C17 There Was a Mountain on the West Side

The moon and stars were thin, and the wind was cold.

On top of a towering mountain peak stood a massive city wall that stretched endlessly. The city wall was in ruins, and one could see that it was still built. Huge bluestone stacked on top of each other, and there was a hint of gloominess in it.

In the night, a weak candle flame lit up on this towering city wall.

The three of them sat facing each other. In front of them was a shabby chessboard, and beside them was warm wine.

Among the people who sat down, one of them looked very young. He wore clean white clothes, and his face was calm. He lowered his head and stared at the chessboard, deep in thought. The person opposite him... He looked like an old man in green clothes. He had a scholarly air about him. The old man had a smile on his face and held a cup of warm wine in his hand. He was sipping it gently.

On the side, a middle-aged man dressed in black appeared somewhat strange in the night.

The three of them were silent. The middle-aged man in black only lowered his head to look at the chessboard in front of him. As he drank the wine, his expression was calm.

After pondering for a long time, the young man in white finally relaxed his brows. He gently raised his hand and placed a black chess piece on the chessboard.

The old man in green couldn't help but frown. Then, he laughed heartily and said, "I admit defeat. After all these years, I still can't beat you in chess."

The young man didn't stand on ceremony. He only raised his head slightly. He narrowed his eyes and laughed mockingly. I'm afraid that it's not just chess that can't beat me, right? "

The old man laughed. He pointed at the feet of the young man in white and said, "Of course, there's also this sword."

The young man in white shrugged his shoulders. He could not deny it. He was quite proud.

"Su Pu, I thought you died two years ago." The young man in white picked up a cup of warm wine and turned to look at the man in black. He said angrily, "If you didn't die, it means your young master is still alive. What's wrong? Why did you come here instead of protecting your young master? Did you understand? "

The middle-aged man who was called Su Pu was the man in black who had shown his face in Clear Wind Mountain. However, after Su Chunsheng left Clear Wind Mountain, the man in black didn't follow him. Who would have thought that he would appear here?

The middle-aged man named Su Pu shook his head and said, "One day as a sword slave, one lifetime as a sword slave."

The man in white frowned and rolled his eyes. "Stupid. The Su family has long been destroyed. What's the use of you guarding a guy who has lost all his cultivation? Just let him run his own course. If he died earlier, he would have lived a long time ago."

The middle-aged man called Su Pu didn't seem angry at all. He just shook his head with a determined expression.

The man in white was obviously angry.

However, before he could say anything, the old man in green who had been sitting by the side hurriedly waved his hand and said, "All right, all right, all right. A person has his own way of living. Moreover, Su Chunsheng might be able to regain his cultivation and walk to the top of the sword path, revitalizing the Su family."

Hearing these words, the white-clothed man rolled his eyes. He turned to look at the old man in green and mocked, "Yo, Old man Xu, now you know what to say. If I remember correctly, That boy studied under your tutelage back then. Why didn't he see you when the Su family was in trouble? What's wrong? Does he think that he wants to cut ties with the Su family? That little incident in the Cloud Sky Academy. If it wasn't for the help of the Su family back then, they would have died a long time ago. But now, you old man used the title of Confucianism Sect Master to swindle and swindle people. You don't know how to repay your kindness? The Great Dao of Confucianism taught you how to be ungrateful?

The green-clothed old man immediately became furious.

However, he saw that the white-clothed man didn't seem to be afraid at all. He sneered and said, "What's the matter? You still want to fight me? " You, Old Man Xu, are running amok in Great Shuo Dynasty? That's right, but here, let's not talk about Confucianism Sect Master anymore. Even the Emperor himself has to crawl away!"

The old man called Old Man Xu could only sigh. He no longer competed with each other. Instead, he looked into the distance and murmured," The catastrophe that happened in the Heavenly Cloud Academy, after the burning of books fell off the cliff, if it wasn't for the Su family, they would have really died. There is no denying this. Two years ago, the Su family suffered a calamity. This old man was unable to do anything. It wasn't that I didn't want to, but that I couldn't."

"Why?" The white-clothed man raised his brows and asked.

"I was in the Imperial Sky Pavilion, and I couldn't even take half a step out. So what?" The old man in green smiled bitterly and looked helpless.

"So you're saying that those old bastards in the Imperial Sky Pavilion also interfered?" The man in white said with a gloomy expression.

"It's hard to say. Maybe it was just a coincidence that I accidentally entered that Great Fortune Formation, or maybe someone intentionally did it. " All these years, I've always been unable to figure it out. " The azure-clothed old man shook his head helplessly.

The white-clothed man fell silent and no longer spoke.

Ten years ago, the Cloud Sky Academy was faced with a catastrophe. The library was completely destroyed. Hundreds of Confucianism Sect disciples jumped off the cliff and died. In the end, it was the Su family who came out to protect the Cloud Sky Academy, which was in imminent danger. After that, the Su family and the disciples of the Gongsun family were sent to the Cloud Sky Academy to study. As a result, outsiders didn't dare to easily shake the Cloud Sky Academy.

Two years ago, the Nine Clouds Sword Sect was destroyed, but the Heavenly Cloud Academy remained strangely silent. In the eyes of outsiders, it was more or less like they were ungrateful.

"Young Master's acupuncture points have already been opened, and then there were rumors that medicinal Crimson Sky Swords appeared in the West River County. Young Master went down the mountain." He had been sitting silently by the side the entire time. The black-clothed Su Pu, who had been sitting silently by the side all this time, said in a deep voice.

As soon as these words were spoken, As soon as these words were spoken, the white-clothed man beside him couldn't help but furrow his brows. The azure-clothed old man also had a stunned expression.

"So you're saying that after your young master's acupuncture points opened, there was a rumor about medicinal Crimson Sky Swords?" The azure-clothed old man frowned.

Su Pu nodded slightly.

"So it really is Imperial Sky Pavilion." The old man's expression was extremely ugly as he muttered to himself.

The young man in white suddenly stood up and picked up the long sword at his feet. He walked to the edge of the huge city wall that reached into the clouds and said angrily, "A blockhead who only knows how to hold a sword and abide by the rules. An old scholar who read books and got lucky came to me with great effort and put on a good show!"

"Don't bother. I won't do anything. The life or death of boy has nothing to do with me."

"Let's talk now. You guys go!"

The old man looked at the man in white who had his back to him and sighed.

Su Pu, who was dressed in black, stood up after drinking a cup of wine. He left the city wall, which was extremely rare, and headed north. The old man could only shake his head and slowly descend the mountain.

After the two of them left successively, the white-clothed man, who had his back to the chessboard, softly muttered, as if he was talking to the night breeze.

"Sister, your Chunsheng really doesn't know what's good for him. If the Crimson Sky Sword is gone, then so be it. At worst, he can just change to another sword that he likes. " But if he loses his life, he will really lose it. "

"Hey, this nephew of mine really follows me. He has the same temper and is too stubborn. It's just that his comprehension ability is too poor. When I was his age, I was already a Profound Finger Stage a long time ago. "

"Sister, actually, I never understood why you chose to die with the Su family."

"If the people of the Su family wanted to leave, no one would be able to stop them. But why do they want to die?"

"Two years ago, I didn't even see you one last time in the Ghost Domain. Now, I want to see whose sword in this world can be faster than mine."

After muttering for a long time, the white-clothed man suddenly had tears streaming down his face, and he began to sob.

"Big Sister, how are you doing over there?"

In that instant, a booming sound rang out.

Beneath the city wall, streams of energy surrounded and dazzled, lighting up the entire city wall as if it was daytime.

And beneath the towering and winding city wall, the entire majestic mountain peak was actually densely packed with tens of thousands of long swords. At this moment, as the energy flowed, the sounds did not stop.

Everyone knew that there was a mountain at the west side of the Opulent Earth Divine Region. It was called the Sword Mountain, and tens of thousands of peerless swords were inserted into the mountain peak. It was a majestic sight.

However, no one knew that there was a high wall on the mountain. It had stood there for thousands of years, and it had also blocked the path of the Ghost Clan for thousands of years.

Above the high wall were the immortals of the land!
