Embers of Sword

Chapter 455 Teaching
In fact, a year ago, Yuan Yi would not have refused Xiao Qi’s invitation.

At that time, she was really a pure and innocent girl. Before she joined the Hundred Flowers Valley, she was just a simple girl from a merchant family, living in Jiangning, the most prosperous place in Dachu. Her parents were engaged in the waterway business. Their family was not rich, but at least she had never suffered. So Yuan Yi felt that everyone around her was a good person. This concept did not change until the end of Beihai Mausoleum. It was not that Yuan Yi suddenly became shrewd and mercenary after experiencing life and death, but that after she returned to the sect from Beihai Mausoleum, she was suddenly told that the family that had originally had a bright future had actually fallen into a bleak situation of struggling to support itself.

In recent years, under the rule of Xie family, the various clans in Jiangning have surrendered one after another, and the waterway business has been shrinking again and again. The big fish eat the small fish, and the small fish eat the shrimp. The Yuan family, which has no backing, can only be regarded as a slightly larger piece of sugar mud in the huge Jiangning. After Xie family reorganized its industries, these insignificant little people were kicked out one after another. The Yuan family is no longer what it used to be, so my father is anxious to ask a Taoist master who has known me for many years to send her to Baihua Valley for practice even if it costs all the family money. Fortunately, Yuan Yi is competitive enough and is favored by Ye Qinglian, which keeps a ray of hope. During the time when Yuan Yi worshipped in Baihua Valley, the family business was completely broken, and my father owed a lot of silver, but he stopped other people in the family and never took the initiative to contact Yuan Yi. In fact, this man's idea is very simple. He doesn't want to disturb Yuan Yi's practice. Even if the family is in decline, he still hopes that his only daughter can live a carefree life.

The news of the Qingzhou rebellion reached Jiangning.

The Yuan family, which was already in a bleak state, learned that a bloody battle had taken place at Beihai Mausoleum and all the young disciples of Baihua Valley had died...the sky was about to fall.

Fortunately in misfortune.

Yuan Yi is still alive.

After surviving the disaster, the father and daughter were able to meet each other.

Yuan Yi was glad that she had started practicing. Although her current realm was still low and she could not change the decision made by Xie family in Jiangning, she could at least help the family survive. She found Ye Qinglian and asked for instructions. The Yuan family moved from Jiangning to Qingzhou very smoothly and took over a small part of the remaining business of "Chu family" under the guidance of Baihua Valley. After the death of King You Hai, Qingzhou ushered in a huge reshuffle. The tide festival war ended. The young national teacher left a way for the Chu family to survive and did not kill them all, but most of the Chu family's industries in Qingzhou were taken over.

Now everything here is decided by Baihua Valley and the Jiang family.

In a sense, Yuan Yi gave this family on the verge of collapse a new life.

Many people grow up overnight.

Since that day, Yuan Yi has changed a lot.

She began to practice hard.

It's not just to catch up with Mr. Xiao Xie, but also to get rid of the useless self in the past.

If tonight goes as normal...

Then Xiao Qi would not get any response when he came to visit. Yuan Yi felt a little sympathy for this Junior Sister Xiao, but it was limited to sympathy. She would not even accept the cakes that Xiao Qi brought. She would probably just politely say, "Junior Sister, it's too late, go to bed early," and then follow up with, "If you can't sleep, practice well."

But tonight was not a normal night.

Just when Yuan Yi was about to refuse, a familiar voice suddenly came from his heart.

Xie Xuanyi did not rest in the magical treasure caves of the Jiang family and Baihua Valley.

He hovered over the top of Yuangui Mountain with his sword.

The sky was dim, just the right size for a blanket, with swords hanging from the ceiling and thin evening clouds lingering around. His spiritual thoughts shrank and covered the entire Yuangui Mountain, observing every young disciple of Baihua Valley and Jiang Family… The specific matters regarding the Southern Border Demon Suppression were still under discussion, but they had nothing to do with Xie Xuanyi. He no longer wanted to participate in meaningless discussions, and he respected all decisions made by the Da Chu Inspectors.

But some things have to be in your own hands.

When participating in the Northern Hunt, Xie Xuanyi was tricked once. The treasure ship Jia Geng was full of evil cultivators. This time, the candidates for the treasure ship were selected by the Book House and the Imperial City Department. They were all their own people, so of course they were much more reliable, but the opponent became the Paper Man Dao. Xie Xuanyi carefully checked every unfamiliar disciple. He actually knew no more about the Paper Man Dao than others. The reason why he was able to recognize "Qianyuan Taoist" was just because he happened to meet Dao Jiu in advance... If Lu Yuzhen had other transformed treasures under his command, mixed into the treasure ship, and lurked around him, he might not be able to recognize them.

In fact, Xiao Qi hid it very well.

Xie Xuanyi's spiritual sense swept over her and he didn't notice anything unusual. According to common sense, he wouldn't pay too much attention to this ordinary disciple.

But rather.

In the entire Yuangui Mountain, Xie Xuanyi only took special care of one person.

That is Yuan Yi.

So everything that happened next... just happened naturally.

Yuan Yi followed Xie Xuanyi's instructions, cooperated with Xiao Qi step by step, left the mountain gate, avoided the supervision of the patrolling disciples, and finally came here, in a remote corner where no one knew, everyone tore off each other's disguises and showed each other their cards. If Xie Xuanyi had not left a special divine thought on Yuan Yi and controlled the situation from the beginning, then everything would become passive now.

"..."

Looking at the "flying sword" that fell to the ground, Xiao Qi had an ugly expression. It turned out to be just a randomly broken dead branch, not even a treasure that had been tempered individually!

At this moment, she recalled the scene of controlling the wind blade to scare the girl.

Only then did I understand why Yuan Yi was always so calm.

No wonder Yuan Yi didn't even blink... It turned out that in today's "enter the trap", she was the target of the trap. But the other party trusted this young man named Xie too much, right? After all, she was in her own domain. In the previous situation, as long as she changed her mind, the wind blade would have pierced her head directly without turning!
Above the zenith.

A faint golden flame can be seen slowly hanging in the air, like the sun.

Xiao Qi raised his head and frowned.

She couldn't see the specific sight of the bright light above her head, she just felt that the sun was really dazzling.

At the same time, Xiao Qi felt vaguely fortunate in his heart. Although Xie Zhen's sword just now seemed sharp, the dead branch that tore through the sky and fell straight to the earth only split the world into two, using the sword energy as a screen to wrap up Yuan Yi's shield, and did not destroy the "integrity" of the barrier. It seemed that Xie Zhen also wanted to solve the problem on the spot and did not want to alarm other irrelevant people.

In this way, the power of this barrier was not destroyed.

The invisible wings behind her trembled slightly——

The sea of wind that was shattered and extinguished by the sword energy ignited the embers and began to flow slowly again.

Xiao Qi took a deep breath, and the power of the Dao Realm surged. Just as the wind in this world was getting louder, she heard a cold and indifferent voice.

"…The third style of the Qingteng chapter."

Xiao Qi was stunned.

The sound fell from the sky, landed on the earth, and slowly spread out. The silent ripples mixed with the sound of the wind and dispersed the accumulated strong wind.

Suddenly, the branches and leaves swayed and the grass and trees bent down.

The girl standing not far from Xiao Qi had a solemn expression on her face. She gripped her reed sword tightly and took a stance.

"Ah?!"

Xiao Qi was so angry that he couldn't help laughing out loud.

She thought it all extremely absurd.

What I just said... was meant for Yuan Yi to hear!

Are you kidding me?
Yuan Yi is only at the Yuqi Realm, while I am at the Yinshen Realm! This guy surnamed Xie wants to teach Yuqi Realm how to play against me? !
However, things in this world are so absurd.

One dares to teach, the other dares to fight.

Yuan Yi held the reed tightly, without any hesitation, took a step forward, raised the tip of the sword, and a series of green vines grew out from the ground. This was an extremely simple sword move. In the Baihua Valley Sword Canon, it was often used for defense, but in Yuan Yi's hands, it had a more "self-sacrifice" meaning. This little girl in the Qi Control Realm didn't care what would happen to herself after handing out this sword -

A sword thrust out.

Countless green vines rose from the ground against the strong wind!

Looking at this scene, Xiao Qi's face turned pale. She felt that she had been greatly insulted.

The reason why she concentrated all her efforts on condensing the Dao realm was to have a decisive battle with the sword-controlling cultivator named Xie at the top of the sky. It would have been fine if Xie had not bothered to draw his sword against her, but did he really want to instruct a Qi-controlling cultivator to defeat her?
An ant in the Qi Control Realm!
I can kill him with just one casual slap——

Facing such a sword, Xiao Qi certainly would not retreat. She was extremely angry, and the murderous intent in her eyes was also extremely concentrated. The air of the entire small world was stained with a layer of coldness at this moment. Xiao Qi stood still and used the simplest and most contemptuous way to fight back -

She raised her sleeves and raised her hands.

The strong wind surged, forming a giant hand dozens of feet in the distance, strong enough to submerge a hill, and "slowly" approached the ground.

Rumble!
The whistling sound fell into Yuan Yi's ears. She continued to hand over the sword without any hesitation.

She doesn't care about all the other voices in the world.

She only cares about one person.

The man asked her to draw her sword, so she drew her sword. The man asked her to use the "Third Move of Qingteng", so she used the Third Move of Qingteng.

"No need to change tactics."

Xie Xuanyi stood on the ceiling, with his hands behind his back, watching the scene calmly.

His voice, word by word, fell clearly into Yuan Yi's heart: "Continue, continue with the third move."

Yuan Yi's running speed was getting faster and faster.

She could feel the roar of the mountains and the sea beside her ears——

The huge palm condensed by the strong wind almost drowned and crushed her!
But at the moment when the strong wind was about to hit the girl's weak body, the dead branch stuck in the ground suddenly trembled slightly, and a ray of invisible black Dao Realm bloomed in an instant, cutting the entire Dao Realm world close to the girl, and transformed into an extremely thin, almost negligible wall of sword energy. This ink line instantly rose from the ground, and the powerful strong wind hit the thin wall of the Dao Realm of Destruction, and it shattered and dissipated directly.

Immediately afterwards, a very light tearing sound was heard between heaven and earth.

"Stab!"

Yuan Yi stared at the scene in front of him, his face full of disbelief.

The third style of Qingteng Chapter.

The most unadorned sword in the entire story...

It was handed over by her, who was at the Qi Control Realm.

It actually successfully pierced into the body of Yin Shen Zun.
