บท 135: 135. Hidden Sword Sect
The youth turned his head and he saw a slender young man, who looked cold and refined, similar to the young masters he had seen in the city.
The youth didn't speak. But someone nearby did.
"Heh, want to carry someone to the peak? People have tried it in the past. But you have to be at least an acquired martial artist to do that. Body Refining martial artists face danger just by climbing themselves, let alone carrying someone."
Hidden Sword Sect welcomes all, regardless of background. Even acquired martial artists could join the sect. However, acquired martial artists must disperse all their inner power before joining Hidden Sword Sect. How many acquired martial artists have the courage?"
Many people shook their heads. The one thousand and eight stone steps of Hidden Sword Sect had stumped countless people. Carrying another person meant bearing their weight as well. It was such a steep and treacherous cliff. One misstep could send them both plummeting.
Lin Fei didn't speak. His eyes were on the youth. What others said didn't matter, he was waiting for the youth's decision.
The next moment, without hesitation, the youth knelt down with a "thud" and kowtowed to Lin Fei, "Please, take me up the mountain. I'll be forever grateful for your kindness!"
"Indeed, a clever one. Very well, let's go."
Lin Fei nodded. He was just intrigued and he thought the youth was promising. So he wanted to carry the youth up the mountain. That was all.
"Whoosh."
Lin Fei grabbed the youth with his right hand. And not only that, with his left hand, he picked up the youth's little sister, the seven or eight-year-old girl. He then took a step onto the stone steps.
Seeing this scene, many people at the foot of the mountain widened their eyes. Their gazes filled with disbelief. It wasn't enough for Lin Fei to carry one person. He was actually going to carry two?
The youth didn't expect Lin Fei to be willing to carry his sister as well. He was about to say something. But the next moment, he couldn't speak. Because Lin Fei's stride spanned more than a dozen meters. Holding two people in his hands, he walked as if strolling leisurely.
He headed towards the peak. It was called "walking." But in reality, Lin Fei's speed was beyond belief. The howling wind made it impossible for the youth to open his eyes or speak. So, he could only tightly close his mouth and eyes.
Seeing this scene, people at the foot of the mountain were dumbfounded. Never had anyone seen someone like Lin Fei, carrying two people and still walking briskly. Moreover, each step covered more than a dozen meters. They knew they had encountered a "master." Only those top martial artists possessed such abilities.
It didn't take long for Lin Fei to "walk" from the foot of the mountain to the peak. He saw the Hidden Sword Sect at the top of the mountain. In front of the gate of the Hidden Sword Sect, two disciples saw Lin Fei carrying two people up.
One was a youth and the other was a seven or eight-year-old girl. Carrying two people and strolling up the treacherous Hidden Sword Sect stone steps, it was obviously not an ordinary person. Therefore, the two disciples immediately greeted them.
Lin Fei took the initiative to ask: "I brought these two people to the peak. According to the rules of your Hidden Sword Sect, can they join the sect?"
The two Hidden Sword Sect disciples glanced at the somewhat dazed youth and little girl and then they nodded: "No problem. According to Hidden Sword Sect rules, no matter how one reaches the peak. As long as they are here and want to join Hidden Sword Sect, there is no problem. Are you two willing to join Hidden Sword Sect?"
The youth was the first to come to his senses. Immediately pulling his sister, they said in unison: "We are willing, we want to join Hidden Sword Sect!"
The youth was incredibly overjoyed. Who could have thought that he barely climbed the steps and was carried all the way from the foot of the mountain to the peak? Even his sister was brought to the peak as well.
The two of them joined Hidden Sword Sect together. This sudden happiness made the youth feel as if he were in a dream. However, the youth knew their benefactor was Lin Fei.
At this moment, the two Hidden Sword Sect disciples spoke solemnly: "Our Hidden Sword Sect welcomes all, without regard for one's background or age. As long as they reach the peak and are willing to join Hidden Sword Sect, they can.
However, if one is an acquired martial artist, one must first disperse their inner power. Considering you were able to carry two people to the peak, your inner power must be extremely profound. We wonder, are you willing to disperse your inner power and join the Hidden Sword Sect?"
What the two Hidden Sword Sect disciples said had precedents to follow.
In the history of the Hidden Sword Sect, there had even been martial artists at the twelfth level of the acquired realm who were unable to break through to the innate. They then came to the peak of the Hidden Sword Sect, voluntarily dispersed their inner power, and joined the sect.
Therefore, among the Hidden Sword Sect disciples, those who had once possessed profound inner power were not few. After all, for a loose martial artist to become innate was as difficult as reaching the sky.
If one dispersed their inner power and joined the Hidden Sword Sect, there might still be a glimmer of hope to advance to the innate realm. Of course, such people were ultimately in the minority. Those who could reach the twelfth level of the acquired realm were all geniuses.
Many would rather risk everything to attempt a breakthrough to the innate realm rather than be willing to disperse their inner power and start all over again.
At this moment, the youth looked at Lin Fei. If Lin Fei could also join the Hidden Sword Sect, wouldn't he become a fellow disciple with his benefactor?
"Benefactor, you're still so young. Even if you disperse your inner power, you will surely stand out and become the most outstanding disciple of the Hidden Sword Sect. I've heard that there are peerless swordsmen in the Hidden Sword Sect, with divine swordsmanship like immortal beings. If the benefactor also joins the Hidden Sword Sect, you will surely become a peerless swordsman!"
In the eyes of the youth, becoming a peerless swordsman of the Hidden Sword Sect would be the dream of his life. Lin Fei was so young, yet so powerful. Even if he dispersed his inner power, he would certainly not be inferior to others.
This was also what the two Hidden Sword Sect disciples were looking forward to. They also had high hopes for disciples like Lin Fei who had strong original strength but were willing to disperse their inner power and join the Hidden Sword Sect.
Once such disciples joined the Hidden Sword Sect, most of them would become outstanding among the disciples of the sect. Even some could truly advance to the innate realm and become martial arts masters!
Lin Fei looked at the two Hidden Sword Sect disciples. Then he looked at the youth. He shook his head slightly and said calmly: "I am a saber practitioner, I don't practice the sword. I won't join the Hidden Sword Sect."
"Eh?"
The expressions of the two Hidden Sword Sect disciples changed.
"You've come to the peak. You don't practice the sword, nor do you want to be a disciple. So, what is the purpose of your visit to our Hidden Sword Sect?"
Lin Fei glanced at the gate of the Hidden Sword Sect. Then he gave a faint smile.
"I don't want to be a disciple, I've come to pay my respects to the mountain!"
The next moment, the saber intent within Lin Fei's body was stimulated.
"Boom."
A terrifying saber intent soared into the sky. The vast saber intent aura instantly enveloped the airspace of the Hidden Sword Sect.
"Nine Profound Sect Lin Fei, especially here to pay respects to the Hidden Sword Sect!"
Lin Fei stood with his hands behind his back. His voice was very calm, but it was like a thunderbolt, penetrating deep into the Hidden Sword Sect. It even emitted bursts of rumbling sounds.
