This place was not far from the Sword Sect. After all, they were all in the Wind Sword School. Although the nine sub-sects were separated, they were not too far apart.
Lu Xuan soon saw an extremely majestic stone sword that was hundreds of meters long. The stone sword was stabbed into a mountain in a slanted manner. While it looked very casual, Lu Xuan was able to sense an inexplicable way of the sword imbued within it. It gave off an inexplicable sense of deterrence that he could not quite put his finger on.
"Do you see that huge sword?" Elder Xu's voice rang in Lu Xuan's ears. Lu Xuan hurriedly bowed, but Elder Xu waved his hand, indicating that there was no need.
"This is the main peak of the Sword Sect, called Fallen Sword Peak. It used to be the main peak of the entire Wind Sword School. That stone sword was carved by the first Wind Sword School's Sect Leader. It is said that the previous Sect Leader carved all his comprehension into the stone sword. Unfortunately, the later generations were incompetent and were unable to comprehend anything from it. Now, they can't even maintain their position as the Sword Sect."
Elder Xu's voice was a little emotional. Although he seemed to not care about Elder Zheng's mocking of the Sword Sect, how could he feel good in his heart?
Lu Xuan wanted to say something to comfort her, but he did not know where to start. Right now, he only had a body full of talent. Only when he was able to fully display his talent would he have the right to speak. Therefore, he could only remain silent for a while.
The huge sword quickly landed on a square. Lu Xuan looked around and saw that there were many martial artists standing there. At a rough glance, there were at least a thousand people!
"This is the square of the Sword Sect. The people you see here are all new disciples recruited from the three empires. It seems that the Sword Sect is not just targeting you, but has also taken disciples from other places as well. Based on how things usually go, the number of people here would definitely be more than this," Elder Xu explained for Lu Xuan.
As the huge sword stopped, all the disciples jumped down and stood on the square under Elder Xu's lead.
"Lu Xuan, Xia Ye, Lin Xinyi, the three of you follow me. The rest of the disciples, wait here for the summons." Elder Xu said.
Lu Xuan's group of three were the three inner court disciples that had entered the Sword Sect during this trip to Lin City. Originally, there were two other inner court disciples. However, after being bewitched by Elder Zheng, they changed their choice and headed to the Saber Sect.
Lu Xuan and the other two followed Elder Xu all the way, and it did not take long for them to see an extremely grand hall. A plaque was hung above the lintel of the hall, with a huge "sword" character inscribed on it. The character was perfectly round, and the vertical stroke at the end of the plaque was very straightforward. It was imbued with extremely powerful sword will, which shot straight to the sky as if it was about to break through the plaque. Ordinary people would not have been able to look at it directly.
"This is the Sword Sect's Conference Hall. It's called the Sword Pavilion. The" Sword "character was personally written by the previous Sect Master." Elder Xu casually explained, "Now, the new disciples and elders must be inside. Let's go in."
The three followed Elder Xu into the Sword Pavilion. As expected, there were already many people inside. Although it was not as many as they had seen in the square, there were still nearly a hundred people.
Elder Xu led Lu Xuan and the others to the front.
"Old Cheng, Old Lin, I've brought back the disciples from Lin City," Elder Xu said to the two people who were dressed like elders.
Lu Xuan thought to himself. Elder Xu had previously said that he was one of the three great elders of the Sword Sect. It seemed that these two people were the other two great elders of the Sword Sect.
One of the grey-robed elders glanced at Lu Xuan and the other two and smiled bitterly. "Only three? Looks like you were provoked by the members of the Saber Sect as well? "
Elder Xu's face sank slightly when he heard this, and he nodded and said, "The members of the Saber Sect are becoming more and more arrogant. They took away more than half of the disciples I brought back from Lin City."
The grey-robed elder sighed and said, "It's the same for the other places. Including the three disciples you brought back, there are only a total of 98 inner sect disciples that entered the Sword Sect this time. It's less than a third of the previous years."
Elder Xu smiled coldly when he heard this, "It's fine. They're just opportunists. If they leave, then so be it. We can save some resources and focus on nurturing the disciples that remain."
When he spoke up to here, Elder Xu seemed to have thought of something, and the cold expression on his face vanished. He smiled lightly and said, "I encountered a good sapling in Lin City this time. During the next Sect Competition, my Sword Sect will definitely become famous! Lu Xuan, come here. Let me introduce you to the other two elders of my Sword Sect. "
When he heard this, Lu Xuan hurriedly went forward and walked to Elder Xu's side.
Elder Xu pointed at the grey-robed elder and said, "This is Elder Cheng, the Sword Sect's Grand Elder. His strength has already reached the Middle-stage of the Soul Refinement Realm. In terms of strength, he's slightly stronger than your Ninth Uncle, Yan Jiu."
"Disciple Lu Xuan greets Grand Elder." Lu Xuan bowed respectfully.
At this moment, another elder dressed in white walked over and said with great interest, "Yan Jiu? Could it be the Fist Sect's Yan Jiu? Then you can be considered as the nephew of an old friend. "
Elder Xu laughed when he heard this and said, "It's that Yan Jiu."
Then he said to Lu Xuan, "This is Elder Lin, the Sword Sect's Second Elder. As for me, I'm the Third Elder who's at the bottom."
Facing this Elder Lin, Lu Xuan naturally bowed again.
Elder Lin waved his hand and said, "There's no need to be so courteous. Yan Jiu and I were acquainted in the past. However, Yan Jiu's forte is claw techniques. Why didn't you follow him and instead learned swordsmanship?"
"I'm not the nephew of Ninth Uncle. I only received some kindness from him and did not follow Ninth Uncle to learn swordsmanship," Lu Xuan explained.
"Lu Xuan is a very talented seedling that I found. If he wanted to go to another branch sect, I would be the first to object," Elder Xu said with a smug expression. Elder Xu said with a smug look on his face. It was obvious that he was most proud of recruiting Lu Xuan during this trip.
"Oh?"
"In the four rounds of assessment, Lu Xuan consecutively took first place in all four rounds. His final combat result was that he successfully rushed to the sixth floor of the sword tower and killed three martial artists with his fourth-layer body refinement strength." Elder Xu said with a smile on his face.
As soon as these words came out, Elder Lin could not help but feel a little surprised. It was not easy for a fourth-layer body refinement cultivator to rush to the sixth floor of the sword tower. Unexpectedly, he killed three martial artists with the sixth-layer body refinement. That was even more difficult.
Immediately, Elder Lin nodded and said with a smile, "If that's the case, it's really not bad. It seems that although the number of disciples recruited by the Sword Sect this time is small, the quality is not bad. This time in the Fire Beacon Empire, I also met an extremely talented disciple. Xing Feng, come here."
Hearing Elder Lin's call, a young martial artist suddenly stepped out from the crowd and stood beside Elder Lin.
"Xing Feng is a disciple of the Fire Beacon Empire. This time, he also took first place in all four rounds of assessment. At the age of seventeen, he reached the fifth-layer body refinement. His battle record is the sixth floor of the sword tower, and he killed five martial artists." Elder Lin introduced, "Xing Feng, you and Lu Xuan are this year's new disciples. Your talent is not bad. You must support each other and strive to win glory for the Sword Sect in the next Sect Grand Competition!"
Lu Xuan looked over and unexpectedly, Xing Feng was also looking at him. When their eyes met, Xing Feng's eyes revealed a strong desire to fight, as if he wanted to have a showdown.
