After moving out of the way and returning to the Divine Sect Seminary, Ye Que shot Qian Shuxiao a look. "You better give me one..."
Qian Shuxiao threw a jade pendant at him before he could finish his sentence.
Ye Que caught the pendant with ease and looked at it. "Why is this pendant with you?"
Ye Que remembered vividly that this jade pendant was something his mother left behind. Several days ago, he had personally delivered it to Ye Zhengru. How did it end up in Qian Shuxiao's hands?
"Old General Ye's housekeeper delivered it to me. It's his private housekeeper; you've met him," Qian Shuxiao explained. "The day after your meeting, he secretly came here in the evening to see you. But you were in the midst of your close-door meditation then, so he handed it to me. He also left a message."
"What is it?" Ye Que frowned.
"Tell Ye this: River Soldiers." Qian Shuxiao counted on his fingers as he spoke. "Fi
Unorthodox men had a heart of steel. When the sage didn't see the river filled with red autumnal leaves, it was like a traveler's eyes were filled with blood. Ye Que didn't cry. Though his journey was doomed to be perilous, he didn't think that he wouldn't be able to return. He had said everything that he had to say and met everyone that he had to meet last night. Thus, he left this morning without bidding farewell. Out of the things the Qian siblings gave him, he took nothing except for a spice bag. There would be many treasures in the ley lines of sovereignty of the Imperial Mausoleum and an abundance of golden Divine Energy in the Spiritual Sea. He also had his 13 Spring and Autumn Swords in his heart. These were more than enough for him. With his hands clasped behind his back, he left Luoyang City amid the exquisite morning sunshine and the bleakness of the autumn air. The ley lines of sovereignty of the Imperial Mausoleum
The moon fell behind the crevice of the mountains, leaving only a ray of moonlight to emerge quietly in the night. Leaves the color of blazing flames enveloped the maple forest before Ye Que. Following a sweeping autumn wind, the firey-red maple leaves appeared even more coquettish. Coupled with the tall piles of dead leaves on the ground, the world seemed integrated as a whole. He felt as if he had stepped into a fairyland. The bonfire built on a pile of maple wood had long ceased burning, leaving behind star-like sparks and a wisp of smoke. By now, the forest was shrouded by a thin layer of frosty mist. It was as if it was putting on a thin layer of clothing on the maple leaves that covered the entire mountain. The cold wind emerged from the crevices of the canyon. It swept a wide-awake Ye Que, the mist shrouding the forest, as well as the frosted maple forest. The wind carried a fiery-red maple leaf to him.
The ley lines of sovereignty of the Imperial Mausoleum. The waterfall at the Grass-pecking Cliff. Nalan Rongruo stood at the edge of the waterfall, feeling her rage burn in the pit of her stomach. She was so furious that she nearly died of anger. She hadn't believed her Senior Brothers when they told her how shameless those from the Chamber of the Rainy Duel could be. Now, she was witnessing it with her own eyes. "Shameless" was too kind a word to describe them. Nangong Jie, dressed in a snow-white attire, stood 10 meters away from her with a three-feet-long sword in hand. He looked distinguished and proper yet his behavior was beyond disgusting. He was the great Young Chamber Lord of the Chamber of the Rainy Duel. Having entered the Starburst Realm at the age of 18, he was known as the future genius of the Chamber. It was shocking for him to do something as outrageous as stealing someone's prey, amb
Nangong Jie didn't sense the sword at the back of his head at all. To a Starburst Realm cultivator like him, it was either that the newcomer was an expert manipulator of True Energy who didn't leak any of his energy or that the sword behind him was a high-level weapon. Level 1 was a Taoist object while Level 2 would make it a spiritual object. This sword was at the level of Spirit Sword at the minimum. The gurgling sound of running water rang next to Nangong Jie's ears. He lifted his hands. Sweat was forming on his forehead and he dared not to make any movement. He could feel the skin on the back of his neck tremble from the ice-cold sensation coming from the tip of the sword. Without turning his head, he asked cautiously, "Who are you?" "I'm nobody," Ye Que replied indifferently. "You wield a Spirit Sword and even ambush someone from behind?" Nangong Jie continued, innuendo lacing his words. "That's
The blooming of pear blossom flowers spelled the arrival of fine rain. Nangong Jie's sword rain exploded and looked like it was about to envelop everything. Ye Que finally made his move. He shifted his wrist ever so slightly and tapped lightly on the tip of his foot while bending his body. He moved like a burst of wind sticking close to the ground, evading and erasing the sword rain with his Wind-slicing sword style. He slashed at the edge of the curtain of rain. Before the Wind-slicing sword style landed, the Thorny Rain was already unleashed. The tip of the sword pierced the dazzling rain formation right in the middle with incredible precision. There was a real sword lying in the heart of the formation! Following an ear-piercing sound of friction, Ye Que unleashed the third and fourth sword styles: Crystalized Frost and Scattered Mist. The wind picked up and forcefully spiraled around Nangong Jie's
"Conquer minds or destroy bodies?" The young lady who came here on a fish stared fixedly at Ye Que as she questioned him curiously. Ye Que stared at the plump goldfish in the air that was shaking its wide tail and displaying its four transparent fins. With a sway or two of its body, it landed on the Grass-pecking Cliff. Then, it transformed into a bulging spice bag with a single shake and automatically hung itself on the young lady's waist. After witnessing this strange scene, Ye Que asked indifferently, "Conquering minds or destroying bodies? You can take it whichever you want." "I think it's conquering minds." The young lady placed a finger to her lips. She encircled Ye Que and then looked at the marks left behind on the ground by the battle earlier. "I spotted your Spirit Sword from afar. If I'm not mistaken, it's one of the 13 Mother and Children of Spring and Autumn Swords recorded in the Million Swords Registry." "Judging
These were his fellow Qingqiu Sword Sect disciples, his senior brothers and senior sisters, and yet Ye Que didn't know any of them. He hadn't even heard of the name of the so-called girl genius. His knowledge of the birth of the Divine Tool, the River Soldiers, was even more so sparse. This sounded like a fantasy but the truth was that he really had no idea. In his previous life, he had been reticent and laser-focused on cultivation when he first entered the Qingqiu Sword Sect. He completely ignored what was going on in the world outside, least of all the gossip in the Cultivation World. By the time he began communicating with those around him like an ordinary person, a few years had passed and the incident at the ley lines of sovereignty of the Imperial Mausoleum was already a done deal. Not only did the Qingqiu Sword Sect gain nothing, but they even lost their disciples. Naturally, they wouldn't spread this news.
"That Three-eyed Spirit Deer belongs to us." Even though Li Jianqi was her idol, Nalan Rongruo was never one to yield when it came to principles. "The Spirit Deer was left on the ground without anyone picking it up. Since I picked it up, naturally it's mine," Li Jianqi said righteously. "Besides, you caught this deer for food. I didn't say that I'm going to eat it alone. Everyone's free to join." "If anyone's eating it, it's ours," Nalan Rongruo replied stubbornly. "Let's just say the deer is yours, alright?" Li Jianqi rolled her eyes. "So are you eating or not?" "Of course! Whoever doesn't eat it is an idiot." "I have never eaten this deer before." Their Spiritual Force was fluctuating after spending a good 15 minutes running for their lives. Nalan Rongruo and her fellow disciples had depleted nearly all of their Spiritual Force. This Three-eyed Spirit Deer was exactly what they needed
