Embers of Sword

Chapter 162 Beihai Old Case
The "warm" solitude between the master and the disciple did not last long.

After a while.

A low groan of pain came from the corner.

"Woo..."

Jiang Huang, who was still in a coma, subconsciously let out a painful groan.

Only then did Xie Xuanyi remember that there was another person in the courtyard.

He coughed lightly and was about to speak when his voice was interrupted.

"Speak of it."

Zhao Chunyang glanced at Jiang Huang and said quietly, "You are so brave, little brat... You dare to bring the Phoenix Blood Demon to the Dasui Sword Palace. Aren't you afraid that the Chief Lawyer will see you and kill you with a sword?"

"Of course I'm afraid."

Xie Xuanyi sighed and said, "But I don't have much choice... Fortune and wealth come from risk."

Want to cure the Nine Deaths.

In Xie Xuanyi's opinion, the only way out was to go to the "Sword Washing Pool" on Yuping Peak.

The law is indeed terrible.

But Jiang Huang has two souls, and the main soul does not come out, so there should be no accidents.

"It's a good thing that wealth and honor are sought in danger."

Zhao Chunyang smiled and said, "You dare to bring her back. You have made up your mind to return to the Sword Palace to see me, right?"

"..."

Xie Xuanyi smiled awkwardly.

Master still understands himself.

Ten years have passed.

Although on the way back, rumors were circulating in almost every place that the Sword Palace Master Zhao Chunyang had passed away...

But Xie Xuanyi didn't believe it at all.

He believed that his master must be alive and living well.

Facts have proved that the two of them really know each other well and know each other inside out.

"During the Northern Hunt, I broke her legs and brought her back to the Imperial City."

Xie Xuanyi sighed and said, "Now we meet again in Jinli Mountain in the northern border... I want to save her life."

"Tsk."

Zhao Chunyang smiled and said, "My good disciple is indeed a kind-hearted man in the surrounding area."

"???"

These words made Xie Xuanyi unsure whether they were a compliment or sarcasm.

"This little girl is pretty, with pink and tender skin."

Zhao Chunyang stood up and came to the sleeping Jiang Huang. He reached out and gently pinched the face of the sleeping little girl and immediately understood everything.

"Two spirits, one with demonic aura, and one with human nature..."

Master Chunyang narrowed his eyes and smiled, "You are quite clever. No wonder you were able to hide it from Junior Brother, and no wonder you were able to bring her here. Didn't Huang Su notice anything unusual?"

"Never."

Xie Xuanyi shook his head and said, "Not long ago at the Lichao River, Tang Fengshu didn't notice anything strange either."

"This demon soul is well hidden."

Zhao Chunyang said calmly: "But if it is only this level... once he makes eye contact with Yang Shen, he will immediately show his weakness."

The soul strength of the Yang God is much stronger than that of the Yin God.

Look at each other.

It's like being burned by the sun.

How could ordinary demons and evil spirits withstand such pressure?

Zhao Chunyang just pinched Jiang Huang's cheek lightly, without any sign of exerting any force, but the demonic spirit hidden deep in the main soul's heart was already trembling unsteadily, and it looked like it might collapse at any time.

"The 'Nine Death Ban' of the Da Chu royal family is not so easy to resolve."

Zhao Chunyang stared at the little girl in silence and said softly, "These two souls will eventually merge into one. Thanks to the half drop of the Immortal Spring you gave me, the demonic energy and human nature have begun to merge... There is one thing I must say in advance. After saving this little girl, after the two souls merge into one, it is hard to say whether there will be more demonic energy or more human nature."

Xie Xuanyi also came to Jiang Huang.

He said softly: "If I remember correctly, there is an extremely ferocious monster in the back mountain of Jin'ao Peak."

The Great Chu Dynasty does not tolerate evil.

But the so-called "demons" are often seen all over the world.

For example, a few days ago, when Prince Jiangning arrived at the mountain gate, the chariot he rode was pulled by a "dragon horse"... This dragon horse was a demon descendant with some dragon blood.

Besides.

The royal family of Da Chu also enslaved many demons!
"That was a mistake made by my junior brother."

Zhao Chunyang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "But if you want to take this little girl in as your guardian demon of Lotus Peak... I fully support it."

Jiang Huang's bloodline is extremely pure.

This might be a pure-blooded phoenix that is rare in a hundred years.

If I can achieve enlightenment one day, I will have a chance to become a great master in the demon country!

That is the Yang God of the human world!

"You reap what you sow. I don't think too much about it."

Xie Xuanyi smiled, stretched out his palm, and gently pressed on the place where his heart was beating.

A lot of the things he did…he just followed his instincts.

Saving Jiang Huang is just like that.

"At this stage, your identity cannot be exposed. Jiang Huang's identity is even more dangerous."

Zhao Chunyang said casually, "Back then, countless members of the Da Chu royal family coveted the 'Phoenix Blood' on the little fellow... Once they knew that the pure-blooded phoenix you hunted was still alive, they would desperately try to take it away. In addition, they would also follow the clues to investigate your life experience."

Xie Xuanyi sighed: "I naturally know this."

“So even if this little guy is rescued, he can only stay in the Sword Palace.”

Zhao Chunyang said calmly: "It will take a long time until you have enough power and everyone in the world dares to obey you. Only then can you give her freedom in the true sense. But before that day comes...she cannot leave the Sword Palace. What do you think?"

Xie Xuanyi remained silent.

He knew that these words were not meant for himself.

Jiang Huang woke up from a coma and pretended to be still asleep, his eyelids twitching slightly.

The little girl was ready to continue pretending.

Zhao Chunyang stretched out two fingers, bent them slightly, and made a knocking gesture.

"I do! I do!"

Jiang Huang quickly widened his eyes and responded loudly.

The main spirit wanted to hide in the deepest part of the heart lake.

But Zhao Chunyang's divine sense only swept over, and the main soul was forced to take over the body. At this moment, it was trembling with fear and shaking all over.

This kind of pressure was something she had never seen before. She couldn't imagine what it would be like to be lightly tapped on the forehead by this finger.
Will it be reduced to ashes?

Or...even more miserable?

"it is good."

Zhao Chunyang looked at the trembling little girl in front of him and said in a gentle voice: "For Xuanyi's sake, I will make an exception and save your life... But you must remember one thing. Unless Xie Xuanyi takes you out of the Sword Palace personally, you cannot leave without permission, and you cannot reveal your demon body. If you understand clearly, nod your head."

"..."

Although Zhao Chunyang has restrained his pressure.

But the main spirit was still oppressed and unable to move. This was the shock to the heart brought by the top-level Yang God.

Jiang Huang turned his head with a complicated expression and looked at Xie Xuanyi.

She had been curious before... How could Xie Xuanyi, after bringing her to the Sword Palace, allow her to be baptized in the "Sword Washing Pool".

that time.

She vaguely guessed something.

If the headmaster is willing to come forward.

Then... baptism in the Sword Pool is just a small matter.

just.

Shemales have different paths.

As a descendant of the Phoenix Blood, would the Chunyang Sect Leader of the Dashui Sword Palace really be willing to accept me?

now.

Jiang Huang took a deep breath, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed heavily: "Thank you for not abandoning me, sir. Jiang Huang is willing to stay in Dasui Sword Palace."

The main spirit is not stupid.

She knew very well the identity of the old man standing in front of her.

It can be said that he is one of the most outstanding "saints" in the entire Da Chu Dynasty.

Don't mention that he is seriously injured now. Even if he is in his prime, he will still have to kneel here.

"it is good."

Zhao Chunyang laughed, and he laughed very happily.

The two fingers suspended on Jiang Huang's forehead gently emanated a wisp of sword intent.

This sword intent was not bone-piercing. After entering the body, it immediately spread out and turned into a clear and warm stream.

"Practice well, don't learn from that idiot at Jin'ao Peak... That guy may not be able to leave Dasui even after a hundred years."

Zhao Chunyang said softly: "You have a good eye. My disciple is kind and treats people very well. You will not lose out if you follow him."

Every word flows into my heart.

Jiang Huang was stunned as he felt the warm current in his body, flowing through his internal organs and finally rushing towards his "lower limbs" which had long lost their sensitivity.

"Okay, stand up." Zhao Chunyang said softly.

stand up.

To Jiang Huang, these three words...are simply a fantasy.

Click.

She tried to loosen her palms and slowly exert force on her calves.

The thin body was shaky, without any support from the energy or demonic energy...

After a while.

Jiang Huang stood up. Although she was still a little unstable, she finally straightened her back.

She looked at the old man in front of her with a shocked and complicated expression, not knowing what to say.

"You reap what you sow. The causes that a disciple sows are the fruits of the master's work... I have cured Xuan Yi's legs."

Zhao Chunyang said: "The sword energy of the past is gone. But this disease is difficult to cure, you still need some time to recuperate. The time you live in the Sword Palace is both for cultivation and recuperation."

"...Thank you for your kindness in reshaping me!"

Lord Jiang Huang's soul was very excited. She had never thought that this old injury could be healed.

Back then, Xie Xuanyi's sword intent had already penetrated into his bones.

She saw no hope of recovery.

"Thank me for what?"

Zhao Chunyang waved his hand.

Jiang Huang was stunned. She looked at Xie Xuanyi. The eyes that were always full of murderous intent earlier now had a few more complicated meanings.

Finally, Jiang Huang said in a low voice: "Thank you...thank you."

These legs were broken by Xie Xuanyi.

She has been brooding over this all these years.

But in fact... in that fierce battle that year, both sides fought fairly and revealed all their cards, and she was the one who lost.

Life and death are determined by destiny, wealth and honor are in heaven.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.

The world of demons is even more cruel than this.

Now, Xie Xuanyi saved his life, and his broken leg... was also treated.

Look at it this way.

Do I owe him something in return?
Xie Xuanyi just shook his head and said nothing more.

"Master, there is one more thing..."

He sat in front of the stone table, silently looking at his reflection in the teacup, and said softly: "I recently read the case files of Dasui Sword Palace before it closed down ten years ago."

"Ok?"

Zhao Chunyang raised his eyebrows slightly.

"The Beihai case back then..."

Xie Xuanyi thought for a long time, and finally said: "Some details are not quite right."

"..."

Zhao Chunyang fell silent. He had already guessed what Xie Xuanyi was going to say.

"This happened many years ago, and I thought I could never let it go. But the moment I learned the truth, I knew..."

Xie Xuanyi smiled and said, "It turns out that I have already let it go."

"It's just that some things should finally come to an end... It would be good for both me and her."

Xie Xuanyi looked into his master's eyes, "What do you think?"

"so……"

Zhao Chunyang sighed and asked, "You don't want other people to know about this."

"Yes."

Xie Xuanyi bowed and said softly, "Master, please help me and take me to Yuping Peak."
