Eternal Sword

Chapter 550 Sword Sect
"She's not actually dead."

Ye Xuan said: "When one cultivates to that level, he has many means to save his life. It is difficult for people of the same level to kill each other. Moreover, that person was cultivating the Xuanmen technique, and my uncle was unable to keep her."

"Is Third Grandpa okay?"

Ye Anshi was the third child in the previous generation, and Ye Xuan’s father was the eldest, so Ye Yushi called him Jian Zong like that.

"Uncle and Queen Yin are both injured."

Ye Xuan said: "According to what my uncle said, the Queen of Yin should not show up in the next one or two years."

Although Ye Xuan did not mention the battle between the grandmasters in the capital, one can imagine how brutal the battle was as both sides suffered heavy losses.

"Queen of Yin?"

Chen Tang was a little confused.

Ye Xuan said: "The true identity of Queen Mother Yu is actually one of the four chief priests of Xuantian Sect. She is called 'Queen Yin' in the sect."

Chen Tang asked, "There are four high priests. Han Shi is the drunkard, and the Queen of Yin is the Queen Mother Yu. The other two may die in the battle of the capital?"

"should not."

Ye Xuan shook his head and said, "The identity of the High Priest is the highest level of secret in Xuantian Sect. Very few people know their origins."

"During the battle in the capital, in addition to Queen Yin, Lord Lei, and Master Feng, two Yuanying Zhenjuns from Donglaizhou also came from Xuantian Sect. It's a pity that they saw the situation was not good and fled in advance."

"These two people should not be the high priest."

Chen Tang asked, "Doesn't there any other clues about Senior Ye Yun who joined Xuantian Sect?"

Ye Xuan shook his head and said, "I didn't find any identity information. I only know the titles of the remaining two. One of them is named 'Qianbian' and the other is named 'Lingbao'."

Chen Tang pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of a possibility. He said, "The Xuantian Sect has always had contact with the Dongyi tribe. The Dongyi tribe also sent a lot of people over to deal with the change in the capital. Could this Qianbian High Priest be the hidden sect leader of the Dongyi tribe?"

After a brief pause, Chen Tang continued, "There is another point. Xia Yuanxian's Xuanmen master is Yin Hou, but many of his martial arts heritages come from the Dongyi tribe. He even knows the body movement skills like 'Floating Light and Shadow'."

"If that Hidden Sect member and Queen Yin are both high priests, it is possible that Xia Yuanxian could get in touch with the Hidden Sect through Queen Yin's relationship and practice the martial arts of the Dongyi tribe."

"possible."

Ye Xuan nodded and said, "And the name Qianbian may also imply that the Hidden Sect has ever-changing identities, appearances, and methods."

"What about the Lingbao High Priest? What do you think?"

Ye Xuan asked proactively.

Chen Tang smiled helplessly and said, "There is no clue about this person. I really can't guess."

"It doesn't matter."

Ye Xuan said: "In the battle of the capital, the Xuantian Sect was severely damaged and existed in name only. The hundreds of thousands of Xuantian Sect members in Wujiang and Jiangzhou are almost all warriors. They can't stop the well-trained Northern Expedition Army."

"The remaining two high priests can't cause much trouble."

The three of them walked and talked, and in the early morning they arrived near a remote mountain.

There is no one living around, and only a winding path can be seen, appearing and disappearing from time to time.

Ye Xuan dismounted, held the drunkard's body in his arms, and began to move forward along the path.

Chen Tang and two others followed closely behind.

After walking for a while, the four of them passed through a jungle in the early morning light. Suddenly, the view in front of them opened up. In the open space ahead was a yard surrounded by a fence.

The layout of the courtyard is very simple and plain, with an old plaque hanging on the door beam just above.

There are three big words written on it: Zuixianju!

Chen Tang took a look at the handwriting and was startled.

He had seen Shen Zhiyuan's handwriting, and the three words above were much better than Shen Zhiyuan's!

Although there are only three words, the strokes contain a kind of Taoist charm!
"This is the handwriting left by Senior Yi Shao. Don't stare at it, it's easy to get hurt."

Ye Xuan reminded.

Chen Tang and the other two quickly looked away.

Entering the yard, I saw a thatched cottage.

As if sensing someone coming, the door of the thatched cottage opened and an old man walked out.

Chen Tang was stunned. He had seen this old man before.

It was at the bank of Xiajiang River that he was fishing with an empty fishing thread and easily suppressed the predecessor Sun Lingxiu.

Chen Tang had already vaguely guessed the identity of this senior.

Perhaps only the Nanxia Sword Sect could capture Yuanying Zhenjun so easily.

However, what surprised him at this moment was that the old man seemed like a different person compared to the day they met that day.

The old man has white hair, wears a wide robe with big sleeves, and has an indifferent expression. He has a kind of unrestrained freedom and arrogance, just like a bird living in the mountains and forests, which is fascinating to look at.

When we met at the riverside that day, the old man was wearing a straw hat, a raincoat, and carrying a fish basket and a fishing rod. He looked like an ordinary fisherman.

Two completely different temperaments, but not at all abrupt, each one is extremely real.

"uncle."

"Third Grandpa."

The two addresses of Ye Xuan and Ye Yushi also confirmed Chen Tang's previous guess.

The old man in front of him is the world-famous grandmaster, Nanxia Sword Sect!
"Chen Tang greets the senior."

Chen Tang pulled Ali forward and bowed.

Ali just followed Chen Tang's example and bowed. He was neither curious nor respectful towards the great master.

She didn't care who she was going to meet, she just wanted to be with Chen Tang.

"She is A-li, originally from Nanxia, ​​but was sold to the Dongyi tribe. Her voice was poisoned and became hoarse when she was a child."

Chen Tang gave a brief explanation.

Jian Zong didn't mind, he just nodded and smiled, his eyes fell on Zui Weng's body.

Ye Xuan briefly described the process of the martial arts conference to Jian Zong, and then handed the drunkard's body to Jian Zong.

Jian Zong placed the body of his old friend on a chair in front of a stone table in the yard, leaned against it, and sat opposite him, staring at the drunkard's body for a long time without saying a word.

No one knew what he was thinking.

No one made any noise to disturb them.

The morning light broke through the jungle, gradually falling into the courtyard and on the drunkard's rosy face.

Jian Zong picked up Zui Weng and walked to the back of the thatched cottage. Soon, the sound of churning soil was heard.

Although the two did not meet in the end, Jian Zong buried his old friend personally and let him rest in peace.

After a while, Jian Zong came back from behind with a calm expression.

Chen Tang could not see any sadness or grief on Jian Zong's face.

Or perhaps, having lived to Jian Zong's age, he has already become indifferent to life and death.

"We've been friends for decades, but I couldn't see him off for the last time."

Jian Zong sighed and said, "If your best friend or relative whom you have known for many years eventually changes, what will you do?"

Ye Xuan, Chen Tang and the other two remained silent.

Jian Zong smiled and said, "It's just a casual chat, no need to be so reserved."

Ye Xuan said: "If my close friend or relative becomes like this, with his ambitions expanding and harming innocent people for his own selfish desires, I will sever all ties with him."

Chen Tang couldn't help but think of the big black dog, Chang Sun Ming, Lu Qing, and Yuan Qingshan and Yuan Qingmu.

Chen Tang was silent for a long time before he shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Ye Yushi said: "I'm afraid that only when we really face it can we make a decision."

Ali felt strange.

What's so difficult about this? You have to think about it for so long.

She has no friends, only family.

Whether it is Chen Tang or the grandparents, uncles and aunts in Taoyuan Valley, no matter what they become, they are her relatives and she will never hurt them.
