Chapter 180 128. Do you want the demonic path to switch to the righteous path?
At this moment, as Sword Young Master traveled all over the world, news had spread far and wide that three months later, in March after the new year, the Sword Appreciation Ceremony would be held at Black Heart Mountain in Yuezhou.
If it were just to let the top Immortal Sects, or most of the Immortal Sects know about this event, it actually wouldn't be so slow. With the various means of the cultivation world, it wouldn't take even an hour to spread the news to all the major Immortal Sects.
The reason for this lengthy process was simply that Sword Young Master had spread the news of the Sword Appreciation Ceremony at Black Heart Mountain so broadly that even warriors from the martial community, and even remote and information-starved rural areas, knew about such a matter!
"Are we in Yuezhou really about to witness such a lively event? Those noble Immortal Sect elders are truly going to hold the sword ceremony at Black Heart Mountain?"
"Indeed, haven't you seen that the Li family, who provide for those Immortal Sect elders, have already escorted the Li family's young and old out of our county?"
These were two martial artists from Yuezhou, gathered together and discussing this matter.
The Li family was a prestigious and influential local family in the area, with generations serving in the imperial court, so their foundation was solid. Furthermore, the current Li family had produced a legitimate daughter who became a disciple of the Jianxia Sect's Fairy, which added even more to their family's prestige in the area.
Many Loose Cultivators, attracted to the Li family's reputation, came to pay their respects and became retinue scholars in the Li household.
"Ah? Why's that? Isn't this a grand occasion?" The first martial artist, somewhat puzzled, asked.
Although Cultivators frequently interact with the martial world, many matters of the cultivation realm do not get passed on to the martial world.
"What grand occasion? Black Heart Mountain is the cultivation place of the current Demon Lord, and this sword appreciation event is hosted by the Demon Lord himself. Don't you find the name 'Sword Apprentice Mountain' familiar?" The second martial artist looked at the first with an expression as if staring at a simpleton.
"Hiss! It's that mountain where Sword Immortals gather! So you're saying the swords to be rewarded at Black Heart Mountain all come from Sword Apprentice Mountain? Black Heart Mountain truly lives up to its name!" The first martial artist suddenly realized.
Hearing this, the second martial artist, without another word, got up and left swiftly, fearing that staying any longer might involve him in the troubles of this simpleton.
Of course, there were also a few Immortal Sects, but those sects were not ones Sword Apprentice Mountain could be certain had not already pledged allegiance to Tan Shuchang or were secretly controlled by him.
After all, his hundreds of years of cultivation were alarmingly formidable.
Therefore, for the sake of caution, their only option was Qinghe City, under the management of the Jianxia Sect.
"After a short rest, we'll head straight to Qinghe City, as instructed by the sect leader before he descended the mountain," said not Hong Yan but a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young male Cultivator. He was Ye Suzhen, the leader of this expedition.
However, it wasn't because Ye Suzhen's cultivation was higher than Hong Yan's, but rather because his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather were all high-ranking members of Sword Apprentice Mountain, thus he was responsible for this matter.
Hong Yan, just sixteen but with twenty years of cultivation effort, could be said to be the most diligent among the Sword Apprentice Mountain disciples when it came to practicing.
This was because the pills Sword Apprentice Mountain provided to ordinary disciples were all the same.
One Inch Jade Efficacy Pill per year.
And these ordinary disciples were those whose parents had at least one person who was a Sword Apprentice Mountain disciple, combined with their own decent aptitude, allowing them to be accepted into Sword Apprentice Mountain. Hong Yan was one such case.
Seeing Ye Suzhen speaking up, the other Sword Apprentice Mountain disciples ceased their complaints, including those few who were indignant.
Soon enough, this group of Sword Apprentice Mountain disciples left the inn.
As they stepped out, they noticed a refined and noble-looking young man with a gentle smile watching them, which startled Ye Suzhen. But before he could speak up, two young men behind him ran out excitedly: "Uncle-master, uncle-master, what brings you here? Oh right, uncle-master, we've indeed made a mistake in the task you gave us last time to investigate.
We've already apologized to that fellow daoist along with sister Hong Yan, and we've even recommended him to practice in the Tai Yi Sword Sect."
