My wife is a practitioner, I am invincible when I lie down

"Sacrificial Sword Ceremony? Who is it being sacrificed to?"

Zhao Mu asked curiously.

Elder Fatumen gazed at the canyon below and said, "The Sacred Sword Sacrifice, as the name suggests, is a sacrifice to a divine sword. That was the divine sword [Holy Yellow Spring] used by the human race's Xuanyuan Wushi to slay the demon race's foremost general, Black Mountain Lord. This Yellow Spring Canyon was carved out by the Holy Yellow Spring's sword energy. After that battle, the Holy Yellow Spring was left in ruins and buried here by Emperor Xuanyuan. Later generations came here to worship, and gradually formed a huge tribe. This is the origin of our Turan tribe."

It turns out that the sacrifice was to the divine sword of Emperor Xuanyuan.

Holy Yellow Spring... why does this name sound a bit childish?

However, since it was the divine sword used to worship Emperor Xuanyuan, Zhao Mu was really interested in it. And since all the powerful men from the Western Regions were there, Zhao Mu felt that it was necessary for him to show up.

After all, the Southern Region is now completely controlled by the Zhao family, and Zhongzhou will sooner or later fall into the hands of the Zhao family. The Zhao family will definitely not let go of the other three regions. It is very necessary to spread the reputation of the Zhao family in advance.

"Then I'll have to trouble you to lead the way."

"Come with me."

Fatumen rode the Black Fire Eagle and flew north.

Zhao Mu pulled Ji Zi to stand on the purple gold gourd and followed slowly.

Ji Zi tugged at Zhao Mu's sleeve and whispered, "You came here to find the entrance to the abyss, why are you suddenly off to attend some kind of festival?"

"This canyon is too big to be easy to find. Since the Turan tribe has lived here for generations, perhaps they know some information. We can go and ask around. If we're lucky, we can actually save a lot of time."

Ji Zi thought so too and didn't ask any more questions.

About half an hour later, Zhao Mu and the others followed Fatumen to the Turan tribe.

The Turan tribe is very large and is located on a vast pristine grassland. The center of the tribe is a huge and retro city. The buildings inside are very large and old. The architectural style has a Stone Age feel, showing a wild and primitive style, but it does not appear backward. The teleportation arrays and mechanism formations that can be seen everywhere show that the level of martial arts here is not weak.

Zhao Mu casually sensed it and found that a large number of Saint Emperor realm powerhouses gathered in this ancient city.

Of course, these are not all people from the Turan tribe. There are also powerful people from other imperial clans in the Western Regions who came to participate in the Sword Sacrifice Ceremony.

After entering the city, Fatumen asked Xuanhuoying to guard outside the city, and he entered the city with Zhao Mu and the others, stepping on a long sword with an ancient shape.

"This is the main city of our Turan tribe, called the Land of Hidden Swords. Ever since Emperor Xuanyuan buried the Holy Yellow Spring here, sword masters across the Holy Xuan Continent have followed suit, burying their broken flying swords and divine weapons here. In the center of the Land of Hidden Swords, there's a massive sword tomb containing countless flying swords. It's also where the Sacred Sword Ceremony is held..."

"Look, it's right in front. There are already a lot of people gathered around. They are participating in the Kenshin Challenge. I wonder who will stand out this year."

Zhao Mu asked, "What is the Sword Heart Challenge?"

"The Sword Tomb contains countless swords, and over time, it has formed a special sword energy barrier that will indiscriminately attack intruders. Only sword masters who have mastered the sword's will are capable of entering it. The so-called Sword Heart Challenge is a competition to see who can penetrate the depths of the Sword Tomb. The farther one goes into the Sword Tomb, the purer and more powerful their sword will is."

When Zhao Mu heard this, he immediately became very interested.

Although he is not a sword genius, how can he be absent from such a limelight event?

Seeing Zhao Mu's eager expression, Ji Zi helplessly held her forehead with her hand.

Men, if they don't pretend to be cool for a moment, they will die.

What's more, Zhao Mu has just turned twenty years old, and is in the prime of his youth and vigor.

"Great Elder, why did you just come back? The Sword Heart Challenge has already begun. Brother Rui has already passed the Seventeen Swords mark and is almost breaking the historical record. Come and take a look."

At this time, a pretty girl came riding on a sword and appeared in front of Zhao Mu.

After she finished speaking, she noticed that there were two strangers beside Great Elder Fatumen. She couldn't help but show curiosity: "Great Elder, these two people don't look like locals judging by their clothes and temperament. Who are they?"

"These two are Young Master Zhao Mu and his newlywed wife from the Southern Territory Imperial Clan. We happened to meet them on the road, so we brought them here to see the Sacred Sword Sacrifice Ceremony."

The girl's eyes rolled, and she guessed that the guests who could be personally received by the Great Elder must be no ordinary people. She immediately narrowed her eyes and revealed a playful and lovely smile. She stepped forward and greeted them, "Hello, two distinguished guests who have come from afar. My name is Fatuna, and I am the chief of the Turan tribe. I am very happy to meet you."

"Are you the tribal leader?"

Zhao Mu was slightly surprised.

This girl seems to have only the Saint Emperor realm. Although she is considered a top-level genius considering her age, she is not qualified to be the leader of the tribe.

Could it be that she is the only daughter of the old chief, and after the old chief died unexpectedly, she inherited the position of chief in advance?

Ji Zi obviously had the same idea, and her eyes softened when she looked at Fatuna.

This was also how she inherited the throne of the Empress of the Divine Phoenix Empire at such an early age.

Fatuna smiled a bit embarrassedly. "I just became the tribal leader this year too. Actually, after my father passed away, my brother Faturi was supposed to inherit the position of leader. But he was devoted to the pursuit of swordsmanship. After serving as leader for a few years, he felt that there were too many things to do and it prevented him from focusing on cultivation. So he passed the position to me. I have a special physique, so I don't need to spend too much time on cultivation, so I have more free time to deal with tribal affairs."

Sure enough.

Ji Zi looked at Fatuna with a more affectionate look, and couldn't help but step forward and hold Fatuna's hand. "You are really great, sister. You can shoulder the responsibility of the entire tribe by yourself. I admire you very much. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just tell me and I will do my best to help you."

As he spoke, Ji Zi took out a video mirror and handed it to Fatuna.

Fatuna was startled by Ji Zi's sudden enthusiasm, but after feeling the sincerity in Ji Zi's eyes, she let down her guard.

"Sister is such a nice person, beautiful and kind-hearted. It would be great if I could become friends with her."

"Of course, we are good friends from now on. Let's go and watch Kenshin's challenge. That brother Rui should be your brother, right? Let's go and cheer him on." Ji Zi took Fatuna's hand and flew towards the sword tomb.

Zhao Mu was stunned.

No, does the friendship between you women come so suddenly?

Even if we share the same suffering, we shouldn't become familiar with each other so quickly.
