Chapter 883: Chapter 48: Xie Xuanyi! (Part 2)

Dragon Vein energy is the very foundation upon which Da Sui Sword Palace was established!

How could such a thing be handed over to others?

Although True Hidden Peak has collected quite a bit of intelligence, it’s really difficult to draw the conclusion of “Dragon Vein” from this information.

This news is somewhat ridiculous and frightening.

“…”

Zhao Tongtian clutched the Jade Order, his expression subtle for a moment.

He looked meaningfully at Fire Master.

Chen Jingxuan’s arrangement was quite profound…

The news of Ren Shou Palace plotting for the Dragon Vein is too crucial!

If anyone else were to report it, not to mention meeting Zhao Tongtian, even stepping into the main gate of the Sword Palace would require quite a wait!

Only with Fire Master’s personal arrival could the situation be as it is now —

In terms of power, Fire Master is at Great Perfection of the Yin God Realm, the leading tier below the Yang God Realm, capable of reaching the “Mountain Peak” realm at any moment! In a one-on-one combat, when the Yin God realm cultivators from the Da Chu and Da Li dynasties are selected, at best they can only hold even against him. Even Tang Fengshu, the top Pavilion Master of the Taoist sects, cannot claim to take him down.

This is the top enforcer of Fangyuan Square and even the Book Tower, rarely appearing publicly.

Fire Master’s direct delivery of the Jade Order proves the importance of Chen Jingxuan’s message.

“That Chen lad is usually pragmatic and acts steadily.”

Zhao Tongtian pondered for a moment and said slowly, “Though the veracity of this news can’t be verified… I am fifty percent inclined to believe it.”

“However—”

His tone turned.

Zhao Tongtian said neutrally, “The fortune of Da Sui Sword Palace has been suppressed under the main peak for a thousand years. It’s not something that madwoman can take as she pleases.”

Fire Master received this answer and couldn’t help but sigh lightly.

He knew it would turn out like this.

Chen Jingxuan had long advised that though this Tongtian Law Enforcement Master is loyal and just, he is quite proud. Da Sui Sword Palace certainly has a reason to be proud, but with looming catastrophes, no slack or negligence can be afforded.

“You already have a Divine Soul Order with Mr. Yan Xin, haven’t you?”

Fire Master cautiously opened his mouth.

“…”

Zhao Tongtian frowned.

“Mr. Yan Xin was invited into the Imperial Palace not long ago.”

Fire Master sincerely said, “If I guess correctly, also invited into the Imperial Palace is… Qin Ancestor.”

“You… what do you mean?”

Zhao Tongtian’s expression became serious.

“The Holy Empress wants to gather four Dragon Veins. Da Sui Sword Palace is just one of them.”

Fire Master spoke word by word: “According to the gentleman’s calculations, Da Sui Sword Palace is likely the last Dragon Vein… North Sea, Taoist sects, Martial Veins all gathered together, Ren Shou Palace will then act on Da Sui.”

“Act upon…”

Zhao Tongtian stood in the pavilion and sneered.

He spoke softly: “Our Da Sui Sword Palace is founded here, neither dodging nor avoiding. I’m curious to see what means Ren Shou Palace can employ?”

In this world, the higher one’s status, the loftier one’s actions, the more one must pursue rightful name and justification.

Just like the current grand endeavor of “Exorcising Demons” being carried out with much fanfare.

In name, it is the various Holy Lands punishing evil spirits.

But in reality… it’s merely a pretext.

Da Sui Sword Palace is the most powerful and orthodox Sword Cultivator Holy Land of the Da Chu Dynasty.

What excuse would the Imperial Family use to attack?

Following Chen Jingxuan’s advice, the Fire Master handed over a second Jade Order at this moment.

Zhao Tongtian received the Jade Order.

Within the Jade Order, only three characters were written.

These three characters left Zhao Tongtian silent for a moment.

“Xie Xuanyi.”

This Jade Order contains the name of someone who died ten years ago.

But it… is precisely the biggest weakness of Da Sui Sword Palace. Seeking rightful name to launch an attack against Da Sui Sword Palace isn’t too difficult; the Holy Empress laid the groundwork ten years ago. The supposedly concluded “Regicide Case” of that time still left a trace, a trace that could be re-opened at any moment.

Very few people know about this matter; Zhao Tongtian knew it couldn’t be concealed, but he didn’t expect it to be so soon.

In fact, upon reflection.

It isn’t really too soon.

Little Xie has already cultivated to Yin God… Perhaps this journey to the South Border might restore him to his peak state of ten years ago. The final act severed ten years ago is being completed precisely at this moment.

This Jade Order reaching his hands.

Signifies that the regicide case in Moon Hidden Cave Heaven will undoubtedly stir again.

“…”

Zhao Tongtian opened his mouth, hesitated, and then stopped speaking. He looked at the Fire Master, uncertain of whether the Fire Master had seen the Jade Order or how much he knew about “Xie Xuanyi.” He wanted to continue the conversation in another direction, but soon the sound of bells and drums came from outside Golden Turtle Peak, signaling the arrival of law enforcement disciples requesting an audience.

Zhao Tongtian frowned.

He initially wanted to refuse entry but the bells and drums persisted urgently, without any sign of stopping.

Zhao Tongtian used his Divine Thought to lift the restriction.

Soon, a young disciple, riding on a sword, stumbled into the Sword Qi Forest and arrived at the pavilion.

“Master of Law… Master of Law!”

The disciple looked anxious, struggling to speak coherently.

“What has you in such a panic?”

Zhao Tongtian said in a deep voice: “Panicking like this, what kind of manners are those! Even if the sky falls, I and the Sect Leader will uphold it… Take a deep breath before you speak!”

Though it was a stern reprimand,

he subconsciously flicked his sleeve, placing a cup of warm tea in front of the disciple.

“Master of Law.”

The disciple dared not refuse the tea, gulped it down, and then quickly said: “The South Border, something has happened over there—”

The words “South Border” dropped like a stone into a lake.

Zhao Tongtian squinted his eyes.

“The Three Great Sects rebelled, colluding with the Paperman Sect to launch a night attack… Seven Zhanjiao Mountains of Great Chu suffered heavy losses!”

“Wu Zhexian perished in battle!”

“Ye Zhu was gravely injured!”

“Of the cultivators who went south this time to eradicate the Evil Sect, over half were killed or injured!”

Each piece of news crashed onto Zhao Tongtian’s Heart Lake like a giant stone.

The Holy Land of Great Chu set out together to pacify the South Border, only to end in defeat?

What an absurd occurrence!!!

The once-calm Zhao Tongtian could no longer contain himself: “What about my Sword Palace disciples?”

This time, Ren Shou Palace specially made a list for the southern expedition, explicitly naming “young people” to participate in the demon-sweeping mission. Perhaps because Da Sui Sword Palace had just begun recruiting disciples, or perhaps Ren Shou Palace targeted someone of the Xie surname; hence, there were few Sword Palace disciples involved, with only two Zhao Tongtian was concerned about.

Xie Zhen. Xu Nianning.

“Xu Nianning is safe and sound.”

The disciple quickly responded: “True Hidden Peak has already received a message sent by the Xu Family of Bingzhou through the Lotus Token… Although this battle in the South Border resulted in heavy casualties, Ye Zhu and Zhou Ceng have already led the participants away to rest within the Baihua Valley Cave Heaven. Due to his severe injuries, Ye Zhu closed off the cave for recuperation and only recently reopened it. The tragic news from the South Border happened a day ago.”

“Alright…”

Zhao Tongtian, not waiting for a reply, quickly asked: “What about Xie Zhen, how is Xie Zhen? Was he injured?”

“Xie…”

The disciple looked complicated, cautiously watching the Master of Law, seemingly trying to discern something.

“What?”

Zhao Tongtian wiped his face, a strange premonition arising in his heart.

“Xie Zhen… is still alive.”

The disciple said in a peculiar tone: “However, he remains in the South Border.”

Zhao Tongtian was stunned for a moment.

“What is he still doing in the South Border?”

Worry was evident in Zhao Tongtian’s eyes, and he anxiously asked: “Did you not say that everyone followed Ye Zhu and Zhou Ceng left? Has Xie Zhen encountered any accident?”

“Master of Law.”

The disciple cautiously glanced at the Fire Master, not recognizing this mysterious person.

The disciple gave a bitter smile: “Now everyone outside has gone crazy with rumors. I don’t know if I should speak.”

“…?”

Zhao Tongtian exchanged glances with the Fire Master.

Zhao Tongtian, somewhat irritable, said: “Since the rumors are already widespread, what’s there to hide?”

“…Yes.”

The disciple bowed his head, speaking excitedly: “Though the demon-sweeping mission led to severe losses for Great Chu, the Three Great Sects have been eradicated.”

Zhao Tongtian was struck dumb.

The Fire Master was also stunned.

“Ye Zhu was severely injured, and Zhou Ceng led the survivors of the Various Holy Lands out of the South Border.”

“Xie Zhen alone annihilated all the Evil Spirits of the Three Great Sects…”

“White Ghost, Red Immortal, Green Owl, Daoist Bai, Mo Taoist, Joyful Zen Master, Master of Unity Zen…”

“Seven Pseudo-Saints, all perished!”

As the disciple spoke, his body trembled even more: “Xie Zhen! Is Xie Xuanyi!”
