Chapter 1091: Opening the Sword Qi Corridor
Upon hearing Lin Ying's words, Su Jingzhen couldn't help but feel a wave of nervousness.
Ever since he heard the news about Zhang Xiu in the Divine Shepherd Realm, he had been fantasizing about various scenarios of their reunion. Now, the mont had finally arrived.
After a night of rapid recovery and the consumption of various dicinal pills, the few who had been severely injured the previous day had mostly recovered.
Shengana had the ability to restore them to full health in a very short ti, but she chose not to reveal this capability.
"Even though there are only seven of us left, we should have nothing to fear once we enter the Sword Qi Corridor. Rest assured, after this event, the Lin Clan will surely reward you all handsoly."
Looking at Su Jingzhen, Qiu Yaoyao, and the others, Lin Ying's expression was still filled with excitent.
She was full of confidence for what lay ahead.
Su Jingzhen and the others nodded silently without saying much.
However, the remaining four had a bitter expression on their faces.
They were well aware that they had beco re fillers, only there to make up the numbers.
Before the conflict with Chen Lang, they were full of confidence and even had so hope for Lin Ying.
But now, all they wanted to do was follow behind the stronger mbers, hoping to get so rewards from the Lin Clan.
For them, the most important thing was survival.
...
The Sword Qi Corridor was located between two snow-capped mountains deep in the Sword Land.
For the outer disciples, this area was usually an absolutely forbidden zone.
If an outer disciple dared to enter without permission, the mildest punishnt would be expulsion or confinent, while the most severe would be execution on the spot.
This showed how much the Sword Land valued the Sword Qi Corridor.
However, today, this highly important forbidden zone was being opened to the public.
Not only ordinary disciples from Sword Land's headquarters were allowed to enter, but even outsiders were allowed to co and go as they pleased.
However, no one dared to cause trouble here.
After all, the more open a place was, the more severe the consequences for any misbehavior.
Everyone who ca here couldn't help but beco solemn.
Most of them didn't even dare to speak out loud.
At this mont, in front of the snow-capped mountains where the Sword Qi Corridor was located, a massive square had been forcibly cleared.
The square was already crowded with people.
When Su Jingzhen and his group arrived, they were led directly to a prominent position at the very front of the square.
This was the treatnt Lin Ying deserved as one of the Ten Great Holy Maidens.
From this position, Su Jingzhen could see that every leader present had an extraordinary aura.
And without exception, they were all female disciples.
Exactly ten of them.
Su Jingzhen couldn't help but feel curious. These were undoubtedly the Ten Great Holy Maidens of Sword Land.
Like most people, his gaze quickly locked onto the Holy Maiden in the center, who was dressed in a moon-white gown. She had a cold, yet breathtakingly beautiful appearance.
Su Jingzhen didn't need to ask to know that this must be the top Holy Maiden, Qing Yue.
After all, whether in terms of aura or appearance, she seed to outshine the other nine Holy Maidens.
She was also probably the main driving force behind this event and the one who had targeted Zhang Xiu in Sword Land, causing Zhang Xiu to beco an outcast among most of the disciples.
"She's quite beautiful, but she made the wrong choice," Su Jingzhen muttered to himself.
At this mont, he noticed that Qing Yue's expression was also quite serious.
Her eyes were fixed on the valley between the snow-capped mountains, which was constantly emitting sharp sword intent.
This was the true location of the Sword Qi Corridor.
Her gaze held no room for anyone else, as if she didn't even consider Lin Ying and the others worthy of her attention.
Even though the incident between Lin Ying and Chen Lang the previous day had attracted a lot of attention, and Su Jingzhen's combat prowess had likely spread among the younger generation of Sword Land, to core disciples like Qing Yue, it was nothing remarkable.
"Does she look good?"
Su Jingzhen's gaze on Qing Yue didn't attract much attention, as most of the young male and even female disciples present were also staring at her with infatuated expressions.
But Qiu Yaoyao, who was standing beside him, narrowed her eyes.
She reached out and pinched Su Jingzhen's waist, her Spirit Immortal strength causing him to wince in pain.
However, he imdiately put on a serious expression and said, "After looking left, right, up, and down, I can confidently say that none of the Ten Great Holy Maidens of Sword Land can hold a candle to you, Yaoyao."
"Hmph!"
Hearing Su Jingzhen's smooth talk, Qiu Yaoyao snorted and rolled her eyes at him.
Flattery might be transparent, but it was still effective.
Even though Su Jingzhen's words were slightly exaggerated, Qiu Yaoyao couldn't help but feel satisfied.
"Our real opponents this ti aren't the other nine holy maidens. Their positions within Sword Land are quite stable. The most unstable one is , the tenth Holy Maiden."
As Su Jingzhen and the others looked around curiously, Lin Ying's voice rang in their ears.
As she spoke, her tone was filled with bitterness.
Even though she had been full of confidence before arriving, now that she was here and saw the hundred core disciples about to enter the Sword Qi Corridor, the pressure on her was imnse.
Without waiting for Su Jingzhen and the others to ask, Lin Ying continued, "Our main opponents are the other junior sisters who are qualified to beco Holy Maidens but are limited by the number of spots available. They want to see dead."
Lin Ying then subtly gestured to the positions of her real opponents.
Su Jingzhen and Qiu Yaoyao's gazes followed her indication, and they soon noticed several individuals in the crowd whose eyes were firmly locked on their group.
Upon closer inspection, Su Jingzhen could even sense a strong killing intent emanating from these people.
Yes, this killing intent was directly aid at him.
Behind one of the female disciples, he even spotted Chen Lang, who was smiling as he fanned himself with his folding fan.
Realizing this, Su Jingzhen couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
He knew that this trip to the Sword Qi Corridor would not be a peaceful one.
The seeds sown yesterday would inevitably bear fruit today.
Then he felt a sense of nostalgia. By randomly choosing Lin Ying, the tenth Holy Maiden, to lead him into the Sword Qi Corridor, it seed that fate had destined him to stir up a storm within Sword Land from the mont he arrived in Qingyuan City.
"Who is Chen Lang supporting?" Su Jingzhen asked curiously when he saw Chen Lang.
This guy's performance the day before had left a deep impression on Su Jingzhen.
Having such a powerful, well-connected, and scheming person as an enemy was indeed a bit unsettling.
"Hong Yu! During the selection for the tenth Holy Maiden, she was my biggest competitor.
I barely won by a narrow margin, otherwise she would be the tenth Holy Maiden instead of . She has never stopped trying to bring down, and she has the biggest grudge against ."
As she spoke, Lin Ying's tone grew heavier.
Even without Chen Lang's assistance, Hong Yu was the opponent she feared the most.
Now that Hong Yu had tead up with Chen Lang, it was a formidable alliance.
"There are seven of them, and with Lin Ying herself, that makes eight. But in reality, we only need to pay attention to Lin Ying, Zou Zeyu, and Qiu Yaoyao.
The others are nothing to worry about. Once we enter the Sword Qi Corridor, Senior Brother Chen, you must help eliminate them as quickly as possible."
Seeing Su Jingzhen and the others looking in her direction, Hong Yu didn't bother to hide the killing intent in her eyes.
As if by magic, Chen Lang opened his folding fan, revealing the alluring figure of Lin Ying at its center.
Then he smiled at Hong Yu and said, "Junior Sister Hong Yu, don't worry. You know what my goal is and why I decided to support you. Our goals are the sa."
Su Jingzhen and the others didn't pay much attention to Chen Lang's actions.
After shifting her gaze away from Hong Yu and Chen Lang, Su Jingzhen observed the other female disciples who were also hostile to their group.
These individuals had strong auras and cultivation levels, and most of them were on par with Lin Ying.
Su Jingzhen couldn't help but mutter to himself, "No wonder Lin Ying is under so much pressure. If it weren't for , this ti she might really lose her position as the tenth Holy Maiden."
Although the Lin Clan was not weak within the Sword Land's jurisdiction, they had no way to intervene in matters like this.
As ti passed, more and more core disciples arrived at the square.
Su Jingzhen spotted so familiar faces among them.
Jian Xin, whom he had t in the Divine Shepherd Realm, was also one of the hundred core disciples entering the Sword Qi Corridor this ti.
The seating arrangent in the square before entering the corridor roughly reflected the status of these disciples.
And Jian Xin's rank seed to be quite high.
When the sun had fully risen, a group of several dozen Sword Land elders suddenly appeared above the square.
They looked down at the crowd below.
Then, the elders simultaneously ford hand seals and sent spiritual imprints toward the valley between the two snow-capped mountains.
The space there twisted instantly.
Sharp sword qi shot up from the valley, and at the sa ti, a few holy and imnse auras emanated from within.
Qiu Yaoyao, who was standing next to Su Jingzhen, suddenly woke up.
"This fluctuation... it seems..."
As the possessor of the Heavenly Dragon Tribulation Body, one of the most powerful physiques in the world, she was particularly sensitive to fluctuations of a similar level.
"This is the aura of Sword Land's inherited physique. The stronger the aura, the closer one is to success."
Lin Ying's expression turned serious again.
Her words didn't seem to be directed at anyone in particular, more like she was talking to herself.
However, Su Jingzhen suddenly felt a wave of excitent. He knew that the person Lin Ying was referring to was Zhang Xiu.
He instinctively turned to look at the uppermost holy maiden, Qing Yue.
Her cold and calm face also showed a hint of excitent, and her aura gradually grew sharper.
"The ti has co. Co forward. Rember, everything in the Sword Qi Corridor depends on fate. Do not force what cannot be."
At this mont, a hoarse voice suddenly rang out.
Lin Ying and the others imdiately moved and rushed towards the valley between the snow-capped mountains.
