I am the snake demon!

Chapter 87 A Spirit of Immortality Through the Ages, A Woman in the Bright Moon Palace (Seeking First Subscription)

The music of the zither is melodious, the sword dance is exquisite, the sea of ​​flowers surges, and the blue lotus blooms.

"Though I die a hero, my spirit will remain fragrant; I am worthy of being a hero of this world!"

With a loud shout, Liu Yi unleashed a whistling sword aura. As he slashed out, a blue lotus bloomed, and the sea of ​​flowers suddenly dispersed, petals falling like a celestial maiden scattering flowers.

Everyone was stunned by what they saw.

After a long while, someone finally reacted and cheered loudly.

"Though he dies, his chivalrous spirit remains; he is worthy of being a hero of this world! What excellent poetry and verses! Truly worthy of being called the foremost swordsman, a master of both poetry and swordsmanship, the Azure Lotus Swordsman!"

Many literati and poets came to the Peony Pavilion.

He read through all of Liu Yi's poems, his face full of amazement.

He could never write such verses in his entire life.

Previously, I envied Liu Yi for having a beautiful woman in his arms, but now I feel that those three courtesans took advantage of Liu Yi.

"What beautiful poetry and verses! What a wonderful zither and music! To witness this unparalleled sword dance and hear this exquisite zither music today has made this trip worthwhile; I can die without regret!"

"The Hidden Dragon is number one, a name well-deserved; a poet descended to earth."

"Wait, didn't you guys notice? It's not grammatically correct; there's a missing line."

"Oh right, it seems like one sentence is missing."

The group of people were amazed, but after the conversation, they all realized that something seemed amiss.

The number of poems doesn't match.

"Who can write your masterpiece, the Tai Xuan Jing, even in your old age?"

Just then, a clear voice rang out, echoing throughout the Peony Pavilion.

"Though he dies, his chivalrous spirit remains, worthy of the world's heroes. Who can write of your life, with your white hair, studying the profound classics? Fine poem, fine lines."

Upon hearing this, the group of people seemed to wake from a dream and exclaimed in amazement.

"Brother Liu, did you enjoy your sword dance? If you've had enough, come back and continue drinking," Bai Xuan said to Liu Yi from the second floor.

Before he finished listening, he jumped down to practice his swordplay.

Is this what a person with strong emotions is like?

Sure enough, the old snake, over a hundred years old, couldn't keep up with the thinking of these young people.

"Many thanks to Brother Bai for helping me break through. Having heard Bai Xuan's famous poem today, from now on, I, Liu Yi, will no longer compose poetry. It would be foolish to show off my limited skills in front of an expert." Liu Yi said.

"Brother Liu, why bother? Mr. Li Bai's poems are excellent. If the fortune of poetry were a stone, he would probably take five pecks. And if the fortune of poetry were romantic, he would probably take nine pecks, leaving one peck for the world to share. Losing to him is not shameful," Bai Xuan said.

"How can I still compose poetry after hearing so many poems? Today, thanks to Brother Bai's guidance, I have gained some insights and must now go into seclusion. However, I cannot forget Brother Bai's kindness. I have nothing of value, but I recently acquired a treasure, which I will now give to Brother Bai, hoping that Brother Bai's martial arts will flourish." As Liu Yi spoke, he took out an item from his bosom and threw it directly to Bai Xuan. Everyone only felt a blur before their eyes and did not see anything.

Bai Xuan reached out and took it. He saw that it was a white jade pendant with the two characters "Haoran" engraved on it. It contained a kind of righteous spirit, which was extraordinary.

Bai Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly. This jade pendant contained a lot of righteous energy, but it was extremely pure. Although it was not as good as him now, it was very close to him when he first underwent tribulation. He said, "Brother Liu's breakthrough is due to his own talent. Giving this treasure to me is too precious."

"If it's just a breakthrough, it might not be enough, but compared to those poems, what is a mere jade pendant? Besides, if I unfortunately die at the hands of the Taibai Sword Immortal, someone will have to collect my body. Consider this an advance payment to Brother Bai." Liu Yi laughed heartily, then clasped his hands in a fist salute to Bai Xuan. With a leap, he was already a hundred feet away in the blink of an eye.

Having just broken through, he needs to find a place to consolidate his strength.

Of course, most importantly, after listening to Li Bai's poems, he felt that there was nothing else in the world that could attract him.

The same applies to Xuejiao's zither playing.

Besides, he had already heard it.

It sounds beautiful.

Then it's time to start cultivating.

He wanted to become the first sword immortal of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a pure sword immortal.

Unlike the Taibai Sword Immortal and the Fuhai Sword Immortal, which need to be embellished before "Sword Immortal".

Instead, he should be like the Sword Demon.

When it comes to the Sword Demon, there is only one person.

The Demon of the Sword.

With a single sword strike, ten thousand swords trembled in fear.

"How carefree he is," Bai Xuan sighed as he watched Liu Yi's departing figure.

"Most people in the martial world are like this, coming and going as they please. Once you meet, you don't know when you'll meet again, or it might be the last time," Lu Zhanqiu said with a sigh, shaking his head.

At this point, a breakthrough might not necessarily be a good thing for Liu Yi.

Because if he doesn't break through, and goes to challenge the Taibai Sword Immortal Li Qingcheng, even though they are both at the ninth realm, there will be a huge gap between them, like clouds and mud.

Although Li Qingcheng cultivates a killing sword technique, she would not kill without cause, so Liu Yi will probably survive.

But if he breaks through, Li Qingcheng might not be able to stop herself.

This kid's breakthrough means his cultivation level will at most reach the fourth rank, still some distance from the third rank.

"Are you getting old and reminiscing about the past?" Bai Xuan said, seeing this.

"Kid, shut up, or I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you anymore," Lu Zhanqiu said irritably.

Why does a perfectly normal person have such a big mouth?

In other words, he was lucky to be the Prince of Zhenbei; otherwise, he certainly wouldn't be alive today.

"No, I meant to say that you, Elder Lu, are still young. There's no need to dwell on the past. You are still in your prime, and you can do whatever you want to do, and you will definitely succeed," Bai Xuan said.

Lu Zhanqiu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, not expecting Bai Xuan to encourage him.

"The sword dance is over, so let's listen to the zither." Bai Xuan smiled lightly, then put away his jade pendant and continued drinking. The zither music he had just heard was quite good, and if he wasn't mistaken, there should be more to come.

Lu Zhanqiu nodded and said no more.

But when they finished, the guests outside became dissatisfied.

"The sword dance is over, Miss Xuejiao should go on stage now. She can't just stop playing the zither after playing it."

"Yeah, we've been waiting for ages, why hasn't it come out yet?"

"If you don't come out, we'll tear down your Peony Pavilion!"

They were all there to have fun, and most of them were simply after Xuejiao's beauty.

Liu Yi's sword dance was beautiful, and they were amazed.

But Liu Yi is not a woman.

If Liu Yi were a woman, it might have excited them, but she wasn't.

They were even happy that Liu Yi left.

After all, they had no confidence in competing with Liu Yi, a renowned scholar and swordsman, for the title of courtesan.

But now that Liu Yi is gone, and a great enemy is gone, then they have another chance to get close to her, right?

-

However, to their surprise, even though they shouted their protests, Xuejiao from the Peony Pavilion still did not show up.

Instead, the madam, swaying her ample hips, slowly emerged and said, "I apologize, everyone, Xuejiao will not be performing today."

"Aunt Xu, what are you talking about? We've all come all this way just to hear Miss Xuejiao play, and now you're telling me she's not going to perform? Are you making a fool of me?"

"Mrs. Xu, could it be that because Liu Yi left, Miss Xuejiao isn't going on stage? Is she looking down on us?"

"Aunt Xu, do you think you're living too comfortably at Peony Pavilion?"

Many guests came to the Peony Pavilion hoping to win Xuejiao's heart, but now that Xuejiao is not going on stage, they are not going to give up.

Many descendants of high-ranking officials and nobles, or even the officials themselves, have their own ways of dealing with a brothel in Wuwei.

However, despite the chaotic scene, the madam remained calm and smiled, saying, "Please be patient, everyone. It's not that I don't want Miss Xuejiao to go on stage, but that Miss Xuejiao already has someone she loves. If you are interested, there are many other beautiful girls in our establishment who can keep you company. Miss Xuejiao is not the only one. To make amends, all expenses at Peony Pavilion will be 30% off today."

"You already have someone you like? Who?"

-

From the crowd, a young man dressed in fine clothes stood up angrily, his face full of murderous intent.

I thought that with Liu Yi gone, Xue Jiao would be his for the taking, but now there's still a change in the situation?

"It is none other than Young Master Bai, who just composed the poem," the madam said loudly, then turned to look at Bai Xuan and said, "Please come in and have a chat with Miss Xuejiao, Young Master Bai."

"Write a poem?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Xuan looked up and said, "That wasn't done by Liu Yi, but it wasn't done by me either; it was done by someone else."

"Young master, please don't be modest. If such a poem were written by someone from the past, how could we not know it?" the madam said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xuan revealed a playful smile. They really wanted me to come in; they were definitely after me.

Besides Lu Zhanqiu and Gao Feng, only Ling Ruofeng knew that I was here today.

So it was Ling Ruofeng's side that leaked the information?

But even so, what can be done?

What kind of confidence allowed Mingyue Palace to dare to attack him?

The Moon Queen of Mingyue Palace didn't even make it onto the martial arts rankings, so she was no match for Lu Zhanqiu.

Moreover, do the forces that cooperated with Mingyue Palace have a death wish?

If something happens to him in Wuwei, all the forces in Wuwei will be wiped out.

Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.

No, the Duan family is an exception. They have relatives, so it's the Duan family that's cooperating with the Blood Shadow Sect and the Bright Moon Palace.

In an instant, a multitude of thoughts flashed through Bai Xuan's mind, but the words that came out of his mouth were: "Alright, since the beauty has invited me, let's see just how stunningly beautiful the number one courtesan of Liangzhou truly is!"

It is said that the Moon Palace is famous for its beauties, and the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world throughout history has always been the Moon Queen of the Moon Palace. He came to take a look and see just how beautiful she is.

Speaking of the situation at Mingyue Palace, it's impossible that the Prince of Zhenbei didn't have a lover there. Could it be that Mingyue Palace was involved in what happened back then, and that love turned into hatred?
