Anyang, Shanxi, in the "Baleful Eagle Gang," "It's so late. Who the hell are you?" A disciple rubbed his loose eyes as he walked towards the door with resentment in his mouth. He stretched lazily, yawned a few more times, and leisurely opened the door. At first glance, he looked very similar to the skin of White Impermanence in Purgatory, but what was even more surprising was that his hair was completely white. He held a treasured sword in his left hand, and the murderous intent in his eyes caused the disciples who opened the door to feel a chill in their hearts. The disciple carefully sized up the man in front of him and asked with a trembling voice, "You … "Who are you?" The white clothed man looked straight ahead, as if he was unwilling to take another look at the disciple. He said softly, "I want to see your Sect Leader, quickly ask him to come out." The disciple scratched the back of his head, puzzled, and asked: "Since you want to see our Sect Master, do you know that you should first sign your name scroll according to the rules of the martial arts world? Besides, our sect leader is fast asleep in the middle of the night. Friend, I think you should head back first. Come back tomorrow morning! " The white-clothed man didn't seem to plan to leave so easily. He pushed the disciple aside and walked straight in. That disciple suppressed his voice and said: "Hey, you're so rude, how can you not enter? Quickly stop!" With a "whoosh", the white robed man pulled out the sword in his hand and placed it on the disciple's neck. This sword was three feet two inches long, and the body of the sword was a white jade color. That disciple was scared out of his wits and said: "You, you, you." He actually said the word "you", but he didn't know what to say next. The white clothed man stared at him with eyes filled with killing intent, and said coldly: "Friend, I do not wish to kill, you should go and inform your Clan Master, tell him that 'White-haired Devil Child' requests an audience, and ask him to come out immediately." After he finished speaking, he withdrew his sword and elegantly put it back into its sheath. Feeling that he had narrowly escaped death, the disciple did not dare to stay any longer and hurriedly ran into the inner courtyard.
At the Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall of Capital entrance, Shi Yi was leaning against the table, dozing off while wearing a thick overcoat. It was his turn to be on night watch tonight. Shi Yi did not dare to sleep soundly. He could vaguely hear the sounds of horse hooves coming from afar. He slowly raised his head and stood up to look ahead. Not far away, a young man around the age of 22 dismounted and walked over. Under the shadow of the moon, his face was pale. It was clear that he was exhausted from his journey. The man asked carefully, "Hello, big brother! Excuse me, is this Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall of Capital? " Shi Yi looked at the slightly built man in front of him, looked up and down, and then said: "That's right, this is the Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall of Capital, you see, the gold character plaque does not lie." The man took two steps back, bowed deeply, and said very politely: "This big brother, I heard that the Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall of Capital accepts all martial artists from the world, so I came from afar in order to join Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall. Although I am not some martial arts expert, I still want to do my best to help Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall. " Shi Yi also quickly returned the courtesy, and opened the register beside the table, he took up his brush and dipped it in ink, then asked: "Brother, may I know your name and rank? What sect or clan did you come from? " The man said: "My surname is Tan, a single name means' Yuan ', and I accept Master's Sword Controlling Sect of Shandong." Shi Yi grew up in the capital, he did not interact with too many martial artists from the martial world, so he had never heard of the Sword Controlling Sect he spoke of before. However, as a person on duty, he naturally wouldn't ask too much and only dutifully registered Tan Yuan's name and sect on the list. Shi Yi took out another small bamboo tablet, and wrote the word "Tan Yuan" on it. He handed it over and said: "Brother, take this bamboo tablet inside, and someone will bring you to the side room to rest. Tomorrow morning, there will also be someone who will bring you to see Deputy Master. If you pass the Deputy Master's examination, you will be able to become a member of our Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall. " Tan Yuan bowed again, and asked: "Then what about my horses?" Shi Yi understood what he meant, and said: "Don't worry brother, I will bring it to the stable to feed it, it will definitely not get thinner from hunger." Tan Yuan saw that Shi Yi was a kind and sincere person, and said happily: "Thank you, big brother." After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall, then followed a guard. After passing through many levels of tunnels, he arrived at the resting wing. The guard politely replied, "Brother, you should temporarily rest well tonight. If you need anything, you can call for me anytime." Tan Yuan replied with a bow, "Many thanks Big Brother!
After seeing off the guards, he tossed his backpack onto the table. He took off his outer clothes and rested on the bed, allowing his exhausted body to rest. Tan Yuan thought: Although Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall of Capital is a place established by the imperial government, the guards in the palace do not feel that they are looking down on us people from the martial arts world. They treat me extremely well. No matter what, I have to borrow the strength of my Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall to investigate that person's whereabouts and personally take revenge for father. As Tan Yuan thought about this, his eyelids unconsciously drooped down. Gradually, his body laid flat on the bed, and he subconsciously covered himself with the blanket and gradually fell asleep.
"Good …" Good... Powerful... White hair... "Demon child!" In the previous match, the sect master of the Evil Hawk Gang had suffered a crushing defeat. Even though he was a Sect Master, he was still frightened. The disciples hurriedly helped him up. The man in white didn't say anything more and slowly walked out the door. The disciples carried the Sect Master into the inner hall and handed him a cup of Spirit Calming Tea. Sect Master Li Fei's hands trembled as she took the teacup and said, "We …" The Evil Hawk Gang was an ordinary small gang. "Why did he come here to challenge us? I never would have thought that he was even more powerful and terrifying than the rumors in the martial arts world." The disciples in the sect didn't seem to look down on their Sect Leader because of his previous defeat. Instead, they asked curiously, "Sect Leader, who was that person just now? How did she obtain such outstanding sword skills?" Li Fei wiped away the sweat on her forehead and took a deep breath, then said: "Sword Controlling Sect of Shandong's sword technique is amazing, as expected of the current second place in Martial-arts Circles of Central Plains. That guy's sword moves have so many changes, I used all my strength, but I actually couldn't even take ten moves. The disciples in the sect were a little confused, they continued to ask: "Sect Leader, we have all heard that Sword Controlling Sect of Shandong is an extremely prestigious sect in the martial arts world, so how could they allow their disciples to bully a small sect like us?" Li Fei sighed, shook her head and said: "If it was in the past, then Brother Tan Berxiong would definitely not have done it. On the other hand, he would coexist peacefully with us, the small gangs. If we were in trouble, he would come to our aid immediately. But it is different from the past, Brother Tan Berxiong was killed by someone, the inside of his Sword Controlling Sect of Shandong is in chaos, it is hard to protect himself. " The disciple asked in surprise: "Sect Leader, you are talking about the Senior Tan Berxiong, he should be a great figure with unparalleled martial arts skills, how could someone kill him?" Li Fei only sighed, the disciples were a little anxious, and asked again a few more times. Only then did he speak: "With Brother Tan Berxiong's martial arts, to be able to kill him in the martial arts world, is truly hard for me to imagine. However, I heard that the person who killed him was none other than the person who was extremely proud just now, and was his disciple 'White-haired Devil Child' — Gu Yuanting. " The disciples exclaimed, "What? The person from before? He … Killing your teacher? " Li Fei nodded slowly, and said: "That's right, Tan Berxiong once adopted an infant. It is said that because the baby's skin was completely pale, it terrified his own parents, and thought that he was a freak, so he abandoned him. As Tan Berxiong passed by, he couldn't bear to see this child be frozen to death by the snow outside. He took him in as a disciple and raised him as a child. When I was young, I met Brother Tan Berxiong a few times, so I could be considered as friends. It was said that his comprehension of sword arts was extremely high. When he was young, he was already able to surpass his senior apprentice-brother in terms of sword techniques. So, in the Sword Controlling Sect, other people also gave him a nickname, called 'White-haired Devil Child'. In the past, Tan Berxiong treated it as a family matter and chatted with me about it. I never expected that this White-haired Devil Child would actually be ungrateful, and actually personally killed the master who raised him and even taught him a unique skill last month. "
All of the disciples who were listening were extremely surprised, and all of them began to discuss together, "Isn't what he did no different from a beast? "How can there be such a cold-blooded person in the martial arts world?" Li Fei closed his eyes and stabilized his mind, saying, "I have also heard that during this month, he has been looking everywhere for a sect challenge with a sword. I originally thought that for a small gang like ours, he would look down on us. Even if he comes, even if I can't defeat him, I can still fight him for hundreds of rounds. Hehe, I am too confident, but I can't even take ten of his moves. I am truly ashamed. From the looks of it, as long as it is a sect that uses the sword, he will not let go. The sect disciples comforted Li Fei one after another, asking, "Sect Master, if he continues to challenge us like this, I'm afraid no one will be able to stop him, right?" Li Fei thought for a moment, shook his head, and said: "That is not necessarily true, there is always someone above the heavens, perhaps most sects will not be able to defeat him. However, if he wanted to become a sword master that all martial artists agreed to, he had to go there. And that sect's sword techniques were above Sword Controlling Sect of Shandong. I'm afraid that no matter how powerful that White-haired Devil Child is, once she goes to challenge that sect, she will not be able to win. " The disciples had all seen Gu Yuanting's amazing sword technique, and felt fear in their hearts. However, when they heard that there was another sect that could defeat him, they seemed to not believe it. They all asked, "Sect leader, that shouldn't be possible right? Exactly which school or sect has such ability." Li Fei pointed at them and said with disdain: "Martial-arts Circles of Central Plains, there are many talents. This martial arts world is huge, how would you juniors know about it? I just said, Sword Controlling Sect of Shandong's sword technique can be ranked second. There is another sect that, although I do not know if they can rank first, is definitely a sect that can match up to Sword Controlling Sect in sword arts, and that sect is Qing Xu Sect of Henan. Ten-odd years ago, the from the Qing Xu Sect, who was known as the 'Sword Soul', defeated the insufferable 'Six-Pointed Star Immortal' with his consummate sword arts. Now that his junior brother Taoist Tai Xu has inherited the position of Sect Leader, this senior's sword techniques and inner force is unfathomably profound. Even if White-haired Devil Child is able to win against his sword techniques, if Taoist Tai Xu uses all of his inner force, this Gu Yuanting will definitely not be able to win. "
What about later?
And then we'll see how it breaks down in the next round.
