Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 943 The Missed Sword Master

Yu Ziqi, Shi Lan, and all the young people in the Shushan tribe who were over twelve and under twenty years old, all left Shushan under the forcible arrangements of the great elder.

There are no other escorts, because among these people, there are already many young people with good skills, and there are even some Yu Yuan guards, which are theoretically enough to protect themselves.

Among the remaining clan members, women, children and the elderly were all arranged by the elder to temporarily live together, and were ordered not to participate in the battle. Even if the enemy invaded Shushan, they should just surrender obediently and not resist.

As for whether they would obey the order, the great elder was not worried.

This group of people are either old and frail and unable to fight, or they have children to take care of and cannot leave their children to fight to the death.

However, it is precisely because of these reasons that it is difficult for this group of men to cross the mountains and escape from Minshan unharmed, so they were not directly arranged to leave. At this time, the Qin army blocked the relatively flattest road out of the mountain, making Shushan's People have to take some more rugged and difficult wild roads.

Finally, following the great elder, those who can participate in the battle are basically young people between the ages of twenty and forty.

To be honest, he once considered giving up resistance completely and surrendering to the empire, but he gave up this idea under the light of the Fuso tree.

Shushan can send away young people in order to continue to exist and retain the fire, and can make the old, weak, women and children give up resistance to avoid unnecessary casualties, but Shushan cannot really give up the Fuso sacred tree that has been guarding for thousands of years to others, especially when promoting this The mastermind behind everything that happened was related to the Yin Yang family.

Of course they are unable to fight against the empire, but resistance can fail, but they cannot fail to resist.

………………

Suppressing the sadness of farewell and regaining the fighting spirit to fight, the last remaining garrison team of more than a thousand people around the great elder continued to prepare to defend against the Qin army's attack.

In fact, there is not much that can be done, except to set up some not-so-sophisticated traps in advance. At most, they will delay the Qin army and not cause much actual damage.

At this time, the Great Elder of Shushan and Shi Qing were not in the defensive team, but quietly left Shanyang Mian and went to the location of Yu Yuan's seal.

Both of them knew very well that the sacred tree was destined to be unsustainable, and once something happened to the sacred tree, Yu Yuan's seal would change drastically. They must guard it at all times and be prepared to suppress the seal.

Once they lose the protection of the divine tree's power, Yu Yuan's guards will become a type of people who must not approach Yu Yuan's seal, because they will be completely eroded in a very short period of time.

At this time, the only people up and down Shushan who can suppress the seal are the Great Elder and Shi Qing, the princess of Shushan.

Of course, the price... was huge, but they had no choice.

As for the upcoming battle in the tribe, the two of them were of little value. They neither knew how to command nor did they need to be there to boost morale. In comparison, guarding Yu Yuan's seal was more important.

It didn't take long for the long journey to be completed under the eager footsteps of the two great elders.

When they approached the already very familiar octagonal ice platform, the cold air penetrated their skin, and the almost freezing coldness suddenly poured into their minds, which eased their agitated hearts a little.

The two of them did not continue to approach the ice platform because they could not stand the cold air that could almost freeze their souls.

No one up and down Shushan could bear it. It was precisely because of this, and after a period of observation, that the situation of Yu Yuan's seal had indeed stabilized, and the Great Elder later stopped arranging people to guard it. The two of them just looked at the Bajiao Ice Platform from a distance and waited quietly.

According to the Great Elder's estimation, Shushan might not be able to support even one day today and would fall, so for both of them, everything should end today.

At this time, under the extremely surprised gazes of the Great Elder and Shi Qing, Gu Xun appeared from behind the ice platform with a look of sudden realization.

As he walked towards the great elder, he murmured, "I just said I overlooked something, and it turned out to be this...that means...an unexpected surprise!"

Gu Xun now finally remembered what he missed last night.

Shilan should not be able to get close to the Bajiao Ice Platform!
  Theoretically, the Ice Soul Cold Air Array will seal all the Ice Soul Cold Air within the formation in a cycle, but the theory is just a theory. In fact, as time goes by, the cold air will continue to seep out and leak out, causing the environment around the ice platform to deteriorate. It's getting worse little by little, and people who don't have deep internal strength can't get close to it.

Last night, Shi Lan's position at the beginning was quite suitable and had little impact. However, when she was hiding from the big leopard and Xiao Hei, she once took her to the ice platform, where the coldest place was, but she behaved almost If nothing happened, it meant that she was not affected by the cold energy of the ice soul.

At that time, Gu Xun ignored the influence of the ice soul's cold energy due to habit, and did not provide additional protection to Shi Lan... which meant that she was immune to the influence purely on her own.

Being able to be immune to Wu Zhu's ice soul cold energy can only lead to one conclusion - Shi Lan must be a qualified person for the ice soul sword!
  It really came with no effort. Gu had been searching for several years but still had no clue about the perfect candidate, and he just suddenly appeared.

Although he wasn't sure at first, it's not too late to find it now.

As for whether giving the Ice Soul Sword to Shi Lan would create a powerful enemy in the future, Gu Xun didn't care, otherwise he wouldn't have given the Blue Light Sword to Xue Nu.

All grudges and grudges will be reduced to nothing after a hundred years, and the Seven Swords will continue to be passed down.

Looking at Gu Xun walking over step by step, the Great Elder and Shi Qing also regained their composure after getting over the initial shock.

The two of them had guessed that Gu Xun might also be in the imperial army this time, but they didn't expect to meet so unexpectedly at Yu Yuan's seal.

The great elder stroked his beard, and his old and generous laughter sounded, "Haha... I didn't expect to meet Mr. Gu in such a hasty today."

Gu Xun came back from his thoughts, nodded slightly to the great elder, and responded, "To be honest, I'm a little surprised too."

"You are not in the tribe at this time, so what are you doing here?"

"It seems a little early to worry about something going wrong with Yu Yuan's seal, right?"

Shi Qing didn't know whether he should hate Gu Xun, who was also a member of the empire, or whether he should talk things over and look at the other person's identity magnanimously, not talking to him at all, and just looking at him with complicated eyes.

The First Elder was very open-minded and didn't care about Gu Xun's identity at all. He still replied leisurely, "Lao Chen and Qing'er can't really help with the clan's defensive preparations, so they simply came over in advance to guard Yu. Seal of the Abyss.”

"Mr. Gu appears here, he must be worried about something going wrong with Yu Yuan's seal, right?"
