Embers of Sword

Chapter 216 Lord Jiu (Thanks to Sister Lao Mian for being the leader)
Having said that.

But Qin Wanyang also kept a watchful eye.

He raised his head, his mind moved, and the cave between his eyebrows suddenly opened. In front of the disciples of Tai Shang Zhai and Qian Tian Palace, he released a flying sword.

The flying sword rose into the sky against the heavy snow, turned into a burst of fireworks at the top of the sky, and suddenly exploded.

"you……"

Qi Yu was stunned for a moment, then his face turned angry.

“Happiness shared with others is worse than happiness alone.”

Qin Wanyang's face was calm, and he said calmly: "Northern Hunting is a competition among heroes. If this secret realm is really a great fortune, and only these three can enjoy it...wouldn't it disappoint the other Taoist friends?"

The divine consciousness that exploded from the flying sword spread over a very wide area, covering several miles.

I am afraid.

The monks at the other end of Lanshan Hunting could all see it.

Obviously, this sword was sent out.

Whether it is Yuqingzhai, Wuzong, or other forces, they can all see the strange vision of this snow mountain.

Qin Wanyang's idea was very simple.

The depth of this secret realm before him was unknown. What if there was any danger? At least he was not the only one facing this danger!
Say it.

Qin Wanyang waved his sleeves and stepped directly into the secret realm!

……

……

"…Young Prince!"

The old man who was sitting cross-legged on the top of the Lilanshan formation sighed softly.

Venerable Hanshan has a very good relationship with the Qin family.

During this northern expedition, as one of the chief examiners of the ship, he can stay in the snow-capped mountains and protect these great Chu geniuses.

This secret place is extremely strange.

He wanted to persuade Qin Wanyang not to step in.

But after all, as the examiner, I cannot interfere with the choice of the Northern Hunters.

Venerable Hanshan could only watch Qin Wanyang enter the secret realm... For some reason, he had an ominous premonition in his heart. After the formation was formed, the range of Venerable Hanshan's spiritual perception expanded dozens of times, and the entire Lilan Mountain and Youyuan Mountain were covered.

But he vaguely felt that there was a powerful demonic force lurking outside the barrier.

"You Yuan."

Venerable Hanshan took out the token and spoke in a low voice.

He used his divine sense to contact Venerable Youyuan who was outside the formation.

The Jia Geng shipwreck alarmed the imperial city.

After Venerable Youyuan formed the formation, he rushed to the south of the snowy mountain to search for the wreckage of the Jiageng and investigate the crime scene.

"Have you found the wreckage of the Jia Geng?"

Venerable Hanshan's spiritual thoughts followed the token and leaped out.

The other side of the snow mountain.

You Yuan, dressed in black, was suspended in the air, feeling the vibration of the token in his palm.

"…The wreckage of the Jia Geng has been found."

You Yuan's expression was somewhat complicated.

What was before his eyes at this moment was not the Jia Geng, but a large ship with a charred and withered hull that looked like a long sword, slanting into the snow-capped mountains.

Countless black and red ashes were floating and scattered in the snow and wind.

The ship has become a wreck.

People also became debris.

All the monks on the Jia Geng were killed.

"Is Xie Zhen still alive?"

Hanshan spoke softly.

This question did not receive an answer from You Yuan.

Venerable You Yuan, who was suspended in the air, sighed and said, "The cultivators on the Jia Geng are still missing. It is still unclear who is still alive..."

Yuan Jimo's arrangement was really well calculated.

This ship is full of evil cultivators from Southern Xinjiang. If he kills Xie Zhen, he will have achieved his goal.

If he was killed by Xie Zhen, the matter would be over.

As the chief examiner, You Yuan couldn't continue to pursue the responsibility...

The entire ship was reduced to ashes.

How to investigate this identity?

"what?"

You Yuan narrowed her eyes.

He sensed a familiar breath and quickly fell to the wreckage of the Jia Geng.

This place had been burned by the Yuan Fire, and most of the soul auras had been cut off... But after the Yuan Fire burned, someone had come here and left behind the "Soul Mark" that was unique to the Imperial City Division. You Yuan, who had worked underground at the Imperial City Division, was very familiar with this kind of soul mark.

"The Green Falcon has been here."

He put away the command and carefully sensed the soul mark left on the wreckage.

This wisp of soul thought floated towards the north, pointing in a winding direction.

obviously.

Qing Falcon had expected that he would arrive at the Jia Geng...

Is this giving yourself "guidance"?
Following this soul thought, You Yuan immediately set off and flew towards the next location. Not long after, he arrived at the Ghost Ridge.

then.

He came to the place where Xie Zhen killed the assassins of Chiling City.

"There are traces of a great battle here, and... there is a strong demonic aura."

You Yuan's heart lake sensed a sense of danger for no reason.

He looked up.

A tall shadow suddenly appeared among the towering snow-capped mountains ahead.

The figure stood on the top of the snowy mountain.

A heavy snowstorm swept past, turning the sky and the earth pale.

The flowing wind and snow blew around the tall figure tightly.

"Wait, this is..."

You Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted.

"This is the Demon Country's Yin God Realm Venerable!"

He held the communication order tightly, and immediately wanted to send a message to Venerable Hanshan who was in the Lilanshan formation.

But the next moment.

The man standing on the top of the mountain had a golden light emitting from his eyes, and thunderous sounds were heard, arriving in an instant.

Sniff!
The golden light instantly pierced You Yuan's shoulder, and a burst of blood spurted out.

This scene happened in a flash of lightning.

You Yuan looked pale, covered his shoulders, and hurriedly flew towards Li Lanshan. However, the man's gaze was closely attached to him. The golden light shattered the snow and penetrated the earth, like a flying sword, biting You Yuan's body tightly. Even though the latter had turned into a black line, leaping very quickly in the wind and snow, he still could not escape the pursuit of this gaze!

"Kang!"

A high-pitched scream shook the heaven and earth.

You Yuan summoned his Dharma image without hesitation, a pitch-black falcon, and charged towards the tall figure on the top of the snowy mountain.

Until now.

The coldness that penetrated deep into the bone was slightly relieved.

You Yuan turned around and took a quick glance.

I saw him condensing the Dharma image of the great Dao and crashing into the snow-capped mountain. The tall figure covered in wind and snow just waved his sleeves casually.

The hawks are wailing.

The Dharma image is broken!

This scene is enough to break one's heart!

The strength of the two is completely not on the same level.

"This great demon is at a much higher level than me, at least in the late Yin God stage! It is very likely that he has already begun to 'question his heart' or 'ask the way'!"

You Yuan tried his best to fly towards Li Lanshan.

"Hanshan! Biluo!"

You Yuan sent out a divine thought: "There is a great Yin God monster in the Ghost Ridge! At least it is in the late Yin God stage!"

Inside the Li Lanshan formation.

The two ship inspectors received this order at the same time.

"what?"

The ominous premonition in Venerable Hanshan's heart was completely realized.

Two figures, one in front and one behind, turned into a long rainbow and rushed towards the direction of the Ghost Ridge.

"..."

The tall figure standing on the top of the snow-capped mountain waved his hand to smash the eagle image, and then did not make any further movements. He just stood there silently, watching You Yuan go away.

It seemed as if the attack was over.

But the next moment.

The tall figure suddenly took a step forward, and with just one step, he crossed a distance of several miles and instantly arrived behind You Yuan.

"laugh!"

The tall figure stretched out his hand and grabbed You Yuan. In the late Yin God stage, the Great Dao and the Cave Heaven merged to evolve into a world.

This catch.

You Yuan felt that the surrounding environment had changed.

The whole world became scorching hot.

It seemed as if there were no longer snow-capped mountains around.

Countless flames appeared out of nowhere and surrounded him.

A flaming palm crossed the wind and snow and landed on his shoulder.

"what……"

You Yuan looked painful and let out an angry howl.

Just one grab.

His realm of Tao was shattered!
Ten thousand degree high temperature penetrates directly into the skin.

Unless they are warriors or body cultivators, the vast majority of human practitioners will not deliberately train their bodies... After reaching the Yin Shen realm, the Dao realm will naturally cover the entire body, and there is no need to worry about being attacked.

But the collision of Dao realms is an extremely cruel thing.

"Ok?"

The tall figure let out a slight sound of surprise.

After this catch.

You Yuan's Dao realm was broken, and her skin was exposed.

Logically speaking.

Just one strike was enough to completely crush this human cultivator... But just as he was about to invade the latter's body with the Dao realm in his palm, he felt an extremely vast force!

This is a power from a higher level!

"The human race's Yang God left behind a protective divine thought for you?"

This moment.

The wind and snow broke, and the tall figure revealed his gloomy face.

The snow is very white.

His face was even paler, and pale.

Only a pair of eyes, blazing scarlet, burning like fire!

"Chiling City, Lord Jiu!"

A woman screamed in the distance.

Venerable Hanshan sits in the center of Lilan Mountain.

As for Venerable Biluo, he was stationed at the starting point of the cloud boat, not far from the Ghost Ridge.

This statement came out.

You Yuan looked ugly...

The Demon Kingdom has been divided among several great masters and has been very unstable in recent years.

The more war there is, the more powerful people will emerge!
Chiling City is a well-known powerful force in the Demon Country. If it were placed in the territory of the Da Chu Dynasty, it would definitely be a holy place on the same level as Qiantian Palace!

Prince Jiu is the most powerful Yin God in Chiling City!
the most important is.

Behind Chiling City, there is a Peacock Lord!

If it was just an encounter with a wandering cultivator from the Demon Country, it wouldn't be a big deal...it would just be an accident, a coincidence.

But now the situation is different!
The most powerful master in Chiling City is near Lanshan!
You Yuan looked pale. After taking a blow from Prince Jiu, she staggered back to the side of Venerable Biluo.

"You Yuan...are you okay?"

Biluo looked worried. She hurried forward to check the injuries and clean the body with her mind.

"No problem."

You Yuan let out a deep breath.

He touched his shoulder, where his clothes were burnt and shattered, revealing his bloody flesh and bones. The injury was not serious because Prince Jiu's Dao realm had not penetrated into it.

Over the years, he has been working for the Imperial City Bureau.

Fortunately.

He was noticed by Lord Wu Zexian and became a guest official of the inner sect of Emperor Wuzong.

Out of appreciation for his talent, Lord Wu Zexian gave him a magic talisman that could resist an attack at a critical moment.

This is a treasure given by a person at the top of the Yangshen Realm.

You Yuan wears it day and night.

now……

The divine talisman shattered and burned to ashes, protecting him from a fatal attack from the Dao realm.

"interesting."

Prince Jiu chuckled and said, "To be able to make the Sun God leave behind a divine talisman of protection... you have quite a background. It seems that I have stumbled upon a great secret of the human race."

The area near Arashiyama is usually very quiet.

Humans rarely come here.

now.

Not only did I encounter two Yin Gods.

Earlier, he had sensed the sword energy left by a human cultivator from the Cave Heaven Realm at the Wrathful Ghost Ridge...

Judging from the remaining aura of the Ghost Ridge.

It seemed that the Chiling City warriors under his command were not killed by Ao Ying.

Instead, they were all killed by a human swordsman!
These clues are connected together.

Prince Jiu has already vaguely guessed the truth.

"The human race is hunting north from Lanshan."

The corners of Prince Jiu's lips curled up slightly.

This sentence is not a question.

The snowy wind blew, and the boundless chill penetrated into the bone marrow.

The silence at this moment is a confirmation of Prince Jiu's words.

"very good……"

Prince Jiu nodded and said, "If the human race had a Yang God accompanying them, they would have appeared by now. You wouldn't waste your time talking to me. If I'm not mistaken, you should have already tried to send a message to the Great Chu Imperial City?"

"..."

Venerable You Yuan did not speak.

In fact, as soon as he encountered Prince Jiu, he sent an urgent divine message to the imperial city.

but.

The scary thing is.

The divine token seemed to be cut off by something.

Along the way.

Communications are all normal.

After the Jia Geng accident, the Imperial City Bureau also sent a request to entrust them with an investigation.

This is no coincidence.

"I'm sorry. This is not something I planned on purpose. It's just... it's just too coincidental."

Prince Jiu grinned, revealing his snow-white teeth: "I was chasing a remnant of the demon race and came here, and happened to see the human race's cloud ship."

What does it mean to see a cloud ship?
Reverend Biluo looked pale, and she also tried to take out the soul communication order, but her spiritual thoughts were cut off by heaven and earth.

The snow-capped mountains where they were were covered by a larger formation.

"Don't try to summon me."

Prince Jiu spoke softly, "I have set up a formation pattern outside of Lilan Mountain. I know that the human race's Yang Gods will still sense something unusual... but it doesn't matter. The Great Peacock is on his way."

This sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

It all happened so fast.

Hunting in the north, hunting in the north.

Between humans and demons, who is the prey and who is the hunter?
"Venerable Hanshan...how long will it take for him to arrive?"

You Yuan covered her shoulders and spoke expressionlessly.

Biluo was stunned.

She gritted her teeth and said, "What do you want to do?"

"This guy is at least at the 15th level of Yin God."

You Yuan took a deep breath and said seriously: "With our strength alone, we are certainly no match for him... But what if we add Han Shan, who is at the Seventeenth Realm, and the Royal Family's formation?"

"You...want to fight him head-on?"

Biluo knew very well what level Prince Jiu was at.

This kind of demon cultivator should be placed in Da Chu.

At least his strength is at the same level as that of the Taoist master.

“This is the only choice we have.”

You Yuan transmitted a message: "The situation is not as bad as you think. My 'Martial Emperor Divine Talisman' has been shattered. If Beishou Xueshan does not send back a message, Lord Wu Zexian will definitely notice it..."

These words are like a reassurance.

Reverend Biluo's expression improved slightly.

"Now, the most urgent task is to resist the attack from Lord Jiu."

You Yuan smiled with her eyebrows lowered, wiped the blood off her shoulder, and said softly: "As for the battle of the level of Peacock Great Venerable, don't think too much. Do your best and leave the rest to fate... We can only bet that the Yang God of Da Chu Imperial City will arrive first."
