Embers of Sword

Chapter 450 Leaving
To fight the demons this time, Da Chu summoned all the major families and sects.

There hasn't been such a grand and magnificent action in the past sixty years...

Who dares to stand in the way of the flood?
The Yinshen masters in front of the long table fell into a long silence. They did not expect that Xie Zhen would actually answer this question.

"So, you sent out the order to stop us from killing the Paper People?"

Xie Zhisui, the King of Jiangning, who had always stayed out of the matter, spoke up at this moment.

"I originally wanted to."

Xie Xuanyi said calmly: "But now...it doesn't matter."

He never cares about right or wrong, but only about his heart.

Since recognizing Dao Jiu and guessing that there was something strange about the appearance of the Pure White Mountain Secret Realm, Xie Xuanyi decided to pass this news back to Da Chu...

Now that the message has been delivered, we have done our best.

As for some people believe it and some people don’t.

Xie Xuanyi couldn't influence it, nor did he want to... If it were in his previous life, he would probably argue with the heroes and try to postpone the date for exorcising the demon as much as possible.

But now.

He didn't want to do it again.

"We must press forward tomorrow."

Xie Xuanyi said calmly: "Today's meeting is called with the 'Command' because I want you to know that the Paper Man Sect may have infiltrated the three major sects. The evil sect envoys responsible for receiving people in each Zhanjiao Mountain are not trustworthy. If you want to successfully eliminate the demons, you must be more careful... If it goes smoothly, you can also eliminate the three major sects at the same time."

"Ah!"

Venerable Bai Yu, who was under the command of King Jiangning, snorted coldly: "Xie Zhen, this is what you meant, right?"

Xie Xuanyi frowned.

"As everyone knows, your master died at the hands of the evil sect... I think you are clearly trying to take this opportunity to settle your personal grudges with blood!"

Venerable Bai Yu narrowed his eyes and said word by word: "If you want to kill someone with a borrowed knife, why not just say it directly? Why beat around the bush and come up with a bunch of excuses?"

"..."

At this moment, most of the participants remained silent, and quite a few watched the show silently.

Although this meeting was convened by royal decree and was urgent and hasty, it was actually quite solemn and serious.

In such an occasion, someone of Venerable Bai Yu's status would not speak carelessly.

Obviously... he was speaking for his master.

These words must have been instigated by Prince Jiangning. It seems that the grudge in Li State is very deep, and the conflict between Prince Jiangning and Xie Zhen is now completely exposed.

Xie Xuanyi slowly turned his gaze and looked towards Venerable Bai Yu.

Not a single moment of pause.

He didn't even look at Venerable Bai Yu.

Xie Xuanyi looked directly at Xie Zhisui.

In his ears, the words of Venerable Bai Yu were no different from the barking of a dog. He was too lazy to argue with such people. Many years ago, when Xie Xuanyi was still a child, Zhao Chunyang once asked him a question: If one day he was bitten by a dog when he was out, what should he do?
This question troubled Xie Xuanyi for a long time when he was ten years old.

This is indeed a tricky problem.

If you are bitten by a dog, do you have to bite it back?

Later, the head teacher told Xie Xuanyi the answer.

If you are bitten by a dog, you must teach the dog owner a severe lesson.

The reason why you hear a dog barking is because the dog owner instructed it.

"I heard that there was a big fire in the Jiangning Palace a while ago..."

Xie Xuanyi was not angry, but smiled slowly and said: "It seems that the fire was not severe enough, and someone has not learned his lesson yet. In this situation, if you let your dog bark recklessly, you will be punished again."

"……you!"

Venerable Bai Yu's expression became extremely ugly.

He looked at his master beside him.

King Jiangning also looked unhappy, but due to the occasion, he couldn't get angry. After the two looked at each other, Venerable Bai Yu understood and took action immediately. In today's Soul Meeting, almost only the Yin God Venerables were qualified to participate. Very few Tianjiao Shengzi from sects and families were brought into the meeting... Xie Zhen was the only exception. The Dasui Sword Palace behind him was singled out by the Renshou Palace and excluded.

How dare this "isolated" young man act so arrogantly in front of a Yin God like me!
"Xie Zhen! You are so outrageous!"

Venerable Bai Yu took a step forward and said, "...Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of the elders of Dasui Sword Palace!"

The two Zhanjiao Mountains were originally adjacent to each other, and no one had expected that Venerable Bai Yu would lose all his dignity and attack a junior from Dongtian!
This guy has no martial ethics at all. His move comes before his voice.

Rumble!
A ray of Tao realm, which had long been contained in the power of the soul, rippled out in an instant, covering Xie Xuanyi tightly, and in an instant it transformed into a strange image of green lightning that was several feet long!

obviously.

Venerable Bai Yu had long been planning on taking action at the last minute. No matter what, he was determined to embarrass Xie Zhen in front of everyone.

The moment this blue lightning appeared——

Several supervisors of Zhanjiao Mountain reacted.

Venerable Bai Yu's strength is not considered strong among the Yin Gods.

There were several powerful beings above the fifteenth level of Yin Shen participating in this demon-suppression effort... but none of them chose to move to stop it.

Qin Qianlian was also one of the very few people who noticed it in advance.

But he was not so kind. Qin Qianlian knew very well that this Xie man was not an ally of his, so even if he took action, he would get nothing good.

He hugged his sleeves with both hands, and chose to "watch the show" with relish. At the same time, he divided his energy into two strands, one strand fell on Junshan Zhenren, and the other strand fell on the Yin God of the library next to Qin Baihuang. He had already met the Yin God masters of Xuanzui Mountain. In fact, they were not threatening. The only one worth noting was the weird guy named "Qian San". He looked ordinary, but he led the public opinion counterattack against the Jiangning Palace. Chen Jingxuan had high hopes for him and entrusted him with a very important responsibility. When he met Yan Xie a few days ago, the guy gave him a piece of information about people in the imperial city who needed to be paid attention to, including Qian San. The information mentioned... Chu Guo Fangyuanfang has been taken over by Qian San. This person is very likely to be a strong man in the seventeenth or eighteenth realm of Yin God. He is very hidden and has a deep mansion.

What made Qin Qianlian feel strange was.

In a split second, Junshan Zhenren and Qian San did not choose to intervene.

He could understand the former.

After all, Junshan is only at the Cave Heaven Realm. If he wants to suppress Bai Yu, he needs to pay a certain price.

the latter……

Qin Qianlian found this interesting. Xie Zhen had a close relationship with the library, and Qian San was most likely a "backup" sent by Chen Jingxuan. There was only one explanation for him being able to remain calm in such a situation.

Xie Zhen is not afraid of people of the level of Venerable Bai Yu at all.

……

……

The moment when the blue thunder surged.

Xie Xuanyi felt two divine thoughts coming like the wind, wanting to help him.

It was Ye Qinglian and Jiang Que who were closest to him.

Xie Xuanyi appreciated the kindness, but he did not accept the help of these two divine thoughts.

He didn't step back.

Instead, he took a step forward and took the initiative to greet Venerable Bai Yu.

next moment.

Xie Xuanyi raised his hand and made a simple waving of his sleeves.

Then a crisp explosion was heard in the air.

"Snapped!"

The blue thunder rose up with a brilliant sound and then dissipated with a brilliant sound.

Venerable Bai Yu, who suddenly attacked with a ferocious look, was slapped in the face before he could even show his fangs.

The slap was crisp and loud.

The howling wind, the flashing thunder, and the clamor around the long conference table were all torn apart by this casual slap.

"???"

Venerable Bai Yu was whipped into the air like a spinning top and then fell back to his original position.

Boom!
A huge hole was smashed into the long table that was condensed with spiritual power.

"..."

Prince Jiangning stared at this scene with a gloomy expression, almost oozing tears.

As for those Saint Mountain venerables who were watching the show silently, their expressions became subtle, and their gazes towards Xie Zhen also became complicated...

Recently, the matter concerning the Jiangning Palace has caused a lot of controversy.

This is especially true for the rumors about Xie Zhen. There are rumors that Xie Zhen has broken through the cave and entered the next realm, becoming a true Yin God Venerable. If the rumors are true, then Xie Zhen may be the youngest Yin God Venerable in the history of Da Chu. It's a pity that Da Sui Sword Palace has never responded to this news. Many people have gone to Da Sui Sword Palace to inquire recently, and even Yin Gods have visited in person, but they were all rejected. No one knows about Xie Zhen's situation.

but now.

Many people know the answer.

That slap just now was very fast...

the most important is.

This slap was also surrounded by a faint black light, which was obviously the power of the Dao Realm. Because of this, Xie Zhen easily broke through the Dao Realm of Venerable Bai Yu.

"…I guessed right."

Qin Qianlian, who had confirmed his conjecture, secretly sighed in his heart: "This kid has such a fast cultivation speed. How come he is even faster than Master Junshan?!"

"Brother Xie is indeed a man of heaven."

Wu Yue, who was attending the event with Wuzong, felt a tightness in his heart when he saw this scene, but then he felt relieved, followed by a hint of self-mockery.

The moment Venerable Bai Yu suddenly attacked, he subconsciously worried whether Xie Zhen would be hurt...

It was not until this moment that Wu Yue realized how ridiculous he was.

He was actually worried about Xie Zhen?
Although Xie Zhen is on the list of geniuses, he is not on the same level as everyone else!

This guy's aptitude for cultivation is extremely high and is rarely seen in the world. Perhaps only a reincarnated Yang God like Junshan Zhenren can compare with him, right?

The dead silent long table suddenly became lively.

Over at Yuqingzhai.

Fairy Shang Yi took the initiative to speak, her expression sincere, and she congratulated him wholeheartedly: "Little Master Xie, congratulations on your breakthrough to become a Yin God."

Words of congratulations like these were uttered all at once.

See this scene.

These holy mountain masters already knew in their hearts—

This unprepossessing young man in black will surely become a top figure standing at the top of the Da Chu Dynasty in the future.

Xie Xuanyi did not react to these congratulations.

He just nodded slightly in response.

After showing his strength.

The weight of those "paper man" messages has obviously become different.

An elder from Qiantian Palace said, "Little Master Xie's proposal is not without reason... The proposals from the three major sects' 'Guiding Envoys' cannot be trusted..."

"I think so too."

The female guest from the Xu family in Bingzhou also said, "Perhaps the battle tomorrow can be delayed for a while. Let's first familiarize ourselves with the surrounding terrain and rest for two days."

Suddenly, discussions started again.

However, Xie Xuanyi lost interest in going on. He had already sent the paper man's message. There was no point in staying here any longer.

"Thank you, Zhisui."

He put his hands behind his back, looked at King Jiangning, and said slowly, "I know you want to kill me... This is no longer Da Chu, you can do it without worrying about me hiding. Even if you don't come to find me, I will come to find you."

Say it.

Xie Xuanyi's mind faded out of the sea of clouds and he left this place of trouble directly.

"..."

Xie Zhisui's expression was terrifyingly gloomy.

Did this young man just declare war on himself?
At this moment, a miserable groan came from under him: "Prince..."

It was Venerable Bai Yu, whose face was covered in blood, who was slapped by Dao Realm of Destruction. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He supported himself with his hands on the crack of the long table and climbed up with difficulty.

"…It's a shame."

Prince Jiangning spoke coldly.

After this incident, his mind was in a state of confusion. He had no intention of participating in the follow-up of the meeting and withdrew his mind.

……

……

The meeting convened by the royal order ended quickly.

The news that Xie Zhen had beaten up Venerable Fei Baiyu at the meeting quickly spread throughout the Seven Zhanjiao Mountains.

All the young people were amazed.

The seventeen-year-old Venerable Yin Shen... This is a genius that has not appeared in Da Chu for many years.

No wonder he was accepted as a disciple by Xie Xuanyi.

No wonder he became the new master of Xuanshui Cave.

No wonder the library would offend the entire Jiangning Palace because of him.

Some things in this world are so absurd. Xie Xuanyi has been the same Xie Xuanyi from beginning to end. It's just that when he just threw away his old clothes and put on new clothes, everyone was ridiculing him. He still remembered when he first stepped into the Sword Palace and participated in the Xuanshui Competition, there were overwhelming doubts and abuses.

And now.

Questioning, abuse, criticism, everything has changed.

Everything he got, from being "unworthy of his position", suddenly became "what he deserved".

"Yuan Yi!"

"Did you hear that?!"

On Yuangui Mountain.

The disciples of Baihua Valley practiced sword formations as usual.

During the break after the drill, a young sister quietly touched Yuan Yi's lower back with her sword sheath. She winked and said in a low voice, "Just when the Soul Council was convened, the Yin God Venerable under King Jiangning suddenly attacked Young Master Xie... Young Master Xie only used one move to knock the man to the ground. He was severely punished for bullying the weak. King Jiangning was so embarrassed that he had no face to continue and left in shame!"

"what?"

Yuan Yi was stunned for a moment, and his first reaction was to ask nervously: "How could the Jiangning Palace suddenly start an attack? Is Mr. Xie okay?"

"...Did you not listen carefully just now?"

The young sister pursed her lips and said, "Young Master Xie is such a great man, so naturally he is completely unscathed, not hurt at all."

"It's okay."

Yuan Yi smiled foolishly and scratched his head.

"When you went to the Chen residence earlier, did Master Xie teach you sword moves individually?"

The senior sister smiled and said, "Did you know about his promotion to Yin God?"

"I?"

Yuan Yi laughed in silence: "How would I know this?"

"pity."

The senior sister sat on the stone steps and murmured, "Now everyone is guessing what realm Young Master Xie is in... They say that those top talents, after being promoted to Yin God, can cross several realms at once. Some can reach the fourth realm of Yin God in one go, and some can even step into the fifth realm of Yin God!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yi just sat with his senior sister, silent.

"I heard that the most talented person in the history of Baihua Valley has just been promoted to the fifth level of Yin God."

Senior Sister sighed: "Young Master Xie may be even more talented than that one? But the news outside is getting more and more outrageous. Some people say that Young Master Xie has even condensed a Dharma image..."

"Ah, who said that?"

Yuan Yi blinked.

“I don’t know either.” Senior Sister shrugged and said, “That person said that the Dharma image condensed by Young Master Xie was a huge flying sword.”

Yuan Yi stopped talking.

She held her chin and looked into the distance, thinking that the man had guessed wrong.

She had already seen the image of Master Xie Shan.

It was a golden deity as dazzling as the sun.

Compared with this, the Dharma images of other people are just like tiny fireflies.
