The Secret of the Sword Palace
"This …"
Ye Fei was completely speechless. He knew that the two honest men were evenly matched, so he could only lower his guard and humbly ask for guidance. "The Nine Heavens Sword Master only asked me to come to the Sword Palace to find a way to save her. She didn't say anything else. Senior, please tell me."
"Kid, that's more like it. Seeing that you're an honest man, this old man will be merciful and tell you." After saying that, the Slovenly Taoist looked at Ye Fei expectantly. Ye Fei was so grateful that tears flowed from his eyes. However, he was cursing in his heart.
This old Taoist was the second most annoying person in the world!
The Slovenly Taoist didn't care if Ye Fei was depressed or not. He took out a drumstick with a solemn expression and wiped it on his greasy sleeve. "Speaking of which, this is all that old fart Ling Tian's fault. I told him not to be too obsessed with breaking through to the Ancient Emperor realm, but he didn't listen and fell into a desperate situation. In the end, in order to save Ling Tian, that lass from the Si family had no choice but to take the risk and enter that dangerous place again. In the end, she also fell into it.
"Just like that, the Sword Palace lost two Sword Masters in a short period of time, causing it to fall apart. The people's hearts crumbled, and the Sword Palace turned into the Inner and Outer Sword Palace today. It was a laughingstock to outsiders, and it let down the two Sword Masters."
After saying that, the Slovenly Taoist let out a long sigh. Ye Fei finally understood why the Sword Palace fell apart. Then, he couldn't help but feel puzzled. "Aren't there other Renzu in the Sword Palace? Is there no one else who's willing to save the Nine Heavens Sword Master and Sword Venerable Ling Tian?"
The Slovenly Taoist sneered. "This is what you meant when you said that there's no one in the Sword Palace! There are only two people in the real Sword Palace. One is Ling Tian, and the other is Lass Si. The rest are cowards who are afraid of death. Back then, Lass Si invited other Renzu to save her, but no Renzu dared to go. Instead, they tried to take advantage of the vacancy in the position of Sword Master to start a power struggle. What's worse, they even wanted the Imperishable Sword Token! "
Ye Fei's head was full of black lines. If there were only two people in the Sword Palace, then what was the Slovenly Taoist? What was he and Xiao Cao?
The Slovenly Taoist's robes puffed up in anger. He said angrily, "The Imperishable Sword Token is the token of the Palace Master. How could I let this group of cowards take it? Thus, I purposely threw the Imperishable Sword Token into the Land. Who knew that this group of people would not give up? I don't know where they found the remaining descendants of the Earthly Sovereign and forcefully sent them into the Land, ordering them to find the whereabouts of the Imperishable Sword Token …"
Ye Fei also recalled that when he killed Heavenly Venerable Heian in the Land, Heavenly Venerable Heian had said that the Sword Palace would not let him go. Obviously, Heavenly Venerable Heian was the one who was sent to the Land by the Sword Palace to find the Imperishable Sword Token. However, Ye Fei was still very puzzled.
"Why is it that only the descendants of the Earthly Sovereign can enter the Land? There are so many Heavenly Venerables in the Sword Palace. Wouldn't it be better to send a few more?" Ye Fei continued to ask.
The Slovenly Taoist widened his eyes and said, "Brat, you look smart, but you are actually stupid. Do you think the Imperishable Sword Token is so easy to find? This thing is very special. It is said that it belongs to the Earthly Sovereign. Thus, it is only interested in two kinds of people. One is those who have the bloodline of the Earthly Sovereign, and the other is those who have been abandoned by the heavens."
"Especially those who have been abandoned by the heavens. It is said that this kind of people are extremely unlucky. Wherever they go, they will be beaten and killed. They are like street rats. Even if they drink cold water, they will be stuck between their teeth. It is very strange, but they are very attractive to the Imperishable Sword Token."
As he said this, the Slovenly Taoist glanced at Ye Fei. Ye Fei's face darkened. "Senior, I admit that I am a little unlucky. However, I am definitely not a street rat who will be beaten and killed. In fact, I feel that I am quite popular.
"…"
The Slovenly Taoist cast a sidelong glance at Ye Fei and sighed. "This is why I said that Lass Si has entrusted herself to the wrong person. Your skin is too thick, and your cultivation level is too low. You have no way to break in and save her."
The old Taoist shook his head. Obviously, he did not think highly of Ye Fei.
Ye Fei's face twitched. He forced himself to resist the urge to hit him and said calmly, "That is not necessarily true. No one is born strong, but I can become strong through training. The Ninth Heaven Sword Master has done me a great favor. No matter what, I will think of a way to save her. Senior, please tell me how I can save the Ninth Heaven Sword Master. "
These words were filled with sincerity. Ye Fei was indeed very grateful to the Ninth Heaven Sword Master. He was also a person who would repay kindness.
Perhaps it was because he felt this sincerity. The Slovenly Taoist looked at Ye Fei with a much gentler gaze. He said in a low voice, "If you want to save Lass Si, your current cultivation level is not enough. At the very least, you need to reach Renzu! As for the place where Lass Si is trapped, I have severed two cultivation levels to ask the most powerful diviner in the Crimson Moon Holy Dynasty to divine it. However, he only managed to get a vague image. "
As he spoke, the old Taoist waved his hand. A series of imaginary mountains appeared in front of Ye Fei's eyes. Each mountain was more majestic and terrifying than the last. Just by looking at the image, Ye Fei could feel the amazing power hidden in the mountains.
However, as he continued to look, Ye Fei's expression became strange. He vaguely felt that he had seen these mountains somewhere before. However, the image was too blurry. Ye Fei could not recall where he had seen them before.
At the same time, the old Taoist's action of severing two cultivation levels also shocked Ye Fei. Didn't this mean that this sloppy old Taoist was once a Renzu? He had only regressed to half-step Divine Lord after severing his cultivation levels.
"No wonder this old Daoist was able to beat up two Divine Lords with just a few chicken bones," Ye Fei muttered to himself. At this moment, a ear suddenly came over and asked, "Kid, what did you just say?"
Ye Fei almost made a move. He hurriedly replied solemnly, "I said, Senior's righteousness is as high as the sky. You are truly unprecedented. I admire you from the bottom of my heart."
"Haha, not at all. It's because I'm old friends with that old fart Ling Tian. I also watched Lass Si grow up. If I don't do it, who will?"
The Slovenly Taoist beamed. He suddenly found Ye Fei more pleasing to the eye. He patted Ye Fei with his greasy hand and said, "Young man, don't feel pressured. Since you call Lass Si brother and sister, you must be anxious to save her. How about this? I won't give you too much pressure. Within ten years, you will break through to Renzu. Then, you and I will go to the mountains to save her."
The Slovenly Taoist said this matter-of-factly. However, Ye Fei almost vomited blood when he heard this. Break through to Renzu in ten years?
This was not giving him too much pressure?
Some people might not be able to break through to Renzu even after decades, let alone ten years. They might not even be able to break through to Divine Lord even after hundreds of years. However, this old Taoist wanted him to break through to Renzu in ten years. Ye Fei suddenly had the urge to turn around and leave.
