Even though the Holy Sword is no longer there, the Sword Immortal no longer needs them to guard it...
But that is also the belief of countless ancestors.
Shen Qingyi didn't expect that there was his own cause and effect involved.
So many things happened after she committed suicide.
A quick glance today revealed that many of the buildings did not seem to be built by the spiritual power of monks, but were built by piling up stones one by one.
What Xiaohua and the others want is a place to survive and to stay alive.
But she understood that in this world of immortal cultivation, where mortals and cultivators coexist, a true "paradise" did not exist.
Just like that "golden age", it was nothing but an obsession.
But even if there is no absolute fairness in the world, we should not give up pursuing it.
"Tell me where the City Lord's Mansion is, let's go take a look."
Xiaohua widened his eyes in surprise.
"I...I'll take you there right now!"
Protected by Shen Qingyi's spiritual power, the two of them moved through the crowd as if no one was there.
Xiaohua was amazed.
"Senior, they can't see us?!"
Shen Qing nodded.
"I created a magic trick, it was like an illusion. They couldn't see us, but we could see them."
Xiaohua looked at Shen Qingyi with great admiration.
"Senior, you are the most powerful immortal I have ever seen! Hmm... one of them..."
The original tone was affirmative, but the last sentence added made it seem a little lacking in confidence.
Shen Qingyi smiled lightly.
"Who else?"
Xiaohua spoke with great admiration.
"There is another one, that is the Sword Immortal!"
"Sword Immortal?"
"Yes! It's the Sword Immortal! I wonder if you, senior, have ever heard of the Sword Immortal?"
In fact, Shen Qingyi had already guessed that the sword immortal and holy sword they were talking about were her and her sword.
She suddenly wanted to hear what kind of person she was in their eyes.
"Tell me about your Sword Immortal Master."
Xiaohua jumped excitedly.
"Actually...actually, I've never met the Sword Immortal, nor have I seen the Holy Sword. But I've heard that everyone in the Central Territory knows of her existence! Isn't the senior a soul cultivator? Speaking of which, the Sword Immortal has some connection to the Soul Realm. Do you know...the Great Saintess of the Western Desolate Palace in the Soul Realm?"
Shen Qing nodded.
"That's our Sword Immortal! She was incredibly powerful! Back then, she single-handedly fought countless blood-red monsters and saved countless lives! In the end, she even committed suicide in the Central Region! To commemorate her and the countless sacrifices made by our predecessors, everyone built a memorial next to the holy sword she left behind in the Central Region. Later... our ancestors moved to the Central Region. At first, they could only live on boats, carrying stones to fill the sea. Later, when land became available, we settled in the Central Region. Senior, you may not believe this, but I believe that even during the years that the Sword Immortal was away, she continued to protect us!"
Shen Qingyi listened to Xiaohua's description.
He could imagine the scene.
The war that year caused the energy in the central region to become chaotic, making it no longer suitable for cultivators to live in, but it had no effect on mortals.
But moving stones to fill the sea...how can that be a simple matter?
For a monk, it may be just a piece of cake, but for a mortal, it may be the result of the efforts of countless ancestors and countless people.
"Although the Sword Immortal Lady is in the Soul Realm, we all later learned that she had forgotten her past! We missed her terribly, and every year during the sacrifices, our family would always bring out the most delicious food. During the years when the Sword Immortal Lady's holy sword stood in the Central Region, there had never been a tsunami or storm in the Central Region. Although everyone lived a simple but happy life. Later..."
Xiaohua looked towards the center of Holy Sword City.
"Later... we heard that the Sword Immortal had gone to the Immortal Realm to participate in the Immortal Realm Competition. That's when he was recognized. And that's when we learned that the Sword Immortal's soul hadn't truly dissipated, but that he was protecting us in another way!"
Shen Qingyi was slightly stunned.
She thought... the fact that she was alive, and the many things she did afterwards, would make many people feel that she was no longer the Shen Qingyi she once was...
"That day, the Central Region was ravaged by raging waves. The sky was pitch black, and the Central Region was surrounded by huge waves. The strong winds caused the surrounding trees to sway. I heard from my grandfather that they thought they were going to die. But at the last moment, it was the Sword Immortal who saved us! Senior, you don't know how shocking the scene was when the giant sword vibrated and soared into the sky!"
“How shocking?”
"My great-grandfather said, his grandfather said at the time, everyone only heard a sigh, and then the giant sword, with a whoosh, rushed into the sky, bringing with it a blinding light that made them unable to open their eyes! The energy exploded, but they were unharmed! When they opened their eyes again, the Central Region had undergone earth-shaking changes! The holy sword disappeared, but the monsters that had been suppressed had also vanished! The Central Region was completely safe!"
Xiaohua spoke with great enthusiasm, gesticulating with his hands as he described excitedly, as if he were there too.
After saying this, Xiaohua still felt a little unsatisfied.
"Senior, how was it? Wonderful, wasn't it?"
Shen Qing nodded.
“It’s really wonderful.”
Seeing that Shen Qingyi did not show much admiration, Xiaohua scratched his head.
Maybe it was because he was young, and the person he admired gave him endless things to say.
"Actually, the Sword Immortal has more than just these deeds! I also heard that when the Sword Immortal was young..."
Shen Qingyi walked and listened.
I really didn't expect that among mortals, her life story could be compiled into a book.
Although some of them are exaggerated, many of them are real experiences.
"...Then the Sword Immortal raised his hand, and countless spiritual lights descended..."
Before they knew it, they arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.
Xiaohua then shut up and looked towards the City Lord's Mansion nervously.
In his memory, the monks in the City Lord's Mansion were very fierce.
If these residents want to visit the city lord, they will be scolded.
Xiaohua swallowed.
"Senior, can they really not see us?"
Shen Qing nodded.
"Don't worry."
Xiaohua followed Shen Qingyi and walked into the City Lord's Mansion step by step.
He was cautious at first, but when he walked past several guards from the City Lord's Mansion and they remained indifferent, Xiaohua finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I was amazed again.
He is indeed a powerful being!
Shen Qingyi's spiritual sense enveloped the City Lord's Mansion, and he immediately understood the layout of the City Lord's Mansion.
According to Xiaohua's description, the city lord's residence was found.
But when he saw the pale, even blue face of the old man lying on the bed, his brows furrowed.
At first glance, she knew that the man was sick because he had been poisoned.
Thinking about what the deputy city lord did and what Xiaohua said, I already had some guesses in my mind.
Pull Xiaohua and open the door.
The room was a little dark.
Xiaohua looked around, trying to find the city lord.
