024 Qi Zhen · Three Yang Sword

  Yue Qing released his flying sword and went forward: "Luo Ziyuan, you really are willing to be a running dog for Emei Sect!"

  That old Taoist nun was none other than Laozi Yun, the Golden Mother of Baijiadong in Mount Heng. The Locking Cloud Cave where Yueqin had lived before was also located on Mount Heng, so it turned out that they were neighbors after all. He knew how formidable she was and recognized the green glow she controlled as her mountain-securing treasure, the Nasumi Ring, named for its ability to subdue Mustard Seed Mountain. When facing an opponent, releasing it would capture 90% of their flying swords and treasures, while also warding off evil spirits and having countless wondrous uses.

  Wu Li also recognized her, but in the past, he had only heard of Na Jie Huan's power, and today he was experiencing it personally. Fortunately, Yue Qing timely released the divine demon to entangle Na Jie Huan, allowing him to take advantage of the opportunity to use his profound magical powers to retrieve the Tianyi Xuan Huang San that he had painstakingly refined.

  Lu Ziyuan was someone who rarely put others in her eyes. She rushed towards Yue Qing with a cold smile: "Look at how your master died miserably back then, and you've been tucking your tail between your legs all along, or else I would have taken your dog life long ago! Now that you're cultivating evil to the fullest, practicing demonic skills, and harming two of Emei Sect's fellow disciples, not killing you is simply unacceptable!" She spat out a stream of vital energy onto the Naxian Ring, which immediately buzzed loudly and burst into flames. The green light was like a fierce blaze, but unexpectedly, Yue Qing's six Ding and Jia demonic spirits were no ordinary evil spirits to be compared with. With the interplay of yin and yang, the blood glow emitted a radiant light, and various colors merged together, but the Naxian Ring couldn't disperse them.

  Yue Qing shouted loudly: "Wu Dao friend, I have already used the divine demon to entangle the old beggar woman's treasure, quickly follow me and finish her off!"

  He was in a hurry, and the word "done" came out. Although Wu Li had never heard of it, he also understood his meaning. He immediately released the Huang Jing sword and Xuan Huang Sha again, and followed Yue Qing's flying sword to sweep towards Luo Ziyun.

  Lu Ziyanyan said in a low voice to Yu Fangheng and her three sisters standing beside her, "You go down and get the treasure! I'll hold them off here."

  The three women flew down immediately, and suddenly two sword lights came flying in from the side, blocking their path. Ming Yizi said: "Three Taoist friends, please stay."

  Wan Zhen was the most arrogant and reckless, seeing the treasure in front of her eyes that seemed within reach, someone jumped out to block her way, she didn't say a word, and rushed forward with her sword to slash towards Ming Yizi.

  Ming Yi Zi hastily released his flying sword to block it and said with discontent: "Fellow Taoist, listen to me for a moment!"

  Li Wenyuan saw that his sword light was upright and not evil, not a demon, but he thought it was also an alien immortal like Wu Li, wanting to intervene and seize the treasure, so he didn't take action either, letting Wan Zhen do as she pleased. Yu Fangheng blocked Wan Zhen: "Sister, listen to what he has to say first."

  "What else can be said!" Wan Zhen temporarily put away the sword light, pointed to Yue Qing in the sky with his hand, "Are you and the remnants of the Five Tai Pai in cahoots?"

  Before Ming Yizi could speak, Liu Quan took the lead and said: "I am a member of the Wutai faction!"

  Wan Zhen's apricot-shaped eyes widened in surprise: "You two have seen it!" After finishing speaking, she turned her sword light and slashed towards Liu Quan.

  Liu Quan snorted: "People of the Emei Sect are all like this, truly a reputation without substance!" He had already lost hope in the Emei Sect after two encounters with them. Although he had killed Wu Wenci earlier, he still held onto a glimmer of hope that the Emei Sect was as noble and courteous as its legend suggested, and that if he explained things clearly, they might understand. After joining the Wutai Sect, he saw Yue Qing's heroic and righteous behavior, and except for the gourd obtained from the traitor, their methods were orthodox and not evil. He believed that the feud between the two sects was just a matter of pride and wanted to mediate between them in the future to turn enemies into friends. However, now he had completely dispelled this notion. With a wave of his hands, he released Wu Yuanzhi's Wind and Fire Twin Swords, and two beams of light, one blue and one red, shot out in a spiral motion towards Wan Zhen.

  As soon as they saw the Wind and Fire Twin Swords, the three women immediately recognized them as Wu Yuanzhi's flying swords, and suddenly shouted in unison: "Indeed, you are a demonic faction that harmed Master Wu! Today, no matter what, we will kill you and capture your primordial spirit to take back to Mount Emei for punishment!" Wan Zhen took the lead, charging forward with her sword.

  Liu Quan wielded his flying swords in a flurry of movements, executing the Taiyi sword techniques he had recently learned from Yue Qing, focusing his mind to respond to the battle.

  Ming Yizi also secretly annoyed San Nu, releasing a flying sword to fight alongside Liu Quan shoulder to shoulder.

  These two are not ordinary people, and when they join forces, the three women are no match for them. Especially since Yu Fang was hit by Wu Li's sneak attack earlier, although she immediately used the Ling medicine of the Emei school to treat her wound, she is still unable to move freely. Fortunately, Liu Quan and Ming Yizi both dislike Wan Zhen, so most of their attacks are directed at him, which is why they didn't die on the spot, but they are still retreating continuously.

  Liu Quan recalled the words of Yue Qing earlier and was afraid that there were still masters lurking in the Emei sect, fearing that the night would be long and dreams many. He wanted to end the battle quickly, and with one sword, he cut off half of Wan Zhen's hair bun. Countless scattered black silk strands floated away in the wind. Wan Zhen let out a shrill cry as Liu Quan drew a bloody line on her ribs. She was truly frightened and was about to escape by flying sword when Luo Ziyan suddenly swooped down diagonally.

  Luo Ziyuan released his own purple energy, the Flying Smoke Sword, which was a twenty-fourth grade Mysterious Purple Energy. It connected together and transformed into a half-empty misty fog. However, hidden within it was a killing intent. As soon as one was entwined by the sword energy, they would be strangled to death and turned into dust. Liu Quan and Ming Yizi's flying swords had just made contact when they immediately became sluggish and lost their agility.

  "Quickly go!" Luo Ziyanyan said to the three women. "I'll hold them off!" The three women responded and flew down into the valley.

  At this time, Wu Li and Yue Qing also rushed down together with Liu Quan and Ming Yi Zi. The four of them rode their swords to attack, but Luo Ziyun was fearless. With a mouthful of vital energy, she sprayed out a purple gas that filled the sky and attacked the four of them. Yue Qing's Ding Jia Shen Mo, Wu Li's Tian Yi Shen Sha, Liu Quan's Jin Yuan Shen Jian, and Ming Yi Zi's Liang Tian Xian Chi were all blocked by the green light of Na Jie Huan's transformation. If it weren't for Ding Jia Shen Mo's magical changes, the other three people's treasures would have been taken away by their opponent.

  Lu Ziyuan guarded the valley entrance, and the four of them fought for a long time without falling. Wu Li tried several times to rush down and seize the treasure but was blocked every time, so he could only helplessly let the three women calmly break through the remaining seals and then take the jade box containing the treasure into their hands.

  Wan Zhen was the most anxious, wanting to see what treasure was hidden here, and why Master had attached so much importance to it, even sending a flying sword to invite Golden Auntie to assist. Hurriedly opening it, inside was actually an empty box, with nothing in it. Wan Zhen felt her brain spinning, anger burning in her heart: "Luo Shifu! The treasure has already been taken away!"

  Lu Ziyuan was also surprised, but since the treasure had disappeared, there was no need to continue fighting. Moreover, the four people in front of her were all powerful enemies, and they were all using precious treasures from the immortal family. Especially that Ding Jia Shenmo, if she was slightly careless, she would be taken advantage of. So, she paused her sword light, opened up the flying swords of the four people, and specified Na Xiang Ring to open up a path, then flew over to join forces with the three women.

  Wan Zhen suspected that the three who appeared later took the treasure and wanted Luo Ziyan's help to get it back, but Luo Ziyan was cold and stern: "Forget it, the treasure has a spirit, it will find its own destiny. This group of demons is unlucky, they can't even keep the treasure, and they'll bring disaster upon themselves, ending up dead and soulless! Let's go." After finishing speaking, she waved her sleeve, and together with the three women, turned into a purple light that broke through the air and left.

  As they left, Wu Li suddenly narrowed his eyes and interrogated Yue Qing: "Has the treasure already fallen into your hands?" His hand grasped the sword hilt tightly, with a posture that seemed to suggest he would fight to the death at any moment.

  Yue Qing took out the Three Yang One Qi Sword and handed it to Wu Li: "I previously guessed that Emei Sect would have helpers, fearing there might be some trickery, so I went to the valley first to get the treasure."

  Wu Li took the treasure sword and held it in his hand, observing it for a moment. The sword was three feet three inches long, and with a slight swing, it emitted a rainbow glow of about ten feet long. Moreover, the three swords were mutually responsive, and when one was swung, the other two would automatically follow. Wu Li knew that this was a rare treasure of the ages, a divine instrument, and he was overjoyed. At the same time, he felt ashamed and bowed his head to apologize to Yue Qing: "Earlier, I used a petty mind to measure your noble heart, constantly suspecting that you had ulterior motives, and my words were often rude. I hope you can forgive me!"

  Yue Qing waved his hand: "Everyone has their own mind, if it were me, I would also have some doubts."

  "Wu Li sighed: "The heart of a Taoist friend is truly admirable! I have spent countless thoughts over the years to find a good sword and duel with Zhu Ai Zi to avenge my past grievances. Today, I finally got what I wanted, thanks to the blessing of the Taoist friend." He measured others by his own standard, if he had taken the treasure first, he might not have been able to hand it over, so he didn't ask if there was anything else. His only desire was to find Zhu Mei and avenge himself, with this Three Yang One Qi sword, he was already satisfied. "The kindness of the Taoist friend, Wu Li will remember in his heart, if you need something in the future, just send a flying sword letter to Lao Mountain Taicheng Palace, I will definitely do my best to help!"
