Seeing that Xia Chenxi and the others were ready to go to Qingshan Town with Lu Xuan, Xia Ye immediately said to her, "Chenxi, I won't go with you. I'll go home first."
Xia Chenxi said softly, "Tell my father that I'll come back when I'm done."
Xia Ye nodded and then turned to say goodbye to Lu Xuan before leaving.
As Xia Ye walked away, Ninth Uncle said, "Sun Yunsheng has left with Longtai's body. It's very likely that he's going to Ryūka. Let's not delay any longer. Let's go."
Lu Xuan naturally had no objection. After being reminded by Xia Chenxi, he was also worried about his father and sister, for fear that something might happen to them.
"Qingshan Town is a distance from Lin City. Let's take my carriage together. It'll be much faster." Xia Chenxi suggested.
Everyone agreed readily. Although Ninth Uncle and Elder Xu could fly in the air, Lu Xuan and the others could only travel in a hurry.
Under Xia Chenxi's instruction, a guard of the Castellan Mansion quickly drove the carriage that Xia Chenxi was in. Ninth Uncle, Elder Xu, Xia Chenxi, Lin Xinyi, Lu Xuan, and Yao Lei boarded the carriage one after another.
Lu Xuan didn't feel anything, but Yao Lei was very excited. This was the carriage of the Castellan Mansion. He had never thought that he could ride in it in his life. This time, he got a free ride because of Lu Xuan.
Xia Chenxi's carriage not only looked very gorgeous and noble, but also was spacious and comfortable inside. It didn't seem crowded at all when six people sat in it.
Following Xia Chenxi's order, the guard who was responsible for driving the carriage immediately drove the carriage in the direction of Qingshan Town. After leaving the town, the speed of the carriage increased. It was more than three times faster than ordinary carriages!
The carriage was not pulled by ordinary horses, but four Snow Dragon Horses, which were excellent in both speed and appearance.
The carriage sped all the way to Qingshan Town. In the carriage, Elder Xu took the initiative to talk to Lu Xuan.
"Lu Xuan, your powers of comprehension are the best I've ever seen in so many years. Your talent in swordsmanship, in particular, can be considered monstrous. I believe that you'll be focusing on swordsmanship in the future, right?"
Lu Xuan nodded. He didn't know if it was because of his own natural talent or the existence of the Sword Crystal, but he felt very close to the sword. Otherwise, he wouldn't have touched the threshold of Sword Intent so quickly. If he didn't make use of such great natural talent, then Lu Xuan would absolutely be an idiot.
When he saw Lu Xuan nod, Elder Xu couldn't help but laugh heartily, "Since it's like that, looks like our Sword Sect is going to welcome a peerless genius. The heavens have pity on us, and our Sword Sect finally sees hope to rise again!"
When he heard Elder Xu say this, Ninth Uncle couldn't help but interrupt, "After so many years, the Sword Sect is still as poor as it was in the past?"
"Alas, yes, it's even worse than when you were here. Now, the Wind Sword School doesn't live up to its name." Elder Xu sighed, and then he became happy again, "However, now that we have Lu Xuan, the Sword Sect will definitely rise again!"
Their words made Lu Xuan confused. Isn't the Wind Sword School Wind Sword School? What is the Sword Sect?
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan couldn't help but ask, "Elder Xu, I know very little about the Wind Sword School. Please enlighten me."
As soon as Lu Xuan said this, even Yao Lei and Lin Xinyi pricked up their ears and listened carefully. They were going to enter the Wind Sword School soon. If Elder Xu could tell them something, it would undoubtedly be more convenient in the future.
Hearing this, Elder Xu stroked his long beard and said, "Even if you didn't ask, I would have told you clearly. Although the Wind Sword School has the word 'sword' in its name, after such a long period of development, the Sword Sect doesn't only focus on sword cultivation, but is divided into several sub-sects, and each sub-sect focuses on a weapon."
"Currently, the Wind Sword School has a total of nine sub-sects, namely sword, saber, spear, halberd, axe, hammer, bow, stick, whip, lance, fist, claw, and Occult. The nine sub-sects include all kinds of weapons."
When she heard this, Lin Xinyi couldn't help but interrupt. "The Wind Sword Sect was established with the sword all those years ago, so it should be the strongest. Elder, why does it seem like the Sword Sect isn't doing as you wish?"
Hearing this, Elder Xu smiled bitterly, "Not only is it not doing well, the Sword Sect has now fallen to the bottom of the nine sects."
As soon as he said this, except for the Ninth Uncle, everyone was shocked. Obviously, they didn't expect the status of the Sword Sect to be so low. It was a little unbelievable.
Lu Xuan said aloud, "As far as I know, in the entire Lin City, there are the most warriors who practice swordsmanship, so the number of people who enter the Sword Sect is also the highest. How did it fall to such a state?"
Everyone nodded. What Lu Xuan said was indeed the truth. At this moment, in the carriage, besides Yao Lei who decided to practice saber at the last minute, Lu Xuan, Xia Chenxi, Lin Xinyi, and Xia Ye, who had just left, were all practicing swordsmanship. This ratio was very high.
"Indeed, every time the entrance examination ends, it is the period when the Sword Sect is the most popular. However, in less than half a year, these new disciples will successively enter the remaining sub-sects."
Pausing for a moment, Elder Xu continued, "All of you should know that the sword is the weapon of geniuses. Those who practice swordsmanship test their comprehension ability the most. If their comprehension ability is insufficient, then no matter how much effort they put in, it will still be half the result. Unlike other weapons, be it a saber or a spear, as long as they are willing to put in hard work, even if they are unable to achieve great success in martial arts, they will still be able to possess extraordinary strength."
"However, the comprehension ability of most martial artists is only mediocre. How could it be so easy to find a martial artist with excellent comprehension ability? Even if you find one, that person might not want to practice swordsmanship. It is precisely because of this that many disciples who have just entered the Sword Sect discover that their progress is unsatisfactory after training for half a year. Instead, they are successively surpassed by the disciples who have entered the remaining sub-sects. Thus, these people choose to give up on the Sword Sect and join other sub-sects."
"Twenty years, an entire twenty years, my Sword Sect has not been able to produce a single genius. In every Grand Sect Competition, my Sword Sect has become weaker and weaker, until three years ago, when we completely fell to the last place. After all, the resources of a sect are limited, and the higher a sect's ranking is, the more resources they will obtain. Since the Sword Sect has fallen to the last place, the resources they will obtain are naturally the least. This undoubtedly caused more and more disciples to give up on the Sword Sect, and we have fallen into a vicious cycle that we are unable to break free from."
Elder Xu's voice reverberated within the carriage. Lu Xuan was silent as well. From Elder Xu's words, Lu Xuan was able to discern a deep sigh, and it was a type of extreme yearning towards geniuses!
Lu Xuan took a deep breath and said, "I'm not sure if I'm the genius that Elder speaks of, but I will surely do my best and cultivate diligently. I swear that I will establish a completely new situation for the Sword Sect!"
When Lu Xuan's resolute and decisive voice entered into the ears of everyone, they felt a strand of strong confidence and extreme firmness!
