Chapter 128 Her body... Who gave it to you?
Xue Lan and Xue Tong found the Jiangyun Sect's flying boat by asking for directions. The area beneath the flying boat was already crowded with people heading to the capital.
Xue Lan diligently played the role of a blind man, tapping the ground with the wooden stick in her hand.
The area below the flying boat was crowded with people, and Xue Lan and Xue Tong were standing on the outermost edge, unable to squeeze in.
Xue Tong held Xue Lan's hand, afraid that they might accidentally lose the blind man here.
Actually, I think you can go to the capital by yourself, right?
Xue Lan: "This is also part of the human condition, isn't it? Let's wait and see, it will eventually go up."
The two waited on the outskirts of the crowd. After a short while, Xue Lan didn't get on the boat; instead, he was bumped into.
The girl staggered forward, but Xue Tong caught her with quick reflexes.
Xue Tong turned around to curse, but Xue Lan covered her mouth.
Xue Lan covered Xue Tong's mouth, and Xue Tong saw the person in front of her clearly.
He was a thin, middle-aged man with a stubble beard. He had fallen to the ground after colliding with Xue Lan, scattering the contents of his bundle all over the floor.
They were letters, each with a name written on it.
Xue Lan patted Xue Tong's head: "You're not allowed to talk like that outside."
The way we speak here includes, but is not limited to, terms like "living father" and "madman."
The girl released Xue Tong and said in a gentle voice, "Did you drop something? Xiao Tong, help me pick it up."
Xue Tong reluctantly squatted down to pick up the letters for the middle-aged man. As she handed him the stack of letters, the young girl couldn't help but speak up:
"Sir, you should watch where you're going next time you walk."
The person on the other end nodded somewhat numbly: "Okay, okay... thank you, miss."
Watching the middle-aged man walk unsteadily forward, Xue Tong turned around, took Xue Lan's hand again, and began to scold Xue Lan.
[She's supposed to be a deity, so next time someone bumps into her, can't you just bounce her away?]
Xue Lan smiled and said, "Didn't he collapse? From now on, you're not allowed to swear in public."
Xue Tong was a little unhappy: "Did I insult someone for no reason? I usually only act when I have a reason, okay? I even insulted you..."
The little girl's voice grew softer and softer until it finally stopped.
She looked genuinely afraid that Xue Lan would cover her mouth again, or even worse, cast a small spell to seal her mouth shut.
Let's go up.
Xue Tong led Xue Lan onto the flying boat. Among the Jiangyun Sect disciples on board, some who had seen Xue Lan before nodded slightly to her.
Xue Lan would nod in response to the gaze coming from her, everything was understood without words.
Everyone boarded the ship, and the flying boat slowly started, carrying a ship full of mortals to the capital of the Great Shun Dynasty.
Looking down at the clouds that seemed within reach, Xue Tong asked a question that had always intrigued her.
The book I read said that cultivators generally don't get involved with mortal dynasties. Are the Crimson Cloud Sect and the Long Sword Sect really unrelated?
Xue Lan smiled and replied, "That's something to think about after the war ends. Right now, the Yuanming realm is in the mortal world, invaded by demons. The demons don't care whether you're an immortal or a mortal."
Xue Tong thought it made sense. The demon race treated humans and demons equally, which meant they were all treated equally.
"I wonder how the battle is going on the demon race's side in the Sky Fish Tide Domain?"
Si Yaochuan, Kongyu tide area.
Zhu Lingzhi, holding the Qiwu Bow, surveyed the battlefield. The young girl's skirt flared like fire, her phoenix eyes were cold and sharp, and at her feet lay a mountain of demonic corpses.
The sea surface of the Sky Fish Tide gradually calmed down, and the boy, whose body still bore the residual power of lightning, walked to her side.
"News has arrived from Mount Luoxia! Someone has intercepted the demon army's sneak attack and won!"
Zhu Lingzhi turned around and looked at Zhu Lingzhi behind him: "Who is it? That commander named Ji Jinjin?"
Lei Chuxi's expression was somewhat unpleasant. The young man crossed his arms and said, "No... he's an old acquaintance."
Zhu Lingzhi tentatively asked, "Xue Lan?"
Lei Chuxi nodded, somewhat exasperated: "This is the first time I've ever seen a weapon refiner running to the front lines."
Zhu Lingzhi put away the Qiwu Bow and looked at a white figure walking towards him.
Xue Chongyu looked at Zhu Lingzhi; she had just overheard their conversation: "If it's her, then it's to be expected, isn't it?"
"She... stepped on the faces of us geniuses from the upper realm to become a candidate for the head of the Wan Gong Fang."
Xue Chongyu's words were so blunt that Lei Chuxi was speechless.
The girl in white sheathed her longsword: "The war is over, but I still have things to do. Farewell, fellow Daoists."
Xue Chongyu vanished in a wisp of white smoke before them. Zhu Lingzhi slowly spoke, "What exactly is this important matter she spoke of?"
Lei Chuxi shook his head: "There's no need to say more about this."
"But she's right. With the war over, we do have more important things to do. There's a problem with the Golden Crow Essence. The city lord asked me to take you back to the Upper Realm to activate your bloodline in the Phoenix Clan's Secret Realm."
Zhu Lingzhi replied with a "Okay!"
Now that the demon race and the human race in the lower realm have signed a pact to fight against the demon race together, she must become stronger in order to protect her own race.
Xue Chongyu rode a cloud to the top of Fuyang City, where a man wearing a bamboo hat was already waiting for her.
"The battle in the lower realms has come to this point, and you have no intention of intervening?" The girl looked at the man in front of her.
Wu Jin, with a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, asked, "How do you know I didn't make a move?" The young man, with his sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, replied with interest, "I just left a little early."
"And I found some good stuff here!"
The two walked to the edge of the city wall of Fuyang City, and Xue Chongyu's expression changed.
Wu Jin smiled at her: "You're a little late. The icy power here dissipated rapidly yesterday. But that's enough."
"I know you're looking for your sister. How about we make a deal? I'll help you find her, and you introduce me to your patriarch, Lord Changjun."
Xue Chongyu hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I can help you, but I'm not sure if Changjun will see you."
The young man adjusted his straw hat: "That's enough."
The young man looked into Xue Chongyu's eyes and slowly said, "The garrison in Fuyang City said that this icy power was left behind by a female immortal. We can investigate along this line of inquiry."
Wasteland, underground cave.
A sharp sword aura sliced all the demons in front of him in two. Before they could even react, they were killed, and even their demonic souls were annihilated.
A woman with white hair walked slowly up the long steps of the underground cave, each step echoing in the empty cave.
The familiar feeling grew stronger, and as the woman saw the door in front of her, her fingers trembled slightly.
"Xue Lan... what if that's really the case!"
The woman slowly waved her hand, and the restrictions on the gate in front of her were broken in an instant, slowly opening.
The woman saw the headless wolf carcass inside, bound tightly by chains.
In the desolate wilderness, an extremely dazzling sword light shot into the sky, transforming into a vast rain of swords. As it fell, it annihilated all the demons on the ground.
Ji Gu stayed in his palace, trembling as he looked at the scene outside.
"It was this sword energy that killed the priest..."
The next moment, he saw Sug hurriedly walk into the palace.
"Your Highness, something has happened at the underground palace!"
Ji Gu felt a chill run down his spine. He wanted to ask Su Ge what had happened, but a white line appeared on Su Ge's body, and he watched helplessly as his subordinate was split in two.
The cold blade pressed against his neck, and through the reflection in the mirror in front of him, Ji Gu saw a pair of blood-red eyes.
The woman's voice was filled with overwhelming killing intent:
"Her body...who gave it to you?"
The young man was terrified. He stammered, "Yes, the Thousand Realms of Ghosts!"
The woman cleanly and swiftly annihilated the demon in front of her, her entire being resembling a fierce weapon that had fought on the battlefield for a thousand years.
"Wanxu County!"
After speaking, the woman transformed into a streak of sword light and disappeared into the horizon.
