Spirit Emperor - C93
The river breeze blew gently onto his face, making him feel extremely comfortable. On the surface of the river, there were more than a thousand ships moving east to west. It was extremely bustling and bustling.
On one of the two decks, Li Xu Qin Qing was chatting with Yuling and the others. As for Le Heng, Lu Tuan and the others, they were at the bow of the ship teasing Little Zixing. They did not have anything to do with Jade Immortals Sword Sect, and since Jade Immortals Sword Sect were all women, they naturally would reject strange men. As for Little Zixing, who did not know much about human affairs, it was inconvenient for him to participate.
“Lee Xun, can you tell us some of the details of how your Sky Mountain Sect was attacked by the Southern Sword Sect Alliance? Although there are a lot of rumors, it’s not the same. Now that it is over, we should be able to reveal a little bit, right? ” Yuling asked.
Lee Xun and Qin Qing looked at each other and laughed as they shook their heads, saying, “Elder Yuling, I’m afraid I will have to disappoint you. Back then when our Tianshan Sword Sect were under siege, Qin Qing and I were not inside the Sword Sect, so we did not personally experience it. We only heard some stories about them after we returned later on, but we did not know whether they were exaggerating or not. ”
“It’s fine. Just say whatever you can. Actually, we also want to get to the bottom of this.”
Lee Xun heard the hidden meaning in Yuling’s words, and asked: “What is Elder Yuling’s explanation?”
“Before the Southern Sword Sect Alliance besieged your Tianshan Sword Sect, they made an announcement in advance. Firstly, they stole a few sword moves and cultivation secret methods from your Sword Sect, and secondly, they colluded with some Sword Sect in the east to oppress your Sword Sect in the south. The first point is naturally because I have taken a fancy to your Tianshan Sword Sect’s sword techniques and cultivation secret techniques. So the moment we heard the news, we gathered a group of elders and disciples to head towards your Tianshan Sword Sect. We want to be able to explain things clearly and, if necessary, do our part. The moment we entered the Tianshan Country, we received news that the Southern Sword Sect Alliance had suffered a great defeat, so we went back. If we went back to your Tianshan Sword Sect at that time, it might just be the truth. However, from start to finish, we still do not understand when Tianshan Sword Sect became so powerful. There were many rumors afterwards, and the more we hear, the more we feel that it’s mysterious.
Hearing that, Lee Xun finally understood that Jade Immortals Sword Sect’s way of doing things was rather open and upright, and told them that it was likely that they would not spread freely, and said: “If that’s the case, I’ll tell them some of the things I know ….”
Lee Xun only mentioned that Ouyang Qingfeng was fighting with someone, and some small scale battles, but he did not mention anything about capturing the elites of the Southern Sword Sect Alliance, since even if he told them, they would still believe him. There had to be such details in the rumors, but there were probably not many who believed it.
Hearing Lee Xun’s words, Yuling and the rest all nodded their heads, they knew that Lee Xun had to say what he wanted to say, and it was inconvenient for them to ask what he had to say. Yuling said: “I never thought that Sect Leader Ouyang’s strength would be so powerful, I think that those who fight him should at least have Human Rank, but Sect Leader Ouyang is actually able to win against multiple people, we are more worried about that.”
“What are Elder Yuling’s words saying? Since you have the heart to help our Tianshan Sword Sect, then I’ll thank you first.”
Yuling waved her hand, and said: “Let’s not talk about this anymore. In short, we must find a chance to repay the kindness our Tianshan Sword Sect had given me. I wonder what business do you all have with the Dongting Sword Sect this time, could it be that you all want to participate in the exchange too? ”
“Not really. We came here this time to search for someone, and secondly, to accompany my fellow disciples in proposing marriage. ”
Yu Chan, who was at the side, laughed tenderly: “Lee Xun, a young hero has recently appeared in Pineflower Country. We had all heard that the young hero had a fiancée who possessed both beauty and strength in the Dongting Sword Sect. Furthermore, his grand achievement of being angry at the crown for the sake of a beautiful woman is currently being sought after by countless women. ”
When Lee Xun heard this, he could not help but smile bitterly. He clearly did it for the Pineflower Country, why did it instead do it for Shang Rongrong? Qin Qing was also smiling at Lee Xun in an interesting manner, but her hands were pinching Lee Xun fiercely. This small action naturally did not deceive the crowd, causing Yu Chan and the others to laugh. Yuling laughed helplessly: “Yu Chan, don’t talk too much.”
Yu Chan covered her small mouth, pretending to be innocent as she softly replied, “Oh.”
“Elder Yuling, I heard that your Eastern Sword Sect allows us to participate, why do you think we are here?”
“There’s going to be a martial arts competition, and that’s the most important part of many Sword Sect s, but that’s not all. There were also stages of auctions and bartering. Because all of the Sword Sect in the east would be gathered at that time, the price of the same kind of item would usually be raised by 10 to 20% more than usual. Furthermore, the owners of some things might not necessarily want money, but rather hoped to exchange for items that would be useful to them. So I thought you were here for that. ”
“I’ve misunderstood. I wonder if we can participate in the auction and the exchange of items?” Lee Xun’s interest was piqued. Ever since Xiyin had appeared, Lee Xun had fallen in love with Treasure Seeking Masters, and when he had gifted those five thousand year old Spiritual Treasure to the old man, the old man was indescribably happy. This had slightly satisfied Lee Xun’s vanity, and now that there was such a chance, he naturally did not want to let it go.
Other than the Sword Sect in the east, there are many other powerhouses participating in the exchange. However, I have never heard of anyone from the east, and the exchange does not explicitly prohibit the participation of external Sword Sect and strength.
He himself was also considering whether or not he should ask them about Jade Immortals Sword Sect’s situation. Other than training, Lee Xun was an expert in business, and might be able to give some advice to Jade Immortals Sword Sect on how to earn money, but in the end, Lee Xun was still unable to hold back and said: “Elder Yuling, forgive me for being blunt, but recently I heard that Jade Immortals Sword Sect’s situation is not very good, and I’m not sure if I can inform you guys that we might be able to help out.”
Hearing Lee Xun’s question, everyone from the Jade Immortals Sword Sect looked pale, it was obvious that the situation was serious.
“Lee Xun, Qin Qing, I do not view you two as outsiders, but you guys will not be able to help.”
did not want to give up, since he had already spoken, he wanted to clarify this question even more: To let a group of women live off of bodyguards everyday, and to be squeezed by Dongting Sword Sect once every three years, this caused Lee Xun to feel extremely upset. If this was not related to Jade Immortals Sword Sect, he would not care, but now that he saw Yuling and the others, they were all emotional people, moreover, their actions were very open and upright, so he had to repay kindness very easily. Li Xu really wanted to help out with Jade Immortals Sword Sect, even if it was just a little, it was good enough to say: “Elder Yuling, I heard someone say that Jade Immortals Sword Sect only accepts large amounts of disciples, and even female disciples can earn a lot of money.
“Sigh, actually this isn’t a big secret. It’s just that as time passes, the number of people who know will decrease. It was around two hundred years ago, when Jade Immortals Sword Sect was at its peak. There were thousands of male and female disciples in the sect. Once, a few orphaned female disciples were invited by a rich merchant to be their guests. The result was that the animal less wealthy merchant became interested in the wine and drugged them. Afterwards, he even threatened them. If anyone dared to leak this secret, he would announce today’s matter to the public and make it so that they would never be able to lift up their heads again. However, two months later, one of the female disciples was discovered by an elder and became pregnant. But that rich merchant gave me a lot of support for my Jade Immortals Sword Sect, and many elders of the sect defended him, there are even some who suggested for a few humiliated female disciples to marry that rich merchant. As for the pregnant female disciple, because she was under too much pressure, she found her short sword. At that time, the Sect Leader had fought with several elders, and in the end, the Sect Leader won, and dismissed all the male disciples and elders from the sect. Those who wanted to leave could also leave on their own, and at the same time, the previous Sect Leader had set up a rule to only accept female orphans as disciples. Therefore, the strength of our Jade Immortals Sword Sect has plummeted. In the past few decades, we have been under increasing pressure, and at the same time, there haven’t been any disciples in the sect who are good at managing. All kinds of business have been lost, and in the end, all of us had no choice but to give up. “That’s roughly the case.”
As a result, Lee Xun finally understood why his Jade Immortals Sword Sect had fallen into such a state.
