Chapter 196

The last time I came to the Great Ming Dynasty.

Jiang Chen had already learned the location of Spirit Snake Island from Dongfang Bubai, so there was no need to stop and ask anyone for directions now.

Meanwhile.

Although they were high in the sky, it did not stop Li Mochou and Long Er from looking down with curiosity.

After all, this was not only their first time leaving the Ancient Tomb, but also their first time in the Great Ming Dynasty.

However.

The expression on Li Mochou's face was somewhat complex at this moment.

Supposedly, she should be happy to finally be able to leave the Ancient Tomb.

It was just that they had traveled ten thousand miles to the Great Ming Dynasty, yet along the way, apart from white clouds, she had seen nothing, let alone the magnificent and bustling mortal world.

Thinking of this,

Li Mochou could not help but ask: "Young Master, where are we going?"

"Spirit Snake Island."

Jiang Chen said with a smile: "First, we go to Spirit Snake Island to retrieve something, and then we go to the Mount Emei Sect of the Great Ming Dynasty."

"The Mount Emei Sect?"

Li Mochou said with some surprise: "Is that the Mount Emei Sect that only recruits female disciples?"

"You know of it too?"

"Yes, I have heard of it before."

Li Mochou asked jokingly: "I heard that the Mount Emei Sect leader possesses the Heaven-Reliant Sword, which is known as a divine weapon. Young Master, you wouldn't be going for that, would you?"

Hearing Li Mochou's words.

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, then said with a smile: "You are right, it is for the Heaven-Reliant Sword."

Li Mochou: "..."

She had only said it casually, but Jiang Chen had actually nodded.

Although she had never been to the Great Ming Dynasty.

She still knew a little about the Mount Emei Sect.

As far as she understood,

The Heaven-Reliant Sword was the symbolic token of the Mount Emei Sect's successive leaders; it was an object with an owner, which was different from the Nine Yin Manual on the stone walls of the Ancient Tomb.

However.

Thinking of Jiang Chen's strength, Li Mochou did not know what to say.

If Jiang Chen were to seize it by force based on his strength, the Mount Emei Sect would certainly be unable to stop him.

It was just that.

Whether it was Li Mochou or Long Er.

Although they did not know why Jiang Chen was so confident in being able to obtain the Heaven-Reliant Sword, neither of them felt that Jiang Chen would forcibly snatch it from the hands of the Mount Emei Sect.

As time passed bit by bit.

After crossing a stretch of sea, a small island appeared in everyone's line of sight.

"We've arrived."

Seeing the island, Jiang Chen smiled lightly, then prepared to control the Executioner Sword to land on the island.

However, the next second.

His movements suddenly paused.

Jiang Chen discovered.

At one edge of the island at this moment, a small boat was docked at the shore.

At the same time,

A slender, elegant woman in a green dress trailing on the ground was stepping off the small boat, and after carefully looking around, she walked toward the island.

Looking at the cinnabar mole between the other person's brows, a strange look immediately appeared on Jiang Chen's face.

Could it be that the siege of Mount Mount Wudang by the six major sects had already happened in these past few days?

Previously, when at the Sun Moon Divine Sect.

Jiang Chen had already learned from Dongfang Bubai that the gathering of the six major sects at Mount Mount Wudang had not yet occurred.

However, at this moment.

Looking at Zhou Zhou Zhiruo below, Jiang Chen became somewhat puzzled.

Because the incident of Zhou Zhou Zhiruo stealing the Dragon-Slaying Saber and the Heaven-Reliant Sword happened after the six major sects gathered at Mount Mount Wudang.

However,

Since the storyline had already changed before, Jiang Chen did not pay too much attention to it.

Perhaps the plot regarding Zhou Zhou Zhiruo had also changed; one could never be sure.

Moreover.

At this moment, Jiang Chen felt that meeting Zhou Zhou Zhiruo here was actually better, because at least it meant the Dragon-Slaying Saber was still on Ice Fire Island.

"Young Master, what's wrong?"

Seeing the surprised expression on Jiang Chen's face,

Long Er and Li Mochou both looked at the green figure below with some curiosity.

Because both of their strengths were only at the Free and Unfettered Earth Realm, they could barely see that the figure below was a woman, but could not see her specific appearance clearly.

However, judging by Jiang Chen's appearance, he seemed to know the other person.

"It's nothing, I just felt that the aura of the person below was a bit familiar. If I'm not mistaken, the other person should be a disciple of the Mount Emei Sect."

Jiang Chen smiled lightly: "Let's go down, remember not to make a sound."

After speaking,

The Executioner Sword turned into a rainbow light and shot toward the ground.

At the same time,

After Zhou Zhou Zhiruo got off the small boat, she walked toward the island impatiently.

This operation was arranged by her Master.

From her Master, she learned that the Golden-Haired Lion King Xie Xun was currently hiding on this small island with the Dragon-Slaying Saber.

As long as she could obtain the Dragon-Slaying Saber this time, she would certainly be able to use the Dragon-Slaying Saber and the Heaven-Reliant Sword to revitalize Mount Emei, making the Mount Emei Sect a top power in the Great Ming Jianghu in one fell swoop!

Regarding the true secret of the Heaven-Reliant Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Saber,

Other powers might not know, but the Mount Emei Sect leader, Abbess Miejue, knew it.

And as the successor to the Mount Emei Sect leader, Zhou Zhou Zhiruo also knew the true secret within.

That was that the Heaven-Reliant Sword contained the most supreme martial arts manual, the Nine Yin Manual.

However,

To break the Heaven-Reliant Sword and take out the Nine Yin Manual inside, one could only rely on the equally indestructible Dragon-Slaying Saber.

And just a short while ago.

By chance, Abbess Miejue received news of the Dragon-Slaying Saber's whereabouts, so she quietly arranged for Zhou Zhou Zhiruo to come to Ice Fire Island to steal the Dragon-Slaying Saber.

As for Abbess Miejue,

In order not to be noticed by other sects, she remained within the Mount Emei Sect, preparing to follow the other major sects to Mount Mount Wudang as agreed to 'force' the whereabouts of the Golden-Haired Lion King Xie Xun.

"I heard from Master that although the Golden-Haired Lion King Xie Xun has the strength of the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm, his eyes have already been blinded by the White-Browed Eagle King's daughter, Yin Yin Susu, so as long as I am careful and find the right opportunity, I should be able to steal the Dragon-Slaying Saber."

While carefully observing the surrounding environment, Zhou Zhou Zhiruo recalled the details her Master had given her before she set off.

According to what her Master said,

The Golden-Haired Lion King was originally one of the Four Great Guardian Kings of the Ming Cult, had long since stepped into the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm, and had cultivated the Lion's Roar and the Seven Injuries Fist to an extremely profound level.

However, although he held the Dragon-Slaying Saber, he was not skilled in saber techniques.

So as long as she was cautious, there was a great chance she could steal the Dragon-Slaying Saber.

As the future successor to the Mount Emei Sect leader,
