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 unparalleled sword suddenly stabbed out, as if even the sky was cut open. All three people in the field felt locked by the sword intent, and the warning signs in their hearts appeared urgently, knowing that if they were hit 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, dodging the locked sword intent, and did not escape, but shot toward the source. Both Both Ruan Ci pointed her hand, the Yang Pan Ring fell off her hand, grew with the wind, turned into a long jade cong, and protected her. The sword intent slashed into the jade cong, but it was like falling into silt, and it failed to pierce through directly, but was gradually swallowed and dissipated.

As for Qin Fengyu, her cultivation was the highest. She didn't use magic tools, curled her right hand and pinched it falsely, 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's body, and spiritual flowers spilled from her elbow, like long tail feathers. Her middle finger, ring finger, and little finger shook incessantly, and the bird's 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 green light on the small mirror trembled, emitting bursts of light. The place illuminated by the light seemed to fall into a state of stickiness in the energy field, but the actions of Both Both Ruan Ci and Li Pingyan were not affected. Both Both Ruan Ci turned the Yang Pan Ring back into a jade ring and said, "Go!"

Yang Panhuan followed closely behind Li Pingyan, quickly catching the sword intent that was still chasing Li Pingyan and trapping it within. The two women followed Li Pingyan as he darted forward, but they still could not find any clues within the field of influence. The three flew for a while and gradually all came to a stop. Both Both Ruan Ci summoned back the Yang Panhuan, held it in her hand, and examined the pale white sword Qi that was charging left and right. She mused, "This sword Qi is full of spiritual nature. For a Foundation Establishment disciple to be able to nurture their flying sword to have such spiritual nature is not easy. I have met several sword cultivators from the South Zhuzhou who are also Mao Sect disciples; their sword hearts are clear, but once their sword Qi leaves their bodies, it dims within three breaths at most. The sword Qi released by this person has lasted for the time it takes to burn a stick of incense and still has not lost its spiritual nature. Either he has a special technique, or he is like me, carrying a treasure gifted by someone else that contains sword Qi exceeding the Foundation Establishment stage."

Speaking of sword Qi, she is naturally an expert. Li Pingyan said, "This son has no intention of fighting to the death, he only issued one sword."

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

Li Pingyan's reaction was also fast, "In this way, he is alone."

Qin Fengyu is perfect at Foundation Establishment, and her personal combat power in this Zhou Tian should be number one, but two fists are no match for four hands. If that person gathered more than a dozen late Foundation Establishment cultivators and led them here to fight to the death in the formation, the result would be hard to say. Both Both 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 going out for training for the first time and had only been in the sect for a short time, she had watched "Heavenly Boat Crossing" in the Junping Mansion for three years and had the memory of Fifth Cang, so she was not ignorant of the famous sects in the Central Continent. Li Pingyan was different. He grew up in the area of the Jin Bo Sect and had been training several times after Foundation Establishment, so he shouldn't have been too far away. He was not as familiar with this Sheng Sect as Both Both Ruan Ci, so he asked, "Are the disciples of the Qinglian Sword Sect always acting like this?"

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

She originally wanted to say, the strange thing is, the Qinglian Sword Sect doesn't seem to have 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 his enemy for one sword, that sword just now would have killed us all. Since we can resist, he won't fight three against one. Now he should be gone. As long as we are all in one place, he won't 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 are gathered here, which is just right for them to draw their swords and seek battle. For Both Both 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 attack, and Both Both Ruan Ci is not sure that she can kill this person without using too many trump cards.

Although it was only a momentary confrontation, thinking about it carefully, as long as one person reacted slowly, they would suffer losses. The three of them had been through many battles and would not shake their minds, but the interest of chatting was swept away. So they didn't stay outside for long. Li Pingyan came forward to rent adjacent courtyards for the two women, set up formation disks, 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 to target Sheng Sect cultivators, which is the general trend. After Both Both Ruan Ci knew about this, she didn't want to contact Li Pingyan so early, so as not to make him embarrassed. But she and Qin Fengyu still couldn't talk to local residents, and needed a trusted companion to handle trivial matters. At this time, she said helplessly, "Why is this, I can guess a little, but the reason can't be told to you. Once told to you, you won't be able to integrate either."

She couldn't help but think of Xie Xie Yan Huan, True Person Wang, and even Wang Panpan. It seems that they also have many things that they didn't tell her, not because they didn't want to, but because they couldn't.

Li Pingyan pondered, "In fact, this matter is not unsolvable, but in this way, the treasure materials you get will be less than others, but in the competition for the Hengze Jade Dew, it may be advantageous. The three of us can act together. As long as the Hengze Jade Dew manifests and falls into someone's hands, the three of us will join forces to compete. Two junior sisters haven't integrated into this place, and what they see in the energy field is clearer than us, so they can take the Jade Dew owner directly. At that time, I will snatch the Jade Dew, and then transfer it to Junior Sister Ci."

Both Both Ruan Ci said, "In this way, I owe Senior Brother Li a very thick favor."

Li Pingyan laughed, "If I want to pretend, I will say this is to reward you for your repeated help in the Huangshou Mountain, but I am too lazy to be so pretentious—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. By then, I don't know what a big price I will have to pay."

He is different from Qin Fengyu. Qin Fengyu is a help sent by the sect, and the reward is naturally sought by True Person Wang. If Li Pingyan gets the Jade Dew, this Jade Dew will naturally be dedicated to the Shangqing Sect by the Jin Bo Sect in the future, but the benefits the Shangqing Sect has to pay are more than just a little bit of private giving between two little cultivators. Both Both Ruan Ci said, "If we are always unable to integrate, we have to do this. By then, we will act according to the situation. If there are few people left, it is not that there is no other way."

"This favor is indeed not easy 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 Both Both Ruan Ci couldn't help but laugh, secretly thinking, "Actually, Senior Brother Li is also a person who can joke, but I don't know why, he is a bit serious in front of Senior Sister Meng. Maybe he is afraid that he is too casual, Senior Sister Meng loves deeper, and it is not easy to end. Sigh, the person who likes him the most, but can't see his truest appearance, is this love?"

She appreciates Li Pingyan very much. Although his cultivation is not as good as Qin Fengyu, and his identity is not as special as hers, his combat power is at the end. But those who cultivate the Dao, everyone walks on their own path. In Both Both Ruan Ci's view, the front and back on the Dao path sometimes cannot represent everything. Li Pingyan is capable and flexible, and can come up with proper methods in the blink of an eye. He has remained calm through several changes in the Huangshou Mountain. Most importantly, he is neither humble nor arrogant to Sheng Sect disciples who are stronger than him, and can always take care of junior brothers and sisters who are weaker than him. Therefore, Both Both 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 was already formed. At the moment, they calculated the situation in the Hengze Heaven. Li Pingyan said, "The tide of the Hengze Heaven has lasted for twenty days, and the tide that swept us in has gradually stopped. There should be no one else coming in. There are nearly a thousand cultivators in the Qingcheng Gate. I have seen, heard, and more than a hundred have died in the fighting. Four or five hundred will soon be completely integrated into the Hengze Heaven, which will no longer be a problem for us."

There are still three or four hundred cultivators who have not taken the treasure medicine, and they all have the possibility of getting the Hengze Jade Dew, all of which are potential opponents. Li Pingyan said, "According to 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, and most of them manifest in prosperous places. Therefore, even if the sect sends more than a dozen disciples, distributed in the eight city gates to guard, showing a posture of must-win, it is possible that this time the 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, or it is obtained by a disciple with a foundation, who collects the spiritual treasure, completely suppresses the Jade Dew aura, pretends to be nothing, deceives everyone, and returns to the Langhuan Zhou Tian safely."

Disciples heading to the Hengze Heaven are not all trying to seize the Jade Dew. Some are just trying to enrich their knowledge or visit treasure medicines. As long as they are not interested in the Jade Dew, most of them return to the eight city gates before the ninth month to wait for the tide to return. They arrive at the exit before the Jade Dew manifests, so even if Sheng Sect disciples fight, it rarely affects them. It can be said that the Hengze Heaven trip in the first nine months is just a small fight, 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 battles in adventure. The real big crocodiles are hiding, 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 be prepared for returning empty-handed. It is not good to cultivate here, and they cannot waste nine months of time in vain, doing nothing. Even if it is just to visit 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. And Both Both Ruan Ci and the two women cannot integrate into this place. Reasonably, they can only wait for nine months at the Qingcheng Gate, but Both Both Ruan Ci wants to go to the depths of the Hengze Heaven to take a walk. Li Pingyan said, "To enter the city gate, there are two ways. First, take the treasure medicine, completely integrate into this place, and buy a road guide from the locals. Second, like us, the aura has merged, and we can barely talk, but we are not the same way after all. To enter 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 Li Pingyan said goodbye. Both Both Ruan Ci held her chin and thought about her heart for a while, her heart moved, and said, "Ah, it's past midnight—"

Before the words fell, Qin Fengyu gasped for a long time, as if finally alive, shouting, "Suffocated me! God! The feeling of finishing 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, got up early and pulled Both Both Ruan Ci to chat, later pretended to be a fat sheep, and finished a thousand sentences without meeting Li Pingyan, so she could only forcibly suppress herself. Now that it was past midnight, she couldn't wait to pull Both Both Ruan Ci and said dozens of sentences. Both Both Ruan Ci said, "I advise you to wait until tomorrow to use it, otherwise when Senior Brother Li speaks, you can't answer, clearly three people are standing, but only two are talking, you will feel uncomfortable again."

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

She spoke of her possible death, her expression was very calm, the light fell on her head, Qin Fengyu's fine hair on her face was illuminated clearly, furry like a red peach just picked. Both Both 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?"

Both Both 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, suddenly a bit shy, holding her face and turning her back, shouting, "Hate! Junior Uncle is sweet-talking, you weren't like this before—did you learn bad things from someone?"

She stomped her feet and ran out. Both Both Ruan Ci laughed, shouting, "Hey! But I'm sincere!"

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

She was like a peach blossom, laughing from her eyes. "I tell you, Junior Uncle—between the Grand Ancestor and you, I like you more!"
