Embers of Sword

Chapter 423 Young people do not believe in separation in the world

Amid the wind and snow, there were bursts of screams.

The Snow Monkey fled to the edge of the Ice Soul Cave Heaven, but still could not escape Xie Xuanyi's spiritual lock. Dozens of strong sword energies surrounded it and bombarded it non-stop... This big monster was imprisoned in the Ice Soul Cave Heaven, and its body turned into wind and snow, but it was also trapped by the wind and snow.

It did run away quickly.

But no matter how fast you run, you can't escape into the surrounding caves.

The Snow Goblin tried his best to defend, trying to condense the wind and snow into scales, but the sword intent lingering between the two realms of life and death was too sharp.

The snow is as brittle as paper.

Xie Xuanyi rode his sword high above the snow.

He had an indifferent expression as he stared at the Snow Goblin demon who kept begging for mercy.

……

……

A few miles away.

In front of the sword energy stele, a figure of an old man wearing a wide golden robe gathered.

The entire Dasui Sword Palace can enter and exit this place freely.

Apart from Qi Lie, the current defender of Yuping Peak, there are only two people left.

The headmaster who is in retreat.

And the chief lawyer who is stationed at Jinao Peak all year round.

"Lord Master."

Jiang Miaoyin was a little surprised when she saw this figure. She spoke respectfully and was about to salute subconsciously.

"No need to be polite."

Zhao Tongtian stretched out his hand to stop Jiang Miaoyin from bowing.

He stood in the snow, looking at the direction of the sword energy bombardment in the distance with Jiang Miaoyin, and whispered: "You have been in seclusion in the 'Thirty-three Caves' for a long time, I should come to take a look... I didn't expect to see such a lively scene as soon as I came here."

"The Lord Chief Lawyer has indeed arrived at the right time..."

Jiang Miaoyin forced a smile, but could not hide the tiredness in her voice: "If Miaoyin remembers correctly, the Chief of Law should have to suppress the great monster on Jin'ao Peak..."

"Suzaku and I have reached a truce."

Zhao Tongtian said calmly, "No need to change the subject, and no need to feel awkward. I have never been interested in eavesdropping on other people's conversations. I don't know what you said before."

This statement came out.

The atmosphere became even more solemn.

"……Um."

Jiang Miaoyin could only respond softly.

"When it comes to sword training, Xuan Yi is a piece of unpolished white jade that is extremely smart."

Zhao Tongtian suddenly spoke up and said, "But when it comes to 'love', he is a complete blockhead."

"Ok?"

Jiang Miaoyin was stunned.

"This is normal. There is no perfect saint in this world... God has opened a big door for him, so he should close a window."

The lawyer put his hands behind his back and said slowly, "Many years ago, I was just like him, with only the Dao in my heart. Sometimes, people get used to 'accompany' and forget the feeling of 'loss'... As the saying goes, young people don't believe in separation in the world."

Jiang Miaoyin was silent.

"It was not until the Battle of Poison that I understood these truths."

Zhao Tongtian sighed: "Many people in this world... always wait until they lose something before they know how to cherish it."

"Lawyer."

Jiang Miaoyin raised her head and asked seriously, "Are you sure you didn't eavesdrop?"

"cough."

Zhao Tongtian clenched his fist and coughed softly, then said angrily, "Who do you think I am? What else can you two say when you get together? With Xie Xuanyi's personality, is it possible for him to come to the Thirty-three Cave Heavens to get married?"

These words made Jiang Miaoyin feel at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Although there is still a sense of loss in my heart.

But the haze that had accumulated for a long time was swept away.

"Master, Miaoyin actually has no other thoughts in her mind right now."

Jiang Miaoyin thought for a moment and said seriously: "Brother Xuanyi just told me about the 'Sword Palace Great Tribulation'. This is no joke and should not be underestimated... You may not believe me, but even if this didn't happen, Miaoyin just wanted to practice well and survive the next Yin God Tribulation. Dasui Sword Palace has finally ushered in a prosperous fortune, and this opportunity is rare."

"How could I not believe it?"

"I have watched you grow up, so I know your personality very well."

Zhao Tongtian looked at the woman beside him and said with emotion: "Back then, Xie Xuanyi was too sharp and overshadowed the brilliance of the people around her... You have a sharp sword heart and never want to bow your head and admit defeat. In terms of cultivation aptitude, you only lose to Tang Fengshu among the women of Da Chu of that generation."

these years.

Jiang Miaoyin never stopped practicing swordsmanship.

Even though she had locked herself up in a jade screen and imprisoned herself with a chronic illness for ten years, Ye Qinglian from Baihua Valley was still no match for her.

Because I like Xie Xuanyi.

So when she was young, Jiang Miaoyin practiced hard day and night, trying her best to catch up with her beloved.

This is not an easy task...

Not everyone is qualified to chase Xie Xuanyi.

"Behind you is not only the Dasui Sword Palace and Yuping Peak, but also the Qingzhou Jiang Family."

Zhao Tongtian said slowly: "The old man of the Jiang family, Jiang Qihu, is about to take over as the head of the Imperial City Department. Once he sits in that position, many of his actions will be restricted. I am afraid that you are the only one who can take over the position of the head of the Jiang family in the future... If you can successfully break through and become a Yang God, then you will have an extra seat among the top ten heroes in the world."

"Miaoyin doesn't care about the top ten seats."

Jiang Miaoyin shook her head: "The Jiang family's affairs are too far away. Miaoyin is only looking at the present and seizes every moment."

She looked into the distance in the direction where the sword energy was swaying.

"Master, don't worry about Miaoyin. Miaoyin is willing to stay in seclusion here until she gets through the calamity of 'questioning the heart'."

Jiang Miaoyin smiled softly and said, "The greatest joy in the world is to 'recover what was lost'. For me, my brother is not dead, which is the best good news in these years... Now Miaoyin does not ask for anything else, but only hopes that my brother can be safe and that the Sword Palace can be safe."

"..."

Hearing this, Zhao Tongtian had a complicated expression, half of him felt distressed and half felt relieved.

After thinking for a long time, the old man in the golden robe swallowed the words of comfort he had prepared earlier.

In the end, he just uttered a word softly.

"good."

……

……

"Xie! Have you had enough?"

The screams in the wind and snow lasted for half an incense stick.

The snow goblin had been beaten beyond recognition.

It hadn't thought that even after transforming into wind and snow, it couldn't escape the boy's sword energy lock... At first, it wanted to transform into the appearance of "Jiang Miaoyin" so that Xie Xuanyi would feel pity and be gentler, but it didn't expect that this trick would backfire, and now its whole body was almost crushed by the sword energy.

"..."

Xie Xuanyi said nothing, but continued to stare indifferently at the ball of broken frost and snow that was struggling to form within the sword energy.

It is very difficult to destroy the snow goblin's soul.

These thirty-three caves are not only prisons, but also paradises of bliss.

The great monsters imprisoned here are restricted by the cave formation and cannot escape. At the same time, they also provide a steady supply of monster power to the formation.

If these great demons had not committed unforgivable crimes or tried to escape from prison, they would not have been executed.

"That's about it—"

Snow Xiao's voice was hoarse, and although his tone was tough, it was already filled with a hint of begging for mercy: "I've already apologized, I can't afford to offend you, next time I see you I'll take a detour, okay?!"

In fact, Xie Xuanyi had already vented a lot of his anger.

He thought for a moment.

He waved his sleeves and silently dispersed his sword thoughts. Seeing this, the Snow Xiao heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly integrated his mind into the cave, and his body dispersed again, preparing to turn into wind and snow to escape.

But the next moment.

A golden-shirted figure appeared beside Xie Xuanyi without any warning, and suddenly made a move, pulling it out of the void and throwing it heavily to the ground.

The snow mandrill was stunned by the fall.

I raised my head, feeling even more confused.

"Zhao Tongtian?!"

What’s going on today? Has the Yang God who is in charge of guarding Jin’ao Peak come?
The big demon quickly prostrated on the ground. This time, it didn't even dare to fart. It was trembling all over, and it had lost all its pride. If nothing unexpected happened, it would be almost "immortal". This body could blend into the wind and snow and coexist with this cave. However, the appearance of Yang Shen was the accident that Xue Xiao was most reluctant to see.

Zhao Tongtian is fully capable of destroying this cave.

"His!"

Zhao Tongtian flicked his fingers and a ray of golden sword light came out, which directly fell into the center of Xue Xiao's eyebrows.

Xue Xiao's body trembled, and his voice trembled: "Master Tongtian?"

"From today on, I will protect Jiang Miaoyin."

Zhao Tongtian said calmly: "If she gets hurt even a little bit while comprehending the sword energy stele, I will kill you."

Snow Xiao looked up with fear and trepidation, smiling, and was about to explain.

Without waiting for it to speak.

Zhao Tongtian flicked his sleeves and said, "Get lost!"

The snow goblin was so scared that it really disappeared thousands of miles away this time.

"How did you come?"

Xie Xuanyi was a little surprised to see Zhang Lu appear.

"When you are very still, you want to move."

Zhao Tongtian said calmly: "I have been sitting in Jin'ao Peak for so many years, I am out for a walk... Why, you are not happy?"

Xie Xuanyi put away his flying sword and looked in the direction of Jiang Miaoyin.

On the other side of the sword energy stele, countless snow-white sword thoughts emerged.

The Heavy Snow Sword Formation condensed again.

At this moment, above the Heavy Snow Sword Formation, there was still a wisp of the Yang God's thoughts from the Golden Ao Peak hanging, which was exactly what Zhao Tongtian had arranged.

"No need to look at it, no need to go there."

Zhao Tongtian stretched out a hand to stop him.

He said calmly, "Your Junior Sister Jiang is currently contemplating the 'Taiping Sword Dao' left by Grandmaster Yuping. Since you have already talked about everything you need to talk about, if you go there again, you will disturb her practice."

"Were you eavesdropping?"

Xie Xuanyi glared angrily.

"Don't make false statements without any evidence."

Zhao Tongtian looked calm and said casually: "I just happened to be here... just happened, do you understand?"

"..."

Xie Xuanyi laughed out of anger. This was the first time in all these years that he saw the usually serious Chief Lawyer use such a trick.

He dusted off the snow on his clothes, not bothering to think about it.

"Since you have decided to leave Jin'ao Peak, why do you need to entrust the 'Thunder Sword Formation' to me?"

Xie Xuanyi looked at the old man in golden shirt beside him and asked with a frown.

"This sword formation will be the same no matter who hands it to him."

Zhao Tongtian said calmly: "You are going to meet him today, so it is just a matter of convenience for you to help me deliver this sword formation."

"..."

Xie Xuanyi had nothing to say.

In fact, he already understood Zhao Tongtian's thoughts.

The Jin'ao Peak lineage appears to be serious and keeps people at a distance, but in fact they are passionate inside, they are just not good at expressing it.

Junior Brother Qi Lie is like this.

This is especially true for Zhao Tongtian, who is a respected elder.

This master and disciple rarely talked to each other on weekdays. Zhao Tongtian believed that strict teachers would produce excellent students, and he had high expectations for Qi Lie since he was young, but in fact he also silently paid a lot, but he deliberately concealed these efforts from Qi Lie... Even when he gave away the sword formation, he hoped that others would pass it on, as if this would reduce his own hard work.

"This Thunder Sword Formation is not easy to cast."

Xie Xuanyi said sincerely: "Junior Brother Qi Lie is not a fool, he will know it after just one look. Since the Vermillion Bird Demon is no longer fighting, why do you have to guard the Golden Mastiff? Junior Brother has been guarding Yuping alone for some time, so he must want to see you."

"You don't need to teach me. I know what I'm doing."

Zhao Tongtian hummed impatiently.

Say it.

Zhao Tongtian waved his sleeves again, and streaks of golden sword energy appeared in the snow.

"This is?"

Xie Xuanyi frowned.

These golden sword energies interweave into a scene.

In the picture, there is a small hill.

The mountain is surrounded by white smoke and spews out red clouds, and it looks like a piece of jeweled treasure!
"Just today, the miasma in the mountains of southern Xinjiang broke, and a secret place was unexpectedly revealed."

Zhao Tongtian said in a deep voice: "This secret realm is all 'pure white', and there are many large formations protecting it... If I'm not mistaken, it is the mountain gate of the Paper Man Dao!"

"Paper Man Mountain Gate?!"

Xie Xuanyi's heart trembled, and he looked intently.

This hilltop is actually somewhat familiar... Back in the Dayue Kingdom, Lu Yuzhen displayed the "Pure White Saint" form, and the surroundings exuded such a sacred and majestic aura.

"This matter has attracted a lot of attention. The Great Chu Imperial City has urgently summoned all the holy places to discuss the matter of 'exterminating the demons'."

Zhao Tongtian said calmly: "The 'Paper Man Dao' that suddenly appeared in the past ten years has exceeded the tolerance limit of the Great Chu Royal Family... If Lu Yu really exists, it will be a thorn in the heart of Renshou Palace. Naturally, it is the same for other holy places."

In the past, the evil cultivators in Southern Xinjiang only operated in the small area of one acre and three mu near their own mountain gate.

Even if they fight each other, they cannot get out of the Shiwan Mountains.

During the most chaotic times a few years ago, the evil cultivators from Yinshan went north... but didn't cause any waves.

For the holy land families, the three major sects in southern Xinjiang are not worthy of fear.

But the situation is different now.

The three major sects joined forces, but they were unable to suppress the "Paper Man Dao". Instead, they were suppressed by the Paper Man Dao and could not leave the mountain gate... If Da Chu did not intervene, it would only be a matter of time before Lu Yuzhen swallowed up the three major sects on his own. If the evil cultivators in Southern Xinjiang were unified by Master Lu, then the meaning of this evil miasma land would be different.

Monk Da Chu is unable to practice in southern Xinjiang.

But the paper figures are not affected...

This way.

Lu Yuzhen can even establish his own country in southern Xinjiang!

Xie Xuanyi murmured in his heart: "Is the exorcism... finally about to begin?"

He knew in his heart that it was inevitable to eliminate the demons in the southern border.

Just didn't expect it.

It all happened so fast.

"A while ago, you and the library's layout for Jiangning... achieved good results."

Zhao Tongtian said in a slightly playful tone: "But unfortunately, just now, the Renshou Palace issued a sacred decree. Although the Holy Queen did not come out of seclusion, she authorized a 'special envoy' to make the latest punishment for the Jiangning Palace."

Then wave your sleeves again.

The golden sword energy reflected the scene of the black-robed envoy from Renshou Palace reading out the imperial verdict.

"Jiangning King Xie Zhisui, whose rule was not established, caused the tragedy of the diplomatic corps, was stripped of his title and temporarily banned from the ancestral temple."

Pause slightly.

The special envoy spoke in a long voice, emphasizing each word: "In consideration of the merits of Xie's ancestors... allow him to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors and make amends for his crimes."
