"How many people have escaped from Jianhu Lake?" Lin Bai asked.

Su Jin said: "At that time, a disaster was imminent. The leader ordered us to escape. How many people could escape? Who would care about how many people escaped?"

Lin Bai smiled bitterly and said, "That's right. When disaster strikes, we will all fly away!"

"Then why did you bring me to Jianhu?"

Su Jin looked at Lin Bai and said seriously: "For the Sword Scripture!"

"Sword Scripture?" Lin Bai was stunned.

Su Jin said: "On the ancient continent, there are five major scriptures today, namely the Sword Sutra, the Knife Sutra, the Buddhist Sutra, the Dao Sutra, and the Fist Sutra."

"These five great scriptures are said to be the ultimate martial arts on the ancient continent, that is, they have reached the pinnacle and no one can surpass it!"

"The Buddhist Sutra, one of the five major scriptures, is in Foyuan Temple in Xizhou."

"The Book of Swords, one of the five great scriptures, has been lost and even the Central Holy Kingdom can't find it!"

"The Dao Jing and the Boxing Jing, one of the five major scriptures, are both in the hands of the Central Holy Kingdom!"

"Today, the "Tao Jing" is in the hands of the Central Holy Kingdom's national master, and the "Fist Jing" is in the hands of Prince Rong, one of the four princes of the Holy Kingdom!"

"The only "Sword Book" is in Jianhu, but the "Sword Book" Jianhu obtained is only a fragment."

Su Jin whispered.

"I told you before that the guards of Longhe County arrested me. One reason is because the Central Holy Kingdom issued an order, and the guards of Longhe County must obey it. The other reason is because Longhe County's guards arrested me. The eunuch wants to take the Book of Swords as his own!"

Su Jin said calmly.

Lin Bai followed Su Jin into the ruined palace of Jianhu while listening to Su Jin talk about these past events.

Every few steps he took, Su Jin found traces of the guards and immediately started to kill them.

But after every use of spiritual power, he would vomit blood continuously. Obviously, every time he used spiritual power, his injuries would be much more serious.

Lin Bai said: "Stop using your spiritual power, otherwise your injuries will become more and more serious."

Su Jin shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, people who are about to die can't escape!"

"Lin Bai, listen to me!"

"After I escaped from Sword Lake, I was not in a hurry to leave Longhe County. Instead, I hid inside it until I discovered that Sword Lake had been completely destroyed."

"And all the warriors in Sword Lake are dead!"

"But I absolutely cannot let the Sword Scripture be lost and sealed in dust forever!"

"And I also tried to get the Sword Scripture back then, but I failed to pass the test!"

"So, I must find a swordsman wizard to help inherit the sword scripture, lest the orthodoxy of Sword Lake be ruined!"

"Therefore, after I saw the destruction of Jianhu, I spent all my belongings to buy a panacea, suppressed my injuries, survived, and went to Dongzhou to find you!"

Su Jin said.

"Why did you choose me to inherit the Sword Scripture?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

Su Jin said: "You are indeed not my first choice!"

"I have considered the disciples of the Sword God family. After all, they are one of the strongest families in sword training on the ancient continent!"

"However, the Sword God family already has its own Taoist heritage. Even if they get the "Sword Book", it will only be one more sword treasure in their family's treasure house!"

"Excluding the disciples of the Sword God Family, it will be very difficult to find a powerful sword cultivator on the ancient continent!"

"And just at that time, news came from Dongzhou that you were expelled from Dongzhou Academy and became a casual cultivator!"

"And you are also known as the strongest swordsman in Dongzhou since Lin Duo, and you are even more famous as a monster swordsman!"

"Then you become my first choice!"

"I went to Dongzhou to look for you for a long time. I went to Dongzhou Academy and Shenwu Kingdom, but I couldn't find any trace of you. When I was disheartened and wanted to return to the Central Holy Kingdom, how many people could I kill for Sword Lake? When I was just killing a few more people, you actually appeared in front of me from the sky!"

"Lin Bai, tell me...is this the will of God?"

"Is it true that God will destroy my sword lake?"

Su Jin looked at Lin Bai excitedly and said.

Lin Bai looked normal and remained silent.

Su Jin smiled and said: "And after I met you and guessed that you were a descendant of the Eighteen Immortals of Taoshan, I felt more and more that you are the best choice to inherit the "Sword Classic"!"

Lin Bai asked: "Why?"

Su Jin smiled and said: "Because no one needs strength more than you!"

Lin Bai looked at Su Jin.

Su Jin said: "The "Sword Classic" contains sword techniques that you can't imagine, and contains the most pinnacle sword techniques in this ancient continent!"

"Although Jianhu only got the fragments of the "Sword Sutra" back then, it was able to gain a foothold in the Central Holy Kingdom with just three moves of swordsmanship and magical power. You will know how powerful the swordsmanship and magical power in the "Sword Sutra" are. "

Lin Bai said: "In this case, I really want to see how extraordinary this "Sword Book" is."

Su Jin said: "You will see it, but the prerequisite is that you must have this qualification!"

"If you fail the assessment, you still won't get it!"

Su Jin said.

"Then if I don't get the Sword Scripture, what will you do?" Lin Bai asked.

Su Jin sighed helplessly: "Then I only hope that after I die, you can help Jianhu find a swordsman wizard and send him here to see if he can get the sword scripture, or after you rescue Lin Duo , come here and let Lin Duo inherit the Sword Scripture!"

"If it hadn't been for Lin Duo's sudden accident that year, it is estimated that the Sword Scripture would not have been under the Sword Lake and covered with dust for such a long time!"

"What a pity, what a pity."

Su Jin shook his head and walked deep into the mountains.

On the ancient road, he saw two guards coming towards him. Su Jin raised his hand and waved, and two sword lights flew out to kill the two men.

As he walked forward, Lin Bai saw corpses all over the ground and the earth dyed red.

I saw a collapsed palace and a scene of ruins.

In the end, Lin Bai and Su Jin walked through countless ruins and came to the edge of a lake with a diameter of one thousand meters.

Standing on the shore, Su Jin looked at this very ordinary lake and said lightly: "We're here!"

"Are you here?" Lin Bai was stunned, looked around, and asked, "Is this where the "Sword Book" is located?"

Su Jin nodded slightly and said, "It's in this lake!"

Lin Bai frowned and looked at the lake. He couldn't feel any restrictions from the magic circle, nor could he feel anything weird.

Su Jin chuckled and said, "Isn't it hard to believe that the secret skill of our Sword Lake sect is actually hidden in this inconspicuous lake?"

Lin Bai said: "If you hadn't brought me here, otherwise, I would never have imagined that there is a peerless scripture hidden here!"

"The little one hides in the forest, the big one hides in the city!" Su Jin smiled proudly.
