It was already past noon, and the sun was no longer shining on the Oath Palace. Instead, it shone from behind Xu Qing.
As a result, Xu Qing, who slowly walked out from the group of sword wielders, was particularly conspicuous under the sunlight.
The captain looked at Xu Qing's back, his heart filled with emotion and pride. This is my junior apprentice-brother.
Qingqiu was in the crowd. She was expressionless under the mask. She glanced at Xu Qing and felt a little disgusted. She then turned to look in the direction of the Southern Phoenix Continent.
She didn't like such sunny days. She liked it when the wind and snow fell.
This was because every time she looked into the distance on a snowy day, she could vaguely see a thin and small figure walking towards her cautiously while sticking close to the wall and nodding at her.
Brother Kid … Qingqiu muttered in her heart.
I will go to the Southern Phoenix Continent to find you as soon as possible. I feel that the so-called geniuses here are not as good as you. If you stand in their position, you will be stronger than any of them!
When Qingqiu looked at Xu Qing, Kong Xianglong and the others were also looking at him. The others were still unconvinced, but Kong Xianglong didn't.
He was smiling, and his smile was filled with blessings.
He was not only like this for Xu Qing, but also for his other friends.
Under everyone's gaze, Xu Qing calmly walked forward. After nine steps, he cupped his fists and bowed respectfully to the five people in the hall.
Greetings, Lord.
At this moment, the vice palace master and the four deacons in front of the Oath Palace all looked at Xu Qing.
Before Xu Qing came, his name was already known by the five of them. That day, the ringing of the Dao Bell had alarmed the entire Sword Holding Palace. Even the County Governor had asked about it.
Now that they saw Xu Qing with their own eyes, looking at his figure in the sunlight and the red flames on his white robe, the four deacons secretly nodded.
The vice palace master's eyes were filled with admiration, and his expression became gentler.
Xu Qing, your heart is shining brightly. The Emperor has appointed you to open the first branch of the Sea Sealing County. The Palace Master has issued a decree to recruit Xu Qing as the Palace Master's attendant!
From now on, you will follow the Palace Master. I hope you will hone yourself and live up to the Emperor's praise and the ringing of the Dao Bell!
Honorable decree!
Xu Qing's expression was solemn as he cupped his fists and bowed again.
He wasn't too surprised by this arrangement, but he still felt a little regretful.
He didn't want to be a scribe, he wanted to go to a department like the Detective Department.
As soon as the Vice Palace Master said this, many of the newly promoted swordsmen were shocked. They looked at Xu Qing with intense envy.
The Assistant Scribe was equivalent to a clerical position beside the Palace Lord. Although this position did not have much power, he represented the Palace Lord. After taking office, anyone who saw him would have to be polite.
This was especially so since the Sword Holding Palace Master had never had an accompanying order before. Xu Qing was the first.
In the eyes of the crowd, this in itself represented how important Xu Qing was to the Sword Wielding Palace Master. Through this action, he was telling the world how important it was to be personally appointed by the Great Emperor.
It could be imagined that after this matter spread, all the new sword wielder who joined the Sword Holding Palace in the future would pay more attention to Wen Xin.
Although this position was in line with the glory that Xu Qing had received, there were still some sword-bearers who were unconvinced.
Like Zhang Siyun.
He stared at Xu Qing, and the loathing in his heart was incomparably strong. This was especially true for the left side of his face. Although it had already returned to normal, he still felt a stabbing pain. That was where his mother had slapped him.
I'm not trash!
Zhang Siyun gritted his teeth and roared in his heart.
The Vice Palace Master and the others standing in front of the Oath Hall did not care about the crowd's reaction. Even if Zhang Siyun's Old Ancestor was among them, he did not look at Zhang Siyun from beginning to end.
Xu Qing, although you have been appointed by the Palace Master and do not need to be tested, you still have to go for the next seven days of secret training.
Xu Qing's expression was solemn. He then retreated back to the formation of sword-bearers. His actions were capable and experienced, causing the five people in front of the Oath Hall to nod in their hearts again.
All of you listen well.
The Vice Palace Master retracted his gaze from Xu Qing and glanced at all the sword-bearers below.
。
The command swords that you have obtained in your respective Sword Wielding Palace are the sword-bearers' communication devices and also the tools to check your battle achievements. At the same time, they are the foundation of the Sword Pavilion.
Later, you can use them to build your own Sword Pavilion below the county capital. This Sword Pavilion will accompany you for life, even if you are sent out to take up a post.
The higher the height, the greater the glory. I hope that one day, there will be someone among you who can reach the top of the Sword Pavilion.
Only after you have sacrificed yourself will the Sword Wielding Palace dissipate, but your name will be written in the Oath Hall of the Sword Wielding Palace. Every time the sword-bearers take an oath, they will have to pay their respects and never forget it.
The Vice Palace Master slowly spoke. After he finished speaking, he waved his sleeve and the light in the hall scattered. All the doors were completely opened, allowing everything inside to be clearly reflected in the eyes of all the sword-bearers.
There was clearly another space inside the hall, and the actual size was larger than the hall itself.
There were countless command swords placed inside.
Some were complete, some were incomplete, and some were only fragments. There were even some that seemed to have their sword spirits destroyed when they died, so they were placed in the spirit tablets.
A sense of heroism rushed over, and a feeling of shock arose spontaneously.
There were too many spirit tablets and command swords. From top to bottom, from left to right, they were all here.
These were all the sword-bearers that had died in battle over the countless years in the Sealed Sea County!
Every one of them was once a genius of the human race.
Every one of them had their own soul-stirring story.
Looking at the command swords and spirit tablets, Xu Qing's mind trembled. He felt a soul impact spread out from the hall and enter his mind.
He vaguely heard the roars of countless sword-bearers before they died and saw countless white-robed figures.
Behind them was the human race, so they would rather die in battle than take half a step back.
The shock became even stronger.
They smiled as they faced death. They roared as they killed their enemies. They shouted their oaths before they died with no regrets.
"I am willing to become a sword-bearer. I am loyal to my duty and am not afraid of sacrifice.
"I am willing to become a sword-bearer. I will never betray the human race and will always be ready to fight.
"I am willing to become a sword-bearer. I will fight for the human race and protect the human race.
"I am willing to become a sword-bearer. I will cut down the fate of the dawn and shine the light of the world.
These words came out from the mouths of the figures. As more and more of them came out, they gradually gathered together. It was like the sound of heaven and earth. At the same time, they instinctively came out from the mouths of the sword-bearers.
Gradually, everyone's voices merged with the words of the figures, as if they had become one.
The lofty aspiration that came from the unfinished heroic deeds seemed to have been passed down through time and space at this moment.
This was the oath of all the new sword-bearers.
Xu Qing didn't know how he left the Sword Holding Palace. Even as he walked through the world, his mind was still replaying the scene of the Oath Hall.
All of this was completely different from when he was in the sect.
Not only was Xu Qing like this, but the captain was also like this. All the sword-bearers were like this at this moment. Even people like Zhang Siyun were in a trance.
It wasn't until he returned to the courtyard of the branch sect and returned to his residence that Xu Qing's mind recovered.
He looked up at the night sky outside and looked in the direction of the Sword Holding Palace. He couldn't help but take a deep breath. He knew why he was like this. It was because the Oath Hall contained a shocking soul fluctuation.
There were too many heroic souls there. They didn't have the slightest bit of malice toward the new sword-bearers. They only talked about their regrets and their unfinished ambitions.
They used this method to tell the new sword-bearers …
What was a true sword-bearer!
Xu Qing's heart was in turmoil. In fact, along the way, he had already felt from Chen Tinghao that the sword-bearers were very different from the cultivators of the sects he had encountered.
Xu Qing was silent.
He would not immediately have a sense of belonging to any force, whether it was the sect or the Sword Holding Palace.
What he felt, it was impossible for him to let his guard down.
He wanted to observe for a while longer.
After a long time, Xu Qing took a deep breath, collected his mind, and took out his sword bearer token.
After today's report and oath, the token had become a little different.
Many of its functions had been opened. At this moment, under Xu Qing's inspection, and as his divine sense fused into it, a list of military merit exchange information appeared in his mind.
Military merit was extremely important to the sword-bearers, because any item they needed could be exchanged with military merit. In this information, Xu Qing even saw a life lantern and the inheritance of an Emperor level cultivation technique.
It was just that the military merit required was enormous, and some even required battle merit.
Military merit and battle merit were not the same.
The former could be accumulated by completing missions issued by the Sword Holding Palace, while the latter … was divided into five ranks.
Rank one battle merit was the rarest, and so on.
Xu Qing scanned it with his divine sense and finally looked at the inheritance exchange information. He found Dawn Mountain.
Three million military merit and rank three battle merit could be exchanged for a chance to comprehend Dawn Mountain.
Looking at this, Xu Qing's eyes were filled with determination.
He had to think of a way to obtain military merit!
The same scene was happening with the captain. At this moment, the captain was rubbing his forehead while looking at the exchange information in the token. His eyes gradually lit up.
So many good things!
His breathing became a bit rapid, and he quickly locked onto the exchange for an Emperor level cultivation technique. He ignored the others and only stared at one. His eyes were filled with unprecedented desire.
The Ancient Dao Righteous Decree, incomplete!
I have been looking for this cultivation technique for a long time, and it is indeed in the Sealed Sea City!
The captain's eyes were filled with determination, and another face appeared in his pupils. This face also opened its eyes and revealed madness.
After a long time, he barely suppressed the desire in his heart. He took a deep breath and looked in the direction of Xu Qing's residence.
Little Ah Qing, Eldest Senior Brother said that he would walk with you in this life, so I'll do my best to accomplish it.
As long as I obtain this righteous decree, I can really … walk with you in this life.
The captain softly muttered.
After the oath of the new swordsman ended, on the morning of the third day, the seven day secret training for the new swordsman began.
The location of this secret training was also inside the Sword Holding Palace. It was located in the Knowledge Hall.
Early in the morning, the secret training began.
When it was time for training, none of the fifty-one new swordsmen were late. All of them were seated in the Hall of Knowledge.
The Knowledge Hall was different from the other halls. There were many tables inside, and it was arranged like a school.
Xu Qing sat on the right side of the hall, behind the captain.
To his left was Qing Qiu and to his right was Kong Xianglong.
Qing Qiu ignored Xu Qing as usual, while Kong Xianglong smiled at Xu Qing and spoke in a friendly manner.
"I learned about secret training when I was a servant. It has been very useful in completing missions over the years. Xu Qing, if there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me."
Xu Qing cupped his fists and thanked him. The captain in front turned around and glanced at Xu Qing.
"Little Junior Brother, you can ask me."
Kong Xianglong smiled and didn't say anything.
Xu Qing glanced at the captain and nodded.
The captain was satisfied and was about to continue speaking, but in the next moment, he quickly turned around and sat down. The other swordsman also did the same because a person walked in from outside the hall.
This person was middle-aged and wore a black Daoist robe. His body was very thin, and his face was sallow. He gave off a sickly feeling. His cultivation was at the Nascent Soul realm, and he coughed as he walked in.
He passed through the tables in the hall and walked to the front. He sat on a chair and looked up at everyone in the hall.
"When I'm speaking, I don't like to be interrupted. So if there's anyone among you who doesn't understand … then you're not smart enough.
"If anyone interrupts me, then I'll ask you to come out.
"Go.
"Oh right, you can call me Sickly Ghost. I'll be in charge of teaching you the secret technique of hiding things.
Sickly Ghost coughed again. This time, it was very violent, and he directly spat out a mouthful of blood.
As the blood flowed out, the poison that was hidden in the blood also spread out silently at this moment.
Xu Qing's eyes focused.
