Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 274 Named Quexie
Outside the Earth Fire Grotto, there was a rare expanse of lush greenery. It was spring, and the area was filled with delicate peach blossoms. Who knew who had sown them so casually?

Chen Mu held a water-colored long sword in his hand, and swung out a sword flower with his right hand. His eyes were fixed on the long sword in his hand, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this. Although Chen Mu and the spirit sword were a perfect match at this moment, his action also meant that he didn't care about Nong Jiang's suggestion at all...

"This person has only just broken through to the foundation-building stage. How could he have the guts to disobey Uncle Nong?"

"I heard from Uncle Xiao that this person is a fellow Daoist from Shuiyunjian. Uncle Nong is forcing him so much. If this gets out, wouldn't it be like we, the Wenjian Pavilion, are bullying our fellow Daoists?"

"What a joke! I didn't let him suffer any loss by asking the Sword Pavilion. Uncle Nong gave him a spiritual sword for free. Isn't that enough?"

"Master Nong is still the same as always. The head master has warned him many times about this..."

……

Everyone was whispering to each other, looking at the changes on the field with different expressions.

Nong Jiang's face became increasingly gloomy and ugly.

Xiao Jingyuan and Fairy Xian Yue were both shocked and had a different understanding of Chen Mu.

However, Lin Yuanqing, who seemed to be indifferent to the matter, narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, I have one last question for you. Will you hand over this sword or not?"

A moment later, Nong Jiang suddenly spoke coldly with an expressionless face, his speech was slow and the pressure suddenly increased.

Everyone focused their attention again and looked at Chen Mu who was holding the sword.

Chen Mu's eyes lit up with joy. He suddenly looked up at Fairy Xian Yue and chuckled softly, "I haven't thanked you enough for forging this magical sword for me... Could you please give it a name?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked. This boy actually ignored Nong Jiang's question again. How frivolous and confident he was!

Fairy Xian Yue's eyebrows curved when she heard this, and she immediately said with a sweet smile: "In that case..."

She looked around, her eyes revealing a thoughtful look.

"It's better to choose the word 'Que Xie'."

"Cut off all the darkness, evil, and immoral things in the world!"

A soft voice lingered in the air, and the last sentence was spoken while looking at Nong Jiang, whose expression became increasingly gloomy.

"Quexie..." Chen Mu muttered to himself and repeated it, then burst into laughter: "Okay, let's call it Quexie Sword!"

"enough!"

A sudden roar broke the atmosphere. Nong Jiang, with a look of rage on his face, stepped forward and shouted, "Fellow Daoist Chen, this sword has belonged to Wenjian Pavilion before it even left our mountain gate. If you keep it, you can still keep my promise. But if you refuse my toast and drink the penalty wine, don't blame Wenjian Pavilion for bullying fellow Daoists!"

"Oh?" Chen Mu had been feeling a bit of anger for a long time. Upon hearing this, he sneered and replied, "I want to see what Fellow Daoist Nong has to offer!"

Although he was shocked and angry, he still had his rationality, so his words were only directed at Nong Jiang, and he did not stand against the entire Wenjian Pavilion.

"You are just a junior, there is no need for me to take action..."

Nong Jiang sneered, then suddenly looked at the person beside him and shouted, "Junior Brother Lin, go and compete with Fellow Daoist Chen. If you can keep the spirit sword, I will propose to the Sect Master that the Kunwu Sword be bestowed upon you!"

"Kunwu Sword!"

Everyone was shocked. Kunwu Sword was one of the seven spiritual swords of Wenjian Pavilion. Because its previous sword master died not long ago, it had been put aside and no new sword master was found.

This time, he actually promised it to Uncle Lin...

At the same time, Lin Yuanqing showed a look of joy, fearing that Nong Jiang would change his words again, so he immediately responded: "Thank you, Senior Brother Nong, I will definitely live up to your trust!" Just as Nong Jiang said, he did not take seriously a junior who had just entered the foundation-building stage.

The reality is that before such a journey, the extremely enthusiastic feeling that made Chen Mu feel like he was bathed in spring breeze disappeared...

"you dare!"

Fairy Xian Yue suddenly gave a delicate cry, and took light steps to block Chen Mu behind her.

"If you want to put me in an unjust position, kill me first!"

"Junior Brother Lin, aren't you afraid that the headmaster will blame you for doing this?"

Faced with the barrage of questions, Lin Yuanqing inexplicably raised the corners of his mouth, lowering his eyes with a forced smile as he whispered, "Senior Sister Xianyue, don't be silly... The mountain gate is only this small. Do you think the sect leader doesn't know what's going on here?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Fairy Xian Yue's expression froze, her red lips moved but she was speechless for a moment.

Chen Mu's heart moved when he saw this. Although he didn't know what Lin Yuanqing said, he knew it was not a good thing from her reaction.

But he had no intention of hiding behind others...

"Since Fellow Daoist Nong has sent Fellow Daoist Lin, if I lose I'll leave the spirit sword behind. But if I win..."

"If you can win, I will never mention this sword again!" Nong Jiang sneered.

"Okay!" Chen Mu laughed loudly, but the evil sword in his hand trembled slightly, as if sensing his inner emotions: "Fellow Daoist Lin, please!"

The two of them rose up and moved to an open area nearby. The surrounding area was full of peach blossoms, emitting a fragrant aroma.

The disciples followed closely with anticipation in their eyes, and found places with wide views to watch. Some even stepped on the branches of the peach tree, attracting everyone's attention and laughter.

"Uncle Lin has been cultivating his foundation for over ten years, and he's been practicing our sect's Phantom Moon Sword Scripture. Once he unleashes the Phantom Moon Sword Controlling Technique, the sky is filled with endless sword shadows. Ordinary people would be terrified at the mere sight of them, let alone finding a true flying sword to contend with them..."

"That's right. Besides, the flying sword used by Uncle Lin is also of mid-level, not much inferior to this person's."

"Don't be so careless. Shuiyunjian has always been famous for its magic. I also heard that this person was once the leader of the inner sect of our six sects. His magic is amazing. Uncle Lin probably doesn't have the confidence to win."

……

Everyone was discussing it, and when they looked up again, they found that something had changed in the scene.

Lin Yuanqing just clapped his hands lightly, and a faint, gray-white sword light flew out from the storage bag on his waist.

As his thoughts circled, spiritual light flashed and slashed towards Chen Mu.

The speed was incredibly fast, and it was already in front of Chen Mu in the blink of an eye.

Chen Mu stood still, and suddenly a waterfall appeared in front of him, making a rushing sound and blocking the gray-white sword light.

At the same time, he waved his hand lightly, and dozens of water-colored sword auras came out one after another, but unfortunately they were also blocked by Lin Yuanqing's wave of his hand.

The two of them unexpectedly chose to test it out first!
After this, both of them had some realization in their hearts, so they no longer held back, and a bright light suddenly shone in the sky.

A bright phantom moon rose behind Lin Yuanqing's head. With this inexplicable blessing, the shadows of his flying swords became more and more numerous, and in the blink of an eye, there were already thousands of them!

The sword shadows were so dense that they could not be seen clearly. The disciples were dazzled and felt a chill in their hearts.

Fortunately, Chen Mu was at a different level now, and with a sweep of his foundation-building consciousness, he was able to dispel most of the illusions...
