Even after a year, Zhou Jie and the other three still had not come back. Although she was still young, and based on his age, it was normal for his to have three to four times the needs of a Sword Soul to be hunted according to his strength, and now, even Zhang Shuai had only been in Qian Jue's hands for less than three moves. It made Zhang Shuai and the others feel that their years of cultivation had been given to a dog, but after thinking about how they were both this old man's direct disciples, Lee Xun also accepted the request.
Lee Xun and Qin Qing had yet to fully adapt to their own abilities. Lee Xun had once suggested that they fight against Baili Feng, wanting to quickly adapt to the situation through continuous battles, but the difference between the two was too big, and Lee Xun was simply unable to handle three moves against Baili Feng. He had to look for Little Qing and test her, and could only say that his increase in level was too outrageous. Xiyin and Little Fire Fox were also still in closed door cultivation. The strength of the eighteen disciples of the Heavenly Academy had increased quite quickly, and the lowest was at the middle of the eighth step, while the highest was at the peak of the ninth step. In other words, if they were to break through again, they would basically reach the standard of a Tianshan Sword Sect Rain Elder.
One day, Ouyang Qingfeng sent someone to invite Lee Xun. Lee Xun knew that it was definitely not a good thing, but he had no choice but to go.
Seeing Lee Xun, Ouyang Qingfeng also shook his head and laughed bitterly. He could feel that Lee Xun's current mental state seemed to be a little stronger than his own, but of course, he had already heard it from Baili Hong a long time ago. When he thought about how he was going to let Lee Xun be his successor two years ago, he could only give up on this idea. Lee Xun, you're here. Come, come, come, there's something I need to discuss with you. ”
Seeing Ouyang Qingfeng being so polite, Lee Xun was even more certain that there was nothing good going on, and said: ”If you have something to say, just say it, don't force it.”
”Yesterday, the Pineflower Country sent a messenger, requesting us to send some people to support them. The Tianshan Country royal family has already agreed to their request, at the same time, the two nations have formed a strategic alliance, the situation in the south is too chaotic right now. ”
”Then you can just send some elders. It's not like I have to go to war, right?”
”Not really. The Seven Sects Alliance still remembered that they still refused to give up. Although the Southern Sword Sect Alliance had already collapsed, the five nations that the Seven Sects belonged to had formed their Alliance of Five again, and they wanted to take over all the territories in the southern region. Pineflower Country was one of the top three nations in the southern region, but compared to Alliance of Five, it was far too lacking. Once Pineflower Country was completed, then Tianshan Country would be very dangerous as well. No matter how strong our Tianshan Sword Sect is, it is impossible for us to be hostile to so many countries. Battles between Alliance of Five and others had already become unavoidable, but since they wanted to gain the initiative, they decided to send their missions over to Pineflower Country for negotiations. Negotiations were fake, the inside of the divided Pineflower Country was the real thing. In addition, they also proposed to challenge all practitioners under thirty years of age in Pineflower Country during the negotiation period. This was to suppress the morale of the citizens and the army based on momentum. The matter of the negotiation is naturally unrelated to us, but regarding the challenge, we can help out, since I have a lot of disciples in the Tianshan Sword Sect as well, so I have to help out. ”
”Then, why don't you choose some of the stronger disciples? Don't tell me you want me to lead the team?”
”You're right, the four strongest disciples with Pineflower Country are all at your Heavenly Academy. If you don't lead the group, those disciples with Heavenly Academy should also go train. What do you think?”
Lee Xun thought that it made sense, training with his Heavenly Academy was not a solution, it needed to be tested using real combat. Since they were going to fight, then this challenge would definitely be a life and death battle, it was a good opportunity.
”Well, is that any good?”
”I don't have any here, so the Pineflower Country should be plenty, right?”
Knowing that he would not be able to win, Lee Xun did not linger, and stood up to leave.
”Wait a moment, the Tianshan Country envoy seems to know you, and has asked him to go with you to the Heavenly Academy. Once you have settled the matter of Heavenly Academy, bring someone along to the Pineflower Country with you.”
