The Swordking City had come here as a bystander. Although the Seventh Young Master Fang had performed well, it was a pity that some people didn't buy it.
Now that Bai Qian had spoken up as a peacemaker, not only did he not want Swordking City to play a supporting role, but he also did not want Hidden Sword Villa to be destroyed.
Each of the five major sword sects had thousands of years of history. Therefore, although there was competition and intrigue between them, it was not as serious as the other factions.
For example, the great battle on Floating Jade Mountain had been instigated by the five major sword sects. If it had been any other faction, it would have been impossible for them to join forces and create such a huge commotion.
Hidden Sword Villa was already half destroyed, but even so, it was better to leave a good reputation than to be destroyed.
Chu Xiu said calmly, "I gave Hidden Sword Villa a chance from the beginning, but some people did not cherish it. They won't shed a tear until they see their coffin."
Bai Qian sighed and said to Cheng Tingshan, "Villa Master Cheng, although a swordsman would rather break than bend, a broken sword can be reforged. If the person is gone, then there's nothing left.
Hidden Sword Villa has developed for so many years. Are you really willing to watch it be destroyed in your hands? Are you willing to be the last Villa Master of Hidden Sword Villa?
Admit defeat. Even if you really die, you will not be a threat to Official Chu. Leave a seed for Hidden Sword Villa. "
Cheng Tingshan smiled sadly and glanced at the other Hidden Sword Villa disciples in the sword formation, whose eyes were either filled with fear or apprehension.
Perhaps their Hidden Sword Villa had walked into a dead end from the beginning.
Was the person or the sword more important? The Hidden Sword Villa had chosen the latter. In the end, so many people had died for the sake of a sword. If they had admitted defeat from the beginning, would they have ended up like this?
Chu Xiu was right. This time, Hidden Sword Villa would not shed a tear until they saw their coffin. It was too late for regrets.
Bai Qian's last sentence hit the spot that Cheng Tingshan was most unwilling to face.
The Hidden Sword Villa had been passed down for thousands of years. He did not want to be the last master of the Hidden Sword Villa. How would he be able to face his ancestors then?
Moreover, Chu Xiu's strength was already so strong that it made people tremble. Even if they were to perish together, apart from preventing Chu Xiu from obtaining Flowing Light Evil Moon, what else could he gain?
Bai Qian continued, "Manor Lord Cheng, the Five Great Sword Sects have existed for so many years. You should know what the Five Great Sword Sects need.
Although we usually have conflicts with each other and everyone wants to be the leader of the Five Major Sword Sects, as sword cultivators, we wish for the entire sword cultivator lineage to prosper.
Compared to letting other random sects become one of the five great sword sects, we are more willing to let the Hidden Sword Villa remain in this position.
Cheng Tingshan, let go. Although your Hidden Sword Villa has suffered a great loss this time, Swordking City can guarantee that if anyone dares to target the Hidden Sword Villa, Swordking City will take action. "
In the entire Jianghu, the Five Great Sword Sects had the most special status. There was no conflict between them over orthodoxies, only their dedication to the sword dao.
The sword dao had even become independent of the three sects, becoming the largest martial dao branch in the Jianghu.
Of course, this was not the ultimate dream of all sword cultivators. Their ultimate dream was to stand shoulder to shoulder with the daoists, buddhists, and demons. That was their ideal golden age of the sword dao.
So although the Five Great Sword Sects had always had conflicts, they all worked together to protect the interests and future of the sword dao.
There were many sword sects among the seven sects and eight schools, but why had they not replaced the weakest Yue Maiden Palace as one of the Five Great Sword Sects? Why had they not become one of the Six Great Sword Sects?
That was because their sword dao was not pure.
No matter how weak the Yue Maiden Palace and the Hidden Sword Villa were, their sword dao legacies had been recognized by other sword sects. The remaining sects like the Ba Mountain Sword Sect and the Azure Water Sword Sect might also have the title of sword sect or sword sect, but in reality, their sword dao legacies were not recognized by other sword sects.
So even though the Hidden Sword Villa had declined to this state, before another sword sect appeared that could replace the Hidden Sword Villa, Swordking City would protect the Hidden Sword Villa. This was not just empty talk.
Cheng Tingshan sighed. In that instant, he seemed to have aged a dozen years.
With a wave of his hand, a longsword flashing with starlight flew out of the sword formation and stabbed in front of Chu Xiu.
"Flowing Light Evilmoon is yours, Chu Xiu."
After barely spitting out these words, Cheng Tingshan seemed to have spat out all his strength.
A swordsman would rather break than bend. This time, he, Cheng Tingshan, had lowered his head. He had completely embarrassed the Hidden Sword Villa.
Although he, like the other six elders of the Hidden Sword Villa, was prepared to die, sometimes, living was more difficult than dying.
Now that the Flowing Light Evilmoon was in his hands, Chu Xiu called out to Shang Tianliang and turned to leave.
He, Chu Xiu, was very trustworthy. At present, Chu Xiu could be considered as a big shot who could stir up a storm in the Underworld. It was time for him to build up his reputation. Although he didn't need to do any good deeds, at the very least, it would make his credibility more valuable.
Of course, more importantly, he had been high-profile enough during this period of time. If he destroyed the Hidden Sword Villa now, he would be even more high-profile and would almost completely offend the other three major sects.
After Chu Xiu left, the elder of the Heartless Sword Tomb saw that the matter had been resolved. He did not even say a word and turned to leave.
Shen Baochen looked at the pitiful state of the Hidden Sword Villa and shook his head.
Back then, during the great battle between the Righteous and Demonic Paths on Floating Jade Mountain, the Hidden Sword Villa was still high-spirited, but now it had weakened to such an extent.
This time, the Hidden Sword Villa had suffered heavy losses. Not only had they lost the Flowing Light Evilmoon, but all the elders in the Guardian Sword Pavilion had died. The Hidden Sword Villa had to send a large number of people into the Guardian Sword Pavilion, which was a great blow to their own strength.
In the next ten years, the Hidden Sword Villa would probably not appear in the Jianghu.
This made Shen Baochen sigh. This was the result of not having enough strength. In the Jianghu, not having strength was the biggest mistake.
After obtaining the Flowing Light Evilmoon, Chu Xiu did not delay and directly brought the Flowing Light Evilmoon to the Mirror Lake Villa.
Along the way, news of the battle in the Hidden Sword Villa had spread.
Previously, it was not wrong for Chu Xiu to be low-key. This was because after this incident, Chu Xiu had become the focus of the Jianghu again. Countless people were saying that Chu Xiu was arrogant and domineering, and that he was extremely crazy.
He had just gone against the Subodhi Zen Temple and the Chunyang Dao Sect, and in the blink of an eye, he had gone against the Five Major Sword Sects. This was simply indescribable.
However, there were also many sects that were worried. This Chu Xiu was so unscrupulous and crazy. Would he be a threat to them in the future?
Not only did Chu Xiu not earn any reputation, but he had also gained a stronger fear and ferocity than before.
Of course, all of this had nothing to do with Chu Xiu. He had already decided that while Mo Yezi was helping him forge the divine weapon, he would stay in the Mirror Lake Manor. One reason was to wait for the divine weapon, and the other was to keep a low profile for a period of time.
When Mo Yezi received the Flowing Light Evilmoon from Chu Xiu, even he was shocked.
Although he had already heard the news of Chu Xiu from some Anemophilia, he really did not expect that Chu Xiu would actually be able to obtain the Divine Sword from the Hidden Sword Villa.
The rumor that the Hidden Sword Villa regarded the sword as their life had long been famous in the Jianghu. Even in the early years when Mo Yezi was still the Pavilion Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, he wanted to borrow the famous sword of the Hidden Sword Villa to collect some inspiration for forging swords. However, he was firmly rejected by the Hidden Sword Villa.
In the end, under the threat of Chu Xiu, the Hidden Sword Villa still handed over the Flowing Light Evilmoon. It seemed that a person's life was still more important than a sword.
Mo Yezi said, "The Flowing Light Evilmoon is originally a Divine Weapon. It will take some effort to melt it. Therefore, if we want to forge the complete version of the Heavenly Dao War Case, I am afraid it will take some time, at least a month."
Chu Xiu nodded and said, "That's just right. I will stay in the Mirror Lake Villa for a period of time."
He had been a little too high-profile during this time. Although Chu Xiu was now the general trend, he was not ready to really become the public enemy of the martial arts world.
Taoism and Buddhism and the Five Major Sword Sects had been defeated by him one after another. At present, Chu Xiu was in the limelight for a while. If he attracted so many strong people to besiege him like Ye Shaonan last time, no matter how strong Chu Xiu was, he would probably die.
At this moment, someone suddenly came outside to report that Xiao Baiyu of Jixia Academy had come to visit.
Xiao Baiyu came to the Mirror Lake Villa to find Mo Yezi to forge weapons.
Now that Xiao Baiyu had stepped into the True Fire Spiritual Cultivation Realm, his power in the Eastern Qi imperial court had greatly increased. Jixia Academy had become the most important part of the Eastern Qi imperial court.
Therefore, Xiao Baiyu also asked for a lot of materials from the Eastern Qi imperial court and was ready to forge a batch of weapons.
Although there were a lot of forging masters in the Eastern Qi imperial court, Xiao Baiyu didn't like them. The price of the Divine Weapon Pavilion was too high, so the Mirror Lake Villa was a good choice.
Moreover, Xiao Baiyu was Luo Fei-hung's teacher, and Mo Yezi was Luo Fei-hung's adoptive father. With this important relationship, the relationship between the two sides was also good.
Seeing Chu Xiu here, Xiao Baiyu was stunned. It seemed that he didn't expect to meet Chu Xiu here.
"Chancellor Xiao, long time no see." Chu Xiu cupped his hands and said hello.
The other party was Luo Fei-hung's teacher. Although he was not familiar with him, there was no hatred between them.
Xiao Baiyu also saluted back and said, "I didn't expect Official Chu to be here. Are you also going to find Master Mo Yezi to forge weapons?"
Chu Xiu nodded and said, "I just got a magic sword from the Sword Concealing Villa. I'm going to use it to upgrade my weapon."
Hearing this, Xiao Baiyu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Using a magic weapon to upgrade another magic weapon, Chu Xiu really dared to do such a luxurious thing.
And are you sure you got the magic sword from the Sword Concealing Villa instead of robbing it?
