Changsun Zijun's sword was broken, and his mind was in a mess. He barely put up any resistance to the sword prison released by Yuying Zhenren, and stood there woodenly. Yi Xichen's sword flew out suddenly, facing the thousands of golden lights, and was almost swallowed up by the golden light in an instant. But he stood in front of Changsun Zijun, not giving way!
The eldest grandson, Zijun, finally reacted. He rolled up Yi Xichen and flew back quickly. The golden light fell to the ground, forming an iron prison made of swords. Anyone trapped inside who tried to resist would be attacked by the sword energy!
The eldest grandson, Zijun, looked up at Jade Immortal. There seemed to be a blazing fire in his eyes as he spoke word by word: "This heavenly fire was not caused by me!"
Behind Jade Immortal and the elders, there were dozens of disciples who had rushed over after seeing the unusual situation. The murderous aura released by the eldest grandson Zijun made most of them tremble.
"Not you? In this Heavenly Sword Sect, in this vast area, who else besides you can summon the Heavenly Fire?!" Jade Immortal glared at him, with hundreds of sword shadows hanging around him, ready to attack his eldest grandson Zijun again at any time. "Yi Xichen! Get out of here quickly!"
"It's not him!" Yi Xichen trembled violently, "This sky fire was not summoned by him! The murderer is someone else!"
Yuying Zhenren's sword energy became even stronger: "You want to protect this traitor?!"
In Tianjian Sect, if one kills his fellow disciples cruelly, he will be expelled from the sect; and if one betrays his teacher and ancestors, he will be killed on the spot!
"I guarantee with my life that it's not him!" Yi Xichen tried hard to hold back the blood rushing to his throat. "If he is the only one in this world who can summon the Heavenly Fire, is he the only one in the six realms who can do it?!"
"If a powerful person from the outside world broke in, how could our Tianjian Sect not notice it?" Lin Zhen said, "Yi Xichen, there should be a limit to your nonsense!"
Without further ado, Yuying Zhenren shouted, "Everyone, listen up! Capture Changsun Zijun!"
Ping!
Countless precious swords were unsheathed at the same time, and the sound of metal vibrations echoed throughout the entire mountain! This was a call from the head of the sect, and no one in the sect dared to disobey!
The eldest grandson Jun's sword was broken. His face was pale, his mood changed drastically, his breathing was unstable, and he had almost no will to resist.
Explanation? The stubborn Jade Ying Zhenren would never listen to it; catch the murderer? Now they are the traitors who need to be caught; revenge? Where is the real murderer...
The eldest grandson Zijun looked at Yao Budu who was lying on the ground. The fire from the sky gradually seeped into the ground, and the fire on Yao Budu's body became fainter and fainter, and there was no life left in him.
He wanted to walk over, pick up Yao Budu, and wake him up softly. "Master, Master, are you kidding me? Master, wake up quickly..."
Yi Xichen's sword was also shaking, but he stood firm in front of his eldest grandson Zijun. He whispered, "Zijun, let's leave here and go to the Void."
The eldest grandson Zijun's reaction became very slow, but he finally turned his head and looked at Yi Xichen.
The Wanguan sword energy attacked them, and the eldest grandson Zijun used his spiritual power to form a barrier to cover him and Yi Xichen.
"Yi Xichen, come back!" Yuying Zhenren still only targeted her eldest grandson Zijun, trying to call Yi Xichen back, "Don't be so stubborn!"
The two of them turned a deaf ear to what he said. The eldest grandson, Zijun, murmured, "Go to the Void?"
"Yes, leave here first and I will explain it to you."
"good."
Thousands of sword energies were instantly deflected, the eldest grandson Zijun embraced Yi Xichen, and the two jumped onto Yi Xichen's sword and flew up.
Immortal Yuying and the elders immediately blocked their way. The tokens on the disciples' waists glowed red. This was the order issued by the headmaster to exorcise demons. All the disciples in the mountain had to set up a net on the mountain and never let the evil man go!
Even if Qiu Jian had a heart for talent, he could not be soft-hearted when facing a wicked disciple who was suspected of killing his master. With Yuying Zhenren as the center, the elders of the three sword pavilions assisting, and countless disciples pressing forward, a huge Ten Thousand Swords Formation was rapidly taking shape.
The sword energy from all directions surrounded the two of them. Yi Xichen felt that it was difficult to breathe. He turned to look at his eldest grandson, Zijun, who was also pale. The sword of the eldest grandson, Zijun, was broken. It was difficult for him to exert his sword energy, and his fighting power was weakened. Gideon, a thousand-year-old from the Heavenly Sword Sect, was extremely powerful. Not to mention the two little disciples, even if the leader of a sect was here, he might not be able to escape from the Ten Thousand Swords Formation safely!
There was no way to escape. Yi Xichen was filled with despair.
However, the red light reappeared in the sky, and several rays of fire fell! The disciples who were arranged in position quickly fled, and the formation was instantly disrupted!
Qiu Jian was shocked and said, "Chang Sun Zijun, are you crazy?!" He still had some doubts in his heart about whether Chang Sun Zijun's murder medicine was poisonous or not. However, at this moment, Chang Sun Zijun really wanted to kill his fellow disciples!
These several celestial fires were summoned by the eldest grandson, Zijun. His brows were cold and cold: "Since you believe that I am a traitor and have killed my master, if you don't let us go, I will start a killing spree!"
The two sides confronted each other, and Yuying Zhenren was furious, but he really didn't dare to act rashly. This Tongtian technique was really terrifying. If the eldest grandson Zijun really went crazy, even if he couldn't escape from the Ten Thousand Swords Formation, it would not be difficult for him to burn several people to death as his burial companions. No matter how stubborn Yuying Zhenren was, he was the master of a sect after all, and he couldn't easily risk the lives of his disciples.
Yuying Zhenren did not put away his sword, but gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I can let you go temporarily today. From now on, you are no longer a member of my Tianjian Sect. However, the heinous crime you committed will be known to the world!"
The eldest grandson, Zijun, was too lazy to waste words with him and was about to leave when he heard Yuying Zhenren say, "You go, Yi Xichen stay!"
In such a sad situation, Yi Xichen almost wanted to laugh. He was so good at speaking, but at this moment he was too lazy to say more, and just said: "I don't know why I am favored by the headmaster, but I will advance and retreat with Zijun."
Yuying Zhenren was puzzled by his decision: "Even if I accept you as my disciple?"
"I don't care."
"I can help you remove the seal on you!"
“We can solve it, too.”
"You..." Yuying Zhenren was surprised and disappointed, "You would rather be with such a heinous criminal? If you leave Tianjian Mountain, you will be guilty of betraying your master from now on!"
Yi Xichen had never been so reluctant to talk, let alone repeating the same nonsense. He directly drove his sword and flew out of the formation with his eldest grandson Jun.
While Master Yuying was still hesitant to take action, several other elders had already put away their swords - after all, this incident happened so strangely, and no one wanted to risk their own life or the lives of their disciples.
The two of them successfully escaped from the Ten Thousand Swords Formation and flew all the way towards the Sword Guard outside the mountain. However, before they left the Heavenly Sword Mountain, they were stopped by two people, who were Lu Ziyao and Xiao Kui.
Not all the disciples had rushed to the medicine house just now. After receiving the demon-exorcism order from the sect leader, the remaining disciples quickly guarded the surroundings of the mountain gate to prevent the demon from escaping. This area was guarded by Lu Ziyao and Xiao Kui.
The four of them stood in a standoff for a moment, all of them feeling awkward. Summoning Heavenly Fire is a skill that requires great powers, how can it be summoned at will? The eldest grandson Jun's spiritual power had already been used up by most, not to mention that he was in a state of confusion and his sword was broken, so he really had no intention of fighting with his fellow disciples at this moment.
Yi Xichen said: "Let us go."
Lu Ziyao looked at the two of them in shock: "What on earth did you do? How could..."
Yi Xichen shook his head. He was in a hurry to get away and the matter was too complicated to explain. He just said, "We didn't do anything bad. Senior Brother Lu, Senior Brother Xiao, if you insist on stopping us, we can only force our way in."
Lu Ziyao knew that they were in a hurry to leave. If they delayed any longer, they might be pursued. He gritted his teeth and took the initiative to make way for them: "I believe in you."
The three of them looked at Xiao Kui at the same time. Xiao Kui was stunned for a moment and was actually at a loss. Lu Ziyao said, "Junior brother Xiao, I will take care of this matter alone and will not involve you."
Xiao Kui groaned and was still confused.
Yi Xichen ignored him and flew out with his sword. Xiao Kui was still standing there in a daze and did not catch up.
The two finally managed to leave Tianjian Mountain. Yi Xichen tried his best to drive the sword and speed up the sword, just wanting to get as far away as possible. After flying for an unknown period of time, his sword suddenly lost control and fell down!
The eldest grandson, Zijun, quickly used his internal energy to support him, and the two of them finally landed safely.
They landed in an empty valley, surrounded by weeds and quiet. This place was far away from Tianjian Mountain, and no one should be able to catch up with them. Yi Xichen had reached his limit and had no strength to fly anymore. They sat down beside a big banyan tree, all with confused and sad expressions.
"Go to the Void Realm..." Yi Xichen said, "I heard that the Void Immortal Sect can summon the Heavenly Fire."
Yi Xichen's parents were burned to death by the Heavenly Fire. For so many years, he didn't even know who killed his parents. He had inquired about it, and the technique of summoning Heavenly Fire was very secretive, and no more than ten people in the six realms could use it. However, this was just a phrase used by people to describe the difficulty of controlling Heavenly Fire, but it did not mean that there were really ten people who could use it. Moreover, he did not know who could use it. It is said that this technique was created by the Fire Cloud Patriarch two thousand years ago, and later taught to several people. The leader of the Void Sect was a disciple of the Fire Cloud Patriarch, and it was said that he was also one of the people who could summon the Heavenly Fire.
But is it so easy to get to the Void Realm? The Sword of Destruction cannot fly to the Void Realm. There is a Void Sea surrounding the Void Realm, which has a strong spiritual energy as a barrier and is impossible to pass through normally.
Fortunately, the Void Sect Master accepts disciples once every ten years. At that time, he will remove the barrier and open the Void Sea. Those who are interested in seeking the truth can pass through the Void Sea and become his disciples as long as they pass the Void Sect Master's test. Yi Xichen has no intention of becoming his disciple. He just wants to meet the Void Sect Master and ask him who else in the world knows the art of heavenly fire, and who appeared in his home ten years ago and now comes to the Heavenly Sword Mountain. This secret art is difficult to learn, and very few people know it. It is not difficult to find the real culprit.
The next opening of the Void Sea will be in a few months. Originally, Yi Xichen thought that his cultivation was too low to reach the Void Sea, so he planned to cultivate for ten years before going. But now that it has come to this, he can't wait any longer.
"First, find you a new sword, and then we'll set off for the Void."
The eldest grandson, Zijun, said: "The seal on your body..."
"Never mind for now. It's hard to find all those rare treasures in a short time, and the Void Sea only opens once every ten years. If you miss it, you'll have to wait another ten years."
The eldest grandson Zijun said nothing more, which meant that he tacitly agreed to Yi Xichen's arrangement.
After making a plan, the two sat back to back, both with empty expressions, at a loss. After all, they were still teenagers, and how could they quickly find a way to cope with such a sudden change?
So I can only stare blankly in a daze until my mood naturally calms down, and then face everything.
The eldest grandson, Zijun, thought of the world in his memory again. Although it gave him everything he wanted easily, it was absurd, boring, and funny. Since he left that world, he never wanted to go back. He liked this lively world more. But now, he began to miss it. At least there, his master was still there.
Suddenly, Yi Xichen felt something move in the bag. He untied the bag and was stunned when he saw what was inside - it was the small alchemy furnace that Yao Budu made for them, which he had taken with him.
"You little bastards! Take! Medicine! Now!" Yao Budu's powerful voice echoed throughout the empty valley. It wasn't just one voice, but there were several more echoes.
Yi Xichen and his eldest grandson Zijun stared at the two pills spit out of the alchemy furnace in a daze for a long time. Finally, they reached out their hands, picked up a pill each and silently put it into their mouths.
The medicine tasted the same as always, bitter and astringent, so bitter that it made one's hair curl, and so astringent that it made one's intestines knotted.
They were in so much pain that they shed tears.
After the two of them calmed down a little, they left the valley and headed towards the nearby cultivation town of Xialin.
There are cultivation towns in many places in the world. Like martial sects, the places where cultivation towns are located are often Feng Shui treasures where spiritual energy gathers. However, the places where sects are established often need to rely on terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack to avoid being invaded by the enemy. If the terrain is open and flat, then over time it will become a cultivation town of its own where anyone can come and anyone can leave.
Unlike the sects, the cultivation town is more lively. There are all kinds of people here, many of them are independent cultivators, there are also disciples from big sects who go out to train, and even demon cultivators and ghost cultivators appear here, and of course there are many fights. There is a big market in the town, where cultivators freely sell and exchange the immortal materials and elixirs they need, and the things are much more complete than the market under the Tianjian Sect.
When Yi Xichen and his grandson Jun arrived at Xialin Town, it was already very late. They first bought two sets of casual clothes and then found a hotel to rest, waiting to choose a good sword for his grandson Jun the next day.
After entering the room, the two changed into the disciples' uniforms of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Although under the threat of the Heavenly Fire, Master Yuying temporarily let them go, but after such a thing happened, Master Yuying would never let them go easily. It would not take a few days for their bad reputation to spread throughout the cultivation world.
Although most of the cultivators are concerned about keeping to themselves and rarely interfere in other people's affairs, the entire cultivation world will jointly fight against the evil cultivators and those who have committed the ten unforgivable crimes. Therefore, before they find the real culprit and avenge Yao Bu Du, they may have to hide their identities.
The eldest grandson, Zijun, chanted a fire spell, and a ball of fire appeared at his fingertips. He stretched out his hand to the two pieces of disciple uniforms, wanting to burn them, but he hesitated and never took action.
As for the Tianjian Sect, the eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen did not have much nostalgia. However, they had practiced there for more than ten years, and the people and things there...
Seeing that his eldest grandson Zijun was hesitant, Yi Xichen said, "You should keep it."
The eldest grandson, Zijun, extinguished the fire in his hand and put away the disciple's clothes properly.
Yi Xichen sat down at the table, put their bags on the table, and began to count their finances. This time they left the mountain in a hurry, and they didn't have the chance to pack up everything. Many things were left on Tianjian Mountain and could not be brought out. Fortunately, Yi Xichen kept the spiritual stones with him.
After opening the Qiankun bag, Yi Xichen poured the contents onto the table. With a "pop" sound, a large, round, grey egg fell out of the bag, startling both of them.
"Eh!" Yi Xichen was surprised, "This guy... How come this guy is in my Qiankun bag!"
This big gray egg was the one Yi Xichen saw in the bushes that day. He ran away with the egg that day and never saw it again. He definitely did not do such a thing as putting it in his bag!
The eldest grandson Jun came over to take a look, frowned, and looked very unhappy: "Fatty?"
"Fei Ji?" Yi Xichen asked in surprise, "Do you recognize it?"
The eldest grandson, Zijun, nodded. In fact, the name Feiji was given by Yi Xichen in his memory. After the egg hatched, it became a gray, round, furry little titmouse, which chirped and got the name.
Yi Xichen poked the egg. According to the last experience, the spirit beast in the egg should have reached a certain level of cultivation, but for some reason it still refused to break out of the shell.
"Hey, wake up!" The egg that Yi Xichen poked rolled back and forth on the table, but it itself did not move.
Yi Xichen couldn't help but feel surprised. Last time it was still alive and kicking, how come it has become just an ordinary egg now?
"When did you get into my Qiankun bag? If you don't come out, I will smash your shell!"
Facing Yi Xichen's threat, the egg remained motionless, as if it had not yet matured to the point of becoming conscious.
Of course Yi Xichen would not really smash the egg. If the spirit beast's shell was broken before it was mature enough, it would be very likely to die of weakness. He had no grudge against Feiji, so he would not be so cruel.
At this moment, faced with an unexpected egg, it could neither speak nor react. The two men were helpless with it, so they just put it aside and continued to count their property.
After ordering, Yi Xichen sighed. Although they had just earned a lot of spirit stones from the people of Xuanqing Sect and Xiao Kui not long ago, they had a lot of things to buy before going to the Void Realm. In addition to buying a new sword for his eldest grandson Jun, Yi Xichen himself also needed to replenish a lot of immortal materials. Almost all of his magic tools were left in the mountains. With the spirit stones he brought, he could only choose one between his eldest grandson Jun's sword and the immortal materials he needed.
After searching through all the things he could exchange for, he still had nothing valuable, so Yi Xichen once again set his sights on the egg. He felt itchy inside, and suddenly thought that if he sold the egg, he wondered if he could get more immortal materials in exchange. Although it looked unattractive, at least it was a natural spirit beast, right?
"Zijun, which elder has this pet egg?"
"Wild."
"Wild?" Yi Xichen was incredulous. "I encountered it on Tianjian Mountain, and it was right outside the Fengqi Pavilion of the master. How dare a wild spirit beast lay its eggs in a place like that?"
The eldest grandson Zijun held up his hands. In his memory, he and Yi Xichen went out to practice when they were old enough, and it was only after they went out that they found this bird egg in the Qiankun bag. It did not belong to the headmaster or any of the elders.
Yi Xichen immediately perked up: "If it's ownerless, that would be great! How many spirit stones do you think this spirit beast egg can be exchanged for?"
The eldest grandson, Jun, looked disgusted and said, "Who wants a fat, grey bird?"
Yi Xichen scratched his hair in annoyance. It was a natural spirit beast, so it must be a nine-tailed fox or a fire lion. Was it really just an ugly grey bird? He really wanted to crack it open and take a look.
The eldest grandson, Zijun, looked at the lifeless egg. He didn't want to keep it with him at all. He was willing to sell it even if he could only get one spiritual stone. Even if he couldn't sell a single spiritual stone, it would be fine if it was thrown away in vain. He said, "If I don't tell you, no one will know what's inside. So what if I say I picked it up from a fox's nest?"
"That makes sense!" Yi Xichen stroked his chin and said, "But celestial foxes don't lay eggs, they give birth to cubs directly."
The eldest grandson, Zijun: "..."
Sky foxes don't lay eggs, fire lions don't lay eggs, black wolves don't lay eggs either. When you count them, those most valuable spirit beasts all lay little cubs when they squat down. Only birds, turtles, and beast eggs are left.
"You say it's a thunder turtle? But thunder turtle eggs are transparent, so it's obviously not one... Anyway, no matter how you look at it, it can only be a bird's egg." Yi Xichen said with a headache, "Bird... Rainbow Crane is valuable, but crane eggs are as pure white as its feathers; General Falcon? General Falcon eggs are as black as black iron..."
"Ah!" Yi Xichen slumped on the table, "It would be great if it was a phoenix egg. Then we would be rich!"
The eldest grandson, Zijun: “Haha.”
Yi Xichen was just talking casually. His eldest grandson, Zijun, had said that a gray bird would hatch from the egg. Even if it wasn't, no one would believe that a phoenix egg could grow into something this ugly.
Yi Xichen was at a loss. After a while, he put the spirit beast egg back into his Qiankun bag and said, "Let's go to the market tomorrow and try to sell it. Let's see if anyone wants it. If not, we'll think of another way."
It was already dark, and the sky and earth outside the house were as dark as ink. The two were already exhausted, so they turned off the lights and went to bed. Staying in an inn in Xialin Town also cost spirit stones, so in order to save spirit stones, Yi Xichen only asked for a room, and after going to bed, the two of them slept with their feet touching.
The eldest grandson, Jun, couldn't sleep. He stared at the person beside him in a daze in the faint moonlight.
He had been thinking about the absurd world in his mind and the world he was in now, which were similar and which were illusory, and what was the logic behind it? Now that Yao Budu was buried in the sky fire, he suddenly had some feelings: in that illusory world, he could easily get what he wanted; he would never lose what he cherished. It was a funny but gentle world; but here, it was beautiful but cruel.
The eldest grandson, Zijun, reached out and gently touched Yi Xichen's hair. He felt a little sad and whispered, "Why am I the only one who remembers some things?"
Yi Xichen suddenly grabbed his wrist.
"Zijun," he said, "I... don't know how to put it. But you don't know how important you are to me."
"I know."
The eldest grandson, Zijun, put his hand behind Yi Xichen's head and gently pinched the back of his neck. He understood what Yi Xichen meant. Yi Xichen didn't want their relationship to change and just wanted to continue like before. If he were Yi Xichen, he probably wouldn't accept it. Then he would get along with him in the way Yi Xichen liked and was used to. In short, as long as they were together forever, even if they were just sitting under the banyan tree and smiling at each other after playing chess a thousand years later, that would be enough.
However, this time, the eldest grandson Jun did misunderstand Yi Xichen's meaning. Yi Xichen did not think too much. Now he only has the eldest grandson Jun by his side. All he wants to say is, you are really important. So important... no matter what you become, we must be together.
The next morning, the two went out to the market in Xialin Town.
