These swords exuded a frigid sword intent that was swift and fierce to the extreme.
Even more frightening was the sword energy exuded by these swords. They were like mountains, or perhaps a mountain gate made of stone.
Mount Li did not have a mountain gate. The swords were the mountain gate.
Tang Thirty-Six was not worried about the swords in the air. On the contrary, he found them very interesting.
He excitedly said to Chen Changsheng, "This is very similar to your sword style. Could it be that you were born to come to Mount Li to learn the sword?"
Zhexiu was far more sensitive to danger. He sensed that these swords could unleash a thunderous strike at any moment. He pulled Tang Thirty-Six behind him and gripped his sword hilt with his right hand.
But he had forgotten that his sword was the Demon Commander's Banner Sword. The Mount Li Sword Sect was a righteous sword sect of the human race, so it was extremely sensitive to the Qi exuded by the Demon Commander's Banner Sword.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh! The sound of something tearing through the air resounded as hundreds of swords flew over from the peak at high speed.
Chen Changsheng did not react, but he sensed the power and danger of these several hundred swords. The Divine Staff appeared on its own, radiating an incomparably bright light.
A divine Qi enveloped the stone path.
The Sword Comprehension Stone was not in the light.
All of Mount Li resounded with countless howls!
Countless swords broke through the mountains and the clouds, forming a magnificent river of swords that traveled through the mountains and protected the peaks of Mount Li!
This was Mount Li's famed Myriad Sword Array!
Although the swords in the river of swords were not as famous as the swords Chen Changsheng had taken from the Sword Pool, they were sharper and possessed an unstoppable aura.
Let alone Chen Changsheng's group, even if Zhou Dufu and the Tianhai Divine Empress were revived, they would still be incapable of directly resisting this Myriad Sword Array.
Fortunately, this river of swords that traversed the heavens only traveled through the mountains and did not immediately attack them.
Chen Changsheng and Zhexiu did not sense any killing intent and faintly understood. The former gripped the Divine Staff while the latter let go of his sword hilt and retreated several steps back.
The river of swords was high up in the sky, its awe-inspiring sword intent already descending. At any moment, it could cut everything on the stone path into pieces. It was simply impossible to resist.
Tang Thirty-Six was rather angry, thinking, Mount Li clearly knows who's coming, but they still insist on doing this. Could it be that they want to give us a show of strength?
As Chen Chang Sheng and the others retreated behind the Sword Comprehension Stone, the hundreds of swords surrounding the stone path became calmer and the vast river of swords gradually slowed down.
"How preposterous."
Tang Thirty-Six said to Chen Changsheng, "You are Senior Su Li's direct disciple, so no matter how you look at it, you are still a member of the Mount Li Sword Sect, even of the same generation as the Sect Master. These junior disciples actually dared to use the Myriad Sword Array to threaten you. Are you not angry?"
Chen Chang Sheng knew that he must be in a bad mood right now and said helplessly, "Then what do you think I should do?"
Tang Thirty-Six said, "You should join the Mount Li Sword Sect as the Pope and then take over as Sect Master, angering Qiushan Jun and those fellows to death."
When he said these words, he spoke very loudly, intentionally wanting the people of Mount Li to hear him.
"You rascal, why is your mouth still so cheap?"
A familiar voice sounded from the top of the stone path.
Tang Thirty-Six had bickered with this person many times, so how could he not understand? He sneered, "Could it be that you think what I said is completely impossible?"
Guan Feibai walked over from the stone path. He wanted to say a few words of ridicule, but when he thought about how, if Chen Changsheng really did join the Mount Li Sword Sect, with his status and seniority, Tang Thirty-Six's seemingly absurd words really might become reality, he couldn't help but slightly change his expression.
Just then, a gentle yet dignified voice came from the depths of the clouds.
"The presence of Your Holiness the Pope is an honor for all of Mount Li."
The speaker was naturally the Sect Master of the Mount Li Sword Sect.
Guan Feibai restrained his emotions, solemnly bowed to Chen Changsheng, and then led his group into the misty mountains.
It didn't take long before they arrived at a stone pavilion halfway up the mountain.
Gou Hanshi, Liang Banhu, and an elder of the Sword Hall were waiting for them here.
If the Pope had personally come to pay a visit to any other sect, they would presumably have gone out several hundred li to welcome them, and the Sect Master would certainly have come out to personally welcome them. But today, Chen Changsheng had not arranged a carriage, and the Mount Li Sword Sect was no ordinary sect. For them to do this in such a hurry was already extremely courteous.
Gou Hanshi and Liang Banhu first greeted Chen Changsheng.
The name of Liang Xiaoxiao had long since been forgotten by the common people, but Chen Changsheng could not forget it, and he was confident that Liang Banhu could not either, so his mood was a little strange.
But this mood was quickly shattered by what happened next, because that elder of the Sword Hall actually gave Chen Changsheng a deep bow.
Chen Changsheng was very shocked. It must be known that the elders of the Mount Li Sword Sect's Sword Hall were all seniors of profound cultivation and powerful battle prowess. Moreover, they were often stubborn and proud. Even if he was the Pope, logically speaking, they should not have paid such a deep bow.
He quickly recalled a matter that Guan Feibai had once told him on the journey.
A certain elder of the Mount Li Sword Sect's Sword Hall was responsible for bringing up the rear in a battle on the snowy plains. He was surrounded and attacked by several demon experts, almost dying. In the end, he had relied on a Cinnabar Pill to save his life. Now that he thought about it, that incomparably valiant elder of the Sword Hall was probably the one in front of him.
Thinking of this, Chen Changsheng hurriedly helped the elder up and then sternly returned the bow. In his view, only this elder of the Sword Hall who bathed in blood for the sake of the Human race was truly worthy of respect. In comparison, using his blood to make a few Cinnabar Pills was nothing at all.
Without another word, the group ascended to the summit.
Several hundred disciples of the Mount Li Sword Sect had already gathered at the summit. Presumably, the sword glows on the other peaks had lessened by now.
The Mount Li Sword Sect disciples watched Chen Changsheng's group walk over, their eyes rather curious and wary.
Former opponents, competitors, had now become allies, even companions.
The relationship between the Mount Li Sword Sect and the Orthodox Academy was extremely complex, so the emotions in those gazes were naturally very complex as well.
Interestingly, only a small portion of the gazes of the Li Shan Sword Sect disciples fell upon Chen Chang Sheng, and a small portion fell upon Tang Thirty Six, while the majority of the gazes fell upon Zhexiu. Moreover, they were discussing something in low voices, appearing to be slightly chaotic.
This was naturally not because of Zhexiu's illustrious reputation on the battlefield, but because of his relationship with Qi Jian.
Gou Hanshi slightly creased his brow at this sight. The expressions of the Mount Li Sword Sect disciples abruptly turned solemn, and the sounds of discussion instantly grew much quieter.
Passing through the crowd, one could see that cave shrouded in ivy in the distance. Presumably, that was the residence of the Mount Li Sword Sect Master.
There was a stone plateau in front of the cave, and it was rather high. The figure standing there was very easy to see.
Of course, even if one stood in a crowd of tens of thousands, that person would still be the first to be seen.
Qiushan Jun turned around and looked at Chen Changsheng's group.
Chen Changsheng looked at him, not knowing what to say.
Yesterday, when he had decided to come to Mount Li, he had naturally imagined this scene.
He had originally believed that Qiushan Jun would find some excuse to avoid him, but only now did he understand that if he avoided him, would he still be Qiushan Jun?
