Chapter 244 Are You Also a Milky Knife? 5.5K (1/2)
At this moment, the huge hall was silent.
Everyone swallowed subconsciously, looking at the beautiful woman who slowly opened her eyes with some doubt.
The ice on her body melted and produced a slowly rising ice mist, and the ice crystals made her already white skin even more beautiful.
The Sword Palace Master!
This is a woman whose life is full of legends. From the daughter of the director of a small martial arts hall, she relied on an ordinary white sword to go all the way to the end, and finally resonated with the avenue, comprehended the true meaning of swordsmanship, and founded the peerless empress of the Sword Palace!
The heartbeats of everyone accelerated uncontrollably, and they stared at the rebirth of an empress with doubtful eyes.
At the beginning, the outside world rumored that the Sword Palace Master disappeared mysteriously, and no one knew why she disappeared. But since then, the Sword Palace has slowly declined.
After that, the Sword Palace was gradually forgotten by history. People only remembered the supreme grace of the Sword Palace Master. They had heard about the prosperity of the Sword Palace, but had never seen it.
However, at this moment, they saw this Palace Master... and from this point of view, she is very likely not dead yet? !
If so, she should have sealed herself in the Sword Palace.
However, a Sword Emperor who has lived from ancient times to the present day, even if she does not seal herself, it is no problem to live for several lifetimes. Why does she want to seal herself on purpose?
This question echoed in everyone's mind, even Mu Zhian was full of surprise at this moment.
Because of the Qing Emperor in front, he actually had more or less similar speculations about the fact that the Sword Palace Master was still alive.
It is too difficult for the strong in the Hedao realm to die completely. Unless their last wisp of spiritual consciousness disappears, it is difficult to completely disappear between heaven and earth.
And from this point of view, before they arrived, the Sword Palace Master froze herself in the formation...
But the question is, why did this ice sculpture dissolve by itself after they came?
Coincidence?
Or is it that the Sword Palace Master is looking for his successor, so he just woke up from the seal?
At this moment, everyone didn't even dare to move, but just looked at the beauty at the end of the hall in doubt, fearing that if they moved a little, they would attract the other party's attention and some accidents would happen.
While everyone was doubting, the ice sculpture on the woman's body had completely melted.
She wore a dress with complex and overlapping dark patterns, and her full chest supported the fabric, revealing a touch of snow-white.
Even though the hall was a little dim, it was still difficult to hide the beautiful snow-white skin that seemed to be translucent, and under the skirt was a pair of small and exquisite cloud-climbing shoes.
At this time, someone suddenly raised his hand and clasped his fists and said: "Young Master of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, Yu Zimo, meet the senior!"
The sudden voice was particularly conspicuous in the hall, and also made the Sword Palace Master's eyes inadvertently fall on the person who spoke.
Her eyes were cold and calm. After a brief gaze, she whispered, "You have a good talent."
Her voice was full of texture, like the sound of jade being struck, with a kind of magic that calmed people's mood.
Yu Zimo's eyes were filled with joy, and he raised his hands and bowed: "Thank you, senior. In fact, I have no intention of offending the Sword Palace this time. It's just that the Sword Palace came on its own this time, so..."
When he said this, he secretly thanked himself for being smart. He spoke at this time and immediately attracted the attention of the Sword Palace Master.
The people next to him frowned secretly when they saw this. On the one hand, they secretly cursed Yu Zimo for being clever, and on the other hand, they secretly hated themselves for not taking the opportunity to speak to win the attention of the Sword Palace Master.
Seeing this, Ye Yu also frowned slightly and was about to speak.
At this time, he suddenly seemed to hear something in his heart. He was slightly stunned for a moment, and then he remained silent without making a sound.
Mu Zhian remained quiet all the time and stood aside to watch.
The old man in Ye Yu's body has a mysterious origin. If he could get the inheritance of the Sword Palace by speaking and attracting the attention of the Sword Palace Master, the old man should have reminded Ye Yu long ago.
But Ye Yu has not made any movement since just now. Does this mean that things are not that simple?
In short, we should wait and see.
In the end, he does want the treasure of the Sword Palace, but it does not mean that he has to take too much risk.
The biggest purpose of coming to the Sword Palace this time is Bai Ruoxi. As long as she is successful, his side... doesn't matter.
When Mu Zhian thought of this, the Sword Palace Master had already spoken again: "Are you all here for the inheritance of the Sword Palace?"
Because Yu Zimo spoke first, some people could not sit still at this time, and immediately clasped their fists and said: "It is said that the Sword Palace Master is unparalleled. This time, I came to the Sword Palace, firstly, I want to take a look at the Sword Palace founded by my predecessors in the past, and secondly, if I can continue to carry forward the Sword Palace's skills, it will be my honor."
After saying so much, to put it bluntly, I want the skills in the Sword Palace.
The Sword Palace Master stood silently, just raised her fingertips and pointed to the high platform beside her.
Everyone only realized now that on the high platform next to it, there was an ancient bronze sword bound by four chains, and the four chains happened to come from the four directions of the hall, which looked quite shocking.
"What you want is there, as for whether you can get it, it depends on your fate." The Sword Palace Master's cold and pleasant voice sounded.
"Ancient bronze sword!"
Almost at that moment, everyone present had a little more eagerness in their eyes, staring at the bronze ancient sword on the high platform in front of the hall, which was bound by four chains from four directions.
You know, this bronze ancient sword is the ancestral weapon of the Sword Palace Master in the past. If you can get this sword, the first place in the Ascension Conference will be easy to get? !
Yu Zimo's eyes were happy, and he immediately asked: "Can the junior go on stage to try now?"
"If you fail, the loser will be punished." The Sword Palace Master said, and there was no expression on his delicate and flawless face.
However, Yu Zimo's eyes were completely attracted by the bronze ancient sword at this time. Hearing this, he did not hesitate at all. He stepped on the ground, stretched out his hand towards the high platform, and grabbed the hilt of the sword.
Wei Mengrou's eyes moved slightly, and she couldn't help but look at Mu Zhian, as if she wanted to say something.
This ancient bronze sword is probably the third bronze fragment that Bai Ruoxi lacks. If it is taken away by someone else here...
But seeing Mu Zhian's calm eyes, Wei Mengrou finally held back what she wanted to say.
A rumbling sound suddenly came from the high platform in the distance, and everyone's eyes were attracted involuntarily.
In front of the high platform, Yu Zimo's cauldron was running wildly, and spiritual energy burst out. He grabbed the hilt of the sword bound by the chain with one hand, and then tried his best to break the chain.
But it was useless.
Yu Zimo was obviously unwilling. He gritted his teeth and held the hilt tightly, as if he was fighting against something, and let out a beast-like roar.
However, the ancient bronze sword remained motionless.
Yu Zimo's body staggered and fell off the high platform.
Bang!
Along with the sound of the body falling heavily to the ground, the voice of the Sword Palace Master also sounded without emotion: "Is there anyone else who wants to try?"
"Wait... I haven't given up yet!"
At this time, Yu Zimo immediately raised his head and looked at the Sword Palace Master. Although he was in a mess, his eyes were full of dissatisfaction.
"You have no causal relationship with the sword, and you can't pull out the sword." The Sword Palace Master replied coldly.
Yu Zimo stared at this stunning beauty, his eyes flickered slightly, and said: "You are not the real Sword Palace Master, right?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone below was moved.
Is Yu Zimo crazy because he can't pull out the bronze sword? How dare he say such questioning words to the Sword Palace Master?
"You are just a remnant soul, and it's not the remnant soul of the Sword Palace Master!" Yu Zimo loudly told the truth.
He has a very special physique. From the moment he approached the Sword Palace Master, he realized that this woman was not the real Sword Palace Master!
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Yu Zimo's eyes, and he threw a long, sharp needle from his sleeve at the woman in front of him.
Is this person crazy... Mu Zhian's eyelids twitched slightly, but there was a look of doubt in his eyes.
The breath of the Sword Palace Master in front of him was indeed very erratic, but he, a natural spirit, was still not sure that she was not the Sword Palace Master. How did Yu Zimo judge it?
And... even if she was not the Sword Palace Master, it would be too abrupt to attack rashly.
When Mu Zhian's mind was flashing, on the other side, the Sword Palace Master had slightly sidestepped to avoid the sharp needle.
Then, under the eyes of everyone, a faint white light quietly lit up in her plump chest.
From the white light, a bronze sword that looked extremely ancient appeared in everyone's field of vision.
The appearance of this bronze sword is exactly the same as the bound bronze sword in front of the high platform!
"Two bronze swords?" Mu Zhian's eyes were filled with surprise.
How could it be possible...?
While Mu Zhian was thinking about this, the Sword Palace Master had already swung the bronze sword in her hand forward.
She was clearly in front of Yu Zimo the previous second, but the next moment, she had already appeared behind everyone.
Then, the bronze sword in the Sword Palace Master's hand turned into a light spot and drifted away.
Boom!
There was a loud bang, and no one even saw the Sword Palace Master's sword, but an astonishing sound broke out in front of Yu Zimo.
Then, Yu Zimo's figure disappeared from everyone's sight.
Mu Zhian's scalp numbed.
This woman is really weird!
In the hall, the remaining monks subconsciously took a half step back, and at this moment they all wanted to retreat.
The Sword Palace Master turned his head expressionlessly and looked at the people behind him, and slowly said: "Who is the next one?"
After this, no one answered.
With Yu Zimo as a lesson, everyone was undoubtedly much calmer than before.
This time, no one was willing to be the first to speak out.
The Sword Palace Master looked at everyone and slowly said, "If no one responds, it will be considered as a total waiver and will be punished by heaven."
At the end, her emotionless eyes were a little cold, as if they were an emotionless machine.
"Let's start with you." Her eyes fell on the second monk who had just spoken.
The monk seemed to have sensed some danger and subconsciously took a half step back.
Then, he suddenly pointed in the direction of Mu Zhian and said, "The strongest among us is next to him. If we want to test him, we should start with the strongest one!"
The eyes of everyone were immediately focused on Mu Zhian.
To be precise, it should be the yellow-skirted maid next to Mu Zhian.
The Sword Palace Master's eyes also fell on Wei Mengrou. After a brief gaze, an ancient bronze sword slowly emerged from her chest.
Boom!
The monk who just spoke didn't even have time to dodge, and he heard a scream, and then his figure disappeared in the hall.
The Sword Palace Master didn't even look at the second monk, his eyes fell on Wei Mengrou.
"It's your turn."
This time, no one gloated over the misfortune, everyone frowned tightly, and their minds were working faster.
There is no doubt that this ‘Sword Palace Master’ in front of them is definitely problematic. If they fail her test, they will be punished... and they don’t know the price of this punishment, whether they will be expelled from the Sword Palace or directly killed... In this situation, these proud sons of heaven have already retreated.
“Or do you also give up the test?” The Sword Palace Master asked again.
Before Wei Mengrou could speak, Mu Zhian stared at the ancient bronze sword in the air and suddenly said: “Senior, before accepting the test, can we know why you woke up from the seal?”
The woman glanced at him indifferently and said calmly: “Some of you have a cause and effect with this ancient bronze sword, so you can pull out the bronze sword that is bound in it.”
Her voice was extremely calm, as if she was telling a fact, but because of the scene that just happened in front of everyone, they all didn’t believe what the woman said.
However, there was a little more thoughtfulness in Mu Zhian’s eyes.
If this woman is not lying, then the one who can pull out the sword should be someone who has a causal relationship with the bronze fragment.
Except for Bai Ruoxi who may be receiving the inheritance, the only people present who have a causal relationship with the bronze fragment are him and Ye Yu.
If you have to say, Mu Zhian is the only person present who has a causal relationship with the bronze sword.
"Let me try." Mu Zhian said.
Rather than letting Wei Mengrou take this risk, it is safer for him to do it.
After all, even if he fails, he still has the words left by Lin Ling on his body, and this remnant soul that is suspected to be left by the Sword Palace Master cannot directly kill him with the first blow.
The Sword Palace Master did not stop him, but just stepped back half a step, giving Mu Zhian space to go on stage.
Several cultivators on the side looked at Mu Zhian involuntarily, and everyone's eyes were filled with some complicated emotions.
They didn't want Mu Zhian to pull out the sword, but they also hoped that he could pull out the bronze ancient sword. After all, only in this way can the assessment be considered over.
But if Mu Zhian really pulled out the ancient bronze sword, wouldn't it become Mu Zhian's?
With such a complicated mood, everyone's eyes were fixed on the young man flying to the high platform.
Wei Mengrou subconsciously clenched her fist hidden in her sleeves, staring at Mu Zhian. If he failed to pull out the sword, she would take action immediately and send Mu Zhian out of the hall at all costs.
Ye Yu also stared at this scene and sneered secretly.
Idiot.
The teacher just told him that the woman in the hall was not the real master of the Sword Palace, but another self she had killed in the past. It would be fine if Mu Zhian pulled out the sword, but if he couldn't pull it out... then he would be ready to die.
As if he noticed Wei Mengrou's worried look, Mu Zhian turned around and gave her a reassuring smile.
Then, his eyes fell on the ancient bronze sword bound by the chain in front of him.
After a brief clue, Mu Zhian's eyes quickly became more solemn.
This chain is actually a formation.
And this formation came from all directions of the hall, just bound the bronze sword in it. As long as the seals on the four sides of the hall are not unlocked at the same time, the bronze sword cannot be pulled out.
No wonder Yu Zimo failed just now.
But...
Mu Zhian felt that he could pull it out.
Because from the moment he approached the platform just now, he felt that the bronze sword seemed to be calling him.
That should be the spirit of the bronze sword.
As for the reason... It's probably because Mu Zhian often nourished Bai Ruoxi day and night in the past, so the spirit of the bronze sword also has a good impression of Mu Zhian.
Mu Zhian took a shallow breath and exhaled slowly.
Then, one hand grabbed the hilt of the bronze sword.
Hualala...
The ancient bronze sword that had been silent all this time suddenly reacted, and its sword body began to vibrate slightly, causing the chains at the four corners of the hall to make a heavy sound of iron chains.
The Sword Palace Master's eyes moved slightly, and for the first time there was a hint of surprise in his cold eyes, staring at the young man on the high platform.
At this moment, several eyes were staring at Mu Zhian, not wanting him to pull out the bronze sword, but hoping that he could pull it out.
And in such a complicated human heart, the cauldron in Mu Zhian's body quietly operated, and spiritual energy slowly emanated.
He grasped the hilt tightly, as if he wanted to release the bronze sword that was tightly bound by the chains from the seal, and it was like pulling a sword out of a rusty scabbard.
Finally, the motionless hilt seemed to be pulled back a little, and it was accompanied by an extremely unpleasant sound like fingernails scratching glass.
"He pulled the sword out a little!" A monk in the audience saw the clue and whispered in disbelief.
With another slightly harsh sound, the bronze sword was pulled out a little from the chain, revealing a hint of its sharpness.
The Sword Palace Master's eyes flickered slightly, and his eyes were fixed on this scene.
Mu Zhian took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Then he closed his eyes tightly and concentrated his spiritual energy on his whole body. At this moment, it seemed that there was only this ancient bronze sword in his world, and nothing else.
There is no doubt that the ancient bronze sword in front of him is the third bronze fragment, so it reacted to him.
He can indeed pull out this sword.
It just needs to be well prepared and do it in one go... It is not impossible to completely release it.
After a short period of preparation, Mu Zhian grasped the hilt of the bronze sword, took a deep breath, and the spiritual energy in his body burst out.
Clang!
Most of the bronze sword appeared in everyone's sight.
Boom!
The whole hall was shaking violently at this moment. Mu Zhian did not hesitate at all, and freed the ancient bronze sword from the shackles of the chains in one go!
The sharp edge of the ancient bronze sword was revealed for the first time, cutting off the chains on all sides.
Then, it turned into a broken fragment and flew out, quickly attacking a cave, and drilled into the chest of Bai Ruoxi who was receiving the inheritance of the Sword Palace in the cave.
The three bronze fragments were pieced together to form a complete bronze sword pattern, and a faint white light emanated from Bai Ruoxi's chest.
From the white light, an ancient bronze sword silently emerged from Bai Ruoxi's vulgar breasts in the field of vision.
Then, Bai Ruoxi… no, it should be said that the real Sword Palace Master slowly opened his eyes and stared at the direction where Mu Zhian was.
“Are you finally here?”
There was a hint of relief in her tone.
