In front of the mountain gate of the Heavenly Sword Villa.
"Your Majesty, please enter the inner hall and let us entertain you well. Otherwise, if the other elders blame me for not entertaining you well enough, it would be a sin.”
Yu Jiufeng said respectfully.
"Good."
Wu Mingyue nodded.
"Then I'll have to trouble Elder Yu."
The other Emissaries said politely.
Regardless of seniority, strength, or assistance to Her Majesty, the Great Elder of the Heavenly Sword Villa held a pivotal position.
Even though the Emissaries had high positions, they did not dare to be rude.
Yu Jiufeng led Wu Mingyue and the others into the Heavenly Sword Villa.
There were many handsome peaks and strange stones here, dotted with green pines and cypresses.
There were 108 mountains in the periphery, representing the 108 true disciples.
Inside, there were nine main peaks that pierced through the clouds like sharp swords.
All of them were famous elders of the Heavenly Sword Villa.
Any elder could be said to have profound swordsmanship and was famous in the martial world. They had left behind countless dazzling achievements.
Along the way, Wu Mingyue and the others saw many disciples cultivating.
They were either comprehending the way of the sword in front of the mountain wall, practicing sword techniques in the square, or sparring with each other.
All kinds of Sword Qi howled, some as sharp as lightning, some as soft as spring rain…
It was indeed a lively scene.
However, Wu Mingyue and the others were all martial arts experts, so they could tell at a glance.
Although those disciples were diligent and talented in the way of the sword, their realms were still quite low.
No matter how brilliant a sword technique was, without the support of one's cultivation realm, one would not be able to unleash the power it should have.
Wu Mingyue and the others were very clear about the reason for this situation.
This was because the Heavenly Sword Manor had lost many elite disciples when they were assisting the empress and dealing with experts from all sides.
Even the elders were injured.
It would probably take a long time to nurture the younger generation again.
"Qing Yi, when we return, allocate a sum of cultivation resources to the Heavenly Sword Villa to help them nurture their seedlings quickly.”
"At the same time, find some geniuses of the sword and recommend them to join the Heavenly Sword Villa.”
Seeing this, Wu Mingyue gave the order.
"This lowly subject obeys!"
Cyan-robed Emissary accepted the order.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your support and love for the Heavenly Sword Villa.”
First Elder Yu Jiufeng said gratefully.
"Elder Yu, there's no need to be so polite."
Back then, Wu Mingyue had seen how much help the Heavenly Sword Villa had given him.
Now, it could be considered returning the favor.
Suddenly, two young disciples caught Wu Mingyue's attention.
It was a young man and woman.
"Junior Sister, you've practiced the ? Sword Technique of Gale ? quite well.”
The young man said with a smile.
"Senior apprentice-brother, this is only a Profound Rank sword-art. It shouldn't be difficult to master it.”
" If there's a chance to cultivate our Heavenly Sword Villa's Cloudy Sky Sword Manual, that's what any sword cultivator dreams of…"
The girl sighed.
Wu Mingyue's interest was piqued when she heard the words 'Cloudsky Sword Manual.' She activated her cultivation to listen.
The youth continued,"The Cloudsky Sword Manual is the sect's treasure. It's ranked among the sacred sword techniques!"”
"Only by becoming a true disciple will you have the chance to cultivate.”
"Moreover, it's not complete. I can only cultivate a small portion.”
" Junior Sister, wait for me. I'll definitely become a true disciple in the future. When I learn the Cloudsky Sword Manual, I'll teach it to you…"
The young man's face was filled with confidence and determination.
"Shh! Silence!"
The girl's expression changed and she quickly covered the boy's mouth.
"That's the sect's sword technique. You can't teach it to anyone privately, or you'll be punished according to the sect rules!”
"The price is too high…"
"I would rather not learn it than let you suffer any harm.”
The young girl was moved.
According to the sect rules, even if it was an ordinary sword technique that was taught to outsiders, they would be severely punished.
Not to mention the sect guarding sword technique?
That was the crime of beheading!
Wu Mingyue's heart skipped a beat.
This scene was very similar to the past.
Lu Ping 'an and Wu Mingyue had also practiced swordsmanship together.
Thinking back to the past.
Lu Ping 'an smiled and said,"If you like swordsmanship, then I'll find you all kinds of supreme swordsmanship in the world."”
"But any top-notch sword technique is a secret of the major forces and sects. They won't easily spread it to outsiders," Wu Mingyue said hesitantly.”
" It's not a big problem," Lu Ping 'an said confidently." Leave it to me."”
"If there's any danger, I'd rather not have it!" Wu Mingyue said worriedly.”
Lu Ping 'an smiled casually and said nonchalantly,""There won't be any danger. Don't worry.”
Later on, Lu Ping 'an brought Wu Mingyue all kinds of sword techniques manuals.
He even took back the top sword technique of the Heavenly Sword Villa, the Cloudsky Sword Manual!
When Wu Mingyue saw Lu Ping 'an's safe and sound appearance, she thought that it would not be difficult to get those sword manuals.
It was only later that she gradually realized how precious those sword manuals were!
……
Wu Mingyue asked casually,
"Elder Yu, I heard that the Cloudy Sky Sword Manual is a secret of the Heavenly Sword Villa. What will happen if the disciples of the sect leak it?”
The few Emissaries listened attentively.
They had also suspected that Lu Ping 'an had infiltrated the Heavenly Sword Villa before.
With his ability, it was highly possible for him to become a true disciple.
After learning the [Cloudsky Sword Manual], he would then pass it on to the empress privately. This was the fastest way.
At this moment, Yu Jiufeng was stunned for a moment, but he still answered truthfully,
"According to the severity of the case, if it was only leaked within the sect, according to the sect rules, that disciple's cultivation will be crippled and then chased out of the sect!”
"If he intentionally spread it to the outside world, then my Heavenly Sword Villa will hunt him down to the ends of the earth to kill him and take back the sword manual.”
"After all, this is our sect's cornerstone sword technique. It's the foundation of our sect.”
Wu Mingyue and the others were stunned when they heard this.
Since the Cloudsky Sword Manual was so important, how did Lu Ping 'an take it away?
He even taught it to Wu Mingyue, but nothing happened?？
Could it be that he was God Thief, stealing the sword manual without anyone knowing?
Only then would the Heavenly Sword Villa be kept in the dark and not pursue the matter.
Immediately.
" Elder Yu," Lan Shuang asked anxiously," has your Heavenly Sword Villa ever lost the Cloudsky Sword Manual or had it stolen?"”
Yu Jiufeng was stunned for a moment before he burst out laughing.
"How is that possible?"
"The Cloudsky Sword Manual has always been stored in the ancestral land of the sword tomb. There are many mechanisms and there are even grand elders guarding it.”
"Even a Heaven Tier martial arts magnate would find it difficult to seize it.”
"Not to mention the theft."
Hearing this, Wu Mingyue and the others were even more confused.
If that was the case, how did Lu Ping 'an obtain the Supreme Sword Manual?!
Cyan-robed Emissary pondered for a moment and asked,""Elder Yu, what will happen if your Manor Lord leaks the sword manual?”
Yu Jiufeng's expression froze, and a strange expression appeared on his face.
"The Manor Lord has a supreme status, so he naturally has the right to decide who to pass the sword manual to.”
"But why did the manor lord spread the sword manual?”
"Isn't this harming our own interests?”
Blue Frost Emissary shook her head." Qingyi, don't forget that the position of the Villa Lord of Heavenly Sword Villa has always been vacant."”
This was a reminder that Lu Ping 'an could not possibly be the owner of the Heavenly Sword Villa.
Wu Mingyue and the others were even more confused.
The Cloudsky Sword Manual had never been stolen, so Lu Ping 'an could not possibly be the manor lord.
Then what was the truth?
It seemed to be shrouded in layers of fog.
Wu Mingyue and the others had their own thoughts. Unknowingly, they had arrived at the hall of the largest main peak.
There were some portraits hanging in this hall.
The characters on it were vivid and lifelike. Some were like immortals, some were imposing, and some were aloof and cold…
Almost all of them had one thing in common. They were either carrying swords on their backs or holding sharp swords.
There was a soaring sword qi on his body, as if it wanted to break through the painting and tear the void.
"This is the portrait of the previous masters of our Heavenly Sword Villa." Yu Jiufeng introduced with a smile.”
He gave a simple description.
The previous Manor Heads were all famous figures who had created countless shocking deeds.
If they really wanted to talk about their deeds, even three days and three nights would not be enough.
Wu Mingyue and the others glanced at the portraits one by one.
The last portrait was the strangest.
The person on it looked extremely young, and his white clothes were spotless.
A carefree smile hung on the corner of his mouth, giving off a carefree aura.
He looked very young, but his deep, starry eyes carried an indescribable sense of vicissitudes.
The strangest thing was that he didn't carry any sword with him.
He simply stood with his hands behind his back.
However, he was like a peerless divine sword that wanted to pierce through the heavens!
It seemed that this person's attainments in the sword had already reached the peak.
Man and Sword as One!
Wu Mingyue and the others felt as if lightning had struck their heads when they saw the portrait.
With a bang, his mind went blank and he was instantly stunned on the spot!!
It wasn't because the person in the portrait was too handsome and seemed to be unique.
It wasn't that the other party's Sword Dao was too brilliant.
It was because…
The person in the painting looked exactly like Lu Ping 'an!!
