There are three lower-grade sword sects in Qinglan Mountain, namely Qinglan Sword Sect, Qingfeng Sword Sect and Qingshui Sword Sect.
In terms of age, Qinglan Sword Sect is indeed older, while Qingfeng Sword Sect and Qingshui Sword Sect are later-comers. In terms of overall strength, Qinglan Sword Sect has a deeper foundation and is also a bit stronger.
Therefore, Qinglan Sword Sect has always considered itself to be the orthodox sect of Qinglan Mountain. From the headmaster to the elders to the disciples, they all think that Qingfeng Sword Sect is better than Qingshui Sword Sect.
In the Valley of Beasts, the sun shines through the sparse branches and leaves and falls on the ground, forming countless mottled silhouettes.
Five people, four men and one woman, are walking in the woods. Three of them are wearing blue gowns and two are wearing brown gowns. They look young, less than 20 years old.
The one walking in front was a male swordsman of eighteen or nineteen years old, with his hair tied up in a crown, handsome and elegant, tall and handsome, with a pair of eyes that were shining and sharp. He held the sword in his left hand and his right fingers were slightly bent. He was obviously the backbone of the five people. The other four were two on the left and right sides and two behind him.
"This time, if it weren't for Senior Brother Li's profound cultivation and amazing swordsmanship, I'm afraid we would not only be unable to do anything to the iron-armed ape, but would even die under its iron arms." The female swordsman on the left said in a delicate voice, looking at the leading male swordsman with eyes full of admiration and love.
The female swordsman's appearance was only good, but her body was slightly plump. The well-cut blue women's gown outlined her slender figure, which was even more charming, making the leading male swordsman smile complacently.
"That's right, Senior Brother Li is worthy of being Elder Yaori's last disciple. He has learned the Yaoyang sword technique from the elder and has mastered it. At the age of 18, he has cultivated to the late eighth stage of the sword energy realm. This talent is one of the best among the inner disciples of our Qinglan Sword Sect." The male swordsman on the right quickly echoed and laughed: "If we compare the Qingfeng Sword Sect and the Qingshui Sword Sect, Senior Brother Li can sweep away their inner disciples with just one sword in his hand."
"How can the Qingfeng Sword Sect and the Qingshui Sword Sect be compared with our Qinglan Sword Sect." The leading male swordsman Li He said, his voice was slightly low, and his tone was even more arrogant: "One day, I will personally attack the Qingfeng Sword Sect and the Qingshui Sword Sect, sweep away all the inner disciples of the two sects, and let them know that Qinglan Mountain belongs to our Qinglan Sword Sect. The two sword sects are not qualified to stay here and must get out of Qinglan Mountain."
"That day, I will hold the sword for Senior Brother." The female swordsman said in a delicate voice.
"I will wave the flag for Senior Brother." The male swordsman echoed.
As for the two outer disciples of the Qinglan Sword Sect behind, each of them carried a large bag, which was full of materials of fierce beasts. They were here to do hard labor and had no right to interrupt. They just listened quietly.
"In addition to the intermediate fierce beast Iron Arm Ape, there are also materials of several other intermediate fierce beasts, which is a good harvest." Li He said to himself: "However, the most important thing is the fragment of this sword energy body protection secret method. Although it only has the first and second levels, I think it should be considered a mid-level secret method. When the time comes, I will copy a copy myself and contribute it to the sword sect. I can get a lot of contribution points and prepare for breaking through the ninth level of the sword energy realm."
"Brother Li, there is someone in front." Suddenly, the Qinglan female swordsman said.
"Gray long gown... the dress of the outer disciples of the Qingfeng Sword Sect..." Li He had a cold look on his lips and strode towards the target.
"The outer disciple of the Qingfeng Sword Sect... is actually here alone, which is really interesting." The male swordsman sneered and hurriedly followed. The others also followed quickly with a hint of excitement.
…
After killing Wu Qiang, he was full of murderous intent towards Wang Feng. With murderous aura, he suddenly realized the realm of the Grandmaster, made another breakthrough in basic swordsmanship, and was promoted to the Grandmaster of Swordsmanship. He also took advantage of the situation and broke through to the sixth stage of sword energy cultivation.
Chu Mu found three Qi-recovering pills and two hemostatic pills and some dry food from Wu Qiang, and then went to the stream to fill water again.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps behind him. Looking back, he saw five people walking quickly, with strange expressions on their faces, looking at him more like hunters looking at prey.
"Blue gown... brown gown..." He was thoughtful, and after a little thought, he knew the other party's identity: "Sure enough, some troubles are inevitable."
Chu Mu's eyes first fell on the male swordsman in the lead, and then his gaze slid over and fell on the other two male and female swordsmen in blue gowns. As for the two coolies in brown gowns behind, he didn't pay too much attention.
"It should be one Sword Qi Realm 8th stage and two Sword Qi Realm 7th stage." Chu Mu, who had faced 8th stage and 7th stage before, made a judgment based on some subtle points and breath fluctuations.
"Call the others over." Li He stopped five meters in front of Chu Mu, with a proud look between his eyebrows, and said to Chu Mu in a commanding tone. It seemed that Chu Mu was his servant, and he thought that Chu Mu had companions.
"Call quickly, do you still need me to teach you how to do it?" The male swordsman frowned when he saw that Chu Mu was indifferent, took two steps forward, and shouted in a stern voice with an imposing manner.
"Then you call." Chu Mu chuckled and said, which made the other party's face change, anger rose, and he drew out a sword, the bright sword light flashed, pointed directly at Chu Mu, and the chill struck people.
"You are just an outer disciple of Qingfeng Sword Sect, and you dare to talk to me like this. You really don't know how to live or die. Don't you know that the outer disciples of your Qingfeng Sword Sect should be inferior to the outer disciples of our Qinglan Sword Sect! Even the head of Qingfeng Sword Sect should retreat in front of the head of our Qinglan Sword Sect." The male swordsman shouted: "Today, I will discipline you, an outer disciple who doesn't know etiquette, on behalf of the head of Qingfeng Sword Sect, so as not to lose the face of Qingfeng Sword Sect."
Although he didn't have much sense of belonging to Qingfeng Sword Sect, the other party's words still made Chu Mu feel disgusted from the bottom of his heart. A trace of murderous intent spread from the bottom of his heart. Chu Mu didn't suppress it at all and let this trace of murderous intent spread.
The master of swordsmanship's understanding that the sword is a murderous weapon and swordsmanship is a killing technique made Chu Mu's understanding of the sword and swordsmanship more profound. The murderous intent will not only not make him lose his mind, but also make him more powerful.
"As a mere outer sect disciple, you can still maintain such a calm state of mind when facing the inner sect disciples of our Qinglan Sword Sect. It seems that you are quite famous among the outer sect disciples of Qingfeng Sword Sect." The female swordsman suddenly laughed, with a smile full of interest on her face: "Could it be that you are Li Yang?"
"Li Yang..." Chu Mu thought for a moment and remembered that when he first entered Qingfeng Sword Sect, he seemed to have heard that the person who was known as the "number one outer sect disciple" was named Li Yang. He didn't expect that he was so famous that even the inner sect disciples of Qinglan Sword Sect knew him.
"You don't have to answer. From your eyes, I already know the answer. You are not Li Yang." The female swordsman said again, with an even stronger look of interest in her eyes: "I didn't expect that in addition to Li Yang, there is actually such an outstanding person like you among the outer disciples of Qingfeng Sword Sect. Although not as good as our Qinglan Sword Sect, it is still pretty good. Come on, leave Qingfeng Sword Sect and join Qinglan Sword Sect, you will get better training."
"The so-called genius of Qingfeng Sword Sect is only ordinary in our Qinglan Sword Sect." Li He said: "Cut his tendons and throw him back to Qingfeng Sword Sect, let the people of Qingfeng Sword Sect know the consequences of provoking our Qinglan Sword Sect."
"Yes, senior brother!" The male swordsman was very excited, showing a grim smile, staring at Chu Mu, as if looking at meat on a chopping board.
