Chapter 613

"What about Yan Ying?"

Nie Renwang suddenly realized that the person before him was not Yan Ying, and instead began to worry about Yan Ying's safety.

"Her? We don't know either.

But don't worry — this so-called standard accessory of a successful man, a man definitely wouldn't bear to kill her!"

God Xiao Qing smiled charmingly and said so.

"The person you invited, that includes me as well?"

Unbeknownst to Emperor Shadow, the Second Dao Emperor had already been restrained.

God Xiao Qing was enough to suppress Nie Renwang, and Old Fahai was the one to deal with himself.

He was just curious about what it was, so he asked directly,

"May I know what exactly your so-called god intends to do?"

Old Fahai nodded and said,

"Beyond the East Sea, there is a Dragon God Island.

On the island there is a divine dragon, one of the four great auspicious signs of Yunzhou!

The god wishes to gather seven divine weapons, paired with seven bearers of fortune, to go slay the dragon."

Nie Renwang's Snow-Drinking Blade is naturally one of the divine weapons.

The Zhengming Blade held by the Second Dao Emperor, though a notch below the Snow-Drinking Blade.

But he has mastered the golden blade Qi, and over these years has been diligently training his blade arts.

Even though the material of the Zhengming Blade is somewhat inferior, today it too counts as a fine divine weapon.

As for Emperor Shadow, the blade on his back is the Jingji Blade of the You Dongying imperial clan.

This blade was forged from the clan's fortune, and so it can shield its wielder's aura.

So long as he does not strike first or reveal his strength, he will not appear on the Heavenly Dao Golden List.

One could say the Jingji Blade is also a divine blade!

Emperor Shadow, hearing it was actually a dragon-slaying expedition, could not help but grow interested, and said,

"If you'd told me straight out it was such a fine thing, I'd naturally be willing to go.

However, like the Second Dao Emperor, I too am by nature most devoted to the Way of the Blade.

I wonder if your so-called god would be willing to exchange a few blade techniques with me?"

Since one styles oneself a god, in Emperor Shadow's eyes one ought to be omniscient and omnipotent!

So a god of immortality, in his eyes, would surely know blade arts!

Old Fahai nodded with a light smile and said,

"If you are willing to join, once the deed is done, the god will naturally be pleased to teach you a few blade techniques.

But this old monk must say it plainly first — the god's cultivation is unfathomably deep; if you should suffer any mishap…"

"Could your god really stand higher than Ximen Wudi?"

Emperor Shadow could not help but snort with laughter.

"What?"

Old Fahai did not understand.

Emperor Shadow did not bother to explain.

The Jingji Blade on his back is not only a divine weapon, but even more a divine tool for preserving his life!

So long as You Dongying is not destroyed and the imperial clan still stands,

he can, through this blade, ceaselessly receive the blessing of fortune.

In other words, to attack the bearer of this blade is to make an enemy of You Dongying.

How can one person wage war against an entire nation?

Unless one is a forbidden existence like Ximen Wudi.

Emperor Shadow had already joined, and the Second Dao Emperor had also lost his true essence and become God Xiao Qing's captive.

In an instant, only Nie Renwang remained alone.

After a moment's hesitation, he sighed and said,

"So be it! I am willing to join!"

He could not even see how Old Fahai had arrived — clearly this old monk's strength was above his own.

And God Xiao Qing had even been able to deceive him by playing the part of Yan Ying.

One could say that, apart from joining, he had no other choice.

"Very good! Those who know the times are the true heroes — let us be off!"

Old Fahai swept his monk's staff, and a gust of fierce wind swept up the several people.

The gale set off from the great Buddha's head, hurtling into the distance.

After they had gone, in the mountain woods near the great Buddha,

Xiao Jingtian watched the scene over here and said to Xiao Aoshi,

"So this so-called god is truly plotting the Seven Weapons Dragon-Slaying…"

Xiao Aoshi, too, wore a mocking, light smile,

"Who would have thought the Great Dragon Head truly sees as clearly as a god — he actually guessed that this so-called god of immortality, having no way out, would set his sights on the divine dragon."

"What damn divine dragon."

Xiao Jingtian laughed again and said,

"When they actually see that dragon, they'll probably have their jaws drop in shock!"

"Haha! Exactly! But big brother, are we really not going to interfere?"

Xiao Aoshi frowned; his injuries had already healed.

The two brothers joining forces could absolutely take down Old Fahai and God Xiao Qing.

Only he did not know why Xiao Jingtian had stopped him.

"The Grand Dragon Head said that the essence Long Yuan of this damn divine dragon is the very fount of Yunzhou's fortune.

He will not take the initiative to kill the dragon, lest he offend the harmony of Heaven.

But if an immortal god like Master Changsheng kills this dragon for us, then we can step in and seize the Long Yuan."

So it turned out that what Xiao Jingtian had done was on the orders of the Grand Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi.

"The Grand Dragon Head? Big brother, when did you ever meet the Grand Dragon Head?"

Xiao Aoshi only felt it was utterly baffling.

The two of them, since leaving You Dongying, had not found Xiao Sanxiao, and even the Grand Dragon Head Ximen Wudi, they had never laid eyes on.

After all, the Grand Dragon Head had already headed to the Sword Realm before all this, and to this day, had still not returned.

Yet everyone in all of Jiuzhou knew that even while the Grand Dragon Head Ximen Wudi was in the Sword Realm, he had always been able to look down upon every movement in Jiuzhou.

If he wished to return, it was but a casual matter.

"Have you forgotten that little miss we saw before?"

Who Xiao Jingtian was speaking of was precisely Lu Xueqi, who had left White Dragon Creek.

After the two of them finished handling the matter of the Yunzhou Imperial City, they happened to run into Lu Xueqi.

"And then?"

Xiao Aoshi hurriedly pressed on.

"Here! This is what Dongxue gave me—the Grand Dragon Head's jade pendant of Dao resonance!"

Xiao Jingtian suddenly opened his palm, and there lay a jade pendant that looked utterly ordinary.

But Xiao Aoshi could sense that within this jade pendant was contained a terrifying power.

Since when the Soul-Searching Palace was founded, it was already impossible to know.

But the power of the Soul-Searching Palace, looking across the entire world, was in truth also quite terrifying.

Its top-tier experts included the Immortal God and Old Fahai.

One tier below were God Xiao Qing, the Divine Generals, the Divine Maiden Miss Xue Yuan, and Old Fahai's disciple Fazhi, along with two other High Priests.

At this tier, each person's strength had at least reached the Heaven-Human level, and the outstanding among them had long since entered the Supreme Mythical Realm.

Beneath this were the Divine Envoys, whom the Immortal God had spent who knows how many years gathering and cultivating!
