Embers of Sword

Chapter 114: Wonderful Sound, Heavenly Being

The flying sword hung in the air, making a whistling sound.

A ray of sharp sword intent dispersed the clouds and mist.

"Feel sorry……"

Xie Xuanyi stretched out his finger and gently pushed the flying sword aside. He said apologetically: "I'm new here and the fog is too thick."

The flying sword clanged.

The woman asked again: "Since you knew the fog was thick, why did you go forward?"

Xie Xuanyi was stunned.

"Although Dasui has opened up the mountain, there are still many forbidden areas within the sect... As long as there is fog and cloud in front of the mountain gate, it can be regarded as a 'forbidden area'."

Seeing the other person's stagnation, the female disciple frowned and asked, "From your appearance, you are probably a visitor who came to participate in the Dasui Sword Qi Ceremony. Could it be that the disciples of Zhenyin Peak did not tell you the precautions when they took you in?"

Xie Xuanyi could only smile bitterly.

Jiang Qihu led him directly into the depths of the mountain gate. How could the disciples of Zhenyin Peak have time to guide him?

Not to mention informing these matters.

No wonder it is so remote and deserted along the way.

"That's all..."

"Since this is your first offense, I will not punish you this time."

The female disciple from Yuping Peak who was standing in front of the mountain gate had her clothes fluttering in the wind, and she recalled her flying sword with a wave of her sleeves.

The previous sword sacrifice was just a warning.

She had never really thought of handing over the sword.

The female disciple sternly warned: "Da Sui has strict discipline. You must never commit such a crime again."

"As it should be."

Xie Xuanyi bowed respectfully and said, "May I ask, Fairy...when did this Yuping Peak become a forbidden area?"

"Yuping Peak has always been a forbidden area."

The female disciple said expressionlessly, "Master is confined here, guarding the Sword Washing Pool and the thirty-three caves in the back mountain."

This is exactly the responsibility of Yuping Peak.

There are thirty-three blessed places in the Dashui Sword Palace, which is located behind the Yuping Peak. It is named "Yuping" for this reason. This mountain is continuous and wide, dividing the Dashui Sword Palace into yin and yang sides.

But Xie Xuanyi remembered.

When he was training in the Sword Palace, he could come and go as he pleased as long as he had the Dasui token.

Outsiders are just not allowed to go to the back mountain.

Why now...

Has Yuping Peak also become a forbidden area?
At this moment.

A familiar, sweet and innocent voice sounded unexpectedly.

"Mr. Xiao Xie!"

Xie Xuanyi paused.

He turned around and saw several familiar figures at the other end of the clouds, riding swords towards them and stopping right in front of the gate of Yuping Peak.

The person who spoke was none other than the junior sister from Baihua Valley whom he had met once before in Beihailing.

Yuan Yi.

The opening ceremony of Dashui Sword Palace is a grand ceremony that takes place once every ten years.

The North Sea tide swept away the country's destiny and flooded back.

Both the north and the south of Dachu will be cleansed by the great fortune.

Therefore, all the sects, schools, and major families sent people to send gifts... although the Dasui Sword Palace had already declined and could not be compared with the Taoist sect.

But the headmaster is still there.

As long as the master is here, the Sword Palace will be here.

As the holy land of Qingzhou sword cultivators, Baihua Valley would naturally not be absent, and the one who led the disciples...

It was naturally Ye Qinglian.

A group of female sword practitioners landed in front of the gate of Yuping Peak.

Ye Qinglian first glanced at Yuan Yi behind her with a stern look. The latter quickly lowered his head, hugged the reeds with both hands, his face full of shame and regret, and hurriedly apologized in a low voice.

"...Master, Yuan Yi knows he is wrong."

In front of the gate of Yuping Peak.

It's really impolite to shout like that.

Ye Qinglian sighed softly in her heart but said nothing.

She led everyone to the mountain gate, bowed to Xie Xuanyi, and greeted him generously and warmly: "Xie Zhen, long time no see."

In the Qingzhou case, whether it is the Jiang family or Baihua Valley.

It's really a favor to everyone to accept this thank you.

Especially after the young imperial teacher confirmed the identity of "Xie Zhen" as the hidden agent of the bookstore -

Even Ye Qinglian must be treated with courtesy.

Although the young man in front of him is young, he is a member of the library after all. He is favored by Chen Jingxuan and will surely achieve something in the future.

"Young Master, you are too polite."

Xie Xuanyi returned the greeting, turned his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Miss Yuan, long time no see."

Yuan Yi did not dare to speak directly this time and looked at his master cautiously.

After getting Ye Qinglian's nod of permission.

She then responded in a low voice with joy: "Mr. Xie, long time no see...it really is you."

The clouds and mist were floating in the distance.

She saw a familiar figure.

It has only been over a month since we last met in Qingzhou. For a practitioner, that time will pass in the blink of an eye while he sits cross-legged in meditation.

But somehow, for Yuan Yi.

This month has been particularly long.

She always couldn't help but think of everything about Beihailing, and there was always a figure lingering in her little head, unable to be shaken off.

So almost the moment he saw Xie Xuanyi——

Yuan Yi shouted out loud for some unknown reason, totally out of his control.

I regret it after the fact, but it's too late.

Xie Xuanyi felt a little complicated as he looked at the girl's unconcealed joy. In fact, when the first word came out of his mouth, he guessed that Baihua Valley had arrived.

Because so far, the only person who calls him "Mr. Xie" is Yuan Yi.

In fact, he had corrected this name before in Beihailing.

But Yuan Yi did not change...so later on, he followed suit.

"Why can't I see Lu Yuan?"

Xie Xuanyi spoke with a smile and looked around. Ye Qinglian brought quite a few disciples this time, but apart from Yuan Yi, he didn't see any other familiar faces.

"In the battle at Beihailing... Senior Sister Lu was injured." Yuan Yi looked gloomy, "There are several other senior sisters who are all recovering in the valley and will not be able to attend the opening ceremony."

Xie Xuanyi nodded, indicating that he understood.

Qingzhou was in turmoil, Baihua Valley suffered heavy losses, Senior Sister Hong Jing and several young cave gods died. No matter which sect these people were placed in, they could be considered the backbone, and there was even hope that they would be promoted to Yin God in the future.

Such a fall is truly tragic and a pity.

"Xie Zhen, you are so courageous. In front of so many people, you didn't even give the Crown Prince Jiang Ning an ounce of respect."

Ye Qinglian suddenly smiled and spoke.

After Jiang Qihu came to Dasui Sword Palace, he did not go straight to Zhenyin Peak, but waited at the mountain gate.

Of course she knew the news.

But Ye Qinglian could never have imagined that... this matter would have such a dramatic development.

"If I had known in advance that there would be such a good show, I would not have missed it."

Ye Qinglian showed a look of regret, and suddenly asked curiously: "Can you tell me the truth, was the incident with Prince Jiangning arranged by Chen Jingxuan?"

"If I say no, will Master Shaogu believe me?"

Xie Xuanyi spoke with a smile.

“It’s hard to believe.”

Ye Qinglian looked at Xie Xuanyi and suddenly realized something: "Why, you are here to visit Yuping Peak too?"

"Just walking around."

Xie Xuanyi smiled and made up an excuse: "I admire the Dasui Sword Palace and wanted to see what the legendary 'Sword Washing Pool' looked like, so I came here by accident."

"Just walking around and coming here?"

Ye Qinglian raised her eyebrows slightly.

The chaos in Qingzhou made her completely lose her temper towards Chen Jingxuan.

This new owner of the library is really hard to understand.

"I'm really just going to take a walk. I'm ready to leave now."

When Xie Xuanyi saw Ye Qinglian's appearance, he couldn't help but sigh softly, thinking that there was some misunderstanding that could not be explained no matter how hard he tried.

He turned around and bowed to the woman in white in front of the mountain gate, and said in a deep voice: "I'm really sorry for disturbing you unintentionally. I'll leave now."

Say it.

Turn around and leave.

It’s just at this moment——

Above the mountain gate, on the top of the misty mountain, a woman's voice suddenly came, which was vague and empty, but it struck the heart directly.

"Thank you, Master. Please stay."

This voice made Xie Xuanyi's body suddenly startled.

He turned his back to the mountain gate and did not look back.

A ray of divine thought flew down from the top of the clouds and arrived in front of the mountain gate, condensing into a rough outline in the clouds.

The clouds are as white as snow, the clothes are whiter than the clouds, and the skin is whiter than the clothes.

Just a wisp of divine thought condensed into shape, which made all the women in Baihua Valley stare in fascination. One by one, they couldn't take their eyes off it.

Even Ye Qinglian's heart was pounding and could not calm down for a long time.

compare to.

The female disciple who had been standing at the mountain gate before, alone, looked extraordinary and graceful, but now standing next to Jiang Miaoyin's spiritual form, she seemed somewhat "ordinary", like the stars under the big moon, dim and completely without any brilliance.

Just a wisp of divine thought condensed into shape, and it had such a beauty that made people's hearts flutter.

hard to imagine.

How stunningly beautiful should my voice and appearance be?
"...Master."

The female disciple from Yuping Peak quickly knelt down and saluted to the woman beside her. There was some surprise in her eyes. She really didn't expect that this young man in the bamboo hat who came here by accident would not only get acquainted with Baihua Valley, but would also end up being received by the master in person.

Master.

In the entire Yuping Peak, there is only one person who can be called Master.

There is only one person.

Jiang Miaoyin.

"I have heard about what happened at the mountain gate earlier."

Although the divine form that Jiang Miaoyin descended from had only a vague outline, its overall temperament was extremely outstanding, like that of a celestial being.

She bowed slightly to Xie Xuanyi's back and said, "Anyway...thank you to Mr. Chen for me."

The voice is like a clear spring, touching people's hearts.

Xie Xuanyi smiled casually, his voice a little hoarse: "...It's a small matter, easy to talk about."

Everyone knows it.

There is a pair of "golden boy and jade girl" in Dasui Sword Palace.

Xie Xuanyi, Jiang Miaoyin.

One of these two people is a peerless sword immortal, a swordsmanship genius that only appears once in a thousand years, and the other is a contemporary beauty, as beautiful as a fairy. They both entered the Sword Palace together when they were young and were childhood sweethearts... Before Xie Xuanyi's death, their story had always been a good story.

After Xie Xuanyi's death, the King of Jiangning first compared his son to "the living Xuanyi" and took advantage of the situation to gradually make him known to the public.

It got worse and worse later on.

Now the whole Jiangning is convinced that Xie Sheng’s appearance is far superior to Xie Xuanyi’s back then.

The meeting with Zhenyin Peak was declined by all the peak masters...

From this we can see their attitude towards the Jiangning Xie family.

After saying thank you, Jiang Miaoyin slowly spoke in her spiritual body.

"Miss Ye, Dasui Mountain has been closed for the past ten years. Miaoyin has made a vow to lock herself in Yuping Peak and never go out, nor have any contact with the outside world."

She first looked at Ye Qinglian and the disciples of Baihua Valley: "Once the oath of the soul is made, it cannot be broken... During these ten years, even if Qi Hu came, he would be turned away. This is rude, please forgive me."

Having said this, Jiang Miaoyin's spiritual body bowed slightly and made a gesture of invitation.

Ye Qinglian had a complicated expression.

She and Jiang Miaoyin have known each other for many years.

ten years.

She has wanted to meet Jiang Miaoyin to compete with her and see who is better for ten years.

But... in these ten years, Jiang Miaoyin has never wanted to see her.

Ye Qinglian never knew the reason.

It was not until this moment that she realized that Jiang Miaoyin had actually made a soul oath and locked herself in Yuping Peak.

"Thank you, Master..."

Jiang Miaoyin's spiritual body looked at the back of the young man in black, hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "Mr. Xie, if you don't mind, please go into the mountain with us."
