Chapter 162 Guardian Spirit 30

"Nian Zi actually succeeded!" Ban Xi and Zhan Bingyun said happily outside the valley.

Although they all had confidence in Xie Yinian, they were still shocked when the facts were really in front of them.

"How is it possible..." Xie Chuan's shock was mixed with strong reluctance.

A faint sweetness flowed from his throat, and his body exuded an unconcealable loss of soul.

Xie Zuo was not as out of control as Xie Chuan, but his eyes were filled with deep worry.

Xie Yinian has been recognized as the master of the imperial weapon, Yao Rong is still alive, and the lineage of the former patriarch, which has been silent for more than ten years, is expected to be revived again...

"This time, we have mobilized so many troops, and finally we did not return in vain." Lu Hexuan, Zhou Tianshi, Tang Tianshi and others all felt relieved.

And those players who were not familiar with Xie Yinian were just pure envy and hatred.

With all kinds of emotions, everyone looked up at the valley entrance, waiting for Xie Yinian to come out of the valley.

But the next second, Xie Yinian did not appear at the valley entrance, but a sword-wielding figure wearing a black cloak and a hood suddenly appeared.

Xie Zuo, Zhan Bingyun and others changed their faces.

Lu Hexuan, Zhou Tianshi and others had never seen Yao Rong, but they guessed her identity from the strong yin energy emanating from her body, and subconsciously tightened their weapons.

The knees of those young Tianshi who were not strong enough had already begun to weaken.

Xie Yinian came out holding the Zhaodan Sword and saw this scene.

He stared at Yao Rong's figure, his pupils slightly dilated, and his eyes burst into uncontrollable joy.

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he would have trotted to Yao Rong's side with a happy and brisk pace.

However, Lu Hexuan misunderstood Xie Yinian's shock as fear.

Lu Hexuan thought of the threatening email that the Tianshi League received a few days ago, and he was worried and scared.

They blocked the news so strictly, how did the Ghost King find this place?

This Ghost King came here on purpose, could it be that he wanted to get rid of Xie Yinian and strangle this genius who has not yet grown up in the cradle! ? There

are many people who hold the same idea as Lu Hexuan, and Xie Zuo can't wait for the Ghost King to kill Xie Yinian immediately.

"Everyone seems very nervous?"

A chuckle that can't be distinguished between men and women came from under the black robe.

Lu Hexuan and Zhou Tianshi looked at each other.

They were the highest-ranking Heavenly Masters present. Logically, they should be the ones to come forward and deal with the Ghost King.

Zhan Bingyun's eyes turned to Xie Yinian uncontrollably, trying to wink at him.

I don't know if he received Zhan Bingyun's gaze, but before Lu Hexuan and Zhou Tianshi could speak, Xie Yinian said, "Master Ghost King, why are you here?"

The questioning tone was so natural that Lu Hexuan and Zhou Tianshi swallowed the words that were about to come out of their mouths.

Yao Rong said calmly: "I sensed the movement of the Zhaodan Sword, and knowing that it had been reborn, I followed its movement and came to see the excitement. I didn't expect that the new master of the Zhaodan Sword was an acquaintance."

The Zhaodan Sword in Xie Yinian's hand suddenly trembled violently, as if it wanted to fly out of the scabbard to deal with Yao Rong.

Xie Yinian held the Zhaodan Sword tightly and suppressed all its movements.

"Don't draw the sword?"

Xie Yinian said seriously: "There is a huge gap between my strength and that of Lord Ghost King. Drawing the sword will only lead to death. I am not afraid of death, but I don't want to make such a fearless sacrifice."

No one thought Xie Yinian did anything wrong.

Xie Yinian had just been recognized as the master of the Zhaodan Sword, and there was no way he could be a match for the Ghost King.

Forget about drawing the sword to show integrity. The Tianshi League had mobilized a large number of troops and spent so much manpower and material resources to finally find a Tianshi who could draw the Zhaodan Sword. If Xie Yinian died in the blink of an eye for that illusory integrity, the people of the Tianshi League would be really angry to death!

Yao Rong's tone was icy, like quenched snow: "If you don't draw your sword, won't you die?"

Xie Yinian said calmly: "Two months ago, you had the chance to kill me, but you didn't. There is no reason to do it now either."

"You have been recognized as the master of the imperial weapon. Isn't this a reason?"

"There are so many talented people in the Tianshi world. If I die, there will be a new master of the Zhaodan Sword in the future. Geniuses can never be killed, so in my opinion, this is not a reason. With your strength, don't you have the heart to accommodate your opponents? Besides, I am not even your opponent now."

Yao Rong turned the long sword in his hand: "You are really brave. You dare to bargain with me."

Xie Yinian showed a relieved expression.

Yao Rong held the long sword horizontally in front of him and gently pulled out the scabbard: "The sword in my hand is called Yin Sha. It's a pity that after getting this sword, I have never fully exerted its power. I let you go that day because I didn't think you would be a threat to me. I let you go today because I want to have a good fight one day. Is it the master of the sword? I am looking forward to your future. I hope you won't keep me waiting too long."

After saying this, Yao Rong closed the scabbard again.

When the black mist dissipated again, Yao Rong's figure completely disappeared from the spot.

***

Yao Rong and Xie Yinian went back and forth, singing a duet in front of the public.

But in the eyes of others, it was Xie Yinian who used his lip sniper and verbal sword to resolve a massacre that was likely to happen!

Nowadays, there are many Tianshi who can fight.

But it is so rare to find a Tianshi who can fight, has talent, and is very eloquent.

Lu Hexuan and Zhou Tianshi looked at Xie Yinian with increasingly gentle eyes.

Everyone finally had the mind to look at the Zhaodan Sword.

The Zhaodan Sword inserted into the boulder was simple and restrained.

After it was pulled out, the dust covering the sword was completely cleared away, and the dusty sword also radiated its brilliance.

Although the sword body is still in the scabbard, it still makes people who stare at it feel a sense of crisis as if their eyes are approached by a sharp blade.

In order to relieve this discomfort, everyone quickly looked away, not daring to look directly at the Zhaodan Sword for a long time.

It is indeed an imperial weapon, and even looking directly at it is not allowed. Everyone sighed and looked at Xie Yinian with wild eyes.

Xie Yinian walked up to Lu Hexuan and Zhou Tianshi, holding his sword and saluted, saying, "Two seniors, I am honored to have served you well."

Lu Hexuan laughed and said hello three times.

Zhou Tianshi couldn't hide his joy, "It's not too late now. Since you have got the Zhaodan Sword, let's prepare to go back to the city." Although

Xie Yinian's words resolved a possible crisis, for safety reasons, it is better to evacuate here quickly, lest the Ghost King regrets and kills back. When

the others heard this, they were also happy. Finally, they can leave this deserted ghost place!

There were many tents set up on the open ground, and there were also a lot of supplies piled up, but these things would be taken away by the Tianshi League later, and Xie Yinian and his companions only had to pack up their own luggage.

Half an hour later, everyone gathered outside the tent again and set off to leave the valley.

After watching them go away, Yao Rong, who had been hiding nearby, entered the valley.

When Yao Rong was talking to Xie Yinian just now, she felt a paper crane quietly fly into her sleeve. There was only a short sentence on the paper crane, telling her that the ancestors of the Yao family were buried in the valley.

Yao Rong circled the valley and finally found the tombstone behind a boulder.

She bowed to the tombstone and said softly, "Yao Rong of the Yao family, meet my great-aunt."

The long wind blew into the desolate valley, making a sobbing sound, like a lonely elegy, echoing in the valley for a long time.

On the other side, Xie Yinian was also talking to Lu Hexuan about the tombstone.

Lu Hexuan was surprised: "The ancestor of the Yao family is buried in the valley? Why didn't you tell me before? If you had told me, I would have brought others in to worship her."

Xie Yinian thought, of course it's because my mother wants to worship first. You have no relationship with the ancestor, you can't be in front of my mother.

"The ancestors won't mind these false formalities. I'm telling Senior Lu now because I hope the Tianshi League will allow me to return to the valley in the future and move the ancestors' tombs to the Yao family's ancestral tombs."

The Yao family no longer exists, but the ancestral tombs have always been preserved.

People at that time emphasized returning to one's roots. Xie Yinian, who inherited Yao Chan's skills, knew Yao Chan's obsession with returning home.

As the heir of the Yao family's mental method, he wanted to take back the Zhaodan Sword and his ancestors.

Lu Hexuan patted Xie Yinian on the shoulder and said with a smile: "No problem, if there is anything that the Tianshi League needs help with, just ask. The Tianshi League will try its best to arrange anything that can be arranged."

Xie Yinian hurriedly thanked them and returned to the line.

Many Tianshi who were not familiar with him gathered around him and tried to get close to him.

On the contrary, Xie Chuan, who had always been the most popular, fell to the end of the team alone.

Occasionally, someone came to talk to Xie Chuan, but was scared away by his gloomy look and was unwilling to stay by his side and be cold-faced.

When they returned to the city, it was already early in the morning.

Xie Yinian originally wanted to get off the bus halfway and take a taxi back to the Zhao family, but as soon as he said this, he was persuaded by Tianshi Zhou.

Tianshi Zhou smiled and said, "Many people want to see you and the Zhaodan Sword. And the Tianshi League also has some extra arrangements for you."

Xie Yinian had no choice but to sit back and sent a message to Yao Rong: [QAQ I'm staying in a hotel tonight]

[Mom: What's wrong? 】

【Niangao: They said that the Tianshi League has some extra arrangements for me】

【Mom: Isn’t this a good thing? 】

Xie Yinian blinked and thought for a moment with his sleepy brain, but still couldn’t think of anything good to happen.

Before he could ask, Yao Rong sent another message: 【You are the master of the Zhaodan Sword, the Tianshi League will definitely let you join them. And this is just the most basic benefit. 】

Xie Yinian: !!!

He has heard Ban Xi complain many times that the Tianshis have been trying so hard to get into the Tianshi League, and they have to take all kinds of written tests, interviews, and practical tests... The test lasts for half a year, and only Tianshis who are excellent in all the tests will be selected into the Tianshi League.

Binding the imperial weapon actually comes with such a good thing!

This is really great, from now on he will also be the one who holds a job for the country!

At two o'clock in the morning, the car finally arrived at the destination.

As soon as Xie Yinian got off the car, he was surrounded by dozens of people in

Taoist robes. They looked at the Zhaodan Sword with infatuated eyes. They were obviously the elders of the Tianshi world who were admired by countless people, but now they were all timid. They wanted to touch the Zhaodan Sword, but they were afraid of angering the Zhaodan Sword.

But some people did not come forward, standing outside the crowd and looking at Xie Yinian quietly.

Xie Yinian followed that gaze and looked over.

When he saw the other person's face, which was 80% similar to Xie Chuan, Xie Yinian narrowed his eyes.

Chief Xie's cunning and methods are much higher than Xie Chuan's. He showed no anger or retaliation. He nodded to Xie Yinian and moved his eyes to Xie Chuan and Xie Zuo.

"Brother..." Xie Zuo opened his lips, a look of shame on his face.

Chief Xie looked at the depressed Xie Chuan and said calmly, "Go back first."

***

Things were indeed similar to what Yao Rong expected.

As soon as Xie Yinian woke up, he was dragged to the Tianshi League in H City for a meeting.

In the meeting room, except for him, the lowest-ranking people were the guest elders of the Tianshi League.

The meeting was presided over by the leader of the Tianshi League himself.

The leader of the Tianshi League is a legendary figure. He was not born in any family or Taoist temple, but was a casual cultivator. He relied on his outstanding achievements to suppress everyone and climbed to his current position step by step.

Perhaps because of his experience as a casual cultivator, the leader of the Tianshi League, um, is notorious for being stingy.

He is so stingy that Xie Yinian, who has never paid much attention to gossip, has heard about his reputation many times.

At the meeting, the leader of the Tianshi League announced some arrangements for Xie Yinian. The first was to let Xie Yinian join the Tianshi League. The second was to let Xie Yinian report his whereabouts to the Tianshi League every time he was on a mission. This was to prevent the Zhaodan Sword from being lost again. The third was various arrangements for the relocation of Yao Chan, the ancestor of the Yao family.

Just when Xie Yinian thought that the matter was over, the leader of the Tianshi League crossed his hands and said with a smile: "As the master of the Zhaodan Sword, your cultivation is still a little low."

"So after discussion, we decided: In the next 20 years, the Tianshi League will provide you with sufficient cultivation resources every year for free."

"Medicine, talismans, magic tools, materials... whatever you need, just ask the Tianshi League. As long as it is used on you, we will open the door to convenience."

"All the Taoist books collected by the Tianshi League will also be open to you. Later, I will have someone increase your authority in the Tianshi League to the level of law enforcement elder."

Xie Yinian opened his mouth and was shocked by the Tianshi League's generosity.

Although the Tianshi League is rich, his cultivation resources are just a drop in the bucket for the Tianshi League, but this undoubtedly shows the sincerity of the Tianshi League.

With these cultivation resources, he can improve his cultivation faster and without worries.

"Thank you, leader." Xie Yinian hurriedly thanked him.

The leader of the Tianshi League smiled, trying to suppress the pain, and said righteously: "This is the necessary investment for the Gallbladder Sword Master. We all hope that you can grow up to be independent as soon as possible."

Alas, in fact, he didn't want to give so much at the beginning.

But at dawn, he was awakened by Lu Hexuan's series of life-threatening phone calls.

On the phone, Lu Hexuan told him everything about the conversation between Xie Yinian and the Ghost King.

After learning that the Ghost King had actually challenged Xie Yinian to a battle and said "I hope you won't keep me waiting too long", the leader of the Tianshi League immediately decided to make additional investments in Xie Yinian.

The Ghost King might have just said it casually, but he couldn't just listen to it! Otherwise, if the ghost king gets impatient and decides to start a killing spree ahead of time, he won't even have anywhere to cry!
