Chapter 681

"Min Chenglong is dead, but that senior still came to the Tianshan Sect! Clearly, he is unwilling to let our Tianshan Sect off easily!"

"..."

The Tianshan Sect elders and disciples panicked and began to curse Min Chenglong.

This was only because Min Chenglong was already dead; otherwise, they would have made Min Chenglong understand very well why flowers are so red.

"Min Chenglong is dead! The Tianshan Sect is on the verge of destruction... what should we do now?!"

A moment later, the panicked Tianshan Sect elders were the first to calm down; an elder with white hair and beard, who looked highly virtuous and respected, asked.

"This... our Tianshan Sect has been passed down for thousands of years, and our foundation is indeed deep! But more than a hundred years ago, the World Society's Xiong Ba rose strongly, and our Tianshan Sect's foundation was consumed quite a bit, even to the point of being in imminent danger!"

"If not for Lian Ni... Patriarch Lian returning to the Tianshan Sect, I fear... And now, Patriarch Lian's whereabouts are unknown, Tang Xiaolan is not worth mentioning, and Yang Yan has been crippled, our cultivation... Sigh!"

"..."

The elders all spoke up, expressing their thoughts.

But it would have been better if they hadn't spoken; once they did, everyone became even more desperate.

"Tianshan Seven Swords!"

Just at this moment, Tang Jingtian, who had been silent, finally spoke, "Things have come to this! We have no choice but to bring out the Tianshan Seven Swords!"

"Nephew Tang! Do we really... have to bring out the Tianshan Seven Swords?!"

The Tianshan Seven Swords did not refer to the seven most powerful people among the contemporary young generation, but rather the seven most powerful people among every seven generations since the Tianshan Sect was founded!

Each of these Tianshan Seven Swords was at least a supreme expert of the Divine Ability Realm, and some of them were even retired Tianshan Sect Leaders!

Becoming a Tianshan Sect Leader did not necessarily mean becoming one of the Tianshan Seven Swords!

But becoming one of the Tianshan Seven Swords meant they were definitely one of the seven most powerful people in seven generations of the Tianshan Sect!

Among these seven people, perhaps some were martial brothers from the same generation; perhaps in one generation, there was not even one!

The Tianshan Seven Swords would rather have a vacancy than accept someone inferior!

In fact, the Tianshan Seven Swords of the previous seven generations only had three people, and thus they were called the Tianshan Three Swords!

The Tianshan Seven Swords were the true foundation of the Tianshan Sect and would never appear unless the sect was on the verge of destruction.

And once someone became one of the Tianshan Seven Swords, they could never again manage any affairs of the Tianshan Sect, unless the Tianshan Sect Leader and the three Great Elders acted together, and the Tianshan Sect was truly in danger of being destroyed, would they appear.

More than a hundred years ago, the Ming Sect was powerful and the World Society attacked, and the Tianshan Sect was in imminent danger; the Sect Leader at that time was Ling Weifeng, who originally wanted to bring out the Tianshan Three Swords, but these Tianshan Three Swords were old and frail, and if these Tianshan Three Swords also fell, then the Tianshan Sect's inheritance... might truly have come to an end.

Therefore, Ling Weifeng pondered for a long time and finally asked the Bai Fa Witch Lian Nichang to return to the Tianshan Sect, which led to the scene of the Tianshan Southern Sect's return.

But afterwards, the Tianshan Sect survived the danger of destruction, and Ling Weifeng regretted losing the position of Sect Leader and wanted to go back on his word, which led to internal strife.

Ling Weifeng, who could have become one of the Tianshan Seven Swords, was eventually severely wounded, his martial cultivation fell, and a few years later, when his time was up, he finally fell.

More than a hundred years passed, and the original Tianshan Three Swords fell one after another, with only Yang Yuncong remaining.

Therefore, the current Tianshan Seven Swords were: Fei Hongjin, Gui Zhongming, Mao Huanlian, Yi Lanzhu, Zhang Huazhao, and Wu Qiongyao!

If Yang Yuncong were added, it would be exactly seven people.

Of course, if Ling Weifeng hadn't died, he could also have become one of the Tianshan Seven Swords; and Tang Xiaolan, if he hadn't been dejected after his defeat, but instead knew shame and became brave, he might also have become one of the Tianshan Seven Swords!

And the current Tianshan Sect Leader Yang Yan was the same.

It could be said that the original Tianshan Seven Swords had three seeds—Ling Weifeng, Tang Xiaolan, and Yang Yan—but due to various reasons, these three seeds all faded into the crowd, causing the Tianshan Sect's previous generation and the contemporary generation to lack talent.

"Besides this, everyone, is there any other way?!"

Tang Jingtian asked in return.

Once these words were spoken, the crowd of Tianshan Sect disciples all fell silent.

"Very well! Nephew Tang is right! Things have come to this, we have no choice but to bring out the Tianshan Seven Swords!"

"Our wisdom is inadequate, we are old and frail, and we have not attained the realm of Earth Immortals, so that the Tianshan Sect has encountered this danger of destruction, yet we are powerless and have to trouble the Tianshan Seven Swords! Truly... Sigh!"

Suddenly, the Great Elder's expression became extremely ugly, and his words were filled with endless melancholy and sighing.

"Second Elder, Third Elder, come with me!"

As the words fell, the Great Elder no longer hesitated, called the Second Elder and Third Elder, and headed toward the Tianshan Sect's forbidden area, the Tianyi Pavilion.

Originally, the Tianshan Sect Leader should have gone together, but Tianshan Sect Leader Yang Yan had been crippled, became a cripple, and was still in a coma and had not woken up; the next Sect Leader had not yet been elected, so only the three Great Elders could go to the Tianyi Pavilion.

"I wonder if the Tianshan Seven Swords can stop them?!"

Watching the backs of the Great Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder as they left, Tang Jingtian remained worried and filled with unease.

"Perhaps! I still have to keep an ace up my sleeve..."

Tang Jingtian felt a stir in his heart, touched a strand of white hair in his bosom, and made the worst-case plan.

A moment later, above the Tianyi Pavilion, a divine light shot straight into the sky, splitting heaven and earth apart, and six terrifying auras shook the entire Tianshan Sect, with boundless divine might, all emitting the supreme aura of the Divine Ability Realm.

Six Divine Ability Realm experts, standing in the Tianshan Sect, could contend with Half-Step Cave Heaven; and if the Tianshan Sect's protective formation were activated, even if a true Cave Heaven Realm expert arrived, they would likely not fare well.

These six figures were the Tianshan Six Swords: Fei Hongjin, Gui Zhongming, Mao Huanlian, Yi Lanzhu, Zhang Huazhao, and Wu Qiongyao!

Behind these six figures, another figure appeared, looming, and in his old and slightly decaying aura, there was a destructive aura.

This person was Yang Yuncong, the only expert from the previous generation's Tianshan Three Swords still alive in the world!

Facing this danger of destruction, Yang Yuncong also appeared.

And with Yang Yuncong's appearance, these seven figures appeared, as if they had truly transformed into the Tianshan Seven Swords, seven sword lights, brilliant and dazzling, like seven great suns, hanging over Tianshan, covering heaven and earth.

"Who dares to offend my Tianshan Sect?!"

Yang Yuncong spoke, his voice old, but his prestige remained, like an ancient fierce tiger, resounding through the long sky, pressing down on the universe.

Beside him, the other Tianshan Six Swords followed closely behind!
