Chapter 211 His Mother! (Subscribe)
The holy land of sword cultivation in the world?

Ji Xingyun frowned slightly when he heard the excited shouts of dozens of sword cultivators outside the violent land shrouded by sword intent.

He glanced around, and everywhere he looked were mountains and gullies created by lines of murderous sword intent.

The most powerful place is the bottomless pit that spans a hundred feet next to the corpse of "Black Impermanence" Liao Wei.

The murderous sword intent inside was dazzling silver-white, almost condensed into a solid stream of light like water. Tiny swords swam along the edge of the pit, as if guarding the place.

Seeing this, Ji Xingyun waved his hand thoughtfully.

A golden flag officer flashed to his side and bowed, "Sir, what do you want?"

Ji Xingyun pondered and said, "Go and report this grand occasion to His Majesty and see if we should set up a checkpoint here to manage the sword cultivators who will arrive later."

Jin Qiling was stunned for a moment: "Sir, are you saying... to fence off this place and make it a forbidden area?"

Ji Xingyun glanced at him and said, "The land of the world belongs to His Majesty. Especially a holy place like this that is conducive to sword cultivation, naturally not everyone can come here to cultivate."

"I think if we can set up a checkpoint here, the sword cultivators coming and going can go to the appropriate place according to their cultivation level."

"But there is nothing free in the world, and different amounts of money should be charged from the outside to the inside."

"For example, in the inner circle, one hour requires not only one thousand yuan, but also approval from the court, or meritorious service to our Night Watch Division..."

The more Ji Xingyun talked about it, the more feasible it seemed to him, and a hint of excitement appeared on his face.

Most of the people in their Night Watch Department are supported by the court. The talents and skills of the people in the department cannot be compared with those of the disciples of the sect’s holy land.

If he could make use of this holy land for sword cultivation, he could "use the holy land to threaten the sect" and make life easier for the night watchmen in various prefectures.

In this way, not only can a considerable amount of money be provided to the court, but the power of the night watch departments in various provinces can also be strengthened.

Jin Qi Ling, who was standing by, understood what he heard but was also dumbfounded.

To set up a checkpoint and collect money, do you need a permit or provide free assistance to the Night Watch?

The director is truly worthy of his title. His business acumen is probably unmatched by any ordinary businessman, right?
Black-hearted!

"Sir, I think this method is very good, and His Majesty will definitely agree!"

"but……"

"But what? Don't hesitate!"

"Sir, this place was left by Lord Yingwu after all, and it contains all his magical powers and sword intentions. If the court collects money here, should we give it to... him?"

Ji Xingyun was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and looked at the Golden Banner Order in front of him with approval:
"You are right. This place was founded by Lord Yingwu, so he should be given a share of the profits."

"But I think Lord Yingwu would not care about these. Hmm... we can ask His Majesty to share the profits with the Chen family!"

Ji Xingyun touched his chin, and his eyes became brighter.

If I could use this to win over the Chen family, or befriend the young marquis...

Thinking of this, he immediately decided to go to the imperial city in person to report to the emperor.

Such a "big event" not only involved the court, but also Wu Hou Chen. It was no longer something that he, the director of the Night Watch, could decide arbitrarily.

"Quickly bury the corpse of 'Black Impermanence' and follow me into the palace to see the Emperor!"

After all the Night Watch chiefs and flag officers left, only a few gold and silver flag officers stayed behind to guard this "holy land".

All the sword practitioners around couldn't help but spit in hatred and curse.

"You son of a bitch Ji Xingyun!"

"He is a human being too?"

"He even thought of setting up checkpoints to collect money. He has a black heart!"

"Aren't these court lackeys always like this? Damn it, if the court really sets up a checkpoint here, I... will definitely pay for it!"

"..."

Several sword practitioners who had already achieved great success in the way of the sword looked at each other. Although they were indignant in their hearts, they could only accept it helplessly.

"It would be great if they could become members of the Chen family. I think they should be able to come and go freely here..."

Even though they had a lot of resentment in their hearts, this place was truly a rare holy land for sword practitioners.

And the higher the realm, the more one can feel the power of the murderous sword intent here.

If I could practice in seclusion here all year round...

Even if they have not comprehended the murderous sword intent of the "Little Sword Immortal", the terrifying power of the sword intent alone can stimulate the growth of their own sword intent.

At that time, they could not imagine how far their sword skills could develop.

"Before the imperial court issues an edict, we should hurry up and practice!"

"Also, don't forget to send a message to your family and clan, asking them to prepare all the money and treasures to shut up those sons of bitches in the Night Watch!"

The smart sword cultivators have already returned to Kyoto Prefecture and sent messages to their families and sects as quickly as possible.

The Sword Cultivation Holy Land has appeared, come quickly!!
……

Not to mention the group of excited sword practitioners.

After seeing the bloody fight last night, many noble families and common people in Kyoto Prefecture had a new understanding of martial arts.

I originally thought that the Grandmaster realm was the limit of the Tianyuan Continent, and the fighting would at most affect one county or one city.

Now they believe that there are several people in the Wei Dynasty who can destroy the state government on their own.

Such terrifying power frightened not only the common people, but even the nobles from aristocratic families were a little scared.

Especially the few noble families who wanted to show their power to Chen Yi, they felt mixed emotions at this moment, and were mostly afraid.

At this moment, deep inside a house in Kangpingfang.

Dozens of people dressed in gorgeous clothes sat together with solemn expressions.

The leader had an old face, with neatly combed gray hair. He was holding a heater in his hands, but his face was as rosy and shiny as that of a baby.

He glanced around and said in a serious tone:
"The young marquis has become powerful and cannot be resisted by human power. We still need to make long-term plans."

A middle-aged man in a cream-colored scholar's gown asked, "Master Tong, what are you going to do?"

"When I think of the previous rumors, I feel a little nervous, for fear that the young marquis will find out..."

Elder Tong sighed: "Alas... For now, I'm afraid we can only go to the young marquis' house to apologize and seek forgiveness."

"I'm not afraid of coming to you to apologize. It's just a loss of face. But... do you know what caused the fight last night?"

"Oh? If you have anything to say, Master Tong, just speak up."

"Yeah, now we're all on the same page, so don't hide anything you have to say."

"The servant just reported that the Zhao family of Fengtong Street is finished!"

"Ah? The Zhao family? Minister of Rites Zhao Ruixiang, what happened to them?!"

"Zhao Ruixiang is dead. His body was found in the Zhao family cellar. His skin had been peeled off. It was said that it was done by the 'Black Impermanence'."

"At the same time, many people in the Zhao family have been bewitched and have been taken away by the Night Watch."

Hearing this, everyone took a breath, looked at each other, and their expressions became more solemn.

"In that case, it makes sense that the 'Black Impermanence' attacked in Fengtong Street last night."

"That's right! The young marquis must have discovered that the big demon king was hiding in the Zhao family, so he took action to kill it!"

Elder Tong listened to everyone speaking, and asked hesitantly, "Is this all you can think of?"

"Tong Lao, why do you say that?"

"Please speak clearly, Master Tong!"

Elder Tong shook his head helplessly and said, "What I am worried about is that because we have joined forces with the Zhao family before, the young marquis will think that we are also involved with the demons."

"..."

Just one sentence, exploded in everyone's heart like thunder.

"No, it won't, right?"

"We are just spreading some rumors, just to let him know that martial arts is not everything in Kyoto Prefecture."

"But Elder Tong's worries are not without reason. If the young marquis really connects us with the Zhao family, I'm afraid..."

At this point, the noble families who had been living in Kyoto for many years were already filled with fear.

They knew very well that during the Wei Dynasty, there had been many changes in the coming and going of noble families in Kyoto Prefecture, but the only family that had experienced few changes was the Wu Hou family.

In addition to the heavy responsibility they shoulder, they also have a family tradition of passing down martial arts and do not like to beat around the bush.

But if they find out someone is causing trouble behind the scenes, they will never let him go easily, and many of them will even resort to violent fights.

As a result, many similar incidents occurred in the history of the Wei Dynasty, and most of the noble families who caused trouble ended up miserably.

"I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now!"

"I will also return to my family first. Please forgive me!"

They are all smart people. Since they cannot win, they will not only be responsible for the previous rumors, but also have to withstand the possible "wrath of thunder".

Old Tong did not stop them. He was silently thinking about how to apologize and what kind of treasure he should take out to ask for forgiveness from the Chen family and Earl Yingwu.

Just then, a servant in blue clothes ran over in a hurry.

"Master, the court has issued an order!"

"What decree?"

"Just now, the emperor summoned all the ministers and praised the meritorious service of Chen Yi, the Earl of Yingwu, in killing the demon court's 'Black Impermanence', and issued an edict..."

The servant took a breath, looked at the nobles with different expressions, swallowed his saliva and said:
"Issue an edict to confer the title of Marquis Yingwu on Chen Yi!"

……

Fengtong Street, the residence of the Chen family, Marquis of Wu'an.

Liu Gao, along with two eunuchs from the Forbidden Palace and two teams of black-armored guards, rushed to the Chen family with great fanfare.

Chen Taihang's heart moved, and he guessed that the purpose of Eunuch Liu's visit must be related to Chen Yi's killing of "Black Impermanence" last night.

"Eunuch Liu, what does the emperor want to reward Yi'er this time?"

Liu Gao waved his hand with a big smile on his face and said, "Please forgive me, Brother Chen, I can't tell you now. I can only announce it after everyone in the palace is here."

Chen Taihang blinked his eyes, looked at the imperial edict in his hand, then looked at the things covered with golden cloth held by the two eunuchs behind him, and nodded:
"I will go and ask the old lady now."

"Is the young marquis here?" Liu Gao asked.

Chen Taihang paused and said, "Yier hasn't returned yet. I don't know where he went. If Eunuch Liu needs him to be there, I'm afraid I don't know how long I have to wait..."

"No, no need!"

Liu Gao shook his head repeatedly and said, "Young Marquis, the matter is important. The emperor specifically told us to take the decree to the Chen family."

Not long after, everyone in the Chen family gathered in the central hall.

The old lady sat at the top, with the other leaders of the side branches sitting on her left and right. Next to her was Zhou Wanyi, who had not been seen for a long time.

Everyone felt a little excited when they saw the people coming from the imperial city who had received rewards far exceeding the previous ones.

Chen Yi has made great contributions this time, and I am afraid that the emperor will reward him well.

Without waiting for the Chen family to speak, Liu Gao immediately unfolded the imperial edict and read:

"Today, Chen Yi, the son of Wu'an Marquis Chen Taiping, killed Liao Wei, the pillar of the Demon Court, 'Black Impermanence', outside the capital..."

"Appoint Chen Yi, Earl of Yingwu, as Marquis of Yingwu. I decree this!"

The old lady opened her eyes wide when she heard this. Her expression was no longer as calm as before. She looked at Liu Gao with a little excitement:

"Hou, Hou, Yingwu Hou... Yi'er? Is it true?"

The rest of the people were equally shocked. Marquis Yingwu, this is the first time this has happened since the founding of the Wei Dynasty.

You should know that for thousands of years, the Wei Dynasty has always had eight military marquises, no more and no less.

Now, their Chen family actually has two marquises.

No, if we count Jingye Hou, who succeeded Chen Yuan, there will be three of them!

Liu Gao smiled and handed the imperial edict to Old Madam Chen, saying, "Old Madam, this matter is the emperor's golden words, we dare not falsely convey the imperial edict."

"But there is one thing I must explain."

"Although Yingwu Hou is a marquisate, it is not hereditary, and he does not have to take on the responsibility of guarding the border and building the army."

"But the emperor has also instructed that Marquis Yingwu can enter and leave the imperial palace freely from now on, and can carry weapons when he meets the emperor."

"And, there is this..."

Liu Gao waved behind him and a eunuch handed him the tray.

"This is a contract. It's the title deed to the place where Marquis Yingwu and 'Black Impermanence' fought last night!" The old lady was a little disappointed, but still asked happily, "Did the emperor award that place to Yier?"

"Old lady, you don't know that the place has now become the 'Holy Land of Sword Cultivators'. It was written by the emperor himself, and a monument will be erected there soon."

Liu Gao shook his head and said, "This land deed is only 50% of what's there. In the future, the court will set up checkpoints there to collect money."

Chen Taihang opened his mouth and asked in surprise: "In other words, Yi'er will get 50% of the profits?"

Liu Gao smiled and nodded: "Not only the money, but also all other benefits will belong to Yingwu Hou."

As he spoke, he also gave a veiled reminder: "If the Chen family has a child with the talent for sword cultivation in the future, that place will be a treasure land."

"Perhaps, Marquis Yingwu can also establish a sword sect here. I dare not imagine what you will do then..."

How powerful your Chen family should be!
Hearing this, the expressions of the Chen family elders became more and more excited, and they couldn't wait to see such a scene appear.

"Good, good, good!"

The old lady said three good words in a row, and said with great satisfaction: "Yier's glory is the glory of my Chen family!"

"Taihang, tell them to prepare incense and offerings. I will go and tell our ancestors!"

Liu Gao quickly stopped her and added, "Madam, please wait. We have something else to do."

"Eunuch Liu, please speak."

"In a few days, I will bring people to plan the construction of Yingwu Marquis's Mansion and all the necessary things. Please ask the old lady to tell the young marquis."

As he spoke, Liu Gao waved his hand and placed the last tray on the table.

"But I have already brought the young marquis's robes, along with his badge and seal, from the palace. Please pass them on to the old lady."

"it is good!"

The old lady looked at the purple robe, as well as the seal and waist badge made of black jade on the table, and her smile became even more intense.

When they got here, Liu Gao stood up and said, "Old Madam and everyone else, please stay. We still have to go to Jingye Marquis's Mansion, so we won't stay too long."

"..."

After Liu Gao and others left, the Chen family members were happy, but there was also some complicated expressions on their faces.

Chen Taihang glanced at Zhou Wanyi and Chen Fan intentionally or unintentionally, and said with a bow:
"Grandma, Yi'er's matter is easy to deal with. We will celebrate after he comes back."

"But Yuan'er... today he is hosting a banquet at Jingye Marquis's Mansion, and the invitation has been sent to us. Take a look..."

The old lady's smile faded, she looked at everyone present, her eyes fell on Zhou Wanyi and said:

"Wanyi, what is your decision on this matter?"

"I'll leave everything to Grandma."

Zhou Wanyi lowered her eyelids and spoke in an unchanging tone, as if Chen Yuan was a stranger who was not her offspring.

But in addition to the string of Buddhist beads in her hand, there was a small wooden sword the size of a palm that was faintly shining.

The old lady looked at her for a long while, then nodded and said, "Taiping has already known about Yuan'er's succession to the title of Marquis of Jingye, and he has written to say that he agrees."

"Taihang, prepare some gifts for them later. Don't let others think that our Chen family is impolite!"

Chen Taihang nodded and was about to turn around and leave, but he paused and listened for a moment, his face showing a little excitement.

"Uncle, you don't need to go to Jingye Marquis Zhou's Mansion. I will go there myself later!"

"Also, please ask my second uncle to send the robe, waist badge and seal to the Kyoto Academy. I'll be waiting for you here!"

Yier?!
After Chen Taihang heard this, he hurriedly picked up the tray on the table and saluted hastily:

"Grandma, Yi'er asked me to deliver the robes. He, he is currently in Kyoto Academy!"

"Yier, he also said that he would go to Jingye Marquis Mansion in person!"

Hearing this, everyone who was about to leave was stunned.

The old lady thought for a moment after hearing this, then stood up with her cane and said, "Hurry up and send it to Yi'er, don't delay his business!"

"Yes!"

Chen Taihang took the order and left.

The entire hall was silent, and everyone's eyes turned to Zhou Wanyi who was standing beside them.

Seeing this, the old lady waved her hand to signal them to disperse first, and looked at Zhou Wanyi with cloudy eyes:

"If you have nothing to do, come with me to the ancestral hall for a chat."

Zhou Wanyi paused as she folded her Buddhist beads, then slowly stood up and saluted:
"Grandma, Wanyi is well prepared."

……

Inside the Kyoto Academy, Chen Yi stood on top of a school building deep inside, calmly gazing at Fengtong Street in the distance.

"The little wooden sword is in Zhou Wanyi's hand..."

After talking with the great master, Chen Yi has been standing here, with sword intent covering the entire Kyoto Prefecture.

Not only did he learn that a group of martial artists went to the place to fight and that it had become a "holy land for sword cultivation", he also heard that the emperor had conferred the title of Marquis Yingwu on him.

And through the perception of sword intent, he also realized that his small wooden sword appeared in Chen's mansion.

With the help of the small wooden sword, Chen Yi saw Liu Gao proclaiming the decree, as well as the reactions of the Chen family.

"A banquet... hehe."

Chen Yi didn't care about the title of Marquis Yingwu, nor did he care about the so-called "holy land of sword cultivation". These were nothing more than the emperor's gesture of goodwill towards him.

What he cares about is that Chen Yuan has succeeded Marquis Jingye!

At this time, the accompanying gentleman said with a smile:
"Now that my friend has been conferred the title of Marquis Yingwu by His Majesty, I cannot call you 'young marquis' any more."

"Lord Chen, have you thought about it?"

Chen Yi still looked down at Kyoto Prefecture, looking at the taller and more majestic imperial palace in the distance, and asked without turning his head:
"If I don't agree, will His Majesty stop all plans?"

The master shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The matter of the 'Eagle' has been a secret of the Wei Dynasty for hundreds of years."

"Even if His Majesty gives up this time, the imperial court will still be threatened in the future, and your Chen family will be the first to bear the brunt of it."

At this point, he paused for a moment and said, "With Lord Chen's current level of cultivation, he is indeed not afraid of any threats."

"But I know that you won't stay in Tianyuan Continent forever."

"Once you go to Mount Taizhou and leave your mark on the 'Heaven and Earth Bridge', those 'Eagles' hiding in the dark will have nothing to worry about."

"By that time, you, the Chen family, and even everyone in the Taixu Dao Sect may suffer a disaster."

A moment of silence.

Chen Yi's eyes were slightly cold, and he asked in a slightly cold tone: "So does Chen Yuan know about 'Eagle'?"

The master was startled, and thought: "Chen Yuan went to the Zuo Xiangfu before, maybe Xie Jing will reveal something to him."

Chen Yi turned his head to look at him: "Left Prime Minister? Does he also know about the emperor's plan?"

The Master did not answer directly, but said:

"As I just said, for more than thirty years, 'Eagle' has been balancing the civil officials and the military officials."

"Xie Jing is the most important chess piece. With his wisdom, even if he doesn't know the emperor's plan, he will do something tacitly."

Chen Yi said without comment: "So, now Chen Yuan and I are the other pawns in the hands of His Majesty."

Mr. Da shook his head and said with a smile: "Maybe Chen Yuan would be, but you are not."

"With Lord Chen's current level of cultivation, no one dares to treat you as a pawn anymore. At least no one dares to do so now that you are in Tianyuan Continent."

"Otherwise, His Majesty would not have allowed me to come and persuade him."

Chen Yi nodded slightly, turned his head to look at the Kyoto Academy, and remained silent.

Don't know how long it has been.

A faint voice was heard outside the school building where Chen Yi was.

Several students in Confucian robes gathered together, looking at the young man in the middle with slightly excited expressions.

"Your Chen family is very powerful now. Apart from your father Chen Taiping, Chen Yuan succeeded to the title of Marquis of Jingye, and Chen Yi was canonized as Marquis of Yingwu..."

"Perhaps in the near future, Chen Fan, you will take over the position of Marquis Wu'an!"

Chen Fan?

Chen Yi looked down at the young men below, his eyes falling on the young man in the middle.

Mr. Da also heard their conversation, took a look and said:

"Chen Fan's talent is not outstanding. He is only in the middle of the class in Kyoto Academy, but he has a kind heart."

"It would be a good thing if he takes over the position of Marquis Wu'an in the future."

Chen Yi didn't say anything, just watched quietly how Chen Fan answered.

"Take over the position of Marquis Wu'an?"

Chen Fan looked at the eyes of his classmates and shook his head calmly, "I'm still a long way from here."

"How could that be? With the power of your Chen family, even if your cultivation level is lower in the future, there won't be any trouble."

"That's right. Yesterday, your second brother killed the Black Impermanence with his sword. His swordplay and his posture were like the sword immortal from a storybook."

"The demons in the Demon Court are tired of living, so they headed south to attack the pass."

"..."

Chen Fan still shook his head, signaling them to stop talking.

"The position of Wu Hou is related to the safety of Beixiong Pass, and it is not to be taken lightly. Even if my father wants me to take it, I will not agree."

He is self-aware.

Not to mention the gap in cultivation between him and Chen Yi, even his elder brother Chen Yuan is not comparable to him.

But as soon as Chen Fan finished speaking, several young men who were walking over from a distance said sarcastically:
"You say that, but who knows what you're thinking?"

Hearing this, another young man also echoed:

"Now that your elder brother and second brother cannot succeed to the position of Marquis of Wu'an, you are the only one left."

"Perhaps you are already very happy now."

Chen Fan was so angry that his face turned red. Even though he had studied for many years and had some self-cultivation, he was still furious at these words.

"I believe that I cannot compare with my two elder brothers, and I do not have the ability to succeed the position of Marquis Wu. How dare I have such wishful thinking?"

"It sounds nice, but who knows?"

Several young men looked at him with laughter: "Chen Fan, wanting to succeed the position of Wu Hou is not a bad thing, just admit it."

"He's so angry, isn't it because we said what he was thinking?"

"That's right, that's what he calls 'getting angry out of shame' haha..."

Chen Fan was so angry that he was shaking all over: "You...you shut up! A real man should behave uprightly! I, I am speaking from the heart!"

"..."

The master's face looked a little unnatural. He looked at Chen Yi's face and said:
"Lord Chen, they are still young and immature, so their nonsense should not be taken seriously..."

If Chen Yi hadn't been here, he could have calmly ordered people to give these people a light punishment.

But unfortunately, Chen Yi was right beside him...

At this moment, even the most cultured scholar would have the urge to curse.

Chen Yi glanced at him and said calmly, "I agree with what we discussed earlier."

The teacher felt relieved when he saw that he did not mention those students.

"That's good. I will inform His Majesty later. You..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Chen Yi take a step forward and float down.

At the same time, a cold voice came:
"When did our Chen family fall to the point where outsiders can discuss matters related to the inheritance of Wu Hou?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, the great master smiled bitterly and looked at Chen Yi who had already landed in front of several young students.

Damn...

It’s his mother’s fault!
