I, a minor character, fell into the Shura field of the heroine and the villain

But there was only indifference in her beautiful amber eyes.

"What to talk about?"

"sword."

Chapter 485: Being ambushed

What is the Awakening Sword Conference?

All the monks who came to participate were not informed in advance.

This led to various speculations among the monks.

Some people think that there may be another unparalleled divine sword about to be born in the Qiankun Sword Furnace. The Long family invited many sword practitioners from all over the world to witness the birth of this divine sword.

But this explanation cannot explain why the Long family would give out a top-grade sword core as a reward.

Could it be that the Long family was so kind that they wanted to let so many sword cultivators come to let the magic sword choose a master, and then as the master of the magic sword, the Long family also gave a top-grade sword core as a gift.

This kind of thing probably only happens in dreams.

Although the Long family is a famous sword-making family in the world of immortal cultivation, they are not a famous philanthropist.

Most of the time, when monks ask the Long family to forge swords, they have to provide the materials themselves and pay an additional hefty commission.

If you are missing a piece, you may be looked down upon and kicked out of Qianlong Villa.

No one can get anything from the Long family for free, and no one dares to.

Because anyone who dared to do this in the past had been dealt with by the Long family.

Being able to stand in the world of immortal cultivation for tens of thousands of years, the Long family naturally has its own military force.

It is said that there are three Mahayana ancestors in the Long family's ancestral land. As long as they are there, no one dares to touch the Long family.

There is another widely circulated saying that before the Sword Awakening Conference began, the Long family asked participants to register their sword information during the reporting process. Some people speculated that the Long family might have run out of inspiration and wanted to seek design inspiration from the swords of so many sword cultivators.

Some conspiracy theorists believe that the Long family may want to confiscate the swords of the participants to forge a peerless divine weapon. But if they do so, aren't they afraid of offending the sword cultivators of the world?

Some smart people interpret it based on the four words "Awakening Sword Conference", but in fact it is mainly the two words "Awakening Sword".

Some believe there might be a sword hidden within the Qiankun Sword Furnace, sealed for a long time. This sword could be the Long family's treasure, holding immense significance.

This sword may have given birth to a sword spirit, but for some reason, the sword spirit fell into a deep sleep. The so-called awakening of the sword is to awaken this sword spirit.

This theory was stated with great seriousness and sounded somewhat credible. Although it was later circulated, it eventually overshadowed other theories and became the mainstream.

Before leaving for Qianlong Villa, Zhao Kangping asked, "Xueqing, what do you think the Sword Awakening Conference is about?"

Luo Xueqing had also heard the rumor, but she subconsciously felt that it was not that simple. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Isn't it what people say outside?"

"What sword do you think is more important than the Qiankun Sword Furnace?" Zhao Kangping asked instead of answering.

The Long family has forged countless swords, and all manner of stunning and awe-inspiring swords have appeared. To others, those divine weapons might be priceless, rare and unattainable.

But in the eyes of the Long family, no matter how powerful the magic weapon is, they can forge it, and none of them are irreplaceable.

But the Qiankun Sword Furnace is the lifeblood of the Long family. If the sword furnace is lost and it can no longer forge magical weapons, then the Long family's foundation of tens of thousands of years will be overturned overnight.

The Long family had offended many people in the world of immortal cultivation, and many people also gave the Long family face. If the Long family could no longer forge swords, then this face would no longer be worth anything. Those enemies who had been eyeing them for a long time might rise up and attack them.

So what really needs to wake up is not any sword, but their sword forge.

However, Zhao Kangping did not say so much to Luo Xueqing.

After they arrived at Qianlong Villa, they followed the other teams to a square.

There was a high platform in front of the square. The head of the Long family and a group of Long family members stood on the platform overlooking the crowd below.

Long Batian has a powerful and strong voice, and he has a loud voice.

This person is over 600 years old and his cultivation is at the late stage of Lianxu.

Many young people today don’t know this tough guy who is proficient in both swordsmanship and physical fitness.

About two hundred years ago, he was still in the early stage of refining emptiness.

A demon cultivator concealed his identity and commissioned the Long family to forge a sword.

After the sword was forged, the demon cultivator refused to pay the reward and fled from Qianlong Villa back to the Western Regions.

Long Batian was not at the villa at that time. After he came back and learned about this, he went to the Western Regions alone and killed his way to the Demon Sect where the demon cultivator was.

He first tried to communicate and ask for compensation. After being rejected and verbally insulted, the old man also became angry and refused to tolerate the other party.

He broke into the Demon Sect alone and found the Demon Cultivator. After asking for the sword again without success, he killed the Demon Cultivator and took back the sword.

Of course, the demon sect would not let him go easily, so they tried to stop him, but he killed them from top to bottom.

Even several of their sect leaders and elders who were at the Refining Void level were severely injured by him.

Long Batian returned to the Eastern Region in a dashing manner, which shows how powerful he is.

On this day, Long Batian finally began to explain the Sword Awakening Conference.

These participating sword cultivators will enter the small secret realm of the Qiankun Sword Furnace.

There are many tests set up inside, and everyone needs to rely on their own strength to overcome the difficulties.

Only the one who laughs last will have the chance to obtain the top-grade sword core.

Long Batian also emphasized that there is a risk of death in the secret realm, and if you cherish your life, you can quit at this time.

Also, if you have any grudges, do not resolve them in the secret realm, otherwise the Long family will not be responsible if anything goes wrong.

In order to be fair, several ancestors of the Long family have made some modifications to the rules of the Sword Furnace Secret Realm. Anyone who enters it will have their cultivation suppressed to the Nascent Soul Stage.

Of course, if someone goes in and unlocks the seal on his cultivation by himself, that is also possible, but he will be excluded from the secret realm and will be regarded as giving up the competition.

After saying a lot, he didn't tell me what kind of test was inside, and he also said that the Long family would not be responsible if anything happened.

This made many people feel uneasy and started to back off.

Quite a few people actually chose to give up participating and left the square.

"Master, isn't this a bad idea?" A middle-aged man whispered behind Long Batian.

Long Batian waved his hand and whispered, "Such a coward's sword energy or sword intent is useless to the sword furnace. It's better for him to get out of here as soon as possible."

Their whispers do not reach the ears of those below.

The Long family held the so-called Sword Awakening Conference this time, and many people came to participate, with more than 1,300 people present.

But after Long Batian said that, more than 500 people left.

If only a few people left, they would definitely feel embarrassed and ashamed to have made a fool of themselves in front of so many monks.

However, after more than 500 people left, the square suddenly became much emptier, and the remaining people began to waver.

Since so many people have left, it doesn’t seem so shameful if I leave alone.

But there were also some particularly brave people in the crowd. A young man's voice rang out in the square: "Excuse me, Senior Long, what exactly is the format of this event? Could you please explain it clearly so that everyone can have a clearer understanding?"

This is also the question in many people's minds. When someone asked it, the rest of the people breathed a sigh of relief and started to watch the show.

Some people who were about to leave stopped and wanted to see what he would say.

Long Batian, the head of the Long family, may appear rough on the outside, but he's actually quite reasonable. If you talk to him nicely, he'll calm you down.

Hearing this, Long Batian cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, don't worry about this. The difficulties in the secret realm are all manageable for those in the Nascent Soul stage. As long as everyone uses all their skills, it won't be a problem."

He still didn't say what the difficulties were, and hiding it like this wore out some people's patience.

After he said these words, nearly a hundred people left.

While talking, Long Batian was actually observing the people on the field.

Among the remaining more than 700 people, there are four people with special physiques related to kendo, more than 100 people who master the sword intent, and three people who have sword momentum.

In fact, only these people are really useful to the Long family, and the rest are just there to make up the numbers. But making up the numbers also has its uses.

"Everyone, I know you are all proud sword cultivators, so..."

"The levels we set up are all to test your kendo skills."

"If you can gain anything in the secret realm, you can take it away with you."

Lao Deng finally talked about something that interested the monks.

The remaining monks became interested, and many of them stopped and walked back.

"Everyone may be wondering why our Long family is so generous. Let me tell you the truth..." Seeing that most of the people who stayed behind had cultivation levels not lower than the Golden Core level, Long Batian began to explain.

According to him, the sword furnace needs to be replenished with the sword energy of the monks to maintain its normal operation.

This was originally a problem that the Long family could solve themselves, but unfortunately over the years, the Long family has been declining in number and has not had enough young talents, so they chose to invite heroes from all over the world to help.

That sounds quite plausible.

But Zhao Kangping just thought that Lao Deng was fooling him.

That's right, he didn't tell the truth. The real situation was far more serious than what he said.

But if you tell the truth, no one will be willing to come.

While Lao Deng was still chattering, someone walked towards the master and disciple.

"Can I team up with you?" A pleasant female voice came into their ears.

"Miss Wang." Luo Xueqing recognized the other person. It was Wang Xiaoyue from Yunyan Pavilion.

They had not had much communication between them before, but since the master had cooperated with Yunyan Pavilion, she should be someone he could trust.

Zhao Kangping also looked at the woman.

Because he is close to Aunt Yun, he also has a great liking for the Xianyun Sect.

This woman, who was supposed to be the eldest senior sister of Xianyun Sect, did not become Aunt Yun's apprentice in this life.

He was somewhat curious about what caused these series of changes.

But he didn't have to explore it.

Luo Xueqing would not make a decision easily, she looked at her man.

Wang Xiaoyue also understood that the man would be the one in charge between the two of them. In fact, she had guessed this a long time ago.

But she was more familiar with Luo Xueqing in her previous life, so she subconsciously focused her attention on her.

Zhao Kangping pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Daoyou, why don't you look for someone else?"

"Besides, we don't know what's going on inside. Aren't you afraid that we'll help you find some corner and kill someone and rob someone?"

He actually seemed a bit resistant. Could it be because he wasn't allowed to visit the old house? That was too petty.

Wang Xiaoyue smiled slightly: "I believe you won't."

Long Batian said that there are risks in the secret realm, and the Long family will not be responsible if anything happens.

Lao Deng didn't explain many things clearly, but he didn't lie about this matter.

Zhao Kangping recalled the plot. There were about 500 people who entered the secret realm, but less than 500 people came out, and most of those who came out were injured.

There seemed to be more participants this time than in the book, but this slight increase in numbers did not reduce the casualties.

"Okay then, just follow my instructions." Zhao Kangping didn't argue with her. More fighting power means more hope.

So they began to discuss the matter of the Sword Furnace Secret Realm.

……

The Sword Awakening Conference officially began, and people in the square entered the secret realm in batches.

After Zhao Kangping entered, he was randomly teleported to a certain place in the secret realm.

Luo Xueqing and Wang Xiaoyue were not with him.

Before entering the secret realm, Wang Xiaoyue prepared a missing person talisman in advance.

They each left their own breath on the talisman, and after the talisman was activated, it would automatically fly towards the person it was targeting.

Zhao Kangping has two talismans in his hand, representing Luo Xueqing and Wang Xiaoyue respectively.

Before setting off, he observed the terrain.

The environment here is roughly a large mining area, about 600,000 square kilometers.
