This was the time that truly belonged to Lou Xiaoyi. It was also the Spearpoint Town that truly belonged to him. He enjoyed this pace of cultivation very much.
One year later, Lou Xiaoyi finally gained a considerable improvement in his swordsmanship. The Four Seasons Sword and Jue City Sword had cultivated with him for several years. After the life-and-death battle with Mingcun Taoist and the damage caused by the acid fog was repaired, both of them had reached a higher level.
The direct benefit was that the Four Seasons Sword Spirit had successfully carved the ninth layer of the sword formation on the Four Seasons Flying Sword. It was a speed sword formation, so it could fly faster!
The Jue City Sword Spirit had successfully carved the eighth layer of the sword formation on the Jue City Flying Sword. It was an attack sword formation!
If one considered the progress of his magic power, the application of swordsmanship, and the growth of the Sword Spirit in this one year, his strength had taken a small step forward compared to the time when he was fighting Mingcun. He should have improved by about twenty percent. It didn't sound like much, but it was actually very amazing to have achieved this in just one year!
For most cultivators, one year was not a meaningful time. Most of them were still in the same place!
Another indirect benefit was that the two Sword Spirits finally gave in and agreed to try his experiment of balancing the fulcrum lever in the following time …
Lou Xiaoyi was about to continue working hard, but a group of uninvited guests broke into his territory!
One day, he came back from practicing swordsmanship in the Wolf Ridge and found that there were strangers in the stone tower. He was surprised and used a method to check, but it made him very confused.
"Senior Brother Guangbei, Senior Brother Yanbo, Senior Sister Yancheng, haha, it's my honor to have you here. I'll order the town to prepare some first-class banquets, all of which are local specialties of the Spearpoint Town … Haha, this small place can't be compared to the dome, but it has a different style!"
Those who came were all big brothers and big sisters. Needless to say, Yancheng was his Senior Sister who had the same name as him. She was the ice fairy who had a misunderstanding with him in the Sword Qi Rushing Heaven Pavilion. She was the object of admiration of countless people.
Yanbo, Inner Sword! It was the white-clothed assassin who protected him when he went to the Minzhou Prefecture! He always wore white clothes, always stood straight, always had his chin slightly raised, and always looked into the distance …
Guang Bei, Internal Sword! Not only was he the one with the highest seniority among them, he was probably also the one with the highest strength. He was a genial young man with a smile on his lips, making people feel close to him at first glance. He was also the leader of this group, but he rarely showed it.
Of these three, the most junior, Yan Cheng, was thirty years older than Lou Xiaoyi. Yan Bo was almost forty years older than him. Guang Bei was of the Guang generation, so he was at least fifty years older than him. He should be at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. In other words, among all the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Fifth Ring, he was at the top of the pyramid!
They were all elites of Xuanyuan's Internal and External Swordsmen. What were they doing in such a remote place like Mao Zian Town? Lou Xiaoyi had a bad premonition. He hoped that he was overthinking and that it was better to send these people away.
Guang Bei and Yanbo did not speak. Guang Bei was still smiling, while Yanbo continued to look into the distance. They probably felt that it was better to let the Swordsman handle the matters of the External Swordsmen. They were cultured people who respected Xuanyuan's traditions and self-restraint. They were all trying their best to mend the differences between the External Swordsmen and the External Swordsmen. This was also the reason why the relationship between the External Swordsmen and the External Swordsmen had gradually eased over the past ten thousand years.
However, Yan Cheng obviously could not do this. "Where did you go? You were guarding Mao Zian Town, but you were nowhere to be found. We waited for you for four hours! Is this the External Swordsmen's ethics? "
It was not good for the External Swordsmen to criticize the External Swordsmen. This was gentlemanly. However, the External Swordsmen had to be strict with themselves. This was self-discipline. They cooperated seamlessly, but their target, Lou Xiaoyi, had to make up an excuse.
"Haha, the scenery of the Wolf Ridge is strange and majestic … Haha, when I was at the dome, I always heard from the master that we, as disciples, should have more contact with nature. Only then will we have a pure and innocent heart … Haha, I, your Junior Brother, had nothing to do, so I went to embrace nature. I didn't think that I would hug it for so long. I've made all of you wait for so long.
I'm really sorry … "Yan Cheng knew that he was talking nonsense, but there was nothing he could do about this mischievous fellow. He could only change the topic.
"I heard that a year ago, you killed a Dharma Cultivator here? The one who murdered Senior Brother Guang Bei? Why didn't you report the murder? What's the person's name? Which sect is he from? Why didn't you say anything? "
It was indeed this matter! Lou Xiaoyi knew that since the High Mountain Tribesmen did not come to find him, they must have gone directly to Xuanyuan. He wondered what the sect's attitude would be if he told them the whole story.
Heh, whatever attitude they had, it was none of his business!
"Reporting to Senior Brothers and Sisters, a year ago, I did kill a Dharma Cultivator. He still had Senior Brother Guang Bei's sword talisman on him! As for his name and background, I didn't have time to find out. You all know that once the fight started, there would be no time to ask!
As for why I didn't report it, firstly, since the High Mountain Tribesmen were going to visit Xuanyuan, I could have told them all at once. Why would I waste the energy of the array? Secondly, the sect is too stingy. They only give a hundred mid-grade spirit stones for killing one outside. Now that the Dome Peak is expensive, and there are profiteers everywhere, what can a hundred spirit stones do?
That's why I'm too lazy to report it! "
Lou Xiaoyi pushed the blame to the sect. After all, he had been in the Dome Peak for a long time, so he knew some basic things. He also realized that his first kill had been taken advantage of, so he didn't dare to go to the Visitation Hall to verify it. He could only complain in front of the Inner Sword. Everyone said that the Inner Sword was fair, so he wanted to see how fair he was.
Yan Zong blushed. This Cigarette Butt really didn't know what was good for him. How could he say such things in front of the Inner Sword? Shouldn't they discuss this matter behind closed doors if they were to embarrass the External Sword Sect for no reason?
"Nonsense! How could the Visitation Hall do such a thing? The Hall Masters are all honorable people. How could they be greedy for your spirit stones? Could it be that you lied about the results of the battle and were seen through by the elders? "
Before Lou Xiaoyi could reply, Yan Bo, who was dressed in white, spoke up.
"I can vouch for this. That time when he went to Min Province, he did indeed have four heads in his account. Three of them were Wushang and one was Wan Jingliu. He stirred up quite a lot of trouble. I was the one who was ordered to send him back.
I don't know how much reward the Visitation Hall gave him, but the four heads are real. The sect has records, so it can't be fake! "
Smoky was very surprised. This battle record was already very impressive among the External Swords. Moreover, they were all disciples of large sects, not small fries and shrimps. This time, they had even killed the murderer of the Light Valley. This kind of strength could no longer be described as a coincidence!
"Alright, if this is true, I will definitely get back what you owe when I return to the mountain after the mission!
However, this is a separate matter. You have to explain the ins and outs of this incident clearly! "
