They are the women standing behind me.

Qin Xingyuan was a little suspicious, wondering if he had traveled to the deep mountains and forests in the Changsheng Realm?

"Junior Brother Qin, many powerful treasures are not natural treasures. Many cultivators have no use for them. Moreover, unless you have a relationship like the one between Xu Xingwei of the Sword Sect and the seven swords of the Sword Sect, you can't communicate with them at all."

Gu Yirou also transmitted a voice message: "But they have their own spirituality. The longer they exist, the more terrifying their spirituality becomes. If you can't use them, you can only offer them to the sect for contribution points or sell them for money. So, even if the most powerful and ancient treasure is given to you, as long as you don't recognize you, you can't use it at all. Holding it is no different from holding a piece of scrap metal."

At this time, the ancestor of the Shen family patted the scabbard of the heavy sword. After it flew in front of Qin Xingyuan, it stood upright and fell straight down, as if a huge and heavy object suddenly fell to the ground.

There was a deafening explosion, and spider-web-like cracks spread in all directions, just like an earthquake that happened suddenly without any warning, and the whole place was shaken.

Gu Yirou was startled and turned her head to look at Qin Xingyuan immediately. She found that his face looked normal and he raised his right hand to hold the hilt of the sword.

'bass! ’

The sound of the heavy sword being unsheathed was like thunder in the sky, like mountains and rivers collapsing, a mighty and complete explosion that shocked everyone. At the same time, everything in the main hall was crushed and turned into powder.

Many people's faces suddenly changed, their bodies shook, as if their souls and spirits were completely terrified, and they all retreated at the same time.

The same was true for Shen Haoqiong, who was standing next to Qin Xingyuan, and he seemed to want to retreat far away.

Although Gu Yirou subconsciously took two steps back, she immediately came to her senses and came to Qin Xingyuan's side as if under great pressure.

Not to mention her, everyone present, including the ancestor of the Shen family, felt as if a towering mountain was completely pressing down on them when they looked at the heavy sword that was as black as ink, and their minds seemed to be broken.

"The sword's name is engraved on it!"

The ancestor of the Shen family shouted immediately.

Qin Xingyuan turned the heavy sword horizontally, with one side facing up and the other side facing down, and saw a word engraved on the sword below the hilt.

The moment he saw it, he felt as if an extremely terrifying invisible force instantly penetrated his entire body, and his heart was actually stirred.

Qin Xingyuan found it a little unbelievable that the power of a single word engraved on the sword could be so fierce and terrifying?

Which great man used this heavy sword?

"beg?"

Gu Yirou stared at the word, her face extremely pale and bloodless, and she swallowed hard.

Qin Xingyuan turned the sword, with the other side facing up.

The other word turned out to be...

defeat!

"The sword's name is Seeking Defeat?!"

Gu Yirou took a few breaths of cold air, and the old man of the Shen family's expression suddenly changed, and he felt terrified in his heart.

These two words...

Too appalling!

Who dares to seek defeat?

Who is seeking defeat? !

How arrogant and conceited are these two words?!

But it also seems to be filled with the deep helplessness of wanting to be defeated but it is impossible, and even being defeated is just a luxury fantasy?

In the end, I had no choice but to carve words on the sword, pass it on to the world, and tell future generations that I only wanted to be defeated.

Shen Haoqiong and the other members of the Shen family present all widened their eyes, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

"Seeking defeat?"

Qin Xingyuan looked solemn. It was strange that he felt that this heavy sword should be extremely heavy, but when he held it in his hand, he could hardly feel any weight at all. It was truly as light as a feather.

He waved gently.

The heavy sword seemed to be extremely sharp, indestructible and could break anything. The nearby void was so turbulent that visible cracks appeared, as if it was about to be crushed to complete collapse.

Even an extremely powerful and domineering sword force that seemed invincible and unstoppable burst out completely, as if it could shake the heavens for eternity.

Chapter 48? Xingwei, you are misleading me!

Qin Xingyuan felt like he was standing in the center of a storm, yet he seemed to feel nothing. He was in a good mood. No matter who had used this heavy sword, it was definitely extraordinary.

Who wouldn’t be happy to get a treasure? Who wouldn’t be happy?

But it is a matter of gratitude. I wonder what the ancestor of the Shen family wants to ask from Guiyi Ling or the master!

"Junior Brother Qin is truly an unrivaled genius, a genius that has astonished the world since ancient times. This old man has no way to deal with this treasure, but now it has become obedient in Junior Brother Qin's hands. It is true that spiritual treasures can sometimes judge people better than humans."

The Shen family's ancestor praised generously, "It's a pity that although this heavy sword has spiritual power, Junior Brother Qin has no blood relationship with the owner who used it, so they can't communicate. Otherwise, he might have learned many sword techniques and formations. However, I believe that Junior Brother Qin will definitely create many traditional techniques in the future. Why would he need to use others'?"

A black and white sword case appeared behind Qin Xingyuan. He put the pitch-black heavy sword back into the scabbard and placed it into the sword case, and the sword case disappeared.

"I have never heard of this sword. This sword may be the hidden sword of some great figure, so there is no record of it."

The Shen family's ancestor took the initiative to speak again: "Of course, it may also be that I am ignorant."

"Junior Brother Qin, a hidden sword is one that has never been used in public. Of course, for sword cultivators, a hidden sword is often the most powerful sword. It depends on others whether it is worthy of their use. Since this heavy sword is unknown and there is no record of it, it is obvious that the former owner of this heavy sword never met anyone worthy of using this hidden sword, and may not have used it even once."

Gu Yirou transmitted a message, "Senior Sister feels that this might be the hidden sword of an invincible swordsman. After all, the words 'seeking defeat' already explain too much. And looking back over the long period of five million years, there are only six swordsmen who can achieve the ultimate invincibility through the swordsmanship. Although I don't know how many there are, there are still six."

She knew that the ancestor of the Shen family would definitely be able to hear her voice transmission, but no one else could, and the ancestor of the Shen family would naturally not be so tactless as to interrupt.

"Only six people?"

"Sword Ancestor, Sword Demon, Sword Saint, Sword Maniac, Sword Madman, Sword Lord, these are all titles. For example, Xu Chengdao is titled Sword Madman because the names of his only seven remaining swords are very arrogant: Heaven-Suppressing, World-Breaking, Dao-Slaying, Law-Breaking, Immortal, Questioning Immortality, and Eternal. Each of these swords corresponds to an extremely powerful sword formation. Without that sword, it cannot be performed."

Gu Yirou transmitted a message, "For example, the Heavenly Suppression Sword is an essential flying sword for the Heavenly Suppression Sword Formation. Junior Brother Qin, don't underestimate the Sword Sect. Xu Chengdao's lineage is truly terrifying. It can only be said that the Sword Sect's descendants are truly unworthy, allowing Xu Chengdao's lineage to be tarnished."

"That should rule out Xu Chengdao, right?" Qin Xingyuan asked in a voice transmission. "After all, he founded the sect, so even if Hidden Sword remains with the sect, right?"

"Well, of course we have to rule out the Sword Master. This heavy sword, judging from its name, Senior Sister thinks it should be the hidden sword of one of the other four."

Gu Yirou transmitted her voice, "The Sword Master used plants and trees as swords to kill his enemies, and eventually, he used mountains and rivers, the world, and even the heavens and the earth as swords. As long as he wanted, everything was his sword. The Sword Master was also the only sword cultivator throughout history who didn't initially use a sword, but instead used other objects as swords... He has a golden saying that he passed down through the ages: if you have a sword in your heart, then everything is a sword, no matter how it is shaped."

Although the Shen family patriarch knew that they were communicating, the atmosphere had become somewhat awkward after no one spoke for a long time. He could only smile and say, "Junior Brother Qin, Junior Sister Gu, you two should go to Tianzi Yayuan and rest for a while."

Let the two of them talk it out in private.

Then he ordered a family elder to take them there.

Qin Xingyuan and Gu Yirou left.

The smile on the Shen family's ancestor's face completely disappeared, his face expressionless, his voice no longer kind, but very serious: "This matter must not be leaked. These are the only people present. It would be easy for the ancestor to investigate. You go ahead, Hao Qiong, you stay, the ancestor has something to discuss with you."

All the people from the Shen family present left immediately.

"Ancestor!"

Shen Haoqiong, who was left behind, called out respectfully before asking, "Why isn't the Patriarch here?"

The Shen family's ancestor said lightly, "He can't even manage his own daughter, how can he manage a family? This is one time when the ancestor was blind and misjudged the person."

Shen Haoqiong frowned, feeling that things must be complicated.

"Shen Qingshu has been in contact with Yu Leyu, a disciple of the Sword Sect."

The Shen family's ancestor said calmly, "This isn't a big deal. Just handle it properly. Even if you're reluctant to kill Shen Qingshu, you can immediately destroy her cultivation, declare that she has committed an unforgivable crime, expel her from the family, and have nothing to do with our Shen family. As someone in power, you have to be ruthless, and your methods must be even more ruthless."

Shen Haoqiong's face darkened, and he said in disbelief and anger, "What a jerk! With the current relationship between the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect and the Sword Sect, she's actually still associating with the Sword Sect's disciples?!"

"Hao Qiong, your anger is useless."

The Shen family ancestor said calmly, "The Shen Zhen clan gave Shen Qingshu time to think about it, but she ended up running away and finding Yu Leyu. Since then, she has never returned to the clan."

"Ancestor, how dare she come back?" Shen Haoqiong gritted his teeth.

"She had already told Yu Leyu that Qin Xingyuan was coming to attend the ancestor's birthday celebration, so Yu Leyu came here specially..."

There was no trace of laughter in the turbid old eyes of the Shen family's ancestor, but a smile appeared on his face, seemingly fake. "My Shen family has also produced an extraordinary member of the clan."

Shen Haoqiong was furious and said, "Grandfather, Sword Sect's Yu Leyu is definitely going to cause trouble for Senior Brother Qin!"

"Even a fool can see it clearly." The ancestor of the Shen family said lightly.

"If I make Senior Brother Qin unhappy... even if Senior Brother Qin doesn't tell anyone when he returns to the sect, if Sword Sect's Yu Leyu really does cause trouble for Senior Brother Qin, with so many people in Fengyun City watching closely, how could the news not spread?"

Shen Haoqiong said with some worry, "Even though it's just the three of us on the surface, how could the sect not arrange for someone important to secretly follow Senior Brother Qin when he's traveling? At the very least, he's a powerful figure who would have to make time to secretly follow him. Maybe he's even at the Hedao realm. Even if the sect's important figures don't show up, they'll still see it. Knowing that my Shen family is guarding Fengyun City on behalf of the sect..."

The Shen family's ancestor closed his eyes, motionless, as if asleep. Then he said, "Anyway, no matter what the reason, the disciples of the Sword Sect have been coming in groups, openly and arrogantly, deliberately causing trouble and bullying others on other people's territory. The ancestor doesn't believe that if this gets out, the outside world will still praise such behavior. So, more people are good. More people will make them appear more arrogant and domineering. After all, it's difficult for one person or a few people to rise to the level of an entire sect in the eyes of the outside world, but a large group... of course, it's different."

Shen Haoqiong was stunned when he heard this, his face changed slightly and he said, "Ancestor, are there still many sword sects in Fengyun City..."

……

Sword Sect, the ninth floor of the Sword Tower.

Xu Xingwei is here.

In fact, she also has a mission, which is to persuade the Zhentian Immortal Sword to return to its place to protect the sect.

The Heavenly Suppression Immortal Sword then communicated with her, chattering non-stop, "Xingwei, are you truly unwilling to endure humiliation for the Sword Sect? We must do this for the Sect..."

"You don't have to say it anymore."

Xu Xingwei said softly.

After all, if she really took the Zhentian Immortal Sword with her, would she be able to return to the Sword Sect in the future?

Moreover, the Sword Sect's darling daughter, a descendant of the founder of the sect, brought the sect's guardian sword with her to Qin Xingyuan, who repeatedly and openly humiliated the Sword Sect...

How could this be a complete loss of face for the Sword Sect?

She couldn't and didn't dare to do it, and she didn't even dare to think about it.

"How about you untie the chains, Xingwei?"

The Heavenly Immortal Sword said in a low voice, "I will bear the humiliation with one sword. Otherwise, what if other swords take advantage of the opportunity and cuckold me? This, this makes me so cuckolded that it shines. I think I should change my name to Green Heavenly Immortal Sword."

Xu Xingwei's face darkened when she heard this, and she could only say, "You'd better give up that idea and return to your position as the guardian of the sect. Besides, the sword seal is really not something I can break."

She discovered that the Heavenly Immortal Sword was trembling violently, as if deliberately exaggerating. "Xingwei, you're not only misleading me! You're also misleading yourself! You're even misleading the entire Sword Sect!"

"Uh……"

"Xingwei, who in the Sword Sect looks favorably upon Qin Xingyuan?"

The Celestial Sword was extremely excited. "If we can cause trouble for him, if we can make things difficult for him, who wouldn't want to do it? But if we really only focus on one person, our vision will be narrow, and we won't consider too many pros and cons. It's like a person who wants revenge and doesn't care whether innocent people will be affected. This will definitely make the conflict worse. Once Qin Xingyuan grows up, I guess..."

"Qin Xingyuan is staying in the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect and won't come out. My disciples want to find trouble with him, but for now, they can only think about it."

Xu Xingwei said slowly, "Besides, our identities are all extremely special, and Qin Xingyuan has such a close relationship with our sect. Some things are really unacceptable. No matter how much you say, even if I really agree with you in my heart, I can't do it."

She finished her words, sighed, turned around and left.

"Xingwei, you are misleading me! You are misleading me!"

As she walked further and further away, the sound of the Heavenly Sword gradually disappeared.

Afterwards, Xu Xingwei came to the main hall of the sect, looked at the sect leader Zhan Jingzhong, and said, "Master, the Heavenly Immortal Sword is still unwilling to return to its place."

Zhan Jingzhong was about to speak when Xu Xingwei saw that Chen Taishang had arrived.

She was suspicious, but she greeted him and asked, "Master Zhan, Master Chen, what's going on?"

The Supreme will only come to the sect’s main hall when there is something important.

"Recently, many disciples in the early and middle stages of the Golden Core Realm have left the sect and headed for Fengyun City, which is on the territory of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect. There are almost a hundred of them in total."

Zhan Jingzhong said calmly: "They are all good seedlings worth cultivating in the sect. They are all people who can get into the top 100 of their level in every sect competition."

Xu Xingwei seemed to realize something when she heard this. Her expression changed as Chen Taishang spoke up. "Apart from Qin Xingyuan, there couldn't be anyone else who could have drawn them over there. Qin Xingyuan is probably in Fengyun City right now..."

Zhan Jingzhong frowned and said in a deep voice, "The Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect might suspect that it was my sect that was behind this."

"It would be a miracle if I didn't doubt it!"

Chen Taishang's face was gloomy, and his voice was filled with anger. "Jingzhong, now that you know the truth, have you investigated the cause of the incident? If not, you, the head of the sect, should step down. I will replace you!"

He was obviously furious, that's why he said that.

"Master Chen, I've investigated thoroughly. Yu Leyu, who is in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm of our sect, is acquainted with the Shen family. The Shen family contacted him and told him that Qin Xingyuan was coming to attend the Shen family's ancestor's birthday celebration. He then went over and later contacted some other disciples in the same realm and asked them to go as well."

Zhan Jingzhong said, "But those disciples of the same realm spread the news privately, so many disciples rushed over. And because the sect ordered us not to clash with Qin Xingyuan again, they colluded with each other and concealed it very well. No one failed to report it to the sect. Even if I hated Qin Xingyuan so much, if I knew, I would definitely..."

"Assholes! What a bunch of assholes! Isn't this openly and loudly telling everyone that the Sword Sect's members are deliberately looking for trouble with Qin Xingyuan?! Do they think the Sect hasn't lost face enough?! Are they really brainless?! Or do they dislike Qin Xingyuan so much that they don't care about anything else?!"

Chen Taishang was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He said angrily, "Quick, send someone, no, I will go there myself. If they really only focus on Qin Xingyuan, they will definitely try every possible way to cause trouble for Qin Xingyuan, and they may even use any means necessary!"

After all, the disciples with lower realms are all young and full of vigor. They are definitely brave, especially now that no one in the Sword Sect likes Qin Xingyuan. They probably want to humiliate him severely. Everyone has a common hatred for the enemy, so the atmosphere will definitely be heated up and it will be difficult to cool down.
