The Sword Test Meeting Has Begun

Any place called a villa must be on a mountain, and it must be a very famous mountain.

However, Zhujian Mountain Villa is somewhat special, because more than 10,000 years ago, their first owner directly flattened Yijian Mountain and then installed hundreds of iron smelting furnaces. After thousands of years of development, a city was formed around this villa, which is now Qingjianzhou.

Therefore, the status of Zhujian Villa in the entire Qingjian Province is actually far higher than that of the governor.

On the day of the sword test, the governor Tie Qingfeng sent thousands of elite soldiers to provide security. Although no one dared to cause trouble in the Sword Casting Villa, he still had to do enough surface work, otherwise his position as governor would be unstable.

One hundred thousand swordsmen rushed to the Sword-Forging Villa, and the square in front of the gate that was flattened with swords was more than enough to accommodate all of them.

Qiao Xiaoqiao and Gu Hanshuang were naturally among these 100,000 people, but they did not squeeze in the crowd. Instead, they had asked the coachman Wu Jiu to buy a front seat for them.

This is a pavilion standing on a high rock, overlooking the entire square, which is very convenient.

Of course, there are obviously not just one such pavilion, but many. Each pavilion has an owner, and there are people serving good wine and tea. It has become a business.

The sword test conference is a grand event for the entire Qingjian Province, and even the southern provinces and counties of the Ji Dynasty. Its significance is not only to elect a sword leader, but also to re-plan the territory of sword factions.

The entire conference was divided into three stages and two steps. The first three stages were to measure spiritual energy, identify swordsmanship, and analyze Taoism. It sounded very impressive, but in fact, it was used to eliminate the opportunists who were just making up the numbers among the 100,000 people. The number of people who could really enter the villa and participate in the last two steps was estimated to be only one or two hundred.

This time, four hot candidates emerged in the competition, and most swordsmen recognized that they were the most likely to win the sword championship. But when Qiao Xiaoqiao and Gu Hanshuang appeared, many people secretly changed their minds and even went to the market to change their bets.

It’s not because Qiao Xiaoqiao and Gu Hanshuang are beautiful, but because there are too few female sword cultivators. However, looking at all the previous sword testing conferences, whenever a female sword cultivator appeared, he would win the championship in the end.

Qiao Xiaoqiao and Gu Hanshuang didn't have so many thoughts. With their cultivation in the Dudong period, they could defeat the others even if they didn't know any swordsmanship. However, their purpose was not to do that, but to catch the evil cult members mixed in.

Zhujian Villa has been hosting this conference for thousands of years and has become very familiar with it. It is too lazy to explain the rules to everyone and simply opens the gate of the villa when the time comes.

As a result, more than 100,000 people in the square surged like a tide and rolled into the gate. However, the people in the pavilion were very calm and were not in a hurry to enter the villa.

"Sister Shuang, let's wait until there are fewer people before going in." Qiao Xiaoqiao likes the hustle and bustle, but not the noise. This meeting has no time limit, so there is no need to rush to the front.

Gu Hanshuang nodded, but her eyes were looking at the people who were walking towards them.

"My name is Xiao Tingyu." At this time, a handsome young man in green, with three friends, walked into the pavilion where Qiao Xiaoqiao and Gu Hanshuang were, and greeted them politely, "May I know your names, fairies?"

"No need for that, fairy. My last name is Qiao and hers is Gu." Qiao Xiaoqiao replied indifferently.

Xiao Tingyu bowed to them again: "I greet Fairy Qiao and Fairy Gu. Please forgive my abruptness."

The actions of these people attracted the attention of the rest of the people, who obviously wanted to see what would happen next.

"It's okay, just tell me what's the matter." Qiao Xiaoqiao was used to such situations, and her expression and demeanor were still quite polite, but the coldness in her eyes remained unchanged.

Xiao Tingyu could hear the coldness in Qiao Xiaoqiao's tone, and chuckled as he said, "I have no ill intentions, but I feel that it would be a pity for the two fairies to come all the way here and return empty-handed, so I want to help you."

"Mr. Xiao, what you said is quite sophisticated." Qiao Xiaoqiao thought it was a little funny, "You mean we are not strong enough and can't win the sword championship?"

"I didn't say that." Xiao Tingyu did mean that, but he obviously couldn't admit it. "What I said was if, just a hypothesis. The two fairies don't think that taking down the sword master is as easy as taking something out of a bag."

Qiao Xiaoqiao rarely pretends to be powerful in front of others, but she will not show weakness to others. She just said lightly: "It's about the same. It shouldn't be a difficult task."

"Hahaha, this is so funny." Xiao Tingyu just smiled without saying anything. However, a young man standing behind him with a folding fan in his hand couldn't help but raised his head and laughed.

"Is it funny?" Qiao Xiaoqiao asked calmly.

Master Yushan snorted coldly and said bluntly, "Of course it's ridiculous. Who do you think you are? Are you the living Sword God? You are just a woman. You don't stay at home to embroider and weave, take care of your husband and children, but you come out to show your face. You even want to win the sword championship. Do you really think that all men in the world are dead?"

"It's hard to say whether there are no men left in the world. At least, your mind is not worthy of the word man at all." Qiao Xiaoqiao retorted directly.

"You!" Young Master Yushan was furious. He reached out to draw the sword at his waist, but Xiao Tingyu held his hand down.

Xiao Tingyu glared at Master Yushan coldly: "Yuqing, are you deliberately trying to ruin my business?"

Mr. Yushan's face flushed red, and he was so angry that he shouted, "Didn't you hear this woman insulting me?"

"You brought this upon yourself." The red-robed swordsman at the side said bluntly.

Master Yushan said coldly: "Chimei, do you want to die too?"

"Don't embarrass yourself. Your swordsmanship is no match for mine." The red-robed swordsman waved his hand and said disdainfully, "Also, I told you before I came here that everything will be arranged by Brother Xiao, but you always interrupt. Are you trying to make trouble on purpose?"

Xiao Tingyu stared at Master Yushan and said in a cold but warning tone: "Yuqing, I don't know what you want to do, but you'd better not get in my way."

Young Master Yushan was warned by his two companions in succession. He could only snort coldly, suppress his anger, and look away.

"My two fairies, I'm sorry. My friend and I didn't mean to offend you." Xiao Tingyu bowed to Qiao Xiaoqiao and said, "I don't look down on you at all. The reason I came to disturb you is that I want to cooperate with you."

"Cooperation? This is interesting. Tell me about it." Qiao Xiaoqiao was quite interested. As a businessman, she naturally understood the benefits of cooperation. If she could do her best with the least effort, why not do it?

Gu Hanshuang couldn't help but ask her own question at this time: "Can't there be only one sword master? How can we cooperate?"

"Yes, there can only be one sword champion, and I am determined to win." Xiao Tingyu did not hide his ambition at all, and immediately explained, "But before competing for the sword champion, I still need to deal with many people and forces. If I can't make it to the end, even if I am powerful, it will be meaningless. Fairy Qiao, what do you think?"

"How do you want to cooperate?" Qiao Xiaoqiao instantly understood what this person meant. The sword-testing competition has developed into a platform for various forces to compete. It seems that the first three levels are not so easy to pass.

Seeing Qiao Xiaoqiao relax, Xiao Tingyu couldn't help but laugh: "It's not that complicated. Just look out for each other during the first three levels and don't let others plot against you."

Qiao Xiaoqiao said calmly: "What you actually mean is that we should not plot against each other."

"I can't hide it from the fairies." Xiao Tingyu didn't want to hide it anymore. "I already know who can pose a threat to us in this sword test competition, but I know nothing about the two fairies. In order to prevent unnecessary conflicts, I came to say hello in advance."

"Just say whatever you want to say. Don't beat around the bush." ​​Qiao Xiaoqiao looked at the expressions of the onlookers in the distance, shook her head, and said openly: "Whether you believe it or not, our purpose of coming here is completely different from yours, and we are not very interested in the so-called Sword Master, so don't treat us as enemies, because that will only waste your time."

After hearing what Qiao Xiaoqiao said, those people had different expressions on their faces. Some showed disdain, some showed contempt, some showed sneer... and so on.

Xiao Tingyu didn't comment on what Qiao Xiaoqiao said, but still maintained basic courtesy and said with a smile, "That's good. I'll take this as Fairy Qiao's agreement."

"It's up to you." Qiao Xiaoqiao didn't want to explain any more.

Soon, almost everyone in the square had left, leaving only the seeded players in the various pavilions.

"It's almost time, you can go in." Xiao Tingyu said to Qiao Xiaoqiao and Gu Hanshuang, "Two fairies, please come in."

Qiao Xiaoqiao and Gu Hanshuang looked at each other, stood up immediately, and flew into the gate of the Sword Casting Villa.

…

Behind the door, there was actually a huge lake.

The lake was as clear as a mirror and the water was very shallow, barely reaching a person's ankles.

However, when Qiao Xiaoqiao and Gu Hanshuang looked over, they discovered that several people had drowned in the lake.

"Is there something wrong with the water?" Qiao Xiaoqiao couldn't help but ask.

Gu Hanshuang reached out and took a handful of water in her palm, felt it for a while, and then shook her head: "It's not the water's problem."

Qiao Xiaoqiao frowned slightly, and had not yet discovered any clues about this level.

The lake is so huge that you can't see the end of it at a glance. So too is the crowd of people trapped in it. They are so densely packed, and there are all kinds of noises, scolding, cries for help... It's like a boiling pot, making your eardrums hurt.

The water in these lakes is indeed very strange. It is clear but also very sticky. Once you get stuck in it, it is basically difficult to get rid of it. Even if you use your spiritual energy to fly into the air, the water will stick to your body like a piece of cloth. Unless you bring up all the water in the lake, there is no way to get rid of it.

Some swordsmen wielded their swords, trying to cut off the water stuck on their bodies, but unfortunately the lake water would directly absorb all the damage, and the sword cutting on it was like a fist hitting cotton, completely useless.

"Sister Shuang, it looks like we are in trouble." Qiao Xiaoqiao said with a smile.
