Immortal Sword Fight.
On the third day, the Immortal Sword Fight came to a successful end, and the ten places to the prestigious academy were determined.
Among them, Lin Xia, who had a previous connection with Lu Qinghe at the Blue Moon Lake, was among the chosen few.
With the end of the Immortal Sword Fight, the Battle of the Millennia began almost immediately.
In recent years, due to the decline of the Immortal Sect, its influence has waned, to the point that when the ten places for the Immortal Sword Fight were decided, all ten individuals had to go to the capital of the Millennia Kingdom, the city of Millennia, in advance to observe the battle of the millennium and understand the strengths and weaknesses of themselves and other talented disciples from various forces in the Millennia Kingdom.
Therefore, after five days of rest, which is the tenth day since Lu Qinghe returned to the Immortal Sect, a group of people simultaneously appeared at the Feixian Residence of the Immortal Sect.
Here, they would directly ride flying beasts to go to the city of Millennia in the capital of the Millennia Kingdom.
"Lu Qinghe."
When Lu Qinghe arrived at the square in front of the Feixian Residence, four disciples were already waiting there, including Lin Xia from the Blue Moon Lake.
In the Blue Moon Lake, in this session of the Sword-Fighting Competition among the Ask-Immortal Disciples, only Lei Jian made it into the top ten, while Juan Yun sadly got eliminated. Of course, if we count Lu Qingyun as well, there are still two people who can be considered big winners.
"Senior Brother Lei Jian."
"Just call me Lei Jian, you can call me Qinghe."
Lei Jian said warmly.
Lu Qinghe, not only does he have his sister Lu Qingyun, who has the potential to compete for the first place in the inner gate, his own talent is also extraordinary. He doesn't mind befriending Lei Jian.
"Next, we will go to the Qiangu City. Despite being a sacred place for cultivation above any force in the Qiangu Kingdom other than the royal family, the Ask-Immortal Sect is ultimately just a sect. At the grassroots level, it cannot compare to the royal family and the top forces supported by the royal family. This trip is a good opportunity to understand the strength and weakness of their cultivation."
"Such as the Ten Princes?"
When Lu Qinghe mentioned the name of the Ten Princes, Lei Jian nodded solemnly, "Indeed, the Ten Princes are all top figures in the Qiangu Kingdom, especially the mysterious prince, the undefeated prince, and the first prince in the top three. Each of them is a genius among geniuses and an anomaly among anomalies."
"The top three? Does the Ten Princes have rankings?"
"This ranking is only for reference, or rather, it cannot be called a ranking. It can only be said to be a stage. The mysterious prince, the undefeated prince, and the first prince are in the first stage, while the prince of Wanhua, the prince of machinery, the prince of Qiankun, the prince of swords, and our Ask-Immortal Sect's prince of Dao are in the second stage."
"Stage."
Lu Qinghe could understand this term.
The prince of Qiankun, the prince of swords, the prince of machinery, the prince of Wanhua, and the prince of Dao, belong to one level, and there is no distinction between them in terms of strength. The mysterious prince, the first prince, and the undefeated prince belong to another stage, similar to how the lonely gods of the third peak, Gu Shenxu, Tai A, Bei Changtian, are far superior to people like Han Zhen, Xiaoxiangyu, Jian Chen, and Zuo Qiuming.
"The Ask-Immortal Sect, though on par with the royal family of the Qiangu Kingdom, is no match for the royal family and the top forces supported by the royal family. For example, the Prince of Swords and the Prince of Qiankun from the Qiangu Kingdom are considered royal figures, especially the fearsome first prince ..."
Lei Jian sighed slightly as he spoke.
By comparing the two, one can understand why the outside world's rumors about the Ask-Immortal Sect being overrated are not unfounded. If it were not for the presence of Saint Qinghuang, the Ask-Immortal Sect would have likely degraded to the level of the Tianlong Hall.
While Lu Qinghe was talking to Lei Jian, he suddenly felt a chill all over his body, as a gaze, like a sharp sword, suddenly locked onto his body.
With a turn of his gaze, Lu Qinghe and a man were directly confronting each other.
"This is Yun Cong, the man of Liu Ya! If Lu Qingyun wants to make it into the top ten, she has two opponents, one is Jiang Xinyue, and the other is Liu Ya! However, with Saint Qinghuang personally designating Lu Qingyun as one of the top ten, she might be able to get one spot, whereas Liu Ya has been directly eliminated."
As Lei Jian said this, he looked at Lu Qinghe and said, "In the end, Lu Qingyun's spot fell to you."
"Oh, so you're turning your attention to me now?"
Lu Qinghe couldn't help but chuckle, "Even if Saint Qinghuang didn't designate Qingyun as one of the top ten, could Liu Ya be a match for her?"
"Definitely not, but, resentment has to be vented somewhere, and they feel that you are easy to bully."
Lei Jian shrugged helplessly.
Lu Qinghe stared at Yun Cong, who kept his eyes on him.
Although he didn't care about this, it didn't mean that he could tolerate others' wanton provocation.
In the Dongtian Sect's Dongtian Jue, there was a special sword technique.
And at this moment...
It was time to put it into use.
The next moment, Lu Qinghe's eyes gleamed.
The brilliance in his eyes seemed to turn into two sharp swords that directly pierced the void and struck Yun Cong's pupils.
"Ah!"
Yun Cong, who was coldly staring at Lu Qinghe, let out a scream, covering his eyes immediately and stepping back, tears streaming down continuously.
The sudden change surprised everyone present, and their gazes involuntarily fell on Lu Qinghe.
"Qinghe, did you do this?"
Lei Jian was somewhat puzzled.
After all, Lu Qinghe and Yun Cong were twenty meters apart, and he didn't sense any sign of Lu Qinghe making a move.
Lu Qinghe smiled slightly and said nothing.
The technique of Pupil Sword was something he had not yet fully mastered. Otherwise, this strike wouldn't have just caused pain to Yun Cong's eyes, but directly blinded him.
"Lu Qinghe, what a skillful move, occupying a spot to the heritage academy for no reason, and also secretly injuring others. Do you really think that we are all blind?"
At this moment, a voice came from the side.
A young man strode over, his gaze fierce as he stared at Lu Qinghe.
"Who's this small fry again?"
Lu Qinghe was a bit speechless about this provocation.
"This is no small fry..."
Lei Jian also felt helpless, "Jianxin, a peerless genius of the Tiantan Alliance, and also the only one selected in the Tiantan Alliance. He is one of the most prominent figures in the first peak, and it's fair to say that he's renowned across the Inner Nine Peaks. Only you would treat someone of such strength as a small fry."
天剑盟……
Lan Qinghe understood.
The law enforcers and the Tianjian Alliance are very close. It is said that Jiang Xinyue and Long Que are also members of the Tianjian Alliance. The serious injury to Lan Qingyun hurt the face of the law enforcers, and severely injured Jiang Xinyue and Long Que, shaking the inner sect.
These people from the Tianjian Alliance dared not make a move against Lan Qingyun, so they turned their attention to Lan Qinghe.
Obviously...
It is easy to pick on a soft persimmon.
"It seems that everyone thinks I'm easy to bully."
Lan Qinghe glanced at Lei Jian.
But Lei Jian had a look of "Should it not be like this."
"I never thought there would be such a thing happening at the Ask Immortal Sect. Clearly, with poor cultivation, one can still gain entry to the prestigious school through the back door. Once this precedent is set, the rules and regulations of the Ask Immortal Sect could be called into question in the future."
Seeing Lan Qinghe remain silent, Jian Xin did not give up and continued to press him.
"Don't waste words, if you are dissatisfied with me, then act, otherwise, please shut up."
"Hmph! Do you really think that killing Huang Tianfeng makes you superior and invincible? With your meager cultivation, the Ask Immortal Sect can easily eliminate you, not less than a hundred people!"
Lan Qinghe was already too lazy to pay attention to him and drew his sword, Qinghong.
Seeing Lan Qinghe draw his sword, Jian Xin was not afraid but rather sneered, "You want to make a move? Come on then! I'll let you have ten strikes. If you can touch even a corner of my clothes within those ten strikes, I, Jian Xin, will admit defeat."
"Qinghe, don't be impulsive. He is trying to provoke you, if you really make a move and provoke the dissatisfaction of the elders, I'm afraid, you will miss the chance to enter the prestigious school."
Lei Jian quickly spoke.
"Don't worry."
Lan Qinghe drew his own sword, slightly raised it, seemingly evaluating his own sword.
"Lan Qinghe, is this all of your virtue, after losing Lan Qingyun, what else do you have?"
"Buzz!"
The moment Jian Xin spoke, Lan Qinghe flicked his finger on the sword.
For a moment, a strange vibrational frequency, along with Jian Xin's blood and energy, vibrated his internal organs, making him feel uncomfortable.
"Jian Xin?"
Lan Qinghe looked at this talented person with a slightly changed complexion, holding the sword in one hand, with a faint smile on his face. "I call you once, will you dare to respond?"
"I dare!"
"Bang!"
The moment Jian Xin spoke, that strange vibrational frequency, once again erupted from Lan Qinghe's sword, shocking Jian Xin's body.
The accumulation from the previous two times had already made Jian Xin's blood and energy boil to the extreme. Now, as soon as he opened his mouth, that boiling blood surged up, almost making him spit it out from his mouth.
Currently, seven of the top ten fighters in the Ask Immortal Sword Rankings had arrived. If he really sprayed blood at this time, he would lose a lot of face.
For a moment, Jian Xin forcefully suppressed this boiling blood and energy, causing his face to turn somewhat crimson.
This way, he directly forced internal injuries upon himself, and his face looked a bit red.
This time, not only Lei Jian, who was close, but even the others could see that Jian Xin had suffered under Lan Qinghe.
"You said, you dared, so why didn't you answer my call? Jian Xin?"
Lan Qinghe's gaze was again fixed on Jian Xin.
"You..."
Jian Xin was about to speak, but thinking of the strange methods Lan Qinghe had just used, he didn't dare to speak again, otherwise, this blood would definitely not be suppressed.
And at this time, he also understood that Lan Qinghe must have used the sword to vibrate and stimulate his blood. If he allowed it to continue, his injuries would worsen. He quickly retreated, directly to a corner of Feixian Residence, a hundred meters away from Lan Qinghe, before stopping.
The secret confrontation between the two, who is superior and who is inferior, has become obvious at a glance.
