Embers of Sword

Chapter 239 Reconciliation
Tiesuo Lane was completely leveled.

Prince Jiu withdrew his hand and no longer looked at Li Mei who was completely crushed by him.

The divine consciousness expands to its maximum.

But within the range of perception... Xie Zhen's breath was still missing.

obviously.

The power of the Tao just now sent the two people to a far place.

Prince Jiu narrowed his eyes.

He stared at where the main city was.

That is the direction Qingmang is heading. If I am not mistaken, that is the core area of the "Dayue Kingdom".

"..."

Prince Jiu frowned, took out the Chiling Order, and fell into deep thought.

This token is connected to the demon hearts of three shadow guards.

now.

Then only one was left.

The iron bee and the molten cicada are both dead.

Unfortunately, Chi Wu blocked a sword for himself and died here. Otherwise, Chi Wu would have taken the last shadow guard "Frost Moth" to Dayue Kingdom to be responsible for intercepting and killing the human race.

"Frost Moth."

Think for a moment.

Prince Jiu still sent the message through his soul.

“…Prince!”

Frost Moth replied immediately, very respectfully.

"Iron Bee, Melting Cicada, Chi Wu, all dead."

Prince Jiu spoke calmly, "You are the only Shadow Guard left in Chiling City... I want you to patrol the northern part of the ancient city and kill all the human cultivators below the Yin God Realm that you encounter. Don't let them complete the reunion. Also, be careful, as the three human Yin Gods have not yet revealed their whereabouts."

"What, all the shadow guards except me are dead?!"

Frost Moth was shocked and asked quickly, "My Lord, what happened?"

"…Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."

Prince Jiu said coldly: "I will go to the center of the ancient country's formation next. You only need to kill as many human beings as possible, and don't worry about anything else."

to him.

The most important thing when entering the secret realm this time is to find Ao Ying and take back the secret treasure [Phoenix Eyes] of Chi Ling City.

The second most important thing is to kill the human genius.

After all, running into Beishou was just an unexpected surprise.

The situation was not so passive before. With Chi Wuyi's death, he no longer had any cards left in his hand...

With his strength, he could certainly kill people in the ancient country.

But Prince Jiu felt a little worried.

He always felt.

If you do this, you will miss a great opportunity!

The Taoist miracle that had just destroyed the Five-Colored Divine Furnace was beyond his understanding.

What kind of good fortune is left in this ancient country?

An ordinary "old man" can actually take charge of the avenue for the first time in history!
This good fortune is most likely in the Dayue Well!

Since heading south, Lord Jiu has always separated a wisp of his spiritual consciousness and placed it inside the [Dragon Yuan], constantly sensing Ao Ying's whereabouts.

When he broke the void earlier, he tried to use the dragon essence to lock the position of this witch.

No matter what!

Ao Ying’s speed was extremely fast and erratic, making it impossible for Dragon Yuan to sense it!

This evil woman must have used the secret treasure of Chiling City [Phoenix Eyes]!
One moment, she was still in the north of the ancient city, and the next moment, she was somewhere else... The final landing point was also inside the core of the ancient city! It should be the same place as Xie Zhen's!
……

……

"Elder brother, what should we do now?"

"Can we really believe what Xie Zhen said?"

Southern part of Otsuki Kingdom.

The disciples of Wu Zong, the noble families of Beijun, the retainers of Qin Family, and some independent practitioners gathered together and discussed the matter.

These people are headed by Wu Yue.

After Xie Xuanyi killed Rong Chan, Wu Yue knew that if the corpse of this half-step demon lord was not dealt with, it would definitely bring disaster to everyone. The disciples of Wu Zong focused on physical cultivation, so Prince Qin came forward and burned it with magic weapon array patterns. He dealt with the scene properly and erased all traces of the soul. The group then headed south... He carefully followed the contents of Xie Zhen's jade slip, avoiding the iron cavalry all the way, and approached the edge of the shadow.

Xie Xuanyi stayed here the longest and obtained the most information.

He had figured it out long ago.

The Dayue Kingdom was destroyed thousands of years ago.

now.

The entire ancient country, or rather the entire ancient city, relies on a national protection formation to operate.

Those cavalrymen said they were patrolling their homeland and marching through the streets.

But in fact, they all walked out from the main city...

Theoretically speaking.

If you want to "stay alive", you just need to stay away from the main city. In this way, even if you do something that violates the iron law, you will not immediately provoke too powerful existence. With the perfect strength of the Northern Hunting Prodigies, as long as they don't encounter the "Captain of Ten Thousand Men" leading the cavalry to charge, their lives will not be in danger.

and so……

The jade slip he gave pointed out the direction.

If Wu Yue wants to survive with everyone, he should stay away from the main city and head south!
But this path also has disadvantages!
The road is dilapidated and desolate, and it becomes more and more desolate as we go along!

Qin Wanyang had a gloomy face and was a little unhappy: "Did Xie Zhen deliberately send us away? I heard that there is a great fortune hidden in this ancient country. Now we are getting further and further away from the fortune..."

These remarks are indeed quite touching.

This time, the hunt was in the north.

Who doesn’t come here for good fortune?

Being hunted down by Prince Jiu of Chiling City was a complete surprise.

However... this place is a complete and undamaged ancient country. If we get close to the city and find the cave dwellings of the great monks of the ancient country, we may be able to discover treasures and secret techniques. At worst, we may be able to pick up the corresponding lost ancient texts!

"Little prince."

Wu Yue stopped in his tracks. He was not going to pamper the young master of the Qin Mansion.

The previous incident at the city gate regarding fist fighting.

He already understood the whole story. His junior brother Lin Yu was completely treated as a swordsman by Qin Wanyang... The incident at the Lin Mansion later also left strong traces. If Qin Wanyang had not acted as a "lobbyist" at the beginning, how could the tragedy have happened later?
Because of this incident, Wu Yue had a bad impression of Qin Wanyang.

He immediately stopped and asked calmly, "There is good fortune hidden in this ancient country. Who told you that?"

"I……"

Qin Wanyang paused for a moment and responded calmly: "Why, do you need a name if you just heard it from someone?"

it's actually really easy.

After Xie Sheng and the other two blocked the snow mountain.

He was the first person to break into this place and enter the secret realm!

If there was no good fortune here, how could the three Taoists of Tai Shang Zhai seal off the snow mountain?

"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me, young prince. It's actually very simple. I am the leader of the team and I am only responsible for one thing, which is to keep everyone alive... If you want to go find your destiny, you can go. If anyone else wants to go with you, they can also leave together."

Wu Yue smiled and said, "But I want to remind you that the demon cultivators from Chiling City have already invaded this place. Wherever there is good fortune, you may encounter demon cultivators."

"..."

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured down my face.

Many people have given up the unrealistic idea of competing for connections.

in fact.

Beijun and Wuzong's descendants are quite united.

They followed Wu Yue from beginning to end and never had any other bad intentions.

On the contrary, it was the retainers that Qin Wanyang temporarily recruited, as well as those independent cultivators who survived the Northern Hunt, who wanted to "seek wealth and honor in danger" and see if they could try their luck.

"I'm talking to Brother Wu."

Qin Wanyang gritted his teeth and said unhappily, "Putting aside the chance and destiny, isn't the path you took us on a bit strange? You're not really following the jade slip that Xie Zhen gave you, are you?"

"otherwise?"

Wu Yue glanced at Qin Wanyang and said, "I'll let you lead the way, and then be killed by the demon cultivators again?"

"you……"

Qin Wanyang's face turned blue with anger and his fingers were shaking.

He is of noble status, but it is useless.

This crude warrior doesn't care about the Qin family at all!
After taking a deep breath.

Qin Wanyang calmed down and asked unwillingly, "Do you trust Xie Zhen so much?"

"Xie Zhen killed the demon cultivator from Chiling City. In a sense, he not only saved me, but also saved you."

Wu Yue looked calm.

He knew very well what would have happened if Xie Zhen had not drawn his sword. The demon cultivators from Chiling City who had killed Beishu this time were extremely powerful. They should all be the "shadow guards" around Lord Jiu, in charge of the incomplete Dao rules, and perhaps there were also pseudo-Yin gods!
This level of combat power, once gathered together, can completely launch a dimensionality reduction attack.

On the human side, except for a few young geniuses who could barely hold out...

Others have no way to resist!

"Moreover."

Wu Yue smiled faintly and said, "I saw that the young prince's attitude towards Xie Zhen before seemed very respectful, calling him Brother Xie all the time. Why did he change his attitude now and even changed his address?"

"You want to say that I was arrogant at first and respectful later? Xie Zhen is a man of uncertain moods. I was just assessing the situation."

Qin Wanyang spoke angrily, but his rebuttal was really weak.

He wanted to call for help and see if anyone was willing to leave with him...

But unfortunately, look around.

No one cares about me at all.

When he was attacked by the demon cultivators from Chiling City, he ordered his men to resist and secretly formed a formation to escape. This really corrupted people's hearts.

Now we are facing a powerful enemy and life and death are decided by fate.

The guests in the Qin Mansion no longer obeyed his orders.

At this moment, it is uncertain whether one can survive. The Qin family's reputation has completely lost its effect.

A long sigh.

Qin Wanyang said nothing more and followed the team south silently.

"Young prince, you're not leaving?"

Wu Yue transmitted the voice faintly.

"...Let's take another look." Qin Wanyang gritted his teeth and spoke shamelessly.

Not long after.

This team then encountered the second group of people.

They were the female swordsman from Yuqingzhai and the cultivator from Baihua Valley who escaped from the Daxu formation and crossed the river.

It's hard not to notice these women riding swords.

And among them, there is also an extremely eye-catching red-robed figure.

“Brother Wu!”

From a distance, Yuwen Zhong could sense Wu Yue's aura.

He released his divine thoughts and waved his hands quickly.

"Someone is coming!"

Wu Yue's eyes lit up, and he hurried forward with everyone.

"Saint Son Yuwen, Fairy Shang!"

He looked at the mighty team riding swords and breathed a sigh of relief. The jade slip left by Xie Zhen marked the location of the Dragon Script Formation, and also pointed out the approximate location of everyone in Yuqingzhai with his soul.

With the meager strength of the human race, we want to survive.

Of course we have to stick together first!

The successful reunion at this moment is enough to prove that Xie Zhen did not deceive himself.

The two groups met successfully and both sides were very happy.

The current situation is extremely urgent.

Every extra ally is crucial.

Wu Yue did not keep anything to himself. He quickly copied out the contents of the jade slip and sent it to Shang Yi of Yuqingzhai and Yuwen Shengzi.

“This is… good stuff.”

Shang Yi took a casual glance and was shocked by the contents of the jade slip.

This jade slip contains detailed markings of the map of Dayue, the patterns of the Yinqi's appearances, and some iron laws that cannot be violated.

Yuwen Zhong was surprised and asked, "Brother Wu, where did this come from?"

Wu Yue smiled and said, "Oh, this is a gift from Xie Zhen. He killed a great demon for us. That great demon has already mastered the power of the Tao and may be promoted to a demon lord at any time!"

This is good news.

But after opening his mouth.

The atmosphere at Yuqingzhai became subtle and strange.

Wu Yue noticed the expressions of the female sword practitioners in Yuqingzhai, who seemed to be hiding something.

Before he could ask.

Qin Wanyang stepped forward, interrupted, frowned and asked: "Yuwen Zhong, aren't you with Xie Sheng and Fang Hang? Where are the other two?"

"This...is a long story."

Yuwen Zhong sighed softly.

After a while.

Yuqingzhai told all the stories about his experiences and encounters with the Longwen Formation.

On Wu Yue's side, everyone looked at each other.

"Xie Zhen...killed Prince Jiangning?"

Wu Yue rubbed his eyebrows, he didn't know what to say.

This news is indeed shocking.

"This is unreasonable."

The person who hated Xie Xuanyi the most was Lin Yu.

At this moment, Lin Yu spoke up. He was quite calm: "If Xie Zhen was really a demon who killed innocent people, why did he save us? Why did he give us the jade slip?"

"It's very simple."

Qin Wanyang sneered at this moment: "Xie Zhen is not only a demon, but also a hypocrite. He just wants everyone to think he is noble."

"There must be something fishy about this."

Wu Yue shook his head and said calmly: "I don't know what kind of person Xie Zhen is. But I know that if he hates Xie Sheng, he will hate us as well. If he is really a demon, we should not be alive."

Yong'an Street that night.

Wuzong, the "hatred" between the Beijun family and Xie Zhen has already been formed.

This hatred is real.

These powerful people in Beijun found a lot of people and went to Chen's house to ask about boxing, disturbing Xie Zhen's leisure.

This account.

Xie Zhen has never been settled.

"especially you."

Wu Yue looked at Qin Wanyang and said seriously: "In front of us, Xie Zhen should hate you the most. He has already killed Xie Sheng, so why doesn't he kill you?"

"..."

Qin Wanyang was very angry, but also very powerless.

He really wanted to say that he couldn't kill anyone or anyone.

But then I thought about it.

The Qin family is one of the three major royal families with different surnames, and so is the Jiangning Xie family.

That Xie Sheng is even the only son of Xie family!

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Qin Wanyang immediately became obedient, his face looking somewhat pale. After he had survived this calamity and returned to the imperial city alive, he would never provoke Xie Zhen again no matter what.

Why did he feel that this disciple of Xie Xuanyi was as crazy as Xie Xuanyi was back then?
"We'll discuss right and wrong after we get out."

Wu Yue said calmly: "If Xie Zhen killed Xie Sheng, then Jiangning Xie Clan will go and settle accounts with Dasui Sword Palace. If Xie Zhen didn't kill him, he can use his heart lake spirit as evidence."

"Brother Wu is right."

Shang Yi, who had a bad impression of Xie Zhen, also spoke at this moment.

She lowered her eyes slightly.

There is not much contact between me and Xie Zhen.

But she had a vague answer in her heart.

She felt that Xie Zhen was different from what everyone said.

"Now that we have met, let's prove that there is no problem with the jade slip that Xie Zhen left behind."

Yuwen Zhong grinned and said, "If he intends to harm people, those cavalrymen will not let Yuqingzhai go. I'm sure our encounter this time will become extremely difficult."

"so……"

Qin Wanyang was too lazy to say anything more. He gritted his teeth and asked, "With so many of us gathered together, what should we do?"

The two groups of people successfully joined forces.

It seems that there is not much meaning.

“…Stay.”

Wu Yue said leisurely: "Xie Zhen's jade slip said that after we meet, it would be best for us to stay away from the 'main city' of Dayue Nation."

"The farther away you are, the less good fortune you have."

"But correspondingly, it is also safer."
