Chapter 128: Blocked by a Small Mountain Rock

No one knew that in Qi Qi Zhengyang's residence built along the mountain, a Heavenly Tian Shuyuan disciple was trying to change the future direction of Spirit Sword Mountain in a few words.

They only knew that after Seeing Ji You entered the residence, the killing intent in the residence flickered and disappeared.

Until more than an hour passed in a flash, a strong sword Qi suddenly roared from the mountain, pure and bright, like a bright moon rising into the sky.

A gale blew through the mountain in an instant, and the Qi shook all the mountains.

Afterward, everyone saw a figure in women's clothing holding a sword with a rolled edge being slashed out of the mountain residence, long hair disheveled and dancing.

Everyone held their breath, and saw that the body, which could not be wrapped by the tight clothes, emitted a masculine spirit, the sound of powerful blood and Qi churning clearly audible, causing everyone to freeze their eyes.

Just before, Yan Ye had meticulously depicted the body of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan disciple, making many people present feel it was strange.

Several people even discovered that even the Xiao Jianzhu's face became increasingly heavy after hearing it.

Until this moment, when the youth roared out and felt that scorching spirit, did they know that what Yan Ye said before was indeed not false.

Afterward, a sharp voice came from the mountain residence, echoing on the mountaintop without any emotion.

"A Heavenly Tian Shuyuan disciple dares to learn the sword Dao of my Spirit Sword Mountain? Come again next time, and be careful of losing your life."

"I thought Spirit Sword Mountain was truly as the world says, with unparalleled sword Dao; I didn't expect the water content to be so high. I wouldn't learn it even if asked, let alone next time!"

Seeing Ji You leaned on his sword, and the previous wound splashed blood again.

Hearing these words, the elders guarding the surroundings immediately changed their expressions: "Ignorant child, how dare you talk nonsense here?"

Sword Dao has always been the signboard of Spirit Sword Mountain's prestige in the world; these words just now truly pierced their lungs.

Seeing Ji You turned his head to look at the crowd, his eyes cold: "A sword forest that even I, a Profound Understanding realm cultivator of which the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan has a large handful, could slash through, yet it let you disciples of the whole mountain fail to pass through a hundred times. When have I ever talked nonsense?"

"You..."

"Or perhaps it is actually that Elder Qi's sword Dao is too weak and doesn't live up to its name, just like You You Buyu and He He Lingxiu are too weak, yet it has nothing to do with the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan."

"?"

The elders looked at each other: "This... this actually has some truth to it..."

Yan Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi looked back at him at this time, her eyes cold and icy: "The matter of asking the Dao ends here. Spirit Sword Mountain will invite the Mountain Sea Pavilion and the Asking Dao Sect to descend the mountain; the result will not be publicized. By the same token, the matter of the Sword Forest is not allowed to be publicized externally, and we will not admit it either."

Seeing Ji You also looked at her angrily: "I, Ji Bochang, have an iron-clad backbone; naturally, I don't need such false fame to cling to. But my Ding Shijie's spiritual energy was almost shattered; what should be done about that?"

As the words fell, countless elders on the mountain immediately gripped their swords, and the killing intent surged instantly.

They felt that this Heavenly Tian Shuyuan disciple was too arrogant after breaking the Sword Forest, or perhaps he didn't know at all who was standing in front of him.

It is true that there is a struggle between Heavenly Jianfeng and Profound Jianfeng, but externally, the little Xiao Jianzhu represents the orthodoxy of Spirit Sword Mountain.

Such an offense by a Profound Understanding realm Heavenly Tian Shuyuan disciple, in their view, was a crime deserving of death.

Yan Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi subconsciously looked at the chest that couldn't be tightly wrapped, and only after a long time did she come back to her senses and cast aside her beautiful eyes: "I never supported the sect's disciples entering the ruins. They did not obey my imperial order; the siege was naturally a private act of recklessness. What does it have to do with my Spirit Sword Mountain?"

The Xiao Jianzhu is angry...

The elders had solemn faces, thinking to themselves that the Xiao Jianzhu's voice had become thin from anger.

"Then my Senior Brother and Ding Shijie deserve to swallow this breath?"

"Spirit Sword Mountain will not bow its head, but since you have the ability to slash through the Sword Forest, perhaps you can make those disciples who ignored my imperial order and fought privately admit their mistakes?"

Yan Ye, Yan Yan Qingchi, and a group of elders looked at each other, frowning and pondering for a long time.

The Heavenly Tian Shuyuan came to ask for an explanation, but lost both battles. I'm afraid they won't publicize the fact that they were besieged in the ruins from now on.

Having the disciples who led the team bow their heads in the name of private fighting, and pacifying those disciples down the mountain so they don't go out and talk nonsense—this seems to truly be the best arrangement.

"The Xiao Jianzhu is..."

"The Xiao Jianzhu already has the momentum of an Abbot; she is no longer the willful girl she was back then."

Seeing Ji You looked at the sword he had dropped, pondered for a long time, and then looked up: "But my sword is also broken."

Yan Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi looked at the sword on the ground: "So what if your sword is broken?"

"My sword was slashed and broken by people from your Heavenly Jianfeng. Shouldn't there be compensation for damaging other people's property?"

"?"

Hearing this sentence, all the elders on the mountain were trembling with anger, cold sweat all over their bodies in the hot summer, hands and feet cold.

You broke into my Spirit Sword Mountain's Sword Forest without permission, and now that the sword is broken, are you asking us to compensate you for the sword?

This is not a Heavenly Tian Shuyuan disciple at all; this is clearly a bandit from a bandit den!

Before Yan Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi could speak, Yan Yan Qingchi was the first to say sternly: "Little Heavenly Tian Shuyuan disciple, stop making trouble here, and descend the mountain immediately!"

Seeing Ji You looked at him: "I am not asking for a sword for myself, but for your Spirit Sword Mountain."

"What?"

"I killed countless disciples of the Asking Dao Sect and have a private grudge with them. After descending the mountain, I might be forced to draw my sword. If I can't take out a sword at that time, someone will surely speak sarcastically about why I didn't draw my sword. I can only say it was broken when I slashed through the Sword Forest, which would invisibly publicize the fact that I, a plain Profound Understanding realm cultivator, slashed through the Sword Forest."

Yan Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi raised her eyes to look at him: "You do have a glib tongue."

Seeing Ji You bowed: "Thank you for the praise, Xiao Jianzhu."

"You can have a sword if you want, but the same words apply: rely on your ability. My Profound Jianfeng has countless spirit swords; it just depends on whether you dare to enter my Heavenly Palace to take them."

Hearing this sentence, a group of elders couldn't help but gasp, thinking to themselves that this was looking for a place where no one was around to kill and bury him.

This Heavenly Tian Shuyuan disciple was truly arrogant beyond measure.

The Xiao Jianzhu is already an Abbot status externally, just like the Abbot Dean of their Heavenly Tian Shuyuan. Such a figure, let alone being so confrontational, he probably wasn't even qualified to see her before, yet he dared to talk big here.

Yan Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi turned her head to look at the elders at this time: "Instruct those on the mountain and down the mountain not to discuss this matter too much. The world is uneasy now; having fewer grudges is a good thing. Don't cause extra trouble and invite right and wrong."

"But the Asking Dao Sect and Mountain Sea Pavilion..."

"If they invited other sects to the mountain without my permission, then please have the clan uncle invite them back the same way he invited them."

After the little Xiao Jianzhu finished speaking, she flicked her sleeves and went down the mountain, and Seeing Ji You also bowed to the crowd and followed.

Looking from afar, the two people on the mountain road were one after the other.

The woman's posture was graceful, and she already had an awe-inspiring spirit invisibly, while the man held his head high and chest out, his spirit terrifying as he followed behind.

However, for some reason, this scene seemed to have a feeling of being a match in the eyes of others.

If one didn't know their identities and just met on an ordinary street, perhaps it would make people sigh and call them a talented man and a beautiful woman.

Yan Ye couldn't help but frown: "With the Xiao Jianzhu's temper, plus this reckless behavior of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan that doesn't know etiquette at all, he might not be able to leave Spirit Sword Mountain."

Yan Yan Qingchi shook his head upon hearing this: "The matter of him slashing through the Sword Forest is being spread down the mountain, and the best way to settle the matter is for the discussants themselves to remain silent, not to kill the person. If he truly died without a whole corpse, the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan would really not let it go."

Profound Jianfeng Elder Yan Ru also couldn't help but speak: "That's right, being oppressed again and again will truly ignite the flames of war. Don't think that just because the direct disciple lost, you can look down on the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan. The true foundation of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan is that unfathomable Abbot."

"Although that is so, I think he cannot avoid being taught a lesson."

"That is indeed not false. Give him a few swords, beat him up, and throw him down the mountain; what else can he do?"

At the same time, Seeing Ji You had already left Heavenly Jianfeng with Yan Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi, then chose a small path and entered the dense mountain forest.

This small path was not walked by many people; it was one she found when she strolled through the mountains when she was free from cultivation.

During this time, there was a stretch of lush bamboo, and climbing the mountain, one could see clouds and mist drifting over their heads.

And after moving away from the crowd, Yan Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi, who had been maintaining her posture, relaxed slightly. Her footsteps suddenly became light, but after a while, they became steady again.

Seeing Ji You walked behind, and after walking for a long time, he couldn't help but speak: "Why don't you talk to me?"

"Behave yourself, little Heavenly Tian Shuyuan disciple; I am not familiar with you."

"Regarding the matter of breaking into the Sword Forest, I went because I was sure of it. Why do you need to be so nervous, even bringing the Spirit Mirror to Heavenly Jianfeng, as if you were going to kill someone?"

Yan Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi went blank for a moment, looked back at him: "How did you know I brought the Spirit Mirror?"

Seeing Ji You stepped across the stream under his feet and said: "When I received 【Thinking Without Evil】, I felt a familiar scent, and with the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan's Little Little Tian Shu and Pill, er... in short, there was a scent of a Sacred Artifact."

"You do look carefully, but you misunderstood this Xiao Jianzhu's intention. I was actually afraid that you would ruin the prestige of my Spirit Sword Mountain after descending the mountain, so I planned to shine you to death on the mountain."

"If you wanted to shine me to death, why let me come out of the forest, you stubborn fairy."

As soon as Seeing Ji You finished speaking, he was stepped on by the fairy in front, light and soft.

But it was at this moment of turning her head that the cold Xiao Jianzhu saw his chest open to the outside, her nose almost touching it, so she narrowed her eyes and remained silent.

That was not a bump formed by hard physical training, but rather very well-proportioned, and after the baptism of the Pill Sect's medicine pool, it was very smooth.

"Does it look good?"

"Not good-looking, plain and unremarkable; a slight move could touch you to death, er... beat you to death."

Yan Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi realized she almost said the wrong thing just now, so she raised her eyes slightly, wanting to glare at him to highlight her authority, but instead felt a pair of hands touch her waist.

Then she was picked up, her two delicate feet off the ground.

Because the mountain road ahead was a bit steep, and could hardly be counted as a road, there was a wide rock blocking the way, impossible to bypass.

Seeing Ji You subconsciously wanted to carry her up, so he wrapped his arms around that slender waist.

Don't look at her as a goddess with awe-inspiring prestige, but she was also fragrant and soft when held, light and delicate, and was lifted onto the rock.

The roaring sword Qi made him squint his eyes, but it did not make him pause at all, but there was a woman's fragrance blowing in his face.

"Did you think a small mountain rock could stop me?"

"I didn't think much just now; I just felt the road was a bit hard to walk."

Seeing Ji You stopped and jumped onto the mountain rock, followed her forward, and saw Spirit Sword Mountain's little Xiao Jianzhu full of sword Qi, then stopped at the second wide rock.

【Blocked by a Small Mountain Rock】

Seeing Ji You walked toward her, and saw her two arms raised slightly, but the arc was not large, as if it were unintentional.

So he naturally reached out to support her waist and picked her up, then lifted her onto the mountain rock, very tactfully not exposing her lie in the process.

Because he exposed it in the courtyard last time, asking her if she wanted a hug, and as a result, she never let him hug her again for the next two days. The main point was that she didn't refuse, but she absolutely didn't encourage it.

Afterward, Seeing Ji You continued to move forward with her, but found that Yan Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi had a cold little face, and without a word, changed to another path, circling the mountain to the west for about ten steps.

In front were jagged rocks and dense mountain rocks...
