Chapter 502: Sword Immortal and Air Force

It was another three years in a flash.

Zhennan Palace.

In three years, the Zhennan Palace stretched for dozens of miles, and the whole Wuhan became extremely prosperous.

In three years, Wuhan became the political center of the south.

Three years ago, the Prince of Zhennan's Palace began to establish provincial and county yamen in various prefectures and counties in the Jinghu area, and set up a very complete set of official administrative institutions.

During this process, there were those who were willing to cooperate, those who wanted to resist, and even those who wanted to revolt. The final result was always that there were waves at first, but then it calmed down again.

The power of the Huashan Sect is no longer something that ordinary people can resist, oh, even practitioners can't resist it.

Although the Jinghu area is far away from the original Huajing, it is very remote and there are practitioners from all factions, even those very ancient wizard-like sects, and there are also many immortals with extremely powerful magic powers.

After the Hua Dynasty fell apart, they had each formed their own territories, and naturally did not want to see the Zhennan Palace occupy their territories, so these sects also fought hard. However, the Huashan Sect's disciples were so powerful that no matter how strong they were, if they sent a few hundred disciples over and set up a Tiangang Big Dipper formation, even an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage would not be able to resist.

In three years, the Huashan Sect destroyed thousands of sects in the south.

Of course, there are also sects that actively try to get closer to the Zhennan Palace. In fact, there are more such sects. They actively cooperate with the Zhennan Palace's administration, and the Zhennan Palace does not treat them unfairly. They absorb their disciples into the government system, mainly into the Demon Suppression Division.

The Demon Suppression Division is an organization established mainly by Huashan Sect disciples, modeled after the Daoluo Division, to specifically deal with practitioners. This organization is now led by Xiao Feng.

Over the years, it was Xiao Feng who led the Demon Suppression Division to suppress the evil spirits in the south, ensuring that there were no obstacles to the provincial and county governments built by the Prince of Zhennan's Palace.

After three years of operation, the Zhennan Palace has completely taken control of the Jinghu area. Now the Zhennan Palace is discussing further expanding the scope of its governance.

But the discussion now is whether to develop eastwards or westwards.

To the east are Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which have become increasingly demonized in recent years. Although the scope has not continued to expand, the situation inside is becoming increasingly incomprehensible.

There are more and more new species, even humans can be divided into dozens of species, not to mention the monsters, which have become even more bizarre. Sometimes you can't tell whether the species is from this world or came from the underworld.

Regardless of whether they are humans, monsters, or species that have escaped from the underworld, the common characteristic of people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is brutality and violence.

This is understandable. In such a devilish land, those who are not cruel and violent cannot survive.

After a brief discussion, the Zhennan Palace decided to develop towards the southwest. There was no other way. Given the current situation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, if they developed towards that direction, there might be heavy casualties once the Nether Well erupted. It would be better to develop towards the southwest first and build it into the last bastion of mankind to prepare for the coming of the great catastrophe of heaven and earth.

However, if they expand to the southwest, they will inevitably encounter an extremely tough opponent. Of course, it is not the large clans in Shu, but the common belief of Shu - Jianlu.

There is a sword immortal in Mount Shu, and the sword immortal comes from the Sword Hut.

Even during the heyday of the Hua Dynasty, it only ruled Shu in name, and the reason was because of the existence of Jianlu.

Since we want to take over Shu, we need someone to explore the way.

Lu Lin'er and Gong Wang'an took on the task of exploring the path.

Since Huajing started following Xin Zhen, time has passed in a flash, and the two little kids back then have now grown into young swordsmen with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes.

Ever since Xin Zhen asked the Huashan Sect's disciples to go down the mountain for training, Lu and Gong have been inseparable. Together they have fought against countless powerful enemies.

Both of them are people with extremely free and easy personalities. They often help the weak and fight against the strong, but they usually leave after the task is done, extremely free and easy. Therefore, people in the world gave them a very nice nickname, called the Two Immortals of Free and Easy.

In the past few years, their cultivation has improved rapidly, especially in swordsmanship, which has reached the level of being fluent with gods. Almost all of Xin Zhen's swordsmanship has been learned by the two of them, including the Five Mountains Swordsmanship, Dugu Nine Swords, Quanzhen Swordsmanship, Tai Chi Swordsmanship, Tiangang Big Dipper Formation, and even the Yin-Yang Swordsmanship.

Generally speaking, if Huashan disciples can learn the Dugu Nine Immortal Swords, then the Dugu Nine Immortal Swords will be their strongest swordsmanship. If they want to fight against opponents of higher levels, they have to use the Tiangang Big Dipper formation and must use all the sword balls to win.

But for these two people, their most powerful sword technique is the Liang Yi Sword Technique.

When the two swords join forces, they are at their most powerful.

This Liangyi sword technique is the unique martial art of Wudang Sect, which was created by two senior masters of Wudang Sect after decades of efforts. The sword technique has both yin and yang, both hardness and softness. When attacking, one is slow and the other is fast. Although the postures are not elegant, the sword moves are simple and solid, and there are few flaws, which is rare.

When the fight reached a critical point, one man swung his sword with great force; the other man quickly advanced and retreated, with cold stars appearing on the tip of his sword.

Taoist priests Qingxu and Chenggao once used this sword technique to embarrass Linghu Chong, but because their sword skills were not high enough and they could not mix yin and yang into one, they were ultimately defeated by Linghu Chong's "Nine Swords of Dugu".

After arriving in this world, Xin Zhen originally did not pay much attention to this sword technique, but one time Gong Wangan asked Xin Zhen for the double sword technique, and Xin Zhen then dug it out. Unexpectedly, it was blossomed here by the two of them.

Gong Wangan and Lu Lin'er are now also the ancestors. The two of them are from the same lineage, known in the martial arts world as the Xiaoyaoxian lineage, and they accept disciples in pairs.

The two of them have accepted more than one hundred disciples, and their disciples' disciples are now accepting disciples. Today, the Huashan Sect has five generations living under the same roof.

The two men set out from the Zhennan Palace and turned into two beams of light heading southwest. In just half a day, they saw a basin similar to a large bowl among the mountains.

The two of them landed quietly.

On this day, the two entered Chengdu.

The whole Shu area was filled with an extremely comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. The people of Shu loved to enjoy themselves, which was quite different from people in other places. The two of them were also very strange. They even felt relaxed when they saw the big families fighting.

Gong Wangan said with emotion: "This place is really amazing."

Lu Liner nodded and said, "If possible, I hope this place won't be caught up in the flames of war."

Gong Wangan said with a smile: "The great catastrophe of heaven and earth is about to come. There is no pure land in the world. We must take this place. This is the last hope of the human race."

Both of them sighed, and then began their mission of this trip, which was to find the sword hut.

Legend has it that Shu Mountain is Wawu Mountain, but some people have gone to look for it and have not found it.

The Huashan Sect wants to contact Jianlu to discuss how to deal with the great catastrophe of heaven and earth next.

Originally, someone in the Zhennan Palace suggested to march directly into Shu and take it down with a thunderous force. If Jianlu tried to stop them, they would just take them down together.

But in the end, this proposal was rejected because Jianlu had always had a good reputation. Although it was famous, it basically did not interfere in worldly affairs. Moreover, the legendary Jianlu swordsmen basically focused on helping the weak and suppressing the strong. The Zhennan Palace believed that this sect, which had neither too many ambitions nor did evil, could cooperate.

In the coming catastrophe of heaven and earth, the human race will need more strength to fight together.

However, Lu and Gong searched for several days, went to Wawu Mountain, and searched carefully in the vast mountains, but they just couldn't find it.

Lu Liner finally couldn't hold back any longer and said, "How about we follow my method?"

Gong Wangan gave a bitter smile. As soon as they entered Sichuan, Lu Lin'er suggested that they set up an arena and beat up the famous practitioners in Sichuan first. Then the people from Jianlu would naturally come out.

He also said something like spreading the word that there is no one in Sichuan. If the swordsman in Jianlu saw it, he would naturally come out. This way, he would achieve twice the result with half the effort.

But Gong Wangan disagreed, thinking that although this was simple, it would offend people too much. If he really needed to seek refuge in Sichuan in the future, it would not be a good idea.

Lu Lin'er, however, ridiculed Gong Wang'an for being timid, and said that it was time to defeat the Sichuan practitioners. Otherwise, when the Huashan Sect entered Sichuan in the future, there would inevitably be some ignorant people, which would cause a lot of trouble.

It is better to strike the first blow now, so as to avoid a hundred blows in the future.

But no matter what Lu Lin'er said, Gong Wangan just disagreed and insisted on looking for it first.

At present, it seems that my method is indeed not effective.

Seeing Gong Wang'an pondering, Lu Lin'er knew that Gong Wang'an was already tempted, and immediately said with great joy: "Let's do this. Who are the famous masters of Sichuan and Shu? Liang Zhouhua, the sword from western Sichuan, Lang Qiaosheng, the sword from the west, Ni Jingbo, the Buddha, Xiuzhi Taoist priest from Qingcheng Mountain, and Ruan Baoyi from Emei Mountain. These five people are collectively known as the Five Wonders of Shu. Let's take them down?"

Gong Wangan said speechlessly: "Are you just hoping that you won't find it, so that you can start your own business?"

Lu Lin'er asked seriously: "Am I such a person?"

Gong Wangan nodded and said, "You are."

Lu Liner was so angry that her mouth twisted, and she angrily said, "Gong Wangan, you idiot, when did I become so aggressive? Didn't I look for people these few days very actively?"

Gong Wangan sneered and said, "Come on, I don't know about others, but don't you and I know? Just do as you wish, and you can choose for yourself."

Lu Lin'er was immediately overjoyed and said, "Okay, okay, let's go find Chuanxi Yijian first. It is said that he is the most arrogant and the best at showing off in the whole Shu land."

Gong Wangan sighed and said, "Okay, let's go find him, but I will talk to Master about it when I get back."

Lu Lin'er suddenly became nervous and said, "What are you going to say to Master? I warn you, don't say anything nonsense."

All the disciples revered Xin Zhen as a god. When Lu Lin'er heard that Gong Wangan was going to complain, his face turned pale.

Gong Wangan laughed and said, "Are you scared now?"

Lu Liner then realized that Gong Wangan was joking, and immediately said in dissatisfaction: "Playing is joking, but don't make fun of the master. I'm so scared that I'm about to pee."

Gong Wangan asked curiously, "I am puzzled. Master never hits or scolds us. Why are you so afraid of Master?"

Lu Lin'er shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid, I'm respectful. Master saved us, taught us martial arts, and treated us like his own children for so many years. If I disappoint Master in any way, I will never forgive myself."

Gong Wangan nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, without Master, there would be no us."

He paused and said, "So should we fight or not?"

Lu Lin'er said as a matter of course: "Of course we fight, we want to force the people out of Jianlu, this is the task assigned to us by our master!"

Gong Wangan laughed and nodded, "Okay, let's go."

He paused, a look of longing on his face, and said, "I also want to fight with the masters of Sichuan and Shu. I haven't fought for a long time, and I feel a little itchy."

Lu Liner: “…”

"Sure enough, when it comes to being reserved and sultry, you're the one."

It is not easy to find people from Jianlu, but it is easy to find Liang Zhouhua, the best swordsman in western Sichuan.

Liang Zhouhua's Taoist temple is located in a small lake in Chengdu, named Xunfengchi.

Liang Zhouhua is a legendary figure. He did not belong to any sect since he was a child and was just a child from an ordinary family. When he was 20 years old, he woke up one day and said that in his dream, an immortal taught him skills. Then he hid in the mountains. Decades later, the villagers saw him again. He still looked 20 years old. They were very surprised and said that he had become an immortal.

Of course he did not become an immortal, he was just a cultivator, but in Sichuan he was regarded as an immortal.

For decades, he rarely encountered opponents in Sichuan and Shu, and fought hundreds of battles, both large and small, with almost no defeat. He was revered as one of the five greatest masters of Sichuan and Shu. Later, he fled to Xunfeng Pond, built a few huts by the pond, and practiced there.

The population at Xunfeng Pond is actually quite dense, and people often see him riding a sword and fishing over the pond, so some people call Xunfeng Pond the Sword Immortal Pond.

As for Liang Zhouhua's arrogance, it was because he only used three moves when fighting with others. If he could not defeat the opponent with three moves, he would just walk away and never fight with the opponent again. When someone asked him about it, he said that the fact that the opponent could take his three moves showed that he had good talent and had worked hard. If he continued to fight with others, it would be unfair to these people's hard work.

This shows how arrogant this person is.

Some people think that he is kind-hearted and not arrogant.

But some people think that Liang Zhouhua has not learned much and only knows three moves. If he can't defeat his opponent with three moves, he has no more moves.

But everyone actually knew in their hearts that for a powerful being who was at least at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, how could he only have three moves? It could only be attributed to the immense pride in this person's heart.

Lu and Gong went to Xunfeng Pond. On the way, they asked for directions. The passerby smiled and said, "You want to go to Jianxian Pond, right? Walk ten miles inside and there is a lake with half a pool of lotus flowers. That is Jianxian Pond. If you are lucky, you can even see Liang Jianxian fishing on the lake with his sword."

Lu Lin'er was surprised and asked, "Doesn't Liang Jianxian avoid people?"

The passerby laughed and said, "Hey, actually everyone here has seen Liang Jianxian. He is a very nice person, not arrogant at all. Sometimes when he catches fish, he shares some with the onlookers. But Liang Jianxian's fishing skills are not good, and it is true that he often fails to catch anything. Tsk, it can only be said that even a sword immortal can't do something, so a mortal like me will naturally have difficulties too."

Lu and Gong: "..."
