An elder made a guess.
"Impossible, Householder Qing Lian is extremely famous, how can he join a small sect? If he\'s willing to join the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect, I\'d rather overstep my authority and take him in as a disciple. "
"That's right. How could such a talented person enter a sect?"
"Oh, I know. Sect Leader, Householder Qing Lian has already been summoned by the imperial court, right?"
Many people denied the first elder\'s conjecture, and some also thought that he had been summoned by the imperial court.
After hearing his words, Daoist Siji nodded.
"Yes, Householder Qing Lian is extremely talented and he\'s sought after by the nobles of Jin Nation. Naturally, he was summoned by the king of Jin Nation."
"In Jin Nation, there is a peerless swordsman who was once a genius of the Ten Nations Academy. However, for some reason, he was expelled from the Ten Nations Academy and eventually came to Jin Nation to become the inspector commander."
"This person is extremely extraordinary and is highly valued by the king. After Householder Qing Lian was summoned, he clearly met him once, and Householder Qing Lian must have been amazed by his aura, so he painted a portrait for him."
"Of course, it\'s also possible that the king of Jin Nation asked Householder Qing Lian to paint for him."
"This powerhouse doesn\'t like to show his face, but he can\'t deny the king, so he ended up painting a side profile."
Daoist Siji\'s analysis was logical.
However, in the end, a voice full of doubts sounded.
"Sect Leader, this is all your speculation, do you have any actual proof?"
It was an elder who believed in Daoist Siji, but he felt that something was amiss.
However, Daoist Siji sneered and then patted the painting.
In the next moment, a terrifying sword momentum appeared.
