Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 347: Dali Heartland
At Yazhou Wharf, people are constantly coming and going.

The dock was crowded with people and the sound of shouting was heard constantly. Warships were docked at the dock ready to go to sea.

When demons wreaked havoc in the West Sea, ships sailing out of Yazhou were temporarily suspended. Only monks from inland could go out to slay the demons, but the price they paid was extremely high.

Fortunately, the threat of monsters was quelled later, and the ships of Yazhou resumed sailing. Moreover, the disaster in the West Sea has been resolved. After the monster hunting operation with the strength of the West Sea, the monsters have become fewer and fewer and are no longer a threat. Therefore, sea transportation has become more and more developed.

"Have you heard that there is a grand event being held on Xihuang Island in the West Sea recently? Gu Jinghong, the tenth-ranked swordsman in the world, will go to Xihuang Island to ask for swords. This matter has caused a lot of excitement in the West Sea. I wonder if it has ended now."

"Who is the master of Xihuang Island that he could allow Gu Jinghong to go there to ask for the sword?"

"There are many talented hermits in the West Sea. The owner of Xihuang Island is a great swordsman who has been practicing in seclusion in the West Sea. He once fought against Jiuying head-on and escaped unscathed. His fighting ability is extremely strong."

"If we are talking about swordplay, it has to be the best swordsman in the world. To kill nine infants with one sword, what a spirit."

"So what if the Xuanyuan Sword came out of the mountain? Don't forget who asked for the Xuanyuan Sword to come out of the mountain."

"Everyone knows Li Fan from Lishan. Although Li Fan is a child of destiny, he is still young after all. From what you said, Xuanyuan Sword is not bad, right?"

"Don't you know why Li Fan from Lishan was able to ask the Xuanyuan Sword to come out of the mountain?" The man looked fascinated.

"Of course I know." The person next to him also understood what he meant. With respect in his eyes, he said, "Li Shan, the Boundless Sword Saint."

What happened in Chixiao City was linked to what happened in the West Sea and the news had spread.

Nowadays, almost everyone who practices cultivation in the Dali Dynasty knows about the battle that took place in Chixiao City.

"what is that?"

At this time, someone looked up towards the sea and saw a beam of light appear in the sky, heading towards the dock.

"It's a cultivator." Many people looked over there. As the other party got closer, they could see clearly that it was a flying boat with many figures standing on it.

"The cultivators from the West Sea dared to cross the West Sea. Their cultivation must be strong, at least at the Condensation Pill level or above."

"Clothed in white as snow, handsome and incomparable, could it be..."

Someone saw clearly the leading monk and an idea came to his mind. Then he looked around him and saw that there were indeed several beauties, especially the woman standing shoulder to shoulder with him, who was extremely stunning.

In the dark, some monks' pupils shrank and they said, "Quickly report to the governor that Li Fan has returned from the mountain."

"Sir, do you want to intercept him?" someone said. Li Fan is now a wanted criminal by the court. The last time, King Qi Xian went to the West Sea in person but returned empty-handed.

"Follow me first."

Many pairs of eyes were staring at Li Fan.

The flying boat was flying in the sky at a very fast speed. At this time, Li Fan frowned, looked down at the sky below, and swept his spiritual sense over it.

"Li Fan."

At this moment, several figures rose into the sky, as fast as lightning. They were all cultivators in the Nascent Soul Realm.

Li Fan glanced at them, making them feel uneasy. He transmitted a message, "I have sent someone to inform the prefect. This boy is very powerful. Don't confront him head-on. Just hold him off for a while."

"Yes." Everyone in the group had a clear mind.

"roll!"

Li Fan lowered his head and glanced at them, his eyes showing indifference. As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to pounce on the other party with a fierce determination.

"Li Fan, our prefect invites you." One person spoke, with aura surging through his body, ready to fight at any time.

How could Li Fan not understand what was in their minds? As soon as he thought about it, he saw sword energy whistling, and flying swords connected into one in the sky. Then, with a sharp sword whistling sound, they shot towards those figures.

"Bastard!" Those people cursed in their hearts, some released their Dharma images, and some used their magic weapons.

However, they saw endless flying swords, which turned into a long river of sword energy, submerging the sky. The monks who tried to intercept them were all submerged by the sword energy, and then their bodies were torn into pieces, turning into blood rain and falling down.

The monks who were about to ascend into the air were terrified and dared not show their heads.

What a cruel guy.

Li Fan continued to move forward, ignoring these people.

In the prefectural government, figures broke through the air.

"Sir Prefect, Li Fan has entered the country." Someone rushed to the prefect's mansion and said loudly. The prefect's mansion was immediately shaken. Wen Renqiu appeared and stepped into the air. Now he has entered the Nascent Soul stage.

Soon, figures began to fly in the air one after another, but at this moment, a cold shout was heard: "Everyone retreat."

Everyone was stunned. It was Wen Renzhong's voice. "Yes, sir," someone replied. Figures quietly withdrew and disappeared into the prefectural government.

Wenren Qiu arrived at a courtyard and saw Wenren Zhong and called out, "Father."

"Mr. Magistrate." Other people also rushed here.

"Send a letter to the court immediately and tell them that Li Fan has returned to the inland." Wen Renzhong said.

"Yes, sir." The man bowed and left. Wen Renzhong looked at Wen Renqiu and said, "The Immortal King Qi went there in person but failed to capture the man. We are the governor of Yazhou, and the temple is small. We cannot get involved in the matter of Lishan."

"I understand, father." Wen Ren Qiu responded in a low voice, then raised his head and looked in the distance, vaguely able to sense the fluctuations of sword energy.

The young man who had traveled to the West Sea with him on the same ship caused a severe storm in the West Sea, and then passed through Yazhou openly, and no one dared to stop him.

"Father, I have one more thing I want to ask you." Wen Renqiu said.

"You say." Wen Renzhong responded.

"The demon rebellion in the West Sea was caused by the imperial court..." Wen Renqiu hesitated. Wen Renzhong glanced at him and said, "Don't mention this matter again. Your Majesty is a man of great talent and strategy. He wants to wipe out all the demons in the world and bring peace and prosperity to the country."

Wen Renqiu looked at his father, then said without further ado, "Father, I also want to go out and explore the world, and head to the inland central state capital."

Yazhou City borders the West Sea and is a marginal state capital of Dali. After experiencing the turmoil in the West Sea, Wen Renqiu began to think about going out and exploring the world.

"Okay, I'll arrange someone to accompany you." Wenren Zhong said.

"I want to travel alone." Wen Renqiu replied.

"No." Wen Renzhong flatly refused: "This world is far from being as peaceful as it seems."

In Yazhou, he can ensure Wenren Qiu's safety, but once he leaves Yazhou, he will no longer be able to control the situation.

Especially in some central prefectures within the territory of Dali, no matter whether they are human cultivators or demons... let alone Wen Renqiu, even if he goes there, he has to be careful.

Although most people in this world are mediocre, there are still many people who stand on high ground and hunt.

Li Fan continued on his journey in a flying boat, ignoring the people from Yazhou Prefecture. The imperial court must have now regarded him as a thorn in their side, but with the intimidation of the Xuanyuan Sword, the imperial court would not dare to touch him easily.

As for the prefect Wen Renzhong, if he had been smarter, he would not have disturbed me while I was leaving.

"No one is chasing us." Meng Hong said, "It seems that Lord Wenren is also a wise man."

"It's those ignorant people who want to harm their prefect." Luo Qingyan said with a smile.

"Where are we going now?" she asked. Now that she had come to the inland, she also wanted to make some good fortune.

The territory of the Great Li Kingdom is endless, even more vast than the West Sea. What's more terrifying is that the West Sea is all sea, but the vast inland is filled with humans and cities.

Li Fan closed his eyes and entered the sea of ​​consciousness.

"Junior Brother." Li Fan contacted Wen Ruyu.

"Xiao Fan." Wen Ruyu's voice came.

"How's the situation with the old blind man?" Li Fan asked.

"He is still in seclusion, so there should be no problem for him to recover. But don't let this matter spread out. Even on this side of the mountain, no one will know about it. He probably won't show up for a long time." Wen Ruyu said.

Li Fan naturally understood the seriousness of the matter. The old blind man had the potential to become a sword saint in the past. If he could use the Soul-Restoring Tree to repair his damaged soul, then his potential would still be there and there would still be hope for him to move forward.

He is still young, so the court does not need to be too anxious about him.

But the old blind man was already a great swordsman at the peak of the seventh realm. If the imperial court knew that he had recovered, I'm afraid...

"Junior Brother, should I go back to Lishan to take a look?" Li Fan continued, it has been a few years since he came out.

"No, there is nothing to do outside the mountain." Wen Ruyu responded, "Go to Qinghe County. There are things waiting for you to do there."

"Qinghe County?"

"Yes." Wen Ruyu replied: "Qinghe County is already the heartland of the Dali Dynasty. Be careful when you get there."

"Okay." Li Fan responded, then opened his eyes, took out the map that Senior Brother Ji Hua had given him, and found the location of Qinghe County.

Just as Junior Brother said, judging from the map, Qinghe County is already the heartland of the Dali Dynasty.

Li Fan raised his head and gazed into the distance, Qinghe County. After entering the Ningdan stage, he returned to the inland, wondering what was waiting for him ahead.
