Outside Jianluowang City, a streak of light flew over from afar and then appeared in the sky.
A ray of sword light revealed two figures.
It was Lu Qingshan and Xia Daoyun.
The invisible Lu Qingshan was looking down from a high place, gazing at the familiar city not far away.
The scenes he experienced in Jianluo King City more than 20 years ago kept emerging in his mind.
"When you came to the abyss, was it here that you found the method to save your natal sword?" Xia Daoyun asked.
"Yes," Lu Qingshan nodded, no longer thinking about the past, and turned to introduce to Xia Daoyun: "When I went to the Black Armor Region, I first passed by the Burning Moon Region and found that the Burning Moon Region was in the midst of a major war preparation. I also learned that the Red Lord, the War Lord, and the Life Lord had already left the royal city and went to various royal realms to mobilize troops and various clans. The current situation in Jianluo Royal City is somewhat similar to that of Futu Royal City."
“This is the best opportunity to take action.”
"I understand." Xia Daoyun narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the majestic royal city in the distance, nodded slightly, with a cold and murderous temperament.
"Wait for me here, I'll be back soon."
The next moment, Xia Daoyun flew up on his sword, and the sword light rushed straight towards Jianluo King City.
Lu Qingshan did not act pretentiously. He used Fu Yao to hide his body and waited quietly in the same place.
He had not yet recovered from his injuries and had no fighting ability. Forcing himself to go with Xia Daoyun would only hold her back. Waiting here was obviously the best option.
…
Jianluo King City, Sword Control Platform.
The magical weapon of the Bingmo clan that had been suspended in the center of the Sword Control Platform for who knows how many years had disappeared and was refined by Lu Qingshan into his natal sword.
However, the six battle steles engraved with the lifelong battle insights of Saint Ancestor Mangcang still stand quietly outside the Sword Controlling Platform.
"These should be the Mangcang Battle Method Stele that Qingshan mentioned, which is engraved with the insights of the supreme sword method."
The violent sword light stopped above Jianluo King City.
Xia Daoyun showed up and looked with cold eyes at the six crystal clear steles standing below.
The good place recommended by Lu Qingshan is the Sword Control Platform located in Jianluo King City.
"This kind of treasure should be taken back to the Sword Sect." Xia Daoyun said to himself.
Immediately, she stretched out her foot and stomped lightly in the air.
Ripples suddenly arose, and a powerful force followed the ripples, passed through the void, and reached the ground of Jianluo King City below.
Boom!
As this tremendous force flowed toward the earth, the Sword Control Platform suddenly began to tremble violently.
The next moment, huge cracks appeared on the ground of the Sword Control Platform.
Immediately afterwards, the six ancient stone tablets broke out from the cracks.
The huge surface of the stele is covered with various patterns and lines.
These patterns and lines are the images of Demon Lord Mangcang’s fighting methods. Only those with sufficient talent can gain understanding from them.
It can be imagined that if these six stone tablets could be brought back to the Sword Sect, it would definitely be of great benefit to the Sword Sect's inheritance.
In addition, the ancient stone tablet is a heritage left by the holy ancestor of the Soldier Demon Clan. Although after so many years, even including Qing Ge, the incarnation of Lu Qingshan, only sixteen people have gained some insights from it, but no matter what, they are the symbols of the Soldier Demon Clan and are sacred objects that cannot be desecrated.
To put it simply, Xia Daoyun's act of digging the stele at this moment can be equivalent to digging up the ancestral tomb of the Bingmo clan.
Even if the demonic rage aroused by this could not be compared with Lu Qingshan's act of overthrowing the Futu King City, it was definitely not much different.
Kill two birds with one stone.
So when Lu Qingshan gave the suggestion, Xia Daoyun accepted it without hesitation and determined the six Mangcang Battle Method Monuments as the target of this trip.
Xia Daoyun moved quickly. Almost the next moment after she made her move, the six battle steles had already floated into the air, hovering around her, and then she collected them all into the mustard seed.
…
Digging up your ancestors' graves in front of you.
Is this tolerable?
This is intolerable and intolerable.
Not to mention the violent demons, even if it was the King of Western Rats, he would probably be furious.
So, in just a moment, dozens of black shadows emitting powerful waves rushed out from all over Jianluo King City.
"You dare!"
"You bold lunatic, you actually stole the holy tablet of our clan, you are looking for death!" Those demon shadows shouted angrily, and their voices reached the sky.
Leading the group was a top-level demon lord, with a pair of extremely evil red eyes filled with endless anger and brutality.
This top demon lord soared into the air and arrived the fastest.
He and Xia Daoyun were facing each other from a distance. His demonic eyes, which were originally filled with anger, shrank unconsciously the moment he saw Xia Daoyun's appearance clearly, and then a trace of deeply hidden fear flashed across them.
"It's you, Xia Daoyun!"
A sharp voice resounded over Jianluo King City.
That year outside Yumen Pass, Xia Daoyuan borrowed the sword energy left in the world by Li Qiubai from thousands of miles away, and used it to defeat Chi Zun head-on.
The scene of sword energy spanning 30,000 miles shocked both humans and demons, and left an indelible impression on the demon cultivators in the Burning Moon Domain. It also made the demon lords of the Soldier Demon Clan firmly imprint Xia Daoyun's face in their minds, and thus they recognized Xia Daoyun's identity instantly.
"Why are you here? How dare you be here?!"
"So he has been promoted to the Sword Immortal Realm." The Demon Shadow stared at Xia Daoyun carefully, and the demonic energy around him fluctuated violently, because he discovered at this moment that Xia Daoyun's cultivation was no longer the Tribulation Realm twenty years ago.
"Just looking at your appearance, your current condition doesn't seem to be very good. How dare you break into my Jianluo King City?" The Demon Lord roared to the sky again.
As a top demon, he naturally had outstanding eyesight and could see at a glance that Xia Daoyun had unhealed injuries left over from the previous battle with the incarnation of Luohou.
"That's perfect. Since you don't know what's good for you and are seeking your own death, I will kill you here and remove a major obstacle for my clan to pacify Yumen Pass!"
When Xia Daoyun heard this, a faint smile appeared on her fair face.
But there was a chill in that smile .
In an instant, with Niu Er in his hand, vast sword energy swept out like an overwhelming force.
"It seems you haven't figured out the situation yet."
She is in the eighth realm and can fight against Chi Zun, although she is borrowing the power of Chang'an Sword Immortal. But today she is already a Sword Immortal. The demon in front of her is not a figure like the Three Lords. How can he have the courage to challenge her?
The top demon king was not afraid of the overwhelming sword energy, and said coldly: "If it were in other places, I would be wary of you, Xia Daoyun, but in the royal city, how could I be afraid of you?"
Demonic energy gushed out of the eyes of that top-level demon lord, and he stomped his foot violently. Immediately, a thick demonic energy rose up from the Jianluo King City below like a tornado and enveloped him.
Then, his momentum surged by three points.
In the center of Jianluo King City, there grows an extremely peculiar plant. It is blood red in color, with huge leaves shaped like cattail leaf fans, and it emits bursts of peculiar fragrance.
There are two strange flowers in its giant blood-red leaves. Each one is as big as a millstone and as black as ink. At this moment, they are flashing black light and emitting rich demonic energy, which then converge towards the top demon lord in the sky.
This is the magical plant that protects Jianluo King City, a powerful magical plant that even the three masters cannot name, but generally call it the Sacrifice King.
Although Jianluo King City does not have the Daozu Formation like Yumen Pass, its foundation should not be underestimated. Now it is showing some of its power.
With the power of the King of Sacrifice blessing, the top-level Demon Lord was extremely ferocious. He swung his right palm violently, and the monstrous demonic energy directly transformed into a huge demon dragon thousands of feet long, rushing out with bared fangs and claws, facing the endless sword energy that was coming towards him, wanting to kill Xia Daoyun.
boom!
A loud roar resounded throughout the sky above Jianluo King City.
Countless sword qi flowed out, evaporating all the evil energy that permeated the dragon.
The terrifying wave spread out, and the top demon lord's body shook. He felt a tingling pain in his skin, and he was already at a disadvantage.
It’s true that Xia Daoyun is a novice swordsman, and she is indeed injured, but she is Xia Daoyun.
Xia Daoyun with a frosty sword.
So, how could she lose?
brush!
This time, before the top demon lord could catch his breath, Xia Daoyun had already rushed out, his domain of law unfolded, sword energy swept, sword light raged, directly making the demonic energy like being trapped in a swamp and unable to move.
The bull's ear in her hand carried a majestic and domineering sword intent, covering the top demon lord.
The top demon lord saw Xia Daoyun attacking with such a domineering and arrogant attitude, as if he didn't take him seriously at all, and his anger became even worse.
"Stop looking down on others!"
He grabbed with his big hand, and the rolling demonic energy gathered in his hand into a huge black demonic sword, which slashed down angrily and slashed towards Xia Daoyun.
whoosh!
At this moment, a statue of the Goddess of Luo River appeared behind Xia Daoyuan.
Astonishing power emanated from the Dharma image, directly piercing through the void and shattering the magic sword formed by the demonic energy.
Xia Daoyun's real body was already above the top demon lord, and he swung his sword down with an extremely unreasonable and domineering force.
The top demon lord roared, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, mixed with fear, and his palms suddenly changed into a strange seal. The rolling demonic energy in Jianluo King City gathered at an astonishing speed and turned into a dark demon seal blocking in front of him.
Bang!
The Niu Er sword and the magic seal collided fiercely, and earth-shaking waves impacted everywhere, distorting the space.
The magic seal in front of the top-level demon lord shattered, and bloody sword marks appeared on his body. His figure was even shaken thousands of feet away, and the demonic energy surrounding his body also faded a little.
Obviously, in this fight, Xia Daoyun had the absolute upper hand again.
However, the demonic energy that had been reduced from the top-level Demon Lord's body soon became dense again with the support of the Demon Plant Sacrifice King who guarded Jianluo King City, and the wounds healed at an astonishing speed.
"Haha, Xia Daoyun, you are indeed too strong, but it is wishful thinking for you to want to kill me in Jianluo King City!" The top demon lord naturally understood his own advantages and sneered wildly without any scruples.
"Everyone, help me to kill the enemy together!" At this moment, the remaining dozens of demon shadows had also arrived, and the top demon lord was more confident.
Xia Daoyun glanced these powerful demon cultivators, took a step forward, and took the initiative to attack.
This was the second battle she had experienced since she was promoted to Sword Immortal.
The incarnation of Luohu was too strange and suppressed her everywhere, leaving her with no place to use her strength. However, the demon cultivators in front of her were not as powerful as the incarnation of Luohu, so they were just suitable for her to verify her own combat effectiveness.
At this moment, the sword art and sword techniques merged into one, with infinite power.
These demonic shadows were powerful enough, and they had the blessing of the Sacrifice King, but facing the current Xia Daoyun, they were still not strong enough and were completely suppressed.
puff!
Niu Er cut through the sky, and a high-level demon lord screamed, his body torn into pieces, unable to withstand Niu Er's tyranny.
Even more miserable than him was another high-level demon lord. Not to mention his physical body, even his soul exploded and he was destroyed on the spot.
He was a high-level demon lord, and he fell just like that.
"Xia Daoyun, stop being so arrogant!" The leading top demon lord was very courageous and took the initiative to bear the lion's share of the frontal offensive, but he still could not change anything.
After beheading four or five demon lords in succession, Xia Daoyun, with his earth-shaking momentum, flew up on his sword, no longer wanting to fight, and flew away.
Faced with this scene, the Demon Lords of Jianluo King City didn’t know what to do for a moment.
Chase?
In Jianluo Royal City, they were all suppressed so badly. If they left the royal city and without the support of the Sacrifice King, wouldn't they be no match for the enemy?
Don’t chase?
Xia Daoyun broke into the royal city alone, stole their holy objects, then defeated his enemies and left in a swagger.
How are they going to explain this to the Three Masters then?
However, just as they hesitated because of hesitation in their hearts, Xia Daoyuan's figure had turned into a black dot and disappeared into the horizon.
The sword cultivator's escape speed is the best among the six cultivators, not to mention that she is also a sword immortal!
…
Jianluo Royal City, Mingyue Mansion.
In the dark secret room, evil energy was surging.
Ying Mingyue stood up and pushed open the door that had not been opened for a long time.
"Miss." A maid was already waiting outside the secret room.
"Did something happen?"
Ever since Qingge disappeared with the Demon-Slaying Sword 20 years ago, Ying Mingyue, Qingge's fiancée, has never had a good time.
Before Qingge disappeared, everyone was jealous of her good luck. She just found a son-in-law who was so extraordinary. She thought that in the future, she would be able to rise to a high position because of her husband's status.
But no one expected that such a big thing would happen after only three days of joy.
The three masters were furious and sent out countless people to dig deep into the ground, but they still could not find any trace of Qing Ge. After more than half a year, everyone basically agreed that Qing Ge had disappeared forever and would never appear again.
Thus, Ying Mingyue, who originally had a bright future, became a widow.
Whether it is the human race or the demon race, they all have the bad nature of taking advantage of others' misfortune. Those who were once jealous of Ying Mingyue began to gloat over her misfortune and even spread rumors behind her back.
There have been many rumors over the years.
Out of sight, out of mind. Deeply troubled by the rumors, Ying Mingyue finally chose to stay indoors and practice in seclusion in Mingyue Mansion, turning a deaf ear to what was happening outside.
Twenty years is just a moment in terms of spiritual practice. Ying Mingyue was originally far from ending her retreat, but the great battle in the royal city alarmed everyone in the royal city, including her who was in retreat.
"Miss, it's the sword immortal of the human race. The sword immortal of the human race has come to our royal city..." The maid reported the situation of the outside world to Ying Mingyue with a trembling voice, still feeling frightened.
"Human Sword Immortal?!" Ying Mingyue obviously hadn't expected this to happen, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "He's coming to our royal city?"
"It is said that the human sword fairy stole six Mangcang Battle Stele. The demon lords tried to stop her, but she killed several of them in return. Then she fled to the east in a swagger." The maid reported with an expression of disbelief but had to believe it.
"The Mangcang Battle Method Monument was forcibly taken away?!"
Everything the maid said today was beyond Ying Mingyue's imagination.
The Battle Method Monument that had stood in the royal city for who knows how many years was actually snatched away by a human cultivator...
Thinking of the Battle Monument, the memory that she had been trying to forget quietly emerged in her mind.
Ying Mingyue was stunned for a while, and finally sighed unconsciously.
Where are you now? Are you still alive?
She raised her head and subconsciously looked in the direction where the maid said the human swordsman had left.
But I saw nothing.
…
"Everything went well, but the Three Lords should have received the news. We have to leave quickly." Xia Daoyun, who returned with the battle monument, was very calm, and did not seem to take this glorious achievement to heart.
Lu Qingshan glanced towards Jianluo King City again, then retracted his gaze, nodded and said, "Let's go."
Xia Daoyun immediately took out the Jiuyou Fengshui map given by Lu Qingshan without hesitation and waved it lightly.
The next moment, the scroll unfolded, and a dry yellow river gushed out from the scroll. The mighty river water rolled up the bodies of the two people, continued to move forward, flowed into a void, and disappeared.
…
Jianluo Royal City, Mingyue Mansion.
Ying Mingyue withdrew her gaze and stopped thinking about it.
Such a big matter is obviously not her business, nor is it something she can manage.
In that case, let’s continue practicing.
So she turned and walked towards the dark room again.
…
Why do we have to know each other before we meet?
No.
There won't even be a meeting.
Some people will eventually just be passers-by.
