Embers of Sword

Chapter 229: Descendants of a Famous Family (6K6)

The country of Dayue is neither big nor small.

This secret ancient battlefield buried deep under the snow was surrounded by thick fog for hundreds of miles, and its specific outline could not be seen clearly. Xie Xuanyi had previously used his divine sense to explore it, but could only roughly get the result that an ancient city was surrounded by mountains on all sides.

And because the dragon-killing war was too brutal, these mountains, along with the long-standing national destiny of a thousand years ago, were blasted to pieces, leaving only remnants.

At this moment, he was being chased by many cavalrymen led by the captain of ten thousand men. Without the burden of the little mute girl Qingli, Xie Xuanyi used all his strength to display the sword-riding technique to escape. Only then did he feel the taste of "the vastness of the world". Riding the sword for dozens of miles, Xie Xuanyi could barely see the towering city gate standing on the southern edge of this ancient country. Compared with the entire territory, the "Iron Lock Lane" where he had lived before was really just a sesame-sized piece of land.

How many people were there in this ancient country thousands of years ago?
This is dozens of times larger than Lichao City.

At least a million people.

These cavalrymen were well-trained, and the captain of ten thousand men was even more "lingering". Xie Xuanyi's speed was so fast that he tried his best to get rid of them, but he was only able to shake off the cavalrymen and did not completely break free from the captain's mental lock.

But fortunately.

Xie Xuanyi's spiritual realm is higher than that of the captain of ten thousand men.

He landed on a tall tower inside the city gate, took a short rest, restored his internal energy, and silently looked into the distance, observed the direction, and recorded the map. The plan after parting with Qingli was simple. Since these cavalrymen were coming for him, he could not let them disturb the peace of "Iron Lock Alley" anyway. Xie Xuanyi decided to take the captain and the cavalrymen along the edge of the ancient country, make a big circle, and finally pull away enough distance, take the time to go to Iron Lock Alley, get the "amulet", and cut into the main city area.

Although these ghost soldiers are brave, they lack wisdom.

For now.

The plan went very smoothly.

Just as Xie Xuanyi was about to continue controlling the sword, a familiar voice sounded in a distant alley covered by his divine consciousness.

"Come on, come on, all of you!"

The voice was angry and terrified.

A few miles away, in a narrow alley, the battle was fierce. The walls of the alley were covered with blood. Qin Wanyang, dressed in a gorgeous black robe, was forming a battle formation. In front of him, Qin's staff rushed forward with swords in hand, but they were constantly repelled by a tall figure with red light all around him.

This tall figure exudes a strong demonic aura.

A red cave hangs high in the sky.

Streams of divine mist flowed out and spread on the ground like magma. Wherever they passed, the ground collapsed and space distorted.

"A demon cultivator from Chiling City?"

Xie Xuanyi squatted at the top of the tower and narrowed his eyes.

After meeting the female monks from Yuqingzhai, he realized something was wrong.

When Xie Sheng and the others entered this secret realm, they must have discovered the "Sword Qi Mark" that they had left behind...

With their character.

If they discover a secret place, they will never make it public.

now.

Not only one force came here, even the demon cultivators from Chiling City appeared in Dayue Kingdom.

obviously.

Because of Ao Ying, the human race’s hunt to the north was accidentally “discovered”.

Previously at the Ghost Ridge, Xie Xuanyi killed a group of Chi Ling City's death warriors... But he knew very well that these death warriors should only be a part of the forces dispatched by Chi Ling City this time. After all, Ao Ying was a perfect cave heaven, possessed precious treasures, and was full of tricks. Lord Jiu was ruthless, so for this mission, at least one or two half-step Yin Gods, or pseudo Yin Gods, would be sent to command.

now.

The demon cultivator who was suppressing the Qin family's staff and constantly approaching was already half a step into the realm of Yin God.

After the cave is complete.

The evil spirit condensed into divine clouds, and the divine clouds contained the principles of Tao.

Unfortunately……

The power of the Tao is not perfect, and only a small part of it should have been condensed.

However, this kind of combat power is enough to suppress the young prince of the Qin family. In this Northern Hunt, the strength of the young prince of the Qin family is not unique. He should be only at the eighth or ninth level of the Cave Heaven. Compared with "Lin Yu" who asked about fists at the city gate, he is not much stronger.

The saints and geniuses of all the major holy places have already achieved perfect cave heaven.

You can condense the Tao at any time.

but……

The Qin family has a rich heritage and is the family that guards Da Chu Wuyun.

Qin Wanyang is the youngest, so he should be the most favored and have the most treasures on him.

At this moment, deep in the alley, snow-white light was constantly flying. Qin Wanyang was forming a formation, and several treasures were standing outside the formation. The Qin Mansion's staff used blood to resist the Taoist attack of the demon cultivator from Chiling City in order to delay time for the young prince's formation.

But Xie Xuanyi saw the purpose of this formation.

These Qin Mansion aides are now paying the price of their lives to buy time for Qin Wanyang... This is actually a very sad thing.

Because this is a "teleportation array".

The entire ancient battlefield of Dayue Kingdom is blocked by evil spirits and no one can leave easily.

But the short-range "space array" is not restricted and can be used freely... Qin Wanyang is prepared to sacrifice these staff members in exchange for a chance to escape.

Xie Xuanyi shook his head, turned around and was about to leave.

The Qin family has a good relationship with me.

But to be precise... Qin Baihuang has a good relationship with me.

This young prince of the Qin family had previously teamed up with Fangyuanfang Muzhu to plot against him, and Xie Xuanyi had not had time to settle the score. Now, not leading the iron cavalry and the captain to target this kid was already considered "showing mercy" and giving him a break.

Just as he was about to leave.

At the end of the range covered by the divine consciousness, a mighty aura appeared again.

In the void, a portal suddenly opened, and dozens of people riding on precious weapons flew over the city.

This team has more people than the previous one from Yuqingzhai!
And within the team...

There are quite a few people that Xie Xuanyi has met before!

The night when the Lin family was raided.

The noble families of Beijun gathered in Yongan Street.

Xie Xuanyi felt many cold gazes, and he also memorized the faces of these people...

Sure enough, this time he went hunting in the north.

All the noble families, big and small, who had migrated south from Beijun, gathered together.

Among them are many descendants of Emperor Wuzong!

"Xie Zhen?"

Wu Yue, the eldest brother of Wu Zong, noticed the black figure in the tower at the first moment.

This group of people looked very embarrassed.

Their clothes were stained with blood, and their breathing was disordered. It was obvious that they had just experienced a great battle...

"..."

Xie Xuanyi slowly stood up from the top of the tower and looked at Wu Yue calmly.

If this group of people wanted to take action at this moment.

He didn't mind sending them to the "other side" before the captain of ten thousand men arrived.

After Wu Yue spoke.

This group of young men from the noble families of Beijun also noticed the young man in black standing on the tower. Their faces changed, but no one acted rashly.

Wu Yue did not take any action.

He just looked at Xie Zhen with a complicated expression, then turned his gaze down.

now.

The Half-Step Yin God from Chiling City is forcing the Qin Mansion cultivator to death!

“Brother Wu! Brother Lin! Save me! Save me!”

Qin Wanyang's formation pattern has not yet been formed.

He was so excited when he saw these fellow humans appearing out of nowhere that he immediately asked for help.

"Eldest brother?"

Among this group of people, there was only one person who stared at Xie Xuanyi without moving.

It was Lin Yu.

"Don't act rashly. Now is not the time to start a war with Xie Zhen."

Wu Yue said in a deep voice: "The country comes first, kill the evildoer first! Save the little prince!"

These words made Xie Xuanyi's heart move slightly.

He didn't know what kind of person this new generation senior brother Wu Zong was...

But his master is Zhou.

Xie Xuanyi was very "admiring".

In fact, Xie Xuanyi likes most of the warriors. These people are straightforward and don't like to beat around the bush. It doesn't take too much thought to deal with them.

Many years ago.

Xie Xuanyi originally thought that the world of cultivation was a very simple world.

You just need to be strong enough.

Then nothing else matters.

Later he realized that the world is not like this...wherever there are people, there is "struggle".

In the world of cultivation, there are also many intrigues and deceptions.

The worst thing is the human heart.

Warriors are often sincere in their hearts. Among all the sincere warriors, Zhou is definitely one of the top three "sincere men" that Xie Xuanyi knows.

He publicly asked questions eleven times.

Eleven battles, eleven defeats.

Before being hunted down, Xie Xuanyi was invited to the Yueyin Realm to enjoy the flowers, and Zhou issued the twelfth invitation to ask for boxing... If there hadn't been the accident of the Emperor Killing, Xie Xuanyi would have fought with this martial arts fanatic for the twelfth time, and the outcome of this duel would not have been a surprise.

But after this battle, Zhou should be able to see the exact direction of his promotion to "Yang Shen".

After Wu Yue opened his mouth, the children of the noble families in Beijun and the disciples of Wu Zong all rushed towards the alley without the slightest hesitation... This was enough to prove that this new senior brother of Wu Zong was extremely prestigious.

"boom!"

Wu Yue rushed to the front, and his perfect golden body smashed directly onto the cave of the demon cultivator from Chi Ling City. This warrior was extremely brave, and he actually stretched out his palm, grabbed the divine mist of Dao that shot out from the cave, and forcibly dragged the giant demon. Then Lin Yu, who was from the eighth level of the cave, flashed behind the giant demon and locked his back with both hands.

The energy is flying.

The disciples of the Beijun family immediately landed on the ground and formed a formation. A long sword condensed from pure white energy chopped down and hit directly above the protective light of the Chiling City monster, causing a roar.

The scarlet demon eyes suddenly turned into a thin line.

The half-step Yin God demon from Chiling City felt pain, staggered a few times, and suddenly punched Wu Yue.

In the cave, the power of Tao burst out!

"Chucky!"

Hundreds of dense divine clouds pierced Wu Yue's palms and shoulders.

Although the Wuzong senior brother looked painful, he did not take a step back. He put his feet on the ground and clasped his palms to take the punch.

If he retreats.

When these divine laws of the Dao fall on the people behind him... it will be more than just a bloody hole.

"kill!"

Wu Yue roared in a low voice, murderous intent bursting out.

His whole body was burning with golden light.

In terms of defense, Wu Zong's mental method "Unmovable Mountain Body" is not inferior to the Buddhist mental method in the Cave Heaven Realm, and is even better.

Although he did not cultivate the cave heaven, a warrior needed to condense the "divine fetus" to be promoted to the Yin God. After Wu Yue shouted angrily, the bloody skin under the black shirt seemed to be cast in oil paint at this moment, shining with golden light and divine light.

A little golden figure turned into a shadow and sat between the eyebrows of this senior Wuzong brother!
He threw a punch!
The pupils of the half-step Yin God from Chiling City who followed Prince Jiu contracted.

The two men punched each other!
The demon cultivator's expression suddenly changed, and he took a step back. The aura around him exploded, and Lin Yu, who was locking his body tightly, was blown away by the powerful aura. On the other side, Wu Yue retreated several steps uncontrollably, and finally stepped firmly on the ground. His golden body still radiated a bright light, and his fighting spirit was high, ready to make the next round at any time.

Although Wu Yue did not have the upper hand in this punching match.

But in the eyes of the Chiling City Great Demon, the balance of victory and defeat in this match has changed...

obviously.

This young human warrior with a golden body is just one step away from touching the threshold of the divine fetus's Dao!

Hit it down.

This guy may break through at any time!
Moreover, there is more than one person on the human side!
The martial arts formation evolved by the descendants of the noble families in Beijun should not be underestimated. Apart from them, there are two people in the late Cave Heaven stage!

"I have to retreat first... first make peace with Lord Jiu, then settle accounts with these humans."

The thought has been settled.

The demon cultivator from Chiling City made a decision instantly.

He could tell.

Each of these young cultivators of the human race is a ruthless person who is willing to sacrifice his life... If he does not retreat, the human race's large formation will lock him up. If he is really locked here, even if the golden body warrior does not break through, he will die in a very miserable way!
Killed by the human wave tactics!

"Don't let it get away!"

Wu Yue looked at the big monster from Chiling City with red eyes and spoke in a low voice!
He sensed the big demon's intention to escape!

Over there in the alley.

"scold!"

All the young men of Beijun, descendants of the generals, immediately deployed the great formation...

But a pity.

There is a huge gap in the level of cultivation.

The great monster from Chiling City rose from the ground in an instant, and with just a little power of the Dao, it tore apart the unformed formation.

"pity."

Lin Yu looked pale and wiped the blood from the corner of his lips with the back of his palm.

"Did he escape again?" Many Beijun disciples felt regretful.

Beishou was invaded, and many people were killed by the demon cultivators from Chiling City!

Finally they had a chance to hunt down a real monster! They wanted to eat its flesh and chew its bones alive! Even if there were heavy casualties and they might die, they didn't care!

some years ago.

Their ancestors fought against the demons at the Northern Great Wall! This is how they fought!

"and many more……"

Wu Yue frowned, realizing something was wrong.

After breaking out of the encirclement.

The Chiling City monster did not flee immediately. Although it had no intention of fighting, it knew that these human cultivators could not trap it. After climbing up several dozen feet, it hovered high in the sky, looking around, ready to sense the direction of the Chiling City accomplices...

next moment.

The big monster's attention was attracted by the tower not far away.

There is a black shirt here, fluttering in the wind.

At the top of the tower, a young man in black holding an umbrella sword was looking quietly in his direction.

The big demon of Chiling City frowned.

This young man doesn't have a strong aura.

It looks like there is only a cave heaven, and it is the kind that has just been promoted.

A lone human monk?
Ridiculously so.

When the great monster from Chiling City looked at the young man standing on the top of the tower with cold eyes, it found that the latter did not look away.

Xie Xuanyi has been sensing the earth rumbling.

From the beginning to the end, he was just a "spectator". Now that he had watched enough of the show, it was almost time for him to take a rest.

The rumbling sound is approaching.

The commander and the cavalry will surely attack soon.

At this moment.

"What are you looking at, idiot?"

The demon's mocking voice echoed in the air.

"..."

Without waiting for Xie Xuanyi to speak.

The giant monster instantly rushed towards the tower, and the towering cave above its head cast a scarlet divine cloud containing the power of Tao!
"Xie Zhen! Be careful!"

this moment.

On the other side of the alley, the reminder from Wu Yue, the eldest brother of Wu Zong, swept into Xie Xuanyi's heart.

Xie Xuanyi moved his head slightly and looked towards Wu Yue.

He didn't step back.

This old tower is badly damaged. Perhaps the flag of the Great Moon Kingdom was flying here several years ago.

now.

Floating black shirt.

It's like a flag.

When Xie Xuanyi brushed past the big monster from Chiling City, it seemed like wild grass was unsheathed in the spring breeze, but in fact, the "Law of Destruction" in the sword energy cave was condensed to the limit, with 70% of its power contained in the sword energy.

In an instant, the sword lights crossed.

The pitch-black principle of destruction, mixed with the silver-white sword energy, exploded at the moment the umbrella was unscabbarded, densely covering the sky above the entire tower. Thousands of silver lines were like a flash of daylight in a rainy night with thunder, appearing for just a moment before closing again. The two figures went from moving to stillness. Xie Xuanyi was still standing on the tower, while the great monster from Chiling City maintained a "charging" posture and crashed out, crashing into a tall and abrupt old stone building on the ground. With its physical body, it could completely knock the stone building down, but unfortunately, this great monster from Chiling City that was expected to be promoted to a Yin God, the demonic energy all over its body began to disintegrate in mid-air, and its body disintegrated along with it.

Finally, a blood rain exploded in the air.

Xie Xuanyi calmly put the sword back into the sheath.

The demon's blood and corpses fell to the ground with crackling sounds.

"?!"

Over there in the alley.

Wuzong's eldest brother, Qin Wanyang, Lin Yu, the young men of Beijun, and the Qin Mansion's staff were all dead.

Lin Yu stared at the scene in a daze, his mouth unable to close.

What kind of sword realm is this?
"The Dao Principle..."

Qin Wanyang murmured, canceling the embarrassing teleportation array formation ceremony and slumped down in the alley: "This is definitely a law of the Tao..."

He's not the only one.

He figured out the secret of Xie Zhen's sword move just now.

It’s not really a secret.

The Dao principle that can defeat the great demon in the Half-Step Yin God Realm... must be a stronger Dao principle.

Xie Zhen’s cave is fuller than that of the big monster.

The Tao is more condensed and more powerful.

this moment.

The young people in Beijun and Lin Yu realized how ridiculous the "door-to-door boxing" organized in the Imperial City was.

Fangyuanfang actually only ranked Xie Zhen in the top three of the Tianjiao list?

Too conservative.

This should be the first place for sure!

Neither the Wuzong elder brother nor the Taishangzhai Daozi are qualified to compete with Xie Zhen...

The other holy sons have just achieved perfection in the cave heaven!
Xie Zhen has already begun to condense the Dao principles.

How do you fight this? What is there to fight about?

Among these people, the one with the ugliest expression was Lin Yu. He knew that he was no match for Xie Zhen. After the incident at the Lin Mansion, Lin Yu gradually calmed down and realized that something was wrong... But no matter what, the humiliation Xie Zhen had brought upon him was real. Before the Northern Hunt, he practiced very hard and wanted to ask Xie Zhen about the fist again. Right and wrong were all in the fist.

Now, how can I ask about this punch?
……

……

Xie Xuanyi jumped off the tower.

The big monster from Chiling City was chopped into dozens of pieces of different sizes by the way of destruction, but its life force was not directly cut off... Xie Xuanyi cut off its body, but did not directly behead it!
When the protective demonic light shattered in the air.

It then revealed its true form.

This is a young chicken that has become a spirit.

now.

Xie Xuanyi found the complete head of the giant monster in mid-air.

Without any hesitation, he directly invaded the latter's soul sea with his spirit and forcibly performed the "soul-searching" technique.

With such serious injuries, unless one is a Yang God who practices top-level healing methods, there is absolutely no hope of survival... The life of this young chicken was fading away at an extremely fast speed, but Xie Xuanyi only took a few breaths to forcibly plunder part of the memory of this broken soul sea.

Snow Mountain, Northern Hunting, hunting down Ao Ying.

The plan of Chiling City was in pieces and emerged in Xie Xuanyi's heart.

There was no need to "search the souls" of the assassins who were killed in the Ghost Ridge before. These people were at too low a level, and even if they were fortunate enough to serve beside Prince Jiu, they would not be able to get in touch with the core plan of Chiling City.

But this great demon is different.

Half a step to becoming a Yin God, condensing the principles of Tao, given time... this great demon has a chance to become the "Reverend Chick Chicken".

"Ao Ying stole the secret treasure of Chiling City [Phoenix Eyes]?"

"Prince Jiu blocked Li Lan Mountain in advance..."

"The human cultivators waited for the rescue of the Sun God and fled into the secret realm of the snowy mountains..."

After counting the breaths.

Xie Xuanyi let out a breath of foul air.

His soul search hastened Chick's death, but these memories were enough for him to understand the situation.

He glanced at the big demon and threw the head away in disgust.

At this moment.

A figure from the alley rushed over.

"Thank you, brother! Thank you, brother!"

Qin Wanyang came over shamelessly, with a smile on his face, and said, "Thank you so much for saving my life..."

"Don't call me Brother Xie, I don't know you well."

Xie Xuanyi didn't bother to pay attention to the young prince of the Qin Mansion, and said coldly: "Go wherever it's cool."

Just one sentence made the smile on Qin Wanyang's face freeze.

As the saying goes, don’t hit the smiling person.

What is his status and how noble is he?

In the Da Chu Imperial City, even the royal family has to give some face.

Qin Wanyang never expected that Xie Zhen would not give him any face at all!
"Little prince."

At this time, Wu Yue also spoke quietly, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice: "You are a descendant of a famous family. Didn't the formation you set up earlier bring shame to the Qin family?"

"..."

Qin Wanyang opened his mouth, but had nothing to say.

He also didn't expect that the "Breaking Void Formation" he formed, although unpopular and remote, was recognized by Senior Brother Wuzong.

but.

Wu Yue only mentioned it briefly and did not expose it further.

He looked solemnly at the black-clothed youth in front of him and clasped his fists solemnly: "Thank you, Zhen. Let's put things in perspective. Thank you for drawing your sword earlier."

"No need to thank me."

Xie Xuanyi said calmly: "Even if I'm not here, he is no match for you. What's more... I didn't intend to attack him, he came here to seek death."

This statement came out.

The eyes of the Beijun noble family looking at Xie Zhen, which had finally become gentle, became sharp again.

There was a hint of tension between the two sides.

"Not taking action is also a form of helping."

Wu Yue, the eldest brother of Wu Zong, said in a deep voice: "At this moment, not adding insult to injury is considered helping."

Xie Xuanyi looked at Wu Yue, raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Something interesting.

It seems that the disciple taught by Zhou is of the same generation as Zhou.

"The Jia Geng shipwrecked, I thought you were robbed."

Wu Yue asked curiously, "I didn't expect that we would meet here... I guess you don't know what's going on outside."

He was ready to explain to Xie Xuanyi.

The Northern Hunters were surrounded and killed.

"No need to say more."

Xie Xuanyi waved his hand, interrupting the voice of Senior Brother Wuzong. He looked into the distance and said slowly, "If you want to survive, it's better to stay away from me."

This action is rude though.

But soon.

Everyone heard a faint rumbling sound.

"This is?"

Wu Yue's expression changed as he sensed an extremely powerful aura.

This energy is "slowly" advancing towards where he is!
"Don't worry, this is for me."

Xie Xuanyi controlled the energy and rose up, floating in the air.

The rumbling of the earth gradually became louder, and the cavalry was approaching.

"This secret realm is called 'Da Yue'. It is a broken ancient country thousands of years ago..."

He thought about it and decided to take out a blank talisman, inject the information he had collected into it with his spiritual power, and send it to the hands of this senior brother of Wuzong.

It records the Dayue Iron Cavalry, the thousand-man commander, the ten-thousand-man commander, and some introductions to the ancient country.

In addition, there are some necessary texts recorded in the ancient books of Tiesuo Lane, as well as many secret formations and relatively safe hiding places that Xie Xuanyi discovered since he started riding the sword.

With this information.

These people can avoid casualties to the greatest extent and avoid dying in confusion.

"Thank...thank you, brother?"

Senior Brother Wu Zong just took a quick look with his mind and his expression became serious. He knew very well how important the information recorded in this talisman was.

Now Chiling City and the human race have stepped into this place together.

Who has more information?

Whoever has more advantages can seize more opportunities.

With this information, more young people participating in the Northern Hunt can survive!
Especially now the situation is very unfavorable to them... The big monster from Chiling City stepped into the secret realm first and may have already started a killing spree.

Wu Yue held the talisman in his hand and was about to look up to express his thanks sincerely.

next moment.

There was nothing in front of him.

Xie Xuanyi had already flown into the sky on his sword and disappeared without a trace.
