The warm breeze of early spring blew into the secluded lodge, bringing warmth.
But this scent was instantly dispelled by an evil and sinister sword aura. From underneath the manor, six greenish sword arrows shot out, hovering and flying in the air, occasionally emitting a sword cry, as if calling out for something.
The next moment, another sword mane shot out from the ground, joining the previous six sword manes, and the seven swords danced around, forming a roaring poisonous auger, recklessly dispersing the evil aura in the sky.
“Boom…”
The dark green figure broke through the earth and slowly rose into the air as the poisonous augur danced around him, eventually rushing into him.
“Miso…”
With the incomparably piercing sound of a sword, the dark green figure’s aura rose to a higher level, more powerful and sinister than before.
“Slap slap slap ——”
Jian Ji applauded as she marched from outside the mountain, “I was indeed not wrong about you, you are a natural seed of the sword dao, to the extent that you have comprehended the sword qi of Ji Tang and the others and practiced the seventh Xuan Yin sword qi on your own.”
The low, overlapping voice showed that the one who dominated Jian Ji’s body at this time was not her, but the one who had granted her new life.
The dark green figure landed on the ground, bowed its head slightly and said respectfully, “Mirror Master.”
“O Jian Su, your natural talent in the sword dao is admirable. If you were to stop at the Six Paths of Xuan Yin Sword Qi, then you would be no different from your previous situation. Before, your path was cut off at the peak of the True Dan realm, and now your path is cut off at the six channels of Xuan Yin Sword Qi.
But now that you have confidently cultivated the seventh sword qi, it means that you have opened up your own path ahead. In the future, you will no longer face a desperate situation.” Qing Yu exclaimed in admiration.
“All this is still thanks to the Mirror Master for granting new life.” Without a trace of arrogance, the Xuan Yin Swordhost calmly said.
“What I have bestowed is only an opportunity, it is still your own ability to seize it and open up the way ahead.” Qing Yu shook his head gently and said.
He had bestowed quite a few sword qi, but the only one who could truly grasp the Xuan Yin sword qi completely was Xuan Yin Jian Su. He might have to add Yun Zheng, but Yun Zheng’s foundation was not in Xuan Yin Sword Qi, and he only had one Xuan Yin Sword Qi, which was far less capable than Xuan Yin Sword Soo.
“Xuan Yin Jian Su.” Qing Yu called out.
“My subordinate is here.” The Xuan Yin Swordhost answered.
“The Zen Master of the Silent Zen Academy, Great Destruction, is fleeing towards the south with the Silent Fury at this moment, so you take Ji Tang, Blood Bat No. 1 and Sword Girl, and divide your forces with me to pursue them.”
Speaking of this, Qing Yu seemed to remember something and laughed lightly, “I have also received news that the Buried Sword Peak has emerged and they seem to be pursuing the Monk of Great Destruction as well. Jian Su, you should be looking forward to meeting up with them, right?”
Expectation? Naturally, I was expecting it. As an experimental subject of the Buried Sword Peak, one of Xuan Yin Jian Su’s wishes in life was to one day go up to the Buried Sword Peak and bury them once and for all.
Now, being able to say hello in advance, the Xuan Yin Swordsman felt that his heart, which hadn’t had any ups and downs in a long time, was a little off-balance.
“My subordinate, I am looking forward to it.”

At the border of Lingzhou, a handsome scholar wrapped in a turban with red lips and white teeth marched to a roadside tea stall carrying his parcel and called out, “Shopkeeper, a bowl of hot tea.”
“Here you are!”
The weather-beaten tea owner, who looked to be in his fifties, poured the scholar a cup of tea and asked, “This gentleman, are you going to Lingzhou? It is not always peaceful in Lingzhou now, so you should be careful. Although there is a truce between Great Qian and the King of Zhenshan, there is no guarantee that war will start again at any time.
“Oh?” The scholar laughed lightly, “The shopkeeper is quite knowledgeable, he knows about the relationship between the Great Qian and the King of Zhenshan.”
“Hey~ Living in Lingzhou, you have to know more, don’t you? If there’s a war, I’ll be able to run away early. Don’t you think so?” The tea owner laughed as he carried his teapot.
“Is that so? Thank you for the reminder, then.”
The scholar drank the tea down in one go, not caring that it was hot. After finishing his tea, he placed a copper coin on the table and simply walked away.
After he left, the tea owner looked at the scholar’s departing back with deep thoughts in his eyes, his heart spinning with unspoken thoughts.
But before these thoughts could emerge, the tea owner’s body, together with the teapot he was carrying, suddenly turned into a puff of flying ash and pa*sed away with the wind.
“Amitabha Buddha, rest in peace, monk.” As the young scholar walked along, he whispered a Buddhist hymn with a look of compa*sion on his face.
Shortly after he left, two large and three small bald heads descended from the sky. The youngest bald head was holding a Buddhist dharma in his hand, his eyes opening and closing with a golden glint as he scanned the surroundings.
Eventually, his gaze rested on the spot where the tea owner had disappeared, “Amitabha Buddha, it’s the aura of silence. It seems that the Great Extinction Zen Master has moved his true energy here.”
“Further ahead in Lingzhou is Qingzhou, could it be that Zen Master Daimei wants to enter Qingzhou, or the southern border?” The Great Monk Heart Boat said.
“No matter what, we must recover the Silent Destruction heritage,” said another great monk, Xin Zhu, “The Silent Heavenly Demon came from my temple in the first place, and now that the Silent Zen Academy has been destroyed, the Silent Fury must not fall into the hands of the demons.”
“Yes extremely, let’s go.”

“Lord Sheriff God, the Silver Seal Shadow Sheriff who stayed at the border of Ling Zhou has lost contact with the dark sheriff, Zu San. The dark sheriff went to investigate the scene and found that Zu San was completely lost, no one was seen alive and no body was seen dead.”
In Department Six, the newly appointed Divine Constable Mei Jun reported to Ning Wuming.
The Four Gentlemen were originally the ones in charge of the secret arrests, and now that Mei Jun had taken up the post of Divine Constable, the secret arrests were still under the Four Gentlemen.
“If even they can’t find them, then the person who killed Feng San must be an expert of the True Dan realm or above.” Leng Mad Tu said.
The Silver Seal Constables were all Divine Origin realm martial artists, and to erase the existence of a Divine Origin realm martial artist without a trace, only an expert of the True Dan realm could do so.
Of course, it was rumoured that Gong Zi Yu could also do it back then. But the crowd all knew who Gong Zi Yu was, and they would not believe that there was a second Divine Origin realm in the world that could compare to him.
“Rumour has it that the Great Destruction Zen Master of the Silent Zen Academy is secretly travelling to the south ——”
Ning Wuming said, “Mei Jun, just a*sume that this person is the Great Destruction Zen Master and spread the news of his entry into the Spiritual State. Regardless of whether or not the one who wiped out Zhou San is the Great Destruction Zen Master, those forces that are looking for the Great Destruction Zen Master will head to Lingzhou.
The state is so vast that they can have a good fight. If one or two Tong Shen die, it will be much easier for us.”
Nowadays, all the powers in the world had complicated relations and all their grudges were not shallow. Ning Wuming was still worried about not having the chance to trigger these complicated relationships, and here was an opportunity that came to his door.
Anyway, Ning Wuming was about to press the Great Destroying Zen Master onto that man’s head, regardless of whether he was real or not.
