Chapter 198

Jiang Yan sighed and shook his head:

"This is the flying sword condensed by Master Mo Yixi's true essence sword intent that he left for all the direct disciples."

"This sword contains a sword intent of Master Mo Yixi. Once released, cultivators at the peak of Refining Qi into Spirit will be easily beheaded."

"But it is also a one-time thing."

"Junior Brother Xuan Xing... if he had used this sword back then, how could he have ended up like this?"

Zhongli took out the flying sword cautiously and asked doubtfully:

"Since that is the case, why was Senior Brother Xuan Xing unwilling to use it?"

Jiang Yan's eyes were complex, looking at this flying sword, and many strange memories suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Back then, Master Mo Yixi violated the rules of Shushan because of private feelings and was locked in the Demon Locking Tower to reflect for a hundred years."

"If Junior Brother Xuan Xing had used this flying sword, Master Mo Yixi would definitely have known, and he would inevitably have forcibly broken the seal and left."

"At that time, he would have committed a greater rule violation and would inevitably be dismissed and suppressed."

"Junior Brother Xuan Xing was afraid of this, so he would rather die than let Master Mo Yixi continue to violate the sect rules."

Hearing this, everyone felt melancholy.

Looking at Xuan Xing's corpse, they also felt heartbroken.

The master was willing to continue to violate the rules to break out and save the disciple, but the disciple was also willing to die calmly to protect the master.

Regardless, Xuan Xing was a person of love and righteousness.

To save his junior sister, he went into the trap alone, and to protect his master, he was willing to die even though he had a way to live.

"Sect Leader, can Xuan Xing be brought back to Shushan for a thick burial?"

Zhongli asked softly.

Jiang Yan nodded slightly:

"Yes, bury him on Longshou Peak. As for this sword..."

"It was left by Junior Brother Xuan Xing for future Shushan disciples. You are the current acting head of Longshou Peak, so you can keep it."

"If I'm not mistaken, there are other relics of Junior Brother Xuan Xing here."

"The cultivation method of Longshou Peak should also be among them. You guys sort it out and take it all."

Everyone looked at the space ring in the skeleton's hand and the package on the side.

Strictly speaking, they made a fortune this time, but they felt unhappy.

Jiang Yan looked at everyone and said softly:

"This exploration of the Nine Nether has encountered many major events, and the harvest is quite substantial. Now the Nine Nether is also a bit turbulent, so you might as well return first."

"Come back and take a look in a week."

Hearing this, everyone didn't object and nodded.

Their harvest this time was quite substantial.

Zhongli and the three harvested two great demons, as well as the treasures in the space rings brought by the great demons.

Ganyu harvested the Azure Phoenix, and others also obtained many spiritual herbs under the guidance of the Azure Phoenix.

Overall, it was still very rich.

But now Zhongli and the three were seriously injured and difficult to recover, and the Seven Kings of the Nine Nether were frantically searching for their traces.

They also brought Xuan Xing's corpse and the Azure Phoenix.

It was really not suitable to continue exploring.

Greed is not good; they could digest this harvest for a long time after going back.

So, everyone began to pack up the things in this space.

Xuan Xing didn't have many things, mainly some spirit stones and that package.

There were many herbs that had lost their spirituality in the package, as well as some bottles and jars, which should be pills.

Just don't know if they had lost their spiritual energy after so many years.

Besides that, there was a top-grade spirit weapon sword and a jade talisman.

Spirit stones could be exchanged directly, but Zhongli didn't intend to move the sword.

This was Xuan Xing's final relic.

Although Xuan Xing might not mind future generations obtaining resources to move forward from the place where he fell.

But Zhongli couldn't get past that hurdle in his heart.

He planned to bury Xuan Xing on Longshou Peak, and then place this sword and the flying sword left by Mo Yixi aside.

At the very least, he could let him sleep with these final thoughts.

Before long, everyone had finished packing.

Although the harvest was rich this time, everyone's mood was not very good.

Mainly because they encountered Xuan Xing's skeleton at the end, which made them feel sad.

Jiang Yan didn't say much, just saw that everyone was ready, and Ganyu was holding the Azure Phoenix in her arms.

He said softly:

"Use your disciple tokens to connect to the Nine Nether Secret Realm channel, and you can leave the Nine Nether."

Everyone didn't hesitate. Now the Nine Nether was turbulent, and staying for an extra minute might bring additional danger.

It was better to leave as soon as possible.

Although they came and went in a hurry this time, overall, it was still very worthwhile.

Before long, a deep gate opened, and everyone took a look at the Nine Nether Secret Realm.

Zhongli personally dragged the box containing Xuan Xing's skeleton, and a vigorous flame flickered in his eyes.

"Wait until I break through to the peak of Refining Qi into Spirit, return to the Nine Nether, and I will definitely clear the Seven Kings, kill the Green Wind Cow, and avenge Senior Brother Xuan Xing and the many seniors who fell in the Nine Nether!"

After saying this, Zhongli didn't delay time and crossed the Nine Nether Secret Realm gate to leave.

Others followed closely.

When it was Ganyu's turn, Ganyu looked at Jiang Yan suspiciously.

"Sect Leader, are you not leaving with us?"

Jiang Yan smiled and shook his head, saying softly:

"This divine sense is almost exhausted, and there is no need to return."

"I still have one last thing to do, and there is a big guy waiting."

As soon as the voice fell, Jiang Yan looked back and said softly:

"Ganyu, go, the person I'm waiting for has arrived..."

Ganyu pursed her lips, held the Azure Phoenix, and crossed the gate to leave.

Jiang Yan's divine sense had long been transferred to a few pieces of superior spirit stones. Relying on the spiritual energy of these spirit stones, he could still move freely for a while.

This period of time was enough.

After the Nine Nether Secret Realm gate closed.

Outside the cave, footsteps also came.

After a moment, an old sigh sounded.

"It seems that the old man is still a step late..."

Jiang Yan's mouth curled up, echoing:

"Not late, I am waiting for you."

Jiang Yan stared at the white-haired old man at the cave entrance. The latter was a bit panicked as soon as he saw Jiang Yan.

Subconsciously condensed his momentum.

If Venti and the others were here, they would find that the old man's momentum was even stronger than the Snow Beast they had seen before.

Condensed but not released, like a steel needle.

"Don't be nervous, I just want you to cooperate with me to complete some simple Q&A questions. You should cooperate, right, Qingfeng?"

Jiang Yan took a step, and his illusory figure appeared before Qingfeng.

The latter subconsciously took a step back.

Looking at Jiang Yan with fear.

Although he saw at a glance that the other party was a divine sense, but...

That also depends on what level of divine sense it is.

The person in front of him was clearly a cultivator of Refining Spirit into Void, and not even a beginner of Refining Spirit into Void.
