Embers of Sword

Chapter 429 Fighting between Dragon and Tiger
"It is still unknown who will win."

Xie Xuanyi chuckled and suppressed the murderous intent in his eyes.

He also knew that there would be many disasters on this journey south.

However, Xie Xuanyi also wanted to take this opportunity to see clearly, when the tide recedes, who are the people hiding behind the scenes, and who are two-faced!

"You will stay in the Imperial City for the next few days."

Chen Jingxuan covered his lips with silk, coughed dully, and carefully reminded: "The holy places are drawing up a list of demons to be slayed. The first batch of holy place monks will go to the imperial city in three days. You can have a good rest in the Chen Mansion."

"You are the one who should take a good rest."

Xie Xuanyi sighed.

He has now been promoted to Yin God, but his divine sense is still unable to see the depth of "Chen Jingxuan"'s realm.

This guy's realm... is far higher than people imagine.

Maybe he has already reached the top of the mountain.

But would a great cultivator of this level also become weak and cough up blood?
Peeping into the secrets of heaven, overdrawing your destiny.

Guo Huizhe died young, and compared to his own safety, Xie Xuanyi was more worried about the sickly person in front of him.

"rest assured."

Chen Jingxuan grinned and said, "...I won't die for the time being."

……

……

Xie Xuanyi left the library, and Jiang Qihu, who was sitting cross-legged with a knife in his arms, stood up immediately.

"Brother Xie!"

Benhu asked worriedly, "Did you just see the gentleman? How is he now?"

"It's nothing serious."

Xie Xuanyi paused. He really couldn't bear to deceive Jiang Qihu, but for the sake of the overall situation, he said helplessly: "But his health is really bad... These days, he should not be disturbed by outsiders. Lord Jiang should understand what I mean, right?"

"I understand, of course I understand!"

Jiang Qihu said in a deep voice: "The library has received much attention in recent years, and countless people are watching you... I have been standing guard here with a knife in my hand these days, and I have even ordered the Imperial City Division to build a formation. None of these guys can disturb you from resting."

"Thank you for your hard work, Master Jiang."

Xie Xuanyi thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "I heard that the second son of the Qin family has returned to the imperial city."

"Yes, Master Tang was the one who came with Qin Qianlian that day..."

Jiang Qihu was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "However, the Qin family seems to be in trouble these days. I heard that Qin Qianlian returned to the city this time to compete for the position of 'family head'."

"It is said that?"

Xie Xuanyi spoke tentatively.

"I heard it from Qin Baihuang."

Jiang Qihu did not hide anything. He said frankly, "When we were drinking together a few days ago, this guy opened up to me and told me about his troubles. After Qin Qianlian returned to the city, he actually went to the Imperial City Division to fight with him."

"As far as I know, Qin Shouzuo only knows how to refine weapons, not how to fight."

Xie Xuanyi was surprised and said, "And Qin Qianlian is the Taoist Changshengzhai Saint Son, and is almost the appointed next Changshengzhai master. How could this fight come about?"

"Yes."

Jiang Qihu shrugged and said, "I said 'fought' earlier to give him face. In fact, Qin Qianlian beat him up. The second son of the Qin family has practiced Taoism for more than ten years and has already reached the late stage of Yin God. How could Qin Baihuang be his opponent? Even if he was wearing a set of spiritual armor, he could only withstand two more blows than a normal person. This guy was beaten to death."

"..."

Xie Xuanyi reached out and wiped the sweat off his forehead: "After all, he is the head of a department, there is no need to speak so unbearably."

He had witnessed Qin Baihuang's action not long ago.

This guy is much stronger than he was ten years ago...

Ok.

Of course, it is the attainment in weapon refining techniques.

The armor Qin Baihuang wore was quite impressive, and could probably rival the physical strength of a Pseudo-Yin God Realm. A full-strength attack from a Yin God Realm 5th Realm cultivator might not be able to break it. However, in front of Qin Qianlian, the armor was indeed somewhat fragile... If he hadn't broken through the realm, Xie Xuanyi wouldn't be 100% sure that he could break through the armor.

Several years ago, when they first met, Xie Xuanyi didn't take Qin Baihuang's weapon-making skills seriously.

It’s not that Xie Xuanyi is arrogant.

But the young Qin Baihuang’s “weapon refining technique” was extremely unstable, often failed, and produced side effects, which often frightened people more than surprised them.

This guy is obsessed with creating the legendary "Thousand Chance Umbrella".

Unfortunately.

Most of his works ended in failure.

Therefore, Xie Xuanyi never thought that one day, Qin Baihuang would become the head of the Equipment Refining Department and be able to refine top-grade magical instruments such as "Spring Breeze" and "Wild Grass"!

Thinking carefully, since his resurrection in the second life, he has not seen any failed products of Qin Baihuang's weapon refining...

"Pooh!"

Jiang Qihu said unhappily, "I didn't say that, but Qin Baihuang himself. This guy was drunk and described the scene of that day to me vividly. He said that when Qin Qianlian slapped him, he was completely stunned. That day, the powerful people of Da Chu were celebrating in Yuanqing Tower. He never thought that this stupid brother who ran away from home, who he hadn't seen for more than ten years, would not attend the banquet, but secretly come to the Imperial City Division to beat him up! He wanted to have a good fight, but unfortunately the gap was too big, so there was no fight at all. Qin Qianlian slapped him, and the black scale armor heart mirror was blown up, and his bones were almost falling apart."

"..."

Xie Xuanyi fell completely silent after hearing this.

Ok.

The good impression that I had finally built up on Qin Baihuang was completely shattered.

"Do you also think this guy is too useless?"

Jiang Qihu was so disappointed that he sighed and said, "After all, he is the eldest son of the Qin family. It's really embarrassing to be beaten by a rebellious brother."

Put yourself in Qin Baihuang’s perspective.

Jiang Qihu was very angry... because he was the only one who got beaten since he was a child.

How dare he hit his sister?
Of course, he couldn't beat him.

Just imagine, if the Jiang family has a third son who dares to commit crimes against his superiors, then I must make sure to subdue this third son.

"It's really a bit embarrassing."

Xie Xuanyi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "But such an ugly thing...why would this guy tell you?"

"Ahem... I drank too much and it's inevitable that my mouth leaks. I understand."

Jiang Qihu looked a little nervous.

these years.

He and Qin Baihuang drank a lot, and chatted a lot after drinking... Most of the gossip stories in the bookstore came from him.

"But this guy isn't as bad as I said."

At this point, Jiang Qihu said seriously, "That day, he rejected my idea of helping him fight back... He said that losing this fight was nothing, and the real war had just begun. Qin Qianlian traveled thousands of miles from the Taoist Changshengzhai back to the Imperial City just to fight for the 'position of the head of the family'."

"interesting."

Xie Xuanyi pondered and said, "So Qin Baihuang has also decided to fight for the position of Patriarch?"

"good."

Jiang Qihu said seriously: "He asked me not to interfere in this matter... He said that he would have a good fight with Qin Qianlian next."

"Oh, how to fight?" Xie Xuanyi asked.

Qin Baihuang wants to fight with Qin Qianlian... It sounds like the situation is tense and tit-for-tat, but in Xie Xuanyi's eyes, there is no suspense.

There is nothing to fight about between the two of them.

In terms of cultivation level and profound thoughts, Qin Qianlian is far superior.

Based on his understanding of Qin Baihuang.

This guy was born to be a blacksmith. His greatest wish in life was to hide in a dark corner and concentrate on refining weapons. He had no interest in power or party struggles.

Even if we want to fight this time, it will probably just be a momentary fight of pride.

"The Holy Edict of Renshou Palace has been issued. In a few days, all the holy lands and noble families will send their disciples to gather in the Imperial City and go south to destroy the demons together."

Jiang Qihu said with emotion: "The Qin family is the number one family in Da Chu. We can take this opportunity to determine the outcome through military exploits. I have a feeling... a fierce battle is about to begin!"
