Chapter 351: Zixuan

Following the sound echoing through the entire city, most of the countless human cultivators raised their heads rapidly, looking toward the firmament.

Only to see that on the firmament, a figure walked out from the clouds and mist at the end of the Taichu Liyou Pillar.

This person was middle-aged, wearing a majestic official uniform, wearing a blue sky inlaid with silver hat, wearing purple scale-sticking gloves on both hands, and carrying a large sword wrapped in black cloth on his back, only revealing the hilt.

Following his walk out, behind him, three huge abysses like vortexes actually manifested.

Any one of these three abysses was like a heaven and earth phenomenon, shaking all directions. At the same time, it seemed that each contained a secret treasure within.

Faintly, shrill roars and bellows emanated from these three secret treasures, as if great fierce existences were suppressed within, emanating bursts of terrifying fluctuations.

Heaven and earth changed color, wind and clouds rolled backward. At the moment of taking action, this person raised his right hand and punched toward the distant sky.

Following the strike, the three secret treasures behind him exploded, gushing out sky-filling rosy light, forming countless flying swords, densely spread between heaven and earth, forming a torrent.

Within it, every sword emanated heart-shaking power, as if it could tear the firmament and shatter the void. At this moment, all of them charged, rushing toward the distant sky.

At the same time, a roar emanated from the distant sky. A blurry figure manifested on the horizon, as if it had been hiding before, but at this moment, under the fluctuation of the aura, it couldn't continue to hide and revealed its true body.

This was an extremely ugly fierce beast.

To be precise, it was more like a huge maggot. Its body, with layers of flesh and skin stacked together, was a full thousand zhang in size, permeated with mucus, exuding an unpleasant fishy stench.

It also had two tentacles on its head.

Each of them had a head growing on it, one male and one female, with cyan skin and red eyes. The roar was precisely emanated by them at the same time.

The tail was raised, and on it, there was actually another head.

It was an old man. At this moment, his expression changed, and he rapidly spat out a piece of black mist.

The mist spread, enveloping his body, making his retreat speed faster.

But it was still too late. The next instant, countless flying swords whistled and approached, piercing through this ugly fierce beast.

No matter how it blocked, it was to no avail. In an instant, its body collapsed under the lethality of the flying swords, falling apart, miserable to the extreme.

Only the three heads raised black mist, fleeing rapidly toward the distance.

But obviously, this was wishful thinking. The moment the fierce beast's body collapsed, the official-uniform Sword-Holder walked over. His speed was so fast that he approached in an instant. Raising his right hand, countless flying swords gathered, directly forming a long sword emanating cyan light in his hand.

One sword fell, the female head collapsed.

The second sword, the male head exploded.

The third sword was flicked by that official-uniform Sword-Holder. Immediately, this sword flew out and transformed into a cyan great dragon, roaring and swallowing the last old man's head into its mouth in one bite.

After doing this, heaven and earth were silent, and all the cultivators on the ground were shocked in their minds.

"Recently, my Sword-Holding Court has been ordered to suppress the Three Spirits Mountain and capture Youjing to the case, so some demons and ghosts have active thoughts, frequently coming here to probe."

In mid-air, the official-uniform middle-aged man spoke calmly.

"Then, I will say the rules of my Sword-Holding Court again. This place is a forbidden area for foreign races; non-humans must not step in!"

The official-uniform middle-aged man raised his right hand, formed seals, and pointed at the Taichu Liyou Pillar. Instantly, the Taichu Liyou Pillar trembled, and a heaven-shaking battle intent was no longer suppressed from within, exploding with a boom.

Carrying the killing of extinction, carrying the domineering evil, it expanded rumblingly in all directions.

Violent fluctuations rose in the sky for ten thousand li, destroying everything. The earth was also like this. This battle intent carried divine sense, sweeping across all cultivators.

It seemed to be screening, while shocking all the cultivators who were paying attention to this place, there were also banging sounds echoing between the city and heaven and earth. Hundreds of people in the city suddenly exploded, dying instantly.

There were also seven or eight places in the sky that were the same, emanating shrill screams.

After everything was over, heaven and earth were clear.

After doing this, this official-uniform middle-aged man walked toward the firmament without looking back, stepping into the clouds and mist in one step, disappearing without a trace.

The earth was silent, until after a while, gasps and exclamations came. Xu Qing also took a deep breath. The Captain on the side was also the same.

That divine sense had also swept across them just now. Even if he knew he was human and there would be no problem, Xu Qing was still terrified under the coverage of that divine sense. What made him even more shocked was the domineering nature of the Sword-Holding Court.

That official-uniform middle-aged man's cultivation base was obviously at the Spirit Collection Realm, not Void Return, but the moment he walked out and took action, the ancestor of each sect who arrived in the city seemed to be suppressed by him in terms of momentum.

"What suppressed the sect ancestors was not this person's cultivation, but his identity."

Human orthodox, one of the five Upper Xuan Departments, Sword-Holding Court!

Until another stick of incense time passed, the cultivators in the city recovered. Most of them revealed intense light in their eyes, and many couldn't help but look at the end of the Taichu Liyou Pillar.

That place was the headquarters of the Yinghuang Prefecture Sword-Holding Court.

The Sword-Holding Court's action this time made the disciples of various sects who arrived have a strong yearning for the Sword-Holding Court, especially the Captain, who was even more so. He even began to fantasize about himself becoming a Sword-Holder.

And Xu Qing, although also moved by becoming a Sword-Holder, valued the vibration of the Taichu Liyou Pillar just now even more.

The moment the pillar vibrated before, Xu Qing clearly felt the Ghost Emperor Mountain in his sea of consciousness shaking as well. At the same time, dozens of runes actually emerged from the Ghost Emperor Mountain.

These runes exuded intense battle intent. Xu Qing was lost in thought after perceiving them.

"Could it be the battle spiritual seal the Captain mentioned? It seems it is indeed very easy to obtain, not difficult."

Xu Qing thought about it, but he wasn't very sure if these runes were the spiritual seals the Captain mentioned.

However, he felt that this thing could be taken out.

Thus, he raised his hand, and with a thought, one of the dozens of spiritual seals disappeared from his sea of consciousness and appeared in his palm.

Light shone, and the battle intent emanated even more intensely. To Xu Qing's feeling, this spiritual seal could be used as a technique, possessing a certain lethality.

"Big Brother, is this the battle spirit..." Xu Qing turned his head to look at the Captain, asking, but before he could finish, the Captain, who was fantasizing about becoming a Sword-Holder, suddenly stared blankly.

"Battle spiritual seal? When did you sense it? This thing is very... simple, not bad not bad, it can add points." The Captain was stunned, but soon reacted, pretending to be relaxed.

"Just now when the Taichu Liyou Pillar vibrated, they appeared in my sea of consciousness." Xu Qing nodded. A doubt arose in his heart. The Captain's reaction made him feel something was wrong.

And often at this time, it was really wrong.

The Captain coughed, suppressing the sourness in his heart, and laughed.

"Little Ah Qing, your aptitude is not bad, but compared to me, it is still a bit worse. I actually sensed this thing successfully too, just now, so you must remember, don't be proud. One is nothing, I sensed five, did I say anything? Because you need to sense nine to add points!"

Xu Qing felt the dozens of battle spiritual seals in his sea of consciousness and didn't speak, guessing that the difficulty of sensing this spiritual seal should not be what the Captain said before.

"Alright, you continue sensing, I'm going to find the Ancestor." The Captain said, about to leave here, preparing to find a place to sense it. Xu Qing sensing one so easily made him feel great pressure.

Especially when he thought of himself saying this sensing was simple before, if he didn't succeed in a short time, he would be lifting a rock to hit his own feet.

Watching the Captain's figure, Xu Qing was in a pleasant mood and turned to walk toward the residence.

Soon after arriving, he arranged things around, and only then sat cross-legged to study this spiritual seal.

He knew why so many spiritual seals appeared all of a sudden. This matter had a direct connection with the Ghost Emperor Mountain. After all, both sides were of the same origin to some extent.

Just like this, amidst Xu Qing's research, time passed, and three days passed in a flash.

On the night of the third day, Huang Yikun came.

He was obviously very reluctant. After coming, he handed a jade slip to Xu Qing, threw down a sentence, and ran away rapidly.

"The Ancestor asked me to give it to you!"

Huang Yikun's Ancestor was naturally Zixuan Shangxian.

Xu Qing took the jade slip hesitantly, was silent for a long time, his divine sense fused in, and immediately his mind surfaced Zixuan Shangxian's charming voice carrying a sense of laziness.

"Little friend, do you miss sister?"

Xu Qing remained silent.

"I like the gift you gave me before you left very much."

Xu Qing raised his head, looking in the direction of the Taichu Liyou Pillar. He felt that the Captain should have gone there.

"I also saw the letter you gave sister. You, usually you can't tell, but when you write a letter, the words are so bold... Didn't you say you want to be strong, don't want to hear gossip, and it's not easy for us to meet too much in the sect, so you hope to communicate by letter and let me reply to you? I asked Huang Yikun to send it to you."

Xu Qing's eyes widened abruptly.

"In addition, looking at the fact that you pleaded for Chen Erniu so much in the letter, and even didn't hesitate to promise me so many things, regarding Chen Erniu's matter, let it be. I won't calculate with him for the time being, but don't forget the things you promised me."

Xu Qing's breathing was rapid.

"This time I will listen to you and not go to the Taichu Liyou Pillar, so you take care of the people of the Xuanyou Sect."

"Then come back as soon as possible... As for the way you asked me to address you in the letter, little friend, you are so good at it, but this matter is not possible yet. Let's see your performance in the future."

Xu Qing's forehead veins bulged. He was silent for a long time. After calming his emotions, he took out the bamboo slip, found the Captain's name on it, and fiercely crossed out the question mark behind it. ===== CHAPTER 352 =====

Huang Yikun's ancestor was, naturally, the Immortal Zixuan.

Xu Qing hesitantly picked up the jade slip, remained silent for a long while, and then merged his spiritual sense into it; immediately, the charming voice of Immortal Zixuan, carrying a sense of laziness, surfaced in his mind.

"Little friend, do you miss your big sister?"

Xu Qing remained silent.

"I really like the gift you gave me before you left."

Xu Qing raised his head and looked in the direction of the Taichu Liyou Pillar; he felt that the Captain must have gone there.

"I also saw the letter you gave to your big sister. You, you usually don't show it, but your words in the letter were so bold... Didn't you say that you wanted to be strong and didn't want to hear gossip, and that it wasn't easy for us to meet too often within the sect, so you hoped to correspond by letter and have me reply to you? I had Huang Yikun deliver it to you."

Xu Qing's eyes widened abruptly.

"Besides, in consideration of you pleading for Chen Erniu like that in your letter, and even going so far as to promise me so many things, let's just forget about the matter regarding Chen Erniu. I won't hold it against him for the time being, but don't you forget the things you promised."

Xu Qing's breathing grew rapid.

"This time I will listen to you and not go to the Taichu Liyou Pillar, so please take care of the people from the Xuanyou Sect for me."

"And come back as soon as possible... As for the way you asked me to address you in your letter, little friend, you are quite something, but that won't do for now. We'll see how you perform in the future."

The veins on Xu Qing's forehead bulged. After a long silence and calming his emotions, he took out the bamboo slip, found the Captain's name on it, and fiercely crossed out the question mark behind it.
