The first floor in the world.

"Sir, you are finally back."

Seeing Li Wuji pushing open the door and walking in, Cao Zian stood up in a hurry and walked towards him quickly.

"Something happened?"

Li Wuji frowned, looked at Cao Zian who looked anxious, and asked doubtfully.

"No, no."

"Young master has misunderstood. My subordinates have prepared a big gift for you and are eagerly waiting for you to return and hand it over to you."

Cao Zian hurriedly waved his hands and said, with a face full of joy.

"What kind of gift is so mysterious?"

Li Wuji breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the rosewood box on the table, and asked with a smile.

"Master, please look!"

Cao Zian smiled, and as he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pressed lightly on the mechanism of the wooden box. As a soft sound came, he saw that the wooden box actually separated a crack from the middle, and slowly split to both sides!

Immediately afterwards, a long sword with golden dragon patterns engraved all over was revealed! There was also a red gem inlaid at the end of the sword hilt!

Seeing this sword, Li Wuji involuntarily opened his eyes and was instantly attracted!

Although he hadn't unsheathed it, he could already feel the powerful sword energy coming towards him!

"What a sword!"

Li Wuji couldn't help but praise loudly.

"This sword is called Heaven's Punishment. It was used by the late Emperor when he was conquering the world. Because it was stained with countless blood and full of hostility, it eventually backfired on the late Emperor and made him seriously ill!"

"Later, when the Qilin Heavenly Master came to know about it, he regarded the sword as an ominous object and sealed it on the cliff below the Qilin Temple! Remembering the years of fighting with the late emperor, the Lord secretly ordered someone to retrieve it quietly, and has kept it secretly for eternity.

Under the pond."

"My lord once said that this sword witnessed the history of our country from war to prosperity and should not be regarded as an ominous thing. However, the late emperor listened to the slander and abandoned this sword."

"After the young master was assassinated by Xue Chi that day, his subordinates remembered this sword, so they specially ordered eight hundred miles to rush to get the sword and send it to the capital. With it, the young master will also have it the next time he encounters danger.

I have a sharp weapon to protect myself."

Cao Zian looked at Li Wuji and said with some emotion.

"Heavenly punishment?!"

“Nice name!”

Li Wuji murmured to himself, slowly took out the sword, took a deep breath, and pulled out the sword instantly!

As a dragon roar sounded, a dazzling sword light illuminated the entire room, and the sword energy was everywhere!

Immediately afterwards, Li Wuji incredibly felt a strong bloody aura, and then found that countless ferocious roaring ghosts suddenly appeared in front of him, roaring and getting into his body!

Li Wuji was shocked, and then he found that the long sword kept trembling and almost flew away from his hand. The sound of dragon roars could not be heard, and countless ghosts kept attacking him, as if they were going to devour his soul!

Li Wuji hurriedly closed his eyes, his steps were slightly wrong, his body sank, and he condensed his true energy on his right arm. He held the sword hilt tightly and used his arm as a conductor to continuously inject a steady stream of true energy into the shaking sword body.

Among!

Cao Zian's face changed drastically. He couldn't help but take two steps back. He looked at Li Wuji in horror. He didn't understand what was happening. He looked anxiously at the big beads of sweat on Li Wuji's forehead.

fall!

After a long time, the restless sword finally gradually returned to calm, and the sound of the dragon's roar suddenly disappeared.

Li Wuji breathed a sigh of relief, slowly opened his eyes, looked at the Heavenly Punishment Sword in his hand in disbelief, and couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"Master, your eyes..."

Cao Zian on the side also breathed a sigh of relief, pointed at Li Wuji, and said hesitantly.

"What?"

Li Wuji turned to look at Cao Zian and asked in confusion.

"The moment the young master just opened his eyes, both eyes were blood red, as deep as the sea of ​​blood, but they flashed away."

Cao Zian said hesitantly, his face full of surprise.

"It should be caused by the violent energy of this sword. No wonder it is considered an ominous thing by people. This sword is bloodthirsty and has infinite power. If I hadn't suppressed it with my true energy, I would have died under this sword long ago!"

Li Wuji smiled and slowly explained.

"So evil?!"

Cao Zian opened his mouth in surprise and asked in disbelief.

Although he had seen this sword before, he had never touched it, and even Pang Xun had never killed an enemy with it, so the people in Tianyuan did not know how powerful the Tianxing Sword was.

"People have hearts, swords also have hearts, and everything has spirit. It is no wonder that it is the sword of the emperor."

"With all my skills, I can't completely suppress the violence of this sword. It shows that this sword is not an extraordinary object. It is indeed a great gift!"

Li Wuji glanced at Cao Zian with satisfaction and said with appreciation.

"It won't hurt the young master, right?"

Cao Zian hesitated and asked worriedly.

He still has lingering fears when he thinks about the scene just now.

"Won't."

"It's just that since this sword was used by the late emperor, I'm afraid I won't be able to carry it with me on a daily basis. Even if it is protected by a sword case, it will inevitably arouse suspicion."

Li Wuji waved his hand and said helplessly.

"This is simple. Young master can find a sword slave to take with him to protect the sword. In times of crisis, he can just take it out and use it."

Cao Zian smiled and said.

"Sword slave?"

"Where can I find such a person?"

Li Wuji frowned and said thoughtfully.

Immediately afterwards, the two of them looked at each other and looked out the door in unison.

"Lu Yuan!"

Cao Zian smiled and immediately shouted out the door.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yuan opened the door and walked in.

Cao Zian took the sheathed Tianxing Sword from Li Wuji, placed it again in the sword box, and then found a piece of black cloth to wrap the sword box tightly.

Seeing Cao Zian's actions, Lu Yuan looked confused.

"This sword is the master's sword. From today on, you are the slave of this sword. You must carry this sword box with you and follow the master!"

"The sword is there but the man is there, the sword destroys the man and kills him! There is no room for error! Do you hear me?"

Cao Zian brought the sword box wrapped in black cloth to Lu Yuan and said in a deep voice with a serious look on his face.

"yes!"

After Lu Yuan heard this, he knelt on the ground without hesitation and said decisively.

After seeing Cao Zian handing the sword box to Lu Yuan, Li Wuji nodded with satisfaction, with a knowing smile on his lips.

From then on, there was a swordsman carrying a sword box beside Li Wuji. However, because the sword box was wrapped in black cloth, outsiders had no idea what he was carrying on his back.

...

Capital Guards.

Command post.

"Lord Lu, why are you here? If you have any orders, just send someone here. Why do you need to go there yourself?"

Luo Ping stood up slowly, looked respectfully at Lu Zhengping who was sitting on the chair, and said with a smile.

"It's a very important matter, and I don't feel at ease when others come to me."

Lu Zhengping said in a deep voice while drinking tea.

What he said was of great importance, but he acted carelessly.

"What are you referring to, sir? Even if you say it bluntly, I will do my best in this humble position."

Luo Ping cupped his hands and said tentatively.

"Find an excuse and take someone to the first floor of the world to investigate."

Lu Zhengping said lightly while blowing the tea leaves in the cup.

"The best building in the world?!"

"That's Wuji...Li'anhou's territory..."
