Embers of Sword

Chapter 478 Bai Ze ()

The wind was biting and the rain was howling.

The treasure ship hovered at a low altitude, maintaining balance with great difficulty.

One after another, figures flew into the air riding their swords.

The earth cracked, revealing an endless abyss; the barren mountains collapsed and fell into the secret realm of Bai Ze.

This scene... was woven out by golden light, turning into a broad scroll, hovering above the hill above the pavilion.

"Bai Ze Secret Realm."

Xie Xuanyi stared at the ancient and imposing cave plaque in the scroll, and his heart could no longer remain calm.

He also felt the collapse of heaven and earth just now.

The roar of the earth collapsing overwhelmed the sound of shouting and killing...

now.

The whole world became quiet.

In fact, it was not because this place was remote enough that it was "spared". If Xie Xuanyi left the golden light barrier at this moment, he would find that this small hill, Liting, was completely wrapped in the barrier due to the existence of the "Buddha's light and spiritual charm", and was completely independent. The bottom of the mountain was already shattered, the ground collapsed, and below was the boundless abyss like a crack.

"Is this the method you have prepared?"

Xie Xuanyi's voice was hoarse.

"good."

The prince did not deny it. He stood on the chariot and said with a smile, "Master Lu is a rare genius in the world. He is proficient in the art of Qimen and has the ability to move mountains and seas... The night attack of the three major sects is only to seize Zhanjiao Mountain and lure out the Da Chu monks. Whether these people are chasing or evacuating, they will eventually come to the 'designated area'. Thanks to you, they have the opportunity to see this once-in-a-lifetime spectacle of good fortune."

"Thanks to me? I don't have such great ability..."

Xie Xuanyi said sarcastically, "Your Highness, this is all thanks to you, right? How much benefit did you give to Lu Yuzhen to make him work so hard? Are you planning to give him half of the Li Kingdom?"

"Master Lu and I hit it off right away and became as close as brothers."

The prince smiled and said, "He helped me to quell the conflict in Li State, and I helped him to conquer the chaotic land in Southern Xinjiang."

Xie Xuanyi continued to sneer: "Is that so... Why did I hear that none of the other brothers of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a good ending?"

The dispute over the country lasted for many years.

Now, only the Crown Prince and the Ninth Prince are fighting.

Before that, there were challenges.

Instead, all those princes who coveted the imperial power were dealt with by the crown prince.

Born in the royal family, there is no such thing as being as close as brothers. The closer the relationship, the more brutal the fighting.

"The world is not peaceful. We don't have a choice... right?"

The prince smiled.

The struggle for imperial power in Li State was extremely cruel.

There is no compromise or concession here, only success or failure. The winner will be the king and the loser will be the bandit. It determines both victory and defeat, as well as life and death.

"My father once said that no one in this world can escape greed. The Battle of Drinking Poison was caused by the Immortal Spring. The Taoist master who climbed to the top of the mountain could not control his greed, betrayed the human race, and joined the Demon Kingdom. There are more than one such examples. Even if one has cultivated to the level of Yang God, there is greed. Then how can Yin Gods and even lower-level mortals avoid it?"

The prince chuckled and suddenly asked, "So... from the moment the Bai Ze Secret Realm came into being, the significance of the Southern Border Demon War has changed. Guess how many Da Chu cultivators will choose to step into the Bai Ze Secret Realm tonight and try their luck and fortune?"

The reputation of the Great Sage Bai Ze is extremely loud.

It’s not just because this great sage is powerful enough.

It’s even more because…

Before he died, he announced to the world that his most precious treasures and the most powerful secret techniques were left in the secret realm of the cave!

After the death of Great Saint Bai Ze, many holy places have been looking for this secret treasure. Unfortunately, Great Saint Bai Ze left behind many "cave residences", and most of the secret realms discovered in recent years are false secret realms... Even Beihailing is no exception. These false cave residences are considered a small part of Bai Ze's legacy to the world, but they are far from being real secret treasures!
"Life and death are destiny, wealth is in heaven."

Xie Xuanyi said expressionlessly: "I don't care how many people step into this secret realm."

The plan of the Crown Prince of Li State was indeed obscure enough. However...

If you want to threaten me with the life and death of these people, you are making a wrong idea.

"As expected of Xie Xuanyi's disciple, he is just as cold-blooded and ruthless as the rumors say..."

The prince showed an admiring look, and he slowly reminded: "In fact, these people are not completely unrelated to you. Some of them are your old friends."

"You're right. There are indeed old friends of mine, but perhaps more people want me dead."

Xie Xuanyi spoke nonchalantly, with a hint of self-mockery.

This time, the demon...

In order to suppress himself, Renshou Palace deliberately drew up a list. Except for Xu Nianning, almost no other disciples of Dasui Sword Palace participated in the battle.

At this time, this arrangement actually relieved a lot of pressure.

"No matter what, there are always people who want you to live..."

"You don't want to relive the scene of your master's death ten years ago, do you?"

The prince spoke quietly.

"......?" Xie Xuanyi frowned.

"No matter how great your swordsmanship is, if you take the wrong path, you will make the whole world your enemy."

The prince spoke coldly, his voice restrained: "Ten years ago, your master died in the siege of the world... You have been hiding and practicing hard for these years, and finally achieved the great way. You don't want to experience such an occasion again, do you?"

“你… … “Is it true?”

A hint of coldness flashed across Xie Xuanyi's eyes.

"As long as you leave the barrier."

The prince said in a serious tone, "I promise you... the scene ten years ago will happen again. You will become everyone's enemy, and you will die here."

"…but it's not too late yet."

The prince took a deep breath and extended an olive branch again: "Xie Zhen, you still have a chance. As long as you are willing to nod and compromise, everything can still change."

In fact, he had already returned to the chariot and was ready to leave.

The moment the golden barrier was torn apart, the prince thought the negotiations had broken down.

But this young swordsman took another step back.

Xie Zhen did not break the barrier, which means everything is not over yet.

He didn't want to give up this rare negotiation opportunity.

"Before the Chuli War broke out, I allowed you to retain your identity as the Dasui Sword Palace, and you are still the new master of Xuanshui Dongtian."

The prince said in a deep voice: "Nothing will change... You can even continue to live in Da Chu."

The prince's ambition is no longer limited to pacifying the Li Kingdom.

He is already planning for his future move north.

The Chu Li War broke out. Once he could control a chess piece like "Xie Zhen", the Dasui Sword Palace would take advantage of the situation and become a sharp sword piercing the imperial city.

This idea is good.

But alas…it’s just a nice idea, nothing more.

Xie Xuanyi lost his last bit of patience.

He drew his sword.

The vast skylight penetrated and fell in front of Xie Xuanyi.

The majestic and solemn martial arts god clasped his hands together, instantly grasped the golden sword energy, and then slashed at the golden chariot -
