The moment he entered White Sword City, Chen Zong could feel the thick aura of the sword. This was a kind of atmosphere, a kind of culture, a kind of heritage.
Walking along the wide streets of White Sword City, he could see people with swords at their waists or on their backs everywhere. Regardless of their level of cultivation, they were all practicing the sword.
Chen Zong could estimate that at least 90% of the martial artists practiced the sword.
On both sides of the wide streets, he could see many swordsmiths, sword towers, sword pagodas, and other buildings. There were also countless restaurants and shops with swords in their names.
Even the air was filled with a smell that made Chen Zong happy. It was the smell of the sword.
"I wonder how the martial artists trained in such a place are?" Chen Zong muttered to himself. His voice was so soft that only he could hear it.
"Let's go to the ruins of the Heavenly Master Sword Sect first, then come to White Sword City." Chen Zong immediately decided on his itinerary. Therefore, he was very curious about White Sword City.
After passing through the streets of White Sword City, he left through another city gate. As the old man in the tea stall had said, he headed east for 300 miles.
In the distance, Chen Zong saw a mountain peak. A mountain peak that had a large section broken off.
Broken Sword Peak!
This was where the ruins of the Heavenly Master Sword Sect used to be.
"Broken Sword Peak …" He muttered to himself. He could see that this mountain peak had been cut off and was not naturally formed. Perhaps it was caused by the battle between the Heavenly Master Jiandi and other strong enemies many years ago.
Chen Zong leaped into the air and quickly approached the Broken Sword Peak. When he landed on the Broken Sword Peak, he could see the ruins of the palace.
Collapsed palaces and broken city walls, battered by wind and rain for more than a thousand years, spoke volumes of the vicissitudes of time.
From the silhouette of the ruins, one could see that the Heavenly Master Sword Sect had been rather glorious back in the day. It was probably close to the top 15 powers. After all, although the Heavenly Master Jiandi had unparalleled battle prowess and defeated all the Emperor-level fighters on the continent, the Heavenly Master Sword Sect had only been established for a short period of time. Although it had great potential, it had not yet been established.
If the Heavenly Master Sword Sect had been given time, with the power and reputation of the Heavenly Master Jiandi, the Heavenly Master Sword Sect would have been able to develop and eventually become comparable to the fifteen major powers, becoming the sixteenth major power. Unfortunately, the Heavenly Master Sword Sect had only been established for a few short decades before it was reduced to history due to a calamity.
Standing in the ruins of the former mountain gate of the Heavenly Master Sword Sect, Chen Zong's gaze became unfocused. He had an indescribable feeling.
Soon after, he let out a long sigh. All of his emotions were expelled in this single breath. His absent-mindedness was replaced by determination. His eyes emitted an extremely sharp light that pierced through the sky.
Powerful!
Only by becoming strong, extremely strong, incomparably strong, could one calmly face all difficulties and dangers.
If the Heavenly Master Jiandi back then had been a Half-Saint, then Ban Zhongquan's plan would not have succeeded.
All of the plots and schemes, even the so-called overt ones, could be successfully carried out in the end. At the end of the day, it was still related to power. If one's power was strong enough, so strong that it was beyond the reach of others, then all external factors would not be able to affect it.
At this moment, Chen Zong's belief in pursuing power became even more resolute. His spiritual awareness surged, collapsing towards the center and rapidly condensing.
The fourth tier of the Art of Cultivating the Spirit, which had been stagnant all this time, had a breakthrough at this moment.
His spiritual awareness was compressed at a high intensity. Finally, a small sword that glowed with fluorescent light appeared in Chen Zong's sea of consciousness. That was the Sword of Spiritual Awareness.
In the past, Chen Zong had condensed the Sword of Spiritual Awareness. But the Sword of Spiritual Awareness was many levels lower than the Sword of Spiritual Awareness.
The Sword of Spiritual Awareness was even more difficult to condense. Today, after experiencing the battle at the Demon-suppressing Fortress and seeing the ruins of the Heavenly Master Sword Sect, he was greatly moved. His conviction was incomparably firm, and thus he had a breakthrough.
Xiu!
The sharp sound of wind breaking came from afar. Chen Zong turned his head to look and saw a green light flying towards him at an astonishing speed. Behind it, a golden light broke through the air, following closely behind like a shadow.
These two lights exuded a sharp aura, like a sharp sword unsheathed. It could be seen that the speed of the green light was somewhat slower than the golden light, and the distance between the two was constantly shortening.
With Chen Zong's eyesight, he could naturally see that the figures in the green light and the golden light were two youths.
Referring to them as youths was naturally referring to their appearance. As for their actual age, it was another matter.
After all, cultivators tended to live longer than ordinary people, especially those with good talent. They often cultivated to a higher realm at a younger age, so they could maintain their youthful appearance for a longer time.
Under normal circumstances, when a cultivator cultivated to the True Martial Realm, the speed of their aging would be greatly reduced. If they broke through to the Transcendent Realm before the age of fifty, then they would maintain a relatively youthful appearance for a long time in the future.
These two people were both at the Extreme Mortal Realm. Chen Zong could easily sense that one was at the Early Third Layer of the Extreme Mortal Realm, while the other was at the Mid Third Layer of the Extreme Mortal Realm.
When the green light approached Chen Zong, it made a sharp turn, circling around Chen Zong. However, the golden light did not dodge at all, directly rushing towards Chen Zong, as if he did not exist.
Under such circumstances, the distance between the green light and the golden light was greatly reduced.
Immediately, the approaching figure in the golden light unsheathed his sword and slashed through the air, sending out a golden sword light. It was so sharp that it directly cut open the ground and shot towards Chen Zong like a hot knife through butter. He attempted to slash past Chen Zong and then attack the green light figure.
However, the expression of the figure in the green light suddenly changed. He quickly turned around and unsheathed his sword. With a sudden shake, a green sword light swept out like a storm towards the golden sword light.
The green sword light was so powerful that it tore open the ground, sending dust into the air.
However, the green sword light was not as powerful as the golden sword light. It was defeated in an instant, but it also weakened the golden sword light, sweeping past Chen Zong. With a bang, it shattered a broken wall behind him, leaving a shocking sword mark on the ground that was over a hundred meters long.
"Soft-hearted. The people of the Polar Sky Association are so weak. No wonder you hide like rats." A sharp, mocking voice sounded from the golden light figure, full of murderous intent.
"You people of the Skyscraper Association are so cruel and merciless. Sooner or later, you will suffer retribution," the green light figure angrily rebuked.
"Pedantic and ignorant." The young man in the golden robe laughed wildly. He waved his sword again, and in a flash, ten golden sword lights slashed through the air. They were not only aimed at the young man in the green robe, but also at Chen Zong.
Just as the young man in the green robe said, he was really cruel and merciless.
"Damn it!" The young man in the green robe was furious. He burst out with his strength, wielding his sword with both hands, and suddenly swept it out. It turned into a tyrannical storm, raging between heaven and earth. Suddenly, the ten sword lights were all swept away and shattered.
"Hurry up and leave." The young man in the green robe shouted at Chen Zong. He held his sword as if he was one with it and attacked the young man in the golden robe.
"Ignorant." The young man in the golden robe grinned. His eyes were blazing with ferocity. He slashed out with his sword, and the sharp edge of his sword suddenly tore the sky apart. Its power made the young man in the green robe pale.
In one breath, the two swords collided dozens of times, and the young man in the green robe was sent flying. His sword hand was slightly trembling.
A small gap in cultivation made a difference. If there was no accident, he would most likely die here.
The young man in the green robe saw that Chen Zong was still standing in the same place and had no intention of leaving. He could not help but become anxious.
"Hurry up and leave. The people of the Skyscraper Association are all cruel and merciless. They have killed countless people."
"You want to leave? It's too late. Both of you stay here." The young man in the golden robe slashed his sword once again. The sword light was dazzling, and it easily tore the air apart. It was as if even refined steel could not withstand it.
The young man in the green robe's expression changed greatly. He was not confident that he could withstand it. Moreover, he was planning to save the young man next to him.
Gritting his teeth, the young man in the green robe flashed and appeared in front of Chen Zong. He shouted and waved his sword with all his strength, "Hurry up and leave!"
Suddenly, the young man in the green robe felt as if a figure flashed in front of him. Then, he seemed to hear the sound of a sword, which lingered in his ears.
When the sound of the sword died down, the young man in the green robe was shocked to find that the figure in front of him was the one he had protected behind him.
When he looked again, the young man in the golden robe who had been chasing him was lying in a pool of blood. His neck had been cut off, and his head rolled to the side, facing the sky. His eyes were wide open, and there was still shock and confusion in his eyes.
"You … you …" The young man in the green robe could not help but step back. He stared at Chen Zong in horror and could not speak a complete sentence.
It was too shocking!
It was really too shocking.
He had thought that this person had some strength, but he would not be strong. At least, he would not be stronger than him. He did not expect that it would be completely unexpected.
When he came to his senses, he remembered that he had asked the young man to leave many times and attacked him many times. He felt a little embarrassed.
"Senior, thank you very much for your help." The young man in the green robe took a deep breath, suppressed the shock and all kinds of distracting thoughts in his heart, and saluted Chen Zong very solemnly with his hands folded.
He called Chen Zong "senior". Obviously, he thought that Chen Zong was a young but very old master.
"I was just saving myself." Chen Zong smiled. The young man in the green robe and he did not know each other, but he stopped to save him. It showed that he had a good character. Of course, although Chen Zong admitted that the young man had a good character, he also knew that he would not be able to do this. After all, he knew that he was not a match for the young man. If he still stopped, it was no different from suicide.
"No, if you didn't help me, I would have died this time." The young man in the green robe said seriously, "My name is Qin Hao. How should I address you?"
"Chen Zong." Chen Zong responded neither slowly nor quickly.
"Senior Chen, thank you very much for saving me." Qin Hao said. Immediately, his eyes swept over the body of the young man in the golden robe, and his face changed again. "Senior, this person is from the Skyscraper Society. The Skyscraper Society is unscrupulous and cruel. If they know that you killed their people, they will definitely take revenge on you."
As he spoke, he pulled out his sword and slashed the body several times. Then he took the sword and mustard seed bag and handed them to Chen Zong.
"Senior, leave here quickly."
