Chapter 122 Chapter 122 The old father was furious.
Near Lingxiao Palace.
The casual cultivators came to Lingxiao Palace in groups of two or three to search for treasures, thinking that they would be lucky if they could get one or two items, but they did not expect to see such a scene.
First, bursts of fighting sounds were heard in the distance, and the energy waves caused by the collision of spiritual power were even more frightening.
Two casual cultivators witnessed everything and were very confused. Are they fighting for the treasure?
Then, a sword light across the sky surprised them even more.
The sword light was like the breaking light of dawn, a signal of daybreak.
Another breath, accompanied by a stream of energy that seemed to be real, a strong wind, and the sand blowing so hard that they couldn't open their eyes. When the two of them covered their eyes with their hands and half-closed their eyes to check, they found that half of the sky was lit up.
Two casual cultivators: “???”
Which great god's fight caused such a big commotion?
Do you want to go over and see what’s going on?
While he was hesitating, he happened to meet Yu Hanyi and his group fleeing in a hurry.
"What's going on? Lost the fight and ran away?"
"I guess so."
"Why is he wrapped up so tightly? The style of his black robe is also very strange. Is he a snow demon?"
"The Snow Demon likes white, and those people are dark..."
The two of them paused.
As the black-robed monk approached, the strong demonic aura could no longer be ignored.
“Devil—it’s a demon!!”
"This aura... is from a demon cultivator in the Void Refining Realm. Let's go!"
The two wandering cultivators were horrified.
There are demons even in the snowy land?
The demon cultivators were always violent and cruel. They saw the demon cultivators in such a miserable state, and at this moment, they happened to be blocking the demon cultivators’ escape route…
It’s better not to join in the fun!
Not only did they make such a decision, almost all the independent cultivators present made the same decision.
Among the independent cultivators, the highest level of cultivation was at the Spiritualization Stage, and the lowest was at the Golden Core Stage. The former was fine, but the latter did not hesitate at all and ran faster than the demon cultivators who were fleeing for their lives.
The wandering cultivators rushed off in another direction, putting their own protection first and not wanting to get involved in any trouble.
"Right Protector?" A demon cultivator noticed them and asked.
"No matter what." Zhu Hongbo said, "Don't waste your energy on irrelevant things. Give priority to protecting Elder Yu and other brothers and hiding them in Lingxiao Palace to avoid the limelight for a while. That spell consumes a lot of energy, and Jiang Yan can't maintain it for too long."
"Yes!" the subordinate replied.
Yu Hanyi was supported by Zhu Hongbo and ran forward quickly, not daring to expose even his fingertips.
Relying on his profound cultivation, Yu Hanyi would let his spiritual power spread across his skin in the early morning or afternoon every day to resist the burning sun, and stay in a secluded place to look at the bright world.
He is already the luckiest one among this group of resurrected demon cultivators.
Others don't have his strength.
Even so, Yu Hanyi did not dare to challenge the scorching sun at noon.
Holy light is more deadly than sunlight because it is a spell specifically designed to target monsters. Monsters will surely die if they encounter holy light.
Yu Hanyi was panting, his face gloomy.
I don't know where they learned this trick from, but I just heard the spell, and some of the syllables, rhythm and structure of the chanting seem very similar to the spell used by the great elder to summon skeleton soldiers.
It’s just that the properties are opposite, so the effects are also different.
Yu Hanyi gnashed his teeth in hatred.
Jiang Yan...
Great, I underestimated you!
After this calamity is over, I will cut you into pieces and throw you into the Blood Soul Formation as a living sacrifice!
The demon cultivators hid in Lingxiao Palace.
The Lingxiao Palace is the main hall at the center of the entire secret realm. It covers a vast area and contains several side halls. Even the side halls are several times larger than the other palaces and pavilions.
The style of the palace is very strange. The house is of traditional and elegant structure, but the decoration details such as patterns are in the style of the Snow Demon Clan.
It was because Jiang Qingsui built the cave on a whim, and it was impossible for him to build so many houses by himself. The craftsmen were secretly invited by Citroen. The snow demon did not understand the preferences of the outside world, so he naturally built according to his own aesthetics.
They encountered several cultivators along the way, and this time, the evil cultivator would not let anyone go.
If they let any one of them go, it might expose their whereabouts in Lingxiao Palace.
Some cultivators were killed before they could react. Some tried to fight back but were unable to withstand the overwhelming force of the demon cultivators.
Some people also managed to escape.
Yu Hanyi originally wanted to order people to chase after them.
After chasing for a few steps, they saw holy light spreading all the way from the sky. It was obvious that Jiang Yan and others had caught up.
"Those guys are lucky. Elder Yu, let's go into the house quickly!" The right protector said hurriedly.
Yu Hanyi glanced at them fearfully, nodded, and led his men to hide deep inside the Lingxiao Palace.
The sword cultivator's sword-flying speed was extremely fast, probably because he let a few cultivators escape and showed the way to Gu Jingyun and others. They had already chased in the direction the demon cultivator fled.
Yu Hanyi could sense that Gu Jingyun’s spiritual consciousness was “scanning” the palace, searching for their traces.
I can't keep hiding aimlessly like this! I'll get killed!
Yu Hanyi gritted his teeth. He needed some time to meditate and restore his energy.
Yu Hanyi slowly fixed his gaze on the demon clan's right protector and narrowed his eyes.
If Zhu Hongbo led a few people to stop them, perhaps they could hold out for a while.
He was thinking about his excuses in his mind, whether it was coercion, inducement, or coaxing, in short, Zhu Hongbo had to go and buy time for him.
——It doesn’t matter who dies, I can’t die!
Yu Hanyi thought.
Yu Hanyi: "Right Protector——"
Before he finished speaking, the whole palace suddenly shook several times as if there was an earthquake.
The demon cultivator who was exploring the way ahead shouted, "Elder Yu, Right Protector! A secret passage suddenly appeared here!"
Zhu Hongbo: "Let's go through the secret passage!" Then he turned around and asked, "What did Elder Yu call me for?"
Yu Hanyi changed his words as his thoughts turned: "I remembered some trivial matters. Time is tight, so I'll leave them for later."
Zhu Hongbo had no doubt and nodded.
There was a crack in the wall, which was the door to the secret passage. Because it was made of special materials, it could not be detected by divine sense. If it had not opened by itself, the demons would not have discovered that there was a secret passage here.
The subordinates used their spiritual power to push open the door, and then closed it after everyone was inside.
Once closed, the wall returns to its seamless state without any visible flaws.
Yu Hanyi signaled his subordinates to walk in front, while he and the right protector were protected in the middle, with someone else covering his rear.
"Let's go," Yu Hanyi said, "and see where this road leads to."
Everyone obeyed and moved forward.
**
The other end.
Jiang Yan and others chased into Lingxiao Palace and almost lost them because of the winding roads inside the palace.
Fortunately, Gu Jingyun's consciousness followed closely all the way and was not left behind by Yu Hanyi. Halfway through the journey, they met several monks who showed them the way, so although there was some distance between the two sides, they never lost sight of the pursuit.
The turning point came when Jiang Yan stepped into a corridor and used his spiritual sense to search for the traces of the demon cultivator like Gu Jingyun.
As soon as Jiang Yan’s spiritual consciousness came out, Lingxiao Palace was shaken.
All the hanging lamps in the palace were shaking, as were the walls. After more than ten seconds, the palace returned to calm.
"This is——" Everyone was shocked and confused.
Jiang Yan didn't say anything. He had a strange intuition in his mind.
I always feel...
Lingxiao Palace has been waiting for him for a thousand years and is calling him.
No, it’s not just Lingxiao Palace.
But the entire secret cave!
Jiang Yan stopped.
Everyone looked over and Gu Jingyun asked, "Ayan, what's wrong?"
Jiang Yan hesitated: "I think I can communicate with the secret cave and make it recognize me as its master."
Gu Jingyun asked: "Isn't it Lingxiao Palace?"
Jiang Yan shook his head: "It's a cave."
Ling Hanzhang was surprised: "How is that possible! Unless it was refined into a magical weapon by a sword immortal!"
It is not an illegal weapon and cannot recognize its owner.
It would be a huge project to refine such a huge cave into a magical instrument. Moreover, there were secret realms within secret realms, which made it even more difficult.
Jiang Yan was not sure either, so he asked quietly, "Brother?"
Gu Jingyun pondered for a while.
After the shock just now, he could no longer sense Yu Hanyi's location. If he just couldn't sense Yu Hanyi, he could still track him down through other magic cultivators.
But when all the demon cultivators disappeared from Gu Jingyun's "sight", he knew that something unexpected must have happened.
Finally, Gu Jingyun nodded and said, "You can give it a try, Ayan, be careful."
"Um."
Jiang Yan was also very decisive.
He immediately sat down cross-legged on the ground, and his consciousness left his body again, but not to track the demons. Instead, he focused on sensing and communicating with the cave.
The cave responded to him quickly.
Jiang Yan's consciousness was absorbed into the vast void.
He saw a young man in a long gown, carrying the Cangming Sword on his back, looking at him with a smile.
"Ever since we parted at Wunian Peak, I knew that we would meet again." The sword immortal said softly.
A thousand years ago, when the cave had just been built, the young sword immortal suddenly had an idea and left a phantom of his spiritual consciousness here.
The Phantom can only appear in the world for a short time, so he remains dormant until the destined person wakes him up.
Now, that person came to the Sword Immortal.
Jiang Yan's eyes lit up.
The sword master also smiled at him.
"My friend, you are finally here."
The man's voice was as soft as jade, but not gentle. Instead, it had the texture of a philosopher's stone and did not sound like a real person's voice.
The word "Dad" that Jiang Yan was about to blurt out was instantly choked in his throat.
Jiang Qingsui: "My friend, why are you silent? Are you too surprised to see me?"
"..." Jiang Yan said slowly, "Dad, I am your son."
Jiang Qingsui from a thousand years ago seemed unwilling to believe it: "My friend, stop joking. Everyone knows that I practice the Way of Mercy."
Jiang Yan: "Cangming swordsmanship does not care about being sentimental or ruthless. If you want to achieve something, the key is to ask the heaven and earth, ask the common people, and ask the swordsman's heart."
Jiang Qingsui's expression was complicated for a moment.
"This is the essence of Cangming Sword Technique. How did you know this?"
"...Dad, if you continue like this, I will really tell Mom about it." Jiang Yan said faintly, "You don't want your future self to kneel on a tree branch, do you?"
Jiang Qingsui: "..."
Why kneel on a branch?
But Jiang Qingsui tactfully remained silent and did not ask any questions.
He had seen Citroen kneeling on the ice as punishment by Xueqing many times, and he was very happy about it. In this case, he had to leave a way out for his future self.
"Dad, can't you feel the blood between us? I don't believe it." Jiang Yan said.
"Okay." Jiang Qingsui compromised, "This is indeed the reason why you can come to me. I set it up so that only parents and children can awaken my spiritual illusion."
If the parent and child come, he will personally come to meet him.
If they are not biological children, but just a little friend who meets by chance, then the entire cave is full of treasures, and how much he can take depends on his own ability.
"I just didn't expect that my future self would actually get married."
Jiang Qingsui shook his head and swallowed back the words "What's good about getting married" to avoid Jiang Yan threatening him again.
Little snitch.
Jiang Qingsui complained in his heart.
Jiang Yan was concerned about the situation outside and was afraid that Yu Hanyi might run away, so he quickly got to the point: "Dad, can the cave recognize me as its master? Or, if a few demons ran in and I lost them, can you help me find them?"
"Demon?" Jiang Qingsui frowned. "A cultivator who has gone astray and betrayed the righteous path?"
A thousand years ago, there were no monsters in the world of immortal cultivation.
Jiang Yan thought about it, and explained the origins of the demon clan as briefly as possible, and then said frankly that he had traveled here from another place.
Jiang Qingsui pondered for a while: "If it is true as you said, then, Yan'er, you must be the savior chosen by heaven. If you want to go back, you must complete your mission."
The sword immortal pointed at Jiang Yan's sword with his chin as a hint.
Jiang Yan gripped the Demon-Breaking Sword tightly with a serious expression.
"Yes, father!" Jiang Yan said seriously, "I will slay demons and uphold justice!"
He is like a qualified savior.
Jiang Qingsui, who was always casual, said: "..."
His future son turned out to be of this character.
How can this be possible?
If he really gets married and has children, he will definitely teach him from a young age what it means to be selfless and do whatever one wants, teach him to fly freely with a sword and enjoy the happiness that the strong wind brings to sword practitioners.
Jiang Yan didn't know what his father was thinking and why he stopped talking again.
Anyway, he was very anxious: "Dad! Help me catch the monster!"
Jiang Qingsui waved his hand and said casually: "My phantom body can't last long. Go catch it yourself later."
Jiang Yan couldn't believe it.
Then how dare you keep talking about irrelevant things and wasting my time?
"I want--" Jiang Yan opened his mouth without hesitation.
"Don't tell your mother about it!" Jiang Qingsui had a huge headache.
Jiang Yan glared at him accusingly.
After all, he is his own son.
Jiang Qingsui touched the top of Jiang Yan's head, then pulled up the young man's right hand and scratched it with his index finger, leaving a small cut on the tip of the young man's index finger.
The blood coagulated into a small blood bead, and Jiang Qingsui waved his hand again, and the wound on Jiang Yan's index finger healed instantly.
Jiang Qingsui took out a white jade bracelet, and the blood bead floated towards the bracelet and melted into it. In an instant, the white jade bracelet turned into a transparent red jade color.
"Here." Jiang Qing casually stuffed the bracelet into Jiang Yan's palm, "Now, the cave is yours. The entire secret cave will be visible to you. It will be useless even if those demon cultivators run far away."
"Everywhere in the cave is a resource suitable for different schools of cultivation. Sword cultivation, formation cultivation, medical cultivation...even if you want to cultivate poison, I have prepared it."
Jiang Qingsui smiled and said, "Son, please don't despise the gift I gave you."
Jiang Yan held the bracelet tightly and asked, "What about you? Dad, can't your illusion stay with me?"
Jiang Qingsui: "I'm going to disappear soon."
A look of disappointment appeared on Jiang Yan's face.
"An illusion is an illusion after all, and what is fake is fake. Yan'er, you should focus your eyes on the reality, not on nothingness." Jiang Qingsui said.
"I understand." Jiang Yan replied.
The void of space is about to dissipate.
Jiang Qingsui seemed to remember something and asked casually, "So you traveled through time and space to join the Sword Sect? How is the Sword Sect doing now?"
Jiang Yan said honestly: "Everything is fine in the Sword Sect. I am not a disciple of the Sword Sect, but I am dating the Sword Sect's young master as my boyfriend!"
Jiang Qingsui: "...Hmm?"
Jiang Yan: "Dad, I am a disciple of the Hehuan Sect. Do you have a secret realm suitable for Hehuan Sect training? Where is it?"
Jiang Qingsui: “???”
Jiang Qingsui: "Are you from the Hehuan Sect——?!"
"Yeah!" Jiang Yan looked very proud and complacent, "In this sect competition, I won first place on behalf of the Hehuan Sect, number one in the world!"
The illusion collapsed very quickly.
The sword immortal's pupils trembled, his face was blank, and disbelief was written all over his face.
At the last moment, Jiang Yan asked loudly: "So is there a solution?"
The swordsman came back to his senses and was furious: "No! There is no way!!!"
The old father was furious: "Stay away from that brat! If he dares to touch you, I will break his legs—"
Before Jiang Yan could say anything good about Gu Jingyun, he felt a flash before his eyes and a dizzy sensation.
When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to reality.
Many people are concerned:
"Ayan, are you okay?"
"Immortal Lord!"
"Hey, why is there a bracelet in your hand?"
The last sentence was asked by Ling Hanzhang.
Jiang Yan lowered his head and spread out his palms. A red jade bracelet lay quietly in his palms.
"This is the cave. It has melted my blood and has recognized me as its master." Jiang Yan explained as he put on the bracelet.
The red jade and the snow-white and delicate skin create a sharp contrast in color, making them even more beautiful.
"I'll find out where they are." Jiang Yan said.
He sank into consciousness, and everything that happened in the cave was clearly visible before his eyes.
“…Found it.”
Jiang Yan murmured softly, he took Gu Jingyun's hand and stood up.
"He accidentally entered the secret training room that my father prepared for me, and now he is trapped inside and can't get out." Jiang Yan said with a smile.
After hearing this, everyone felt relieved and a little gloating.
This time they really couldn't escape.
Gu Jingyun: "Then let's go to the secret room and catch the turtle in the jar."
Jiang Yan nodded.
All walked together for a while.
Jiang Yan suddenly pulled Gu Jingyun a few steps behind, leaned close to the man's ear, and whispered, "Brother, I just saw Dad."
Gu Jingyun was surprised and asked, "What did father say?"
Jiang Yan suppressed his laughter: "He said that if you touch me, he will break your legs."
Gu Jingyun: “…………”
