Mortal: Fifteenth Realm Sword Cultivator
Chapter 12: Border Town
Although I know that some spells can make people stay in the air for a short time.
However, this kind of magic has little to do with the meaning of fighting or fleeing.
It's useless; it only allows you to float in the air, which isn't even a last-ditch effort when you're facing certain death.
Add to that the nonchalant air about this person that he had from beginning to end.
He didn't dare gamble on whether the other party was a Core Formation stage cultivator.
Although Yan Family Fortress is the number one family outside of the Seven Sects, it is precisely because it lacks a Nascent Soul stage cultivator to oversee it.
Lord Yan Yan is currently only at the mid-stage of Core Formation.
Although it is an existence that is unattainable for independent cultivators, it ultimately lacks the combat power of the Nascent Soul level, so it can only be called a family and cannot establish a sect.
Even now, facing a cultivator who is suspected to be at the Core Formation stage, even if there is a nine-tenths chance that he is an imposter, Yan Cheng does not dare to gamble.
Seeing the three people's reactions, Lu Jianghe remained silent, his figure transforming into a pale blue streak of light as he flew away into the northern horizon.
Until that streak of light completely merged into the clouds.
Yan Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, aside from being somewhat arrogant, we didn't utter any truly coercive or threatening words just now; otherwise, we'd probably be nothing but bones by now!"
Yan Zhi's pretty face paled slightly. "I didn't expect the other party to actually be a Core Formation stage cultivator."
The young cultivator stood silently to the side, not daring to utter a sound.
After all, it was his rash sending of the communication talisman that attracted Fifth Uncle and Second Miss, almost causing a major disaster.
Seeing his panicked appearance, Yan Cheng said in a gentle tone, "There's no need to blame yourself. This is a matter of my Yan Family Fortress. It's not your fault. We just didn't expect the other party to hide their cultivation level. Such a variable is unpredictable. Don't worry, the fortress will not punish you for this."
These words finally eased the young cultivator's tension somewhat, and he quickly bowed, saying, "Thank you for your understanding, Fifth Uncle!"
Yan Cheng nodded slightly and said, "We must report today's matter to the Fortress Master as soon as possible."
The two-headed geese seemed to understand, letting out a low cry and flapping their wings to change direction.
As for why Lu Jianghe didn't kill him, logically speaking, killing him would be the safest option.
Unfortunately, he was no ordinary cultivator. He was a great sword immortal who had been stationed on the Great Wall of Sword Qi for hundreds of years, and he had his own set of principles for doing things.
For human cultivators, as long as it doesn't involve life or death...
He doesn't usually act rashly and kill his opponent.
The Yan family fortress was merely trying to recruit him, without showing any murderous intent. As far as Lu Jianghe was concerned, such minor coercion was not a crime punishable by death.
But that doesn't mean he's a soft-hearted person.
Even though Lu Jianghe knew that Xiao Xun's betrayal would lead to the emergence of the Sword Qi Great Wall, he still wanted to do something, even though he knew he couldn't change the overall situation.
For example, to make the regret less unbearable.
As soon as Zhu'an and Luoshan made any unusual moves, he drew his sword first without warning.
Two cultivators at the Jade Purity Realm faced a sword cultivator at the Immortal Realm. In a single exchange, their heads were severed, their hearts destroyed, and their souls were ground to dust by the sword energy, leaving them with no possibility of reincarnation.
He was met with Xiao Xun's provocative gesture of raising his middle finger.
After killing Zhu'an and Luoshan, Lu Jianghe coldly replied, "I have no comment on the fact that demons can become hidden officials, after all, it was the decision of the eldest sword immortal. But as native sword cultivators, if they want to rebel and surrender to the barbaric world, they will only face death."
Unexpected events followed one after another.
One moment he was shocked by the serious injury of his comrades-in-arms by the Hidden Official, the next moment, Lu Jianghe showed no mercy to his former comrades-in-arms with his sword.
His decisiveness and ruthlessness in killing far exceeded everyone's expectations.
However, not everyone can understand this resolute decision.
Some voices expressed doubt and confusion.
Zhu'an and Luoshan are merely wavering in their thoughts and showing unusual behavior; they haven't truly taken that step yet.
Was such a drastic measure too imprudent? Was it perhaps a bit too cruel?
Doubts quietly spread along the Sword Qi Great Wall.
But Lu Jianghe didn't even lift an eyelid at these comments.
Blood stained his robe sleeves, and the sword's edge remained icy cold.
Heading north, Lu Jianghe soon arrived at a border town within the territory of the Tianxing Sect of the Yuanwu Kingdom.
Xin Ruyin and Qi Yunxiao are key figures in the restoration of the ancient teleportation array.
In the next few years, all we need to do is wait here for Han Li to establish contact with them.
He had no intention of actively seeking out the two people.
It is sufficient to confirm the approximate area of activity and the location of their base of operations for these two individuals.
As things stand, Han Li will inevitably cross paths with Qi Yunxiao and Xin Ruyin here.
Once Han Li has finished repairing the ancient teleportation array, Lu Jianghe will naturally have a way to travel to the Chaotic Star Sea via it.
The following years.
Lu Jianghe then settled down in this border town of Yuanwu Kingdom.
He rented an inconspicuous little house facing the street, just like he had in Tainan Valley.
Besides selling some low-level talismans that I draw in exchange for the necessary spirit stones.
He devoted almost all his energy to two things.
First, it continuously absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to open up the alchemy chamber.
Secondly, they began to purposefully collect various rare and precious materials containing the pure essence of the five elements.
"Morning Dew" was a divine weapon-grade defensive treasure that he had painstakingly crafted over nearly three hundred years, using countless resources he had acquired by slaying demons at the Great Wall of Sword Qi.
Although its rank dropped to the level of a half-immortal soldier due to its reversal of the river of time in this world, its essential foundation remains.
After undergoing a complete "refinement," he will no longer need to be distracted by the search for defensive magical artifacts, whether in the human realm or the spirit realm.
Even if I were to go to the immortal realm one day, it would definitely be enough to keep me company.
What he saved during this period was the countless hours spent searching for, competing for, and refining new magic weapons, which was of great significance to him.
The main reason is actually...
Lu Jianghe's natal flying sword could not be tempered in the early stages and could only be nurtured.
Otherwise, he would never have considered a robe.
I wouldn't even think about it.
For a sword cultivator, their natal flying sword is not only a matter of cultivating one's life and spirit, but also the foundation of their Great Dao and the source of their killing power.
As dusk fell, most of the attic shops had already closed their doors to customers.
Only Lu Jianghe's little shop still gleamed with light.
The righteous and the demonic paths are currently clashing, creating a tense and stalemate.
For the sake of safety, most cultivators generally do not wander around at night unless there is something urgent to attend to.
Inside, Lu Jianghe was holding a book that introduced the basic formations of the Five Elements.
The main reason he chose to come to Yuanwu Kingdom, where Tianxing Sect was located, was Xin Ruyin.
In addition, I also want to understand the mysteries and differences of various formations in the human world.
Admittedly, with sword light escape techniques, it is enough to ignore or even forcibly tear apart most of the mountain and water formations and restrictions.
However, calamities often accumulate from seemingly insignificant things, and even more so from the hearts of the people.
To sum it up in one sentence.
Calamities often accumulate from the smallest negligence, and wisdom and courage are often succumbed to what one is addicted to.
The most subtle and profound aspects of the Dao are those related to life and destiny.
Once a person becomes arrogant, they will inevitably neglect other things.
A slight misstep could lead to a major setback.
Without such meticulous planning, Lu Jianghe would never have survived the series of assassinations and battles in the desolate world.
