Guhan did not expect Ling to be from Yan Jing Base City!
As the only two super base cities in Huaxia, Yuzhang City and Yan Jing City rarely interacted with each other. Only the sword bearers would travel between the two cities. As for the rest of the common people, 99% of them would stay in the base city where they were born until they died of old age.
Yuzhang City and Yan Jing City were separated by more than 1,400 kilometers.
There were hundreds of Yuan Kou's strongholds and dozens of Yuan Kou's forces within this 1,400 kilometer distance.
Because the sky was occupied by the powerful dragons and phoenixes, the safest way to travel from one base city to the other was by land.
On this road, there were hundreds of brutal battles every day, and three sword bearers had died on this road.
That was why, unless there was no other choice, no mortal would have the will to step on this path of death. Only foolish swordbearers who fought for the future of humanity, like their Sword Ladies, would be willing to sacrifice their blood and lives for this path.
Therefore, it was very strange that a common person like Ling would appear in Yuzhang City. No sword bearer would be willing to bring a common person who was a hindrance through this road, unless the common person had an extraordinary background!
Thinking of Ling's ancient martial arts skills like telepathy, Guhan was almost certain that Ling's family was definitely extraordinary!
"How did you know that the Yi Xian Sword is in Yuzhang City?"
Guhan asked curiously. "Didn't the council say that the Yi Xian Sword has been sealed forever and is not allowed to come out?
Their location is the council's S-level secret. How did you know they are here? "
"Because …" Ling stopped abruptly in the middle of her sentence. "Damn it. My family doesn't allow Ling to tell anyone. There's nothing to hide!
Anyway, the Yi Xian Sword is here, and she must be Ling's! "
"You!
You've been talking nonsense with Ling for a long time. Let me ask you, where is the Yi Xian Sword? "
All of a sudden, Linling abruptly pointed her finger at the nose of the guide behind her. She scolded him, no, she scolded him with a question.
"Miss Ling, I really don't know!"
The guide stumbled back in fear. "Our leader never told us that the Yi Xian Sword was here!"
"Do you know?"
Ling pointed her fingertips at Guhan's guide again. The woman, who was disdainful just now, shook her head in panic.
"They don't know where the Yi Xian Sword is, so don't make things difficult for them, Miss Ling!
Let me lead you to the Yi Xian Sword! "
A wizened old man suddenly appeared between Guhan and Ling. The old man was like a cotton ball that had shrunk into water. His waist was bent into an 'n' shape, and his entire body was curled up.
After saying this, the old man walked in a certain direction without caring about anything else. Linling followed behind the old man with a smile on her face.
Gu Han did not hesitate to keep up with Linling's pace!
"Hey!
Sour Popsicle, what are you trying to do? "
Song Hama hurriedly pulled on the corner of Gu Han's clothes. "Are you crazy? It's obvious that these two people have some kind of shocking secret on them. If you follow them and find out about their secret, won't it bode ill for you? Listen to me, just find a random sword maiden to coordinate with us. We don't want to get involved in this mess!"
"No, Toad, I'm definitely getting involved in this mess!" Guhan firmly pushed Song Hama's hand away.
"Why?
Why do you want to get involved in this mess? "Song Hama did not understand.
"Since I know that the strongest ancient sword rank Sword Lady is here, what reason do I have not to have her!?" After saying this, Gu Han quickly followed Linling, who was getting further and further away.
"F * ck, I'm unlucky. I'll go with you then!" Song Hama was helpless. He was not the kind of person who would abandon his brothers.
However, when he was about to chase after them that day, Song Hama and Gu Han's guide blocked his way at the same time.
"Lord Song Hama, you have completed the synchronization and completed your mission.
Please leave the sword pavilion immediately! "Song Hama's guide's voice was gentle, but his attitude was firm.
"Then why can my friend follow you?"
"First, Mister Guhan has not chosen a sword maiden yet. Second, with the pavilion master there, we have no right to interfere!"
…
"Ling, is this good-looking young man a newcomer to your family?"
The old man asked softly. They were already deep in the sword pavilion, and they could no longer see the counters where the sword maidens were placed.
"Hehe, Mister Guhan is a genius. Our family does not have someone like Mister Guhan. He was picked up by Ling along the way!"
"Well, since he was picked up by Miss Linlin, it's fine if he follows you. Otherwise, I, an old man, will have a good talk with this young man who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!" The old man was full of malice.
"Mister, may I ask if you are the pavilion master of the sword pavilion?
Cloudy Sword Immortal Liu Lei? "Guhan suddenly asked when he noticed the old man's bad attitude.
"Interesting. A young man of your age knows my name!"
The old man was a little surprised. It had been more than 30 years since he had become famous. This young man, who had just reached adulthood, actually knew his name and nickname.
It really was him!
Gu Han also probed. He didn't think that the old man in front of him was actually Heavenly Sword Immortal Liu Lei, who stood at the peak.
Cloudy Sword Immortal was the title of the sword bearer. The title was specially created by the sword committee based on the sword bearer's ability, characteristics, achievements, and many other factors.
Only sword bearers of famed swords and above could receive a title from the sword committee.
This title was very particular. Cloudy described the characteristics of the sword bearer, and Sword Immortal represented the sword bearer's realm. As the name suggested, adding the word Sword Immortal to the title meant that Liu Lei was a legendary sword bearer who had reached the peak of the Immortal Sword Realm!!!
A sword bearer who had reached the Immortal Sword Realm in the world!
Many sword bearers might not have the opportunity to meet a sword bearer of the Immortal Sword Realm in their lifetime. However, on the first day Guhan became a sword bearer, he actually stood together with a sword bearer of the Immortal Sword Realm. This made Guhan not know where to put his hands.
"Guhan likes to read books and read some stories. Over time, he understood many of the legends of the ancestors.
When Lord Liu Lei was still a sword bearer of the Immortal Sword Realm, he single-handedly fought against the Eight Great Gold Saints. The younger generation will never forget this story for the rest of their lives! "
Guhan composed himself and sent a resounding bootlicking over. As the saying goes, flattery never works.
"Haha, that's all in the past. Let's not talk about it!
Let's not talk about it!
I'm just an old man guarding the door now! "
It could be seen that this Nine Firmament Sword Master still valued and was very proud of his heroic deeds.
His attitude towards Gu Han had also changed from being cold and indifferent to being kind and friendly.
"We're here. This is the place. If Miss Ling hadn't come, I might not have opened this door even if I died!"
Liu Lei patted on what was clearly a thick wall and a door opened out of thin air … Of course, it wasn't such an old-fashioned mechanism.
Liu Lei patted on what was clearly a thick wall and a big hole appeared in the ground out of thin air. Ling and Guhan, who were not mentally prepared, directly fell into this big hole.
When the somewhat dizzy Guhan stood up from the ground and regained his focus, he was surprised to find that he was actually in a large desert.
Countless ancient swords were densely inserted in this desert, exuding a kind of emotion full of sorrow.
This was a vast underground desert the size of a football field.
Above their heads was a rock wall made of stalactites, and there were some dim incandescent lamps around to provide some light.
"The Yi Xian Sword is here. Miss Ling, this old man's body is weak, so I'll go back to sleep first.
I'll pick you up in an hour. Whether you can find the Yi Xian Sword or not will depend on your luck. "With that, Liu Lei's voice disappeared from above their heads.
"Where are we?
Why are there so many swords and broken swords here? "
As far as the eye could see, some of the swords stuck in the desert were intact, while others were broken into two.
"This is the Land of Buried Swords!"
Ling tidied up her somewhat dusty pants. "For the past 700 years, all the sword maidens belonging to Yuzhang City who were broken in battle and couldn't be saved are buried here!"
"So that's how it is. No wonder I feel an indescribable sorrow here!"
During the battle with Yuan Kou, there were always some unfortunate sword maidens who couldn't return to their dimensional pockets in time and had their bodies destroyed by a powerful opponent. From then on, they completely perished, never to awaken again.
"That's right. Since they're broken and can't be saved, why are there swords here that look intact?" Guhan asked curiously. A quarter of the sword maidens here were actually intact.
"Because the Land of Buried Swords is a magical place. It has the special ability to heal broken sword maidens. If you have enough time and are lucky enough, you might even be able to resurrect them.
That's why the Sword Council threw those broken swords here.
But unfortunately, there aren't many cases of this resurrection, only in the double digits. "
"But why is the Yi Xian here?
Didn't the council say that she was sealed?
Why would she be in a place like the Land of Buried Swords? "Guhan continued to ask.
"That's because the Leisurely Celestial Sword wasn't sealed but broken!"
Ling casually revealed a shocking inside story. "Why would the smart people of the Sword Council, who think that they are unparalleled in the world, publicize their stupid things to the public?"
"… For you to tell me such explosive news, I won't be silenced by you guys, right?" Gu Han asked the question he was most afraid of in a joking tone.
"I didn't expect my brother Guhan to be a conspiracy theorist!"
Ling sarcastically said, "Since you came with me, I can guarantee your safety.
But you have to help me find the Yi Xian Sword.
Since you even know that old man Liu Lei, you don't need me to teach you how to distinguish the characteristics of the Yi Xian Sword, right? "
"That's not necessary. I do know the characteristics of the Yi Xian Sword."
Guhan nodded. "I want to ask one more thing. If I find the Yi Xian Sword first and coordinate with her, what will Miss Ling do?"
"I'll kill you!"
Ling suddenly turned around and glared at Guhan fiercely. But in an instant, her expression changed into a bright smile. "I'm joking. You'll marry me!"
