Tianzhu Mountain, Sword-cleansing Pond.
When Yan Li arrived, it was already crowded. There were more than 100,000 people from the seven branches who came to watch the ceremony. Of course, most of them were disciples of the Tianjian Peak.
Sword-cleansing Pond was located at the highest point of the Tianzhu Mountain. It was easily connected to the Sword River.
It was a huge field built with unknown jade to form a square spiral. It extended downwards like a terraced field. It could be used as both a platform and a viewing platform. Ordinary disciples were scattered on it in groups of three to five.
The huge field was pushed inwards layer by layer. The lower it was, the deeper it was. Standing at the top and looking down, the people in the deepest part of the field were as small as ants. There was a stone pillar every few levels. At the top of the stone pillar, there were four lampstands. There were four lampstands, so the whole field was brightly lit.
As soon as Yan Li and the others appeared, the clamor immediately died down. They all cast their gazes over and whispered to each other.
"Have you heard … Cangjian Peak made a great contribution!"
"What contribution?"
"They eliminated a small branch of the Blood-clothed Tower and its deputy, captured five Fengtian disciples alive, and defeated the Demon Hunter Hall …"
"Blood-clothed Tower, Fengtian Sect, and Demon Hunter Hall?"
"Hey, forget about the Blood-clothed Tower and Fengtian Sect. Why did the Demon Hunter Hall come?"
"How should I know?"
"Are you serious? Can the three to five cats in the Hidden Sword Peak handle it?"
"The key is the means. I heard that Yan Li is the one who planned it all."
"Yan Li?"
"Yes, that's him …"
Luo Fangshuo had never enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention. He was so nervous that he didn't know where to put his hands. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Yan Li calmly moving forward, so he humbly asked, "Junior Brother, I feel so nervous. What if they come to ask me what happened?"
"Just tell them the truth," Yan Li said.
"Tell them the truth …" Luo Fangshuo nodded. He suddenly felt something was wrong and said awkwardly, "Then, then I, that … should I tell them too?"
"You can be a little more flexible." Yan Li couldn't help but laugh.
"What, what kind of reform?" Luo Fangshuo asked.
Cao Zigu was different from Luo Fangshuo. He enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention. He swaggered around and rolled his eyes at Luo Fangshuo's words. "Little Fatty Luo, you don't even know this? You're really stupid. I'll tell you, just tell them that you played a crucial role in this battle. If it weren't for you, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly. "
"Oh, oh …" Luo Fangshuo seemed to understand.
"Don't worry about not having a confidant on the road ahead. Who in the world doesn't know you?"
Just at this moment, the path of the three was blocked by someone. A burly man with an exaggeratedly large sword on his back appeared out of nowhere, tilting his body and looking over, "I heard that Brother Yan has done something big. I, Zhong Hanqiu, have come to congratulate you."
"Hero Zhong!" Luo Fangshuo's eyes lit up and he said in surprise, "We're really fated. Last time, you said that if we were fated to meet again, you'd allow me to join the Iron Triangle Alliance of Swordsman …"
"It's the Iron Triangle Alliance of Swordsman," Zhong Hanqiu corrected him seriously.
"The Iron Triangle Alliance of Swordsman?" Cao Zigu couldn't help but laugh. "Little Fatty, didn't you join the Punching Bag Association last time? What's the result?"
"Disbanded …" Luo Fangshuo said embarrassedly.
"What do you mean by done something big? Barbarians are barbarians. Vulgar. "
On the other side, a handsome young master who was as elegant as jade walked over. He fanned himself with his nostrils pointed upwards. "A primitive person like you can actually join the Sword Court, and you even entered the strongest Heavenly Sword Peak like me. It's simply ridiculous."
He didn't wait for Zhong Hanqiu's response and squinted at Yan Li. "Hey, I heard that you schemed against the Blood-clothed Tower, Fengtian Sect, and Demon Hunter Hall. Hmph, you're brave. I, Long Aoshuang, admit that you're qualified to be my opponent. There's no time like the present. Let's have our life-and-death duel today. "
"Brother Long, please wait."
Zhong Hanqiu stretched out his hand to stop Long Aoshuang, and said calmly, "First come, first served. After decades of hard work, I have finally found a peerless swordsman who can rival my Black Peak. Please let me have this battle."
"Get lost. Do you believe that I'll kill you first and then kill him?" Long Aoshuang said coldly.
"Sigh, I've been a guard in Muye for so many years, but no one has ever been able to force Black Peak out." Zhong Hanqiu shook his head and sighed. "Although I admit that Brother Long's strength is not bad, you still can't fight with my Black Peak. And I can already foresee that Brother Yan will fall under Black Peak's hands. My lonely heart … "
Before he could finish, a fist smashed into his face.
"Sneak attack? What kind of hero is that!" Zhong Hanqiu covered his face and rushed up, somewhat flustered and exasperated.
The two of them started fighting again.
Yan Li slowly walked over.
The two of them stood there dumbfounded for a while. Cao Zigu quickly reacted and followed. Luo Fangshuo finally realized that this' Great Hero Zhong 'didn't have any chivalrous demeanor when fighting with others. He also hurriedly followed.
"Junior apprentice-brother Yan, wait for me …"
As he chased after him, a shrill sound of something piercing through the air came from behind and crashed into his body. Suffering such a heavy blow, he felt the world spin and he fell down the stairs.
Yan Li sensed this and quickly caught hold of Luo Fangshuo, placing him on the ground steadily and avoiding a bloody nose and a swollen face.
"Don't you have eyes?"
As he frowned and turned his head, a group of more than ten people had already caught up to him. The one in the lead pointed at Luo Fangshuo and scolded him angrily, "Little Luo Fangshuo, it's you again, trash. Haven't you heard of the saying 'a good dog doesn't block the way'? You even dare to block Senior Apprentice-Brother Long Hua's way! Why didn't you stay in your kitchen and study how to cook? Why did you come to the Sword Washing Pool to embarrass yourself? "
One of them laughed loudly, "I think he wants to perform the act of kneeling down and surrendering on the Sword Discourse Arena again."
Everyone laughed.
Cao Zigu's expression turned angry, but he didn't know why but he gritted his teeth and didn't say anything.
"Little Luo Fangshuo, it's not your fault that your ding ding is small. Running out to block someone else's way is your fault."
Another laughed and ran over, grabbing Luo Fangshuo from Yan Li's hands and patted Luo Fangshuo's face. "Why aren't you apologizing to Senior Apprentice-Brother Long Hua?"
Luo Fangshuo was so scared that his lips turned white and his whole body trembled. "I'm, I'm sorry …"
That person didn't let Luo Fangshuo go. He laughed coldly and said, "Hey, little Luo Fangshuo, since you kneeled down to the unaffiliated cultivators to surrender, shouldn't you kneel down to show your sincerity when you apologize to our Senior Apprentice-Brother Long Hua? Or … "
He pointed his finger at Luo Fangshuo's throat and said coldly, "Your apology isn't sincere at all?"
"Kneel down, kneel down, kneel down …"
Noises came from the crowd.
Luo Fangshuo's face was pale. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and looked at Yan Li for help.
