Chapter 704: On the Sea of ​​Swords

Sifang Mountain is a very peculiar place. In the original drama, two major events happened here:

The first is the battle between the Zhongmiaolin coalition and the Shura Empire's demon soldiers; the second is the duel between Qiao Rulai and Xuanhu.

This is the 'enclosed area'.

It is surrounded by high mountains on all sides, the terrain in the middle is slightly lower, and there are only four entrances and exits. From a military point of view, it is a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Of course, there are flaws.

Places that are traditionally low in terrain make it easy for the enemy to climb to a higher position and gain a panoramic view of the internal situation.

This is how Xiahou Yuan lost Dingjun Mountain.

In addition, such terrain can be easily breached by the enemy using water attacks.

As long as the four exits are blocked during heavy rain, the middle part will naturally turn into a swamp.

Fortunately, there is no need to march or fight now, and there is no need to worry about these things, so Lu Ping can confidently establish the headquarters of Lunjianhai here.

After excluding the military factors, Sifang Mountain is still a very suitable place to be used as a fighting venue, so it is of course also very suitable to be the headquarters of Lunjianhai.

Three days later.

Swordsmen from the Jianghu gathered, and all the wise men from Sifang Mountain came.

Everywhere you look, you see crowds of people and a bustling atmosphere.

"Is it my illusion? It feels like Nanwulin hasn't held such a lively event for a long time..."

"The situation in the southern martial arts world is so delicate right now. Each sect is openly cleaning up its own mess, but secretly they are working on improving their own strength, preparing to make a splash the next time something big happens. Who would be in the mood to form and participate in such a situation?"

"It's only because Lu Ping returned that the various sects are willing to come out this time. If it were someone else, the number of people coming to Sifang Mountain today would probably be less than one-tenth of the number here."

Just as Lu Ping thought, his reputation in the martial arts world is still very great.

Of course, today's sword-fighting conference can attract so many people. In addition to the establishment of the "Sword-fighting Sea" and the selection of the master of the famous sword in Fenghai, there are two other reasons.

One of them is that half a month has passed since the second Suzaku Heavenly Ranking appeared in the world. Although all factions in the martial arts world have taken action, they still need an opportunity to discuss "how to deal with the future situation in the martial arts world";
As for the other one, it is because in everyone's cognition, 'Weaponry and Armor Classics' is Lu Ping's martial arts, and it ranks third on the Heavenly Ranking, and is the object that needs special attention.

"You say, Lu Ping held this 'Sword Contest' because he couldn't wait until the next Wind and Cloud Monument and wanted to compete for the 'World's No. 1 Swordsman' in advance?"

"I only remember that Lu Ping was very skilled in body movements and palm techniques, but I haven't heard that he was also very good at swordsmanship..."

"Could it be that he has learned some peerless swordsmanship in these six years?"

"Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered a rumor a few years ago. It said that Lu Ping defeated the possessed Yan Nantian in the Valley of Evil. Maybe he has learned the Divine Sword Technique..."

A few years ago, the incident of the King of Hell's Path broke out in the Valley of Evil, and ended with Lu Ping defeating Yan Nantian who was possessed by the Death Division.

Although this matter was kept secret, there is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the underworld, so some rumors still leaked out.

However, Yan Wang Ling's method of taking over another's body was so bizarre that it was hard to believe for those who had not seen it with their own eyes. So as the story spread, in the eyes of some people, the situation at that time became "Lu Ping defeated the returning Yan Nantian."

Just as the heroes were talking to each other and making various guesses, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the crowd.

"Look!"

"People from the Five Mountains and Seven Sects are here!"

Hearing the voice, the heroes shut up and turned to look towards the entrance on the southeast side of Sifang Mountain. Sure enough, they saw a large group of people coming together.

It is well known in the martial arts world that the Five Mountains and Seven Sects are all good at swordsmanship, and it has been passed down for a long time and each has its own strengths.

More than a hundred years ago, when the Suzaku Dynasty had not yet risen to power, there was no Guyue Sword Sect in the world, and the Tianjian Murong Mansion was just an unknown family.

At that time, these few schools were the most respected swordsmanship in the southern martial arts world.

Almost every sword user is proud to join the Five Mountains and Seven Sects and learn their sword techniques.

This led to the fact that if a swordsman wanted to become famous, the first thing he had to do was to challenge all the five mountains and seven sects. As long as he was recognized by these twelve sects, he would naturally become famous throughout the world.

Unfortunately, times have changed.

Over the past hundred years, many great swordsmen have emerged in the martial arts world, and each of them has been the leader for decades.

On the other hand, the Five Mountains and Seven Sects had no successors, and the sword techniques of each sect mostly remained unchanged, or had limited improvements, so that they fell behind and their fame and reputation were no longer there.

Now that the Suzaku Dynasty has fallen, the major forces in the martial arts world have been reshuffled, and Lu Ping has established the "Sword Discussion Sea" at this time. It is a good time for them to revive their sect and prove themselves to the people of the martial arts world again.

Only after the people from the Five Mountains and Seven Sects passed by did the heroes of the martial arts world resume their discussions.

"The Five Mountains and Seven Sects have been silent for a long time. Are there any powerful swordsmen among their younger generation of disciples?"

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, and then shook their heads regretfully.

"I don't know. I haven't heard of it."

At this time, someone suddenly said, "I heard that Linghu Chong of Taihua Sect is quite powerful and has received guidance from Feng Qingyang."

"Feng Qingyang's 'Nine Swords of Dugu'? That's still worth seeing."

Another person nearby said, "If you ask me, the best disciple of Taihua Sect is Gao Yanan. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also an expert in swordsmanship. She can perform the Thirteen Styles of the Wind with unparalleled grace. Even Linghu Chong is no match for her..."

As this man spoke, his cheeks flushed slightly, as if he had admired Gao Yanan, whom he mentioned, for a long time.

"Among the 'Five Mountains', only these two have some fame."

"As for the 'Seven Sects', they are much worse. I only know that Zhou Zhiruo, the last disciple of Emei Sect Leader Nun Miejue, has some abilities, but the rest are not worth mentioning."

The crowd asked in surprise: "Wudang doesn't even have outstanding disciples?"

"Most Wudang disciples have switched to learning the Tai Chi Heart Sutra, and don't seem to have put much effort into swordsmanship."

"I see……"

After the Five Mountains and Seven Sects, many famous swordsmen arrived one after another.

However, the only ones worth mentioning are the disciples of the Guyue Sect and the members of the 'Julang Gang'.

This Julang Gang is none other than the force that was reorganized by gathering the remnants of the Jinqian Gang, Tianxiahui, Wujue Temple and other gangs in the past and has continued to grow and develop over the years.

Their leader is none other than the Fire Scale Sword Master Duan Lang.

While they were talking, a large group of people suddenly came rushing in.

The leader was a middle-aged man with an elegant face and holding an iron fan. Next to him was a gorgeous nobleman smoking a hookah.

Behind the two of them were several sword masters with their own unique characteristics and a large number of well-trained sword servants.

There were about three hundred people in total, and each of them carried a sword. Some of them even had more than one sword. It was obvious that they were from a family of swordsmen.

Such a luxurious lineup immediately attracted the attention of all the heroes present.

"This is……"

"They are from the Tianjian Murong Mansion!"

"The one walking in front is Murong Ning, the current head of the Tianjian Murong Mansion. The young man smoking a water pipe next to him is Murong Shengxue, the direct descendant of the Murong Mansion."

"I have dealt with people from Murong Mansion in the past few years, so I recognize them."

Tianjian Murong Mansion?
Isn’t he the one ranked fourth on the Suzaku Heavenly Ranking?
The heroes present were suddenly moved.

I made the right decision to come to this grand event today!
