The last person in the Qingyun Taoist Sect is Ye Ping. Getting first place is a bit exaggerated, but at least you should be in the top ten, right? So Su Changyu had to remind Ye Ping a few things, so as to prevent Ye Ping from becoming too proud and arrogant, which would cause him to capsize in the ditch, which would be disastrous. "What my senior brother taught me is that I will definitely try my best and leave no regrets." Ye Ping nodded. What Su Changyu said made sense, and he thought so too. This was his first battle in his life, and even if the opponent was really a nobody, he would never take it lightly and would use all his strength to face this battle. "Master, what you said makes sense. Moreover, this Qingzhou Sword Competition is indeed full of hidden talents. Even Sikong Jiantian is here. Master, is the reason you participated in the competition just to fight with Sikong Jiantian?" Li Yu on the side also agreed seriously, with curiosity in his words. Just after hearing these words, Su Changyu was shocked. "Sikong Jiantian is here too?"
Su Changyu was shocked. He had been staying in the guest room these days studying sword-keeping techniques and had paid no attention to what was happening outside. He had no idea that Sikong Jiantian had also come. However, the more shocked Su Changyu was, the calmer he seemed to others. Therefore, Li Yu did not notice anything unusual, on the contrary he was a little surprised. "It turns out that Master Uncle didn't participate in the competition for Sikong Jiantian." Li Yu was a little surprised. Many strong men came to the Qingzhou Kendo Conference this time, and the most famous one was Sikong Jiantian. I thought Su Changyu participated in the competition because he heard that Sikong Jiantian was also participating, so he wanted to compete with Sikong Jiantian. But now it seems that Su Changyu didn't even know Sikong Jiantian at all. "Master, I participated in this competition purely for enlightenment, not targeting anyone." Su Changyu explained casually, and then continued: "Why is Sikong Jiantian here? How did a small Qingzhou Kendo Tournament attract him?" Su Changyu was very curious. He knew who Sikong Jiantian was. He was hailed as a rare swordsmanship prodigy in Qingzhou and was the faith of the younger generation of sword practitioners in Qingzhou. However, he did not expect that such a famous figure would come to the ancient city of Qingzhou and even participate in the competition. Don’t talk about Su Changyu. Even Ye Ping, who didn't know much, knew Sikong Jiantian. He had seen information about Sikong Jiantian in the "Qingzhou Chronicles" in the Sutra Library. "If I am not mistaken, Sikong Jiantian should have other purposes for participating in this Qingzhou Kendo Conference, but I don't know the specifics." Li Yu answered calmly, believing that Sikong Jiantian absolutely could not have come to Qingzhou just to participate in the competition. "There must be something else." Su Changyu couldn't help but nodded. After all, Sikong Jiantian's status was too transcendent. To put it bluntly, let alone participating in the Qingzhou Kendo Conference, even if he was invited to be a judge, it would be a waste of his talent. After saying this, Su Changyu didn't care about these trivial matters anymore. He told Ye Ping a few words to learn the sword well, and then left. Wait until Su Changyu leaves. Ye Ping and Li Yu were the only ones left in the guest room. In the room, calming incense was burning, and Ye Ping's mind was full of thoughts about tomorrow's kendo conference.
But suddenly, Li Yu's voice broke the silence. "teacher." Li Yu spoke, causing Ye Ping to regain his thoughts. He looked at Li Yu with some curiosity, but said nothing, waiting for what to come next. "Teacher, there are some things that I don't know whether I should tell you. In short, if you meet some strange or suspicious people these days, you must avoid them, otherwise you will get into trouble." Li Yu spoke up and reminded them. After hearing this, Ye Ping became a little curious. Why do you suddenly say such things? Also, what does this mean? Ye Ping's eyes were full of doubts, and Li Yu finally gritted his teeth and said, "Teacher, I shouldn't have said this. This is a court secret and involves a lot of things. But I believe that your identity is clean, so I'm reminding you." "The court received a secret report that the Demon God Cult has revived, and it seems that they are going to use the 33 states of Jin as their target to launch a plan to kill geniuses and gain prestige. Now the whole Jin State has deployed everything, but the Demon God Cult is vicious and extremely forbearing, and has even infiltrated the court." "We don't know who the Demon God followers are, nor do we know when or where they will strike. The only thing we know is that they will definitely strike, so you must be on guard these days, teacher, and don't get into any danger." Li Yu said this while gritting his teeth. These words surprised Ye Ping. Although he didn't know what the Demon God Cult was, he knew it must be an evil sect as soon as he heard it. He just didn't expect to run into it himself. "Since there is danger, why not cancel the Kendo Tournament?" Ye Ping frowned slightly. "Teacher, there's no point in cancelling it. The Demon God Cult has a great history, and its disciples are good at forbearance. Once the sword competition is cancelled, it will expose the court's spies. In addition, even if it is cancelled, what will happen next time and the next time?" "But teacher, you don't need to worry too much. Qingzhou has already planted many strong men hiding in the dark. If the beasts of the Demon God Cult really dare to show their heads, I guarantee they will never come back. I even speculate that Sikong Jiantian came to Qingzhou for this matter." Li Yu said this because he didn't want to burden Ye Ping too much. He said these words purely because he wanted Ye Ping to be on guard. "understood." Ye Ping nodded. He didn't want to get involved in such right and wrong. He just wanted to cultivate himself to be an immortal. It didn't matter whether he became famous or not. When he had cultivated to the limit, he would retire from the immortal world and enjoy life in the mortal world. This is Ye Ping's purpose of cultivating immortals. He has no interest in fighting for supremacy or becoming king. All he wants is to live his life well. "Teacher, I can only tell you this. Master Uncle is a casual person. I am worried that Master Uncle doesn't care and will spread the word. That would be a serious crime for me, so I must not spread it." Li Yu reminded. And Ye Ping also nodded heavily. He could see that Li Yu told him this secret under pressure, so Ye Ping was very grateful. However, Ye Ping was not very worried about this matter. Not to mention that the imperial court had already issued a warning, and secondly, even if they really encountered some so-called disciples of the Demon God Cult.
so what? I have the protection of my senior brother, so what am I afraid of? Soon, Ye Ping began to think about tomorrow's sword test. And at this moment, in the City Lord’s Mansion. Chapter 93 Sikong Jiantian, Jiantianyuan [New Book Request Everything] Inside the Qingzhou City Lord’s Mansion. In the lobby. The Lord of Qingzhou City looked at the man in front of him with great respect. The man was seven feet tall, wearing a white robe. His flowing hair made him look even more elegant, and his face was extremely handsome, but he had covered his eyes with a white cloth. This is Sikong Jiantian, an admirer of the younger generation in Qingzhou and the only sword cultivator in Qingzhou in the past three hundred years to enter the Ten Nations Academy. The Sikong Jiantian in front of him has a much higher status than him, the Lord of Qingzhou City. Even the royal family of Jin State has to show some courtesy to Sikong Jiantian. In the world of cultivating immortals, strength is supreme. Whether it is the imperial court or a sect, when your personal strength surpasses everything, you can be above everything. "May I ask, Brother Sikong, why did you come to the City Lord's Mansion?" The Lord of Qingzhou City looked towards Sikong Jiantian, and his words and actions were extremely respectful. "The traces of the Demon God Cult have been revealed. I have been ordered to come here to investigate. This time, the Demon God Cult intends to assassinate the genius of Jin State in order to revive and show its power to the ten countries. I don't know what changes have taken place in Qingzhou City?" Sikong Jiantian spoke calmly, but because he had covered his eyes, it was impossible to tell what his expression was. "The Demon Cult? Are they showing up again?" However, the Lord of Qingzhou City could not help but look surprised, as if he heard the news for the first time. "Lord City Lord, please stop pretending. Since we are here to obey orders, we already have some information." Sikong Jiantian continued to speak. "May I ask, Brother Sikong, whose orders are you following? I really don't know." The Lord of Qingzhou City still looked completely unaware. After saying this, Sikong Jiantian was not angry at all, but just took out a command arrow. The command arrow is octagonal in shape and made of iron, with the words "Jiantian" written on the front. In an instant, the expression of the Lord of Qingzhou City changed drastically, and he bowed respectfully to Sikong Jiantian. "Chen Zheng greets His Excellency." Qingzhou City Lord Chen Zheng appeared extremely respectful, several times more respectful than before. His previous respect was due to the other party's identity, but now it was because of the relationship between superiors and subordinates. He really didn't expect that the Sikong Jiantian in front of him actually joined the Daxia Jiantian Academy.
That’s right, it’s the Daxia Jiantianyuan. This is an important institution of the Great Xia Dynasty that is superior to the Ten Kingdoms. The so-called Jiantianyuan means to monitor the heaven and earth on behalf of God. It is directly under the Emperor of Xia and has the power to execute first and report later. It can control people's livelihood, agriculture and commerce, and control court officials. Moreover, once the Inspectorate issues an order, all the immortal sects, Taoist sects and major dynasties within the Great Xia Dynasty must fully cooperate. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy. This is the horror and power of the Heavenly Supervisory Institute. But not everyone can enter the Jiantian Academy. Only the genius among geniuses has the opportunity to enter the Jiantian Academy's vision. Remember, it is to enter the vision, not to enter the Jiantian Academy to hold a position. This is also the fundamental reason why Chen Zheng's expression changed drastically when he saw this token. Among the Ten Kingdoms, there is a saying that goes, "It is better to join the Jiantian Academy than to be a king." The meaning is very simple, that is, one would rather join the Jiantian Academy than become the king of a country. For Chen Zheng, Jiantianyuan is extremely far away from him. Even the difference between the two is so huge that there is no comparison at all. Even the crown prince of Jin is no match for the envoys from Jiantianyuan, even the most ordinary ones. After taking back the command arrow, Sikong Jiantian did not put on the airs of an angel in prison. Instead, he spoke as he did before. "Now you can tell me." Sikong Jiantian spoke up and asked this. "My Lord Sikong, a few months ago, the Jin court issued a notice to dispatch 3,000 elite cavalry to ambush in Qingzhou City. However, due to the Qingzhou Sword Competition, there are so many people in the ancient city that it is difficult to investigate one by one. So far, no trace of the Demon God Cult has been found." The Lord of Qingzhou City told him everything. "Hasn't it been found out yet?" Sikong Jiantian's voice sounded somewhat doubtful, but after thinking for a moment, he continued, "That's right, the Demon God Cult is very smart, they should have known about your deployment a long time ago. I expect them to take action either at the Qingzhou Sword Conference or at the end of the Qingzhou Sword Conference." "The Lord City Lord still needs to control the situation carefully these days. If it happens outside the city, it's still fine. But if a fight breaks out inside the city, if a genius dies, I believe the Lord City Lord may lose his official uniform." Sikong Jiantian said calmly. After saying this, Chen Zheng quickly spoke. "I will protect the heroes of Qingzhou even if I die. I will never let the Demon God Cult succeed. However, since Lord Sikong is here this time, I think the Demon God Cult will not dare to launch a surprise attack. After all, Lord Sikong is famous in all ten countries. Who would dare to confront him?" Chen Zheng said so, and at the same time flattered Sikong Jiantian. However, Sikong Jiantian chuckled, as if he really enjoyed this kind of flattery, but soon he shook his head. "No, it is precisely because of my arrival that the Demon God Cult will definitely raid Qingzhou. Their plan is to assassinate geniuses in order to spread their power among the Ten Kingdoms. It would be meaningless to assassinate ordinary geniuses, no matter how many they kill. But if they assassinate me, it will be different. If a sword genius with a reputation among the Ten Kingdoms dies in the hands of the Demon God Cult, tut tut..." Sikong Jiantian stopped talking here, but Chen Zheng could still understand his meaning. At that moment, Chen Zheng said with awe. "I didn't expect that you would risk your life and use yourself as bait to lure the Demon God Cult into the trap. I really admire your broad-mindedness!" "Oh, no, your Excellency risked his life, just like the Buddha cutting off his flesh to feed the eagle. Sir Sikong, you are truly a great man." "I will immediately have someone prepare a feast to honor you for your great deed."
Chen Zheng was flattering the person seriously, and his words were extremely corny, making people feel inexplicably... awkward. But Sikong Jiantian shook his head. "That's not necessary. Also, don't think so highly of me. I'm just following orders. I can't say I'm great." "Okay, now that I know the situation, I'll leave." Sikong Jiantian is not at all pretentious. He speaks from his heart. He does not need to hide or pretend. He is just as he is. "Master Sikong, take care."
