After the battle, the exhausted crowd carefully moved to another area to camp under Yun Xian's command, and then collapsed on the spot.
Before leaving, Yun Xian was still reluctant to part with the extremely sharp insect leg and wanted to take it off and give it to Qi Xingye to use temporarily, but was ruthlessly rejected.
As a medical practitioner, Xue Lingxiu had been protected in the rear and his injuries were not serious, so now he had to stand while everyone else lay down, and he began to treat them one by one.
Now the Sword Sect’s abundant reserves of healing herbs come in handy.
Everyone obediently reached out to treat him. Yun Xian lay there paralyzed. He had been full of energy and made no sound when he was being beaten, but now he started to groan: "Can you be gentler?"
Xue Lingxiu: “…I understand.”
Hey, why are you suddenly so easy to talk to?
Yun Xian was startled and opened his eyes to look at him. This man's handsome features were now somewhat restrained, and he seemed to be still feeling guilty, even speaking with some concessions.
How could he not take advantage of such a good opportunity to sell swords? Yun Xian coughed and said, "Suddenly, my dantian feels so empty. I really want a few cool, high-grade spirit stones."
Xue Lingxiu: “…”
He silently took out a few spirit stones and threw them into Yun Xian's hand.
Yun Xian was delighted, but he kept it to himself. He continued, "Jiang Ge is so poor that we don't even have money to eat. If there's a kind-hearted person willing to give us five thousand taels to go to a restaurant and have a meal of pickled duck, we'll remember it forever."
"?" She was still pushing it too far. Xue Lingxiu coldly twisted her wrist and said, "Eat it in your dreams."
Xue Lingxiu's kindness quickly vanished into thin air, and his sword-selling career collapsed halfway.
"Oh, no, Brother Xue." Yun Xian thought about it and suddenly felt a little worried. "This monster is a half-step Yuanying, and Liu Shi is also a half-step Yuanying. Liu Shi is equivalent to a monster. It seems that it will be difficult for us to beat him."
Qi Zhiye, who was standing next to him, didn't like what he said: "Why are you comparing them like that?"
Qiao Lingshan actually thought it made a lot of sense.
Yun Xian only loves to argue with others: "Why can't we compare like this?"
"Although they are all half-step Nascent Souls," Qi Zhiye said as a matter of course, "but Liu Shi won't suddenly lay eggs and give birth to a bunch of little Liu Shis."
Yun Xian: “…”
Xue Lingxiu: “…”
Qiao Lingshan: “…”
Qi Zhiye was puzzled: "What? Did I say something wrong?"
"...Fellow Daoist Qi, it's like this." Yun Xian said with difficulty, "You are talking about something very new."
This is a bit beyond everyone's comprehension. I can't continue thinking about it, otherwise I might not be able to sleep at night.
After Xue Lingxiu applied the medicine to Yun Xian, he just went to Qi Xingye's side, but the man turned over and avoided his hand.
Xue Lingxiu's attitude towards him was not so good. She closed her eyes slightly and asked softly, "What do you mean?"
A dagger hidden in a smile, swish swish swish.
"Who knows if you're going to extort money again?" Qi Zhiye snorted coldly, retorting, "You shouldn't be a medical practitioner. You're more suited to being a profiteer."
Xue Lingxiu was too lazy to argue with him and said, "Miss Qiao, please come over and help hold him down."
Qiao Lingshan came over and pressed his foot. It didn't move at all.
Qi Zhiye: “?”
Xue Lingxiu chuckled, and a chilling wind passed through him: "I'm going to treat you, how's that?"
Qi Zhiye: “…………”
This is a forced sale!
While someone was being rescued maliciously over there, Yun Xian took out a small, dried and yellow apple from his storage ring, took a bite, and looked at the inky black sky thoughtfully.
Liu Shi lost the jade seal, so it is impossible for her not to think of a way to get it back. She has not taken any action until now. Most likely, she did not expect that she would kidnap Qi Xingye. She thought that the spider that was half a step away from the Nascent Soul stage was enough to deal with them, so they could put it aside for the time being.
So, first, they found the fourth jade seal. Second, they could go after Buddha Township again—but she had already taken the Black Gold Bowl, so fighting Buddha Township again wasn't a wise option. Third, they could go after the Body Refining Sect, but that wasn't likely either. After all, the Body Refining Sect also belonged to the Northern Realm, so they could compete head-on for resources. However, opening the Ancient Battlefield, a mutually beneficial event, meant there was no conflict. It didn't matter whether Ji Rongxue or he held it.
Can the fourth jade seal be found?
I'm afraid that even if the person behind this did it, he wouldn't be able to do it so obviously.
Eliminating all impossibilities, there was only one option left: either they were defeated by the spider and died, and Liu Shi could come and easily retrieve them, or they managed to defeat the spider but were also severely damaged...
No matter what, the group will have another battle with Liu Shi.
The White Tiger Seal was still emitting a faint light. Yun Xian weighed it twice and wondered how he could "ignite" it.
Rumor has it that whoever ignites it will be marked by the jade seal, and when entering the ancient battlefield, their cultivation level will be temporarily improved.
The face of that passerby, so ordinary he couldn't even remember it, flashed before Yun Xian's eyes. When he first entered the area and was being hunted by the Blade Sect, he spoke to Yun Xian for the first time, sharing the news of the "free safe zone." Later, he relayed rumors of the "Jade Seal," the "ancient battlefield," and the "leader" from Qiao Lingshan and Jimo Shu, leaving out every detail.
Yun Xian stood up while eating an apple and stretched his stiff body.
Since it's just a rumor, let's wait for it to come true.
With great haste, the news of the progress of the four-way war spread to all four realms.
The Eastern Realm had not developed very well in recent years, and even had fewer spies and trustees than in other realms. When Yun Lang was still under the impression of being "a noble and cold lone wolf, a lone traveler who disdained to play tricks and the last swordsman in the four realms", he inexplicably received news from the Northern Realm.
The leader of the Sword Sect, Liu Feiran, invited the leaders of the other three realms to attend the meeting, saying that the situation in the secret realm of the war had changed and it was a matter of great importance, so he asked everyone to discuss it together.
Let’s put aside the seriousness of the matter for now. Since it concerns Yun Xian, how could Yun Lang not go? So he traveled by boat and carriage and arrived at the northern border through the border town the next day.
It was at this time that he realized that the ambitions of the Northern Territory had not been restrained at all.
They clearly knew that he was coming, and also knew that he would pass through the border town at the junction of the north and east boundaries. However, the heavy troops stationed there from the north boundary did not withdraw, and remained stationed there, facing the citizens of the east boundary on the other side behind the city wall.
In the north, everyone is martial, and the atmosphere is tense and on the verge of breaking out.
Behind a wall, the simple people of the East Border were still setting up their stalls and packing up their stalls, but even the city dwellers had already vaguely sensed the impending storm. The number of permanent residents in this small town had decreased a lot, and they were all trying to migrate to the hinterland with their families.
Yun Lang's face darkened and he walked away with a wave of his sleeves.
well.
When a country prospers, the people suffer; when a country perishes, the people suffer.
With such a heavy heart, Yun Langfang arrived, thinking that those bastards from the Northern Territory would give him disdainful looks. However, as soon as he arrived, the woman on the main seat glared at him, and the lines on her face were trembling.
He looks like he is very angry.
Yun Lang was completely bewildered. What had he done? He wasn't even late!
Liu Feiran, who had sent out invitations to many people in the Northern Realm, was ill and unable to attend. The one who attended was Liu Xin, the elder of Zhige, who was his elder sister.
Rumor has it that it was actually Liu Xin who had been controlling all matters of the Sword Sect. Apart from raising Liu Shi, Liu Feiran had not made much contribution and did not even have much say, being like a puppet sect leader.
Medical practitioner Li Chu from the Southern Realm and Master Mingfa from the Western Realm also arrived soon.
The surrounding disciples of the Sword Sect, dressed in brown uniforms, were still hurriedly preparing something and hadn't yet gotten to the point. It was the first time for all four of them to meet, so there wasn't much to say. Instead, Liu Xin sneered and said, "Sect Master Yun, you've raised your daughter well!"
Yun Lang raised his eyes: "?"
No matter how mild-tempered he was, he couldn't hold back any longer.
Yun Xian, Qiao Lingshan, and the frail little Feng Ye, three weak young men, entering the chaotic and treacherous Four Directions Secret Realm. How panicked, how frightened, how bewildered, how unpredictable must they be? Your Sword Sect, relying on its numbers and strength, might have been watching covetously from the outside, sparing no harm to your descendants. But now, in the Secret Realm, you're still using your power to bully Yun Xian? Why? This is simply too much!
Although his thoughts turned thousands of times, Yun Lang's face did not show it. He smiled calmly and said proudly, "Why do you say that, Elder Liu? Although the Eastern Realm is weak, its pride is unbreakable and it will not do anything evil. As the saying goes, even pine and cypress have their own nature, even if they are not cold. So I can only live in a thatched cottage, watching the four realms, but I do good things and have the world in my heart. Am I right?"
Liu Xin was so shocked by his self-righteous look that he was speechless.
How dare you say such a thing?
Fortunately, the other two realms didn't want to get involved in the dispute. Li Chu tapped the wooden table with his fingertips and asked, "What is it that Elder Liu invited us here for? Feel free to tell us directly."
Master Mingfa nodded slightly, "Amitabha."
Liu Xin took a deep breath, swallowing his frustration. His expression was serious as he spoke, "This four-way war is different from the previous ones. Three of the four jade seals within the secret realm have already appeared. The disciples will open the ancient battlefield in the next two days."
Everyone's face paled when they heard this: "How could this happen?! Are there any details?"
"I summoned you here today precisely for this reason." Liu Xin's face remained expressionless as he slowly laid out several life-or-death situations. "With the leader now revealed, there's no telling what's happening on the battlefield. Add to that the chaos and fighting, and casualties and losses are bound to increase significantly. But the matter is done, there's no turning back. We can only accept it."
"I hope everyone will promise that no matter how many casualties there are, they will not seek revenge, conduct investigations, or vent their anger privately. Supervisor Bei has already made this clear to all disciples before entering the secret realm—once you enter the secret realm, life or death is irrelevant."
There was a moment of silence in the spacious room.
"If you still have questions, here are the letters sent yesterday by the various supervisors."
Liu Xin turned around and motioned for his disciple to hand over the letter. "It contains the major events that have occurred recently in various circles, as well as the instructions given by the Supervisor. It is sealed tightly and no one has touched it. You can examine the handwriting as much as you want. Please take a look."
Li Chu and Master Mingfa took the letter, tore open the seal, and their faces instantly became solemn.
"Master Yun." Liu Xin said coldly, "This is yours. Take it."
Yun Lang put his finger on the envelope and moved it towards him little by little.
Naturally, like everyone else, he had to know immediately what had happened in the secret realm, what was going on with the jade seal, the whole cause and effect, and so on... But based on his understanding of his eldest disciple Su Chi, he probably didn't want to see what he saw.
Sure enough, when I tore open the seal, I saw a large piece of letter paper with only two lines of words written on the upper half.
【Cooperation with the South and West】
Obtaining the White Tiger Seal
The pen strokes are sharp and clear.
Yun Lang almost suffocated. When he looked down, he found that there was more.
Perhaps remembering his master's instructions to take care of Yun Xian, Su Chi also caught up with Yun Xian's recent situation:
[Junior sister is fine]
The word "no harm" was crossed out and changed to "Junior sister is fine".
The word "no pain" was crossed out again and changed to "junior sister is active".
At the very end, the word "active" was also crossed out. Su Chi wrote in his sharp handwriting, stroke by stroke:
[Junior sister is full of energy].
Yun Lang: “………………”
Daughter, what did you do in the secret realm, and what impression did you leave on the senior brother?
