C44 A Duel Between Sects

Artificials.

Spring passed and autumn came. Time flew by, and then it was summer a year later.

Ye Zhifa recalled the last time he left the mountain. It was already a year ago when he went down the mountain to patrol.

At that time, he went down the mountain side by side with Xia Wu and Chu Qianwei. He originally thought that they would encounter some interesting things. He didn't expect that other than helping a small town kill the python spirit that was causing trouble, he didn't encounter any interesting things.

However, this was also within reason. In order to avoid the loss of a true disciple, when the Sword Palace issued this mission, they had specially divided the patrolling area according to their cultivation base. For example, disciples like Ye Zhifa, who had just entered the sect not too long ago and had a relatively low cultivation base... They had all been assigned to some safe and quiet areas, so they wouldn't encounter too many dangers.

It was said that they were going down the mountain to patrol, but in reality, it was just to let these immeasurably experienced true disciples experience the myriad of things in the world.

However, unlike their boring journey, those disciples with profound cultivation experience would be much more interesting on this trip down the mountain.

Just like Ye Zhifa knew, the strongest of their generation's Sword Palace disciples. Legend had it that the sect master who had reached the Divine Connection Realm had really taught Mu Guiren a lesson. When he had descended the mountain, he had discovered that a villager was setting up an altar to worship an evil ghost. He thought that it was the Yama Sect who was preaching here, so he slowly traced the clues. In the end, he did not find the Yama Palace's disciple, but found a hundred-year-old evil ghost.

At that time, Mu Guiren had a great battle with the evil ghost. After destroying an entire mountain, the evil ghost was finally killed by the sword.

Ye Zhifa only heard about this soul-stirring battle after he returned to the mountain. Otherwise, he would definitely find an opportunity to take a look at the battlefield and experience the aftermath of a true expert's battle.

However, after Ye Zhifa returned to the mountain, Du Lin changed his lazy look from before and earnestly urged Ye Zhifa to cultivate.

Ye Zhifa naturally did not understand this kind of change. After asking, he found out that the second year was the date of the martial competition between the Broken Flower Sword Palace and the Sun Moon Star Door.

It was mentioned before that the Broken Flower Sword Palace and the Sun Moon Star Door originated from the same sect. However, due to the competition of ideals and interests, it eventually turned into water and fire. The two factions with this kind of relationship naturally would not consider each other's friendship. This competition was only for the sake of fighting for the Lang Ya Illusion Realm in the center of the Han Lin Kingdom.

In the frozen forest in the center of the Frost Forest, there was a Langya Illusion Realm that was countless times more dangerous than the Snow Ridge Illusion Realm. There were many treasures in this illusion realm, and it had always been one of the main battlefields of the battle between the Broken Flower Sword Palace and the Sun Moon Star Door.

Later on, the upper echelons of the two sects felt that if they continued fighting like this, the casualties would be too great, and it would be detrimental to the development of the sect. They shook hands and agreed that both sides would have a martial arts competition five years before the illusionary realm opened. The victor had the right to enter the illusion next time.

However, the illusion of the Frozen Bone Forest was different from the illusion of the Snow Ridge that would open once every five years. The time of the opening of this illusion was uncertain, and it was possible from twenty to thirty years.

At this time, it was only fourteen years after the Frozen Bone illusion realm was opened the last time. The disciples guarding outside the illusion realm once again discovered that the illusion realm was stirring. It seemed like the shortest time of opening this time was twenty years.

The reason Du Lin urged Ye Zhifa to cultivate was because the Sun Moon Star Door and the Broken Flower Sword Palace adopted the same sect structure. Apart from the main peak, there were six other secondary peaks. The person who could participate in the martial arts competition was the head disciple of the seven peaks.

On other peaks, perhaps the disciples would fight for the position of the head disciple, but there was only one master and one disciple on the Fallen Goose Peak. If Ye Zhifa did not go, no one else would go.

Du Lin originally thought that the Frozen Bone Illusion Realm would only open a few years later, so he didn't put too much pressure on Ye Zhifa. But now that the battle between the two sects was imminent, he wanted Ye Zhifa to retreat unharmed in this battle. Du Lin had no choice but to put in more effort.

Therefore, in this year, besides refining his own magic power, the rest of his time was used by Du Lin to train his sword and combat skills.

The sword technique that Du Lin passed down was a bit more profound than the sword techniques of the other Spiritual Power Realms in the Sword Palace. Therefore, Ye Zhifa had the idea of biting off more than he could chew. He focused on the sword technique along the way. Under Du Lin's constant guidance and personal feeding, Ye Zhifa's sword techniques had improved greatly. Only now did he truly possess the combat strength of a Spiritual Power level expert.

However, even though Du Lin was so anxious, time still passed without mercy. He still felt that there was still a lot of room for Ye Zhifa to improve, and the day of the martial arts competition had quietly arrived.

Although Du Lin would go with Ye Zhifa, before he left, he still couldn't help but give a few more reminders.

Du Lin said, "I know the law. Although the Sun Moon Star Sect and the Sword Palace share the same bloodline, they are different from us. They have inherited many magic techniques from the Three Flowers Dao Palace. Compared to our sword techniques, our spells might be slightly more lethal. However, there are countless variations, and it is impossible to guard against them. There are also many variations such as formations, illusions, and so on. When the time comes, you must be careful when fighting with them. "

"Disciple will remember, but if Master did not take me in as a disciple, then wouldn't our Fallen Goose Peak be empty during the competition between these two sects?"

"If you are lacking people, then find a disciple from the main peak to make up for it. After all, it is seven against seven. No matter which side it is, there must not be a lack of people. If I had known earlier that the Frozen Bone Illusory Realm would open so early, I might as well have let you stay in the outer sect for two more years. It wouldn't be too late to come and recruit you after this martial arts competition is over."

Ye Zhifa was deeply moved by Du Lin's feelings, but he also had his own pride. He raised his head and said, "The reputation of the Falling Goose Peak will naturally be protected by the people of the Falling Goose Peak. Master, don't worry. Disciple will definitely not let you down!"

Upon hearing these words, Du Lin felt gratified and worried. He stretched out his hand and wanted to pat Ye Zhifa's head, but he realized that he had been in the sect for more than two years. Ye Zhifa had actually grown to his shoulder. He could not help but smile and say, "Reputation is not important. It is more important to come back safely from the martial arts arena."

"Master, will people die in this martial arts competition?"

Despite Ye Zhifa's firm will, he still couldn't help but ask this question when he thought of fighting with the true disciples of the other sects.

"The competition between the two sects was set to reduce the number of casualties. That's why there are elders from both sides watching. It's a battle of life and death." After saying that, Du Lin suddenly smiled mockingly. No one knew what he had thought of. He then said, "Except life and death, I don't care about anything else. So you have to be careful as much as you can. "

Life and death were not decided, but there was no guarantee of safety other than life and death.

If the arena was so dangerous, Ye Zhifa could only use all of his means in order to win.

While the master and disciple were still talking at the entrance of the palace, a huge flying shuttle suddenly landed outside the gate. When the small gate of the flying shuttle opened, Huangfu Xuan's annoying face was revealed.

"Junior Brother Du, it's time to go."

Hearing Huangfu Xuan calling them to gather, Ye Zhifa took a deep breath.

In the distant martial arts arena, what kind of enemies would be waiting for him?
