Fairy, return my flying sword to me

Chapter 83 They Are the Ones to Be Afraid of (Part )
"set off!"

The leader, who looked like a middle-aged strong man, waved his hand suddenly, and the flying boat full of people slowly floated up with a slight tremor and headed towards the place where the four sects' competition was held.

The team was led by an elder, protected by three Dharma protectors, plus all the disciples who had not yet graduated and some disciples who had signed up on their own, and finally a five-member participating team, which made up all the members of the Zhengyang Sect on the flying boat.

Standing at the bow of the flying boat, sailing through the clouds and mist, it feels like you are in a fairyland.

Lin Jian and four other people followed the leading elder and listened to his teachings.

"My last name is Tong, you can call me Elder Tong. Next, I will tell you some details about the four-sect competition..."

"The venue for the four sects' competition changes every year. We only received the news two days before the actual competition."

"The location of this competition was chosen to be next to the Yunmeng Swamp. They probably want to take advantage of this poisonous miasma swamp to make a difference."

"You've probably all heard of the basic process of previous competitions: half individual competition, half team competition. However, whether it's individual or team competition, the rules may vary slightly from one competition to the next."

"We won't know the details of this fight until we're there, but..."

At this point, the elder's tone changed slightly, becoming a little strange.

"Although we in the Zhengyang Sect only receive information about the competition venue and details at the last minute, there's no guarantee that outsiders won't get the news in advance. They might make targeted arrangements. Just be aware of this and make your own decisions."

"You are all the sect's most carefully selected elite disciples. In terms of individual strength, you should all be at the top of your peers. However, you have been so focused on cultivation in the past that you may not have encountered such joint combat situations very often. However, at this critical moment, only one of you must speak."

"Let me ask you, have you chosen who will lead this competition?"

The four of them retreated in unison as if they had agreed to do so, leaving only one figure standing in front in a daze.

The elder turned around and looked at him with a strange expression, "You..."

Lin Jian looked around with a look of melancholy on his face, "I..."

"To be recognized by your fellow disciples with just the first level of Foundation Establishment cultivation, I imagine you have your own unique qualities." The elder was in charge of external affairs and rarely stayed within the sect. "Although I don't know all of your personalities and abilities, I did hear rumors about you before we set off."

Lin Jian was slightly stunned. "Have you heard my story?"

The elder said seriously, "Your face is full of stories."

He still remembered that before setting off, he had specially found him in private to pass on his skills, and specifically mentioned this disciple who was at the first level of foundation building.

"I think your character seems to be both timid and stubborn..."

Lin Jian: 'Can you tell?'

"This kind of personality is quite suitable for the competition. Facing the other three sects, you can't be too timid. You must show the integrity of a disciple of the Zhengyang Sect. But you can't be too tough either. After all, we are all allies guarding the same gap between the Heavenly Abyss and the Demonic Cleft."

"Follow the elder's decree!"

"To be honest, it seems that the chaotic times are approaching. The opponents in this year's Four Sects Competition are the strongest I have ever seen."

Sun Qinghan ruthlessly sabotaged the situation from behind, "Elder, you say this to every class of disciples."

"This time it's true."

"I said it was true last time."

"This time it's for real! Don't interrupt!" The elder waved his hand fiercely. "Your opponents are very powerful. You must be especially careful of Bai Lingshuang, Hu Feifei, Chu Zi'an, Meng Zefeng, and Han Qiaofeng from the Xianyi Sect; Yin Wuya and Ping Sinan from the Lingyun Sect... Gongshu Ye and Lei Jun from the Pingding Sect..."

"No, Elder." Lin Jian couldn't help but interrupt, "Is there anyone who doesn't need to be careful?"

"That's not the case."

"..."

"Just kidding." The elder chuckled and patted Lin Jian's shoulder. "I'm afraid you're too nervous and won't perform well. Anyway, our sect has always been committed to maintaining third place and striving for second place, and occasionally we'll try to sit in fourth place. Of course, if you can strive for first place this time, I have no objection. Let me ask you, do you have confidence?!"

Lin Jian mustered up his courage and was about to lead the charge in shouting "Yes" when the elder suddenly waved his hand to interrupt him. "Don't bother with perfunctory words. Anyway, if you really come back with fourth place, I'll break your legs." Lin Jian's eyes twitched. "Is this a joke too?"

"This is true." The elder said with a sinister smile on his face.

"Alright, get out of here. I know you're not comfortable here, and neither am I. Go do what you need to do, whether it's training or discussing. Your opponents this time are truly formidable. That Bai Lingshuang possesses Ice Soul Jade Marrow, Yin Wuya is a Hidden Assassin, and Gongshu Ye has transformed himself into a magical weapon. And we in the Zhengyang Sect have you, who is at the first level of Foundation Establishment..."

Lin Jian: "Elder..."

"I'm praising you." The elder patted Lin Jian's shoulder with his broad palm. "You are able to stand on the same stage as them with the cultivation level of the first level of foundation building. You are the one they should be afraid of."

"In short, don't be afraid of losing, do your best to win. Don't bring shame to the sect, and don't let me lose face in front of some idiots!"

The flying boat sped along at lightning speed.

Clouds rolled into a sea outside the black wooden carved railings, and golden light in the sky split the clouds.

A light purple spiritual mist floated on the long mountain ridges, and the crowns of the thousand-year-old pines swayed like green waves in the wind, occasionally startling a few sword-wielding monks, who then disappeared in the blink of an eye among the peaks steaming with Danxia.

Wherever the flying boat passes, there is wilderness that is inaccessible to mortals.

When the morning dew has disappeared, the sunset glows brightly.

The flying boat landed on a flat part of a mountain.

From a distance, three other flying boats also landed on other hilltops.

Elder Tong marked a spot in the distance and shouted, "The gathering place is still far away. Disciples, listen up! Everyone, use your own methods to rush to the target location. When you are halfway to the target point, prepare dinner and sleeping quarters for all members of the Zhengyang Sect!"

The voice, filled with true energy and passion, instantly perked up the disciples who had been sitting on the flying boat all day.

Lin Jian made a sword gesture, his face full of excitement, "It's finally time to show off my sword flying skills!"

When is a sword cultivator the most handsome?
Of course, it’s when flying with a sword!
It would be a lie to say that I wasn't envious of the scene where the Qingfeng Sword Master left the sect's arena that day. A sword cultivator should be so carefree and unrestrained!
Just as Lin Jian stepped onto the flying sword, a figure suddenly appeared from behind him.

"Who are you, big sister?"

Haruyuki smiled, looking up. "You want me to go over there?"

"..." Lin Jian held his breath for a long time and sighed helplessly, "Okay."

Bringing one more person would make sword flying even more difficult for the beginners.

Looking at the figures whizzing past him, Lin Jian felt his mouth itching after stepping on the flying sword.

"Can you fucking fly?"

"Give way to the straight-moving vehicles when turning! How did you get your sword-controlling license?"

"Boy, take off your windshield and listen to me!"

Stars and crosses all the way...

The wind blowing in my face made me feel happy, and I couldn't help but let out a long howl in the forest.

Suddenly, the forest was filled with monkeys crying, "Woo woo woo!"

"Aww!"

……

The handsome man standing at the finish line looked at the figure flying towards him carrying a bunch of things on his back and stepping on a flying sword, and asked the fiery female cultivator beside him with a look of surprise.

"You recognized such a thing as your boss?"
