Chapter 8: The Eight Great Disciples (Middle)

The third sword is named Zhuangpo, and when drawn, it can reverse the sun and moon. It was taken by Zhang Taiyi, who is the third disciple. He is astute and very skilled at predicting fortune and misfortune

After verification, the master had nothing more to say and first summoned seven disciples to meet the new sister. It was then that Chong Chong realized that the ranking of the disciples was not determined by the order of their entry or by their age, but rather by the ranking based on the divine swords they were able to wield.

Brother Hui, it has been rearranged.

The eighth sword is named Zhen Gang, and the one who wields this sword is a pure and innocent boy over two hundred years old, named Shang Huangyi. This sword, true to its name, is a fierce and violent weapon. Upon seeing this person, Chong Chong felt a strong affinity and planned to develop him as his little brother in the future

"Cang Qiong, I did not ask you a question!" Bai Chenxiang said sternly, "Di Yi, is what your Western Master Uncle said true?"

The four masters understood his meaning and all volunteered to be the enlightenment teachers. However, after pondering for a while, Bai Chenxiang called for Lao Hei and handed over Chong Chong to him, stating that if Chong Chong could not fly with objects, he could not ascend to the Heavenly Gate of the Supreme Peak.

Well, well done. A true man knows when to act and when to refrain. If one is bullied right before their eyes and does not even dare to retaliate, then they are unworthy of being a disciple of my Heavenly Gate Sect. Tao Hua still maintained a state of closed-eyed contemplation, but it was evident that nothing happening in the great hall escaped his ears

Upon realizing this, he suddenly knelt down. As he knelt, the other disciples also fell to their knees, and the hall was instantly filled with a dark mass of figures, with only the little bug still standing foolishly, at a loss for what to do

Fortunately, he did not send her to pull out that deadly sword right away. Instead, he summoned the recently dismissed disciples to formally inform them of the news regarding the seventh disciple. The next agenda for the conference was to discuss why Hua Sihai had come to the foot of Yunmeng Mountain to kill the disciples of the Tianmen Sect

The group led by Emperor Yi was initially quite dejected, but upon hearing Taohua's words, they immediately felt invigorated and their courage was greatly enhanced

"Mo Wu, how is the arrangement of the Fangyuan formation?" asked the White Sect Leader

Since Mo Wu and Tao Hua have returned, it proves that matters have been settled. However, he has been busy dealing with various emergencies and has not been able to feel at ease. He has only been away for a few days, yet such a significant incident has occurred, with Hua Sihai coming to kill. If this matter spreads, the Tianmen Sect will be ridiculed by both righteous and demonic factions. A solution must be found, and it is essential to understand why that demon Hua Sihai acted this way. Compared to this issue, the matter of accepting the seventh disciple is secondary.

Her sword is the seventh sword, thus she is the seventh disciple of Bai Chenxiang. This sword is called Quexie Sword, and it is said that upon successful cultivation, one can achieve the unity of man and sword, allowing them to subdue any evil spirits and malevolent beings. It is a sword for slaying demons and dispelling evil. However, Chongchong does not wish to cultivate to achieve the unity of man and sword, as this sword is exceedingly ugly, covered in rust, and when it is embedded in a stone, one cannot discern its shape without careful observation.

The sixth sword is named "Mie Hun," and it is the most effective tool for driving away evil and avoiding misfortune in the world. It can suppress all ghosts and monsters, allowing its wielder to traverse the night without encountering any malevolent spirits. The person who obtained this sword is Wen Daoyi

The insect was originally listening to their argument with great interest, but upon hearing something related to itself that was so terrifying, it nearly choked on its own saliva. Could it be? That super handsome guy couldn't possibly be such a cruel person, could he? As the saying goes, one's appearance reflects one's heart; a person's character can indeed be seen in their looks. It is not to say that good-looking people are not bad, but the key lies in that gaze. That demon is so arrogant that he would certainly disdain to be so cruel and despicable

Is this really a good idea? The heavens seem to sing a different tune. Ever since the previous generation of masters of our Tianmen Sect inexplicably suffered losses, we have worked so hard over the past two hundred years to establish this small foundation and protect this little vein of our heritage. You are merely showing off your momentary bravery. If it were not for Hua Sihai inadvertently eliminating our sect, and if it were not for that girl accidentally coming to our rescue, who would bear the consequences? Must the Tianmen Sect endure for another two hundred years?

"Senior Brother, the injured disciples have all been treated with acupuncture and medicine," Taohua replied. "However, there is one strange thing. The disciples who were harmed by the demonic energy have only been afflicted with cold poison and are not in mortal danger; they should recover quickly. It is just that the four disciples who were killed, Junior Brother—there is no hope for them."

This meaning could not be clearer; the master does not like her, but Chongchong does not care at all. She likes Uncle Ha, and living with the kind and amiable Uncle Ha will surely be easy and interesting. Thinking about it this way, the master is indeed quite understanding. Now she no longer has to struggle on her own; being a leisurely pig in that beautiful valley is truly wonderful. As for cultivation, she understands it very well. As long as she can casually learn a few small spells over time, it will be enough to prevent Bai Chenxiang from thinking she is just taking advantage of the situation, and it will also keep him from having too high expectations of her.

I will take a look," Tao Hua suddenly said, "When seeking medical treatment, one should not avoid the doctor. I am a physician, so let us treat this as a medical consultation.

It is feared that those four disciples inadvertently offended Hua Sihai, or perhaps they learned some secret, which is why Hua Sihai pursued them to the foot of Yunmeng Mountain. A languid voice echoed, "It seems he did not come here intentionally to challenge us; it must be that Di Yi and the others could not tolerate him coming to our territory to kill, so they confronted him to seek revenge, resulting in a fierce clash that nearly destroyed the mountain gate. Am I right in saying this?"

The leader is named Bai Chenxiang. Ever since the Tianmen Sect was nearly exterminated two hundred years ago, he seems to have lived for these eight swords and their masters. At this moment, Chong Chong was in a good mood and carefully observed him, only to discover that the master appeared to be around forty years old, with a well-proportioned appearance and an inherent charm reminiscent of a celestial being.

The fourth sword is named Xuanjian, known for being the fastest sword. It was taken by Cheng Tianyi, who is the fourth disciple. He appears calm and composed, exuding the demeanor of a great general

The first sword is named "Yanzhi". When the sword is drawn, all sunlight dims. It was taken by Emperor Yi of the Shang Dynasty, a man with a face full of nobility, not an ordinary person, and he is the eldest disciple. Upon seeing him, Chongchong immediately recognized him, for he was the robust young man who stood at the forefront during the confrontation with Hua Sihai.

Looking at her angry face, Tao Hua's hand trembled slightly on her shoulder before retracting. In the end, the sect leader said: "Xuan Yi, you go and call Aunt Dong and Aunt Nan. Together with you, the three of you will check Yao Chongchong's tattoo. Report back to me immediately once you have results."

"The firmament, knowing it is impossible yet still striving for it, embodies the integrity that one should possess on the righteous path." Mo Wu might have the best relationship with the firmament, seeing that he was about to provoke the sect leader, he quickly interjected the conversation.

"Alas, the great demon who kills without mercy has come to bestow his grace! If this were told to a dog, even the dog would not believe it." Mo Wu snorted coldly, "What kind of nonsense is he up to? Does he think that the Tianmen Sect would be grateful to him for this?"

Upon hearing his name, Chong Chong quietly recalled having read a certain book that mentioned Wen Daoyi as the founding master of the Maoshan sect. This left her dumbfounded, as she never expected to become a senior apprentice alongside such a prominent figure. Moreover, this grand master appeared quite shy, with a few pimples on his face, and despite having lived for several hundred years, he resembled a teenager in the throes of adolescence

Peach blossoms nod gently, and everyone here knows that he is not only highly skilled in magic but also a renowned medical immortal. His diagnoses are absolutely infallible

The fifth sword is named "Jinglin", and it is the sword of Rongcheng Hualuo. Once this sword is mastered, it can be used to traverse the seas and also to extinguish enemies with water. Chongchong has long been acquainted with Rongcheng Hualuo and holds a very favorable impression of this fifth senior sister

The master furrowed his brow, feeling that it was quite inappropriate for a young lady to speak so coarsely. He was truly reluctant to accept her as a disciple. However, if she indeed had tattoos and could draw her sword, he would certainly take her as his seventh disciple. For the sake of righteousness and the Tianmen Sect, he was willing to make any sacrifice

Nevertheless, she became the seventh disciple of the Heavenly Gate Sect's leader. With her arrival, the eight swords were finally gathered. Even if they could not rise to prominence and sweep away the demons of the world, no one dared to overlook the Heavenly Gate Sect. Although none of these eight disciples could truly wield the sword in their hands, and there was still a genuine novice, Yao Chongchong, the divine artifacts in their possession were merely ordinary items. Nonetheless, there was finally hope for the revitalization of the Heavenly Gate Sect

Is it not fatal? Dao Lang was very surprised, and so were the others. Who does not know that Hua Sihai has always been ruthless in his actions? This time, however, he did not strike a lethal blow. What could be the reason for this?

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd was filled with indignation, and a murmur arose once again within the grand hall

Di Yi's cold sweat began to fall. Upon reflection, he felt that what Master Xi said was indeed correct. Only when fighting against Hua Sihai did he realize how strong he was. With his level of strength, he should be able to leave at will. Later, when the master and three uncles surrounded him, they were also unable to stop him. Could it be that he was truly too reckless and fell into the trap of that demon?

Having a master and a mistress proves that marriage is possible; if one can still eat meat, then the life of a sword immortal is not so bitter. In that case, it is not a big deal if she really cannot return; staying here peacefully is also quite good. At least after cultivation, one can retain youthful beauty even at several hundred years of age, saving a considerable amount on cosmetics, and there is no need for facelifts or liposuction, which are quite expensive.

Master Brother Di Yi nodded and said: "At that time, we were practicing in the training ground when we suddenly heard the urgent sound of the Thousand-Mile Transmission Drum, indicating that something was amiss down the mountain. We went down to provide assistance and found Hua Sihai attacking Senior Brother Wen and his group, who were trying to escape. How could we allow this demon to act so arrogantly? Is our Tianmen Sect so easy to bully?" As he spoke, he glanced at Cang Qiong, clearly hoping to call upon him as the master, but who would have thought that this Western Uncle was completely drunk.

Moreover, it was the first time she learned that these eight swords were collectively referred to as the Eight Swords of Chen Bing. It sounded so fierce, as if they were meant for the battlefield; she certainly did not want to engage in warfare

The second sword is named "Duan Shui" (Breaking Water), capable of drawing the blade to sever water. When the water flows, it is no longer in harmony. It was taken by Yan Xiaoyi, who is the second disciple. This individual is a handsome young man, resembling a scholar, yet possesses a resolute demeanor, embodying a person who is unyielding and steadfast.

Although the righteous and demonic paths are fundamentally opposed, both sides have ceased hostilities for nearly 300 years. Moreover, Hua Sihai has always maintained a non-aggression stance with the Tianmen Sect, with no entanglements whatsoever. What could be the reason for his actions? It is important to understand that killing someone at their doorstep is tantamount to the greatest provocation.

How is the treatment of the injured personnel?

The celestial beings of the underworld! Truly stunning and breathtakingly beautiful

Subsequently, Bai Chenxiang began to seek a mentor for Chongchong. Originally, he personally taught all eight disciples, and among the previous generation, he possessed the highest magical power. However, the other disciples had a considerable foundation when they started, while Chongchong did not even know the basics of meditation. Moreover, her lively and carefree personality was something Bai Chenxiang truly disliked, which is why he planned to find someone else to temper her character first.

This handsome senior is quite lecherous! He truly embodies the facade of propriety. The little bug stares at the peach blossom, using body language to express her unwavering determination to rather leap off a cliff than fall into the hands of a lecherous fiend.

The tattoo is genuine; although she understands that it is acquired rather than innate, she does not speak of it, and who would know? As for the blood on her bottom, given that she has so many wounds all over her body, who can tell how it ended up there

Who would have thought that the heavens would remain indifferent? Continuing, he said: "I have inquired about the process of the fight. He relied solely on the Locking Lin Dragon for defense and did not use the Ice Demon Blade at all. In the end, he also harmed people with demonic energy, but the consequences of that, as everyone has seen, are clear. What kind of person he is, and to what extent his magical power reaches, everyone understands. The reason he did not leave after killing is, in my view, neither to show off his might nor because he did not have time to escape; rather, he wanted to see our legendary Eight Swords of Chen Bing, and you all provided him with that opportunity. He now knows that among these eight swords, the Xie Xie Sword is his nemesis, and he understands that only when all eight swords are unleashed can there be divine light; otherwise, they are merely mundane tools.

Therefore, he will think of many ways to deal with it. If he were to capture that girl and chop her up to feed the dogs, what would the outcome be?

The matter of Master Bai and the three senior uncles going out is very secretive, and Hua Sihai could not possibly know about it. So why would he take the risk of battling against the experts of the Tianmen Sect to kill four ordinary disciples with low magical power? Is he not afraid of being ridiculed by both the righteous and demonic factions for bullying the weak and taking advantage of the strong? Is he truly that arrogant, that bored and cruel, or does he have some special purpose?
