Chapter 195 The Ancient Sword is Obtained
Jian Zun was slightly stunned and pondered for a moment. He waved his hand and a stream of light shot out from a small house. It "whoosh" and landed on the grass next to Jian Zun's wheelchair, swaying gently from side to side.
The Sword Master gently picked up the ancient sword that had accompanied him throughout his life, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.
"This sword has been with me all my life, and was meant to be passed down to my successor," he said calmly.
"But you don't have much time left, right? And you still haven't chosen a successor among your three disciples.
You should know that if you decide on a successor early, even if someone is dissatisfied, you can easily resolve the issue while your influence is still there. If you hastily choose someone before you die, who can control them if someone is dissatisfied? It is possible that brothers will turn against each other."
Lord Sword Master remained silent.
"But I dare to guess that your three disciples are not equally matched in all aspects, which makes it difficult for you to choose, but that none of them can follow your will and continue to defend Tianfeng Country as their responsibility."
Lord Sword Master looked at Xu Feng with some surprise, and there seemed to be deep meaning in his eyes.
“This is not difficult to guess. Strong people like you who are willing to stand up for ordinary people and devote their entire lives to this are extremely rare.
Your three disciples clearly have impressive abilities. Each of them can become a leader and prosper in their own right, whether they join a family or power, or create their own sect or family. Power, wealth, and fame are all within their reach, but you just want them to give up all of this, just to spend their lives protecting peace like you do.
Lord Sword Master, you had a brilliant first half of your life, and then you could see through everything and live in seclusion, but your three disciples did not have a wonderful life of their own.
Of course, the reason why you keep them by your side is to facilitate your attentive teaching, but also because you are worried that if they are out and about and are inexperienced in the world, some people might approach them to inquire about you and seek benefits for themselves.
But I think you should have figured out the disadvantages of doing so. If you are alive, they can still follow your wishes, but once you are gone, I am afraid..."
The harder you suppress it, the more violently it will rebound, just like a spring. These three people have lived in Sun Moon Villa for decades, and they are probably already fascinated by the outside world and eager to make achievements.
As for the master's wish, it is estimated that he will not take it seriously. An outlier like Master Jianzun is rare, and it is not easy to pass on by simple words and deeds.
Lord Sword Master remained silent, as if something had hit the nail on the head.
"Give the ancient sword to me, so that your three disciples won't have to fight for it. And since I have obtained your ancient sword, your will will also be passed on by me. You don't have to worry about Tianfeng Country. As long as I am still alive, I will never allow those evil people outside to break in and do evil." Xu Feng promised.
"Can you stop those people?" Lord Sword Master looked at him with sharp eyes.
"I have said that I have received your kindness. Tianfeng Country is a relatively peaceful place. It will also be where I will settle down in the future. I naturally don't want it to fall into dire straits."
The descendants of the evil cultivators who were once expelled, those evil-minded people who thought that Tianfeng was a piece of fat meat, would invade Tianfeng in a big way once Lord Jianzun passed away. At that time, the situation of Tianfeng would be more cruel than that of other countries in a short period of time, and countless ordinary people would die in the turmoil.
Lord Jianzun stared at Xu Feng for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "In that case, you can take it."
Upon hearing this, Xu Feng stepped forward and respectfully took the ancient sword from the other party.
"Thank you, Lord Sword Master, for giving up my kindness. Now, I will take my leave." Xu Feng bowed without any hesitation.
Lord Sword Master nodded slightly.
"What will you do if I refuse?" When Xu Feng was about to walk out of the courtyard, the words of Lord Sword Master suddenly came from behind.
"You didn't refuse, did you?" Xu Feng turned his head and smiled slightly.
How could Xu Feng not have a drastic impact on his character after suffering inhuman torture in Medicine King Valley? Moreover, he was accompanied by two beloved disciples who were carriers of resentment day and night. Perhaps he would not notice it now, but over time, under the subtle influence, Xu Feng's mentality would eventually undergo a horrible change.
Lord Jianzun did not speak. Xu Feng glanced at the old man's weathered face, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "You should know that Medicine King Valley has been destroyed, right?"
After saying that, without waiting for the other party to answer, he walked out of the courtyard on his own. After a few breaths, the old man in the courtyard behind him suddenly burst into a hearty laugh, and the sound spread throughout the Sun Moon Villa, full of hearty laughter.
As expected, this Lord Sword Master was extremely hostile towards the Holy Gate.
Xu Feng's sudden words naturally revealed that he was involved in this incident. Even without Xu Feng's promise to protect Tianfeng Country, Lord Jian Zun was completely willing to give his old friend to someone who was related to the destruction of the Holy Gate.
……
On the other side, when Xu Feng entered the inner courtyard, Jian Yi and Dao Er waited outside as instructed. Not long after, the middle-aged man who led Xu Feng in came out and joined his fellow apprentices. Like the two of them, he quietly waited for the result of the meeting not far away, while also secretly monitoring and sizing up the two of them.
"Did you find it?" Jian Yi suddenly said to Dao Er.
"What?" Dao Er was stunned.
"This Master Sword Master is the same as Master." Jian Yi glanced at the three people not far away. "He also accepted three disciples, also two men and one woman."
Dao Er was speechless for a while.
Xu Feng did not delay inside for long. Soon, the five people waiting outside heard the old man in the inner courtyard burst into hearty laughter. Then, Xu Feng's figure appeared.
"We got the stuff, let's go!" Xu Feng held the ancient sword in his hand and walked without stopping. Sword One and Dao Two quickly followed.
"Wait! That's my master's sword, why is it in your hand?" Seeing this, the eldest disciple of Lord Sword Master hurried forward and tried to stop it.
No matter how calm and experienced he was, he couldn't remain calm at this moment. As the eldest senior brother, he was the strongest and most experienced, and he was most likely to inherit his master's legacy in the near future. He had already considered his master's iconic ancient sword as something in his pocket.
Not to mention the power of the ancient sword itself, just the fact that my master wielded this sword to conquer the world and gain a great reputation, if I inherit this sword in the future, I will be the orthodox sword master. Who dares not to respect me when I travel the world in the future? Who dares not to give me some face?
However, Xu Feng did not even turn his head, only a voice came: "This sword has become mine, and the three of you do not need to fight with each other, so as not to hurt feelings."
The three of them were not willing to agree. The master had not yet appointed a successor, and the three of them thought that they had a good chance. Now that the most important inheritance had fallen into the hands of others, they were not willing to accept it.
Seeing the three people chasing after him, Dao Er turned around and waved his sleeves at the three people, and the three people flew back as if they were hit hard. Fortunately, Dao Er did not take it seriously, and although the three people fell to the ground in a mess, they were not injured.
Xu Feng was in a good mood. He walked out of the villa, but did not go down the mountain path. Instead, he came to the cliff on the top of the mountain, looked at the ancient sword in his hand, then grinned, exerted force with his feet, jumped up, and the whole person shot out like an arrow.
After reaching the upper third level, one can rely on the spiritual power in the body to fly for a short period of time. The higher the realm, the longer the flying time. Xu Feng was very greedy for this feeling of freedom, as if he had gotten rid of all the constraints in the world and was flying between heaven and earth like a bird.
Jian Yi and Dao Er looked at each other, raised their eyebrows, and jumped down as well.
……
Ten days later, Xu Feng finished refining the ancient sword and breathed a long sigh of relief.
With two disciples protecting him, he had no need to worry about his safety. In front of them, he didn't need to hide anything. The secret of the medicine had already been revealed, and it was harmless for the intoxicating scent to leak out.
This ancient sword, stained with the blood of countless warriors, lost all its spirituality. Just like the spiritual objects refined by Xu Feng before, the sword body cracked inch by inch, as if it would shatter at the slightest touch.
After all, it belonged to the Lord Sword Master. Xu Feng couldn't bear to discard it casually like the other spiritual objects before. He dug a hole and carefully buried the ancient sword, which could break into countless pieces at any time.
"Let's go to the next location."
