Chapter 271: This is the Inspection Master's Family Matter

~20 min read 3,860 words

In the whistling mountain forest, the accumulated snow was melted with a hiss by the heavy footsteps.

The flowing snow water flowed constantly, actually having a trend of gathering into a stream.

The disciples in the forest watched coldly as Ji You, who had rushed into the heavy encirclement, carried his sword and walked, like a beast rushing through the mountain forest, his majestic aura constantly rising under the night.

After Bu Qirong was slashed away, eight evil seeds followed, pouncing and killing head-on at this time.

Although they were already physically disabled in the previous mountain attack battle, they still couldn't be underestimated when combined.

Ji You's sword was already trembling, the sword Qi surrounding his whole body shooting straight into the heavens, but he didn't draw his sword immediately at the moment of encounter, but instead shook his fist with a flick of his wrist.

Boom!

The fierce fist wind collided fiercely with those poisonous claws, the explosion shaking the mountain forest.

The evil seed that came head-on was like being hit by a cannon, directly shaken away, causing the eyes of the immortal sect disciples in the mountain forest to tremble wildly.

How strong the evil seed's body was, they already knew in the previous mountain attack battle, so they were dazed when they saw this scene.

And Jiang Yan, Yan Qiubai, and others who had seen it before were a bit better.

Ji You's flesh seemed to be evenly matched with the evil seed, but it was the evil seed that flew out, indicating that the power hidden in his body was almost crushing.

Just at this moment, the sword that had been brewing for a long time slashed down with a circular slash, the vast sword Qi like a bright moon falling.

Amidst the violent air waves, the crowd saw two evil seeds fall to the ground with a screech.

But at the same time, the remaining few had already leaped into the air, poisonous claws falling from top to bottom, the sharp energy directly causing the remaining mountain rock stone chips to fly, white marks appearing, killing intent surging.

The sword had always been a symbol of strength in the Qingyun world, even more famous than the blade.

The fundamental reason was that Lingjian Mountain loved sword Dao and brought its fame to the peak.

But people in the Qingyun world knew that even Lingjian Mountain's sword Dao had weaknesses, which was the gap for the sword wielder to return the sword.

But at this time, no one saw Ji You return the sword, but saw another snow-white sword Qi whistling down amidst the wild dancing sinking waves...

At the same time, the more violent battle was on the periphery.

Following the figure that was as graceful as an immortal constantly waving its hands, endless immortal light fell from the spirit sword, blasting down.

At the same time, the heavy iron hammer smashed down with the wind, shaking the mountains.

And on the other side, baleful Qi mixed with the gale brought by the iron fist pounced over, while the Dao sword and iron blade surged like overlapping waves under the blessing of magic arts.

Here, the Elder of the Chen family immortal clan had his left arm smashed by a punch, the shattered bones supporting out of the flesh in a strange shape.

And that Elder Yan Cang of the Heavenly Jianfeng also had his chest sunken at this time, with blood spots on his chest.

They were the two who were first attacked by the Barbarian race, and their injuries were also the most serious.

Although the Barbarian race's flesh could not compare to the evil seed, they could also resist magic arts after Barbarian-transformation, and the weakness of the human flesh was revealed without doubt at this moment.

However, fortunately, although those old fellows of the Spirit Travel Realm were only five, their individual strength was higher than the Barbarian General Kings, waving like thunder and wind, already causing three of them to bleed from their noses and mouths.

Here, everyone's spirit was tense.

The Barbarian race's desire to escape was already urgent, while the immortal sect Elders were trying their best to kill through the Barbarian race's obstruction.

Just at this moment, the crowd heard a sword Qi rising into the sky from the mountain forest.

In fact, many old monsters in the field didn't know Ji You, but seeing this scene, they couldn't help but reveal a trace of joy.

Bang!

Elder Fang was hit by a fierce iron fist on the blade, the condensed magic arts dissipated with a boom, and his body was knocked back, grinding a deep trench on the ground with his feet.

At this time, he also looked at Ji You, a trace of solemnity flowing in his eyes.

Seeing Ji You wield his sword over with his own eyes, the sword like opening the sky, he was actually astonished.

But in fact, there was another problem he hadn't figured out, which was why Ji You had to kill them.

According to inertial thinking, he felt that everyone who entered the mountain was for the immortal fate; he originally speculated that Ji You wanted to ask something but didn't ask it, but whether it was like this, he didn't know.

At this time, the dazzling sword light was like a thunderbolt in the dark night, tearing the night, whistling down.

Bu Qirong, who had been slashed away just now, had been observing in the mountain forest; at this time, he was horrified and waved his claws to meet it.

The heavy sword Qi felt extremely painful to his finger bones the moment it was blocked.

His strength was much stronger than his son's; even so, he still fought hard with his sharp finger claws, fiercely grinding the sword Qi away, but the web between his ten fingers was also torn with terrifying wounds.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the pitch-black mountain forest, Ji You was like a runaway beast.

Regardless of the consumption of spiritual energy and the loss of energy, his fists and sword roared constantly.

That whole body's spirit was like a monstrous flame, causing all the Elders in the field to change their expressions drastically.

"Not good!"

"?!"

At this time, everyone woke up; this person was not here to catch people, that unsparing sword Dao was fundamentally killing people!

Seeing the situation suddenly reverse, Man Gu roared, his fist energy like a tiger's roar and dragon's chant, almost collapsing the mountain head he passed.

At the same time, Elder Fang also slashed over with a ferocious face, the fierce blade edge instantly splitting the dense mountain forest.

But Ji You, who had his back to them, was still pressing Bu Qirong and beating him fiercely, punching through the mountain cliff with three punches.

He had already considered it clearly just now that he must kill people before they reacted.

Otherwise, once the Barbarian General Kings and immortal sect Elders were vigilant, he would have no chance again.

Seeing this scene, the disciples in the forest instantly opened their eyes wide.

They also didn't know that Ji You was actually here to kill people; at this moment, they seemed to see a scene that was bound to die.

But just at this moment, two figures wearing Lingjian Mountain sword robes escaped from the sky, the already condensed sword Qi surrounding their bodies, like a galaxy hanging straight down, slashing fiercely toward Elder Fang and Man Gu.

The General King Man Gu's fist was fiercely blocked by the rushing sword flow, and at the same time, Elder Fang's iron blade that cut through the air was also "clanged" back.

The two figures landed gracefully, their eyes solemn...

It wasn't just Heavenly Jianfeng that sent people from Lingjian Mountain; Profound Jianfeng also sent people.

Among them were two Elders, one named Yan Chuan and one named Yan De, who had never communicated with anyone and had been paddling all the way.

Because the imperial order they received was to kill, not to catch, but the problem was that the matter of killing seemed to have been done by others.

Yan De gripped his long sword at this time and couldn't help but look at Yan Chuan.

In fact, when the Inspection Master gave the order, she had instructed them to execute it secretly.

Because killing people that other immortal sects wanted was a very offensive thing.

So he didn't understand at all why Yan Chuan suddenly rushed out at this time, still shouting about the bright road ahead; having no choice, he could only follow.

But now, the major immortal sects in front were all eyeing them covetously, making him unable to taste a bit of the bright road ahead.

Most importantly, this kind of timing, this kind of sharp confrontation, would definitely make Profound Jianfeng and other immortal sects become enemies, which was also quite unfavorable for the Inspection Master.

Also feeling incredible, besides the Barbarian race, was everyone else.

The Heavenly Tian Shuyuan wanted to kill Ji You, while Lingjian Mountain made a move to save him; this scene was truly confusing.

"Back in the wilderness, Elder Yan Chuan also took good care of him. Some people say there should be other relationships between them."

Jiang Yan stood in the jungle and couldn't help but whisper.

Hearing this sentence, the surrounding disciples couldn't help but make a sound of "so that's how it is," while she looked at Yan Qiubai.

But what made her feel confused was that Yan Qiubai's gaze was very strange.

And the direction she was looking was not those two Elders, but the Little Inspection Master who was confronting that Barbarian Clan King.

Just at this moment, Ji You's iron fist had already slashed down fiercely.

Bu Qirong, with a sunken chest, did not sit and wait for death, but supported a punch at the moment the baleful Qi condensed, fiercely giving Ji You a heavy blow.

But the next instant, his eyes instantly froze, revealing a trace of astonishment.

His claws cut through the other party's flesh, but it was difficult to pierce in again, instead almost being shaken by the brute force of his collision, his hand bones almost breaking.

Life and death matters were like this; one wrong step would lead to wrong steps at every step.

His claw didn't make the other party retreat, and what he got in exchange was Ji You suddenly gripping the long sword, the whistling sword Qi making the sword body tremble wildly.

"I know you also want the immortal fate, I can tell you everything I know!"

"This matter is not known by you alone."

"This matter is known by me alone; this is a god's descent. We are the only ones chosen, and the Bu family now only has me left!"

"Great."

"?"

Ji You's arm bulged until the veins burst, the accumulated spiritual energy filled the sword body, and as the sword intent condensed, the sword body trembled wildly, cutting fiercely into his neck.

Bu Qirong actually didn't know until this moment why there would suddenly appear a person among these people whose purpose was different from everyone else.

However, he figured out one thing, which was why his son, nephew, and those relatives would die one after another. The fear of death caused Bu Qirong to erupt with a strong desire to survive, his hands desperately prying at the sword body that had already cut into his neck.

"What exactly do you want?"

Bu Qirong made a wheezing sound when he spoke, like a leaking bellows.

Ji You looked at him: "What do you think I want? Longer lifespan, higher realm—in fact, none of them. I have no great ambitions; I just wanted to be a bandit at first, and later I entered the immortal sect out of necessity."

"I'm asking you what you want?!"

"I want to farm."

"?"

"I've already endured the matter of immortals eating taxes; I just hope you don't mess around with things anymore. Why don't you know that I just want to lead the common people to farm well and live a better life."

This was a very strange answer, because all cultivators were longing for greater power and longer lifespan.

There would fundamentally be no one saying, I cultivate immortals to farm.

Bu Qirong spat out a mouthful of blood: "Don't understand what you're talking about, but you killed me, neither the immortal sects nor the Barbarian race will let you go; aren't you afraid of death?"

Ji You's eyes were gloomy as he shook his sword down: "A man should die in this kind of place."

Boom!

Countless violent auras whistled into the sky at this moment, whistling from not far away toward the dense forest where Ji You was.

Among them, Elder Fang rushed in first.

When looking at the severed head, his gaze wished he could tear Ji You into ten thousand pieces, then roared and raised his blade, the iron blade in his hand erupting with a burst of explosive cold light.

Seeing this scene, Ji You raised his sword fiercely, his whole body's spirit boiling like hot oil as it climbed constantly.

He had killed all the way here, and the strongest he encountered was Bu Qirong.

He was at the Middle Realm of Responding to Heaven, barely counting as the peak of the same realm after evil transformation; at this moment, the one who raised his blade to kill was clearly much more powerful.

At the same time, Yan De fell to the ground fiercely, the sword Qi in his hand collapsing with a roar.

He didn't block Elder Fang of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan because it was meaningless, because at this moment, following the disappearance of Bu Qirong's aura, all the immortal sect Elders killed toward this place, the rage in their eyes already rising like fire.

He couldn't see a bit of the bright road ahead, but still gripped the Dao sword.

However, just at this moment, a streak of immortal light fell with a roar.

The cold and proud Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi abandoned the Barbarian Clan King, suppressed with the spirit inspection, and the majestic immortal light blasted back everyone who flew over later.

Almost at the same moment, the black clouds that seemed to be pressing toward their faces also slowly dispersed, quickly moving away a few points.

Not bad, those on the verge of death in the Qingyun world were not just these old fellows on the road.

There were others waiting for the opportunity, but they didn't expect Bu Qirong to be killed in the end.

And seeing the Little Inspection Master of Lingjian Mountain suppress everyone with the spirit inspection, those disciples in the forest were dazed, even Yan De was the same.

Yan Chuan and Yan De were Elders under her seat, and it was only right for her to save them.

Moreover, the two of them were originally following her execution order.

But the problem was that in the eyes of others, Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi was noble as the next Abbot, and the best way should be to take the two away directly, without the need to make this posture of being an enemy of other immortal sects.

With her strength plus the protection of the spirit inspection, if she really did this, no one could stop her, and no one dared to stop her.

Especially the hatred of the immortal sects here was entirely on Ji You, and would not be borne by Lingjian Mountain.

But at this very moment, what she chose was to block everyone's path and guard in front of the dense forest.

The Elder of Heavenly Jianfeng, who could no longer open his eyes, landed gracefully and bowed forward: "Inspection Master, although that person uses the sword Dao of my Lingjian Mountain, he is actually a disciple of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan."

Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi opened her mouth upon hearing this: "I know."

"I heard from the disciples in the sect that he is a master who doesn't respect the immortal rules, and this private action is even more heinous. We should cooperate with Elder Fang of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan to capture him!"

Qin Rong and Ji Jingyao also arrived at the field at this time, looking seriously at that Lingjian Mountain Elder who could no longer open his eyes.

They didn't want Ji You to have an accident.

On one hand, Ji You was truly the only person among the younger generation who could support the sect prestige of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan.

On the other hand, although Elder Fang had told them the theory that evil is not a crime and having none is a crime, when Bu Qirong's aura was extinguished, they still couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

When all was said and done, no matter how exquisitely the things on the Bu family members were packaged, they still felt from the bottom of their hearts that this was a disaster.

Seeing that the Elder who couldn't open his eyes had already raised his sword and intended to enter the forest, they could only pray that the Little Inspection Master of Lingjian Mountain could have a soft heart, or cherish talent, and come forward to stop it.

Ji You's sword Dao talent was extremely strong; although the matter of him slashing through the sword forest was kept silent by Lingjian Mountain, it was said that the Elders in the sect all appreciated him very much.

If the Little Inspection Master of Lingjian Mountain really had a heart to cherish talent, maybe she could really spare Ji You.

The next instant, a vast immortal light shot from the suspended spirit inspection, locking onto that Elder, instantly stopping his boiling sword intent.

"The matter of the Bu family is of great importance. It should have been captured and investigated to prevent future disasters and return the Qingyun world to stability, but this child made a move to stir up the situation, causing all the hard work to be wasted!"

The Elder who couldn't open his eyes clenched his fists: "You are noble as my Lingjian Mountain Inspection Master; this time it will be considered as protecting that Heavenly Tian Shuyuan disciple, which will not only affect the reputation of my Lingjian Mountain, but I'm afraid it will also be said to be interfering in the sect affairs of other sects."

In fact, everyone present knew clearly that what they wanted was fundamentally not some eradication of the root of disaster.

What they wanted was the immortal fate, even if it meant becoming a man-eating monster, they would not hesitate.

However, he did say a sentence that was quite heart-stabbing; the relationship between Lingjian Mountain and the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan had always been bad, and her interference did indeed appear to be unjustified.

But following the fall of this sentence, what was returned to him was a cold gaze from the Little Inspection Master of Lingjian Mountain.

The Elder whose eyes couldn't open trembled with both hands, his bowed body became lower, but there was no gesture of concession.

Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi looked into the forest with trembling eyelashes: "This is not the sect matter you think; this is the family matter of this Inspection Master."

"?"

Just at this moment, a deafening roar sounded in the forest.

As the majestic energy surged, it was as if dozens of mountains were collapsing at the same time, the heavy aura causing the mountains to tremble.

In fact, from the moment Bu Qirong's aura dissipated, the blade roar and sword roar in the forest had never stopped.

They discovered that the sword in the forest was abnormally fast, almost without any interruption, sword Qi like surging waves one after another.

Until this moment, a figure flew out from the dense forest.

Elder Fang landed on the ground with a "bang," his shoulder slashed open with a huge wound, extending all the way to his chest.

At this time, Ji You walked out, surrounded by more than fifty Dao swords, each sword emitting a heavy air pressure like a mountain, constantly ringing in the void.

Back then, with the cultivation of the Qi Refining Realm, he slashed back a soldier king with forty-nine layers of mountains.

Now, with fifty-eight layers of mountains, he slashed back an Elder.

However, his state was also not good, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, the golden light in his eyes flickering, clearly consuming a huge amount and suffering some internal injuries.

But no matter what, in the eyes of those disciples in the forest, especially the disciples of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, the one slashed away was Elder Fang, and the one walking out was Ji You.

"The Bu family cultivated evil arts, brought disaster to the Nine Provinces, and harmed the common people. Heavenly Tian Shuyuan disciple Ji You is fortunate not to disgrace the mission and has slashed them."

Ji You at this time raised a money bag embroidered with the word "Fang," and while speaking, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.

His body was still thick, his aura aggressive, making everyone frown.

Putting aside everything else, this was the first time they realized that this sword-breaking-everything person was actually so young...

The more critical problem was...

The various Elders present narrowed their eyes, their minds recalling the sentence "family matter" from the Inspection Master just now.

Ji You was also looking at Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi at this time, then closed his eyes with peace of mind, and fell to the ground with a boom.

Seeing this scene, Qin Rong and Ji Jingyao wanted to go and help him up, but after a moment of hesitation, they couldn't help but look at the Little Inspection Master, discovering that the Little Inspection Master was also looking at them.

After thinking for a long time, the two finally didn't dare to reach out.

Just at this moment, the spirit inspection suspended in the air suddenly bloomed with a streak of immortal light, blasting away with a bang.

The crowd turned to look behind, discovering that those Barbarians had already retreated at high speed.

Manager Qin reacted first, immediately flicking his sleeves and returning to his senses: "Heavenly Tian Shuyuan disciples, follow me! This matter is of great importance, must ask clearly how they entered the Nine Provinces!"

The northern border wall had not been broken, so it was impossible for the Barbarians to enter, unless someone opened the Immortal-Slaying Array in another way.

But it happened to be this time, it happened to be this timing.

One must know, the seven major immortal sects acted secretly this time; except for those participating in the action, no one knew the news, but these Barbarians could not only enter the border, but could also head straight for the Dongping Mountain Range.

Too many coincidences made people feel that it was not a coincidence at all.
