Jiang Yan sighed and shook his head:

"This is something left by Senior Uncle Mo Yixi to all his direct disciples, a flying sword condensed with Senior Uncle Mo Yixi's True Qi sword intent."

"This sword contains a sword intent of Senior Uncle Mo Yixi; once released, cultivators at the peak of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation will be easily beheaded."

"But it's also a one-time thing."

"Senior Brother Xuan Xing... if he had used this sword back then, why would he have ended up like this?"

Zhongli took out the flying sword carefully and asked in confusion:

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

Jiang Yan's gaze was complex, shaking his head, looking at this flying sword, many strange memories suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Back then, Senior Uncle Mo Yixi violated the Shushan sect rules because of private feelings and was locked in the Demon Locking Tower by the Seven Sages Elders to reflect for a hundred years."

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

"At that time, it would have been a bigger violation of the sect rules, and he would inevitably have been dismissed and suppressed."

"Senior Brother Xuan Xing was probably thinking of this, so he would rather die than let Senior Uncle Mo Yixi continue to violate the sect rules."

Hearing this, everyone felt melancholy.

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

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

No matter what, Xuan Xing was a person of affection and righteousness.

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

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

Zhongli asked softly.

Jiang Yan nodded slightly:

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

"It was left by Senior Brother Xuan Xing for future Shushan disciples; you are the current acting head of Dragon Head Peak, so you can naturally keep it."

"If I'm not mistaken, there should be other relics of Senior Brother Xuan Xing here."

"Dragon Head Peak's cultivation method 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 had made a fortune this time, but they felt they couldn't be happy.

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 that the Nine Nether is a bit turbulent, you might as well return first."

"After a week, come back and take a look."

Hearing this, everyone didn't object and nodded.

Their harvest this time was quite substantial.

Zhongli and the others harvested two Great Demons, as well as the treasures in the space rings brought by the Great Demons.

Ganyu harvested the Azure Bird, and others also obtained many spiritual herbs under the Azure Bird's guidance.

Overall, it was still very rich.

But now Zhongli and the others were seriously injured and had been 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 Bird.

It was really not suitable to continue exploring.

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

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

Xuan Xing didn't have many things, mainly some spiritual stones and the package.

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

It's just that I don't know if they have lost their spiritual energy after so many years.

Besides this, there was a top-grade spiritual treasure sword and a jade talisman.

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

This was Xuan Xing's last relic.

Although Xuan Xing might not mind future generations obtaining resources from the place where he fell,

Zhongli couldn't pass the hurdle in his heart.

He planned to bury Xuan Xing on Dragon Head 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 last thoughts.

Not long after, everyone finished packing.

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

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

Jiang Yan didn't say much, just seeing that everyone was ready, and Ganyu was holding the Azure Bird 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.

Not long after, 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 the peak of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation, return to the Nine Nether, and I will definitely clear the Seven Kings, behead the Green Wind Cow, and avenge Senior Brother Xuan Xing and the many seniors who fell in the Nine Nether!"

Having said this, Zhongli didn't delay any longer and crossed the Nine Nether Secret Realm gate to leave.

Others followed suit.

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

"Sect Leader, aren't you going 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 words 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 Bird, and crossed the gate to leave.

Jiang Yan's divine sense had long been transferred to a few top-grade spiritual stones; relying on the spiritual energy of these spiritual 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 the old man is a step late..."

Jiang Yan's mouth curled slightly, 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 when he saw Jiang Yan.

Subconsciously condensing his momentum.

If Venti and the others were here, they would find that the old man's momentum was even more powerful 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 quiz 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...

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

The person in front of him was clearly a cultivator of Spirit Refining and Void Returning, and not even one who had just entered Spirit Refining and Void Returning.
