Zhu Xian: The way of heaven collapses, and I only have one sword!

Chapter 94 Ten years later, father and son meet for the first time!
Since Chen Qiye had asked Zhou Yixian and Xiaohuan to leave the Death Swamp, they had been walking eastward for three days. Zhou Yixian came across a dilapidated stone pavilion. Feeling tired, he turned to Xiaohuan and said, "Let's go over there and rest."

Xiao Huan responded, then looked at the Wild Dog Taoist who was following behind, with a smile in her eyes, and said with a smile: "Master Taoist, let's go and have a rest together."

The Wild Dog Taoist who had been following behind them hesitated for a moment and nodded. After all, he was protecting the two of them because of Chen Qiye's order.

The next second, the three of them saw Ji Zai, or rather, Chen Qiye, flying in from the sky. The three people in the stone pavilion were startled and turned to look. Wild Dog Taoist's body trembled violently, while Xiao Huan, who was standing next to him, suddenly had bright eyes and smiled, "Big Brother, are you back?"

"It's me, Chen Qiye, I'm back." Chen Qiye said with a smile.

After hearing Chen Qiye's name, Wild Dog Taoist raised his head slightly and said hesitantly, "Deputy Sect Leader?"

"Don't test me. Ji Zai and Chen Qiye are actually the same person. The previous Ji Zai was just evolved from evil thoughts." Chen Qiye waved his hand and said.

"Big brother, hug me!" Xiaohuan's crisp voice echoed in the stone pavilion. Her eyes were full of intimacy as she ran directly towards Chen Qiye.

"You are still the same as you were back then, the little girl who loves to eat candied haws." Chen Qiye smiled and opened his arms, caught Xiaohuan steadily, and gently touched her head.

Zhou Yixian stroked his beard, a complicated look flashing in his eyes, and said, "Do you have something important to tell me when you come here?"

"That day in the Dead Swamp, a fishman attacked your Xiaohuan. Do you still remember?" Chen Qiye nodded.

Zhou Yixian was startled, and the Wild Dog Taoist next to him and Xiaohuan in Chen Qiye's arms were also stunned when they heard it.

Xiao Huan, who was hugging Chen Qiye's waist, looked up and said, "That monster was so ferocious. If Brother Qiye hadn't intervened in time, I would have been killed by it."

Chen Qiye nodded and said, "I remember you said that the monster was a murloc, one of the sixty-three alien races in Southern Xinjiang. I wonder what else you know about this murloc tribe?"

Zhou Yixian glanced at Chen Qiye and said, "Why are you suddenly interested in this?"

"After you left, my men were ambushed by that monster and suffered heavy casualties." Chen Qiye nodded slightly and said.

Zhou Yixian pondered for a moment and said, "Qiye, did those people die in horrific ways? Most of their bodies were chopped into several pieces, a horrible sight?"

Chen Qiye nodded slightly.

Zhou Yixian nodded and said, "That's for sure. It must have been the work of the Murlocs. They've always been cruel and murderous, and they believe that by chopping up a corpse, they can also shatter the soul, eliminating future trouble. But I remember that the main road between the Middle-earth and the Southern Border's Hundred Thousand Mountains is guarded by Fenxiang Valley. Logically, no alien race should have come through."

"It seems that something happened in Fenxiang Valley. Girl, this is for you." Chen Qiye nodded and then took out the Liuhe Mirror from his arms.

Xiao Huan took the Liuhe Mirror, her face full of curiosity. She looked left and right. The ancient texture on the mirror's surface shone with a strange luster in the sunlight. She couldn't help but ask, "Brother Qiye, what is this?"

"The old man must know." Chen Qiye looked at Zhou Yixian meaningfully and said.

Zhou Yixian looked at the Liuhe Mirror that Chen Qiye handed over, his eyes fixed. His hand stroking his beard paused, and he slowly said, "This Liuhe Mirror has a great history. It was originally a rare treasure of the Qingyun Sect. It is rumored to be able to reflect all attacks. It is extremely powerful."

"I have left a lot of cultivation in there. As long as the opponent's cultivation is not higher than mine, no one can break the defense of the Liuhe Mirror. The little girl calls me big brother, so as a big brother, I can't be stingy. Just consider it as a guarantee for the girl. Remember to keep it close to you." Chen Qiye stretched out his hand and rubbed Xiaohuan's hair and said.

Xiao Huan held the Liuhe Mirror tightly and said crisply, "Thank you, Brother Qiye. I will definitely keep it well!"

Zhou Yixian watched this scene and sighed slightly: "Qiye, you are really too caring towards Xiaohuan. But this Liuhe Mirror is a treasure of Qingyun Sect. You gave it to Xiaohuan so easily. It's really too caring. But this Liuhe Mirror is a treasure of Qingyun Sect. You gave it to Xiaohuan so easily. Aren't you afraid of causing trouble?"

Chen Qiye looked calm, his eyes gazing into the distance: "This Liuhe Mirror is just a magic weapon in my hands, but it can keep Xiaohuan safe when it's with her. Besides, since I've given it to her, I'm not afraid of any trouble."

Wild Dog Taoist had been listening silently, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Deputy Sect Leader, what should we do next? Should we go to Fenxiang Valley to investigate?"

"Just follow the old man and the little girl. For the safety of Yu Yangzi and the others, I'll give you the Yin-Yang Wild Dog." Chen Qiye shook his head and stretched out his hand to give the Yin-Yang Mirror that he had obtained after killing Yu Yangzi not long ago to the wild dog.

Taoist Wild Dog took the Yin-Yang Mirror with both hands, feeling a warm sensation in his hands. He couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement and gratitude. He knelt on one knee and said solemnly, "Deputy Sect Leader, don't worry. I'm here to ensure that the old man and Miss Xiaohuan come to no harm!"

Chen Qiye nodded slightly, turned his gaze to Zhou Yixian, and said, "Old man, the situation is unclear right now. The foreign tribes in southern Xinjiang are making unusual movements. Try to avoid trouble spots. If you encounter danger, use this Yin-Yang Mirror to send a message to me."

Zhou Yixian stroked his beard and nodded solemnly: "Qi Ye, you should also be careful."

Chen Qiye nodded, and then a purple light appeared under his body. He flew into the air and disappeared into the sky in a short while. Looking at the direction he left, it was obviously Qingyun Sect.

Along the way, the wind howled, and his thoughts drifted back to his days in the Qingyun Sect. Now, he brought down the Dao Demon Tribulation in the name of Heaven. His status was different, but his feelings for the Qingyun Sect remained unchanged. Before long, Qingyun Mountain, home to the Qingyun Sect, came into view.

"Ten years have passed...Ten years have passed, and it seems that Qingyun Sect has developed even better..."

Chen Qiye landed at the foot of Qingyun Mountain and looked up at the mist-shrouded mountain gate. The once innocent boy now bore the name of Heaven's Way. The vicissitudes of life had transformed his mind. He walked up the mountain step by step, each step steady and powerful.

Soon they arrived at Qingyun Square. The nine massive bronze tripods were still there, exactly as they had been ten years ago. However, things had changed, and the people and things he had improved upon were still functioning. His improved Zhuxian Sword Formation was still in operation, and its power hadn't diminished over time, but had only grown stronger. "Has the Zhuxian Sword Formation been improved?" Chen Qiye muttered to himself.

Chen Qiye stood for a long time in Qingyun Square, filled with emotion. Meanwhile, on Xiaozhu Peak, a young man was intently practicing swordplay. He stood tall and straight, his features bearing a striking resemblance to Chen Qiye. It was Chen Sui'an.

Chen Sui'an sheathed his sword, beads of sweat on his forehead, but his eyes were filled with determination. Just as he was about to return to his room to rest, he suddenly felt a familiar and powerful aura coming from the direction of Qingyun Square.

At the same moment, Lu Xueqi quietly came up behind Chen Sui'an, her eyes gently falling on his tall figure. A gentle breeze blew past, ruffling her clothes and hair. She stood there quietly, as if time had stood still for this moment.

"Good morning." Lu Xueqi called softly, her voice full of a mother's love and tenderness.

Chen Sui'an turned around quickly when he heard the voice. Seeing that it was his mother, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he saluted quickly: "Mother."

Lu Xueqi walked forward, raised her hand and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said softly: "You must be tired from practicing swordsmanship, take a rest."

Chen Sui'an smiled and shook his head, but his eyes unconsciously looked towards the direction of Qingyun Square, wondering: "Mother, I just felt an extremely powerful aura, then..."

Lu Xueqi was slightly startled, a complicated look flashing in her eyes. She sighed softly, pulled Chen Sui'an to sit on a stone bench nearby, and said slowly: "Sui'an, your father...is back."

"Daddy?" Chen Sui'an's eyes suddenly widened, his eyes full of shock and disbelief, as well as a hint of joy that he couldn't hide.

From childhood to adulthood, he grew up under the care of his mother and his uncles. Although he had never seen his father, the brave and extraordinary father described by his mother has always been his idol and pride.

Lu Xueqi looked at her son's reaction, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart, yet also a little relieved. She nodded and said softly, "Yes, he is in Qingyun Square now."

Chen Sui'an stood up suddenly and said anxiously, "Mother, I want to see Father, right now!"

Lu Xueqi looked at her son's eager expression, smiled and nodded, took his hand, and said, "Okay, Mommy will take you there."

Mother and son transformed into two streams of light and flew towards Qingyun Square. Soon, they landed on the square. Chen Qiye was looking up at the Zhuxian Sword Formation, his aura calm and powerful.

Chen Sui'an came up behind Chen Qiye, feeling a bit lost for a moment. He stared at the tall figure before him, and the stories he'd heard from his mother about his father flooded his mind. He opened his mouth, but his throat was dry and he couldn't make a sound.

Lu Xueqi gently pushed Chen Sui'an, her eyes full of encouragement: "Go, that's your father."

Chen Sui'an took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to shout, "Daddy!" His voice, with the unique clarity of a teenager, echoed over the square.

Chen Qiye's body trembled, and he slowly turned around. When his eyes fell on Chen Sui'an, they instantly filled with endless tenderness and kindness. He carefully examined the young man before him. His familiar features, his upright posture, all confirmed to him that this was his and Lu Xueqi's child.

"Sui'an..." Chen Qiye muttered his son's name, his eyes slightly red. He took two steps forward, squatted down, and looked Chen Sui'an in the eye.

Chen Sui'an looked at his father so close, and the tension and strangeness in his heart disappeared at that moment. He suddenly threw himself into Chen Qiye's arms, his voice choked with sobs: "Dad, I miss you so much."

Chen Qiye hugged Chen Sui'an tightly, as if he was holding the most precious treasure in the world, his heart filled with guilt. "Sui'an, Daddy misses you too. You and Mom have suffered so much over the years."

Lu Xueqi stood aside, her eyes moist, but her face was filled with a happy smile. She had waited for this moment for too long.

Chen Sui'an raised his head from Chen Qiye's arms, his eyes gleaming with curiosity and admiration. "Dad, I heard from Mom that you are very powerful, a rare strong man in the world, and you have created many magical skills. Is that true?"

Chen Qiye looked at his son's eyes full of expectation, smiled and nodded, "Of course it's true." After that, he raised his hand gently, and a cold light slowly emerged from his palm. It was the Nine Heavens Divine Weapon Autumn Water Without Trace.

"Sui An, this Qiu Shui Wuhen, today daddy will give it to you."

Chen Sui'an widened his eyes, his eyes full of surprise. He carefully took the Qiu Shui Wuhen Sword. It felt cold in his hand, and the sword body trembled slightly, as if responding to its new owner.

"Dad, this... this is so precious." Chen Sui'an raised his head, with a hint of disbelief in his voice.

Chen Qiye gently touched Chen Sui'an's head and said with a smile, "Silly child, you are Daddy's son. Is there anything more precious than you in this world? This Qiu Shui Wuhen has been with Daddy for many years. Now it should have a new mission."

Lu Xueqi walked forward and looked at the father and son, her eyes full of tenderness. "Sui'an, you must cherish this sword your father gave you."

Chen Suian nodded seriously, holding Qiu Shui Wuhen tightly with both hands, feeling the power coming from the sword, as if he was holding his father's expectations and inheritance.

"Dad, I will definitely practice sword skills well and live up to your and mother's expectations." Chen Sui'an looked at Chen Qiye, as if making a lifelong promise to him.

While the three were talking, Zhang Xiaofan, Lin Jingyu, Zeng Shushu and others also came from various peaks. They saw the warm scene of Chen Qiye reuniting with Lu Xueqi and Chen Suian from afar. Their pace unconsciously slowed down, their eyes full of relief and emotion.
