Embers of Sword

Chapter 35 What is the root cause of the problem?

"So, it doesn't matter whether you believe me or not."

“The truth is right in front of us.”

Lu Yuzhen said calmly: "I think you have already realized that there is something wrong with the position of your Dantian... Even if I don't tell you this, you will find out the truth sooner or later when you condense the cave heaven in the future."

"The Fountain of Immortality... is in my body?"

Xie Xuanyi looked confused.

He reached out and gently pressed his lower abdomen.

A burning and hot breath lingered in the dantian area.

Lu Yuzhen smiled slightly, saying everything.

"We meet tonight for this matter."

The Taoist priest in white robe said: "With the death of the Great Venerable Mo Zhi, his promise of rebirth has also vanished... But those cultivators who know the existence of the 'Immortal Spring' will not let it go. Now that the Great Chu Dynasty is in a precarious and turbulent time, the Demon Country will only be more chaotic. In order to fight for the treasures left by the Great Venerable Mo Zhi, several great venerables have already fought each other."

"It can be said that over the years, the entire demon country, as well as the human race's top leaders, have been searching for Mozhen's 'Immortal Fountain'."

Lu Yuzhen smiled and said, "So, I must remind you that this is more dangerous than exposing Xie Xuanyi's identity. If the Great Chu Imperial City knew that Xie Xuanyi was still alive, it would just be another Battle of the North Sea. But if the world knew that the Immortal Fountain was on you, then... "

If what Lu Yuzhen said is true.

Xie Xuanyi couldn’t imagine what kind of waves the Immortal Spring would create in the entire world.

Great opportunity, great fortune.

It means great danger!
Xie Xuanyi has always understood this principle.

"what do you want?"

Xie Xuanyi came straight to the point.

He knew that there was no kindness without reason, and there would be no free lunch!
"readily."

Lu Yuzhen raised a thumbs up, first exclaimed in admiration, and then said with regret: "I heard that several years ago, Mo Jue was just a small demon beast. With the help of the 'Immortal Spring', he became a great master of the demon country. He had countless heroes under his command and could stir up the world with one hand. But there was only one thing that he could not solve until his death."

"That is because the number of Immortal Fountains is limited."

"After Mo Zhe's death, the immortal spring water he left behind will be gone if we use every drop."

Lu Yuzhen sighed, "I was lucky enough to get a few drops, and I wanted to try to get more, but unfortunately, I have tried countless times over the years, but all ended in failure. This immortal spring seems to need a 'host' with a suitable physique to be derived... There may not be one such person among millions of people."

Xie Xuanyi sneered and said, "You don't mean to say that I am that one in ten million."

"what."

Lu Yuzhen laughed awkwardly, and said nothing more afterwards, just staring at Xie Xuanyi with burning eyes.

"So you want the Fountain of Immortality?"

Xie Xuanyi frowned and said, "This thing... The demon country worships it as a sacred object, I don't want it. If you want it, I can give it to you. The cause and effect of the North Sea ten years ago will be resolved here."

"No no no."

Lu Yuzhen quickly shook his head: "I told you before... I have the immortal spring water. Although I have used some, there is still some left."

Xie Xuanyi was silent.

"Xie Xuanyi, I want you to 'live'."

Lu Yuzhen said meaningfully: "How many heroes in the world can live a second life? In this life, I hope you can live well, practice to a higher level than before, and truly stand at the top of the world."

"Heh, why do these words sound so ironic?"

Everyone in the world wants Xie Xuanyi dead.

But Lu Yuzhen wants to live on her own.

Xie Xuanyi asked, "Aren't you afraid that the first thing I will do after I recover my cultivation is to kill you?"

"Go ahead and kill him."

Lu Yuzhen smiled and said, "If I die in your hands, it means that this is my fate. I will die under your sword."

"You...are really crazy."

Xie Xuanyi said coldly: "You should know that my spiritual realm is very high. It is easy to tell whether I am a friend or an enemy..."

"From the first moment I saw you, I knew you were not a good person."

Precisely.

Before meeting Lu Yuzhen, I only heard about Lu Yuzhen's existence from Deng Baiyi.

Xie Xuanyi had already made a subjective judgment...

This guy is not a good person.

Lu Yuzhen just smiled, not annoyed at all, and had no intention of refutation.

"As long as there is a one in ten million chance that I can become friends with you, Xuan Yi, Yu Zhen will be satisfied."

He grinned, "As I said before, even if we can't be friends, we don't necessarily have to be mortal enemies... Maybe what we are going to do is actually the same?"

Xie Xuanyi frowned slightly.

"Those people who attacked you ten years ago are still alive and well."

Lu Yuzhen smiled and said, "Yinshan, Imperial City Division, Tianxiazhai, Dasui Sword Palace... Even if you really want to kill me, you have to sort them out according to the order of cause and effect, first come first served, right?"

Xie Xuanyi took a deep breath. Settlement!

Of course he will settle accounts!

He will settle all the grudges from the past without leaving out a single one!

But he heard a word from Lu Yuzhen's mouth that shouldn't have appeared.

"...Da Sui Sword Palace?"

Xie Xuanyi murmured.

"Why, are you surprised?"

"Think carefully, when you fled north, who knew the route you chose?"

"If there is no traitor in Dasui Sword Palace, how could your whereabouts be exposed..."

Lu Yuzhen smiled and said, "Yinshan White Ghost chased you for three thousand miles. Where did he get the information? Ten years have passed. You can't be unable to figure out this?"

Xie Xuanyi fell into silence for a long time.

He recalled the words "Da Sui Sword Palace" and what came to his mind was...

There are countless admired faces.

Countless respectful praises.

The calls of "Senior Brother" echoed in the lake of my heart.

"No, I don't believe it."

Xie Xuanyi raised his head with a cold expression: "Dasui gave birth to me and raised me. My master treated me with great kindness. I grew up there! No one knows the Sword Palace better than me! They have no reason to betray me!"

“There are always many unreasonable things in this world.”

"Whatever. Don't believe it."

Lu Yuzhen laughed.

He said slowly, "The Sword Palace has been sealed for ten years. Counting the days, it will be unsealed soon. After the incident in Lichao City is over, you can go back to the sect and check on those 'old people' from back then. With your ability, it shouldn't be difficult to find out the truth of ten years ago."

Xie Xuanyi raised his head angrily and looked at the Taoist priest in white robe in front of him.

He held out his palm.

In the distant river tide, a clanging sound was heard from afar.

"Buzz!"

An ink-colored flying sword appears particularly dazzling in the dark sky!
"Serious illness."

Lu Yuzhen looked at the pitch-black flying sword that was several miles away. The smile on his face faded and his eyes became more serious.

He uttered two words with regret: "What a pity."

The black flying sword swept forward in the river tide for only a hundred feet before disappearing in an instant.

Xie Xuanyi stood in front of Lichao City, communicating with his natal flying sword with his mind.

He could feel it.

[Chronic illness] is right under the river!
At that moment, the connection between his natal flying sword and himself was established, and then the scene of the flying sword breaking through the river occurred!
But the next moment, the shadow of the serious illness was wiped out.

Countless waves surged like lions, swallowing it up.

Xie Xuanyi's face was as gloomy as water, and he stared at the river tide in the distance.

The breath of the chronic illness has disappeared...but the trembling sound in the heart lake is still there.

Xie Xuanyi was very sure.

My natal flying sword is in this river!

It was just "suppressed" by something!

"What a pity... I won't have the chance to see Brother Xuanyi's natal flying sword today."

Lu Yuzhen turned around, without any precautions, and sat cross-legged on the undulating river surface with his back to Xie Xuanyi, looking at the tide in the distance.

He smiled and exclaimed: "I heard that the Great Saint 'Bai Ze' a thousand years ago once possessed an incredible supreme holy treasure. That treasure can erase the cause and effect of the world. Even if it is incomplete or damaged, it can erase or cut off the connection between the cultivator and his life object... It's a pity that after Bai Ze passed away, his cave was hidden in the dust and no one knows where this treasure is."

Xie Xuanyi was stunned.

Lu Yuzhen suddenly talked about something that was unrelated to this matter: "Back then, Great Venerable Mo Jue obtained countless blessings with the help of the 'Immortal Spring'... It is said that he has a mountain of treasures under his command, but unfortunately, most of them have been branded with his soul and engraved with Dao patterns. Even if those great venerables take action, it will take a lot of effort to refine them."

Halfway through speaking, there was a slight pause.

He smiled meaningfully and said, "But if we can get this treasure left by Bai Ze, then erasing the Dao patterns won't be a problem anymore, right?"

A word that breaks the sky.

Xie Xuanyi suddenly understood why the Demon Country went to such great lengths to send Bai Ze’s finger bone into the country!

"Brother Xuanyi, since we have another chance, why not put aside your pride and enjoy this life."

Lu Yuzhen said in a gentle voice: "This game in Lichao City is really interesting."
