Chapter 127

When a sword is drawn, it has a destination; wherever it points, it will slash.

What Seeing Ji You felt in the forest was the sword intent that aimed at Heaven Jianfeng several times, with a very rich killing intent.

As the words fell, Qi Zhengyang's hand suddenly stopped.

His movements for wiping the sword had always been gentle, not touching the sharp sword blade, but at this moment, the deerskin in his hand was cut with a gap.

Qi Zhengyang raised his head and looked at Seeing Ji You quite seriously, with a fierce chill in his eyes.

"Small cleverness will kill people. Some things you shouldn't know, but you insist on guessing, and your life will not be saved."

Seeing Ji You was not afraid: "That just shows that I truly have a clear sword heart."

Qi Zhengyang frowned: "When did you guess it?"

"I felt the killing intent in the first forest, but it wasn't until the third forest that I was sure the Elder wanted to kill someone. But the killing intent was flickering and uncertain, as if he didn't know who to kill, especially that 【Thought Si Wu Xie】, which weakened inexplicably at the end. Thinking about it, it wasn't to kill me."

Qi Zhengyang continued to wipe the sword: "That 【Thought Si Wu Xie】 was meant to be half a point weaker at the end; it had nothing to do with you."

Seeing Ji You nodded: "It indeed had nothing to do with me, but Junior feels that Elder Qi didn't want to harm Yan Shujing, so he changed the sword intent in advance, because the Elder knows the disciple is innocent, and the guilty one is Heaven Jianfeng."

As the sentence fell, the residence instantly fell silent.

But following that, sharp killing intent was gradually seeping out, as if it were a sign that someone was about to die.

Qi Zhengyang is an Elder of Heaven Jianfeng, but Seeing Ji You repeatedly said his sword pointed at Heaven Jianfeng; logically speaking, he should have been beheaded by now.

But after that killing intent roared for a while, it gradually stopped, and no sharp sword was truly swung.

"There are many people in the ruins who shouldn't have died, and my son is the same."

"He had mediocre talent, his cultivation aptitude was also average, and he only loved chess, but he was forced into the ruins by people from Heaven Jianfeng and died there."

"I was in seclusion at the time, and by the time I knew the news, I had lost the chance to strike."

"Later, several Elders of Heaven Jianfeng sent their own sons, saying they wanted to show filial piety to me, but I knew what they wanted was my sword Dao."

"At that time, all the Zheng family members were also dead, and I didn't know who to draw my sword against."

"But if a son's revenge is not avenged, wouldn't it be a waste of being a father?"

"When I set up the Sword Forest, I originally wanted to slaughter all of Spirit Sword Mountain, but in the end, I thought it through. Those people are innocent. Today I can only strike one sword, and I must kill the one who deserves to die the most."

Qi Zhengyang's voice was very calm and very restrained.

Just looking at his expression, no one would know that this Heaven Jianfeng Elder was about to settle a debt for his son's death with Heaven Jianfeng.

Only those who could truly see through his sword intent could know where his sword pointed.

Qi Zhengyang only felt it was a pity at this moment, a pity that this person was a disciple of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, and the sword Dao he had studied deeply all his life could not be passed on to him.

But at least, he had passed on four swords, not letting everything he achieved in this life go to waste.

"You have already learned three swords, leave."

"I thought the Elder told me these things because he felt that he was going to kill me to silence me anyway, so chatting was just chatting."

Qi Zhengyang didn't even raise his eyes: "Since my sword is already out of its sheath, your words cannot be faster than me."

Seeing Ji You did not leave, but instead found a cushion and sat down: "I escaped from the ruins, and I also saw Heaven Jianfeng people ordering their sect members not to retreat, even though everyone knew there must be a conspiracy."

Qi Zhengyang spoke after a long silence: "Whose fault do you think this is?"

Seeing Ji You pondered for a moment and replied: "No one should die for someone else's greed, unless they were greedy themselves..."

"My son was never greedy!"

"Then it's all Heaven Jianfeng's greed, damn it."

Qi Zhengyang's gaze suddenly became deep, and then he muttered: "That's right, it's Heaven Jianfeng."

Seeing Ji You looked at the sword, and the topic suddenly turned: "But the Elder still has a wife and daughter, and the Qi family still has other clansmen. Now, burning both jade and stone will only bring greater karmic retribution. Elder Qi taught me three swords, which can be considered as my teacher in sword Dao. I came here this time to persuade the Elder to think twice."

Hearing this, Qi Zhengyang looked at him again.

Seeing Ji You was wearing Yan Shuyi's previous sword robe, and because it couldn't close, it revealed his full chest muscles, which made people unable to bear looking directly at it.

"So it wasn't me who dragged you here just now, it was you who wanted to come yourself. No wonder you didn't struggle at all."

"If I hadn't discovered where Elder Qi's sword intent was pointing at the end, I would have run away directly after breaking the forest. After all, I am a Heavenly Tian Shuyuan disciple, and I never thought about taking the Elder as a teacher. I came here with the Elder just to say some clumsy opinions."

"I have heard many such clumsy opinions."

Qi Zhengyang placed the sword on his knees and spoke: "Everyone knows I have clansmen, and everyone says this matter is all the Zheng family's fault, the Chen family's fault. I also pretended to agree, but in the end, I still couldn't restrain my sword heart."

Spirit Sword Mountain's sword Dao seeks straightness, clean and direct.

So once a thought arises, even the person himself finds it difficult to suppress.

After the ruins incident happened, everyone said they wanted to settle accounts with the Chen family and the Pill Sect.

But in Qi Zhengyang's view, the ones who truly need to be settled with are those who knew there were tigers in the mountains but insisted on making their sect disciples go to the tiger mountain.

Every time he thought of his son, his guarded sword heart would stir, unable to persuade himself to reconcile with Heaven Jianfeng.

Seeing Ji You spoke again after long consideration: "If the Elder strikes now, I'm afraid it will only result in the crime of betraying the sect, being reviled by ten thousand people, and then no one will remember, and your sword Dao will decline."

"So what? I have avenged him after all, it will just be bitter for my clansmen, and my wife and daughter..."

The Azure Cloud World has Immortal Sects above, and families standing below, which is a foundation but also a shackle.

Just like when exploring the ruins, Wen Zhengxin, Ban Yangshu, and Pei Ruyi knew they were going to their deaths, but they still had to go.

But Qi Zhengyang's sword is too straight; it can hide from the heart, but it cannot hide from the sword.

For the past half month, his sword heart has been on the verge of falling into the devil's path, and the killing intent simply cannot be restrained. The reason he has lasted until now is that he doesn't know how to settle his wife, daughter, and clansmen.

"If you were me, what would you choose?" Qi Zhengyang suddenly looked at Seeing Ji You.

Seeing Ji You sat on the ground and pondered for a long time: "On the way here, I also considered a lot, thinking from your perspective, and felt that there seems to be a path that can both avenge and be worry-free."

Qi Zhengyang looked at him with great interest: "What path do you have in mind for this old man?"

"The Immortal Sect is powerful, private grudges are hard to avenge, and I fear it will harm my family. If I were Elder Qi, the only choice might be to abandon Heaven Jianfeng and assist Profound Jianfeng."

"Because in my view, that little Inspector is the future of Spirit Sword Mountain, and can also make Heaven Jianfeng's greed fall through."

"When I came to question the Dao with my sect, I heard a story on the mountain, saying that Spirit Sword Mountain's little Inspector doesn't like being an Inspector, and used to be so angry that she wanted to sink the Spirit Mirror into the Profound Sea."

"But later, she heard that people from Profound Jianfeng were always bullied by Heaven Jianfeng, so she never mentioned throwing away the mirror again, and imprisoned herself on the mountain peak, becoming the fastest Responding to Heaven realm cultivator of the current age."

"The Elder's daughter is on the mountain, and the nephews in the family should also be on Spirit Sword Mountain now. If the orthodoxy returns to Heaven Jianfeng in the end..."

Seeing Ji You paused here and did not continue, pursed his lips and said: "People have always had to die, either lighter than a feather at this moment, or heavier than Mount Tai in the future."

Qi Zhengyang frowned upon hearing this: "The Yan family are all jackals from the same lair, I will not believe them again."

"But Profound Jianfeng has no dead people. Spirit Sword Mountain's little Inspector let the disciples under her retreat early, not allowing them to die in vain, and the reason she was around the ruins at that time was because a few disciples were lost on the mountain, and she went down the mountain to find them herself."

Seeing Ji You looked at Qi Zhengyang and spoke with resonance: "My sword is the straightest, it should not be used to betray the sect, but should be used to protect the Dao."

He had gnawed on the little Inspector's hoof and held her in his arms for a long time.

If she whimpered and wanted to marry him in the future, she couldn't marry into the Questioning Dao Sect, so he had to find a way to help her guard the mountain.

The perfection of the Upper Five Realms is the strongest combat power under the orthodoxy, even the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan only has five.

When he felt that killing intent in the third forest, he guessed that Elder Qi must have had a rift with Heaven Jianfeng.

So breaking the fourth forest hard was not entirely for the sake of face, but also because he wanted to see this Elder Qi, killing three birds with one stone.

He is a sword guest who steals swords, and also a Heavenly Tian Shuyuan disciple who cares about face.

But there should be no one who knows that he is also a lobbyist for Profound Jianfeng.

Qi Zhengyang looked at him and suddenly fell into silence, then raised his head again: "You know the little Inspector of my Spirit Sword Mountain?"

"I have always admired her."

"Still a lecher..."

Seeing Ji You coughed: "Admiration is one thing, but in the final analysis, it is because I don't want Elder Qi to die in vain, making those who care feel pain and those who hate feel happy. Although the little Inspector is alone and weak, she is the orthodoxy of Spirit Sword Mountain. Regardless of name or righteousness, Elder Qi's future sword strikes will be more upright than they are now."

Qi Zhengyang muttered the phrase "making those who care feel pain and those who hate feel happy," and after a long while, his eyelids twitched: "Then how long do I have to wait? Do I have to wait until I die of old age?"

"It won't be too long."

"You speak quite easily."

"Elder, everyone says this world is going to be chaotic, so the Barbarian race has started attacking Cold Iron Pass, and the Demon race also suddenly wants to trade with the human race after a thousand years of closing the country. Under such a situation, Heaven Jianfeng will definitely not be able to endure the loneliness and will strike to seize the orthodoxy."

As the words fell, Qi Zhengyang's sword let out a clang, and the whole person fell into silence.

A person with a clear sword heart can feel the changes in sword intent, just like at this moment.

After a long silence, Qi Zhengyang suddenly raised his eyes and looked at him: "You didn't say you wanted to learn the sword when you came here, but instead you kept talking about unrelated things. I am quite curious about what you actually want?"

"I don't want anything, I just have a kind heart that likes to help others, and I always want to manage some injustices in the world."

"Tell the truth."

"I want to choose a good sword to give to a woman, but I keep picking and picking and feel they are all too poor."

Qi Zhengyang looked at the sword in his hand: "You want my sword? It's a pity, this is my life-bound spirit sword, it cannot be given to others."

Seeing Ji You smiled and thought to himself, no need, I have already found a good sword for her.
