Since ancient times, all the King of Swords families had settled in the base cities. They were located in the safest location in the base cities, protected by an independent dimensional barrier.
For example, Mount Di in Yuzhang City or Lake Di in Yanjing City.
There was only one family that didn't have their base of operations in any of the eight base cities. Instead, they had built their base on a mountain.
The original name of the mountain was unknown. Nowadays, people called it Liunian Mountain.
The most amazing thing about Liunian Mountain was that there was a huge lake in the center. The lake water soaked the entire mountainside. As the saying went, mountains were connected to water, and water was connected to the mountain. There was a mountain in the water, and there was water in the mountain.
Back then, the Sword Ancestor had seen the beautiful scenery of this place, so he had built the foundation of the Liu Nian family here.
The Liu Nian Family Estate was heavily guarded. Patrols could be seen patrolling the area from the middle of the mountain. The entire hill was surrounded by a dimensional barrier. There was only a single door at the entrance to the mountain that people could enter.
Guhan observed the patrols carefully. He was surprised to find that although they all looked human, only some of them were swordsmen. Most of them were Yuan Kou filled with dimensional auras.
"Don't you think it's amazing?
There are more Yuan Kou in my family than there are humans! "
Liunian Ling could see the disbelief on Guhan's face. She explained proudly, "These are the friends of the Liunian Family in the past 1,000 years. The Liunian Family helped them become free people. Some of them are willing to go to the free cities, but some are willing to stay with the Liunian Family and live a peaceful life. Over time, our family has gathered so many friends.
Don't worry. They have lived peacefully with us for 900 years. They definitely do not have any bad intentions. They are our most trusted friends.
However, although they have become free people, they are not willing to fight with Yuan Kou. So, unless Yuan Kou attacks the Liunian Family, they will not do anything, "Liunian Ling explained.
Guhan nodded. This was similar to Zhe Tian Jiandi's three Egyptian gods. However, Zhe Tian Jiandi used coercion, while the Liunian Family's methods were much better. They made these free people stay with them willingly.
Gu Han glanced over indifferently and saw many famous Yuan Zhens in history. These Yuan Zhens had once defeated the human sword bearers and were the most difficult opponents for the human race to deal with.
However, they gradually disappeared from history. Guhan thought they were dead. He didn't expect them to live in the Liunian Family.
These were all very powerful Yuan Kou. There was no lack of Yu Rank Yuan Kou. If these Yuan Kou were willing to help humans, humans would have a much better life.
Unfortunately, these Yuan Kou were only here because of their friendship with the Liunian Family. They were not willing to help humans.
"Miss!" At the gate, two guards saw Liunian Ling and immediately greeted her respectfully.
Guhan noticed that these two guards were not swordsmen. They were just ordinary people. With the Liunian Family's style, they did not use practitioners as guards. Instead, they used two ordinary people. Guhan had to think about the meaning behind this.
"Sorry, you can't go in!"
Just as Guhan was about to follow Liunian Ling into the Liunian Mountain, the two guards suddenly blocked Guhan's way.
Guhan silently took a step back. It was best not to say anything at a time like this. He would let Liunian Ling handle this kind of thing.
"I know the rules, but this is my friend. Can't I bring a friend home?" Liunian Ling asked the two guards.
"Miss, this is the first time you've brought an outsider back, so you might not know the rules very well.
According to the rules of the Liunian Family, unless they are swordsmen above Spirit Sword Rank, descendants of the Sword Emperor Family, or special permission from the family head, they are not allowed to enter the Liunian Family.
The friends you brought in before were all descendants of the Sword Emperor Family, so we never stopped them.
The friend you brought isn't a descendant of any aristocratic family, so we stopped him, "the two guards explained in a methodical manner.
"…" Liunian Ling didn't say anything. Just as the two guards said, she really didn't know the rules … This feeling was terrible. Liunian Ling felt like she didn't have any face left in front of Guhan.
"Then I'll send a message to my grandfather and ask him to let him in." Liunian Ling said angrily.
"The Great Grandfather's words are useless!"
Unexpectedly, the guard retorted, "According to the rules of the Liunian Family, only the Family Head's words are effective.
The Great Grandfather has already stepped down from the position of Family Head, so the Family Head has to come personally to bring him in. "
"What did you say!
It's not like you don't know that my dad is in Moscow right now … helping my mom … How can he get by! "Liunian Ling was even more furious.
"Then Miss, I'm sorry. We really can't let him in."
These two guards seemed to have a poker face. Throughout the entire conversation, they didn't show any expression at all. No one knew what they were thinking.
Even though the two guards were talking about the Liunian Family's rules, as if everything had to be done according to the Liunian Family's rules, it made Guhan even more suspicious.
Everyone knew that while the Family Head was Liunian Ling's father, the one who was actually in charge was Liunian Ling's grandfather, Fleeting Wooden Fish. If Fleeting Wooden Fish's words were useless against the two guards, then how could Fleeting Wooden Fish be the Emperor?
Fleeting Wooden Fish must have found out about his arrival through some means, which was why he purposely arranged for the two guards to stand guard. He even pretended to be impartial.
"Alright, I understand now!
There must be someone behind this … Forget it … Guhan, wait here for a while … I'll go in and look for him … "Liunian Ling understood as well, and was about to rush into the house to have a friendly chat with Fleeting Wooden Fish.
"Wait!
Ling! "
Guhan grabbed Liunian Ling's hand and stopped Liunian Ling, who was about to rush into the house. "Ling, can you let me handle this?"
"You handle it?
Who asked you to come … Fine, you can deal with it yourself! "Fleeting Cold, who was about to reject the offer, suddenly changed his mind.
This scene caused the expressions of the two expressionless guards to change slightly. They watched as Liunian Ling's hand was firmly held in Guhan's, and saw that a single sentence from Guhan was enough to change Liunian Ling's mind. They could not help but sigh in their hearts. Their young miss has finally grown up.
"Brothers, I've heard of a legend about the Flowing Light Family, but I'm not sure if it's true. I would like to ask for your advice!" Guhan walked forward and cupped his fists at the two guards.
"Speak!" the guards said stiffly.
"I heard that when Wu Zhong Jiandi was young, he wanted to enter the Flowing Light Family and borrow their records. However, he was rejected by the Flowing Light Family due to his lowly status.
However, Wu Zhong Jiandi was young and rash, and he killed his way from the main gate to the middle of the mountain. As a result, he obtained special permission from the Flowing Light Family, allowing him to enter and leave the Flowing Light Family freely. Is this rumor true? "Guhan asked stiffly.
"This …" The two guards hesitated. They did not know how to answer this question.
However, Liunian Ling suddenly clapped her hands and said, "That's right, that's right. There's such a thing. I've even heard my father tell this story before!
Guhan, you're really knowledgeable!
This matter is true. It can't be faked. "
Alright, since the First Miss had admitted it, there was no need for the two guards to hide it anymore. They nodded and said, "That's right."
Guhan smiled slightly when he heard that. "Alright. Today, Guhan intends to imitate Wu Zhong Jiandi. I'll kill my way to the middle of the mountain and win the right to enter and leave the Flowing Light Family freely. Is that possible?"
"Insolence!"
The guard snorted. "Back then, Wu Zhong Jiandi used an ordinary iron sword to kill his way up. If you use your sword ladies to kill your way up, what kind of ability is that?"
"Which ear of yours heard that I'm going to use sword ladies to kill my way up?!"
Guhan snorted coldly. Then, he handed his sword ladies to Liunian Ling. He took out an ordinary iron sword from his dimensional pocket and said, "Is this enough?"
"Good. You have guts!
Then, let us two brothers have a taste of your skills! "
The two ordinary people also drew out two iron swords from somewhere and stood in front of Gu Han to block his attack.
"Guhan, you must be careful. They have been studying swordsmanship in the Canglan Sea Pavilion since they were young. If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't synchronize their sword ladies, they would definitely become the best sword masters. Don't underestimate them!" Liunian Ling reminded.
As soon as Liunian Ling finished speaking, Guhan started fighting with the two guards. Both sides were competing in the most basic swordsmanship. It didn't involve sword essence or sword qi, which only sword ladies could use. It felt like they had returned to the pugilistic world of the Middle Ages. As far as the eye could see, there were cold flashes of swords.
It was indeed as Liunian Ling had said. The two guards' swordsmanship was extraordinary. They were among the best in this world.
According to Gu Han's senses, these two so-called swordsmen had at least 30% of his standard. Gu Han wanted to see how strong they were, so there was no clear winner and loser, and they were just entangled with each other.
The fight at the gate quickly attracted the attention of the other patrolling guards.
These patrolling guards immediately gave up on their original mission and began to enjoy the battle with great interest.
