The ancestor slowly raised his head and regained his composure. With a thought, the token returned to Fang Chen's hand.
"This token is the personal token of my sworn brother," said the ancestor.
Fang Chen was shocked. So the head in the cauldron really was an expert from the Burial Sword Prefecture.
But why would he appear in the Ancient Sword Continent?
Both Elder Xuan and Fang Chen were puzzled.
However, the ancestor clearly didn't want to talk about anything else. He waved his hand and said, "You can leave."
Elder Xuan nodded and left with Fang Chen.
"Cultivate the Ancient Golden Invincible Sword as soon as possible and head to the Burial Sword City. Your doubts will be answered then," said the ancestor.
Returning to the ground of the Sword Arena, Fang Chen's heart couldn't calm down for a long time.
"Gu Jian, I'll deal with today's matter. Go back and rest," said Elder Xuan.
Gu Jian's killing of Yong An and the destruction of a fifth-stage True Martial Realm expert's blood puppet had shocked Goldensword City.
Some martial artists even believed that Gu Jian's strength was on par with the top experts of the younger generation, Luo Bairen and Wu Li.
In short, everyone in Goldensword City was talking about Gu Jian.
The atmosphere in the Lord of Blood Refining's residence was extremely solemn.
The Lord of Blood Refining was furious that he had lost his disciple, a fifth-stage True Martial Realm expert, and a million purple crystals.
However, the ancestor of the Sword Arena had appeared, so he didn't dare to say anything.
"Gu Jian, I'll kill you," said the Lord of Blood Refining furiously.
No matter how chaotic the outside world was, Fang Chen was quietly resting in the courtyard.
The Little Mouse came out of the special space with a whoosh.
"Boss," said the Little Mouse with a grave expression.
"What's wrong?" asked Fang Chen.
"Boss, I feel that my cultivation has been rising too quickly ever since I came to the Burial Sword Prefecture," said the Little Mouse.
"Your cultivation is rising too quickly?" Fang Chen was puzzled.
"Even I find the speed of his cultivation inconceivable."
The Little Mouse said, "I vaguely feel like I belong here. Everything here feels very familiar."
"This …"
Hearing this, Fang Chen was shocked.
Was the Little Mouse really from the Sword Burial State?
At this moment, Fang Chen recalled what the ancestor of the Sword Arena had said.
The owner of the 'Sword' token was his sworn brother.
The owner of the sword token was the head inside the three-legged, two-eared cauldron.
It was also because of the Little Mouse that he discovered the Three-legged Cauldron.
"Could it be that the Little Mouse is related to the head in the cauldron?"
Thinking of this, Fang Chen's heart was filled with shock.
With such a detailed analysis, he increasingly felt that the Little Mouse was related to the head in the cauldron.
"Don't worry, I will definitely find the mystery of your birth." Fang Chen patted the Little Mouse's head and said softly.
Everything was definitely not a coincidence.
The Little Mouse had discovered the Three-legged, two-eared cauldron outside the Five Elements Academy, and the head in the cauldron happened to be the head of the Sword Burial State.
Previously, Fang Chen had learned from Elder Xuan that the founder of the Five Elements Academy was from the Sword Burial State.
After connecting all these pieces of information together, Fang Chen was shocked to find out.
The source of everything was in the Sword Burial State.
The answer to everything was in the Sword Burial State.
"When I master the Ancient Golden Invincible Sword, I will be able to go to the Sword Burial City. The truth will be revealed then," Fang Chen thought to himself.
In the few days after killing Yong An, many Mystic Kings came to visit Fang Chen.
However, they were all rejected by Fang Chen.
These Mystic Kings all wanted to befriend Fang Chen.
After the battle with Yong An, they clearly understood Gu Jian's potential.
Moreover, Gu Jian was the first cultivator in the past hundred years to trigger nine rings of the Ancient Golden Bell.
For a time, an endless stream of Mystic Kings came to the Sword Arena.
The Sword Arena instantly became lively.
As for the main character, Fang Chen, he was quietly cultivating.
After the battle with Yong An, Fang Chen learned a lot and knew many of his shortcomings.
The reason why he was able to kill Yong An was because of many tricks.
After the battle, Fang Chen had summed up a few points.
First, the grade of his True Meaning of the Void was too low, and he couldn't unleash its true power. Without the support of the Sword Token, he wouldn't be able to penetrate the Spatial Imprisonment Array.
Second, he was able to destroy the Blood Puppet with one strike because he had been refined into a Blood Puppet by the Blood Refining Monarch.
He knew the internal structure of the Blood Puppet better than anyone else, so he was able to pierce the core of the Blood Puppet with one strike.
These two points were indispensable.
However, Fang Chen had both to kill Yong An.
Even now, the Blood Refining Monarch still couldn't figure out how Gu Jian could penetrate the Spatial Imprisonment Array and kill the Blood Puppet with one strike.
It was a mystery that no one could solve except for Gu Jian.
Given the Blood Refining Monarch's character, he would have taken action if Gu Jian killed his disciple even if Elder Xuan stopped him.
However, the Blood Refining Monarch didn't dare to act rashly after alerting the Patriarch of the Sword Arena.
A few days later, the news of the battle between Gu Jian and Yong An still hadn't dissipated.
On a certain day, a group of people arrived at the Golden Sword City.
In the meeting hall of the Blood Refining Monarch's residence.
"Blood Refining Monarch, the Asura Sword City has come to the Golden Sword City for two reasons. First, to exchange pointers with the younger generation, and second, to discuss some matters with you." A middle-aged man said softly.
"Lord Xiu Yun, I can agree to the Asura Sword Sect's request, but I also have a request." The Blood Refining Monarch pondered for a moment and said.
The Asura Sword City was adjacent to the Golden Sword City.
The Asura Sword Sect was the absolute overlord of the Asura Sword City, and the Asura Bell was controlled by the Asura Sword Sect.
The Asura Sword Sect's members cultivated the Asura Sword City's sword art, the Asura Sword Art, which was extremely tyrannical.
Xiu Yun was the Asura Sword Sect's deacon elder, and he was here to represent the Asura Sword Sect.
"Oh, what's your request?" Xiu Yun asked softly.
"Lord Xiu Yun, my disciple died at the hands of a thief not long ago. Unfortunately, that thief was protected by the Sword Arena's Elder Xuan, so I couldn't take revenge." Xuelian said gloomily.
"What's the cultivation of the person who killed Yong An?" Xiu Yun asked.
"Peak Stage 4 True Martial Realm, but his fighting strength is comparable to a Stage 6 True Martial Realm expert."
"Oh, when did the Golden Sword City have such a genius?" Xiu Yun was surprised.
"Lord Xiu Yun, this person is not only strong, but also talented. Not long ago, the Golden Ancient Bell rang nine times." The Blood Refining Monarch said.
Hearing this, Xiu Yun fell into silence.
It could be seen that the nine chimes of the bell had shaken him greatly.
After a long time, Xiu Yun said, "Nine rings, this person's talent must be monstrous."
At this moment, Xiu Yun already had an idea.
"Lord Xiu Yun." The Blood Refining Monarch asked.
"Leave this matter to me. This competition of the younger generation will be the day this person dies." Xiu Yun said.
The Asura Sword City and Golden Sword City had always been competitors.
If he could use this opportunity to get rid of the Golden Sword City's monstrous genius and recruit the Blood Refining Monarch, why not?
"Alright, since Lord Xiu Yun is so straightforward, I won't refuse. As long as this person dies, I'll join the Asura Sword Sect." The Blood Refining Monarch said straightforwardly.
In the past, the Asura Sword Sect had tried to recruit the Blood Refining Monarch many times.
The latter also wanted to join the Asura Sword Sect, but he didn't agree.
This time, because of Gu Jian, the Blood Refining Monarch accepted the Asura Sword Sect's request without hesitation.
Xiu Yun laughed when he heard that. He had to thank Gu Jian. If it weren't for him, the Blood Refining Monarch wouldn't have joined the Asura Sword Sect so easily.
The Blood Refining Monarch was famous for refining Blood Puppets. Although he wasn't the strongest in the Profound King Realm, many forces wanted to recruit him.
The Blood Refining Monarch's Blood Puppets were very famous.
If the Asura Sword Sect wanted to expand, they needed the Blood Refining Monarch.
"Tomorrow, I'll bring people to the Sword Arena," said Xiu Yun.
The Blood Refining Monarch was wild with joy.
The Sword Arena also knew about the Asura Sword Sect's arrival.
Elder Xuan summoned a few other Mysterious Kings to discuss this matter.
"How should we deal with the Asura Sword Sect's visit?" asked Elder Xuan.
"What are you afraid of? Our Golden Sword City's younger generation has Luo Bairen, Wu Li, and Gu Jian. Why should we be afraid of the Asura Sword Sect?" laughed the Glacier Monarch.
The other Mystic Kings nodded as well.
"The Asura Sword Sect's arrival is fierce. They definitely have a trump card. Don't be careless," warned Elder Xuan.
"Don't worry. Our Ancient Golden Invincible Sword isn't any weaker than their Asura Sword Art."
It didn't take long for everyone to reach a unanimous decision. Then, they split up and gathered the younger generation.
When Luo Bairen and the others found out about this, they couldn't wait to join the battle.
"It's been a long time since I've fought with my full strength. Let the Asura Sword Sect's people be my stepping stones," said Luo Bairen.
