Qin Shi: I went astray in the Heavenly Sect

Chapter 34 A Handy Sword, War Breaks Out Again

Baiyun Mountain
Flying Tiger Village
The mountain stronghold was quiet, with only three figures still standing in front of the main hall. Xiaomeng looked at Chen Xiuyuan, raised an eyebrow, and asked softly, "What should we do with this person? Kill her?"

Chen Xiuyuan's gaze flickered slightly.

After a moment of silence, he replied, "No, she will be a good sword."

Xiaomeng was slightly taken aback when she heard this answer.

A handy sword?

Is this referring to the Jingni sword in the other person's hand? Or is it referring to the person themselves?
The girl, who was still frozen in mid-air, her eyes widening slightly upon hearing these words.

sword?
For her, this seemed like a good answer, because at least she wouldn't die. But from another perspective, it was also an answer she didn't really want, because this answer meant that she would still have to pick up the sword in her hand and become the sword of a new master.

Chen Xiuyuan reached out and tapped Jing Ni's chest, sending a new internal force, a fusion of the strengths of Wan Chuan Qiu Shui and Xin Ruo Zhi Shui, into her heart.

His previous actions, which seemed incredibly skillful, were actually nothing more than him using the Autumn Water of Ten Thousand Rivers to control the flow of blood in the people around him.

From the perspective of the Dao, things have no inherent value or worth.

Blood is mostly composed of water, and as water, it can be controlled by countless rivers. When a person's blood stops flowing, the heart naturally stops functioning.

Then you will feel dizzy, and your brain cells will begin to die irreversibly. This process may not take long, especially if you are deliberately controlling it.

The internal energy now injected into Jing Ni's body is a brand new internal energy formed by fusing the two internal energies, Wan Chuan Qiu Shui and Xin Ruo Zhi Shui, and it contains all the advantages of the two internal energies.

When not activated, this internal energy is very stable and has no effect on a person. However, once activated, it will instantly freeze the blood in a person's body, and the outcome will be predetermined.

After Chen Xiuyuan withdrew the color from the world, Jingni lost her footing and fell to the ground. Recalling Chen Xiuyuan's actions earlier, she couldn't help but raise her head and look at him.

At this moment, her gaze became extremely complicated as she looked at Chen Xiuyuan. She murmured, "What did you do to me?"

Chen Xiuyuan was somewhat surprised by Jing Ni's composure, but when he realized that she was Jing Ni, he nodded. If a top assassin in the Luo Wang didn't have this kind of composure, then his reputation would be undeserved.

"I can let you feel a bit of internal energy."

It was only a moment, perhaps less than a second, but Jing Ni's expression was quite interesting. As a martial artist at the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm, her control over her body could be said to have reached an extremely profound level.

In that fleeting moment, her blood seemed to freeze, and she swore it was the closest she had ever come to death.

"The Net will not let me go."

After remaining silent for a long time, Jingni suddenly spoke.

Hearing what she said, Chen Xiuyuan glanced at her and then continued, "That Jingni will have a new owner, and it won't be you."

Jingni frowned upon hearing this.

The young man in front of her gave her the feeling that he knew what would happen in the future. That kind of inquisitiveness, as if he could see through the years, could make her heart skip a beat.

“Who is it??”

Chen Xiuyuan stood still, raised his head, and looked up at the sky. This answer might not be available for another ten years, or even longer.

"A woman."

It's unclear what happened to the Jingni Sword, but it seems that most of its past owners were women.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiuyuan reached out and grabbed the Jingni Sword, one of the Eight Swords of Yue King, which had fallen to the ground, and it flew into his hand as if a swallow had returned to its nest.

Chen Xiuyuan joined two fingers together and gently stroked the blade of the Jingni Sword. A pure sword intent erupted from the Jingni Sword, but was suppressed by Chen Xiuyuan in the blink of an eye.

"What an absolute deadly weapon!"

Standing behind Chen Xiuyuan, Jing Ni looked at the fleeting sword intent with a complicated expression. As the wielder of the Jing Ni Sword, she naturally knew how terrifying this sword was.

If an ordinary person wears it for a long time, their mind will probably be taken over by the sword, and they will eventually become a slave to the sword, controlled by it, and become a madman who only knows how to kill.

But what surprised her even more was not the Jingni Sword, but the young man beside her. The incredibly powerful will he exuded felt like the might of heaven, capable of suppressing everything with a mere flick of his wrist.

The other person was the first person she had ever met who had suppressed the killing intent of the Jingni Sword with his own willpower.

"Then what should I do?"

Chen Xiuyuan then tossed the Jingni sword in his hand over, and then slowly said, "Don't worry, someone will come to you to retrieve this Jingni sword. At that time, you can fake your death and escape from the world, and come to the Heavenly Sect to find me."

Jing Ni's eyes flickered. She wasn't sure whether what she was talking about in the future was real or not, so she asked again, "What about the time before that?"

"Stay in the Net and carry out your mission. If you encounter any difficulties, you can send me a message." Jing Ni blinked, still finding it somewhat unbelievable. So, Chen Xiuyuan was planning to release her?!

Aren't you afraid I'll run away?

Chen Xiuyuan chuckled.

"Run? This world is not short of people who live on the brink of death. If you want to escape, you have to think carefully about whether the road ahead is a road to life or a road to death. Heaven's sins can be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins cannot be escaped."

Jingni looked at the young man standing with his hands behind his back in front of her, and a deep meaning flashed in her eyes. It seemed that the other party had something in mind when he said that.

Is it a warning to himself? Or does it mean something else entirely?
However, there's no need for a warning. Who knows what level a young man who seems to be above the Grandmaster realm will be at next meeting? If he wants to kill her, she probably won't be able to escape to the ends of the earth.

"In that case, I'll take my leave first."

"No rush, there's something I want to know."

"What's the matter?"

"What exactly happened in Daicheng back then? Have the Qin and Zhao states made any major moves recently?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Ni's expression became somewhat complicated. Even a child like Chen Xiuyuan had sensed that things were not so simple?
"These are two separate things."

"However, since you are curious, young master, there is no reason not to."

"."

“When Yan Ri and I came to the State of Zhao, it was not only to intimidate the bandits in the nearby mountain strongholds. I also had another mission: Prince Jia of Zhao.”

Chen Xiuyuan's eyes flickered slightly. It really was the same old formula, even the routine was the same.

"Just like the previous sword master and Wei Wuji back then?"

Jingni shook her head helplessly.

"Young master, you know I had no choice."

Chen Xiuyuan glanced at the other person and frowned slightly.

"you made it?"

Jingni sighed.

"No, after what happened with Wei Wuji, the young masters of various countries no longer trust the people around them as much. I am now working in Zuimenglou, waiting for an opportunity."

Chen Xiuyuan gazed into the distance and spoke again, but with a hint of warning in his voice.

"I don't want the sword in my hand to be a flawed product."

"what should I do?"

That's your problem.

"If I fail to complete the mission, I will die. The Luo Wang also has methods to control people."

Chen Xiuyuan suddenly raised his hand, and in his palm was a clump of black bloodstains covered in water, with something thrashing about in the middle.

"What you're talking about??"

Upon seeing what Chen Xiuyuan held in his hand, Jingni exclaimed in surprise. Even a grandmaster couldn't get rid of such a thing. When did he take it out of her body?

"This is impossible!!"

Chen Xiuyuan casually squeezed the water ball, causing it to suddenly cave in and instantly turn into a bloody mess.

"nothing is impossible."

"And now, the Qin state, upon hearing that Li Mu had turned north, has once again begun to make significant moves."

"I don't know the specifics, but judging from what they've said, they probably have other plans. Daicheng is just a front, and war is about to break out again in this world."

Having resolved Jingni's worries, the other party's tone unconsciously became much more relaxed. Looking at the young man in front of her, her feelings became complicated.

"Young master, I must go."
