In the distance, Zhao Layue sensed the change of the sword wills again. She squinted her eyes and wondered if it had something to do with the young disciple.
After a while, she shook her head.
She had been with these sword wills for a long time and knew that they had no consciousness but only meaning.
If the meaning of these sword wills was love and care for her, then these sword wills were … submission?
The sword wills would only submit to the sword, not to the person.
Was there going to be a new famous sword in the peak?
…
…
In the mountain full of sword wills, Jing Jiu finally found the one he wanted.
Hundreds of sword wills sensed his will and gradually calmed down, returning to the peak.
Jing Jiu walked to the cliff.
A sword slowly emerged from the cliff. The scene looked a little weird.
The sword was black and had a dim luster. It looked a little ordinary. In terms of the purity of the sword wills, it was not outstanding compared to other swords.
This was the sword of Master Mo who had passed away half a year ago.
It was also the sword that Jing Jiu needed.
Jing Jiu touched the body of the sword and found it was really wide. He nodded with satisfaction.
When he was about to take the sword, he suddenly found something and looked up to the east.
…
…
The sword wills were so strong on the peak and the clouds were so thick that no starlight could fall. It was hard to see anything with the Awareness of Sword.
The environment here could be said to be really dark.
To see the scenery more than three hundred meters away, one had to reach at least the State of the Undefeated. If one wanted to see further, one had to reach a higher state.
For Jing Jiu, this was not a problem. His state was still low, but the sword wills could not affect him. Instead, they could help him see clearly.
He saw the iron eagle land in front of the cliff.
The iron eagle was the only living creature that could survive in the Sword Peak.
The iron eagle's feathers were harder than steel and its bones were like spiritual stones. Its whole body was the most precious material for arrows.
If it were not for the fact that it could not be used in the military formation and that it was taken as the mountain protection bird of the Aoyama Sect, this kind of rare bird would have been hunted to extinction by the imperial court.
It was a young eagle that had suffered serious injuries. It was struggling on the cliff, but it was unable to stand up. Its abdomen was bleeding non-stop.
It was unknown if this young eagle was injured by the enemy's flying sword in the outside world, or if it was unlucky enough to be injured by the birth of the sword embryo in the peak.
Jing Jiu thought.
Everything in the world had its own path of life and death. He did not intend to interfere in this matter. He just wanted to see what would happen next.
Zhao Layue was sitting on the cliff.
Her cultivation of the Tempered Body of Sword Will had reached the most critical moment, and she was unable to get up at will.
She looked at the struggling iron eagle in Silence. There was no pity in her eyes, nor any other emotions.
Jing Jiu looked at her in Silence.
Zhao Layue moved.
She raised her hand, and a green sword light shot out from her sleeves, arriving in front of the young eagle.
Jing Jiu raised his eyebrows slightly.
Judging from the way she rode the sword, she had actually entered the State of Inherited Will.
No wonder she was born with Dao quality. But he did not know why she concealed this fact. Until now, no one in the Aoyama Sect knew about it.
Zhao Layue did not kill the young eagle to give it a quick death.
The green sword light broke through the air and returned, bringing back the young eagle.
She tore off a piece of her clothes and carefully bandaged the eagle.
Seeing this, Jing Jiu shook his head and lifted his head to look at a spot in the distance.
A middle-aged man in gray appeared on the cliff a thousand feet away.
In the peak full of sword wills and true darkness, Zhao Layue should not have been able to see him due to her state.
She lowered her head and continued to bandage the young eagle. She didn't raise her head until she finished, looking over there.
It turned out that she had already discovered him.
"You are indeed born with Dao quality and a rare talent in swordsmanship. You can actually find me from such a distance."
The middle-aged man in gray looked at Zhao Layue and said emotionlessly, "No wonder those guys on Liangwang Peak are crazy about you."
"Who are you?" Zhao Layue asked while looking at the spot where the other person was in the darkness of the night.
The middle-aged man in gray said, "My family name is Zuo."
After a moment of silence, Zhao Layue said, "You are Master Zuo of Bihu Peak."
This Master Zuo didn't carry a sword on his back, so he should be a swordsman in the State of Undefeated.
Looking at the young eagle in Zhao Layue's hand, Master Zuo said, "This little guy didn't interrupt your cultivation, but he found out your level. I didn't expect you to hide your real state and enter the State of Inherited Will at such a young age. This is really amazing."
Zhao Layue put the injured young eagle behind her and didn't answer.
Master Zuo continued, "Now I want to know two things. First, which peak chose you as the inherited sword disciple? Is it the Sect Master again? Second, if you don't die quietly tonight, I don't know what kind of chapter you will write in the history of cultivation. Thinking of this, I can't bear to see you die. "
He came to kill Zhao Layue.
The Aoyama Sect regarded Zhao Layue as a treasure, but someone actually wanted to kill her?
Standing in the darkness, Jing Jiu looked at the man in the distance and listened to the conversation, feeling puzzled.
Was this man a spy from another sect? Or was he a killer from Zhaoge City hiding in Aoyama?
How could there be a spy in the place Yuan Qijing was staring at? This was really unimaginable.
Master Zuo of Bihu Peak was just expressing his feelings, not expecting Zhao Layue's reply.
Along with his voice, a faint but cold killing intent fell on Zhao Layue from a distance of more than three hundred feet.
He was a swordsman in the State of Undefeated, but he still behaved cautiously in front of a younger disciple who was far weaker than him, because the person he wanted to kill was Zhao Layue.
He had already found out that Zhao Layue's true state was the State of Inherited Will, so he wouldn't come within three hundred feet of Zhao Layue.
Even if he had reached the State of Inherited Will, the killing range of his flying sword was no more than three hundred feet.
No matter how talented Zhao Layue was, she couldn't launch an attack from such a long distance.
At such a distance, Zuo Cidian, who was in the State of Undefeated, only needed to wave his hand to kill his opponent.
This would be a battle without any suspense.
Jing Jiu glanced at the night sky, confirming that the flying sword wouldn't be able to send the message in time.
"I don't understand what you mean, Master."
Zhao Layue was still sitting in the cliff cave. It was unclear if she couldn't leave because the Tempered Will of Sword was at a critical moment, or because she had already given up.
"Everything is chaotic when you come, but you have to know the reason when you leave."
Master Zuo said, "The reason I want to kill you is because you are investigating those things."
Zhao Layue said, "I don't know what you are talking about."
Master Zuo said, "You shouldn't be investigating those things. You are not qualified to investigate those things."
Silence, Zhao Layue looked at him and said, "So … there really is something."
"Of course there is. Otherwise, why would the Peak Master go crazy? Why would I take the risk to kill you? "
Master Zuo looked at her and said emotionally, "In fact, I don't understand. You have a bright future ahead of you. Why have you been investigating this matter for the past three years? How did you know? Why do you want to investigate? And … what do you want to find out? If I didn't have an old friend in the Curtain Rollers, I wouldn't know it was you who was investigating. "
His tone was full of regret and pity. It seemed that he really didn't want to kill Zhao Layue.
Silence. Jing Jiu listened to him without saying anything. He didn't even show himself.
"Have you ever thought about the consequences of killing me?"
Zhao Layue said while looking at the night sky.
She was the cherished future of the Aoyama Sect and had a deep relationship with a certain peak.
Even though the man in gray was her Master, he would have a miserable end if he dared to attack her.
