Chapter 138: Ability of the Sword Messenger

Ability of the Sword Messenger

The Wugou Sect is, after all, a prosperous sect. Even though the mountain gate is extremely strange, the mountain-protecting array covers a considerable area. From the market outward, one can vaguely see the crisscrossing roads; it seems this array can reach the mortal kingdoms in the distance, making the whole thing a unified entity, unlike the Shangqing Sect or the Jin Bo Sect, where the mountain gate, market, and mortal kingdoms are separated into three locations. The group easily found an uninhabited mountain peak and landed. Qi Yueying said, "Since we cultivators are sparring, we cannot act recklessly. Let this mountain be the boundary; if we harm the living beings outside the mountain, it will count as a loss."

She pointed, and the mountain suddenly roared with birds and beasts. I don't know how many ignorant birds and beasts were taken out by her and went into the spiritual beast bag. This spiritual beast bag was measured by spiritual power. These mortal beasts, even if they were loaded with many, didn't matter.

She was a Golden Core cultivator, and her cultivation should be the highest among the guests present. Everyone naturally wouldn't object. The female cultivator from Fanghe Hall also smiled, "I didn't expect the Profound Heaven Sect to be so kind-hearted, considering it so thoughtfully, which is not like the usual style."

She glanced at Ruan Ci, seemingly mocking what she did in the Jin Bo Sect. Ruan Ci's heart moved, and she thought secretly, "Yue Niang is indeed meticulous. She knew the unhappiness I caused in the Green Jade Bright Hall because of Yingying, so she drove the birds and beasts away first."

Ruan Rong also seemed to think of this, and looked at Ruan Ci with beautiful eyes, with some smiles, pulled out her sword and leaped into the air, smiling, "Please, Ming benefactor, give me advice."

Ming Niangzi looked at the precious sword and didn't step forward immediately. Ruan Ci said from afar behind Ruan Rong, "Ming benefactor, are you afraid that my sister is using the Donghua Sword?"

Her tone had some mockery. Ming Niangzi was squeezed by her, so she could only leap forward, called out "Benefactor be careful," turned sideways and pinched the formula. Everyone felt the aggressive aura rushing toward them. Her dagger rippled with precious light, as if it had plundered all the aura between heaven and earth to the edge of her blade. Even Ruan Ci couldn't help but call out "Good," and praised Qi Yueying, "Not bad for a Sheng Sect protection, it really has some fame."

Qi Yueying was also very nervous, watching the field closely. Clearly, if Ruan Rong had a slight mistake, she would take action to separate the two. Although her mind was meticulous, it was precisely because she was too meticulous and cautious that she always seemed a bit overly anxious.

Ming Niangzi's knife was quite similar to Shen Qi's sword slash. As long as the aura was superior, one slash would be enough, with no consumption. The side whose cultivation was suppressed had no chance to fight back and would be taken away immediately. Ruan Rong smiled, seemingly unaware of the danger. She flipped her left hand and held out a small chime. She sheathed her precious sword and flicked her finger. A peaceful meaning rippled out, suppressing the precious light of the dagger. Everyone was brushed by that precious light and also felt a peaceful and calm heart, unable to raise the desire to compete. After a while, their faces changed.

The young man exclaimed, "This is the Profound Heaven Sect's Wind and Wave Flat small chime, your master actually brought it for you?"

He paused and said, "You can actually drive it!"

His tone was quite surprised. Even Ruan Ci was not without surprise: this treasure, after being driven by Ruan Ci, could broadcast its power to this extent. It was definitely not a magic tool, but a magic treasure imitating the Wind and Wave Flat. Ruan Rong's cultivation at early-stage Foundation Establishment could actually drive a magic treasure, which was an anomaly. Even Ruan Ci, who had no opponents in the Foundation Establishment stage, had never thought of finding a few magic treasures for herself to use. Magic treasures were not only expensive and rare, but also had half the result with twice the effort if the cultivation was insufficient to force them, and were not as good as handy magic tools.

However, Ruan Rong used this Wind and Wave Flat small chime with ease. After one knock, her expression was still natural, but she had already destroyed Ming Niangzi's offensive momentum. That Ming Niangzi was also straightforward, immediately turned to defense, retreated and said, "Sword messenger, you have such a magic treasure with you, then what are we fighting for? I can't do anything to you, you can't do anything to me, let's count it as a draw, how about it?"

It wasn't that she was timid, but the fighting between cultivators was just like this. The fighting in the aura field was the main thing. Like this kind of fighting, others would restrain their own aura, allowing the two to compete alone in the field. And Ming Niangzi's cultivation was much higher than Ruan Rong's, and her aura was even more prosperous. Ruan Rong couldn't occupy the advantage in the field, but with the small chime for protection, Ming Niangzi found it very difficult to turn the advantage into victory. If it were a life-and-death fight, naturally it wouldn't be like this, but for fighting, it was enough to stop and call it a draw.

She had already shown the intention to retreat, but Ruan Rong refused to give up. Her jade face showed a smile, and her left hand flipped again. The small chime was taken away, and a small bell appeared in her palm. She said leisurely, "Benefactor, wait a step. I didn't say I couldn't do anything to you."

After speaking, she flicked her finger, and the bell body trembled lightly. With a muffled sound of 'hum,' the peaceful and calm meaning was replaced by moving waves and stormy waves, sweeping toward Ming Niangzi. Ruan Rong held the bell steadily, standing firmly in the center of the storm, her clothes fluttering behind her, her fairy posture elegant, looking like a god. But Ming Niangzi's face changed drastically, retreating in a mess, avoiding the place where the waves were most prosperous, pulled out a long pen, pointed several times in the air, and retreated the aggressive aura, and even wrote seven "fixed" characters in a row, but it only slightly reduced the waves, and finally had nowhere to retreat, retreated into a dead corner in the field, and was attacked by the moving waves.

Because it was agreed beforehand to take this mountain as the boundary, the aura field was also invisibly bounded by the mountain line. At this moment, Ming Niangzi had already escaped to the edge of the mountain boundary. Everyone couldn't see it, but they could still observe the aura waves, wrapping Ming Niangzi's aura into it, and also falling into that uneasy movement. Invisibly, they seemed to hear the sound of bone friction and Dao foundation trembling in the body, which made people very uncomfortable. Ruan Ci also sighed secretly, "This Wind and Wave Rising Bell is indeed a treasure of killing. If the main body is knocked, wouldn't it cause a space storm? General Foundation Establishment cultivators compete, always separating aura confrontation and magic power operation, and cannot compete in reality at the same time. And once this Wind and Wave Rising Bell is knocked, that uneasy meaning is emitted at the same time, and reality and reality immediately fall into chaotic wind and waves, and the boundary is not so clear. This is indeed a magic treasure that Golden Core can try to drive. I really don't know how Sister Rong knocked it, and she used two treasures in succession. This magic power is scary."

Compared with the power of the Wind and Wave Rising Bell, what everyone cared about more was this point that Ruan Ci thought of. The young man's face was already pale, muttering, "Wind and Wave Rising... she can actually use two magic treasures at the same time, could it be... this is the sword messenger?"

He looked at Ruan Rong with fear, seeing Ruan Rong looking over from the dust, her expression neither happy nor angry, retreated a few steps, and actually called out, "Sword messenger, I was wrong. Sword messenger, please don't hold it against me! This trip to the Cold Water Swamp, I won't go!"

Saying this, he turned and turned into light and left. The escape light was extremely fast, and in an instant, he crashed into the mountain-protecting array, even if he wanted to stay, he couldn't. It made Ruan Rong unexpected, shook her head slightly, her face showing a smile, which was another amazing sight—in the cultivator, handsome men and beautiful women were not rare, but if someone could be like Ruan Rong, who could drive two magic treasures at the early stage of Foundation Establishment and hold a universe-level spiritual treasure, then in addition to the peerless appearance, there was another layer of captivating fairy spirit, which was naturally a matter of course.

After the competition, how could it continue? When the remaining waves of the bell dissipated, Ming Niangzi flew back slowly, with blood stains on her seven orifices, clearly injured, and also admitted defeat straightforwardly, "I underestimated the junior sister, it was my fault. Now I have to return to the sect for treatment. If we meet again in the future, I will ask for advice again."

She called a girl from the crowd, and the two flew away. The rest of the people stepped forward to congratulate Ruan Rong. Ruan Rong responded with a smile. Ruan Ci called, "Who else wants to compete, say it quickly, otherwise we will let all the little animals out."

In fact, she didn't care much about the life and death of these wild beasts, but Qi Yueying considered her intention and handled it this way. Ruan Ci naturally had to accept her favor.

Song Crown Prince smiled and said, "Ci aunt, you have already scared one away, who else dares to come forward?"

He and Ruan Rong should have met just now, but he hadn't greeted Ruan Ci yet. Ruan Ci was happy to see an old friend, but didn't have time to say a few words. Ruan Rong had already found Ruan Qian. Everyone also knew the interest, letting the three brothers and sisters walk to the side to talk, while the rest stayed in place. Qi Yueying released birds all over the sky, and Seng Yu also rushed here to ask everyone about the details.

The three brothers and sisters met after a long time, and the joy was naturally different. But because of the scene, it was not good to reveal too much. Ruan Ci was about to ask about Ruan Qian's whereabouts. Ruan Qian said, "My affairs, talk about it when I have time later. In short, I am quite safe in the temple now. What's going on with you, are you really going to the Cold Water Swamp?"

The Buddhism of the Central Continent all originated from one sect, so they were always friendly and close. Ruan Qian was not because he wanted to go to the Cold Water Swamp, but stayed here with his fellow apprentices. The others were all a group of people, two of whom were going to the Cold Water Swamp. The others were all doing good and practicing Zen in the Wugou Sect, also adding some experience and looking for the opportunity to realize.

The Buddhist lineage, the inheritance is very different from the Profound Gate, but there are some secret methods that are the most effective. When Ruan Qian first opened the meridians, his heart meridians were damaged. Such a serious injury, in the Qi Refining stage, could never cultivate the flawless golden body. Such a disciple, in the Sheng Sect, could almost only sadly end up, and it would be good to be an outer sect manager. But now it seems that Ruan Qian's blood and energy are stable, and his cultivation is not bad. Although the sickly look on his face cannot be waved away, being able to come out for experience with the Forget-Worry Temple disciples shows that he is valued in the sect. Ruan Ci was also very happy for him, so she said, "This trip to Han Yuze is a must, but Brother Qian doesn't have to worry about us. This trip should be able to return safely."

Ruan Qian was very skeptical, frowned and said, "You are in the Profound Heaven Sect, and you haven't heard the wind outside. The Donghua sword messenger went out to handle errands for the first time, with only two people following. I'm afraid it's not enough. Furthermore, Rong aunt was too unstrategic just now. These people invited you to fight, one is to see how you have refined the Donghua sword aura, and the other is to force out your trump cards, so as to make corresponding arrangements. The Cold Water Swamp is not a very closed place. Anyone can go, and can go at any time. It just depends on whether the sect guarding the Cold Water Swamp lets people in. Your first battle here is to reveal two magic treasures, so naturally others know what kind of cultivators to send to deal with you." 【13

These words also voiced Ruan Ci's thoughts. Losing this battle would certainly be a loss of face, and if it spread, it would invite ridicule, but winning also had its own hidden dangers. For example, the young man from just now, who fled in such a hurry—while it was certainly because he feared Ruan Rong would take his life, who knows if he wasn't going back to the mountain to report? And then there is Miss Ming from the Fanghe Hall, who used her own injuries to trade for two of Ruan Rong's trump cards; she looks disheveled, but who knows how pleased she might be inside.

Ruan Rong sighed, "Brother Qian, I naturally know this too. However, if everyone acts within the rules, these two magic treasures are enough to deal with them and make them retreat in the face of difficulties, which can also avoid many subsequent troubles. If they do not act according to the rules, then Master also has her own ways to deal with it. They were able to enter Hanyu Ze, could it be that our Shangqing has no one?"

Ruan Qian's doubts were finally cleared, and he asked a few more questions about Ruan Ci's days in the mountains, but he did not mention the past in South Zhuzhou at all, nor did he ask in too much detail, as if he were not very familiar with Ruan Ci. He did not even mention how he arrived at Wangyou Temple, nor did he ask how Ruan Rong drove the two magic treasures. After talking for a few sentences, he turned his head to call the Song Crown Prince over to reminisce. Seeing him like this, Ruan Ci felt a little sad and thought to herself, "Brother Qian is probably helpless too. Sigh, they say blood is thicker than water and never fades, but after not seeing each other for decades, it has indeed become much more distant."

Thinking that if Ruan Rong had not been taken back to the Central Continent by the Shangqing Sect that day, but had remained in South Zhuzhou, when the sisters reunited after hundreds or thousands of years, the friendship of those short ten-plus years from a thousand years ago would probably not be as rich as it is today. It is precisely because both sides are in the same sect that, although they rarely see each other, they know in their hearts that they are looking out for each other. Only then could she and Ruan Rong be far more intimate than with Ruan Qian. She could not help but sigh softly and think, "When love is deep, it is like Senior Sister Meng towards Senior Brother Li, turning a hundred times without changing her will; when love is thin, it is like a piece of paper, blown away by a single breath. After all, for cultivators, not seeing each other for hundreds or thousands of years is a common occurrence. It is not like mortals who see each other every day and meet every year. Even if the feelings are intense, they can endure not seeing each other for decades; after hundreds of years, they should have forgotten everything upon returning. Like my husband, counting it up, it has only been three or four years, and I can hardly remember several of his faces."

Although she felt a bit troubled by the distance between the siblings, the situation was such that she sighed lightly, put on a smile again, walked up, and said, "Crown Prince brother, it has been a long time. Are you also going to Hanyu Ze? We happen to be going the same way, let's go together."

The Song Crown Prince smiled slightly, gave her a wink, and looked toward Ruan Rong. Ruan Rong's beautiful eyes rippled, she hummed, and walked to the side, as if she had not seen the Song Crown Prince at all. Ruan Qian and Ruan Ci looked at each other and both laughed. Ruan Ci said, "Aiya, sister is still angry with you. Have you apologized to her yet?"

As the few of them talked, they sat down on the treetops. The Song Crown Prince told the story of how he entered the Dao one by one and apologized to Ruan Rong. Because of this, the three of them learned many secrets of the past in South Zhuzhou.
