The mountain wind was piercingly cold. Teng Qingshan sat on the back of the Six Legged Bladelike Chi and flew towards the Forbidden Area, the cave where the Poetic Sword God, Li Taibai, comprehended the Dao.
Whoosh!
The black air around Teng Qingshan's body spread to the entrance of the cave. The entrance of the cave that the Lord of the Sword Tower had personally arranged for people to block was once again smashed open by Teng Qingshan. Broken rocks flew everywhere and smashed into the mountain walls in the depths of the cave. Immediately after, Teng Qingshan and the Six Legged Bladelike Chi arrived at the entrance of the cave.
"Eh?" Teng Qingshan swept his gaze across the cave.
He had cultivated in seclusion for a long time in the past. Naturally, he would recognize this cave.
However —
Now, the cave was pitch-black, and the walls of the cave were bare. The spot where the Celestial Jade Annulus used to be was also bare.
The Celestial Jade Annulus had disappeared!
"There's a sound inside!"
"What a loud sound. Which disciple dared to come to the Forbidden Area to learn sword arts?!"
"It's still inside."
Teng Qingshan could clearly hear the rapid footsteps approaching. Although the Celestial Jade Annulus had disappeared, the Forbidden Area still contained the sword arts left by the elite disciples of the Sword Tower for thousands of years. Therefore, it was still very important. When Teng Qingshan blasted open the rocks blocking the cave, such a huge commotion naturally attracted the attention of the crowd.
Many young men and women, or old experts of the Dao of the Sword, carrying sharp swords on their backs, rushed over.
"What's that?!"
With a glance, this group of people saw a monster with blood-red eyes in the cave. Its bladelike arms and scales reflected a cold light, causing this group of people to feel a chill in their hearts. Just by looking at the appearance of this demonic beast, this group of experts of the Dao of the Sword knew that this was an extremely terrifying demonic beast. At this moment, this powerful demonic beast was standing behind a white-cloaked young man.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Forbidden Area of the Sword Tower!" Immediately, a middle-aged man wearing a grey cloak shouted angrily.
"Martial Brothers, let's capture this person together."
Although they felt that the white-cloaked young man was an expert, the Sword Tower dominated the Bright Moon Island.
"Clang!" "Clang!"
Sharp swords were unsheathed, ready to capture this unfamiliar white-robed man.
"Stop!" Suddenly, a white-haired, hunchbacked old man shouted.
"Elder?" Immediately, the experts of the Sword Tower looked at the hunchbacked old man in confusion. Trespassing into the forbidden area was a crime punishable by death, even for a disciple of the Sword Tower! Not to mention that outsiders had barged into the forbidden area. Was it wrong for them to capture the intruder?
When the group of Sword Tower's experts looked at the hunchbacked old man in confusion, the hunchbacked old man took a few steps forward from the side and carefully looked at the white-robed man's face.
"You are …"
The hunchbacked old man's eyes widened. "It's a demon!"
"Demon?"
The expressions of the group of experts of the Sword Tower, who were originally puzzled, changed drastically. In the history of the Sword Tower's domination of the Bright Moon Island, the most humiliating incident was about thirty years ago, when a mysterious and powerful man riding on a Godly Eagle and wielding a Godly Spear shocked the entire Sword Tower by himself.
The Sword Tower had no choice but to bear with it obediently.
Behind their backs, the people of the Sword Tower called the man with the Godly Spear the devil! Their expressions changed when they talked about it. However, thirty years had passed, and the devil had already become a legend. Now, among the younger generation of the Sword Tower, no one had ever seen the devil.
After all, only a few people had seen Teng Qingshan's true appearance.
"This Celestial Jade Annulus was hidden by Huangfu Yujiang, right?" An indifferent voice sounded. Then, the white-robed man turned his head and swept his gaze across the group of people.
The experts of the Sword Doctrine on the scene all had firm wills and were able to enter the forbidden area to study sword arts. However, when the person who was called the devil in the Bright Moon Island swept his gaze across them, they felt their minds tremble. It was as if they had fallen into a desperate situation of death and could die at any moment. This kind of fear caused the faces of the experts of the Sword Doctrine to turn pale.
"Didn't you hear what I said?" Teng Qingshan looked at the hunchbacked old man and withdrew his mental suppression.
Only then did the group of people wake up.
When Teng Qingshan fled to the Great Prairie and faced the God of Heaven Su Mengte of the God of Heaven Mountain, Teng Qingshan was affected by the other's gaze. At that time, Teng Qingshan was comparable to a Golden Dan Innate Expert. Now, Teng Qingshan was a super expert who had one foot in the Insightful Emptiness Realm.
What about the people in front of him? Almost all of them were Postliminary Experts, and there was only one Innate Expert.
Teng Qingshan's gaze could naturally affect their 'Spirit.'
If the Spirit dispersed, they would die.
For example, Teng Qingshan's Niwan Palace had already formed its own world. Such a strong 'Spirit' could indeed kill an ordinary expert with just a glance.
"Senior." The hunchbacked old man took a deep breath and suppressed the fear in his heart. "I'm afraid you won't believe that I lost the Celestial Jade Annulus. However … I really don't know where the Celestial Jade Annulus is." In the eyes of the hunchbacked old man, it was impossible to tell the age of a super expert from his appearance.
Moreover, the status of an expert was determined by his strength. Thus, he naturally addressed himself as' Senior 'and' Junior. '
"You don't know, but Huangfu Yujiang does." Teng Qingshan smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Huangfu Yujiang would reach the Emptiness Realm after not seeing him for thirty years." Teng Qingshan scanned the area with the Power of his World and found that the Tower Lord of the Sword Tower, Huangfu Yujiang, was rushing towards them like a sharp sword.
"Huangfu Yujiang?"
"Who is Huangfu Yujiang?" Among the experts of the Sword Dao, a delicate and pretty young man asked in a low voice.
"Junior Martial Brother, you don't even know this? He is the previous Tower Lord of the Sword Tower and the current Grand Supreme Elder of the Sword Tower! "Someone immediately reprimanded in a low voice. The delicate and pretty young man was startled. Huangfu Yujiang was very famous in the past. However, after the battle with Teng Qingshan, Huangfu Yujiang abdicated his position and hid behind the scenes. After he reached the Emptiness Realm, he became the Grand Supreme Elder.
With such a high status, he rarely showed his face on the Bright Moon Island.
The younger generation of disciples might know some of the deeds of the previous Tower Lord, but many of them didn't know the real name of the previous Tower Lord. After all, Huangfu Yujiang had a very high status. Ordinary disciples of the Sword Tower didn't dare to mention his name.
…
On the high mountain of the Forbidden Area, a streak of sword light dashed towards the waist of the mountain at an astonishing speed.
Huangfu Yujiang, who was dressed in a purple cloak and carried a green sheathed Godly Sword on his back, looked puzzled. "Where did this expert come from? How dare he come to the Bright Moon Island?"
Whoosh!
He dashed into the Forbidden Area.
*****
Teng Qingshan carried a spear holster on his back and stood there as straight as a spear. It was as if the group of experts of the Sword Tower in front of him were air.
Whoosh! A figure cloaked in a purple cloak suddenly appeared in the cave.
"Huangfu Yujiang." A smile appeared on Teng Qingshan's face. Compared to thirty years ago, Huangfu Yujiang's appearance didn't change much. However, his temperament had become even sharper.
"Grand Supreme Elder." The hunchbacked elder hastily bowed respectfully.
"Greetings, Grand Supreme Elder."
The other experts of the Sword Tower all knelt down in unison. In the Sword Tower, only the Grand Supreme Elder had the right to make ordinary disciples kneel! However, in the entire Bright Moon Island, once an Emptiness Realm Expert reached the Bright Moon Island, he would be the most transcendent existence.
It was the dream of countless people to be able to see the Grand Supreme Elder and kneel before the Grand Supreme Elder.
The experts of the Sword Tower stared at Huangfu Yujiang with blazing eyes.
"It's you!" Huangfu Yujiang's gaze froze as he shouted, "Teng Qingshan!"
"Long time no see."
Teng Qingshan smiled calmly and said, "I didn't expect Tower Master Huangfu … No, I should call you Grand Supreme Elder. Huangfu Yujiang, didn't I just look at the Celestial Jade Annulus? You don't have to hide the Celestial Jade Annulus. "
"Hmph."
Huangfu Yujiang frowned and said coldly, "The Celestial Jade Annulus is an important treasure of the Sword Tower. How can we let others look at it?" With this, Huangfu Yujiang couldn't help but glance at the terrifying Emptiness Realm Demonic Beast, the Six Legged Bladelike Chi, beside Teng Qingshan. For some reason, Huangfu Yujiang felt that this Emptiness Realm Demonic Beast was very powerful.
"This Emptiness Realm Demonic Beast has such a unique appearance and a powerful aura. Why is Teng Qingshan so lucky? The last time he came, he brought a demonic beast eagle. This time, he even brought an Emptiness Realm Demonic Beast. "Huangfu Yujiang sighed inwardly as he thought to himself," I'm not confident that I can defeat the two of them. "
Teng Qingshan smiled and said, "Huangfu Yujiang, please lead the way. I want to look at the Celestial Jade Annulus for a while."
In Teng Qingshan's opinion …
He was an Insightful Emptiness Realm Expert, and he had the Six Legged Bladelike Chi by his side. As long as Huangfu Yujiang's brain wasn't damaged, he would know what to do.
"It's not impossible to look at the Celestial Jade Annulus."
Huangfu Yujiang stared at Teng Qingshan with an extremely sharp gaze and said, "However … I have a condition."
"Condition?" Teng Qingshan was slightly confused. "Speak."
"It's very simple."
Huangfu Yujiang's eyes were filled with a hint of fighting spirit as he said, "Let's have a spar. If you defeat me, you, Teng Qingshan, can look at the Celestial Jade Annulus of the Sword Tower to your heart's content. The Sword Tower will also send people to treat you with good food and drinks. If you lose to me … please leave. Do you dare to accept? "
"What?" Teng Qingshan was stunned.
A spar with him?
It was obvious that Teng Qingshan had just reached the Emptiness Realm and hadn't even reached Emptiness Realm Culmination. Teng Qingshan had to travel on land to reach the forbidden area. How … how dare he propose a spar with an Insightful Emptiness Realm Expert?
"Huangfu Yujiang, are you joking? Are you trying to play hide and seek with your speed? "Teng Qingshan frowned and said.
"Hmph, I, Huangfu Yujiang, am not such a shameless person!"
Huangfu Yujiang stared at Teng Qingshan and sneered, "Why? Teng Qingshan, are you afraid? I want to see how much you, Teng Qingshan, have improved in the past thirty years. "
"The Grand Supreme Elder will definitely win!"
"The Grand Supreme Elder will definitely win against this demon."
The experts of the Sword Tower didn't dare to make a ruckus. They could only shout in their hearts as their eyes lit up. One should know that the number of Emptiness Realm Experts in the history of the Sword Tower could be counted on one's fingers! Most of the time, there wasn't a single Emptiness Realm Expert on the entire Bright Moon Island. Therefore, reaching the Emptiness Realm and becoming the Grand Supreme Elder was like a god in the hearts of the disciples of the Sword Tower.
In their opinion …
The identity of the Grand Supreme Elder represented the Emptiness Realm Expert, an invincible existence.
In the history …
The sad thing was that the Sword Tower had never produced an Insightful Emptiness Realm Expert. Therefore, the experts of the Sword Tower didn't know what the aura of an Insightful Emptiness Realm Expert was like. Huangfu Yujiang noticed that Teng Qingshan's aura was like a black hole. He thought that Teng Qingshan cultivated a special Dao.
"Haha, good."
Teng Qingshan couldn't help but laugh. "Since you want to spar, fine. I think we should choose a deserted place."
"The battle between you and me is a rare opportunity for the disciples of the Sword Tower to observe. A spar between two Emptiness Realm Experts has never happened in the history of the Sword Tower. It's not a big deal to have a spar in a deserted place." Huangfu Yujiang shouted, "Elder Li, order all the disciples of the Sword Tower to come to the training field at the foot of the mountain within an hour."
"Yes, Grand Supreme Elder." The hunchbacked elder was so excited that his face was flushed. He hastily responded.
