Borrowing a sword

Chapter 371 Let's go, let's take revenge!
Outside the courtyard, Xu Ziqing was stunned when she heard Chu Huaixu's words, as if struck by lightning.

"Senior brother."

He couldn't help but speak, his voice trembling slightly.

He naturally understood the meaning behind Chu Huaixu's words.

This is to accompany him to the Sword Inquiry Mountain!

The handsome young man suddenly felt a lump in his throat.

He's still just a teenager, and he was having all sorts of wild thoughts after drinking last night.

He wondered if he would run into his enemy if he went to Chunqiu Mountain.

"Spring and Autumn Mountain is so vast, and there are so many disciples within its sect, so the chances of not actually seeing them are actually greater."

"After all, my senior brother said that this trip is for important business."

"Moreover, since our master is accompanying us, the people who will come to entertain us will definitely be the high-ranking members of Spring and Autumn Mountain."

"But what if we actually see each other?"

Xu Ziqing didn't know how she felt or what state she was in.

Just imagining it made his blood boil, and his eyes started to fill with bloodshot veins.

But since he had promised his senior brother that important matters were more important, he would be patient.

It wouldn't be good to ruin my senior's important matter.

He had already drunk quite a bit of spirit wine last night, so much so that he was lost in thought for a long time after returning to his room.

Logically speaking, this medicine-loving man should have immediately sat down to meditate and digest the medicinal effects of this excellent spirit wine.

He sat on the futon for a full half hour before he began to sit cross-legged and cultivate.

In the past half hour, Chu Huaixu had gone to the next room and thoroughly "bullied" Han Shuangjiang.

But Xiao Xu also had a very fruitful night.

With the help of the medicine, he finally broke through to the Great Perfection of the Third Realm.
The East-West Continent Grand Competition of the Third Realm has been over for some time now.

He has only reached the peak of the third realm now.

This was even with a lot of external help.

Chu Huaixu sometimes thinks: "In 'Borrowing the Sword,' Xiao Xu was just a pseudo-spiritual embryo, but now he is at least a low-grade spiritual embryo."

"So, according to the original plot of 'Borrowing the Sword,' at what level will his personal cultivation stop?"

Chu Huaixu's personal guess is that he might only reach the fifth realm at most.

Therefore, he was occasionally a little confused.

"In this way, Xiao Xu will definitely not be able to break all the seals on the bronze sword."

"That is a big problem."

"A bronze sword that has only broken five or six seals won't actually play a significant role in the great calamity of heaven and earth," Chu Huaixu thought to himself.

"Unless..." she had a vague guess in her mind.

At this moment, Xu Ziqing heard Chu Huaixu instruct him to fetch the sword. After understanding the meaning behind it, he couldn't help but look at Jiang Zhi.

Strictly speaking, this requires permission from the higher-ups in the Taoist sect.

This evil sword is too important; even after bringing it down the mountain, Jiang Zhi will need to protect it along the way.

"Go and fetch it," Jiang Zhi, dressed in a white robe, said calmly.

Just as Xu Ziqing was about to answer, he heard his grandmaster speak again.

"This matter..." The arrogant old man paused deliberately, then said, "I agree."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xu looked up in surprise.

He wasn't sure if his master was using a double entendre.

Did he grant me permission to retrieve the sword, or...?
Xu Ziqing was suspicious because he had never told Jiang Zhi that his enemy was in Chunqiu Mountain.

Chu Huaixu stood beside the old man, smiled, and urged, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and get it! Don't delay the time."

"Ah!" Xiao Xu immediately responded, "Okay!"

He immediately used his movement technique to quickly reach the top of Cangling Mountain to retrieve the peerless sword.

After Xiao Xu left, Chu Huaixu slowly turned around, bowed to Jiang Zhi, and said, "Disciple thanks Grandmaster."

He had already informed Jiang Zhi and Xiang Yan about this matter this morning.

The old man was the most agitated and had the strongest stance.

It could be said that this matter was decided and finalized directly after he insisted on it.

Jiang Zhi turned to look at Chu Huaixu, and seeing him bow to her, she felt extremely relieved.

He used to always be proven wrong by this little thing, looking all smug, only to have the beads fall to the ground.

It's definitely not as comfortable as it is now!
But he gave a cold snort, flicked the sleeve of his white robe, turned slightly to face Chu Huaixu with his profile, and said:

"Why should you come and worship me for this matter? If anyone should be worshipping, it shouldn't be you!"

"Moreover," Jiang Zhi paused deliberately.

Then, he glanced at everyone present, and seeing that they were all looking at him, he continued:
“Xu Ziqing is my grand-disciple.” “His blood feud should be avenged.”

“This person has practiced such heretical cultivation methods; his crime deserves to be punished.”

Jiang Zhi flicked his sleeve again, putting one hand behind his back, and snorted coldly:

"Even at the gates of Chunqiu Mountain, he is merely a fifth-realm cultivator. How could I, a true disciple of the Daoist sect, not kill him!"

Outside the courtyard, after Jiang Zhi finished speaking, a brief silence fell.

After a few seconds, Chu Huaixu began to praise:
"Our grandmaster is truly domineering!"

Jiang Zhi, who was naturally arrogant, was extremely pleased, and even raised his chin slightly, but squeezed out a calm expression on his face.

After Xu Ziqing returned to the team, he didn't say much.

He simply said, "Let's go!"

The group boarded flying beasts and flew towards Spring and Autumn Mountain.

Wen Shiyu watched these cultivators from the Xuanhuang Realm from the side, secretly observing their behavior.

Regarding the so-called revenge, similar things often happen in Kunlun Grotto-heaven.

If you kill someone, then someone can naturally kill you in return.

Overall, Kunlun Grotto Heaven is extremely chaotic.

In a world where strength reigns supreme, order will inevitably collapse.

She had taken revenge herself, and she had also been targeted for revenge.

She was already used to this kind of thing.

But she could also sense that, although both sides were seeking revenge, something seemed different about the Taoist sect.

As an old monster who has lived for over a thousand years, she simply watched the spectacle with a detached, amused attitude.

The cultivators of Kunlun Grotto Heaven could not possibly be assimilated by the Xuanhuang Realm.

She was simply thinking, "This young man is only at the third realm of cultivation, how could he possibly kill his enemy with his own hands?"

After listening to their previous conversation, Wen Shiyu couldn't help but glance at the huge sword box.

"Could it be that the things inside are special?" she wondered.

In fact, Chu Huaixu was also thinking about this problem.

"Xiao Xu is only at the peak of the third realm. Even if he uses the evil sword, he probably won't be a match for a fifth-realm master."

When a cultivator reaches the fifth realm, it is as if they have been reborn; this is a qualitative change.

The world has never lacked geniuses who can cross borders to kill.

However, for someone in the fourth realm to kill someone in the fifth realm is as difficult as ascending to heaven!
Moreover, Xu Ziqing had just made a breakthrough last night, reaching the Great Perfection of the Third Realm.

Chu Huaixu glanced at the huge sword box.

He had always suspected that the seal on the evil sword was far more complex than he had imagined.

Otherwise, the Dao Ancestor would not have chosen a pseudo-spiritual embryo.

Even if he has a comprehension level of 10, he shouldn't act like this.

"The bronze sword should be able to unleash even greater power," he thought.

But since he and Xiao Xu had always been close, he still hoped to take a safe and steady approach.

In a great mood today, Jiang Zhi glanced at his two grand-disciples.

He smiled smugly and asked:
"Xu Ziqing, have you exchanged your cultivation techniques for the fourth realm, as well as the rare and precious materials to aid your cultivation, at the Treasure Pavilion in advance?"

Xiao Xu immediately replied respectfully, "Grandmaster, I received the reward when I returned to the sect. It was one of the sect's prizes for this competition."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi nodded slightly, then took out a medicine bottle, tossed it to the boy, and said:

"Take this pill, and then you can start cultivating. It will definitely allow you to enter the fourth realm in a short time."

"Grandmaster, this..."

"Just eat when I tell you to! Stop nagging!" Jiang Zhi glared at him.

He used to dislike Chu Huaixu and preferred Xiao Xu.

But now, he actually thinks that kid is more straightforward, even though his straightforwardness reveals a bit of shamelessness, it's still better than this kid being so indecisive!

After being scolded, the handsome young man shrank his neck slightly, then respectfully extended his hands to accept the pill.

"This disciple thanks Grandmaster for bestowing upon me this elixir." He spoke sincerely, though his voice trembled slightly.

He's not stupid, just a bit naive.

Then he was given a elixir, which made him realize that his master probably already knew who his enemy was.

Now that they've helped him break through his current level, their attitude is crystal clear.

The boy's eyes reddened slightly, but he felt it was too embarrassing, so he forced himself to hold it in.

He immediately sat down cross-legged, took out the rare and precious materials to aid his cultivation, refined them, and then swallowed the elixir in one gulp.

After the elixir entered the stomach, it instantly transformed into a warm current.

(P.S.: Six days on, one day off. I almost forgot to rest, I'm so damn diligent! I'll take a day off tomorrow, mwah!)
