Once upon a time there was a sword-questioner

Chapter 429 Borrowing a Sword
Chaotian City, Asking Sword Pavilion.

Ning Zhiqiu was lying on the bamboo chair, looking very comfortable. Not only is the sun shining today, but there seems to be a good show to watch.

Shangguan Yin and the white-clothed man had been standing in the courtyard for a long time, with their hands behind their backs and looking up at the sky. No one spoke, they were extremely quiet.

"Senior brother, how have you been all these years?" At some point, the man in white finally spoke first.

Shangguan Yin retracted his gaze, glanced at him, and said, "It's pretty good, after I leave, I finally have time to study the art of chess."

The man in white smiled lightly and said, "It seems that leaving Tianji Valley is also a good thing for you."

Ning Zhiqiu suddenly opened his eyes wide and his ears pricked up.

A look of disappointment appeared in Shangguan Yin's eyes, and he said, "Master... Where's the owner of the valley?"

The man in white said, "Master has gone to Daming Palace to meet the Empress."

Shangguan Yin nodded silently, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, but remained silent.

"So you used to be from Tianji Valley."

Ning Zhiqiu suddenly appeared in front of the two, looked at Shangguan Yin carefully, then looked at the man in white and said, "Could it be that you are Wu Feng?"

The man in white nodded and smiled: "Hello."

Wu Feng is the only descendant of Tianji Valley. After wandering with his master for several years, now that he appears in Chaotian City, it is inevitable that those who are interested will think about it.

Ning Zhiqiu stroked his chin thoughtfully, his eyes flickered, and after a while, he looked at Shangguanyin and said, "Tianji Valley has one master and one disciple, what's the matter with you? Have you betrayed?"

Hearing this, Shangguan Yin's face changed slightly, the coldness in his eyes disappeared for a moment, and suddenly he said sadly: "You are not unreasonable in saying that."

Ning Zhiqiu was slightly surprised, his pupils dilated slightly.

"Brother is not a traitor, it's just that Tianji Valley is not suitable for him, so the master allowed him to leave."

Wu Feng who was on the side spoke, his words were calm and breezy, without any intention of blame.

Ning Zhiqiu said: "So that's the case..."

Shangguan Yin suddenly said: "You came to Chaotian City to help the Empress deal with the Mountain Lord?"

Wu Feng's face gradually became serious, and he said: "Before the master said that there was a big disaster, even Tianji Valley couldn't ignore it."

"disaster?"

Shangguan Yin was horrified, and said, "Could it be that the Lord of the Mountain will really make life in the Kunlun world miserable?"

Wu Feng was silent for a while and said: "Master said so, you also know that his old man's realm is not comparable to you and me."

Shangguan Yin nodded silently, then walked towards the door without saying a word.

"where are you going?"

Ning Zhiqiu asked in confusion.

There was no response and he had already left Wenjian Pavilion.

Wu Feng said helplessly: "He should be going to Daming Palace."

Ning Zhiqiu said, "Looking for your master?"

Wu Feng said, "No, I'm looking for the empress."

……

……

Ever since the female emperor was seriously injured in the battle with the mountain master and retreated, she has only seen General Yeyuan.

On this day, Lu Tingshan, the owner of Tianji Valley, came to Daming Palace in person, and actually saw this woman who had shed her royal aura in the imperial study.

Simple red clothes, simple makeup and hair.

The empress's face was a little pale, she gently put down the Langhao soft pen in her hand, looked at the hundreds of words written, and nodded in satisfaction.

Lu Tingshan's white hair was like snow, but his spirit was radiant, and there was a mysterious meaning hidden in his vast eyes. Looking at the state of the empress, most of the worries in his heart were relieved.

"Long time no see, I didn't expect you to come to see me in person."

After a long time, the empress sat down on the phoenix chair and slightly relaxed her delicate body.

Lu Tingshan nodded lightly and said: "When the mountain lord is born, the world may fall into the abyss. I will do my best as the master of Tianji Valley."

The empress blinked slightly, and said, "Are you here to help me, or do you want me to help you?"

Lu Tingshan said: "Everything is for the peace of Kunlun Realm."

The empress said: "You know what the mountain will do?"

There was a very faint light in Lu Tingshan's eyes, and he couldn't see sadness or joy. He said calmly: "The Wolf King, Sect Master You, and Headmaster Beiyi have all broken through the Taiqing, and they have all surrendered to the Mountain Lord."

"As expected."

The Empress raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at Lu Tingshan and said: "Although the Lord of the Mountain was forced to flee, he still poked a hole in the Immortal Execution Formation with the power of the God-Descending Formation, and it will be difficult to recover for a while. You should be able to understand the current situation. , is there a solution?"

Lu Tingshan was silent for a moment, then said: "If those three attack, may His Majesty stop them?"

The Empress said: "Of course I can't stop it."

Lu Tingshan said: "It's already been a winter, why didn't they take advantage of the damage to the Immortal Execution Formation and His Majesty's serious injury?"

The empress looked slightly different, and said, "You mean they were delayed by other things, or that there are more important things to do?"

Lu Tingshan said seriously: "Since they surrender to the mountain lord, the mountain lord's affairs are the most important thing, but why not take the opportunity to take action against Chaotian City?"

The empress lowered her eyes slightly, and after a while suddenly raised her head and said, "The Lord of the Mountain was injured in the Zhuxian formation, are they helping him heal?"

Lu Tingshan said: "It can only be explained in this way."

The empress fell silent, her eyes fell on the new Fu on the table inadvertently, her eyes gradually turned cold, and she said, "Where is the Lord of the Mountain now?"

Lu Tingshan said, "Kunlun Mountain."

The Empress asked again: "Are those three people there?"

Lu Tingshan nodded, and said: "Don't tell me that the mountain lord and the three Taiqing Realm powerhouses can't get in just by the source formation barrier. Your Majesty still needs to make preparations."

The Empress said: "Naturally Kunlun Mountain cannot be entered. Do you want me to restore the Zhuxian Formation first?"

Lu Tingshan said: "Yes, and not only repair, but also evolution and sublimation to become stronger."

The empress frowned slightly, and said, "You have a way?"

Lu Tingshan said: "Miss Gu should be in Daming Palace, she has something that can help."

The empress thought for a while and said, "You mean the talisman full of sword energy?"

Lu Tingshan bowed seriously and said, "That talisman is called the Talisman of the Ancestral Sword, and it is beyond the ranks of holy objects."

……

……

Today, the Empress seems to be in a particularly good mood and state. After Lu Tingshan left, she met an old friend whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

The atmosphere in the imperial study room became a little strange.

Shangguan Yin knelt on the ground and saluted respectfully, as if he was the most pious courtier in the world.

"Now not only Chaotian City, but even the entire Kunlun Realm is shrouded in the shadow of the Mountain Lord. Why are you coming back?"

Obviously, there was anger in the empress' voice.

Shangguan said with sincerity and trepidation: "I can't be with you in times of crisis. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I have a chance encounter in the game of chess, so I wasted some time."

The empress's expression softened a little, and she waved her hand to bring Qingfeng up to help him up, and said, "You came to see me for something?"

Although Shangguan Yin was standing, he was still extremely respectful, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, have you met Lu Guzhu?"

The empress said: "Yes, speaking of which, you were once masters and apprentices, so you don't plan to meet?"

Shangguan Yin said: "I will see you again if you are destined. I would like to know what he told you?"

The Empress told Lu Tingshan about repairing the Zhuxian Formation. During this process, she kept observing the changes in Shangguan Yin's expression, but she didn't see any clues.

Shangguan Yin listened carefully and said after a moment: "As expected of the Master of Tianji Valley."

The empress' eyes narrowed slightly and she said, "Do you know what the talisman of the ancestral sword is?"

Shangguan Yin was silent for a moment and said: "I once had a glimpse of the secret by chance and observed the corner of the ancestral sword talisman, but I didn't know anything about it. It's just that Tang Ge discovered this thing, and it must be something that made Tang Ge."

Da da da……

The empress tapped on the table, her slender jade fingers shook slowly, echoing in the quiet imperial study.

After a long time, she said, "So you came here just to repeat what Lu Tingshan said?"

Shangguan Yin's eyelids drooped slightly, and his unfathomable eyes were reflected on the crimson crystal floor, like running water and an abyss.

After pondering for a while, he said: "Your Majesty, please don't believe him."

The empress raised her lips slightly, smiled coldly, and said, "Then who do you think I should trust?"

Shangguan Yin raised his head, looked into her eyes without fear and said, "Tang Ge."

"Oh?"

The empress raised her brows slightly and said, "It's interesting, then you can find him back for me."

Shangguan Yin bowed and said, "Please Your Majesty bestow upon me the divine soldiers, ghosts and spirits."

The Empress' expression changed slightly, and she suddenly said, "It turns out he's in trouble."
