Chapter 435.2: An Outsider Seeking Sword Inquisition - Part 2

As he reached the end of the iron chain and peered beyond the depths of the dense fog, the young man was stunned into silence by the spectacle before him.

Before him stood a tall mountain suspended in the air, its form shrouded within a sea of clouds. Surrounding the mountain, countless flying swords traversed the area, as if guarding the towering peak, yet also appearing as ordinary wanderers. Beyond that, an endless amount of sword qi emanated, as if there existed a peerless sword between heaven and earth, its sharpness clearly evident.

At this moment, no one would doubt that this mountain before them was the most mysterious sect in the world.

The sect that dared to claim that only sword cultivators that came from my Sword Sect were true sword cultivators!

The young man calmed his mind, placing his hand on the flying sword that was trembling uncontrollably at this moment, and then spoke softly, "Don't be hasty."

After taking a deep breath, the young man spoke in a deep voice, "The Academy's Liu Banbi, has come to Sword Sect to seek a sword inquisition from Seniors!"

His voice was not loud, but it was enough to reach the top of the mountain.

But before his words could fade, a flying sword shot forth from the mountain towards Liu Banbi with roaring sword qi, its commotion immense.

Liu Banbi remained silent, drawing out his flying sword Embracing Cicada at the same time, and sent out a sword strike. It was similarly filled with sword intent. Then Liu Banbi released Embracing Cicada, allowing the two flying swords to engage in a fierce battle. Liu Banbi continued saying with a smile, "This junior has come to Sword Sect for a sword inquisition. I'm not asking for the Sect Master to give guidance, but I would like to exchange a few moves with a sword immortal senior no matter what."

Laughter echoed from the mountain, "Liu Banbi, if you want to see the Sect Master's sword, it's not difficult. If you can challenge all the sword cultivators on the mountain, you'll naturally see the Sect Master send out his sword."

Liu Banbi smiled and asked, "May I ask how many sword immortals are there in Sword Sect?"

There was no answer from the other side, he just said, "That depends on how many swords you can withstand."

Liu Banbi smiled and did not say anything. At this moment, his sword intent had reached its peak. Facing this mysterious sect, he dared not relax at all. Though the Sword Sect had not been involved in worldly affairs for many years and just cultivated the sword in seclusion, they were still regarded as a holy land by sword cultivators worldwide. This indicated the extraordinary nature of the Sword Sect.

Liu Banbi's sword inquisition this time was not to suppress the entire Sword Sect until it could not breathe, but rather to at least defeat one of the sword immortals, so that Sword Sect would know that not all sword cultivators in the world were inferior to those from the Sword Sect.

The flying sword quickly returned after breaking free from the Embracing Cicada. Then a majestic voice echoed from the mountain, "Rather impressive, no wonder you didn't die on that Great Wall."

Afterward, the clouds dispersed, a middle-aged sword cultivator with a sword hanging from his waist appeared in Liu Banbi's sight.

The middle-aged sword cultivator hovered in mid-air and quickly reported his background, "Sword Sect, Chen Tianzhen."

Liu Banbi was taken aback. He had never heard of this sword cultivator's name before, indicating that this person had never traveled the world. However, the manifestation of his sword qi showed that he was undoubtedly a sword immortal.

Was this the foundation of the number one sword sect in the world?

Liu Banbi recalled the flying sword Embracing Cicada and did not rush to take action. Instead, he asked, "I have two questions, may I ask Senior to answer?"

Chen Tianzhen smiled and nodded, "Ask away."

"I dare to ask Senior, in the past hundred years, how many battles have the sword cultivators who came to Sword Sect for a sword inquisition fought?" The question of how many battles they had fought was actually asking how many times the sword cultivators of the current era had defeated the Sword Sect's sword cultivators.

Chen Tianzhen replied calmly, "In the past hundred years, barely any sword cultivators have come, and none have defeated the sword cultivators of my Sword Sect."

Liu Banbi chuckled, "It seems that this junior will be the first to do so."

Following that, a burst of laughter echoed from the mountain, "Junior Brother, you should practice your sword more diligently."

Chen Tianzhen ignored the sound from the mountain and just smiled at Liu Banbi, "The second match will be between Senior Brother Ji and Sword Immortal Liu. I will observe on the side."

Liu Banbi nodded, feeling a sense of reverence towards the Sword Sect before him. He came to seek a sword inquisition, claiming it was just sparring. But in reality, in the eyes of other sects, this was a matter concerning the honor of the sect. Sending someone to fight was best done in the first match, where defeating him would be ideal.

But it seemed that the Sword Sect did not care about matters of face. Chen Tianzhen was about on par with his own Sword Dao cultivation. He was not the strongest of this generation in the Sword Sect. Sending him out as the vanguard was actually the Sword Sect's way of hospitality.

All sword cultivators in the world were friends.

After a moment, a handsome sword cultivator in black appeared not far from Liu Banbi, clasping his hand and smiling, "I'm Ji Baili, my companion sword is Green Apricot. Please give me guidance, Sword Immortal Liu."

Liu Banbi was not in a hurry to draw his sword, he just asked, "May I ask, how many sword immortals are there in this generation?"

Ji Baili shook his head, "It's the same sentence, if Sword Immortal Liu wants to know how many sword immortals there are in the Sword Sect, it will have to depend on your own abilities."

Liu Banbi took a deep breath, becoming increasingly impressed by the Sword Sect's foundation.

There were probably no fewer powerhouses in the Sword Sect than there were in the Infatuation Daoist Temple.

Liu Banbi smiled and said, "Speaking of which, if I had known I wanted to learn the sword, I should have come to the Sword Sect to find a master."

Knowing the background of the sword immortal before him, Ji Baili smiled and said, "Saying so, I'm afraid the Dean will be heartbroken."

"Teacher has a good temper, I believe he won't be so."

As Liu Banbi's words fell, his hand reached out again. Embracing Cicada was grasped in his palm once more, and the sound of cicadas chirping immediately filled the air.

Ji Baili's sword qi rose gently, like a spring breeze, devoid of any murderous intent; only the warm sense of spring.

The flying sword in his sheath slowly emerged, its blade green like the color of spring.

The flying sword named Green Apricot had a slender body, its sharpness evident.

Two flying swords from Sword Qi Mountain, each held in the hands of its respective master, exuded their own sword qi.

A great battle was about to begin.

......

......

Deep within the Sword Sect, there was a cave filled with sword qi. In front of the cave, several rusty flying swords were half-inserted into the mountain.

During the first battle between Liu Banbi and Chen Tianzhen, there was no sound within the cave. It was not until the chirping of cicadas filled the air that a faint "hmm" could be heard from within.

Somewhat satisfied, but not enough.
