Chapter 105: 99 Sword Intent_3
Now seven sects had joined the battlefield, leaving the remaining five sects rather passive.
The flames of war blazed on, and even if the other sects did not wish to engage in the war, they were easily affected and found it hard to keep themselves unaffected.
Three months ago, each of the seven sects had dispatched strong cultivators to the other six sects—Bright Moon Valley, Iron Heart Sect, Red Cloud Sect, Black Jade Peak, Wenjian Manor, Mo Lin Valley—intending to draw these sects into their respective camps.
Simultaneously, the great war among the seven sects continued unabated.
The whole of Qingzhou had been plunged into chaos ever since.
Lu Yi reflected inwardly that it was fortunate for him that his cultivation resources were still sufficient. He did not need to leave home for tasks to obtain any cultivation resources.
Otherwise, even with his current strength, venturing out was not particularly safe.
One day, as Lu Yi was cultivating, suddenly he heard Liu Ningshuang's voice outside his cave mansion, "Junior Brother, come out and meet me."
Lu Yi was startled, somewhat surprised. His senior sister was usually cold and rarely sought him out; why had she suddenly come?
Lu Yi exited the cave mansion and saw Liu Ningshuang standing outside, dressed in white, her peerless appearance as flawless as carved white jade.
Besides Liu Ningshuang, Lu Yi saw another woman.
This woman was dressed in simple hemp clothes, holding a white jade sword, with long sword-like eyebrows, thin red lips, a high nose bridge, and exceptionally handsome features.
A woman, yet she possessed a rare heroic air.
Lu Yi was startled and gave her a surprised glance.
This woman... Lu Yi had never seen her before at Ling Luo Peak.
Lu Yi smiled and said, "Senior Sister, what brings you here? Isn't Junior Sister with you? And who might this be?"
Typically, whenever Liu Ningshuang came over, she was accompanied by Donggong Ming Yue. This time, however, she brought another woman with her, which surprised Lu Yi.
Hearing this, Liu Ningshuang smiled lightly and said, "This is Jian Ruyu, the young master of Wenjian Manor, who has entered Divine Sword Sect and is the unparalleled genius of Divine Sword Sect. She is a good friend I made during my travels, and today Ruyu, along with the manor master of Wenjian Manor, came here because they were very curious about your sword intent, so I brought her to meet you."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yi's pupils slightly constricted, and he felt a bit shaken.
Wenjian Manor, one of the thirteen sects of Qingzhou, naturally had significant strength, and it was unexpected that their young master would join another sect.
This showed just how powerful the Divine Sword Sect must be.
However, Wenjian Manor's visit to White Cloud Sect at this time likely indicated an interest in joining the alliance with White Cloud Sect.
This was good news for White Cloud Sect.
Furthermore, since this woman was a good friend of his senior sister, it would not be proper for Lu Yi to be rude. He smiled and said, "So, you are Manor Master Jian. Lu Yi has seen the Master." Explore stories at empire
Jian Ruyu looked at Lu Yi and laughed brightly, "You are Ningshuang's junior brother, no need to be so formal. Just call me Sister Ruyu."
"Sister Ruyu."
Jian Ruyu nodded, sizing up Lu Yi, a curious light twinkling in her clear eyes as she said, "Little Brother Yi, Ningshuang has continually praised your sword talent, even Elder Ming said he is inferior to you, is it really that strong?"
Lu Yi smiled, "It's just senior sister and Elder Ming being too kind; I'm really quite ordinary!"
Jian Ruyu, eager to try, laughed and said, "I'm here with my father at White Cloud Sect mainly to meet you, I'd like to have a little competition with you!"
Lu Yi was taken aback and said somewhat oddly, "Sister Ruyu, your cultivation base has already reached the Nascent Soul stage, do you want to compete with me?"
If it were just a general Nascent Soul cultivator that would be one thing, but Jian Ruyu is a peerless genius of the Divine Sword Sect, probably not much less than his own senior sister, Lu Yi really didn't have much confidence he could beat her.
Jian Ruyu smiled and said, "Of course, we will only compare sword dao and nothing else."
Hearing this, Lu Yi raised his eyebrows and muttered to himself, "I am to compare sword dao with Jian Ruyu."
[Task]
Compare sword dao with Jian Ruyu
Reward: Enhancement of sword intent, one Sword Intent Grass.
Accept: Yes/No
Lu Yi naturally accepted.
Since Jian Ruyu could become the peerless genius of the Divine Sword Sect, her sword talent probably wasn't bad; his own sword intent was stuck at 99%, without any improvement, if he could enhance it during the sparring with Jian Ruyu, that would indeed be a good thing.
Moreover, there was also a Sword Intent Grass, which was a good item; when Lu Yi was in the Foundation Establishment stage, his master had specifically asked the Divine Sword Sect for one.
Thinking of this, Lu Yi said with a light smile, "Since Sister Ruyu has already said so, I shouldn't refuse."
His words made Jian Ruyu's eyes sparkle, and she exclaimed with a laugh, "Great! There's no better day than today, let's do it now!"
As she spoke, strands of incredibly sharp sword intent emanated from around Jian Ruyu.
This terrifying sword intent soared into the sky, as if it would tear the heavens apart and sever everything.
The thick clouds above Ling Luo Peak were sliced fragment by fragment under the assault of such sword intent.
Such a commotion naturally attracted attention.
Soon, streaks of breaking air sounded out, Wu Qingfeng and a handsome middle-aged man who bore some resemblance to Jian Ruyu came together.
Besides them, Qi Ling and several Supreme Elders followed closely.
The Nascent Soul Elders of Ling Luo Peak and numerous brothers and sisters also emerged from their retreats, all exclaiming in surprise.
"Such a powerful sword intent!"
"This sword intent... could it be Junior Brother Lu's sword intent?! So sharp, probably everything would be severed in front of this sword intent!"
"Let's go and see what's happening!"
One by one, cultivators flew toward Lu Yi's Cave Mansion.
On the other side, Elder Ming unknowingly had already appeared on top of a large tree, silent and unnoticed.
High in the sky, Wu Qingfeng, looking down at Jian Ruyu whose sword intent reached the heavens, exclaimed, "Brother Jingtian, your niece Ruyu's sword intent has reached the Transformation Stage, truly impressive."
Jian Jingtian watched his daughter below, showing a satisfied smile, yet spoke very modestly, "Brother Qingfeng flatters her, Yu'er's sword intent has been honed to such a level largely thanks to the Divine Sword Sect. After all, it is the sacred land of the sword dao."
He glanced at Lu Yi standing in front of Jian Ruyu, a flicker of curiosity in his eyes, and smiled, "That young man must be the Immortal Seed of the White Cloud Sect that Elder Ming keeps praising, Lu Yi, right? Facing such sword intent and yet remaining unfazed, truly remarkable."
Wu Qingfeng nodded slightly and chuckled, "Indeed, that's Lu Yi. It seems your niece Ruyu wants to spar sword dao with young Lu Yi? Niece Ruyu is known as a sword dao prodigy in the Divine Sword Sect, and young Lu Yi's sword intent is equally astonishing; this sparring is indeed worth looking forward to."
