sword!
Jianchou's heart skipped a beat and he almost subconsciously turned around to look at him. However, due to his eye injury, he could only see a vague outline of him and could not make out the expression on his face.
The traitor from Yashan said he would take her to draw her sword...
All the doubts that had been brought all the way from Tomorrow's Star Sea finally emerged at this moment. From Qu Zhengfeng's initiative to volunteer to join her in a surprise attack on the Snow Region, to deliberately avoiding Zen Buddhism after the Snow Region was completed and going with her, and saying that this trip would not go to the East Ghost Gate, but back to Yashan.
These are already very suspicious, not to mention the attitude of Fudaoshan people.
Even though he is unreliable, he is an elder who enforces the law and his word is final. However, he seemed to be indifferent to the matter from beginning to end, but in fact, not intervening or asking questions was tantamount to acquiescence!
The war between the Yin and Yang worlds has restarted. Don’t these elders in Yashan, who are almost as smart as humans, really have no thoughts or plans of their own
after all…
Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of ropes for ten years.
Thinking like this, Jianchou did not express any objection to Qu Zhengfeng's words. Instead, he vaguely sensed something and said calmly, "Most of the weapons in the arsenal are swords. It's good to be able to draw a sword, but if you can't, it's also okay to form a bond with other magic weapons. Now I'm not obsessed with the sword itself."
After hearing this, Qu Zhengfeng sneered: "Isn't it because you can't get it?"
it.
Just this one word made Jianchou suddenly feel a chill down his spine!
In the huge Yashan arsenal, there is no other sword that has some connection with her and can be mentioned by Qu Zhengfeng at this moment except that one!
At this moment, she finally reacted and understood what Qu Zhengfeng meant by what he had said earlier.
For a moment, I was unable to respond.
Qu Zhengfeng just rode his sword forward, his black gold robe fluttering, and said calmly: "How can a disciple of Yashan draw a sword without a sword?"
Jianchou suddenly recalled the old days at Yashan, on the sword-drawing stage, when his fourth junior brother Shen Ju drew his sword against Qu Zhengfeng because of a disagreement, and was then taught a lesson thoroughly.
That was the first time she had a clear understanding of Yashan.
Her heart was actually becoming a little difficult to calm down. She flew in the air beside him and said, "I still remember that when His Majesty the Sword Emperor was still in Yashan, it was always others who drew their swords on you, and you rarely drew your sword on others. No matter how you looked at it, you didn't seem like someone who drew swords. I didn't expect that now, you would take this so seriously..."
Once the past is mentioned, memories come flooding back.
Qu Zhengfeng was silent for a moment, and his usually clear and elegant features were now adorned with a hint of deep and sharp arrogance.
"When the sword is really drawn, who will mention the word 'draw the sword'?"
A true sword-drawing master would only draw the sword and not speak.
He didn't know how much Jianchou could understand or realize, and he didn't seem to care what she thought. After saying this, he seemed to have lost interest in talking and just flew forward on his sword.
It is inevitable to frown when seeing sorrow.
However, her current relationship with Qu Zhengfeng was somewhat awkward. Even if she had something to say, it was not convenient to say it at the moment. So she kept silent and just walked forward.
The two returned to Yashan together.
The two groups of monks from Yashan and Xinghai who followed them didn't understand why they didn't go to Xinghai through the teleportation array after arriving at Yashan, but they all remained silent. Although they were confused, they didn't ask questions and just followed the arrangements.
The monk from Yashan returned to Yashan.
Originally, Tomorrow Star Sea was full of desperate criminals, but now that the war between Yin and Yang realms has been restarted, all cultivators participating in the war are fellow cultivators, and there are no longer any original sects. Even the biggest grudges have been put aside, so they accepted Jianchou's invitation and temporarily stopped at Yashan to rest.
A solitary peak thousands of feet high stands on the bank of Jiutou River.
The tomb of a thousand cultivators passed by underfoot.
Jianchou and Qu Zhengfeng passed through the mountain protection formation at the same time and landed on top of Lingzhao. Almost at the moment when they landed, a gray shadow came "whoosh" and landed on Jianchou's shoulder like a lightning bolt.
"Woo, woo, woo!"
It was a familiar call.
Jianchou felt a weight on her shoulders. When she turned around, she saw the little mink barking happily twice, opening its mouth, sticking out its tongue, and trying to come up to lick her.
Fortunately, she was quick and poked it on the head with a finger, thus stopping it from smearing her with saliva.
The little mink's tail suddenly drooped down.
The soft, plump paws began to wave in anger, accusing her: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"Okay, stop messing around, I have something else to do."
After all, she had raised it for decades, so how could Jianchou not know its character? As soon as she heard the high pitch of its cry, she knew it was scolding her, so she smiled helplessly and didn't care.
Looking up, I saw the unusually long-lived white goose still swimming in the Guihe Well.
On its back covered with snow-white feathers, little Bone Jade was lying lazily, with his eyes closed and his mouth open, sleeping soundly.
When the sun shines, it reveals a rare bit of warmth.
The people on Yashan had received the news from Jianchou long ago and knew that the cultivators from Mingri Xinghai would also enter the mountain gate, so they were not surprised to see them falling behind.
But when the person walked up, Jianchou was surprised.
Because the person who appeared in front of her was no one else but Qi Boyuan, the elder of Yashan who had gone to the Star Sea earlier and should have attacked the Polar Region with the cultivators of the Nineteen Continents!
"Big sister, His Majesty the Sword Emperor."
Qi Boyuan had an exceptionally serious face. He was the father of Qi Changfeng, a disciple of Yashan who had some interactions with Jianchou in the past. His cultivation had already reached the middle stage of the out-of-body realm.
He came up to the two of them and bowed to greet them.
There were also some disciples of Yashan around Lingzhao Peak, and some of Yashan's disciples in the cave on the mountain wall, who noticed the movement of hundreds of cultivators returning to Yashan and stood out to watch.
But many people did not expect to see Qu Zhengfeng.
He should have been the person they were most familiar with, a disciple of Yashan. But at this moment, he had a look of indifference on his face, and stood beside Master Jianchou like a well-behaved outsider.
complex.
There is also an unspeakable vicissitude hidden...
No one could describe the feeling in their heart at this moment, not even Elder Qi Boyuan who had been in Yashan for hundreds of years. It was just that he had a profound cultivation and was a serious person, so he concealed the complexity in his heart very well.
Jianchou looked at him and returned the greeting, but thinking of the fact that he was actually here, he couldn't help but frowned and asked doubtfully: "Why is the elder still in the mountain gate at this time?"
"Uncle Fudao and the headmaster asked me to come back. They said they wanted to leave someone to look after the rear and to be prepared for any emergency. They just said that if the senior sister has any instructions, I will obey."
Obviously, Qi Boyuan also had doubts.
It is really puzzling that at such a critical moment as the outbreak of war, instead of transferring people up, they were sent back.
It would have been better if Jianchou hadn't listened, but as soon as he heard it, he felt the same fear as before.
The more times like this happen, the more you can feel that there is something fishy going on.
But Qi Boyuan said this, obviously he didn't know more, so she just continued to ask: "Then I wonder what the situation is at the Dongji Ghost Gate now?"
"When the senior sister launched a surprise attack on the Snow Region, Master Hengxu and Master Fudao simultaneously ordered an attack on the Ghost Gate of the East Pole, and by dawn, the Ghost Gate had been forcibly opened. Two hours ago, Master Fudao led the way, and the leading cultivators had already entered the Ghost Gate. At present, the life cards are intact, and their lives should be safe. However, the specific situation inside is unknown because of the temporary inconvenience of communication between the Yin and Yang worlds."
Qi Boyuan explained carefully and told the truth.
This progress was within expectations and there was nothing to be surprised about. Qu Zhengfeng just glanced at the high mountain wall, completely unaware of the eyes of those around him, with an indifferent expression.
Jianchou's frown did not relax.
She had been to the polar regions and knew how dangerous they were, so she couldn't be completely at ease.
After hearing about the overall situation, she asked Qi Boyuan more details. Not only did she learn about the situation at Dongji Guimen, but she also learned about the situation at Tomorrow Star Sea when Qu Zhengfeng was not around, showing a rather foolproof attitude.
Finally, he also instructed Qi Boyuan to take care of the Xinghai monks who were staying there.
As soon as Qi Boyuan left, Qu Zhengfeng laughed, "The ruler of Xinghai is standing with you, but you still want to ask about the situation in Xinghai. Are you really not afraid that I will be suspicious?"
"If I don't ask, you won't be suspicious, right?" Jianchou turned around and looked at him, thinking of Kunwu Hengxu Zhenren who took over the overall situation of Mingri Xinghai after Qu Zhengfeng left. He said meaningfully, "People who should be suspicious will be suspicious no matter what. Why should I care about what others think?"
"Finally, she looks like a senior sister..."
Qu Zhengfeng looked at her for a moment, his eyes as deep as the sea, but he didn't reveal any emotion, and it was hard to tell whether he was praising her or mocking her. Then he withdrew his gaze and turned into a stream of light, soaring into the air and heading southeast.
Only his calm voice remained in the air: "Let's go and get the sword."
Looking at his direction, Jianchou knew where he was going. After hesitating for a moment, he finally followed him.
Dozens of miles of mountains and rivers passed by in a moment.
When Jianchou landed on the sloping platform on the high mountain, Qu Zhengfeng had already drawn the Haiguang Sword and slashed it. The sword energy, surging like a wave, shook the basin surrounded by mountains, cut out a huge crack, and huge stone pillars rose up during the shaking, supporting the magnificent arsenal of Yashan.
The situation and scene are just the same as they were back then.
She stood behind him and could only see Qu Zhengfeng's back, the corner of his robe fluttering in the wind, and the majestic shadow of the Hai Guang Sword.
So he sighed a little, "In these decades, I never thought that I would be able to stand here with Senior Brother Qu and split the armory..."
