Chapter 447 Murong Ming Visits an Old Friend
……
Wuwu year, summer night.
A vast sword light flew from Jiangbei, split into thousands of instantaneous lights and shadows, and slashed towards Longxi.
The Ruan family and Xuanyue sect, which had been entrenched in Longxi for many years, were reduced to ashes in an instant. No one was spared from top to bottom, even the servants in their homes who were unable to practice cultivation were killed.
The wind was howling and blood was flowing like a river.
Even Ruan's golden elixir turned into blood mist without any chance to resist.
The mighty Yuanying powerhouse's aura was overwhelming, and the vast sword shadow was fierce and unpredictable, sweeping across the four directions in a flash, just like a land immortal riding a sword on a tour.
Murong Ming, who had just recently entered the Nascent Soul stage, struck out his first sword strike after the leap.
With just one sword, all the Ruan bloodline within the 90,000 miles of mountains and rivers was wiped out.
It was not until the cold and penetrating sword energy dissipated that people could see clearly... It was a bamboo sword, a bamboo sword without any spiritual energy fluctuations.
North Desert Ice Valley.
Qin Chuxin frowned slightly, staring at the receding sword light, muttering to herself, "The Immortal Sword Pavilion... the inheritance of the Ruyi Immortal Sect..."
"Which sword?"
The night wind was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the entire Chu State seemed to be silent for a moment.
Then, the overwhelming messages began to become chaotic.
There was no need for news from Huanyu Pavilion at all. In less than half an hour, the entire Yongning Prefecture knew about this.
The destruction of the Jindan clan!
Murong Ming!
Hearing these three words again... the dusty door in people's memory seemed to be torn open by an invisible hand.
There were not many major clans in the State of Chu.
But in just twenty years, three of them were destroyed one after another!
And all of them are cruel punishments that will wipe out the entire family!
In the autumn of the Renyin year, he was buried in the Miao family of Jiuhua by the hands of Murong Ming, the sword of immortality.
In the spring of Dingsi year, the East China Sea Divine Sword was buried in the hands of Siyou Niangniang of Siyou Sect.
In the summer of the Wuwu year, the Longxi Ruan family was buried by the hands of Murong Ming, the Sword of Eternal Life...
"Murong Sword Demon!"
"At the Jindan stage, he disrespected Chu Yue and recklessly killed Miao Yinglin to overthrow the Miao family. Now that he's at the Yuanying stage, he's even more ruthless. Is he planning to wipe out the entire Chu State?!"
"It's him... the culprit who overthrew the Miao family."
"Hasn't he been imprisoned in Songshan all this time?"
"Breakthrough...Land Immortal!"
"But Chu State is already Si You's world, and there's even a Transformed God guarding the Blood God Peak. How dare he take action?!"
"Don't forget that over the past few decades, the Changsheng Sword Sect was the one that truly dominated the world."
"Why did the Changsheng Sword destroy Longxi?"
……
In just one night, the entire Chu State was in a state of panic, and many clans felt as if there was a fog in front of them, unable to see clearly... and unable to grasp it.
early morning.
Two imperial edicts were issued in succession from the imperial court, causing all the nobles to tremble with fear.
"I am acting on behalf of the Lord."
"Longxi Ruan Helu committed heinous crimes and attempted rebellion. He will be punished by heaven and earth, and his entire clan will be exterminated."
"Murong Jianxian has made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion, and was appointed Marshal Mu, and granted the title of Marquis of Jiangbei, with a fief of three counties."
"Announce it to the whole world, and let all know it."
As soon as these two edicts were issued, all the clans, big and small, in the Chu State became panicked instantly.
Murong Ming, a sword immortal in the Nascent Soul stage, entered the court of the Chu State!
There is a man named Ruan Helu who is plotting treason!
Who is Ruan Helu?
No one knows.
Obviously, this was just a reason to destroy Longxi.
That Prime Minister Zhou didn't even bother to come up with a reasonable excuse...
Under the mighty power of the Blood God Peak, and at a time when the Chu State's immortal path was flourishing, how could he dare to act like this?!
Is the situation in Chu going to change again?
How long has it been since Shendao Island sank into the East China Sea?
Is Empress Si You indifferent to this?
……
However, both the Blood God Peak and the Siyou Sect were speechless, while the Longevity Sword and the Ice Valley remained the same.
In just one hour, all the major clans fell silent.
The sword that pierced the sky last night not only destroyed the clans and factions of Longxi, but also shattered the pipe dreams of cultivators of all races in the world.
Many family heads and elders came out one after another to discuss matters.
Originally, after they accepted the favor from Blood God Peak, they didn't pay much attention to the court affairs of Chu State... After all, it was the mundane affairs of the people's lives, and the younger disciples could take care of it.
But looking back now... the favor from Blood God Peak doesn't seem so easy to obtain, and the Chu court is certainly not a soft persimmon that can be ignored.
In the past, in the eyes of many clans in the Chu State, Siyou Sect, Xueshen Peak, Changsheng Sword, Chaotang... seemed to be the same force.
It was only at this moment that I realized—
Chu is Chu.
Si You is Si You.
Blood God Peak is Blood God Peak.
The Sword of Eternal Life is still the Sword of Eternal Life...
These are four forces and should not be confused.
The Emperor of Chu was a follower of Si Youzong, but it was the Prime Minister who sat in the court.
Xueshen Peak and Shouyun Mountain are closely related, but they are also clearly separated from each other.
Changshengjian and Hanbinggu surrendered, but it was still the vast immortal sect that dominated the State of Chu.
These forces... came together for some reason.
At the same time, in the Twelve Floors of Yujing, the names of Xueyi and Tianxiang began to be known by more and more people.
For the remote and desolate Chu State, the name of the Blood-Cloaked Walker did not bring much shock.
Countless cultivators in the mortal world could only marvel at this - it turns out... the stars above their heads are all from the Immortal Sect!
How powerful would that be?
Are there immortals in legends?
·
Shouyun Mountain, Si Youzong.
The warm sunshine fell on the mountains and dispelled the hazy mist in the early morning.
A man in light armor was walking slowly up the mountain, with a sword hanging from his waist. He looked like a swordsman or a general.
His powerful palm rested on the hilt of the sword. Although there was no spiritual energy fluctuation coming from it, he could already feel the cold and murderous intent.
The gorgeous fairy pavilion flew over, and a man and a woman fell down.
Li Dan Gui and Luo Xian Ning stared at each other, and Dan Gui was the first to bow and said with a smile: "Sword Immortal Murong, I have long admired you."
Luo Xianning didn't show much courtesy, but just whispered in confusion: "Why did Elder Murong come to Siyou?"
The man in front of me is none other than myself.
It was Murong Ming who killed all the people in Longxi last night!
The second uncle of the head of the Jiangbei Murong family!
Changsheng Sword Sect, Chief Elder of Jiange!
Now he is already a Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator!
"Xian Ning, Elder Li."
Murong Ming chuckled and nodded, muttering to himself, "I'm here to visit an old friend. I've been asked to come and clarify an old story."
Visiting old friends... receiving instructions...
Luo Xianning was filled with surprise and was shocked.
Apart from the master, who else can give orders to this Murong Sword Demon?
The ancestor of the Murong family who is in seclusion?
"Elder Murong, are you here for Jiangbei?" The woman frowned and asked in a low voice.
"No."
Murong Ming smiled and shook his head, the bright silver armor on his shoulders shining brightly in the warm sunlight.
Li Dangui didn't understand the situation and was very puzzled by Murong Ming's strange behavior.
"Sword Immortal Murong is not a disciple of Yujing. Who is he visiting on Shouyun Mountain?"
Hearing this, Murong Ming laughed in disappointment.
After a brief silence, he summoned his cultivation and spoke aloud, "Murong Ming, the Seventh Sword Disciple of the Ruyi Immortal Sect, has come to visit Blood-Cloaked Zhao Xingzou on the orders of his uncle-master!"
"like--!"
Luo Xianning's face suddenly changed, and for a moment she felt that this matter was extremely absurd.
The seventh sword of Ruyi Immortal Sect, Shen Su... ?
Murong Ming is Shen Su's disciple?
Yes.
It is possible that he had the opportunity to come into contact with Shen Su's inheritance when he was guarding Jiange.
But who is his uncle?!
In an instant, the majestic and vast primordial spirit overwhelmed the heaven and earth, and the rich incense dispersed the clouds and mist on the mountain.
Si He's indifferent and cold whisper came over: "Zhao Qing is not here."
"Who is your uncle?"
Murong Ming instantly restrained his cultivation. He felt that facing the vast primordial spirit, his sword intent and primordial spirit were trembling uncontrollably.
Empress Si You...
He bowed respectfully, took out a strange cloth hat with a curved brim, and recalled to himself, "She said... her last name was Zhang."
Luo Xianning's beautiful eyes were stunned for a moment, and she gradually figured out some of the meaning.
open……
The Senior Sister Zhang that Xiaoyi mentioned?
But how did the man in blood-stained clothes become Murong Ming's uncle?
The scene before her became increasingly confusing, leaving Luo Xianning feeling completely bewildered and unable to make sense of anything.
"bring it on."
Si He's calm voice echoed, and Murong Ming's figure was also transferred... and disappeared.
"Does Murong Ming have a past with Zhao Qing?"
Li Dangui was still confused and asked Xianning questions in a strange way.
"Um……"
The woman's dark brows gradually relaxed, and her beautiful eyes were a little lost in thought: "Yes, Zhao Qing and I visited him in Songshan."
……
Siyou City, Xuanji Pavilion.
The white-haired girl leaned on the railing boredly, her bright almond-shaped eyes watching the scattered pedestrians in the distance.
behind her.
A man in light armor was brought over. He was initially puzzled for a moment, then bowed his head respectfully and said, "Murong Ming greets the Empress."
Si He didn't look back. After a long sigh, she supported her pretty face with her white wrist... and turned to play with her white hair.
The male spirit in her body vibrated, and Zhao Qing's strange laughter came.
"Sister Zhang asked Murong Ming to come find me?"
"What else could it be?"
"It must be Miao Jian, there's no way he can escape."
Si He curled her lips slightly, and complained helplessly through telepathy: "It seems that you really have to take over this mess. Zhang Jin ran away very quickly."
Zhao Qing: ...
"Maybe it's a good thing? Anyway, I'll be at Wanxiang Gate soon, and Qingying will have to leave the mess to me."
Si He sneered disdainfully: "Haha, do you really take Sister Zhang as your gentle sister?"
"I think she could kill you..."
Zhao Qing: "There's no other way. Let's ask what's going on first."
-
Si He turned around and looked at the man in front of him with a smile.
This Murong Ming... is very popular in the State of Chu today.
"Are you Shen Su's apprentice?"
The white-haired girl was at her leisure. She walked slowly, poured herself a cup of hot tea, and then leaned lazily on the wooden chair.
Murong Ming whispered respectfully, "I was once an elder of the Changsheng Sword Pavilion. When I was guarding the Sword Pavilion in my early years, I was fortunate enough to receive some inheritance from the Ruyi Immortal Sect."
"There is an ancient nun soul who calls herself the Master of the Moon-Chasing Sword. She passed down half of the Ruyi Sword Technique, which is why I have been able to practice it until now."
Si He nodded lightly while communicating with Zhao Qing.
This was not much different from their earlier speculation. Murong Ming's involvement in Miao Jian's affairs was inseparable from his presence in Jiange.
"Then why do you call Zhang Jin your uncle?"
"Shen Su and Zhang Jinyi know each other, right?" Si He asked softly with a bright smile in his eyes, playing with the brocade box in his hand.
Murong Ming's eyes trembled, and he felt that there was nothing more he needed to say.
Empress Si You seems to know all these old things?
"That's true, but I've only met Uncle Zhang twice."
Si He nodded slightly, and used his soul to evolve light and shadow... which appeared beside him.
It was the image of Zhao Qing and Qing Huan at this moment, they were driving a flying boat towards Wanxiang Gate.
Zhao Qing gazed intently, and seemed to be able to see Murong Ming's presence, but it was only in Si He's mind...
He stood on the flying boat, holding Qing Huan's slender waist, and chuckled to himself, "It's a fate we've met."
"One side was at the foot of Jiuhua Peak, when the Miao family was destroyed."
"On the one hand, not long ago, after the Waking of Insects, when Zhang Jinyi visited the State of Chu."
Murong Ming's expression was trembling. When he saw the blood-clothed guard of Songshanfang again, he felt an indescribable sense of oppression coming towards him.
For those traveling in Yujing, the Nascent Soul cultivation level is nothing.
And... Zhao Qing had indeed accurately predicted the truth.
He was silent for a long time, then whispered solemnly, "On the night of the mid-autumn of the Renyin year, I saw her at the foot of Jiuhua Peak."
Si He replied leisurely...
"When the Miao family was destroyed, you were there, as were Zhang Jinyi and Shen Su."
"There should also be a bald man. It was this bald man who drew his sword and slaughtered the entire Miao family."
Murong Ming remained silent. Facing the Blood-Robed Walker and Empress Si You, his aura of a person who had just reached the Nascent Soul stage disappeared completely.
At this moment, I even feel that I have come here in vain.
They... know everything.
Murong Ming could only repeat in a low voice: "It's an old monk, with a very high level of cultivation."
really!
Si He and Zhao Qing communicated silently.
The Ruyi Sword is a fragment of the Heavenly Dao. Shen Su must be present when the soul is extracted and the spirit is refined from the fragment of the Heavenly Dao.
Daoxin and Zhang Jinyi were actually instructed by Qingying to make this happen.
And Murong Ming...
Unfortunately, he is just a scapegoat.
A scapegoat who prevents Miao Jian from hating Yu Jing and diverts the hatred to Changsheng Sword.
Si He stared at Murong Ming with a playful look, and said with a light smile: "Go on."
Murong Ming: ...
He carefully considered his words and said to himself, "From the beginning to the end, I have been a bystander."
"Back then, I didn't realize that the world would bring the Miao family's blood feud upon me."
"After being imprisoned in Songshan, no one mentioned this matter except Zhao Xingzou who went to search for him in the year of Wushen."
"Master left me a sword mark in the Sword Pavilion that year, and it now remains in Murong's ancestral land."
"That mid-autumn night, I witnessed with my own eyes the compassionate and philanthropic old monk draw his sword and slaughter the entire Miao family."
"The old monk and the master worked together to extract the soul and refine the spirit, transforming a magical green sword into a human form."
"That person's name is...Miao Jian."
Si He chuckled and shook his head: "That's all?"
"Zhang Jinyi shouldn't be so boring."
Murong Ming smiled bitterly and sighed, then lowered his head and said self-deprecatingly, "Master Zhang came to me, only to ask me to tell him everything I had seen, so that Zhao Xingzou could understand everything clearly."
"I never thought that the Empress and Zhao Xingxing were as clear-minded as a mirror."
"It was as if I was standing by and watching quietly that night..."
The man talked to himself, and sighed as he spoke.
"Back then, I never imagined that the Miao family's blood feud would lead to the Murong clan and the Sword of Eternal Life."
"But fortunately—"
Murong Ming finally revealed a trace of relief: "Uncle Zhang asked me to tell Zhao Xingxing that the sword will not seek revenge on the Chu State. Let Zhao Xingxing and I rest assured."
Zhao Qing looked very strange. Miao Jian would not come to seek revenge in the future?
That's pretty good.
Maybe I can see Miao Jian again when I go to Zhongzhou in the future.
"Why? Did senior sister tell you?" He asked doubtfully with a smile.
"Um……"
Murong Ming paused for a moment, then responded with equal ease: "According to my uncle, Miao Jian has learned about his own life experience."
"It seems that he will cause trouble for that monk. Unfortunately, he can't defeat him, and..."
"Wait! Stop!"
A low, cold voice interrupted the man's relaxed speech. Zhao Qing slowly frowned, and his sword-like eyes seemed to be staring at Murong Ming.
Si He, who had always been relaxed and comfortable, also looked a little unhappy.
"You mean, Miao Jian knows the whole story?"
Seeing this, Murong Ming seemed to realize that there was something else going on. He unconsciously tensed his mind and whispered, "That's what Uncle Zhang told me."
Zhao Qing: ...
Get out of here, Alpaca!
are you kidding me?
Dao Xin had quit his job a long time ago, and Sister Zhang ran away so quickly that she disappeared without a trace.
I'm almost at Wanxiang Gate, and you're telling me this?
This mess... you can't let me clean up the mess, right?
Am I fucking worthy?
