Embers of Sword

Chapter 145 "I want Xie Zhen to die."

The three words "Xie Xuanyi" echoed in the hall.

In an instant, the entire Jin'ao Peak fell silent. The reflecting talismans that Prince Jiangning had arranged in advance brought the scene of the hall at this moment to every corner of the mountain.

The mountain, the foot of the mountain, and even the entire Sword Palace were plunged into an atmosphere of extreme silence.

The lotus jade token held high up was glowing with a faint glow under the gazes of countless people.

At this moment, everyone understood.

Why would Huang Su give Xie Zhen such a jade token?

Why did Jin Aofeng go to investigate but returned empty-handed?

Why are so many questioning voices directed at this young boy, but Qi Lie ignores them?

Because Xie Zhen is Xie Xuanyi's disciple.

all.

Then everything became reasonable.

"Xie Xuanyi's disciple?"

Xu Nianning, who was stopped by Xie Zhen behind him, looked at the young man in front of him in disbelief.

Of course, she had heard of Xie Zhen's story. The prince of Jiangning had been in the limelight these days, but was overshadowed by Xie Zhen... But before today, who would have thought that Xie Zhen was Xie Xuanyi's disciple, and Xie Xuanyi had left behind another disciple! ?

"Ouch!"

Not far from the seat of honor, Duan Zhao was stunned and shocked beyond words. If Qi Lie hadn't held him back, he would have run to the center of the hall to look at Xie Zhen closely.

He stroked the wind and thunder bracelet on his wrist, and suddenly he realized something.

My dear mother.

No wonder my mother asked me to come to Dasui Sword Palace to find someone named Xie... So this is the reason!

Xie Xuanyi passed away.

The only one who can inherit Xie Xuanyi's legacy is... Xie Zhen!

In this way, if I follow Xie Zhen to practice for the past few days, I can be considered to be practicing with half of Xie Xuanyi?

Jiang Qihu's reaction was not much better than Duan Zhao's.

Seeing Benhu's reaction, a strange light flashed in Ye Qinglian's beautiful eyes, and she probably understood something.

The identity of Xie Xuanyi's disciple is revealed.

The riot in Qingzhou and the fighting in Beihailing made some unreasonable parts of the case file seem logical.

In Ye Qinglian's opinion, there is no doubt that Chen Jingxuan of the library had already taken in this poor child, and was just waiting for the opening of the Dashui Sword Palace and the lifting of the seal so that Xie Zhen could see the light of day again... The Qingzhou Rebellion and the Battle of Beihailing could be regarded as a foreshadowing for Xie Zhen, so that the world would know about the existence of such a person!

Everyone in the hall had extremely complicated expressions.

The person who could least accept this news was naturally Jiangning Prince Xie Sheng.

Holding onto the pillar of the palace, Xie Sheng managed to stabilize his body, taking deep breaths repeatedly to calm his heart. His vision was still blurry, and the figure in his heart, Xie Zhen, who was standing in front of him and was only a blurry figure in black, gradually overlapped with him, becoming indistinguishable from each other.

"Xie Xuanyi...Xie Xuanyi..."

Prince Jiangning laughed softly, his laughter was filled with self-mockery and more sadness.

He lowered his head and looked at the sword energy talismans that fell to the ground below him.

Therefore, the sword energy bell-ringing formation diagram that I had been comprehending for so long... was not the correct answer at all...

The great way of sword energy has never taken shape.

The sword energy that strikes the bell is a great principle that everyone can comprehend.

"Your Highness!"

Yue Chenglong was a little anxious. He stepped forward and wanted to say something.

Prince Jiangning stretched out his hand and stopped him.

Xie Sheng raised his head, and his eyes, hidden by his messy hair, were filled with bloodshot and fatigue.

The red dragon was entrenched in his heart lake, stirring up huge waves. His heart lake had never been so chaotic before...

But it has never been so calm.

Prince Jiangning looked a little haggard. He stared at the young man in front of him and spoke hoarsely, word by word: "Xie Zhen... are you really Xie Xuanyi's disciple?"

Xie Xuanyi smiled faintly, and as usual ignored the prince. He just took back the lotus jade token, wiped the token with his fingers, and then hung it around his waist again.

This action.

That’s a response.

"So, defeating you is equivalent to defeating a part of Xie Xuanyi..."

"Right?"

Xie Sheng suddenly smiled. He didn't care about Xie Zhen's attitude, he only cared about the significance of being Xie Xuanyi's disciple.

"of course."

Xie Xuanyi said softly: "Your Highness, do you want to try? Or should we let the two of them go first?"

He looked at the two people beside Prince Jiangning.

The Prince of Jiangning's Mansion spent a lot of money to bribe these two young cave gods... If they are not useful at this time, wouldn't it be a waste?

Yue Chenglong and Wan Chuo's expressions became a little nervous.

Xie gave a lot of benefits.

But who is willing to duel with Xie Xuanyi’s direct disciple?

Everyone saw what happened to Jing Qingming! This senior disciple of the Silver Moon Sect was seriously injured because he challenged Xie Zhen to a duel, and he is still in a coma!
"them……"

Prince Jiang Ning glanced back and couldn't help laughing: "If you were Xie Xuanyi's disciple, they would not be worthy of fighting with you."

This sentence is somewhat humiliating.

But Yue Chenglong and Wan Chuo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Tomorrow...will be the Xuanshui Dongtian Competition."

Xie Sheng took a deep breath and stopped smiling.

Perhaps it was because the red dragon was subdued and the lake in his heart was no longer turbulent.

He gradually regained his sanity and his eyes became clear again. When his fluttering robe slowly settled, the thin figure exuded a cold and sharp sword intent, causing everyone around him to subconsciously take a step back.

"Xie Zhen, I will prove who is the new master of Xuanshui Dongtian in front of everyone in the world!"

Prince Jiangning put his hands behind his back and looked back at his supporters.

Not long ago, she was the center of attention.

At this moment, he was left alone.

After saying this.

Xie Sheng turned his head nonchalantly, leaving the hall without any regrets.

"……pity."

Xie Xuanyi heard Xu Nianning sighing behind him: "I thought Xie Sheng would ask for the sword in the palace."

Everyone is looking forward to this scene.

But no one expected that at this critical moment...Prince Jiangning actually took a step back!
"Ask about the sword?"

Xie Xuanyi shook his head silently.

He is very clear.

There was no way that Prince Jiangning would ask for the sword in this hall.

For sword practitioners, spirit is the most important.

Prince Jiangning performed the "Sword Qi Bell Ringing" formation on the Jin'ao Peak today to prove his sword Qi aptitude to the people of the world!

If anyone is dissatisfied, they can step forward and point out the shortcomings of the formation diagram!
Next.

It is to argue!
In this Sword Qi Ceremony, Xie Sheng's realm is far ahead... In this case, no matter who Xie Sheng wins, it will be difficult to prove that he is stronger than Xie Xuanyi back then.

But if it is an equal "debate", Xie Sheng will still win!
Well, the situation is different.

The Sword Qi Bell Ringing Formation Diagram was a gift from the Dasui Sword Palace to sword practitioners all over the world!
Anyone can come forward and argue!

In Xie Sheng's original thoughts, he wished that the law enforcement elders of Jin'ao Peak would get involved just because they saw that he was unhappy. It would be best if the Yinshen Venerable could join in this debate.

His formation diagram was indeed deeply understood and could withstand any degree of scrutiny.

But what Xie Sheng didn't expect was that the headmaster released the formation diagram from a completely higher angle.

Xie Xuanyi revealed the mystery of the formation diagram, which cleared up doubts for the people of the world...but this time, Prince Jiangning paid a heavy price for solving the doubts.

Damage to one's moral character is no big deal.

It is a terrible thing to develop inner demons and stagnate in the process of achieving perfection in the cave.

……

……

The Jiangning Mansion at Zhenyin Peak was shrouded in dark clouds.

The maids and servants in the delegation all looked pale. They knelt on the ground, trembling and not daring to look up.

Prince Jiangning, who returned dismally from Jin'ao Peak, returned to his mansion and smashed several precious objects. Finally, he locked himself in a quiet room. Even through several layers of formations, one could hear the heart-wrenching hoarse screams and the faint majestic dragon roar.

"Xie Xuanyi! Xie Xuanyi!"

The gorgeous robe of Prince Jiangning was torn by the energetic energy, revealing his scarlet skin. In the quiet room, he smashed everything that could be smashed, venting the pain and anger in his heart!
above the hall.

The reason why he was so calm... was not because he had subdued the red dragon.

Quite the opposite.

He knew very well that the Red Dragon's counterattack this time was stronger than any previous time. If he didn't leave, its true form would soon be revealed.

Hence, there was the final lonely and desolate departure.

When the incense master pushed open the door of the quiet room.

Everything has returned to silence, with broken pieces of gorgeous clothes scattered all over the ground. In the dark corner of the quiet room, a figure was curled up. The figure was like a candle that could go out at any time and would be blown away by the wind.

"I heard about what happened at Jin'ao Peak."

The incense master squatted down gently and looked at the red dragon crawling all over his back. His eyes were very gentle. He patted Xie Sheng's trembling back with his palm and comforted him in a gentle voice: "In my opinion, Your Highness is not wrong. All this is the fault of Jin'ao Peak and Dasui Sword Palace... The Sword Palace's chief law is unkind and plays with the law. He regards Jiangning's incense as nothing."

"..."

Xie Sheng slowly raised his head, a terrifying scarlet glow flashing in his eyes.

"The Taoist knows how to 'cherish talent' better than the Sword Palace's chief lawyer."

The incense master said with regret, "It's just a Yang God... Dasui Sword Palace has it, and the Taoist sect also has it. To be honest, my master has always admired your talent, but the Taoist sect never forces anyone to do anything, so I almost never mentioned it along the way."

Xie Sheng looked at the incense burner calmly and indifferently.

"Your Highness, Daomen..."

The incense master finally waited until this moment, and the real purpose was revealed: "This is the destiny of the Red Dragon."

Prince Jiangning lowered his head again.

The quiet room was silent for a long time.

The incense master carefully observed the prince's expression and said with a smile: "If Your Highness is unwilling, I will not force you."

After a while.

The red candle flame swayed in the quiet room, slowly moving up and down once or twice.

"congratulations."

The incense master said with satisfaction: "From today on, I have one more precious junior brother."

"...Brother Zhaizhu."

Xie Sheng said hoarsely: "Since you have joined the Taoist sect, there should be an initiation ceremony."

The incense master was stunned for a moment.

"Easy to say..."

He smiled and said, "Brother, I will help you calm the evil spirit of the Red Dragon Mark."

The incense master stretched out his hand, but it was ruthlessly slapped away in mid-air.

"No need. The Red Dragon's violence... I can subdue it myself."

Prince Jiang Ning slowly raised his head, staring at his senior brother's face seriously, and said in a hoarse voice, "This is not what I want."

The smile on the incense master's face gradually froze.

He had roughly guessed what Prince Jiangning wanted to ask.

In a dark and quiet room.

Xie Sheng's extremely calm voice was heard.

"I want Xie Zhen to die."

(PS: 1. My biological clock was a bit messed up last night, and I didn't adjust it back, so the update is relatively late, TAT 2. Thanks to Jingtian for the reward, I will try to update more tonight. As I said, brothers who don't stay up late, don't wait~)
