Embers of Sword

Chapter 49: Tide Viewing Pavilion (Please read!)

Deng Baiyi sat under the shade of a tree on Xiaohuangshan Mountain, waiting for Xie Zhen's retreat to end.

She was very worried about Xie Zhen's injuries... but after all, his realm was low, and after taking charge of the Nine-Bright Phoenix Fire Formation, she had consumed too much energy.

After waiting for a while, he put his hand on his chin and dozed off, his head like a chick pecking at rice.

"Hoohoohoo."

A gust of wind blew across the top of the mountain.

Xie Xuanyi, who successfully broke through, waved his sleeves to dispel the remaining purple yuan elixir aura, and at the same time reached out to pick off the pure talismans hanging in array.

He looked forward and couldn't help laughing.

Under the shade of the trees, Deng Baiyi and Jiang Huang, one big and one small, were both dozing off.

The breeze blows gently.

Deng Baiyi looked up suddenly, and in her sleepy state, she saw the thin figure in black sitting next to her, reaching out to remove the resin mask from her cheek.

The vision gradually went from blurry to clear.

Xie Xuanyi's handsome face came into view.

"woke up?"

Xie Xuanyi spoke softly, folded a thick stack of purification talismans neatly, and returned them to Deng Baiyi.

"you……"

Deng Baiyi stretched out the back of her hand and gently wiped her saliva, her eyes suddenly lit up with surprise: "Are you okay?"

She looked at Xie Xuanyi's right shoulder in disbelief.

If I remember correctly... there was a bloody hole as big as a fist here before!

How long has it been? Less than half a night.

The black shirt was torn, but the surface of the skin was as smooth as jade. Not to mention the bloody holes, not even a blood scab could be seen!

Deng Baiyi's eyes were full of disbelief.

She moved closer cautiously, bent the back of her fingers, and tapped it gently as if she was hitting a stone, and then hit it again.

Xie Xuanyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's fine now."

"Worlds, full of wonders."

After a pause, Xie Xuanyi said leisurely: "The reason why practitioners use the energy of heaven and earth to infuse their heads is to play the role of 'cleansing the meridians and cutting the marrow'. After changing the tendons and bones, they can live longer... Such a method of regenerating flesh and blood is nothing in Buddhism. Many great practitioners can do it."

Deng Baiyi blinked: "...Buddhism?"

What is the background of this guy Xie Zhen?

How come he knows a little bit about everything?
When Xie Xuanyi saw Deng Baiyi's reaction, he sighed in his heart. He couldn't explain why she was resurrected so quickly. Could it be because of the "Fountain of Immortality"?

Xie Xuanyi explained: "It's not just Buddhism, many major sects have it."

"You don't have to explain to me, as long as you're okay."

Deng Baiyi shook her head. She was actually no longer curious about Xie Zhen's sect background. "That evil cultivator has been killed... Do you have any clues about your flying sword?"

This statement came out.

Xie Xuanyi fell silent for a moment.

He has not yet told Deng Baiyi about the Demon Kingdom and the Bai Ze Secret Realm.

The girl thought she was searching souls to find the flying sword.

After pondering for a moment, Xie Xuanyi decided to suppress the matter... Deng Baiyi was just a Qi Refiner, and there was no benefit in knowing this.

He decided to do the next thing by himself.

“There are some clues, but it’s not clear yet.”

Hearing this answer, Deng Baiyi's eyes showed a little more joy.

She wished she could stay with Xie Zhen for a while longer.

The flying sword has not been found yet, which means the matter of Lichao City is not over yet.

Deng Baiyi blinked and asked, "Do you need my help with anything else?"

"No need."

Xie Xuanyi knew what she was thinking, so he shook his head and said, "You can have a good rest these few days. Don't worry about the follow-up. I will take care of the flying sword."

……

……

Deng Baiyi fell asleep holding Jiang Huang in her arms under the shade of a tree.

Xie Xuanyi was standing alone on the top of Xiaohuang Mountain.

The battle ended tonight, and the two were exhausted, but Xie Xuanyi was in high spirits, his mind was clear, and he didn't feel tired at all.

Xie Xuanyi silently thought about what to do next.

If you want to get [Chronic Illness], you need to enter the Bai Ze Secret Realm.

In Qingzhou, there are two major families.

The Jiang family and the Chu family!
In addition, there is another huge sect that should not be underestimated. Its strength and status can be ranked among the top ten in Da Chu, Baihua Valley!
The emergence of the Bai Ze Secret Realm must have been the result of these three major forces working together to block the news.

Xie Xuanyi had a headache a few days ago...

Once the Bai Ze Secret Realm comes to light, the three major forces will jointly block it, and ordinary people will have no chance to set foot in it.

But now that he had obtained the information from Jialiu Soul Sea, Xie Xuanyi had some idea.

According to the arrangement of Venerable Longmu, after obtaining Bai Ze's finger bone, he can contact the "big shot in Qingzhou". If the other party really wants to cooperate with the Demon Country... then he will definitely arrange matters to get close to the secret realm.

You can use finger bones to test the authenticity of the secret realm without entering it.

As long as he gets close to a certain range, Jia Liu can get the "truth" and report it to the Reverend Long Mu.

At this point, the task is completed.

Now, Jialiu is dead... He holds Jialiu's residual soul, the ring, and the most important Bai Ze finger bone.

In a sense, this is what the "Jia Liu" can do.

He can do it all.

Xie Xuanyi rubbed his eyebrows and accidentally caught a glimpse of a bright light in the distance.

In order to ambush Jialiu, the deployment point of the Nine-Bright Phoenix Fire Array was deliberately chosen to be very high. Not only could one see the slightly shorter Chenqing Mountain, but one could also see the scenery of Lichao City not far away over the mountain. Now that the night was past midnight, all the lights in this prosperous ancient city were extinguished and everything was silent.

But in the darkness of the whole city, there was a tall building that stood like a tower, always brightly lit.

Lichao City is famous for its annual high tides.

The tall building that stands like a tower is the most famous "attraction" in Lichao City and also the best place to watch the tide.

Tide-Watching Pavilion.

"I heard that King Youhai is hosting a banquet at the Tide Viewing Pavilion tonight..."

Xie Xuanyi narrowed his eyes.

"The only people who can be entertained by King Youhai are none other than those few people."

More than ten years ago, he was wanted... and once fled to Qingzhou.

Baihua Valley, Jiang family, Chu family.

Xie Xuanyi has dealt with these three major forces.

The place he was most familiar with should be Baihua Valley, because he had fought with Baihua Valley many times before the wanted order was issued.

Xie Xuanyi became famous at a young age. Before he truly conquered all four realms, many people did not recognize the title of this so-called "Sword Immortal".

There were long stretches of time in between.

Countless monks climbed the mountain to visit and ask for the sword.

Those who are too weak can’t even reach the mountain gate.

The reason why Xie Xuanyi had such a deep memory of Baihua Valley... was because the disciples who came out of Baihua Valley were first-rate in terms of both their cultivation realm and their own talents.

Although the two most prestigious sects in Da Chu are Taoism and Sword Palace.

But this does not mean that Da Chu only has these two sects.

All three thousand great ways can lead to ascension.

In addition to Taoism and the Sword Palace, other sects also have amazing figures who founded their own schools and led the top of an era.

Baihua Valley is such a first-class sect that is ranked among the top ten in Da Chu.

As for the story of the Chu family, everyone in Qingzhou should know it.

There were only three kings of different surnames in the whole of Da Chu, and Chu Lin, the King of Youhai, was one of them... However, the fact that this prince could have such a status had nothing to do with his family, it was purely his own "good fortune". Several years ago, there was a fierce internal struggle in the Da Chu Dynasty. Before the previous Da Chu Emperor ascended the throne and even confirmed the crown prince, there was a period of bleak and difficult times.

At that time, Chu Lin and the young Emperor Chu were close friends and they helped each other with all their strength. Later, when the True Dragon rose to power, he naturally also achieved enlightenment and ascended to heaven.

This can be seen from the "title" of this king of a different surname.

Swim in the sea, swim in the sea.

Don’t break the rules and be free.

After Emperor Chu passed away, Prince Youhai was not affected. This was because this prince had always held a sinecure. Although he held a high position, he did not have much actual power. He could not interfere with the institutions and laws within the imperial city and could only live a carefree life in his own fiefdom.

However, these are enough to make the Chu family a powerful force.
-
The last Jiang family.

This is actually the one among the three major forces that Xie Xuanyi is most familiar with.

The current head of the family, Jiang Lie, is a well-known garrison commander in the northern border.

Jiang Lie fought bravely in the Northern Border Campaign, won several key battles, and participated in the final battle to kill the Great Lord Mo Ji. His military achievements were brilliant and brilliant.

He was already a veteran back then and is now nearly eighty years old.

In recent years, the royal family of Da Chu has dismissed all the garrison commanders, and most of them have been transferred back to the imperial city... There is also a small number that have returned to their fiefdoms. Old Man Jiang is one of these very few "returnees".

The Jiang family is a prominent family that has dominated Qingzhou for many years.

Jiang Lie refused the trip to the imperial city on the grounds of his advanced age, and decided to retire and return to his hometown. The imperial city had no choice but to approve his request.

these years.

Mr. Jiang no longer moves outside.

The Jiang family's huge foundation was gradually handed over to young people to manage.

The reason why Xie Xuanyi knew about the "Jiang Family" was because he had a very special relationship with the "Jiang Family"...

When he was fleeing, everyone in the world wanted to kill him.

Only the Jiang family is willing to help.

It can be said that if it weren’t for the Jiang family, he would have died in Qingzhou long ago.

"call."

Xie Xuanyi spent half an incense stick of time organizing his thoughts and sorting out his fragmented memories of Qingzhou.

Then he let out a breath of foul air.

Looking at the swaying lanterns on the rooftop of Guanchao Pavilion, Xie Xuanyi's eyes were slightly complicated.

He was thinking and struggling.

"I want to go see ..."

"Is that the traitor that Reverend Longmu mentioned?"

　"Kouzhi——Fubao has been received."
