Embers of Sword

Chapter 475 In the Rain
Southern Xinjiang ushered in a heavy rain.

Within a radius of a hundred miles, the sky was like a huge waterfall, and heavy rain was pouring down, but it could not extinguish the strong miasma that filled the mountains and fields.

Several long white rainbows shuttled through the rain curtain.

The leader was dressed in white, with an indifferent expression, his clothes fluttering in the wind, stained with red stains.

is blood.

But it was not his blood.

Qin Qianlian stood in the air with his hands behind his back, looking gloomy.

The tragic battle of Qingfu Mountain is over.

This attack tonight was carefully planned by the three major sects...Except for Qingfu Mountain, the other Zhanjiao Mountains were also not spared. It is said that the battle situation in the neighboring Xuanzui Mountain was even more bleak. Qing Xiao came in person, and the Yin Gods invited by Qin Baihuang attacked together, but they were still defeated and could only escape by driving the treasure ship.

Before this attack came.

Everyone was discussing whether to wait for three days.

just now.

The content of the soul discussion in the Royal Message has changed.

Originally, morale was high during this demon-eliminating campaign, and the relationship between the seven mountains was a little tense as everyone wanted to take the credit, but now that they were faced with a foreign invasion, everyone became more united than ever before.

Except for Xuanzui Mountain, no one in the other Zhanjiao Mountains seemed to be so "unlucky" as to encounter an attack from a figure of Qingxiao's level.

The vast majority of holy places ended this raid war.

Many of Qin Qianlian's Changshengzhai disciples were killed or injured.

He ordered a guest elder who had reached the perfect cave-heaven realm in the temple to take the injured disciple away on a treasure ship.

And he led a few of his trusted disciples to hunt down Master Shi...

This was actually not a reckless move. None of the Yinshen Venerables who had successfully broken through the encirclement could swallow this humiliation. After they arranged for the wounded, they agreed to meet at "Qidingshan", the three-way intersection of the border, and meet and gather together while chasing the "Guiding Messenger" in broad daylight.

However, the situation was not as smooth as expected.

"Uncle Qianlian, something seems to be wrong..."

Su Hong had already sensed the uneasiness. He lowered his voice and said cautiously, "That corpse master was only a few miles away. How come he suddenly disappeared?"

"..."

Qin Qianlian was silent.

This is indeed a bit strange.

His spiritual thoughts were originally fixed firmly on Master Shi.

This guy didn't run very fast, but just now, he disappeared without a trace.

"Moreover... we followed the map of Southern Xinjiang, but after walking for quite some time, we didn't run into Da Daoist Fellow Chu..."

Su Hong said nervously, "Qiding Mountain, it shouldn't be that far away, right?"

Qin Qianlian remained silent.

"Uncle Master, how about we retreat?"

Su Hong said cautiously, "This place is weird. Let's leave Southern Border and report the weirdness to the Taoist sect. If the Great Immortal comes forward, it should be much safer. At worst, we can ask the host to fight back to Southern Border. We don't have to be too afraid of the Green Owl and the Red Immortal."

"It's too late to leave now."

Qin Qianlian lowered his eyebrows and said slowly: "Everything that happened tonight... is not a coincidence. As long as you step into Southern Xinjiang, it will be difficult to escape."

This statement came out.

The several Changshengzhai disciples who followed Qin Qianlian all had somewhat ugly expressions.

"Do you still remember the 'Tao Seal' you gave away while walking?"

Qin Qianlian stretched out his hand and pointed it at the dense forest not far away.

laugh!
The dense forest trembled, and a snow-white square seal flew from the air and flew into his palm.

"It seems like we are chasing after the corpse master, but in fact we are just going around in circles... We have been to this place more than once."

Qin Qianlian said expressionlessly: "I heard that among the evil cultivators in Southern Xinjiang, there are people who can control miasma, change the weather, and alter the terrain..."

"Are there such weirdos in this world?"

Su Hong was a little frightened.

"The world's great wonders."

Qin Qianlian chuckled, looked towards the end of the rain curtain, and said calmly: "Sometimes, you think the situation is already bad, but in fact it will be worse."

Su Hong was stunned.

Could it be worse?
He didn't quite understand what his uncle meant for a moment... They were originally here to hunt down Master Shi, but now they haven't seen him, and the way out is shrouded in a maze. It's really terrible.

What could be worse?
“…The person who should have shown up didn’t show up.”

Qin Qianlian said sarcastically: "The person who shouldn't have appeared showed up."

next moment.

The roar of the treasure ship shook from the other side of the rain.

Su Hong was stunned, and several other disciples also looked in the direction of the roar.

Good news, that was the sound made by the Da Chu treasure ship when it was sailing.

Bad news, the roar of the treasure ships was very dense, it sounded like there was more than one ship, at least three, four... "Boom!"

The rain curtain was smashed by the giant, and a total of five treasure ships were aligned and sailed through the air. The green flames from the burning Yuanshi illuminated the dark sky of a thousand feet. The only mountain among the seven Zhanjiao Mountains that had such a "travel formation" was Xuanzui Mountain where Qin Baihuang was. As the head of the Refining Department, Qin Baihuang controlled the highest authority to mobilize the Dachu treasure ship. However, the Xuanzui Mountain treasure ship at this moment looked quite bleak, and it no longer had the momentum when it came. The Yuanli formation that covered the treasure ship and was responsible for protecting the hull was shattered, the barrier was dim, and spider webs were blooming.

Among the seven mountains, the one with the largest number of monks stationed is "Xuanzui Mountain", and it is also the one with the strongest attack force.

Qingxiao arrived in person.

Even with the Eighteenth Realm Yin God in charge, Xuanzui Mountain still had no choice but to escape.

Su Hong looked at the treasure ship and suddenly understood what his uncle had meant before... He could have met anyone in the Seven Mountains, except the brother that his uncle usually had the most problems with.

But he felt a little confused.

According to the news from the royal order, the Xuanzui Mountain treasure ship should have withdrawn from the front battlefield. This attack was too sudden, so Qin Baihuang decided to retreat with all his men and temporarily leave the territory, and he himself would not attend the meeting with the supervisor of "Qidingshan".

In this situation, how is it possible for them to meet my group?
……

……

Xuanzuishan treasure ship, on the deck.

The wind and rain raged, all falling on Qin Baihuang, bouncing off the surface of his neatly-fitting black armor, making crisp echoes.

"How are the wounded?"

"Is Qingxiao's aura still there?"

"Is the treasure ship's route correct?"

Qin Baihuang looked serious.

Beside him, the messenger from the Weapon Refining Department kept trotting and reporting the situation. The attack tonight was too sudden. Xuan Zui Mountain fought back immediately, but was still severely injured by Qing Xiao...

"Master, in the battle just now, among those who boarded the ship... 31 were seriously injured, and 97 were slightly injured. There were 42 people who did not board the ship."

"The aura of the Green Owl is no longer within range."

"The treasure ship is on the right course and will soon sail out of the territory."

Qin Baihuang listened silently with a heavy heart.

There are the best healing treasures on the treasure ship, and these seriously injured monks should be able to be rescued.

only……

Those who did not board the ship had only one ending.

"Brother Qian, how are you injured?"

He turned around and looked at Qian San who was beside him, and spoke with concern.

The arrival of the Green Owl was almost a disaster.

Xuanzuishan fought back with all his might but was still defeated.

At the critical moment, it was Qian San who stepped forward and held Qing Xiao back, which led to the current situation... This most trusted spy of Chen Jingxuan was determined to sacrifice his entire life to save these treasure ships.

"Don't worry... you won't die..."

Qian San looked a little pale and coughed lightly, but he smiled and spoke nonchalantly.

Having said that.

But Qin Baihuang saw it very clearly before.

Qing Xiao used the Soul-Knocking Banner to smash the treasure ship, and Qian San desperately took the blow.

At this moment, blood kept dripping from Qian San's sleeves and falling on the wooden railing at the bow.

"Wait a second."

Qin Baihuang gritted his teeth and said seriously: "Wait a little longer, and the treasure ship will be able to leave southern Xinjiang."

"If that's the case, that would be great..."

Qian San smiled and looked up at the heavy rain, muttering softly, "I'm afraid it's not that simple."

The words fell.

Qin Baihuang, who was holding the railing with both hands and looking into the distance, suddenly looked ugly.

The huge treasure ship broke through layers of rain and its speed began to slow down. According to the original route, the treasure ship should have reached the border of the southern border at this moment.

however.

What comes into view is not a territorial boundary.

Behind the mountains, there are more mountains.

The end of the layers of rain.

There was a person hanging there who shouldn't be here at the moment.

The rain was heavy.

The huge treasure ship slowly stopped in the air.

Qin Baihuang and Qin Qianlian looked at each other across the heavy rain. The world was silent, but the sound of rain was noisy.

(PS: I made some revisions to the previous chapter. Qin Qianlian was not chasing Baimu Zhenren, but Shidao Ren. Baimu Zhenren was under the command of Chixian, but Shidao Ren was under the command of Tiangui Zong. You don’t need to read back after reading this. The revision here will not affect subsequent reading.)
