In the early morning, the chirps in Tianku Peak were like messy tweedles. The snow on the summit of the peak started to melt and led to a long white fall on the cliff. While the fall flowed into the clouds and scattered in the fogs, the brown branches had sprouted in many gardens down the peak. The sunny day seemed able to make a whole spring.The sword fighting mock in the early spring of the four peaks would be held seven days later. The new assessment of the outer peak would be conducted at the same time. Every year, two or three disciples would be selected to ascend the summit and learn the true swordsmanship of the Oracle Sword Heavenly Sect.These days, many disciples had started to practice swordsmanship on the summit of the peak before the day broke. When the sword was drawn out and taken back, the wrist caused the vibration of the sword tip, leading to sword chirps reverberating through the summit of the peak.This morning’s cla

The dark grey fog rolled and foamed. In the extreme darkness, the clouds of fog were like deathly light. Within the grey fog, the smoke and fog were like the intertwining and wriggling snakes. They surged towards the direction where Ning Changjiu fell and yet, didn’t dare to approach him due to the fear for the golden crow’s light.Feeling that he was falling, Ning Changjiu exerted the only consciousness to bite the tip of his tongue. The pain made him gain temporary sobriety. He opened his golden pupils. He couldn’t see the edge of the cliff. Those small snakes formed by the smoke and fog came to his view. There were so many of them, which were like limp corpses taking the shape of a hurricane-like inverted cone. Only by one glance, it would make one’s blood freeze.While falling rapidly, Ning Changjiu thrust around with his sword. Luckily, he didn’t get too far away from the cliff. The sword reached the hard cliff wall shortly.He inje

Looking at the old man who bent over his desk recording, Ning Changjiu finally recalled that not only the sword fighting mock but also the exam of the outer peak was held today for a while.He held his head and felt that he had forgotten something important.Having waited for a while, the old man noticed that Ning Changjiu still didn’t speak so he raised his head and asked curiously, “What? Are you too nervous? In this case, just go aside and make way for those who are not nervous.”Ning Changjiu figured that he might as well give it a try since he was here anyway.“How will the exam be carried out?” Ning Changjiu asked.The old man was dazed for a moment and looked up at him with an angry facial expression, saying, “What’s your name? Mr. Sun has spent more than 15 minutes talking about that. And you didn’t hear any of it?”Ning Changjiu didn’t know how to refute him.Ning Changjiu’s su

The tip of Ning Changjiu’s sword was not stained with any blood now. His face was fair-skinned with his facial lines somewhere between softness and tightness. He looked just like a noble gentleman with a graceful bearing.His posture of sword striking was quite weird. That was a laborsome posture. Most of his strength was pressed on his thighs and waist while his arms appeared feeble but he still could kill the old man in grey who was quite capable with one thrust.No one knew when he appeared or where he came from.The moment the old man in grey collapsed, his body finally got relieved from that weird posture. When Ning Changjiu withdrew the sword, he shook the blood off it completely.“Sir...” It was Nancheng who recognized Ning Changjiu first. Looking at the familiar figure in white, he shivered with excitement.Everyone gazed at him immediately.“Who are you?” Someone asked with alertness rather

Tonight, the Tianku Peak was like a huge furnace. Flames came out of the cave mouths above the hillside with steaming hot as if refining the whole peak.That was the fire the hidden peak.The corpses were burned intensively. The fire was not the actual fire but the light kindled by the massive aura. It had no heat at all but it still shone Tianku Peak brightly. Yet, in the bright beautiful scenery, numerous corpses turning into ashes seemed to be indicating the future decline of Tianku Peak.In the sword peak with a lack of capable cultivators, after the turmoil, decline was almost predictable.In the end, the cold prison was sealed again, except that the prisoners within had been mostly injured and dead. From now on, it would be difficult for Tianku Peak to contend for aura against the three other peaks. As to the mysterious bottom of the peak enshrouded with black fog, no one went there for exploration anymore for now.
