Embers of Sword

Chapter 411 Ci Jing
"Thank you, Zhen!"

Jiang Huang jumped and came to Xie Xuanyi.

The little guy's eyes were full of joy.

It has been a while since the two of them separated. During this time, the True Phoenix blood in Jiang Huang's body has awakened a lot. Xie Xuanyi can feel that this small body in front of him already contains a considerable amount of energy. In a sense... this little guy can also be regarded as a "reincarnated cultivator", but the soul of the first life is currently in a forbidden state.

There are considerable differences in the body structure between demons and humans.

There is a huge treasure hidden in Jiang Huang's body.

Now that he is practicing with the great demon Suzaku, this treasure has been completely stimulated -

"I am back."

Xie Xuanyi's eyes softened and he stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the little guy's head.

Snapped!
The hand was grabbed rudely by the great demon Suzaku.

"You kid, you should know the difference between 'shemales', right?"

The great demon Suzaku sent a faint voice.

He did not have a good impression of the young man in front of him.

Jiang Huang is a descendant of phoenix blood!

According to blood, she should call him "big brother". During this period of time, he personally taught her the cultivation method and the knowledge of the demon country sealed in the Sea of Gods...but Jiang Huang was not interested in these.

This is what makes the great demon Suzaku most depressed.

In the demon country, the pure-blooded descendants, the stronger their bloodline, the more rebellious their character.

But Jiang Huang is different!
Perhaps it was because of the blockade of the "Main God's Soul".

When Jiang Huang opened his eyes in this life, the first person he saw was Xie Zhen.

So in her heart.

Xie Zhen is her "relative".

Xie Xuanyi raised his eyebrows: "What do you want to say, senior?"

"Simply speaking of bloodline talent, looking at the Monster Country, the pure-blooded Suzaku is not weaker than any other big monster!"

The Suzaku Demon said proudly: "And this little girl Jiang Huang...her bloodline talent is even better than mine. Now that I am teaching her, she will definitely be able to break through to the Yang God realm in time."

Xie Xuanyi asked: "So?"

Zhuque said coldly: "As long as I am here, you can't deceive her and lock her up in the deep mountains of Dasui Sword Palace."

Xie Xuanyi shook his head and said softly, "Senior, have you forgotten that it was 'Lotus Reverend' who brought you back here several years ago?"

Venerable Lotus.

These three words swept into the lake of my heart, and like a stone they caused a thousand waves.

The great demon Suzaku was a little dazed.

some years ago.

It was Venerable Lian who saved its life and brought it back to Dasui Sword Palace, which is why it is where it is today.

"When Master Lian brought you back to the Sword Palace, you were still weak."

Xie Xuanyi said calmly: "Now you always want to break through the sword energy blockade and escape from the Sword Palace... If Venerable Lian was alive, would you still think so?"

"..."

The great Suzaku demon fell silent.

It practiced with Venerable Lian for a very long time, and even signed a soul contract with him, willingly guarding the mountain gate for the Dashui Sword Palace.

Venerable Lian gave his true heart.

It is the same.

It’s just... a battle of drinking poison that completely ignited and detonated the conflict between the human race and the demon race!

Venerable Lian fell on the battlefield in the northern border.

When the bad news came, the great demon Suzaku was unwilling to continue guarding the mountain gate.

He wanted nothing more than to leave Dasui Sword Palace.

On the one hand, as a great demon, he did not want to stay in the human country.

On the other hand, he wanted to return to the Demon Kingdom to avenge "Master Lian".

It’s a pity that Suzaku didn’t have this opportunity.

Zhao Tongtian suppressed it with the "Golden Ao Peak Sword Qi Array", preventing Zhuque from leaving the back mountain.

Plus the arrogant Zhao Chunyang.

Zhuque was pressed on the back mountain of Jin'ao Peak, year after year. The hatred and anger he felt back then gradually shifted and faded away... Until now, he no longer knew who he should hate.

"Brother..."

Jiang Huang's silver bell-like voice came from beside him.

The little girl with pigtails shook the sleeve of the Suzaku demon, blinked her big eyes, and pleaded in a low voice: "Brother Xie Zhen is back, can we not practice boxing today?"

The big demon was in a trance.

After a long time.

The big demon loosened the hand that was tightly grasping Xie Xuanyi's wrist, took a step back, and said in a hoarse voice: "...Go."

……

……

The great demon Suzaku sat alone on the stone pillar of sword energy.

He rested his chin on his hand and looked into the distance.

Sword energy was lingering, and outside the formation, a young man in black was walking away with a little girl with pigtails.

The demon didn't look back, but sneered, "What are you doing here?"

"Nothing to do, just come to see you."

A figure appeared out of nowhere and stood behind the great Suzaku demon.

Tong Tian Zhang Lu said calmly: "After so many years of fighting and arguing, can't we take a break?"

"I want to rest."

The Suzaku demon sneered, "It's just that someone is afraid that I will escape, so the sword formation above my head has never stopped for a day."

The mountain behind Jin'ao Peak is the forbidden area that is most strictly guarded by Dashui Sword Palace.

The mountain road leading to the back mountain is guarded by two law enforcers every mile.

Thick fog covered the area, and the sword energy blocked it.

Outsiders don’t know that every once in a while, the back mountain of Jin’ao Peak will experience a round of fierce “demonic energy” outbreaks.

Tongtian Zhanglu almost never leaves Dasui Sword Palace.

Outsiders speculated that the reason why Zhao Tongtian acted like this was because the Dasui Sword Palace was in decline, its talents were fading, and the head master was in seclusion, leaving him as the only great Yangshen realm cultivator left in the sect.

But there is another reason.

He needs to sit at Jin'ao Peak and use his sword energy to suppress the great Suzaku monster!

"afraid?"

Zhao Tongtian shook his head.

He sighed softly and asked, "If I was afraid that you would escape, why would I leave you this complete body of the Yang God Realm?"

Dasui Sword Palace has plenty of means.

Cut off the wings of this great Suzaku demon and chop off his hands and feet!

"… You might as well give it a try. Let's have a good fight."

A hint of hostility flashed in the eyes of the Suzaku demon. He turned his head little by little, staring at the old man with a sword in a fluttering robe in front of him, and said angrily: "Don't you just want me to be the mountain-watching demon beast of the Dasui Sword Palace? Why beat around the bush? I've had enough!"

A dozen.

He has been trapped here for a whole sixty years!

"This sword formation does not suppress people, but only suppresses intentions."

Zhao Tongtian said calmly: "If you let go of your murderous intent and sit here peacefully, this sword formation will not hurt you at all."

"Mr. Zhao, are you still a man?"

The great demon Suzaku seemed to have heard a huge joke, and sneered, "Lotus Venerable is dead, and you dare not even fart! I want to go back to the demon country for revenge, and you don't help me, and you even suppress me with your sword formation... Do you want to listen to what you just said? Are you serious about asking me to disperse my murderous intent? When did you start practicing Buddhism? Do you want to burn out relics after you die?!"

These words are very powerful.

However, there was no anger in Tongtian Zhanglu's eyes.

He looked at the red-robed demon in front of him and said calmly, "I'm saving you."

After the Battle of Drinking Poison, all the major forces in the Demon Country underwent a round of purge.

After Mo Zhi died.

Several great masters divided up the treasure and each dominated one area.

Although the great demon Suzaku has noble blood, it is already "living under someone else's roof" in the Da Chu Dynasty, and no one from any force will truly accept it... In their eyes, this Suzaku is just the guardian demon beast raised by the Dasui Sword Palace. Even if it has the same demon blood flowing in its body, it is still an extremely despicable existence.

Once Zhuque returns to the Demon Kingdom, he will encounter only one situation: All forces, attack together!
Just like... Venerable Lian back then, was surrounded and killed by the demons in the northern battlefield, fought to exhaustion, and finally died.

Some people said that he suppressed Zhuque with the sword formation in order to grind away Zhuque's bloodiness and evil nature so that Zhuque could be used by the Dasui Sword Palace.

Some people also said that Zhao Tongtian was practicing sword skills with the great demon Suzaku.

Suppress Suzaku and use this as a starting point.

But in fact, neither is correct.

Zhao Tongtian simply didn't want to see such a tragedy happen again.

"I don't want to live anymore! Do I need your help?!"

The Suzaku demon sneered, "If you really have the guts, let me leave the Dasui Sword Palace. If you don't dare to fight the bastard from Eclipse Lake, I will go and fight it!"

"It wasn't just the Eclipse Lake that killed Venerable Lian."

Zhao Tongtian shook his head: "There are so many great masters in the Demon Country, how many can you kill? It is uncertain whether you can return to the Demon Country after leaving Dasui Sword Palace."

It's not just the Demon Country that is eyeing this great Vermillion Bird demon.

The royal family of the Da Chu Dynasty, the Taoist sect, and other holy places are actually paying close attention to the back mountain of "Golden Ao Peak".

The sarcasm on the face of the Suzaku demon became even stronger: "So you came here today... to persuade me to give up the idea of leaving from now on and honestly guard the mountain for you, right?"

"Do not."

Zhao Tongtian said softly: "I just want to talk to you."

There are some words that have been kept in my heart for a long time, with no one to tell them.

Even Zhao Tongtian himself felt that this was ironic... He couldn't confide these words even to his senior brother.

But when it comes to this great Suzaku monster, it's really different.

"What the hell! I have nothing to talk to you about, so get out of here, as far away as you can!"

The Suzaku demon waved his hands and said impatiently, "I really gave you face, but you want to make connections after just a few days of peace? I will tear your sword formation apart in two days."

"..."

Zhao Tongtian was silent for a while.

Every month, this big demon would attack the sword formation once.

If you do the math, it's true... In two days, it will be the day for Suzaku to charge into the battle formation.

"I said I'd chat with you for a few minutes because I'm giving you face."

Zhao Tongtian sighed softly and said faintly: "This is not a discussion, but a notification."

"so?"

The great Suzaku demon sneered again.

He slowly stood up, his robes ablaze with light and fire, his eyes ablaze with fighting spirit.

"so……"

Zhao Tongtian rolled up his sleeves.

"You have to listen to what I say, even if you don't want to."

……

……

Xie Xuanyi held Jiang Huang's hand and walked in the purple bamboo forest on the back mountain of Jin'ao Peak.

The sword energy here is strong and the Yuan force is pure.

This place is the "Sword Refining Pool" of Tongtian Palm Law.

Zhao Tongtian sits here all year round, practicing every day, and breaks a large number of swords. Those broken swords, which no one can use, are thrown into the bamboo forest.

Along the way.

Xie Xuanyi saw countless broken swords, densely packed, inserted on both sides of the bamboo forest path.

These swords grew together with the purple bamboo.

For a long time, the sword energy has been strong and it has become a blessed land.

Xie Xuanyi, who had just been promoted, just needed these "essence sword energy" to fill the cave in his dantian.

"Swish swish."

Accompanying the two of them on the journey.

On both sides of the path, streams of pure white energy flew out from the broken swords.

Xie Xuanyi silently brought out the martial arts fetus.

Devouring all the way.

Jiang Huang was talking about her experiences during this period of time with great enthusiasm. Due to her special status, she had to go out as little as possible before she could suppress her demonic energy... So during this period of time, she had been practicing with the great demon Suzaku in the back mountain of Jin'ao Peak.

"Although practicing boxing is hard, Brother Ci Jing treats me well."

Xie Xuanyi didn't expect this.

This ferocious looking giant Suzaku demon actually has such a "handsome and restrained" name.

Word mirror.

If I'm not mistaken, this should be the name given by "Lian Zunzhe".

"Brother Ci Jing may look fierce on the surface, but he's actually a nice guy. I don't know how he does it, but every time I wake up, he can always make a steaming hot Chen Ji bun."

Xie Xuanyi was stunned.

The great demon Suzaku has been locked up in Jin'ao Peak all year round. Where can he buy buns?

The answer is obvious.

Although suppressed by the sword formation, Ci Jing was a great demon in the Yang God Realm after all... I believe that since Jiang Huang stepped into the back mountain, the law enforcers of Jin'ao Peak have gone down the mountain at night to buy her favorite buns in the city.

"Hey."

The girl with pigtails sighed, "Actually, there is one thing I don't quite understand."

"Ok?"

Xie Xuanyi stopped patiently and looked at Jiang Huang.

"I heard from Mr. Zhang Lu that Brother Ci Jing has a strong murderous heart and always wants to solve problems through fighting and killing."

Jiang Huang raised his head, looked at Xie Xuanyi, and said seriously: "Is there any problem with this?"

"..."

Xie Xuanyi burst out laughing.

It is hard to imagine that these words came from the mouth of Zhang Lu.

Is there any sword cultivator in Dashui Sword Palace who doesn't have this kind of personality?
But the next moment, he roughly understood the reason.

"Brother Ci Jing told me that the only relative in his life is 'Lotus Master' of Lotus Peak."

Jiang Huang's voice was childish, but his tone was serious: "Now that Venerable Lian is dead, he wants to avenge Venerable Lian. He will not let any of the practitioners who participated in the siege go."

It was the entire demon country that surrounded and killed Master Lian back then.

Xie Xuanyi silently restrained his smile.

He didn't know how to answer the girl with pigtails' question.

"Some time ago, I had a dream."

Jiang Huang raised her little face and said seriously, "I dreamed that you were being chased by many people, and you kept running away... and finally you ran to a very far place, and there was an ocean there."

"and then?"

Xie Xuanyi squatted down and looked at the little girl straight in the eye.

"And you died."

Jiang Huang lowered her voice, with a hint of sadness in it: "You sank to the bottom of the sea, very deep. I was crying beside you and feeling very sad."

"..."

Xie Xuanyi looked at the little girl in front of him with complicated eyes, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Is it affected by the main spirit?
Jiang Huang dreamed of being hunted down and buried in the North Sea...

Fate is really the most ridiculous thing in the world.

In the previous life, Jiang Huang and Xie Xuanyi were absolute enemies.

But in this life...

She would cry bitterly because of her own death.

"I think Brother Cijing is right."

Jiang Huang took a deep breath and said softly: "If you die, I will not let any of those people go."

(TAT, it’s the first day of the Lunar New Year, so I’m a little late in updating. I’m really sorry. In that case, I’ll shamelessly ask for a monthly ticket.)
