Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 73: Sword God's Decision
"Then what do you think we should do?" After Shaoyang Jun's analysis, Qiong Baji realized that things were not as simple as he thought. In order to protect the safety of his family, Qiong Baji, the Sword God, had to ask the person in front of him for advice.

Finally hearing what he wanted, Shao Yang Jun finally said his purpose: "Join a powerful force and use the power of this force to ensure that your son will have a worry-free life."

After hearing this, Qiong Baji laughed heartily: "Hahahaha, so this is what you had in mind. But you underestimated me, Qiong Baji. Do you think that with the power of just the Twelve Evils of Tianchi, you can make me willingly let you do whatever you want?" The implication was that he was tempted, but the power of Shaoyang Jun alone was not up to his standards.

Hearing this, Shao Yang Jun knew that the Sword God had fallen into his trap, and immediately laughed and said, "Senior, you are wrong. The ghost demon just now is only one of the Twelve Demons of Tianchi. His martial arts are of medium level, and the top masters among them are still hiding. What's more, this organization is just established by me to gather intelligence in the martial arts world. How can you be blinded by this one thing?"

"So, you have been prepared for this. From taking the sword before to the duel with me just now, and now wanting to recruit me as your subordinate, everything was within your calculations. How can you determine that I am willing to be inferior to others?" Qiong Baji asked the key question. How could the dignity of the Sword God be conquered in this way?

Shao Yangjun smiled and said, "If you were alone, I would not dare to say such a bold statement, but now you have someone to worry about, so you must put him first in everything. I just analyzed the pros and cons for you, as the saying goes, "Parents who love their children will always make plans for them." In this chaotic martial arts world, how can you, as a loving father, not make plans for your beloved son?"

"Ha, you're right. But you still haven't told me what gives you the confidence to let me work for you."

"This pill is our confidence." Shaoyang Jun threw a pill to Qiong Baji.

Seeing this, Qiong Baji asked in doubt: "What is this pill?"

"It is just a gift for you to join our party." Then, Shaoyang Jun handed him the orb of the soul and blood of the son of Youqiong Baji and a token, and said, "After taking the elixir, if you are willing to join our party, go to the Huanchen Buwu place in the East Wulin, and someone will receive you and rebuild your body for you. If you are not willing, after taking this elixir, find someone else to rebuild your body for you, and then retire."

After saying this, Shaoyang Jun realized that the purpose of this visit had been achieved and wanted to go somewhere else.

Seeing this, Qiong Baji asked, "Where are you going?"

"Of course I will go to Su Huanzhen to collect the promise he owes me. By the way, after some disputes, I still don't know your son's name. Can you tell me, senior?" Shaoyang Jun asked the question that had been in his mind for many years.

"Ha." Qiong Baji, who had been worried for many years, was about to be resolved, and said, "My son, his name will be "Qiong Shisanxian"."

"Well, goodbye. We'll see each other someday if we have the chance." Shaoyang Jun then headed towards Yunmei Inn.

Just after Shaoyang Jun left, Qiong Baji took the pill given by Shaoyang Jun, and his body underwent miraculous changes.

Under the effect of the elixir, the Qiong Baji body, which had been in deep for many years, began to recover gradually. At the same time, the elixir turned into internal strength, making its foundation even stronger.

All these made him no longer look old; his hair and beard turned completely black again, and his face returned to that of a strong man in his forties.

When Qiong Baji saw the efficacy of the medicine, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "A single pill can have such miraculous effects. Lord Shaoyang, you have aroused the interest of me, Qiong Baji. Well, I will go to Huanchen Buwu as you wish to find out. If it is really as you said, what if I, Qiong Baji, can be of use to you for the sake of the safety of my children? Hahaha." Then he set off for Huanchen Buwu in Dongwulin.
-
I am the dividing line of water words -——
Qiong Baji traveled a long way and arrived at the headquarters of Dongwulin Huanchen Buwu, the Hall of Xuanlong in less than three days.

All we saw along the way was a prosperous scene. The people of the Eastern Wulin lived and worked in peace and contentment under the rule of Huanchen Buwu. Compared with the chaotic Central Plains and the three major martial arts worlds of the east, south and north, it was as if they were living in a paradise. At the same time, we knew that the leader of the organization was called the Soul Burial Emperor.

As Qiong Baji traveled along the way, while admiring Huanchen Buwu's ability to govern the place, he gradually returned to his roots.

When they arrived at the place where the Xuanlong Palace was located, they saw a majestic and magnificent imperial city standing in the middle of the plain. Under the boundless blue sky, the reflection of infinite red, the Xuanlong Palace fully displayed the style of the phoenix, which was incomparable to any other bird. The magnificent flag flying in the city was a symbol of its incomparable power.

While Qiong Baji was full of admiration, he also had the desire to test what the people in the city could do. In order not to be looked down upon by others, he also wanted to see the mind of the Soul Burial Emperor to see if he was really worthy of his service.

Now that his depression has been completely eliminated and his skills have reached a new level, he no longer hides his sword intent. He approaches the soldiers at the city gate and threatens to challenge the Soul Burial Emperor.

Seeing that the newcomer was very powerful, the gatekeeper did not dare to be careless and immediately went inside to report the situation and reported it to the higher authorities.

In less than a moment, a man holding a heavy black iron sword came flying out from inside. “Whoever dares to act rashly in front of our Imperial City, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, Gu Chengyi, will not show mercy.” It was Gu Chengyi, the former lord of Hengyue City, who was conquered by the Soul Burial Emperor and subdued in Dongwulin.

At the same time that Gu Chengyi appeared, Qiong Baji suddenly felt two auras locking onto him, and couldn't help but smile: "I don't want to think that there are two mice hiding in the dark, why don't they show up together."

Hiding in the dark were Zui Gufu and Qi Sha·Xiao Nan Guan (I wrote that wrong before, sorry. I have corrected it now), who were both deputy commanders of the Four Forbidden Lords. At the same time, the two of them locked onto Qiong Ba Ji with bows and crossbows, and they couldn't help but be secretly frightened. They felt that the person they locked onto had his hands crossed and embraced on his chest. It seemed casual, but there was no flaw. As a result, the two did not dare to shoot easily, and could only hope that Gu Chengyi could create a flaw for them.

Gu Chengyi has been friends with the two for many years and has had many battles together, so it is natural that they have a tacit understanding.

Without saying anything, he stepped forward with a knife to create opportunities for the two men.

The first move was a killing move, Yuangu's slash.

When Qiong Baji saw this killing move, he stood still and just bent his fingers. The fingertips emitted a swift sword energy which easily shattered the knife energy. The remaining force pierced through Gu Chengyi's right shoulder where the knife was held (in puppet shows, weapons are always held with the left hand due to the needs of puppetry, but in reality, weapons are always held with the right hand, so the reality is mainly used). The weapon was slashed across the mountain and fell out of his hand immediately.

When Zui Gufu and Xiao Nanguan saw their friend injured, they naturally wanted to shoot arrows to help. They used their own unique skills, one to shoot through the clouds and the thunder, and the other to neutralize the power of Gu Chengyi.

However, they didn't know that Qiong Baji already knew the two's position. When the two bent their bows and drew their arrows, he sent out two sword energies from behind, which broke the arrows of the two men as soon as they were shot out. Then he sent out two more sword energies, and the two men were unable to dodge in time, and were instantly knocked out of their hiding place, wounded and vomiting red from their mouths.

The three of them were the masters who dominated the Eastern Wulin in the past, but today they were unable to defeat Qiong Baji even once. They were secretly shocked and wondered when such masters appeared in the Wulin.

But their loyalty to their lord made the three men ignore their wounds and fight on.

Gu Chengyi ignored his own pain, held the knife with his intact left hand, and used his knife moves again, and his heart was as ancient as ever. Zui Gufu and Xiao Nanguan also fired arrows to help.

Qiong Baji admired the loyalty of the three men and at the same time, he flexed his fingers, and thousands of sword energies emerged from his fingertips, but his intention was to hurt rather than kill, showing the pinnacle of swordsmanship.

While easily defeating the three people's joint attack, the sword energy went straight towards the three people.

Just when Gu Chengyi, who was in the front, was about to be attacked, a figure appeared in front of him and blocked all the Eight Extremes sword moves for the three of them.
