Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

In this world, everyone only sees the results and knows the results. Few people explore and care about the process. However, how much of the results of the process are true and how much are false?

The Xuantian Sect and the Ji Family only knew that the Ouyang Family had taken a piece of Bitter Spring Emperor Stone from the Dry Bones and Cold Abyss, but they had no idea what it was used for!

The secluded branch of the Ouyang family thought that the half piece of the Bitter Spring Emperor Stone in their hands had grown the Nine-Turn Golden Soul Grass, so the Bitter Spring Emperor Stone of the Ouyang family in Jianying City would also grow the Nine-Turn Soul-Shocking Grass!

What about the disappeared Xuantian Pavilion? They also thought that the bitter spring emperor stone at the bottom of the sword pool valley would definitely grow herbs containing the essence of heaven and earth, which is what Jiu Xiaoyao said about the hibiscus cold grass!

But what about the reality? Everyone is wrong!

There is indeed half a piece of Bitter Spring Emperor Stone at the bottom of the Sword Pond Valley, but there is no Nine-Transformation Golden Soul Grass and Hibiscus Cold Grass. The reason is very simple. The Ouyang family's Bitter Spring Emperor Stone is used to restrain the power of sword energy.

The reason why the Ouyang family was able to forge the holy sword had a lot to do with the Bitter Spring Emperor Stone, because the power of the essence of heaven and earth needed for the holy sword came from the Bitter Spring Emperor Stone.

In other words, without this Bitter Spring Emperor Stone, the Ouyang Family would not be able to forge the Holy Sword. In other words, the Ouyang Family was actually stealing the energy from the Bitter Spring Emperor Stone.

This also explains why the half piece of Bitter Spring Emperor Stone in the hidden vein where Shen Jinfei was located grew the Nine Revolutions Golden Soul Grass. It was because there were too few holy swords forged in the hidden vein, and the energy that stole the Bitter Spring Emperor Stone was too little!

What about the Ouyang family of Jianying City? After forging more than a dozen holy swords, the energy of half a piece of Bitter Spring Emperor Stone has been almost exhausted.

The reason why there is such a powerful sword force in the Sword Pond Valley is because the energy of the Bitter Spring Emperor Stone is about to be exhausted and can no longer be restrained. In other words, the Sword Pond Valley of Xuankong Mountain may be destroyed at any time!

Therefore, from the perspective of the Bitter Spring Emperor Stone, the world has misunderstood Ouyang Zhengxiong. This Half-Emperor Sword is the Ouyang family's last chance to forge it, because once the Bitter Spring Emperor Stone is destroyed, it will no longer be possible to gather the majestic power of sword energy, and then the Half-Emperor Sword will naturally not succeed!

The world may not have noticed that the time interval between each generation of the Holy Sword of the Ouyang family has been increasing. This is because they are waiting for the Essence of Heaven and Earth to overflow from the Bitter Spring Emperor Stone. As the energy becomes weaker and weaker, the essence of heaven and earth overflows slower and slower.

The foundation of the Ouyang family is about to be lost! This is also the reason why Ouyang Zhengxiong chose to gamble everything on one throw. He knows the human heart too well.

Once Jianchi Valley is destroyed, the Ouyang family will not be able to forge the holy sword, and the Ouyang family will soon be removed from the four major families in Yingzhou. They will then be oppressed, encircled, and killed, and eventually the Ouyang family will disappear from the land of Yingzhou.

Who can understand Ouyang Zhengxiong's painstaking efforts?

It is better to die with honor than to live in disgrace. This integrity is worthy of respect from the world, but it's just that you took the wrong path.

But if the positions were reversed, Ji Qingli and Murong Lunbo would make the same choice. Hundreds of years of inheritance and generations of glory, no one wants to destroy it in their own hands!

The Sword Pool Valley in Xuankong Mountain is a scam, a complete scam. Xuantian Pavilion, Xuantian Sect, Ji Family, and the Extraterritorial Demon Sect, everyone has been deceived. There is no Nine-Transformation Golden Soul Grass, no Essence of Heaven and Earth, no Muling Lake, and no Haohai Seal. There is only a terrifying force that can destroy everything at any time!

Why did Ouyang Zhengxiong still want to defend it? It was to attract more powerful people to come here, and use the sword power that had been bound by the Bitter Spring Emperor Stone for hundreds of years to destroy the enemy!

In fact, this is also the wisdom of the ancestors of the Ouyang family. The ancestors of the Ouyang family knew that the Ji family and the Xuantian Sect would deal with the Ouyang family sooner or later, so they set up this mystery at the beginning of the construction of Jianying City.

Of course, no one thought it would be destroyed overnight, but too many people in later generations were eager for quick success and instant benefits and forged too many holy swords!

What Ouyang Zhengxiong regretted most about Jianchi Valley was the Floating Stone. Once Jianchi Valley was destroyed, the Floating Stone would also be completely destroyed, but he had no choice!

In Jianying City, the first people to see this secret were Shen Yichen and Wan Ning. Unfortunately, the two only saw the result and were unaware of the conspiracy behind it!

Shen Yichen and Wan Ning really walked to the bottom of the Sword Pond Valley and saw the sword-casting pool. At the bottom of the sword-casting pool was a huge rock, which was the half of the Bitter Spring Emperor Stone.

Due to the overflowing powerful sword energy, Shen Yichen and Wan Ning didn't dare to walk out of the floating stone at all. They were of course shocked and very surprised!

There was nothing left in the sword-forging pool. It must have all been turned into dust by the power of the sword.

"Brother Gua, is this really the sword-forging pool? How can you forge swords here? There's nothing here!"

Wan Ning was surprised and a little panicked. She held Shen Yichen's hand tightly because the power seemed very unstable.

Of course Shen Yichen was also shocked!

The Sword Casting Pool was like this, but what about the second? There was no one guarding the Sword Casting Pool. The two of them walked all the way on the floating stone, and there was no one around!

Shen Yichen couldn't understand what General Jian Xuanxing and Ouyang Hanjiang were guarding? Were they guarding the floating stone? How could this be possible!

Of course, Shen Yichen and Wan Ning didn't know that the reason why the bottom of the Sword Pool Valley became like this was because the Sword of the Half-Emperor had been completed and sent to Ouyang Villa.

After the Half-Emperor's Sword left the sword-forging pool, the sword energy in the sword-forging pool continued to overflow, destroying everything that existed before.

In other words, when the Sword of Half-Emperor was taken away, Ouyang Zhengxiong gave up on the Sword Pool Valley of Xuankong Mountain and evacuated all the people there.

Shen Yichen went to Xuankong Mountain alone and accidentally helped Ouyang Zhengxiong a lot. Not only did he let him know the existence of Jian Xuanxing Jiang, but he also made the Sword Pool Valley of Xuankong Mountain the focus of Jianying Holy City, which was something Ouyang Zhengxiong was very happy to see!

What will happen after today? More people will come to the Sword Pond Valley of Xuankong Mountain, and they will either die under the power of the sword or never know the secret of the Sword Pond Valley.

Ouyang Zhengxiong believed that no one could get to the sword-casting pool because he could not withstand the sword energy nearby.

As for the formation in the floating stone, Ouyang Zhengxiong had to keep it. The formation was integrated with the Bitter Spring Emperor Stone, which was the Twenty-Eight Constellations Formation of the Xuantian Sect!

Therefore, Ouyang Zhengxiong had a reason to expel the people from Yuyao Tower. It was not to avenge his previous humiliation, but to prevent the people from Xuantian Sect from discovering the secret of Jianchi Valley in Xuankong Mountain.

Ouyang Zhengxiong wanted to put pressure on Yuyao Tower, but he would never destroy it. He wanted the people of Xuantian Sect to guard there all the time until Jianchi Valley was destroyed.

After the destruction of Jianchi Valley, Ouyang Zhengxiong can retreat, advance, destroy or keep Yuyao Tower!

Let’s talk about how Shen Yichen and Wan Ning entered the only passage in the floating stone.

After Shen Yichen used his spiritual sense to explore all the floating stones, he remembered the Twenty-Eight Constellations Formation in the Dry Bone and Cold Abyss, as well as the strange road in the Dry Bone and Cold Abyss. Only then did he understand that the road that Yu Xiwei took him on must have the floating stones.

Although Shen Yichen understood everything, he really knew nothing about the formation. He released countless spiritual senses and tried each floating stone one by one starting from the top one, until he had explored all the floating stones before he found the secret passage hidden in the formation.

Of course, this is not something that can be achieved overnight. Shen Yichen practiced and explored at the same time because his skills could not sustain it for so long.

When Shen Yichen found that path, the skills taught by Wan Ning and his use of spiritual consciousness improved a lot.

Shen Yichen has a new understanding of spiritual consciousness, but he still doesn't know how to set up the method of self-destruction in his spiritual consciousness!

Although Shen Yichen found the way, he didn't know how to leave the floating stone, because the floating stone where the two of them were was not in the secret passage.

Finally the dream is over!

Wan Ning didn't know how she got over there. She took out the silver needle again and kept spinning it. Shen Yichen didn't pay much attention to it, but the more he watched the spinning silver needle, the more he felt sleepy he became. In the end, he knew nothing.

When Shen Yichen woke up again, he and Wan Ning were on the new floating stone.

Shen Yichen wanted to laugh, it was obvious that Wan Ning had done something, but since Wan Ning was unwilling to say, Shen Yichen did not ask.

However, Shen Yichen was a little more cautious towards Wan Ning, but there was no point in being on guard actually. Wan Ning was able to break through such a powerful sword force, but he couldn't deal with it!

Shen Yichen knew that what Sister Qing said about Wan Ning having a mysterious power really existed! And it was very powerful.

At the bottom of the Sword Pond in Xuankong Mountain, Shen Yichen and Wan Ning stood on the last floating stone, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Wan Ning's expression kept changing. With such powerful sword energy, she didn't dare to jump into the empty sword-casting pool.

Wan Ning was wondering where the Nine-Transformation Golden Soul Grass was, while Shen Yichen was wondering where the real Muling Lake was!

At present, the only possible answer for the two people is that it is at the bottom of the sword-making pool, under the huge rock.

Shen Yichen had seen the Emperor Stone before, but he always felt that something was wrong. The energy of this Emperor Stone seemed to be very thin. The energy of the Emperor Stone in the Dry Bone Cold Abyss was not like this!

"Wan Ning, is your grandfather lying to us?"

Shen Yichen finally couldn't help it. He felt that this was a scam. It was impossible for the Nine Revolutions Golden Soul Grass and Muling Lake to exist here.

Wan Ning did not respond directly. After a long while, she said softly:

"It's not that Grandpa lied to us, but Grandpa was deceived by others. But your sister Yan also confirmed this news. Could it be that the Ji family was also deceived?"

Shen Yichen was stunned when he heard this. Wan Ning was right!

The fortune-teller's attitude before and after shows that he actually has no idea what the bottom of the Sword Pond Valley looks like. He just heard that the Nine-Revolution Golden Soul Grass is here.

As for Muling Lake, the old fortune-teller was just guessing!

"No, Wan Ning, we have to leave here first. There must be a conspiracy here. The Ouyang family must know the situation here. They even sent people to guard Jianchi Valley. This is obviously illogical!"

Shen Yichen pulled Wan Ning back up the same way, as they had another problem.

There is a sword formation above their heads, and there are people guarding outside the Sword Pond Valley. Once they are trapped here, the sword power at the bottom of the Sword Pond Valley will turn them into dust.

There is another person in Jianying City who knows the situation in Jianchi Valley, and that is Ouyang Qingcheng. However, Xiao Yingxu did not enter Jianchi Valley, so Ouyang Qingcheng did not know about the power of the sword.

Well, maybe this is fate. God seems to be helping Ouyang Zhengxiong.
