Chapter 259
Ren Xiaoyao sighed and continued to explain: "The lifespan of demon beasts is very short. Generally speaking, they dare not fight with humans because they are too weak to defeat humans. Therefore, the cultivation of demon beasts has always been very slow, and they can only improve their strength by devouring human essence, flesh, blood, souls, etc."
"Why can the sword ghost communicate with spirits?" asked a disciple.
"Because the Sword Ghost itself is part of the spiritual sword! And the higher the grade of this sword, the more powerful the spiritual consciousness contained in it, and the richer the spiritual energy. What we are looking for this time is such a sword! We can get the sword if we go to Blood Moon Mountain." Ren Xiaoyao said.
Everyone nodded as if they had suddenly understood something, saying, "So that's how it is."
"Master, what exactly are you talking about?" someone else asked curiously.
"It's a token!" Ren Xiaoyao said, and took out a token and taught everyone how to use the token.
"This token was left by my master. It can call on all the sects in the world to form an alliance and then work together to deal with the Sword Ghost of Blood Moon Mountain!" Ren Xiaoyao said in a deep voice.
"What? There is such a treasure?"
“That’s amazing!”
“This is an opportunity for our sect.”
"Then let's go!" Before he finished speaking, Ren Xiaoyao raised his flying sword, broke through the barrier of the hall, and flew towards the direction of Blood Moon Mountain.
Blood Moon Mountain is located in the west of the world, far away from the Heavenly Sword Sect. The mountain is called Blood Moon Mountain because it is always covered with blood mist. On the night of the full moon, a faint blood-colored moonlight appears in the blood mist, as if the entire mountain is dyed red with blood.
Ren Xiaoyao was riding his flying sword through the blood mist, with dozens of disciples following behind him. Everyone held their breath and was on high alert.
"Master, are we going through the blood mist?" a disciple asked nervously.
"That's right! This blood mist is the defense line set up by the Sword Ghost. Only by passing through this defense line can we reach the Blood Moon Mountain." Ren Xiaoyao explained.
"Go through? Isn't this blood mist very dangerous?" another disciple asked worriedly.
"That's right! This blood mist is indeed extremely dangerous, but as long as we stay vigilant and activate our protective magic weapons, we can resist the invasion of the blood mist." Ren Xiaoyao said, and a small tripod appeared in his hand, and the body of the tripod emitted a faint golden light.
"This is a magic weapon left by our master. It can resist the invasion of blood mist." Ren Xiaoyao explained.
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and activated their protective magic weapons.
Soon, everyone passed through the blood mist and arrived at the foot of Blood Moon Mountain.
Ren Xiaoyao glanced at the disciples, nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "I have already taught you how to use this token. Remember, its power is not used against ordinary enemies. It can only be used when facing a powerful opponent like the Sword Ghost."
A disciple hesitated for a moment and asked, "When do we set out?"
"Tomorrow." Ren Xiaoyao said firmly, "You should get a good rest tonight. We will set out for Blood Moon Mountain early tomorrow morning."
"Yes!" All the disciples responded in unison, with anticipation and excitement flashing in their eyes.
As night fell, Ren Xiaoyao came to the top of the mountain alone, looking at the starry sky, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. He knew that this trip to Blood Moon Mountain was not only a test, but also a battle of life and death. But he was confident that as long as everyone united as one, they would be able to defeat the powerful enemy and defend their homeland.
The next morning, Ren Xiaoyao led all the disciples to set out. They crossed mountains and ridges, experienced hardships, and finally arrived at Blood Moon Mountain a month later.
The Blood Moon Mountain was extremely steep, with clouds and mist lingering in the mountains, like a fairyland on earth. But Ren Xiaoyao knew that behind this beauty, there were endless dangers.
As soon as they reached the mountain, they felt a strong hostility. The breath of the sword ghost was getting closer and closer, and Ren Xiaoyao nervously grasped the sword in his hand.
At this moment, a disciple suddenly exclaimed: "Look over there!"
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a figure slowly walking towards them. It was the Sword Ghost.
The sword ghost looked at them with a sneer and said, "You are finally here."
Ren Xiaoyao gripped the hilt of the sword tightly and shouted, "Now that we are here, we won't let you hurt anyone again!"
The sword ghost's eyes became fierce, and he immediately rushed towards everyone. A fierce battle began...
"Yes, Master, you must explain it to us quickly!"
Ren Xiaoyao was surrounded by his disciples. He smiled helplessly and patiently explained the Sword Ghost's origin, characteristics, and preferences in detail.
After hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.
It turns out that the Sword Ghost is a psychic monster, so will it attack humans?
"No matter if it is a monster that attacks humans or not, we must be careful when we go to Blood Moon Mountain this time! What should we do if the sword ghost suddenly attacks us?" said the female disciple anxiously.
Ren Xiaoyao pondered for a moment and said, "Then you guys take a rest for a night. Tomorrow morning, I will take you out to Blood Moon Mountain!"
"Master! Let me go with you!" said a female disciple.
"Yes, Master, I want to go too."
Ren Xiaoyao shook his head and refused: "No, what you have to do now is to stay here peacefully and don't leave Qingzhu Mountain! In this way, you can avoid the pursuit of the sword ghost."
Seeing this, the disciples had no choice but to agree. After all, their cultivation was too weak, and going to Blood Moon Mountain would only be a burden to their master, so they could only wait here for their master to come back.
The next morning, Ren Xiaoyao led them towards Blood Moon Mountain.
"It looks like I have to fight that sword ghost this time!" Ren Xiaoyao said to himself.
The group arrived at the foot of Blood Moon Mountain, and Ren Xiaoyao instructed: "You guys wait here, I'll go explore the way first."
The disciples nodded in agreement, and Ren Xiaoyao walked up the mountain alone.
After walking for half an hour, Ren Xiaoyao saw a figure on the edge of the cliff in the distance. Upon closer inspection, it was the Sword Ghost.
Ren Xiaoyao's heart tightened, but then he took a deep breath and strode towards the Sword Ghost.
"Sword Ghost, I am Ren Xiaoyao, the leader of Qingzhu Mountain. I have come here specially to fight with you." Ren Xiaoyao shouted loudly.
The sword ghost turned around and stared at Ren Xiaoyao with a pair of red eyes.
"Hmph, the leader of Qingzhu Mountain? It sounds like a very high position, but in my eyes, you are just an insignificant existence." Sword Ghost said coldly.
Ren Xiaoyao was shocked. He didn't expect the sword ghost to be so arrogant. However, he refused to admit defeat: "Sword ghost, even though you are psychic, you can't underestimate the strength of us humans! Today, I will let you know what real swordsmanship is!"
After saying that, Ren Xiaoyao drew out the long sword from his waist, instantly leaped into the air, and swung out a sword light that shook the earth.
The sword ghost sneered and calmly swung out three claw shadows, easily shattering the sword light.
After Ren Xiaoyao landed, he secretly marveled at the strength of the Sword Ghost, but he did not give up. He knew that the Sword Ghost was a spiritual beast, and naturally had its pride and dignity, so he continued to taunt: "It seems that this sword technique still depends on strength! Although you are a spiritual beast, the one in front of you is the head of Qingzhu Mountain, Ren Xiaoyao!"
The Sword Ghost said arrogantly: "Then let me see what you, the head of Qingzhu Mountain, are capable of!"
Along the way, Ren Xiaoyao kept explaining to his disciples the habits and countermeasures of the Sword Ghost, hoping that they could gain something from this operation. The disciples listened with great interest and asked questions from time to time, which Ren Xiaoyao answered one by one.
After walking for about an hour, Blood Moon Mountain was already in sight. Ren Xiaoyao stopped and said to his disciples, "Okay, we have arrived at the foot of Blood Moon Mountain. Now I want to tell you some deeper information about the Sword Ghost."
The disciples immediately listened attentively. Ren Xiaoyao continued, "Although the sword ghost is a spiritual monster, it is not inherently evil. The reason why they attack humans is because of human greed and ignorance. When humans destroy their homes and capture them, they will fight back."
"Then Master, how can we avoid being attacked by the sword ghost?" asked a disciple.
Ren Xiaoyao smiled and said, "It's actually very simple. As long as we don't touch their bottom line, they won't attack us. And the bottom line of the Sword Ghosts is their home. So, when we go to Blood Moon Mountain this time, we must try our best to avoid entering their territory."
The disciples expressed their understanding, and Ren Xiaoyao reminded them: "Also, although the sword ghosts are powerful, they also have weaknesses. That is their tails. As long as we can hit their tails, we can defeat them. However, this requires extremely high speed and accuracy, so you must practice more."
After hearing this, the disciples were eager to try and expressed their willingness to work hard to improve their martial arts. Ren Xiaoyao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, let's set off now."
After that, Ren Xiaoyao led his disciples to the depths of Blood Moon Mountain. Along the way, they did not encounter any danger and successfully arrived at the Sword Ghost's territory.
At this time, Ren Xiaoyao suddenly stopped and said to his disciples: "Okay, we have now entered the territory of the Sword Ghost. You must be careful and do not alarm them."
The disciples nodded and looked around nervously. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew and a dark shadow passed over their heads. Everyone was immediately panicked, but Ren Xiaoyao said calmly: "Don't be afraid, this is just a sword ghost patrolling its territory. As long as we don't touch its bottom line, it won't attack us."
The disciples were relieved after hearing this. At this moment, Ren Xiaoyao suddenly felt a strong breath coming from a distance. His face changed and he said to the disciples: "Quick, let's get out of here! The Sword Ghost King has discovered us!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately followed him and ran towards the outside of Blood Moon Mountain. However, the speed of the Sword Ghost King was far beyond their imagination, and he soon caught up with them.
Seeing that the situation was critical, Ren Xiaoyao said to his disciples, "You run quickly, I will stop it!" After that, he turned around and stood in front of the Sword Ghost King.
The disciples were filled with gratitude when they saw this. They knew that their master had decided to face the Sword Demon King alone in order to protect them. So, they all nodded in agreement and continued to run outside.
Ren Xiaoyao started a fierce battle with the Sword Ghost King. After a thrilling fight, Ren Xiaoyao finally found an opportunity and hit the Sword Ghost King's tail. The Sword Ghost King howled in pain and finally retreated.
Although Ren Xiaoyao was exhausted, his heart was filled with joy. He knew that he had successfully protected the safety of his disciples. And his disciples were waiting outside for his victorious return.
"Master, isn't it a bit too risky for us to go directly to Blood Moon Mountain like this?" a disciple couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, our trip to Blood Moon Mountain this time is indeed a bit risky." Ren Xiaoyao nodded and said seriously, "However, we can't give up what we should do because we are afraid of taking risks. You must remember that only through continuous experience can we grow."
“But Master, there are so many of us. What should we do if we encounter danger?” asked another disciple.
"I have thought about this question as well." Ren Xiaoyao replied, "When we go to Blood Moon Mountain this time, we must have a clear division of labor. I will be responsible for exploring the way ahead and dealing with dangers, and you will follow behind and try not to separate."
