Embers of Sword

Chapter 90 The flying sword of destiny
The Po Lu swayed in the river tide and swept towards the golden pillar of light that stood like a sword.

Poseidon, who was sitting sideways at the bow, narrowed his eyes.

The glow of the Ruyi Order, intertwined with the golden light, fell on his body, like adding a new piece of clothing.

As the glass of wine goes down my stomach, warmth rises.

I don’t know when.

He had arrived at the "Zhi Dao Bookstore". The horizontal jade desk in front of him turned into a long table. Countless books were flying around, and sitting opposite him was a noble Confucian scholar shrouded in golden light.

The surging waves are no longer there.

Chu Lin supported his chin with his hand, looking around with drunken eyes.

Countless golden threads surrounded him.

It also surrounds this library.

"Is this 'destiny'?"

The voice of King You Hai echoed in the library, and the golden threads were vibrated by the sound and trembled continuously.

"Your Majesty."

Chen Jingxuan picked up a cup of tea and took a sip. "Heaven's will... is just the name given to certain causes and effects by the inheritors of the library. All living things are like ants, and heaven's will is like clouds. The distance between them cannot be made up by a library."

King You Hai was distracted for a moment as he looked at the golden threads.

He murmured, "So, what defeated me?"

"Book building, Taoist sect, or... fortune."

Chen Jingxuan put down the teacup and said calmly: "Even without me, without Miss Tang, and without any resistance, you are doomed to fail."

King You Hai was stunned.

The man sitting opposite him held out his palm.

One of them was in Qingzhou and the other in the imperial city, thousands of miles apart.

But at this moment, it was only three feet apart.

The "Golden Thread of Destiny" that was wandering in the library and seemed to be quiet like a guitar string suddenly erupted, and the roar it emitted almost caused the entire Ruyiling spiritual secret realm to collapse!

The pupils of You Haiwang contracted.

He looked at the gray-haired, thin scholar, who was holding tens of thousands of gold threads in one hand!
When these golden threads come together, they really look like swords!
Countless brilliant lights burst out simultaneously——

The mighty and rolling golden light instantly submerged him.

King You Hai stretched out his arms and tried to resist, but failed as he was overwhelmed by the soul power bursting out from the Golden Thread of Destiny.

Here he saw a side of Chen Jingxuan, who was once hailed as "the peerless twins", that had never been revealed to the world.

The scholar stood up.

His clothes fluttered and his sleeves waved.

The frosty white temples were then rendered golden.

The dark pupils are like the scorching sun.

"Even if you really ascend to Yangshen, what can you do?"

Chen Jingxuan looked down at King You Hai.

this moment.

Chu Lin, who specialized in the way of the soul, felt unprecedented suppression.

He looked at the Confucian scholar in front of him in disbelief… The entire imperial city knew that Chen Jingxuan was gentle by nature, had a very good temper, and could not bear to kill.

But who has ever seen Chen Jingxuan's face like this?
The next moment, countless golden lights dissipated.

The young scholar sat down again, still looking aloof with his flying hair, but now he became approachable and friendly again.

Chen Jingxuan personally poured a cup of tea for Chu Lin.

You Haiwang stood in front of the table in a daze, not knowing what to say.

"There is no [Daobi Pen] in Beihailing. Even if there is one and you get it, you can't kill her."

Chen Jingxuan shook his head and said, "What you want to do is doomed to fail from the beginning..."

You Haiwang's mind went blank.

"Don't you understand? Apart from the 800-mile ban on Qingzhou, the Imperial City has not made any further moves."

Chen Jingxuan said: "Perhaps in her eyes, she hopes that your 'Blood Refining' will be successful."

Chu Lin was dazed and confused.

He couldn't understand what Chen Jingxuan said.

The young imperial teacher shook his head and did not explain much.

None of this matters anymore.

This time, Chu Lin wanted to "lose clearly" by borrowing the Ruyi Order to meet Chen Jingxuan.

These words from the young national teacher.

It did resolve some of the knot in his heart.

But he still had something to say.

"I can not be reconciled……"

Chu Lin looked at Chen Jingxuan and gritted his teeth and said, "You know Da Chu's situation better than anyone else, and you care about Da Chu more than anyone else. Why don't you do anything?"

Chen Jingxuan just remained silent.

"Your Majesty, Jingxuan knows himself... There are some things you can do, and some things you can't do."

The scholar raised the teacup, raised the cup slowly, and said: "There is no point in saying more. At least now, you can still keep your dignity."

Drink this one up.

The golden glow of the Zhidao Book Building began to flicker.

The scene around Poseidon began to change.

“Decent…”

“Decent…”

Chu Lin stretched out his hand, he broke away from the illusory dream and returned to reality. He immediately grabbed the jar of wine and drank it down with his back facing up.

The wine flowed everywhere, soaking the python robe.

King You Hai threw out the Ruyi Order and laughed out loud.

The Tongtian vine boat swayed with the waves, and Tang Fengshu reached out to catch the token.

next moment.

The Taoist master of Tianxia Zhai suddenly frowned. Tang Fengshu took a step forward and swung out his whisk. Thousands of silver threads fell like waterfalls and stretched out in front of the wooden boat, like a silver screen!
boom! ! !
The ship Pulu, which was falling into the North Sea along with the rolling river tide, suddenly emitted a loud and earth-shaking roar.

King You Hai ignited his vitality and soul.

A peak Yin God chose to end his life by self-destructing—

The iron ship exploded.

Ten thousand tons of river water were blown away.

Ye Qinglian and Jiang Qihu were both shocked. They looked in the direction of the explosion with disbelief. The entire world on the river became blurred at this moment! The silver screen that Tang Fengshu had opened in advance suffered a severe impact, and most of the silver wire of the whisk was torn off. Even with such an obstruction, the Tongtian Vine still suffered a considerable degree of damage!
Ye Qinglian coughed up a mouthful of blood.

This violent explosion tore the Po Lu apart directly from the inside, creating a "vacuum" within a mile radius where the ship was located.

The water flows backwards, like an inverted bowl.

"The King of the Sea... blew himself up?"

Jiang Qihu looked pale.

This scene was so shocking that he never expected things to develop in this way.

"……Um."

Tang Fengshu stared silently in the direction where the wreckage of the Po Lu sank.

She knew what kind of person You Haiwang was.

But this self-destruction.

It was indeed unexpected.

Ye Qinglian was a little dazed: "The dignified King of Qingzhou died just like that?"

"It is better to die than to live in vain."

Tang Fengshu shook his head and said, "Chu Lin knows that if he doesn't die, I will abolish his cultivation and take him to the Imperial City... What he will face next is the humiliation of the Imperial City Department."

Jiang Qihu looked gloomy.

Indeed...if he was sent to the imperial city, with Chu Lin's personality, it would be better for him to die.

The Qingzhou Rebellion was destined to have this outcome from the very beginning.

Regardless of success or failure, Chu Lin will die.

"Since the great disaster has not yet happened, the great chaos has not yet begun."

The female host sighed: "Dying like this may not be a bad ending."

……

……

The shadow that had shrouded the Dao-seeking Realm for a thousand years was shattered by a ray of destiny.

Xie Xuanyi looked at the large pieces of falling rocks above his head——

On the night of the conversation with Ruyi Ling, he and Chen Jingxuan reached a "consensus"... After the outer formation of Bai Ze Secret Realm was broken, he would provide Chen Jingxuan with the position of the center of the formation.

Today, Beihai Mausoleum is beginning to collapse.

This also means that the library's destiny has successfully shattered the center of the formation.

Xie Xuanyi fulfilled his promise.

He took a step forward, stretched out his hand and grasped [Chen Xia], his natal flying sword that had been dim for ten years, at this moment it began to glow.

Xie Xuanyi looked somewhat distressed.

For ten whole years, [Chen Yan] was trapped in Beihai Mausoleum.

The Dao rules left behind by the Dao Pen locked the flying sword tightly.

Rust appeared on the surface of the flying sword, and most importantly... there were several cracks on the sword body.

The ten years when I was “dead”.

[Chen Yan] must try every possible means to break the formation and leave the North Sea.

Unfortunately.

It cannot compete with the principles left by the [Dao Pen].

Xie Xuanyi stretched out his fingers and gently wiped the flying sword. He listened to the sword sound which was not as crisp as before, and carefully put it away.

"If you work hard, God will not let you down."

A familiar voice sounded from behind.

Xie Xuanyi narrowed his eyes.

There is no need to turn around to know who is coming.

"Brother Xuanyi, congratulations."

Lu Yuzhen smiled and bowed, saying, "It will be just around the corner for me to obtain my natal flying sword and return to the realm of sword immortal."

These words are sincere and there is no trace of falsehood in them.

As the saying goes, don’t hit the smiling person.

But the person who came was Lu Yuzhen.

Xie Xuanyi, who had been holding back his anger, turned around and summoned his flying sword without saying a word!
[Chronic Illness] shatters the darkness and draws a long silver line!
The next moment, a clear sound of metal and iron burst out from the Dao-seeking Realm—

"珰!!!"

The flying sword turned back and hovered above Xie Xuanyi's shoulder.

[Chronic Illness] Even if it is rusted or cracked, it still exudes a breathtaking edge!
"Hey, hey, hey...don't break it."

The white-haired Taoist stroked the small red stove in front of him with great concern.

Xie Xuanyi frowned.

Taoist furnace!

After resisting Chen Yan's sword, several red Dao patterns floating on the surface of the Dao furnace were shattered... But as Lu Yuzhen reached out and touched it, the Dao patterns recovered.

"Fortunately, there was no damage."

Lu Yuzhen checked the small furnace, breathed a sigh of relief, and said jokingly: "I almost forgot, Xie Xuanyi, you are not a half-step Yang God now, but just an ordinary foundation. After getting your natal flying sword, you should not kill people, right? If you want to use the sword against me, you should at least reshape the sword energy cave."

"..."

Xie Xuanyi had no expression on his face. He ignored Lu Yuzhen and spoke directly to the Daolu: "Daojiu!"

The furnace did not respond.

"Stop reading it."

Lu Yuzhen sighed and said, "If you really cared about it, why didn't you just take it away?"

Xie Xuanyi took a deep breath.

"This [Dao Furnace] has not yet recognized its master. It is just blocked by my 'Dao Rule'. It is very simple for you to meet Dao Jiu."

Lu Yuzhen said calmly: "You only need to swear with your soul that after taking away the [Dao Furnace], you will not use the Sword Washing Pool to cleanse the Dao Nine Souls. Lu will immediately unlock the Dao Rule blockade."

Xie Xuanyi fell silent.

He could not make such a promise.

The birth of [Daolu] must be accompanied by blood refining——

The only way of compromise he could think of was to use the Sword Washing Pool to change the nature of the [Dao Furnace]!
"Look. Brother Daojiu, I didn't lie to you."

Lu Yuzhen smiled and patted the stove. "It's better to follow me than to follow Xie Zhen."

"..."

Xie Xuanyi stared coldly at the white-haired Taoist priest in front of him: "You have waited until now in Lichao City, it can't be just for a [Daoist furnace], right?"

"certainly……"

"will not."

Lu Yuzhen said calmly: "Brother Xuanyi, you underestimate me. A [Dao Furnace] is not worth this much. Even if Brother Xuanyi wants it now, just call me 'Dao Master Lu' respectfully, and I will give it to you immediately."

Master Lu?
Xie Xuanyi sneered: "Don't even think about it."

Lu Yuzhen shrugged and said with a little regret: "That's a pity, Brother Daojiu, it seems that you can only leave with me."

After that, there was a pause.

"But there is a second possibility."

Lu Yuzhen smiled and said, "Xie Xuanyi, why don't you come with me?"

Xie Xuanyi looked at the man in front of him.

He really couldn't understand Lu Yuzhen's train of thought.

"After you get your natal flying sword back, there are only a few places you can go."

"Return to Dasui Sword Palace, return to Lotus Peak?"

"Why not follow me and be free and at ease..."

Lu Yuzhen said sincerely, "Come with me, and I promise that you will return to your peak state. Within three to five years, you will be able to use the head of the Yinshan White Ghost as a chamber pot."

"I can get back to the top without your guarantee."

Xie Xuanyi said coldly: "Why don't you tell me, Master Lu, what exactly are you trying to achieve in this game in Lichao City?"

Although the title of "Master Lu" contained a hint of sarcasm.

But Lu Yuzhen was overjoyed and felt very happy.

"Tsk, no problem, no problem—"

He pointed at the collapsing ceiling and said, "Brother Xuanyi, do you know why Beihailing went from Eclipse Lake all the way south to Lichao City?"

Xie Xuanyi has already discovered most of the secrets of Beihai Mausoleum, and now only this last one is left.

Xie Xuanyi frowned.

The sound of thunder continued to burst out.

It doesn't sound like the sound of the tide, nor does it sound like the sound of the secret tomb formation.

It sounded more like... some living creature's painful howling.

"The sword strike from 'Destiny' just now was very painful."

Lu Yuzhen said sympathetically: "Luckily I fed you all a meal in advance... otherwise how could you have lasted until now?"

Xie Xuanyi was stunned.

big guy?
He suddenly remembered the words on the Bai Ze stone wall. To be more precise -

It’s those two words, big turtle!

"In the past ten years, the fortunes of the Great Chu nation have declined, its vitality has withered, and the Northern County is even more miserable."

Lu Yuzhen said softly, "At the junction of Lichao River and Beihai, there lies such a big creature, greedy and ate everything. The great fortune that the sky monitors in the imperial city had worked so hard to obtain was all eaten up... In this way, how can the fortune of Da Chu improve?"

"Although Chen Jingxuan has outstanding talent, he is young and will die young after all."

Lu Yuzhen sighed and said pretentiously: "If I really kill the giant turtle, not only will my luck not benefit me, but it may be completely blocked. I don't have any extraordinary abilities, but I only have a little compassion."

"..."

These words made Xie Xuanyi fall into complete silence.

Boom!
Maybe God couldn't stand Lu Yuzhen's words.

On the top of Beihai Mausoleum, a huge rock fell without warning and landed in front of Lu Yuzhen.

The white-haired Taoist priest raised his head and glanced with lingering fear.

He calmed down a lot and said calmly: "I used a drop of the immortal spring to save the life of the giant turtle. From now on, the big guy will leave here and hide back in the North Sea."

"From today on, the great fortune of the Chu nation that has been accumulated for ten years will burst forth in one day. This will be a great era that will only last for a thousand years."

Lu Yuzhen said seriously: "Just as I said when we first met..."

"Brother Xuanyi."

"The tide is coming."
