Embers of Sword

Chapter 281 Golden Sword
"it's over?"

Huang Su was a little confused and she looked at Xie Zhen in bewilderment.

What is the secret behind the third bamboo slip?
This farce was so big that it would be too embarrassing if it ended like this. Is the Supreme Master really going to retreat like this?

"It should be over."

Xie Xuanyi narrowed his eyes and glanced at the black spots mixed with sword energy in the distant sky.

His face remained expressionless, but he sneered in his heart... As expected, the old guy showed up after all.

There was a loud booing outside.

The crowd on Xining Street made way again. After Li Chen left Yuanqing Tower, he flew away. Prince Jiangning went back home without saying a word.

The public opinion that had been fermenting in the imperial city for ten days was shattered on this day.

The crowd on Xining Street looked at each other in bewilderment. They didn't expect this farce to start and end so quickly.

Is it over?

Huang Su had a complicated expression and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Xie Xuanyi saw what the other party was thinking, smiled and waved to a servant in the distance, then slapped down a stack of banknotes: "Tell the shopkeeper that I have reserved Yuanqinglou for today, and all the expenses for food and drinks will be charged to me."

Say it.

The two men left. Huang Su waved his sleeves to pull the flying swords. Two swords were swept down by the flowing clouds and hovered outside the restaurant. Xie Xuanyi didn't hesitate to step onto the flying sword directly.

……

……

"Why did the Supreme Master retreat?"

Fu Liuyun carried the two people and did not land in the imperial city, nor did it go too far away. It just climbed higher and flew above the clouds at a slow speed.

Obviously.

Huang Su wanted to have a conversation with Xie Zhen.

Her eyes fell on the third bamboo slip in the boy's hand with confusion.

"Master uncle wants to see it?"

Xie Xuanyi smiled slightly and threw out the third bamboo slip.

Huang Su quickly took it, scanned it with his mind, and showed a look of disappointment. He looked at the young man in front of him with resentment.

"empty?"

There was nothing on the third bamboo slip.

Xie Zhen used a diabolo to scare away the unreasonable Taishang Zhaizhu?

“Because of the Chongkan.”

At this moment, a quiet voice sounded in the air.

"Uncle Qi."

Xie Xuanyi moved his head without any surprise, and shouted naturally in the direction of the voice.

Now, he can call his former junior fellow apprentice "uncle" without batting an eyelid.

When the lightning faded away, the dark clouds above Xining Street began to glow with a faint golden light.

The golden light is extremely beautiful, but if you get close, you will feel the cold and murderous feeling.

"Have you seen me already?"

A slightly surprised voice was heard in the clouds.

The golden light dispersed.

A cold figure in a golden robe stood with his hands behind his back, with wisps of sword energy lingering around him.

Qi Lie was a little surprised by Xie Zhen's reaction.

"I didn't see it, I guessed it."

"Master Huang Su is young after all. Although he has reached the Yin God realm, he will inevitably suffer some losses if he faces the Supreme Master. Add to that the King of Jiangning, and the situation will be even worse... Since the Sword Palace has decided to come to the Imperial City, they will not just send one person."

Xie Xuanyi lied slightly here.

These words are well-founded and convincing.

But he didn't actually guess.

The soul that has reached the great perfection of the Yin Shen realm can directly "see" the truth.

After Huang Su used Fu Liuyun to cut through the void, a faint murderous intent was hidden in the sword formation.

At that moment, Xie Xuanyi knew.

There was more than one person coming through the air with Huang Su.

The sword energy of Jin'ao Peak is different from that of other peaks.

The golden sword was filled with murderous intent. Even though Qi Lie was standing above the clouds, hiding his power, Xie Xuanyi could still sense it clearly. He knew that once the Supreme Master chose to take action, Qi Lie would intervene in the battle as the law enforcer of Jin'ao Peak.

"Just now, I saw the aura of Chongkan."

Qi Lie stood on the golden sword.

He looked at the end of the clouds, frowned and said, "The Chief Lawyer once said that there are several great practitioners in Da Chu who need to be vigilant. Chongkan is one of them. The methods of this Taoist master are profound and unfathomable. Li Chen is his disciple. The reason why he chose to retreat... must be because of Chongkan's order."

"Chongkan asked Lichen to calm down?"

Huang Su raised his eyebrows to confirm that he had not heard wrongly.

She was even more surprised.

She also knew the character of the great Taoist Chongkan.

Unlike Xiaoyaozi's gentle manner, Chongkan killed many people in the battle of drinking poison. During the years when the Dao Sect and the Sword Palace were on par with each other, Chongkan the Great Immortal and Tongtian Zhanglu were often compared. These two great Yangshen monks had similar temperaments and personalities, and were both extremely tough people.

"Xie Zhen. What evidence do you have?"

Qi Lie was a little worried.

He is very clear.

The other party will not retreat without a reason... Although the name of Dashui Sword Palace is useful, the opponent is the Taoist sect, one of the few giants that can suppress the Sword Palace.

"Xie Sheng is Chongkan's plaything, and the Red Dragon's luck is the fruit of Chongkan's cultivation."

Xie Xuanyi did not hide anything and frankly told the truth: "I discovered the truth about the Red Dragon's destiny, and Chongkan did not want me to make this public."

This sentence was like thunder in broad daylight. Huang Su and Qi Lie looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

"I see……"

Huang Su muttered to himself and couldn't help but sneer: "The Dao Sect and the Xie family actually have such an ugly collusion. No wonder Xie Zhisui's attitude is so strange, he is afraid that the scandal will be exposed and known to everyone in the world."

"good."

Xie Xuanyi said calmly: "But it was indeed not me who killed Xie Sheng. If the Dao Sect wants to settle this matter, they can only go find Ao Ying."

Without any hesitation, he shook Ao Ying out.

After working so hard to send Ao Ying from Dayue Kingdom and back to Demon Kingdom...this is what we have been waiting for.

If we don’t use this “trump card” now, when will we use it?
After a confrontation at Yuanqing Tower, Xie Sheng’s death was “clarified”.

People all over the world wanted the truth, and they got the truth.

If Chongkan wants to find the Red Dragon, he must also go and settle accounts with the witch.

This is Xie Xuanyi’s response strategy.

I think that great master has great power, so he should have a way to check remotely whether there is any remnant of Red Dragon's luck left on him...

The reason why he was so calm was because everything he said was true.

Xie Xuanyi was not interested in the Red Dragon's luck, and did not take any of it.

"interesting."

Huang Su rubbed his brows, reviewed the situation carefully, and chuckled, "Looking at Li Chen's reluctant look before he left, it seems that this guy doesn't know anything."

It was a huge scandal after all.

Xie Zhisui and Chongkan both knew the truth about the Red Dragon's destiny.

This matter is extremely secretive and no third person should know about it.

"It's a good thing to hold this trump card. But you can't take it lightly and release it casually."

Qi Lie pondered for a moment and said solemnly: "Xie Zhen, you must remember that Great Master Chongkan is not someone you can afford to offend at the moment. He will take revenge... If Great Master Yangshen disregards the rules and wants to kill someone, it will be very difficult to stop him."

Xie Xuanyi naturally understood this reminder.

In fact, Jian Palace is not afraid of the great immortal Chongkan standing on the stage.

Even if we put aside the retreating Chunyang Sect Leader, there is still the Tongtian Palm Ruler from Jin'ao Peak to support him.

But if you get angry, it will be hard to say.

If Yang Shen wants to kill someone, there are many ways for him to do so.

What's more, Chongkan currently controls the entire Taoist sect.

"And Li Chen, this guy is also not someone you can easily mess with. Although Chongkan stepped in this time and suppressed the Supreme Master, this matter... probably won't end there."

Qi Lie spoke seriously, word by word: "The rules of the martial arts world are that it is a matter for the younger generation and should be resolved by the younger generation. But you killed Fang Hang, which is a real grudge. Li Chen will most likely not let it go."

"I know."

Xie Xuanyi looked normal.

How could he not know who Li Chen was?
This Supreme Master was a ruthless person. He had finally nurtured a good talent over the years, but the talent was killed right after he entered the martial arts world and had yet to become famous.

"Your Uncle Qi and I will stay in the Imperial City for the next few days."

Huang Su said, "I am in the light, he is in the dark. We will stay as long as the Supreme Master stays in the Imperial City."

"My two uncles, this is a bit too grand..."

This time it was Xie Xuanyi's turn to be a little surprised.

He understood Huang Su's character. The junior sister was quiet by nature. After she was brought back to Dasui Sword Palace, she spent most of her time in seclusion practicing, such as sitting on the top of a mountain and meditating.

The imperial city is noisy and bustling, Huang Su will definitely not like it here.

"Master Chunyang reminded me before he went into seclusion that I must not let you get hurt."

Huang Su looked at the young man in front of him seriously.

"In the next few days, I will keep an eye on the Tai Shang Zhai Master. If he tries to play dirty tricks, I will make the entire Tai Shang Zhai pay the price..."

As he spoke, sword energy emanated from the clouds.

The Fu Liuyun sword formation trembled slightly, and the sound of swords rang out in the sky.

Xie Xuanyi knew that every word Huang Su said was true.

Junior sister’s murderous intent is only slightly less than mine.

"If I can't defeat Li Chen, then there is still Qi Lie. If Chong Kan takes action, Zhang Lu will also take action."

Huang Su said in a gentle voice, "In the worst case, both sides should call out their masters and let Master Chunyang and Xiaoyaozi talk things out."

"..."

These comforting words made Xie Xuanyi hold his forehead with his hand.

He couldn't help but have a headache. If things got to this point, how would it end?
If Fang Hang knew that the trouble caused after his death would involve the secluded masters of both the Taoist and Sword Palace, he would probably be able to rest in peace in the underworld, right?

"Things won't come to this."

Qi Lie said calmly: "Although Li Chen is crazy, he also knows the importance of the situation. With us here, he dare not attack you. At most, he will vent his anger on Yuan Jimo."

"Too."

Xie Xuanyi asked curiously, "Uncle Qi, don't we need to guard Yuping Peak anymore?"

After the Xuanshui competition, Jiang Miaoyin went into the back mountains to practice self-reflection and cultivation.

Qi Lie accepted the order, took on the responsibility of the mountain master, and personally guarded Yuping Peak.

With such an identity, how could he leave the Sword Palace without permission?
Qi Lie saw what Xie Zhen was thinking and said slowly, "I left the mountain this time because of the order of the Lord Law Officer. He will be guarding Yuping Peak for me for a while. I came to the Imperial City to do some things for him and meet some people."

Although Qi Lie is not the current master of Jin'ao Peak.

But everyone knows that it is only a matter of time.

Tongtian Zhanglu intends to sharpen Qi Lie, making this most upright sword of Dasui Sword Palace sharper and more restrained.

"..."

Xie Xuanyi remained calm and thought silently in his heart.

What on earth could have happened that caused the Chief Law Enforcer to send Qi Lie, who was guarding Yuping Peak, to the Imperial City?
