Chapter 1825 - 1825 Invitation from the Sword Sect
Chapter 1825 Invitation from the Sword Sect
Beep! Beep! Beep!
As soon as Fang Qiu put away his backpack, the phone in his trouser pocket rang.
He took out his phone and saw that it was a call from an unknown number.
Moreover, the caller had dialed not Fang Qiu’s but John Doe’s number.
“Who could it be?”
Fang Qiu was stunned.
The phone number of John Doe was completely confidential. Except for Li Ji and some of his friends in Wulin, no one else knew this phone number.
Why was there an unknown number calling at this time?
“h.e.l.lo?”
Fang Qiu picked up the phone and spoke in the way that John Doe spoke.
“Is this John Doe?”
A familiar voice came from the other end of the line.
“Yes.”
Fang Qiu nodded.
“Haha.”
The person on the other end of the line laughed and said, “What’s wrong? Can’t you recognize my voice?”
“Wei Jian?”
Fang Qiu thought for a moment and then laughed.
“Brother John Doe, it’s been a while! Where have you been? If I hadn’t shamelessly come to your mountain gate to ask for your phone number, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to reach you,” said Wei Jian with a laugh.
“I’m doing secluded cultivation abroad.”
Fang Qiu replied, “Brother Wei, what can I do for you?”
“It’s not an urgent matter.”
Wei Jian smiled and said, “A disciple of our Sword Sect invited you before, but you have never come to our sect. Recently, the higher-ups have thought of this matter, and you have made great contributions to the country, so they want to invite you to our sect!
“Because you and I have cooperated before, I’m the one who’s taking this heavy responsibility.”
At this point, Wei Jian paused for a moment. Without waiting for a definite answer from Fang Qiu, he said directly, “Please accept my invitation. If you don’t come over, I’ll be embarra.s.sed.”
Hearing this, Fang Qiu immediately laughed and said, “I’m going back to Beijiang. I should arrive tomorrow. I’ll go to you as soon as I get back to the relic.”
“Okay. It’s a deal then. I’ll wait for you in the relic.”
Wei Jian immediately nodded in response.
After hanging up, he put away his phone with a satisfied smile.
Because he had cooperated with Fang Qiu twice, he had a certain understanding of Fang Qiu’s temperament. He knew that Fang Qiu was not the kind of person who sought power, but a relatively carefree person.
Even if the Sword Sect was a top metahuman force in Huaxia, if Fang Qiu didn’t want to go over, he wouldn’t do it even if the state gave an order.
Moreover, the government would not issue such an order.
Therefore, when Wei Jian called Fang Qiu, he was very worried that he would be rejected by Fang Qiu, which would make him embarra.s.sed.
Fortunately, Fang Qiu agreed.
In fact, Fang Qiu had always been very curious about the Sword Sect. He had always wanted to go there to learn about the strongest metahuman force in Huaxia.
He never got to do so previously.
Now, it was just the right time.
After packing his luggage, Fang Qiu left the hotel directly, came to the capital airport, and got on the plane to Beijiang.
On the way, Fang Qiu called He Xue.
When he arrived at the airport, a staff member of the cultivation base came to the airport to pick him up because He Xue was busy working in the capital.
Back at the cultivation base, Fang Qiu went to see his parents first.
They didn’t blame Fang Qiu because Fang Qiu had disappeared for such a long time. Instead, they kept praising him. In particular, they were very satisfied with the show Xiao Fang’s Lecture Room.
Later, Fang Qiu met Jiang Miaoyu and invited her to have dinner with his family.
After dinner, Fang Qiu dealt with the affairs in the cultivation base.
Then, he left the cultivation base directly and came to the desert. After he disguised as John Doe once again, he rushed all the way back to the Laozi Relic.
As the Wulin people entered on a large scale, the Laozi Relic became more and more lively.
Back in the Laozi Relic, Fang Qiu went straight to the top of the clouds, where the Sword Sect’s territory was located.
Fang Qiu said to the gatekeeper of the Sword Sect, “Please inform Wei Jian that I’m here.”
The gatekeeper of the Sword Sect seemed to be frightened by John Doe’s sudden appearance.
After being stunned for a while, he said, “Martial Uncle Wei Jian has been waiting for you for a long time, senior. I’ll take you in now.”
“Great.”
Fang Qiu nodded with a smile.
This gatekeeper was very young. It seemed that he had just joined the Sword Sect. His strength was only at the middle stage of the eighth cla.s.s.
Look at this young gatekeeper, Fang Qiu sighed with emotion in his heart.
He didn’t expect that in the blink of an eye, he had become a senior of the new generation of Wulin.
It had only been three years.
In fact, he should have been in the same generation as the gatekeeper.
“Alas…”
Thinking of this, Fang Qiu shook his head and sighed.
He felt as if he was only 20 years old, but he was called uncle by a 17- or 18-year-old person, which was really uncomfortable.
“Brother John Doe, why are you sighing?”
The voice of Wei Jian rang out.
Fang Qiu looked up and saw that Wei Jian had come out of the built pavilion of the Sword Sect to welcome him.
“Brother Wei.”
Fang Qiu made a hold fist salute to Wei Jian.
“Haha, you’re indeed a man of his word.”
Wei Jian also gave a hold-fist salute in return and said, “You just came back from a tiring trip. Would you like to have a rest first?”
“No, thanks.”
Fang Qiu reached out to grab Wei Jian’s shoulder and said, “Do you need to give some instructions to your disciples?”
“There’s no need for doing that. We’ll just be making a small trip,” said Wei Jian with a smile.
“Then let’s go.”
After running his power a bit, Fang Qiu disappeared from where he was with Wei Jian and instantly appeared in the desert 100 meters away from the entrance of the relic.
Because Wei Jian had already known that Fang Qiu had this ability, he was not surprised.
“Where are we going?” Fang Qiu asked.
He didn’t know where the Sword Sect was, and it was inappropriate to ask about it in detail, so he could only ask this question.
“Shaan Gan Province.”
Wei Jian said, “The plane is ready. As long as we arrive at the airport, we can set off at any time.”
The two of them immediately rushed to Beijiang Airport.
The Sword Sect was powerful and important after all.
The higher-ups had sent over a private plane.
After arriving at the airport, Wei Jian and Fang Qiu got on a private plane and rushed all the way to Shaan Gan Province.
Soon, they arrived at their destination.
Wei Jian led Fang Qiu straight into a car that had been prepared outside the airport in advance and soon arrived at Mount Li.
Mount Li, located in Shaan Gan Province, was a branch of the Qinling Mountains. It was 1302 meters above sea level. It consisted of the East and West Peaks. Mount Li was an abrupt formation of the late rise of the Qinling Mountains. It was in the Wei River rift zone within an isolated bas.e.m.e.nt-type section of a fault-block mountain. The mountain peaks there were winding and tree-lined. Mount Li looked like a horse from afar.
Mount Li had always been regarded as the royal garden by the Zhou, Qin, Han, and Tang dynasties.
Rumors had it that in ancient times, a G.o.ddess refined stones here to mend the sky. In the late Western Zhou Dynasty, King Zhouyou performed the historical story of “the Duke of Fire Beacon”. Emperor Qin s.h.i.+huang built his tomb at the foot of Mount Li and left the world-famous Terracotta Army Formation of the Qin Dynasty there.
In the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Tang Xuanzong and Imperial n.o.ble Consort Yang had a sad and beautiful love story there.
Mount Li was the witness to the history of the Huaxia nation.
After arriving at Mount Li, Fang Qiu took a look from a distance.
“I didn’t expect the Sword Sect to be here.”
Fang Qiu sighed with emotion.
Thinking about it carefully, he found that this place was indeed suitable.
After getting out of the car, Wei Jian said with a smile, “You didn’t expect that, did you?”
“I didn’t expect it.”
Fang Qiu nodded with a smile.
Then, led by Wei Jian, Fang Qiu avoided the scenic spot and went straight into the depths of Mount Li.
In the mountain area where there was no road.
After pa.s.sing through the foggy area for a while, they landed on a very quiet blue stone path in a mountain stream.
Next to the blue stone path, there was a small river, which was gurgling.
Fang Qiu asked, “Outsiders can’t enter this place, right?”
“That’s right.”
Wei Jian nodded and said, “There is a formation outside that has completely isolated this area from the outside world. Not to mention ordinary people, even a guru can’t come in without knowing the formation.”
“A formation?”
Fang Qiu was stunned.
“It’s a formation that was left behind since ancient times.”
Wei Jian replied with a smile, “I don’t know the details about it.”
“Okay.”
Fang Qiu nodded to show that he understood.
He raised his head and looked forward.
On the left side of the blue stone path was a mountain wall with moss attached. The mountain wall was winding along the blue stone path, and it was less than 20 meters away. The path connected to the left and the road ahead could not be seen.
The two walked 20 meters.
After they made the turn, the scene in front of Fang Qiu became clear.
With a closer look, he found that in front of him was an incomparably vast world. Clouds and mists swirled around it, and immortal mountains were towering. At a glance, it gave people the impression that they were in an immortal realm.
Moreover, the Qi of Heaven and Earth in this area was also very rich.
Looking along the blue stone path, Fang Qiu found that he was halfway up the mountain.
The blue stone path extended from the top to the bottom like a slide. Among the dense clouds, the path extended from the other end of the cloud layer in the distance and connected to the huge sword mountain.
“Is that where the Sword Sect is located?” Fang Qiu asked.
“That is Sword Mountain.”
Wei Jian smiled, touched the long sword he carried with him, and said, “Sword Mountain is full of swords. Everyone who enters the Sword Sect must climb up the Sword Mountain.”
“Is that so?”
Fang Qiu was stunned.
Wei Jian explained, “This Sword Mountain is full of swords of the fallen people of the Sword Sect. Since ancient times, many people from the Sword Sect have come here to look for swords.”
“It seems that I’ll have to climb up the mountain as well,” said Fang Qiu with a smile.
“This is the only way to enter the Sword Sect.”
Wei Jian pointed forward and motioned for Fang Qiu to advance.
“Okay.”
Fang Qiu nodded. As he stepped forward, he said, “Then I’ll see what’s so special about this Sword Mountain.”
As he spoke, he quickly stepped forward.
Wei Jian followed closely behind.
Soon, they pa.s.sed through the cloud area and arrived at the foot of the Sword Mountain.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, Fang Qiu clearly saw that there were indeed countless swords inserted into the mountain, and the bodies of these swords had all pierced into the mountain, leaving only the hilts outside.
A gust of extremely majestic sword Qi enveloped the entire mountain.
Just by standing at the foot of the mountain, Fang Qiu could clearly feel the terrifying Sword Intent coming from the Sword Mountain.
