The twelve Jin Dan descended slowly and saluted from afar. One of them spoke apologetically.
"We were fighting for our own interests, but Fellow Daoist You Xing was implicated. We feel really uneasy!
At that time, spells were flying everywhere and the situation was unclear. We are willing to take responsibility for the accidental injuries. Please tell us what to do! "
Lou Xiaoyi glanced at him. This was Daoist Wei Yan from Zhijian Temple. He had the demeanor of an immortal and had the bearing of an orthodox Daoist.
"Accidental injuries are common among cultivators of our generation! Without this concept, how can we be cultivators? Why don't we go back and be peacekeepers? You don't have to take it to heart. Our Xuanyuan is a great sect and we still have this bit of magnanimity! "
Lou Xiaoyi smiled and waved his hand. "Xuanyuan intends to transfer the Ji Ma Peninsula to benefit the cultivators of the Northern Region. This is the truth. I came here with the authorization of my elders and have the responsibility to make a decision. I'm not here to blame you!
Then, have you decided who is the winner and loser? Forgive me for my poor eyesight. I came in a hurry and did not see the truth of the matter. Why don't you say it yourself? "
The Jin Dan were very surprised when they heard this! Xuanyuan agreed to let the various powers fight over the Ji Ma Peninsula. This was only a preliminary intention. They were also testing Xuanyuan's bottom line. What were their preferences? What were their conditions?
As for You Xing's death, it was not a big deal in the cultivation world. Which day did not have people dying in the cultivation world? If Xuanyuan had casualties, the other sects would have even more! Xue Shan, which had always been known for its ruthlessness, would never make a big fuss over the death of a disciple. They thought that this was a way to train their Swordsman. At most, the dead Swordsman's friends would come to seek justice. But in this kind of chaotic battle, who would know who was the culprit?
You could deal with one person, but you could not deal with an entire sect, even if the sect's strength was far inferior to Xuanyuan's!
Therefore, there was a high probability that the matter would be left unsettled. This was the reason why Yuxing died unjustly.
But now, this unfamiliar Jin Dan had boasted that he could decide the ownership of the Jima Peninsula. This surprised them. They thought that this matter would take a long time, but they didn't expect Xuanyuan to be so straightforward.
"Fellow Daoist, may I ask for your name?" Daoist Wei Yan was very cautious. Jin Dan cultivator wouldn't lie about such a promise in front of so many people, but he still needed to confirm it.
Lou Xiaoyi was very polite. "Cigarette butt! For the time being, I will take over the affairs of the Ji Ma Peninsula. Please take care of me. "
Xuanyuan's rule over the Northern Region could not be completely carried out by Xuanyuan's own Swordsman. The Swordsman was not cut out for this job! Most of them controlled the entire region through the various large and small sects scattered throughout the Northern Region. There was a limit to high pressure, and it was also undesirable. This was a governing philosophy that even the mortal world's imperial court could understand. It also gave the sects below them the soil to breed their ambitions.
In this fertile soil, ambitions fermented. When they fermented to a certain extent and developed into practical action, they would shake the control of the upper echelons. Then, there would be a bloody suppression, or the overthrow of the rebels. The rule would be maintained, or another ruler would appear, and the next cycle would begin.
Just like the various sects now, they were in the process of changing from ambition to practical action. More often than not, they were testing the waters. This cycle had been going on for tens of thousands of years. Just based on the time, Xuanyuan's control was quite effective.
But this could not stop the trend of cultivation history. No one could do it. The Sword Vein could not do it, and neither could the Dharma Vein! Taoism could not do it, and neither could Buddhism!
Everyone understood. Of course, they were very familiar with Xuanyuan's seniority. The Yan generation was less than 300 years old, and was considered a very young existence in Jin Dan. They did not know why Xuanyuan had sent such a young man to handle this matter.
They had the confidence to cause trouble. Firstly, they felt that they were not at a disadvantage when compared to Xuanyuan in Jin Dan. Secondly, they had control over the surrounding territories of the Ji Ma Peninsula. In their opinion, why would Xuanyuan need to deploy a large number of people from the Fifth Ring to a place as small as the Ji Ma Peninsula?
The Jin Dan crowd felt that this was a little sudden. Since when did they have a clear winner and loser? They were purely acting here, and conveniently killed a rash Swordsman who had obstructed them.
This time, it was Qu Shui from the Narcissus Sect who spoke. "The strength of our sects is similar, and it is difficult to determine who is better. I wonder who is more suitable in the eyes of Xuanyuan's superior?"
This was also a test. These sects were not fools. There was no reason for them to fight to the death before Xuanyuan announced the rules. The last one who won miserably might not even satisfy Xuanyuan. They needed a clear rule that they could follow!
In the Northern Domain, Xuanyuan could not make detailed rules because the place was too big. They could not control every mountain and every city. However, the Ji Ma Peninsula was different. It was small enough. To put it bluntly, it was the site of the old mountain gate of the Surging Waves Pavilion. People were interested in it because of the unspeakable things that had been proven by the Surging Waves Pavilion for tens of thousands of years. The location of the mountain gate was very important, and it could not be chosen casually.
Lou Xiaoyi was also in a difficult position. The four forces were all around the Ji Ma Peninsula. One of them was on the sea, and the other three were on the land. They surrounded the Ji Ma Peninsula so tightly that even a needle could not be inserted, and water could not be splashed in. It was also impossible to lead other forces in. If he really went to find them, he would definitely be resisted by the four forces. Because of the terrain, he could only choose between the four forces!
Thus, he muttered, "Everyone's Dao skills are profound, and your foundations are profound. Each of you has your own advantages. I am also in a difficult position … Since this is a matter of the Cultivation World, of course, strength is the most important thing. I can see that everyone's Dao skills are profound and unfathomable. As a person from the Sword Vein, I can only watch the show. In fact, I don't know much about the wonders of it.
How about this? In order to accurately measure everyone's strength, why don't I use my sword, and everyone can try to receive it. The difference in strength will be known when the sword is used. This is also a first-hand measure. In the end, the Ji Ma Peninsula will belong to whoever performs the best under the sword attack. What do you think? "
The Jin Dan crowd laughed. They were all old foxes who had lived for hundreds of years. How could they not know the true meaning of this Swordsman's words? Although it was said to measure the difference in strength with one sword, the true meaning behind it was nothing more than to find out who killed You Xing. Did he think they were fools?
But they still wouldn't refuse, because they had their own strength. How could they let someone test their strength with one sword attack? With Xu Anyuan's ability to use external swords, even if he used ten or a hundred swords, he wouldn't be able to find out anything. Because You Xing's death wasn't the work of one person, but of three! How could they test it?
Moreover, this Cigarette Butt had arrogantly said that he would decide who would belong to him after the test. They wanted to see who he would choose after the test. If he didn't choose well, it would be a group attack!
The Lone Mountain Sect's Head Horn's eyes flashed fiercely. "Fellow Daoist, are you serious? You aren't here to make fun of us, are you? "
Lou Xiaoyi sighed. "What right does this Cigarette Butt have to dare to make fun of you Swordsman? Firstly, it's a conclusion. Secondly, it's a test to see how far I can go after practicing the sword for hundreds of years. If I accidentally hurt you, please forgive me! "
Everyone's divine senses intertwined and they all agreed.
"In that case, we would like to experience Xu Anyuan's invincible swordsmanship!"
