Chapter 83: Heroes from All Sides

Heroes from All Sides

At the end of the green duckweed, the sword wind suddenly rose. In the void of the energy field, this sharp and incomparable sword intent suddenly stabbed out, as if even the heaven and earth were slashed open. All three people on the scene felt locked by the sword intent, and warnings flashed in their hearts, knowing that if they were slashed by this sword, they might be pierced through the body by the sword intent and directly hurt the Dao foundation.

The three responded very quickly. Li Pingyan patted his chest, and a bright pearl suddenly lit up, slowing down the sword intent coming toward him. His body method was excellent, his body turned into an escape light, dodged the locked sword intent, and did not flee, but shot toward the source. Ruan Ci pointed her hand, the Raising Pan Ring fell off her hand, grew with the wind, turned into a long jade cong, and covered her. The sword intent slashed into the jade cong, and it was like falling into silt, failing to pierce through directly, but was gradually swallowed and dissipated.

As for Qin Fengyu, her cultivation was the highest, and she didn't use magic tools. She bent her right hand and pinched it, as if a bird was pecking for food, leaned back, pecked forward, and caught the sword intent in her hand. Her entire forearm seemed to turn into a bird body, and spiritual flowers were sprinkled from her elbow, like long tail feathers. Her middle finger, ring finger, and little finger shook constantly, and the bird beak simulated by her thumb and index finger trembled slightly, then bit down fiercely, as if biting the sword intent to pieces and swallowing it. After a while, she dissolved the sword intent into nothingness.

Her left hand flipped again, took out a small mirror, and blew a breath of spiritual energy. The blue light on the small mirror trembled, emitting bursts of light. Where the light shone, the energy field seemed to fall into a state of stickiness, but the actions of Ruan Ci and Li Pingyan were not affected. Ruan Ci turned the Raising Pan Ring back into a jade ring and said, "Go!"

Yang Panhuan followed closely behind Li Pingyan and quickly caught the sword intent that was still chasing him, trapping it within. The two women followed Li Pingyan as he darted forward, but they still could not find any clues within the aura field. The three of them flew for a while and gradually came to a stop. Ruan Ci summoned back the Yang Panhuan, held it in her hand, and examined the wisp of pale white sword Qi that was darting left and right. She mused, "This sword Qi is full of spiritual intelligence. For a Foundation Establishment disciple to be able to nurture their flying sword to have such intelligence is no easy feat. I have met several sword cultivators in the South Zhuzhou who were also disciples of the Mao Sect; their sword hearts were clear, but once their sword Qi left their bodies, it would dim within three breaths at most. The sword Qi this person released has lasted for a stick of incense, yet it has not lost its intelligence. Either he has a special technique, or like me, he carries a treasure gifted by someone else that contains sword Qi exceeding the Foundation Establishment realm."

Speaking of sword Qi, she is naturally an expert. Li Pingyan said, "This person does not have the intention of fighting to the death, he only issued one sword."

The two women agreed. Qin Fengyu looked at Ruan Ci, and Ruan Ci understood, saying, "The three of us have defensive means. One sword can't kill, and we can't win if we fight again. His cultivation is not as deep as Yu Niang's. If one strike misses, he will fly away, otherwise he will eventually fall into Yu Niang's hands."

Li Pingyan reacted quickly, "In this way, he is alone."

Qin Fengyu is at the perfection of Foundation Establishment. In this Zhou Tian, her personal combat power should be number one, but two fists are hard to beat with four hands. If that person gathered more than a dozen late Foundation Establishment cultivators and led them here to fight to the death, the result would be hard to say. Ruan Ci nodded, thoughtful, "Alone, one sword misses, flying ten thousand miles away, could it be a disciple of the Qinglian Sword Sect?"

Although she was out for training for the first time and had not been in the sect for long, she was not ignorant of the major sects in the Central Continent after reading "Tian Zhou Du" in Junping Mansion for three years and having the memory of Fifth Cang. Li Pingyan grew up in the area of the Jinbo Sect, and after several training sessions after Foundation Establishment, he should not have been too far away. He was not as familiar with this Sheng Sect as Ruan Ci, so he asked, "Are the disciples of the Qinglian Sword Sect always acting like this?"

Ruan Ci said, "Most sword cultivators are lonely. After all, they don't rely on external objects, only cultivate the sword heart. Except for the treasure medicine for promotion, they have no desire for treasures and spiritual medicines, and they like to conquer. Whenever they see a strong enemy, they want to go up and seek a battle, and temper themselves in the battle. Especially the Qinglian Sword Sect is the most. Strange thing is..."

She originally wanted to say, the strange thing is, the Qinglian Sword Sect didn't seem to come to the Central Continent to find the Donghua Sword. I don't know why. But she held back and didn't say it, waved her hand, "If it is the Qinglian Sword Sect, there is nothing to say. He doesn't need a reason to attack us. If he finds that we are not the enemy of one sword, that sword just now would have killed us all. Since we can resist, he will not fight three with one, and now he should have left. As long as we are all in one place, he will not come back."

As for the Hengze Jade Dew, sword cultivators are even less interested. They come to the Hengze Heaven for training just because the strongest disciples of various sects gather here, which is suitable for them to seek a battle. For Ruan Ci, since he is not competing with her for the Hengze Jade Dew, she has no interest in searching for him to fight. Sword cultivators are best at attacking, and Ruan Ci is not sure that she can kill this person without using too many bottom-of-the-box means.

Although it was only a momentary confrontation, thinking carefully, as long as one person reacted slowly, they would suffer damage. The three had experienced many battles and would not shake their minds, but the interest in chatting had been swept away, so they didn't stay outside. Li Pingyan came forward to rent adjacent courtyards for the two women, set up a restriction formation disk, and discussed in the room why the two women still couldn't integrate into the Hengze Heaven. In the Hengze Heaven, Mao Sect, En Sect, and Ping Sect cultivators joined forces against Sheng Sect cultivators, which is the general trend. Ruan Ci knew this, and didn't want to contact Li Pingyan so early, so as not to embarrass him, but she and Qin Fengyu still couldn't talk to local residents, and needed a trusted companion to deal with trivial matters. At this time, she said helplessly, "Why is this, I can guess a little, but the reason cannot be told to you. Once told to you, you will not be able to integrate."

She couldn't help but think of Xie Yanhuan, True Person Wang, and even Wang Panpan, thinking that they also had many things they didn't tell her, not because they didn't want to, but because they couldn't.

Li Pingyan pondered, "In fact, this is not unsolvable, but in this way, the spiritual materials you get will be less than others, but in the competition for Hengze Jade Dew, it may be advantageous. The three of us can act together. As long as Hengze Jade Dew manifests and falls into someone's hands, the three of us will join forces to compete. Two Junior Martial Sisters can see more clearly in the energy field than us, and can take the Jade Dew directly. At that time, I will snatch the Jade Dew, and then transfer it to Ci Junior Martial Sister."

Ruan Ci said, "This will owe Senior Martial Brother Li a very heavy favor."

Li Pingyan laughed, "If I want to pretend, I will say this is to thank you for your repeated help in Huang Shoushan, but I am too lazy to be so artificial—not bad, if so, you owe me a big favor, and you will have to find a way to pay it back in the future. At that time, I don't know how much price I will have to pay."

He is different from Qin Fengyu. Qin Fengyu is an assistant sent by the sect, and the remuneration is naturally found by True Person Wang. If Li Pingyan gets the Jade Dew, this Jade Dew will naturally be dedicated to the Shangqing Sect by the Jinbo Sect in the future, but the benefits the Shangqing Sect has to pay are more than just a little bit of private transfer between two small cultivators. Ruan Ci said, "If we are always unable to integrate, we have to do this. We will see when the time comes. If there are fewer people left, there is no other way."

"This kind of favor is indeed hard to owe." Li Pingyan also smiled, "But your huge debt is my opportunity. It seems that I should hope that you can't think of other ways."

Qin Fengyu was amused, and Ruan Ci couldn't help but laugh, secretly thinking, "Actually, Senior Martial Brother Li is also a person who can joke, but I don't know why he is a bit serious in front of Senior Martial Sister Meng. Probably because he is afraid that he is too casual, Senior Martial Sister Meng will love him more deeply, and it will be hard to end. Sigh, the person who likes him the most, but can't see his truest side, is this love?"

She appreciates Li Pingyan very much. Although his cultivation is not as good as Qin Fengyu's, and his identity is not as special as hers, his combat power is at the bottom. But for those who cultivate the Dao, everyone walks their own path. In Ruan Ci's view, the front and back on the Dao path sometimes cannot represent everything. Li Pingyan is capable and adaptable, and can come up with proper methods in the blink of an eye. He has remained calm through several changes in Huang Shoushan, and most importantly, he is neither humble nor arrogant to Sheng Sect disciples who are stronger than him, and has always taken care of Junior Martial Brothers and Sisters who are weaker than him. Therefore, Ruan Ci is also willing to cooperate with him, laughing, "I hope we all have good luck."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the alliance had already been formed. At the moment, they began to calculate the situation in the Hengze Heaven. Li Pingyan said, "The Hengze Heaven tide has lasted for twenty days, and the tide that rolled us in has gradually stopped. There should be no more people coming in. There are nearly a thousand cultivators in the Qingcheng Gate. I have seen, and heard people say, that more than a hundred have died in the disputes, and four or five hundred are about to completely integrate into the Hengze Heaven. For us, it will no longer be a problem."

There are still three or four hundred cultivators who have not taken the treasure medicine, and there is still a possibility of getting the Hengze Jade Dew, all of which are potential opponents. Li Pingyan said, "According to the records, the opening period of the Hengze Heaven is about a year, and the Jade Dew will only manifest in the last three months, and the location is also very ethereal. If it is in the depths of the Hengze Heaven, the journey back to the shore exceeds three months, then everyone will fail this time. However, such things are relatively rare. Most of them manifest in prosperous places."

There are still seven months of time, is it just endless mutual slaughter? But it is not. This month is the time point for cultivators to enter the Hengze Heaven one after another, and it is also the time for everyone to gradually absorb spiritual energy and integrate with the Hengze Heaven. After cultivators enter the door, they are all near the eight-color city gates. When they can talk to residents, most cultivators will find ways to pass through the city gates to the depths of the Hengze Heaven. There are many cities there. Cultivators must use the identity of outsiders to seek positions in the cities, enter and exit near the cities, remember the mountains and rivers, familiarize themselves with the city's aura, and only then can they sense the change in the aura when the Hengze Jade Dew manifests in the ninth month.

Naturally, this tests the cultivator's spiritual sense. If the spiritual sense is sufficient, you only need to stand in the air and sweep it, and you can remember the surrounding aura. Then this cultivator can travel around the cities without stopping. The larger the territory you walk, the more auras you remember, the greater the probability of sensing the Hengze Jade Dew. When the ninth month comes, he will travel back, only need to carefully observe the changes in the aura, and he will know where the Jade Dew manifests, and then find clues to pursue it.

However, the Hengze Heaven is so vast that you can't even walk it once in a year, let alone travel around. So some cultivators wait for work, just waiting for the Hengze Jade Dew to return at the eight city gates, and then take action to seize it. Who can get the Jade Dew in the end depends not only on strength, but also on opportunity and luck. Even if a sect sends more than a dozen disciples to guard at the eight city gates, showing a posture of winning, it is possible that this Hengze Jade Dew manifests in a desolate place and no one gets it, or it is lost in a dangerous place during the competition, and no cultivator can take it out. It is even more possible that it is obtained by a disciple with roots, who collects the spiritual treasure and completely suppresses the Jade Dew aura, pretending to be a person who has nothing to do, deceiving everyone, and returning to the Langhuan Zhou Tian safely.

Disciples who go to the Hengze Heaven are not all trying to seize the Jade Dew. Some just want to enrich their knowledge or seek treasure medicine. As long as they are not interested in Jade Dew, most of them return to the eight city gates before the ninth month to wait for the tide to return. They come to the exit before the Jade Dew manifests, so even if Sheng Sect disciples compete, it rarely affects them. It can be said that the Hengze Heaven trip is just a small fight in the first nine months, at most Mao Sect and En Sect cultivators, relying on Sheng Sect disciples being a bit raw, kill and eliminate a few, and then there are some common battle deaths during adventure. The real big crocodiles are hidden, waiting for the Jade Dew to manifest before taking action. In the last month, the eight city gates are the most murderous. Most people are busy with their own affairs in the first nine months. After all, they have to prepare for returning empty-handed. It is not easy to cultivate here, and they cannot waste nine months of time in vain, doing nothing. Even if it is to travel to the depths of the Hengze Heaven, it is good.

Li Pingyan has gradually integrated into the Hengze Heaven, and originally planned to break into the Qingcheng Gate in the near future to explore the depths of the Hengze Heaven. Ruan Ci and the two women cannot integrate into this place. Theoretically, they can only wait at the Qingcheng Gate for nine months, but Ruan Ci wants to go to the depths of the Hengze Heaven to take a look. Li Pingyan said, "To enter the city gate, there are two ways. First, take treasure medicine, completely integrate into this place, and buy a road guide from the locals. Second, like us, the breath has merged, and we can barely talk, but we are never the same way. To pass the city gate, we have to break through. You two..."

He frowned, clearly not very optimistic, but didn't persuade, just said to see tomorrow. The two discussed and decided, and Li Pingyan said goodbye. Ruan Ci held her chin and thought about her heart for a while, her heart moved, and said, "Ah, it's past midnight—"

Before she finished speaking, Qin Fengyu gasped a long breath, as if finally alive, shouting, "Suffocated to death! God! The feeling of using up the thousand sentences early is so painful! Even if my arm was cut off, it wouldn't be more painful than today!"

She was carried away by success, chatting with Ruan Ci early in the morning, and later pretending to be a fat sheep. She finished a thousand sentences before meeting Li Pingyan, and could only forcibly suppress herself. Now that it was past midnight, she couldn't wait to pull Ruan Ci and say dozens of sentences. Ruan Ci said, "I advise you to wait until tomorrow to use it, otherwise when Senior Martial Brother Li speaks, you can't answer, clearly three people are standing, but only two people are talking, you will be uncomfortable again."

Qin Fengyu was reminded by her, immediately closed her mouth, turned and walked toward the bedroom. At the door, she looked back and said, "Junior Martial Uncle, Senior Martial Brother Li's idea is very appropriate, but I am afraid that I will talk too much and forget it later, so I will tell you first—if I am separated from you, or if I am dead, then you had better not use this plan, and change to another way. I think so, what do you think?"

She spoke about her possible death, her expression was very calm. The light fell on the top of her head, and Qin Fengyu's fine hair was clearly illuminated, like a red peach that had just been picked. Ruan Ci looked at her, couldn't help but smile, and said, "Okay, if I really want the Hengze Jade Dew, I will remember your words."

Qin Fengyu wondered, "Don't you want it?"

Ruan Ci said, "I want it, but if you die here, then, by that time, what I want most is not the Hengze Jade Dew, but to avenge you. So by then, where I am, what I am doing, and whether I will compete for the Jade Dew, it is hard to say, isn't it?"

Qin Fengyu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a bit shy, turned her back holding her face, and shouted, "Hate! Junior Martial Uncle is sweet-talking, you were not like this before—did you learn bad from someone?"

She stomped her feet and ran out. Ruan Ci laughed and shouted, "Hey! But I am sincere!"

"I know," Qin Fengyu suddenly stretched her head out from the wall and smiled sweetly. "I believe in Junior Martial Uncle!"

Her face was like a peach blossom, and she smiled from her eyes. "I tell you, Junior Martial Uncle—between Grandmaster and you, I like you more!"
