Outside Muliang City, Xiao Yu placed his entourage in the ruins outside the city and entered the city alone.
Before approaching the city gate, he suddenly stopped and felt a terrifying sword intent emanating from the city, as if he was rejecting people thousands of miles away and all living beings were retreating.
"My foster father has made another breakthrough in his swordsmanship? Could it be that he is already in a fugue?"
Xiao Yu was overjoyed, the sword in the city was extraordinary, it must have surpassed the heavenly realm to kill him!
If there is a Fugue Mysterious Realm standing behind me, why should I be afraid of him, the Aoki Sword Immortal?
So, he excitedly quickened his pace and jogged into Muliang City.
But as soon as he entered the city gate, he couldn't help but frown:
"How is this sword intention different from my adoptive father's?"
Even though they haven't met each other often, the difference in sword intent can still be felt.
Xiao Yu quickened his pace again, inexplicably worried in his heart... If it wasn't his foster father's sword intent, then who was it?
After walking a few steps, I saw a scene that is unforgettable for all living beings.
——A natural moat.
The extremely deep ravine is like a canyon. You can't see the bottom downwards and the end can't be seen forwards. It's like a god cutting a knife on the ground.
And this strange sword intention is emanating from the Sword Qi Canyon.
"No, it doesn't seem very strange..." Xiao Yu frowned, trying to recall this familiar feeling.
As I thought about it, the scene of that day when the sword energy was like a waterfall and destroyed one of my mansions came to mind.
"It's him!"
Xiao Yu was anxious and hurriedly ran to the ancient building where Luo Qingyang often stayed, his face extremely anxious.
It's not a worry about friendship, I'm just afraid that without the help of Gu Jianxian, I will no longer be able to compete with Xiao Chong and Xiao Chuhe.
"No... If it were normal, my adoptive father would be standing in front of me as soon as I entered the city!"
He ran all the way along the Jianqi Canyon, crossing most of Muliang City. When he saw the familiar ancient building reduced to ruins, he couldn't help but feel his heart tremble.
Fortunately, Luo Qingyang was meditating next to the ruins, relying on the remnants of the wandering sword to gain insights, which would help him achieve breakthroughs in swordsmanship.
When Xiao Yu saw this, he didn't dare to disturb him. He could only step back a hundred meters and wait quietly. The sword energy was so powerful that he couldn't rely on him to get too close due to his cultivation level.
While waiting, Xiao Yu noticed the wound on Luo Qingyang's chest - a sword wound that spanned the entire body.
Sword Immortal Aoki is so abominable!
"First cut the dark river and break my wings, then hurt my foster father and chop down my trees!
"Why are you always opposing me?!"
Xiao Yu was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but deep down in his heart, he was more afraid... If this sword that split the sky and split the earth was struck at Tianqi City or at the Red Prince's Mansion, who in the world could stop it?
A strong person in the Xuan Realm, a master who stands at the top of the world, must also have the corresponding master's trump card in order to restrain him.
Fang Ping's series of actions, although he acted for his own sake, inevitably harmed the interests of others.
And Xiao Yu accounts for a large part of this "other person".
...
After long knowing that Luo Qingyang's enlightenment was over, he opened his eyes and stood up slowly.
The whole person's temperament seems to be a little different.
"Father."
"What's the matter, just tell me, but I may not be able to help you," Luo Qingyang said calmly, deliberately letting Xiao Yu see the wound.
The latter said:
"I came to my adoptive father because I have a question and I want to ask for advice.
"When I came here and saw the changes in the city, I became even more confused... Was this done by Fang Ping?"
"yes."
Luo Qingyang nodded simply and did not mention the specific events of that day.
Xiao Yu clicked his tongue and had a lot of thoughts in his heart:
"Father, is there anyone in the world who can match him?"
"You want to find someone to restrain him?" Luo Qingyang noticed something, "Don't think about it, there are only half a hundred masters in the Heaven Realm in the world, and there are only two people in the Xuan Realm who are famous, and they are both from Xueyue City."
Xiao Yu doesn’t want to give up:
"This river and lake does not include outside the territory. What if there is a powerful person in the mysterious realm who is hidden in the world?"
"I won't help you," Luo Qingyang said firmly.
"Understood."
Xiao Yu's expression darkened, he put the matter down and asked about another important matter:
"Father, now Fang Ping is cleaning up the remnants of Anhe, and I have a lot of contact with Anhe, and recently he has been trying to beat me up.
"If there is no master's control, should the underground river line be discarded?"
The first thing I want to say here is to listen to suggestions, and the second thing is to talk about Luo Qingyang's tone. If he has the strength to fight, or will in the near future, he should respond.
"Throw it away for now," Luo Qingyang said, "The dark river is never a good partner. The danger it brings to you is far greater than the benefit. There is no need to hesitate about this matter."
As he spoke, he looked towards the Sword Qi Canyon in the city with a slightly stern look:
"That day, Fang Ping slashed his sword in the city. Although it hurt me, the sword intention left behind helped me master the sword.
"The day when I will enter the trance is not far away. At that time, the underground river can be picked up and continued to be used."
Xiao Yu was overjoyed. This was what he wanted to hear. He also had a backer in the Xuan Realm, so he was not afraid of him at all!
"Okay, I wish my adoptive father will enter the realm of trance as soon as possible. As for the underground river, I know what to do."
The purpose of this trip was to pretend to ask how to deal with the underground river, but in fact to inquire about Luo Qingyang's strength. After achieving both, he returned to Tianqi.
...
At the same time, the Qianjintai banquet is about to begin.
In Qianjintai, all the gambling tables were removed and replaced with nanmu tables and chairs with exquisite carvings. A temporary elevated shelf was built above, covered by a piece of red cloth. I don't know what it is.
"The banquet starts in half an hour, but no one is here," Ye Ruoyi's face was solemn.
No matter what kind of dinner or banquet it is, always arrive early and never rush in. This is a sign of respect for the host.
But now, only one team came - the Fourth Young Master of Tianqi.
"Master Jiu." Ye Ruoyi greeted.
Jiujiudao and his three brothers and sisters came. The waiter at Qianjintai immediately took out the guest list and said loudly:
"The leader of the Three Sects and Nineteen Houses, Mr. Dugu Gugu, has arrived!
"Deputy leader, Hu Dan, here!
"The great shopkeeper of Lanyuefang, Wu Dadai, is here!
"The great shopkeeper of Tianmingzhai, Jiujiu Dao, is here!"
Ye Ruoyi and Lei Wujie were responsible for welcoming the guests and said:
"The four of you are the first to arrive today."
Ninety-nine sighs:
"No one has come to Qianjin Terrace for such a long time. I'm afraid it won't sound good and some people who want to come won't come. So we have to start first."
"Master Jiu is interested."
Afterwards, the four people put down their gifts and took their seats on the Qianjin Platform.
Not long after they entered, two more figures appeared on the street.
One is black and the other is white, the man has a handsome face and the woman has a wooden face. They have swords hanging on their waists, just like Tianhe swordsmen.
Lei Wujie was very familiar with them:
"Sister, Fourth Master!"
Immediately afterwards, the waiter announced the name of the guest:
"The second city lord of Xueyue City, Li Hanyi, has arrived!"
"The four city lords of Xueyue City, Qingmu Sword Immortal, Fang Ping, are here!"
Everyone in the world knows that Li Hanyi doesn't want to be called a swordsman, but he still cannot help but address him respectfully when talking about him.
But Xiao Se remembered it and specifically told him not to call the Second City Lord's sword fairy name.
"Welcome both of you," Ye Ruoyi saluted.
Two Sword Immortal-level figures can always have some influence, right?
