“What?” A few disciples of the Sword Garret who were in charge of registration were still confused when they heard this. Then, they looked up and found that the mechanism on the Shu Road had been activated.
… It’s opened??
“Guigui, is someone challenging the formation?!”
The disciples of the Sword Pavilion were so shocked that they could even speak the Shu dialect. They looked at the figure on the nk road who had already started to move forward, and suddenly panicked.
“Q-quick… Get someone to check on that person’s condition.”
Wang Rong, a 4-star swordsman from the Sword Pavilion, was sent here today to help the City of Ten Thousand Swords register for the Singing Sword Meet. However, he did not expect things to turn out this way. Apart from the disciples from the Sword Pavilion, there were very few outsiders who dared to take the Shu Road.
It was not a joke that Shu Road was difficult. In addition to its own precipitousness, there were also various mechanisms and arrays arranged by the Sword Pavilion. The Sword Pavilion was left for their own disciples to study Sword Intent and arrays. It was very targeted, and ordinary people could not cope with it.
Although the Shu Road was indeed open to the public, in most cases, there was a chiseled mountain road to enter the Sword Pavilion. It was fast and safe, and there were disciples of the Sword Pavilion to receive them.
Who would go to such a dangerous route?
Why was there someone mocking him today? if something happened during the challenge, it would greatly damage the reputation of the Sword Pavilion. After all, it was during the period of the grand event, and everyone hade to the City of Ten Thousand Swords in high spirits. Now, it seemed that someone was about to die on the Shu Road because of the challenge.
Even if it was just a joke, he still felt ufortable.
Wang Rong’s forehead was covered in cold sweat as he said to the side, “Pull him down. Where are the traps and arrays? Can you tell people to turn them off?”
The other disciples replied, “I’ve already sent someone to find the elder, but it will take some time. Themunication talismans…”
Suddenly, a faint scream came from above. It was the kind of scream made by people who were afraid of heights. The disciples of the Sword Pavilion who had been on high ground all year round were very familiar with this.
“W-w-what? hurry up and get him down first! Didn’t you hear that he might die?!”
Wang Rong’s eyes were wide open. Seeing those disciples looking at each other hesitantly, he said with difficulty, “Manager Wang, if everyone could go up the Shu Road, we wouldn’t have to inform the elders like now.”
“No, that scream wasn’t….”
“Have some guts, man! You’re a disciple of the Sword Pavilion!” He was angry and immediately reached out to summon a flying sword, preparing to go up personally.
“Damn it, I finally found an idle job, why did something like this suddenly happen?”
Wang Rong felt sad for his contribution points. The crowd around him was in an uproar because the disciples of the Sword Pavilion suddenly stopped the registration. Then, they noticed the movement on the Shu Road.
F*ck, if this goes on, things will get out of control and get worse!
Wang Rong looked at those young disciples with anger, “What are you guys still standing there for? You’re done with the notice? Hurry up and calm down the participants, don’t let them escte the situation, understand?”
The disciples of the Sword Pavilion looked at him in a daze.
“Did you guys hear what I said?!” Wang Rong was so angry that he almost took out his flying sword and knocked on the heads of these stupid people.
“Y-Yes, Manager Wang, but…”
“But what?”
“He seems to be over 50 feet into the pathway…”
“What 50 feet? Horsesh*t! If he can get 50 pounds, I’ll eat some steamed buns on the spot,” Wang Rong cursed. Before he finished his words, he was suddenly stunned.
He said incredulously, “50?!”
He turned his head back abruptly. The disciple was still hesitating, not knowing what to do. “No, that’s not right. Why does it seem like he’s already above 100 feet…”
Wang Rong looked up in a daze. Just a moment ago, the figure who had just climbed up the nk road had already agilely avoided all the traps and spell formations and reached the top of the 100-feet cliff when they were frantically preparing to find the elders, stop the traps, and appease the crowd.
That was the most dangerous ce in the entire Shu Road. It was a right-angle turn. When the nk road turned, there was nothing in front. One had to change the direction of their body movement in an instant and find a life gate of the formation. Otherwise, if they could not react in time, they would immediately fall down.
Although he would not die from falling into the White Dragon River, he would inevitably be seriously injured. He might not even be able to cultivate for the rest of his life.
Everyone held their breath and watched nervously as the tiny figure turned the corner at the edge of the cliff. With a few changes in his body technique, he climbed the cliff and crossed it without any pause.
He immediately slipped over.
The disciples of the Sword Pavilion, who were deeply aware of the horror of Shu Road, werepletely dumbfounded. They looked at the screen in a daze, and some of the registered Immortal cultivators also reacted.
A climb of over 150 feet on the Shu Road, how long did this person take?
Was it half a cup of tea?
Probably… not even that long?
“…”
The scene was very quiet. The clicking sounds of the mechanism had stopped, and Liu Yuan’s figure had disappeared into the clouds. The tform that was shrouded in the clouds was quiet.
Whoosh!
Some stones fell into the White Dragon River.
“It’s so easy to pass through Shu Road…?” a disciple of the Sword Pavilion could not help but ask.
“Easy, my ass! I tried it the year beforest, and after only 50 feet, I was forced down by the Hexagonal Sword Formation. If it was so easy, how could there be only a few true disciples who passed it in so many years?”
When Wang Rong recalled the scene of him being scared witless by the sword formation, he felt embarrassed.
If he had not been so scared that he had given up, he would not have been idle now.
The internal department of the sword Pavilion had always valued the Shu Road trials for their courage…
A swordsmith had a better understanding of the sword itself than the swordsman. They understood the Sword Intent and Sword Soul. What they focused on was the courage to press forward. Without this courage, they would not be able to forge a sharp sword.
The founder of the Sword Pavilion had left behind a poem when he first established the Sword Pavilion. It was still written on the giant sword in the Singing Sword tform as the pavilion motto. It was: ‘The killing intent from the heaven and earth, assist me in my path of the sword. A song of blood, a song of steel. It shall not disappoint the will of dragons and snakes’.
It was clear that swordsmiths also had a murderous aura.
“You’re the person in charge of registration at the Sword Pavilion?” A melodious female voice suddenly rang out. Wang Rong turned around and saw a female Daoist wearing a Jade Mirage Sect robe.
He immediately coughed a few times to calm himself down. He cupped his hands and said, “Yes, I’m Wang Rong, and I’m in charge of the registration for this grand event.”
“The one who went up just now was my friend. He brought a mortal swordsmithing master to the Sword Pavilion to participate in the Tideviewing and Sword-listening conference, so they went to the Shu Road.” Ling Yu’s tone was a little hesitant and confused because she had never expected this at all, whether it was the beginning or the end.
Even now, she was still in a state of hallucination.
Wang Rong first expressed his understanding and nodded with a smile. “Since it’s the Daoist Friend of Jade Mirage Sect who asked, naturally, I… Wait, did you f*ckign say that he brought a mortal with him?!”
“Yeah… That seems… to be the case,” Ling Yu said hesitantly.
Wang Rong felt like he was about to faint.
