Inside the relic.
A strong wind blew on Fang Chen's face, causing him great pain.
At this moment, Fang Chen was in a wasteland.
Beside him were all Sky Sword Mansion's martial artists.
"Fang Chen, what should we do now?" asked Hu Ming.
Before entering, the Sky Sword Mansion Master had said that Fang Chen was the overall commander and that everyone had to listen to Fang Chen.
That was why Hu Ming asked.
"Let's figure out the situation of the relic first before we act," said Fang Chen.
Everyone nodded.
Fang Chen led everyone towards the end of the wasteland while secretly sending Little Mouse to scout the situation inside the relic.
Half a month later, Little Mouse returned.
Little Mouse was sent to scout because Little Mouse was extremely fast. Normal dangers would not be able to do anything to Little Mouse.
After the little mouse came back, it quietly went into the special spatial ring.
"Boss." Little Mouse communicated with Fang Chen mentally.
"How is it? Did you scout it out?" asked Fang Chen.
"Boss, the space inside the relic is not big. If I travel at full speed, I can go around it in about ten days," said Little Mouse.
Fang Chen nodded slowly. He had a preliminary understanding of the size of the relic.
Little Mouse continued, "Boss, there are a total of five special places in the relic. I think the inheritance of the Sky Demon Sword Emperor should be in these five places."
"Five places."
A smile appeared on Fang Chen's face when he heard that.
If he wanted to be one step ahead, he had to have enough information.
Obviously, Little Mouse's information was enough to let Fang Chen and the others take the lead.
After spending half a month, Fang Chen felt that it was worth it.
Everyone discussed as they walked.
At this moment, Fang Chen spoke.
"Southeast. Let's move forward," ordered Fang Chen.
All of a sudden, the group of people headed towards the southeast.
The special place that Little Mouse mentioned was about five thousand miles away from Fang Chen and the others.
The ruins were very quiet, and they didn't encounter any demonic beasts along the way.
Fang Chen and the others easily arrived at this special place.
"This is the place."
Fang Chen asked Little Mouse.
"Boss, there's a terrifying sword formation in this canyon," the Little Mouse said.
Fang Chen nodded and led the group into the canyon.
Sure enough, he saw the terrifying sword formation that Little Mouse had mentioned.
In the middle of the canyon, there was a huge sword array. Within the array, there was a terrifying sword Qi.
"What a powerful Sword Qi." Fang Chen could not help but sigh.
Even a Heaven Dipper Realm powerhouse could not arrange such a formation.
"Could it be that the Celestial Devil Sword Emperor personally arranged this?" Fang Chen muttered to himself.
Suddenly, Hu Ming said, "Fang Chen, there seems to be a huge sword in the array."
Fang Chen was stunned and immediately looked over.
He saw that there were nine huge swords in the terrifying sword array.
These huge swords were suspended in the sword array in the form of a ladder.
The huge sword at the top was surrounded by black Sword Qi. It was extremely terrifying.
Whoosh!
Just as everyone was exclaiming, a stone tablet broke out of the ground outside the sword array.
It instantly attracted everyone's attention.
There were some small words on the stone tablet.
"This sword array was created by me. It's specially used to select sword geniuses. Whoever can step on the ninth huge sword will receive a token."
After reading the words on the stone tablet, everyone was overjoyed.
The Celestial Devil Sword Emperor personally arranged this sword array to select sword geniuses.
"Hahaha, the Celestial Devil Sword Emperor's test." Everyone in the crowd laughed.
However, just as everyone was ecstatic, a group of people suddenly walked into the canyon.
"They're from the Raven Wind Mansion," said Hu Ming.
Hei Kong was the leader of the Raven Wind Mansion.
"Isn't this the Heavenly Sword Mansion?"
Hei Kong sneered as he led them into the canyon. He looked at Fang Chen's group and sneered.
The Raven Wind Mansion's people had discovered the stone tablet.
Then their eyes began to burn.
Hei Kong's eyes kept changing. In the end, he fixed his gaze on Fang Chen.
"You're the leader of the Heavenly Sword Mansion?" asked Hei Kong.
"That's right," said Fang Chen.
"I'll give you one minute. Take your people and scram out of the canyon," said Hei Kong coldly. "Starting in a few days, this canyon will be my Raven Wind Mansion's territory."
Hei Kong's words were filled with threat. He didn't give the Heavenly Sword Mansion any face.
Hearing this, the Heavenly Sword Mansion's disciples were all infuriated and wanted to attack.
However, they were stopped by Fang Chen.
"The Raven Wind Mansion's people are so overbearing," said Fang Chen calmly.
"If you know what's good for you, scram. Otherwise, you'll die," said Hei Kong coldly.
Hei Kong's expression was incomparably gloomy. His aura revolved around him as he prepared to attack.
However, when he saw the eight scarlet maple leaves in Fang Chen's hand, his voice came to a sudden stop.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" asked Fang Chen.
"You!"
Eight scarlet maple leaves. With Hei Kong's strength, how could he possibly possess them?
Fang Chen's scarlet maple leaves had successfully intimidated Hei Kong and the others.
After a long time, Hei Kong licked his dry lips and withdrew his killing intent. He revealed a trace of a smile and said, "Brother, the things within the ruins don't belong to anyone. Since we've both arrived here, it can be considered as fate. Why don't we explore together?"
Hearing this, Fang Chen put away the scarlet maple leaf, turned his head, and stopped talking.
As for expelling the Raven Wind Mansion's disciples, Fang Chen hadn't even thought about it.
That was because the Heavenly Sword Mansion's overall strength was inferior to the Raven Wind Mansion's.
Once an all-out battle broke out, the Heavenly Sword Mansion would definitely lose.
"Let's go in and try," said Hu Ming.
The Heavenly Sword Mansion's disciples all entered the sword formation.
However, when they stepped onto the first sword, they were instantly sent flying.
Their bodies were covered in blood as they let out miserable cries.
"What's going on?" Fang Chen was puzzled.
To the side, Hei Kong sneered.
"They can't even get close to the first sword. Trash like them actually wants to get a share of the Celestial Devil Sword Emperor's inheritance," said Hei Kong.
This sudden change made the Heavenly Sword Mansion's disciples not dare to rashly try.
At this time, the Raven Wind Mansion's disciples entered the sword formation and began their attempts.
Bang! Bang!
Just like the Heavenly Sword Mansion's disciples, the Raven Wind Mansion's disciples were also sent flying.
However, there was still a small portion of them that remained within the sword formation.
The Raven Wind Mansion's disciples were delighted.
Crash!
The remaining dozen or so martial artists stepped onto the first giant sword.
Immediately, a blinding light shot out from the first sword and enveloped them.
"Could it be that only geniuses of the Sword Dao can step onto a sword?"
Fang Chen pondered to himself as he looked at them.
Everyone else had been sent flying. Only these ten or so disciples were standing on the first sword.
And through Fang Chen's careful observation, they were all sword cultivators.
"Cultivators of the Way of the Sword can try," Fang Chen ordered.
Immediately, some of the Heavenly Sword Mansion's sword cultivators entered the sword formation and began attempting to climb the sword.
In the blink of an eye, an hour passed.
The Heavenly Sword Mansion's sword cultivators stepped onto the fifth sword and then stopped.
"What a powerful pressure."
The pressure was too great. The Heavenly Sword Mansion's sword cultivators were no longer able to advance.
As for the Raven Wind Mansion's sword cultivators, they had also stepped onto the fifth sword.
"The Heavenly Sword Mansion's disciples are only so-so," sneered Hei Kong.
At this time, a black-clothed Raven Wind Mansion's disciple stood out from the crowd and stepped onto the sixth sword.
"Good job, Hei Kong." Hei Kong was very happy to see Hei Kong step onto the sixth sword.
Hei Kong wanted to try climbing the sword as well, but he wasn't a sword cultivator.
Therefore, he could only place his hopes on Hei Kong.
Hei Kong was the strongest sword cultivator in the Raven Wind Mansion's ruins. His cultivation was also at the peak of the Ninth Level Mystic King Realm.
Hei Kong was the sword cultivator with the highest chance of stepping onto the ninth sword.
At this time, a fierce battle broke out on the fifth sword.
"Scram, trash from the Sky Sword Mansion," the Raven Wind Mansion's disciple said disdainfully.
"Raven Wind Mansion, you've gone too far."
Immediately, the martial artists of the two mansions began fighting on the fifth giant sword.
Puchi!
The Raven Wind Mansion had many disciples. After a fierce battle, they killed several Sky Sword Mansion's disciples.
"Retreat."
The other Sky Sword Mansion's disciples fled in panic and retreated from the sword formation.
"Raven Wind Mansion, you've gone too far."
Hü Ming's expression changed drastically. He wanted to attack.
