Chapter 157 Sword Sect [3rd update, please vote!]

"Chengyang Zhenren of Qingqi Mountain".

"The Flying Cloud Taoist of Jade Bow Mountain".

"Chongwu Mountain Hunlun Sanren"

"The Incompetent Hermit of Leyou Mountain".

"Master Mingxu of Taiping Mountain".

"Xu Hongtian and his wife from Hongmei Mountain".

……

At Wanku Ridge, Qiu Wan was so shocked by the arrival of the newcomers that he clicked his tongue. Even though he was usually lawless, he dared not act recklessly in front of these extraordinary figures.

Qiu Wan only had a slight reputation in the western region, a certain prestige in Changwei Mountain, and tyrannical power in Sanyang Valley.

These are all figures who are renowned throughout the Western Regions.

There's no comparison.

They're not even in the same league.

Qiu Wan was shocked.

The leaders of various forces in Changwei Mountain are mostly only at the second or third tier of strength, and many are just barely at the level of experts. To them, Master Chengyang and others are like the heavens.

"Han Fu actually managed to invite so many important figures?"

Previously, I only knew that Han Fu had become stronger, that he had defeated Yuan Duzi, injured Yang Mo, and killed the four ghosts of Meizhuang, but it was still vague and I didn't have a specific concept.

It wasn't until today, seeing Han Fu sitting on equal footing with figures like Master Chengyang and Patriarch Mingxu, that I finally understood what kind of person Han Fu had become!

Even the most rebellious Qiu Wan calmed down and started thinking about their own ideas.

And at the head of the table.

The Flying Cloud Taoist of Jade Bow Mountain had the most fiery temper. He went straight to the point and asked Qi Sheng, "Why did you invite this old man here?"

This person was from the same era as Han Fu's father, and was on par with the Fiery Wanderer. His strength was roughly at the fifth level, not quite at the sixth level, but still a notable figure.

At his age, there was absolutely no problem in calling Han Fu "young man".

Qi Sheng smiled and said, "You are all seniors who are contemporaries of my father and even my grandfather. As a junior, Han Fu has some experience in swordsmanship. Today, I want to establish a sect here on Changwei Mountain, based on the foundation of my ancestors. I have specially invited you seniors to witness this."

They really started their own school of thought!
Master Chengyang glanced at Xu Hongtian.

Xu Hongtian remained unmoved by the eight winds.

The Flying Cloud Taoist was taken aback: "You want to establish your own sect? What will happen to the Han family?"

Qi Sheng said, "They will naturally be incorporated into the sect, and all members of the Han family will become sect members."

Daoist Feiyun shook his head: "It's not that simple."

He was a top figure, with strength only below some ancestor-level figures, but why did he only cultivate in Jade Bow Mountain and not integrate Jade Bow Mountain?
The complex web of power dynamics in the mountains is only one aspect.

More importantly, many powerful forces and strongmen around Jade Bow Mountain will not stand idly by and watch you consolidate your power, nor will they allow you to gain strength and then pose a threat or create competition for them.

For example, the two people who came this time, Hunlun Sanren and Wuneng Jushi, each have their own support forces in Changwei Mountain and quite a few properties.

What if Han Fu wants to integrate various forces and establish a sect at Changwei Mountain, and their interests are harmed?
Naturally, they will try to stop it.

Qi Sheng understood the principle, but he believed even more that might makes right.

now.

His gaze swept over the one or two hundred experts below. These people were all leaders of various forces in Changwei Mountain. There were so many who came, and there were about one or two hundred who had not yet arrived.

Qi Sheng stood up and said loudly, "Changwei Mountain is the ancestral property of my Han family. As a descendant of the Han family and the current head of the family, I have the responsibility to reclaim Changwei Mountain and strengthen the Han family. However, considering that you have all settled in Changwei Mountain and have a lot of feelings for each other, I have decided, after much consideration and discussion with the elders of the clan, to establish the 'Four Phases Sword Sect,' transforming the family into a sect, opening its gates to spread the sword techniques, and allowing all who enter to learn the 'Sorrowful Cloud Sword Technique.'"

They really want to start their own sect!
A commotion immediately erupted in the hall.

The seated Hunlun Sanren gave a look to those below, and immediately someone stepped forward and said loudly, "The Han family has its own heritage, and we, small sects and families, also have our ancestral traditions. We are all establishing our foundations on Changwei Mountain. How can Patriarch Han bear to ask us to give up?"

Qi Sheng laughed: "I have the heart to do it."

He said bluntly, "I can even disband the Han family and integrate them all into the soon-to-be-established 'Four Phases Sword Sect.' I can even take out the 'Sorrowful Cloud Sword Technique,' which my grandfather passed down and which was never to be passed on to outsiders. What is there to be reluctant about?"

Qi Sheng recognized the person who spoke: "Cui Jiayan, I remember that the Zhiyi Peak that your Cui family currently occupies was occupied by a small sect called 'Yanmeng Sect' more than 30 years ago, but it was taken over by you and your father."

Qi Sheng pointed at Cui Jiayan: "How could you bear to exterminate the Yanmeng Sect?"

Cui Jiayan could certainly refute this; there was so much to say about grudges and hatred.

But he couldn't tell.

He was being casually pointed at by Han Fu, who was high above him. He felt an overwhelming surge of sword intent and killing intent, which almost crushed him. He was like a small boat in a tsunami, unable to utter a single word. He could speak, but he dared not.

Cui Jiayan had a premonition that if he dared to talk back again, Han Fu would just slash him with his sword and send him to his death.

My life is more important!

Cui Jiayan dared not say anything more, and could only look to Hunlun Sanren for help.

Hunlun Sanren ignored him, but another person below stepped forward, indignant: "Han Fu! Our Shouzhuo Sect has built Jinyuan Valley from scratch, surely not by stealing someone else's property! If you want to forcibly seize it, I will be the first to object!"

Qi Sheng looked down and immediately laughed: "So it's Hua Gaizi, the leader of the Shouzhuo Sect of Jinyuan Valley."

The man with the canopy sneered, "So what?"

Qi Sheng ignored him at this moment and turned to Cheng Yang Zhenren, Xu Hongtian and his wife, Mingxu Laozu, and Huayan Sect Leader, and said with a smile: "The 'Four Phases Sword Sect' that I founded is divided into eight branches, each practicing the 'Eight Forms of Sorrowful Clouds'. There are eight sword masters leading each branch, which is the main branch. There are also four branch branches, each practicing Qi refining, swordsmanship, magic, and alchemy, artifact crafting, talisman arrays, etc., which are divided into four palaces. The sword sect is in its early stages and talents are scarce. At present, there is only one master in the 'Swordsmanship Palace,' whose swordsmanship is not much inferior to mine. I would like to ask you all to judge for yourselves."

As he spoke, he still didn't look at the canopy, but instead addressed a beautiful woman beside him, saying, "The Shouzhuo Sect has always used young boys and girls to practice their skills and forge weapons. This canopy once searched for the Five Yangs and Twelve Zodiac Animals to master a secret technique, killing eight hundred people in the process, just to select thirty-six eldest, middle, and youngest boys, and eldest, middle, and youngest girls from among them. He was extremely cruel and utterly wicked, and deserves to be killed!"

Han Fuchong instructed Jinggu, the master of the Swordsmanship Palace: "Huagai has committed many evils and has no remorse. Please trouble Jinggu to escort him on his way and do justice for the eight hundred people."

Jinggu stood up, her face hidden by a veil. Huagai dared not be careless and quickly urged everyone: "Han Fu, reveal your true form! He sent us here to kill us one by one, to seize our property, and to take over the entire Changwei Mountain!"

Hua Gai shouted, "Everyone, come at me together! I refuse to believe that this little Han family can withstand our attack of hundreds of people!"

This chariot caused a huge commotion.

But when he looked around, everyone was silent, and some even quietly distanced themselves from him.

Admittedly, if they all swarm in, the Han family might not be able to stop them.

But Han Fu is fierce!
The rest of the Han family do not need to live. As long as Han Fu escapes, they will face Han Fu's furious revenge without any worries.

One man, one sword. Who can stand against him?

The principle is too simple.

Therefore, the people who came here were not here to oppose Han Fu, nor were they here to overthrow the Han family. They just wanted to know what Han Fu was thinking and wanted to get a good price for themselves.

That's it.

A desperate gamble?

How many lives?

Hua Gaizi used his life to tell everyone that you only have one life.

……

"You thief! Prepare to die!"

But then, Jinggu shouted and slapped the back of her head with her jade hand. Immediately, a black light flew forward like a dragon.

Hua Gaizi was shocked upon seeing this: "They really dare to kill people!"

He hurriedly released a bluish-gray sword light to block Jing Gu's control of the black light.

Hua Gaizi initially thought Jing Gu was hiding her true identity and didn't take her seriously. However, after exchanging blows, he realized that the newcomer's flying sword was extraordinary, not only extremely dense but also heavier than Mount Tai.

He knew things were bad and wanted to retreat, but it was too late. The black sword light pressed down on him, immediately shattering his magic power and nearly turning him into a piece of stubborn iron.

"You vicious woman! How dare you hurt me!"

Hua Gaizi was furious and desperate. He tried his best to fight back with his sword, and then took out a gourd from his waist and released the Green Cloud Miasma that Zhiyi Peak had cultivated for many years.

All the people saw was a green mist about an acre in diameter rising from the canopy. The stench was so strong that they could smell it from afar. Not knowing the law, they dared not act rashly, for flying swords, being the most spiritual, were most afraid of such filth.

But Jinggu was not afraid.

The black light swirled and flowed, actually blocking the thick green mist. In a short while, the black light merely twirled within the green mist—

"what!"

A shrill scream came from inside. The green mist dispersed, revealing Hua Gai's figure, but he was already decapitated and dead.

Swish!
Jinggu recalled her flying sword, but did not move an inch from beginning to end.

That was so easy!
……

"it is good!"

"Excellent swordsmanship!"

When 'Charming Asura' Chu Yi saw Jing Gu unleash a black sword light, impenetrable as water, the sword light blocked all eight paths through which Hua Gai attempted to break through, like a curtain.

So majestic!

Upright!

Strangulate Hua Gai.

Jinggu's swordsmanship is not flashy at all, and it is even less about killing; it is more about defense, yet it can still kill.

Chu Yi herself was a master swordsman, and when she saw Jing Gu using a completely different style, she was immediately struck by her skill.

Here.

Jing Gu easily killed Hua Gaizi. Upon hearing Chu Yi's praise, she withdrew her flying sword and humbly said, "It's just a trivial skill. I dare not show it to Master Chu."

Chu Yi shook her head: "I'm only one step away from reaching the pinnacle of swordsmanship. If this is considered a trivial skill, then there are very few people in the world who would dare to say they understand swordsmanship."

She is true to her word and never lies.

Among those seated.

Hua Yan was also shocked: "Jing Gu? When did the Han family recruit such a top expert?"

That's right!

Top-tier expert!

Although Hua Yan himself was not at that level, his eyesight was truly excellent. He could tell from the brief sword fight between Jing Gu and Hua Gaizi that Jing Gu easily killed someone, that this person's swordsmanship was definitely no less than that of Yuan Duzi of the Lishan Sect.

Yet he surpasses him, the leader of the Mingxu Sect, by a great margin.

'Han Fu deliberately had Jing Gu make the move, hoping to gain the upper hand first!'

Hua Yan thought to himself.

Looking down, everyone was silent, trembling with fear.

Look around—

The aimless wanderer observes only his nose and his mind, remaining indifferent to matters that do not concern him.

The incompetent layman smiled on the outside but cursed inwardly.

Master Feiyun's face was filled with shock: "Han Fu, kid! Where did you find such a skilled swordsman? What kind of swordsmanship does he practice? Wow! Impressive!"

Qi Sheng said, "Jing Gu is a rogue cultivator from the barbarian frontier. In her early years, she accidentally obtained a sword manual and became self-taught. After that, she traveled around the mountains and rivers. Recently, she often visited Weishan and discussed swordsmanship with me. We found that we were quite compatible, so she accepted my invitation to serve as the Palace Master of the 'Sword Art Palace' in my newly created Four Phases Sword Sect. Since you are all nearby, we can visit each other more often in the future."

Casual cultivator?

Self taught?

The vast wilderness is indeed not lacking in extraordinary talents. There are those sword masters and magic experts who have emerged out of nowhere. Although they are not common, they do exist.

Perhaps Jinggu was one of them.

But most people are more inclined to believe that Jing Gu is hiding her true identity and that there are probably more secrets to her.

But now is not the time to investigate.

There's only one main topic today—

Han Fu!

Han family!

What exactly is the structure of their 'Four Phases Sword Sect'?!
