I come to see Bai Yujing today

Chapter 197: Who owns the Dao Fruit?

The morning sun on the horizon burst out with slender golden rays of light, gently passing through the clouds and mist, and falling on many mountaintops.

The sea of clouds in the distance was dyed golden.

The terrifying power in the Chiye long sword gradually weakened and then completely dissipated.

Chen Zhian was still a little dazed. He looked up and saw that many of the surrounding hills were in ruins.

Rocks collapsed, forests were flattened, and the sword energy in the sky intertwined with the sea of clouds and had not yet completely dissipated.

Countless powerful men who came to hunt him down have already died. Some of the twenty or thirty Yuque figures had their heads chopped off by him, and some had their souls shattered by him.

Their bodies fell in the forests between the mountains. Even the bodies of some strong men had been swept up by the sword intent and completely turned into a ball of blood mist, which was blown away by the surrounding wind and waves.

"Cicada Demon..." There was still a hint of heroism in Chen Zhian's eyes.

The Yuque monks whom he could only look up to in the past, were now being killed in such large numbers by him, holding the cicada demons in his hands, as if he were chopping vegetables and melons.

"What on earth is this cicada demon?" Chen Zhian was still thinking.

But in the next moment, a sword energy suddenly spread out from a very far distance, followed by an incredibly loud sound, just like the whistling of sword energy, rolling up the sea of clouds!
"Chen Shuijun! You are hiding your abilities!"

Xie Wujiu's voice was like a thunder, exploding in the sky, and the sword energy followed, rumbling like thunder, grand to the extreme.

here and now...

The figure on the Whale Riding Monument of Xie Jia Tianque finally couldn't hold back anymore and questioned Chen Shuijun with his sword spirit.

The mighty sword energy, like an endless stream of clouds, crossed many distances and landed on the top of the mountain.

Chen Zhian suddenly woke up and turned to look into the distance.

But on a very far mountain top, Xie Wuju was wearing a long sword on his waist, looking at the mountain from afar.

His inquiring eyes fell on Chen Zhian and Chen Shuijun.

A sky palace was looming behind him, grand to the extreme. All kinds of magical powers lingered around his body. A sword-wielding god had a majestic light in his eyes and looked directly at Chen Shuijun.

The might of heaven seemed to be embodied in his eyes.

The divine light in his eyes shone down, even melting the snow that never melted under Chen Shuijun's feet all year round, turning into gurgling water.

"This Xie Wujiu... turns out to be so powerful."

Chen Zhian only felt an unimaginable pressure on his body, which made his Yuanguan become sluggish and the spiritual energy in his innate fetal palace dim.

Li Yinxi looked at him from afar and waved at him gently.

Chen Shuijun suddenly pulled out the [Zhu Xia] from his waist and threw it lightly.

In an instant, Zhu Xia turned into a stream of light and flew to Chen Zhian's side.

Before Chen Zhian could react, Zhu Xia released a gentle sword energy that enveloped Chen Zhian's body.

In a moment, Chen Zhian seemed to be captured by some powerful magical power, and his body was suppressed by the powerful force, making him unable to resist at all.

Zhu Xia soared into the sky, and he also flew straight along with the sword ranked nineteenth in the world.

Zhu Xia was running at his fastest speed, the surging sword energy cut through the clouds in the surrounding void, as well as the waves that blocked his way.

Chen Zhian was carried hundreds of miles away by the long sword until he was suspended over Tianjing.

"Father, mother..."

Chen Zhian had not yet forgotten Xie Wujiu's powerful and unreasonable strength, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

but……

"If I stay with my parents, I will be a burden to them."

Chen Zhian was fully aware of this, but he still felt worried.

The red sword at his waist was still emitting a fiery sword intent. To others, the sword energy that was emitted was enough to prove that Chen Zhian had a high level of cultivation and extraordinary combat power.

However, even though he could look down upon his peers, facing a Tianque figure like Xie Wujiu, he had no power to fight even with the help of Chen Shuijun's Cicada Demon.

“My father asked me to send them off, and he also lent me the Cicada Demon to help me kill many enemies as a parting gift.

But what can I give them?"

Chen Zhian felt the light of Zhu Xia Chisheng's sword, and the endless miraculous power in it, and his eyes gradually became solemn.

He took a deep breath and raised his hand, and Ye Yuezhou appeared under his feet.

Zhu Xia had a spirit and made a few clear chirping sounds, as if saying goodbye to Chen Zhian, and then turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky.

Chen Zhian stood on the clouds, looking far away in the direction where Zhu Xia disappeared.

After a long time, he finally descended from the clouds.

He walked into the East Courtyard, where many people had already arrived.

Yun Ting, Yu Li Ke, Zheng Xuan Ze, Lu Zhu Jun, Bai Jian and others have already equipped their weapons and are about to go out.

Jiang Taiping and Shen Haohao were also in the East Courtyard, both with anxious looks in their eyes.

The whole Xuantianjing knew that the Chen father and son first went to the Li Mansion to knock on the door, and then took away Miss Li Yinxi.

Since the turmoil in Xuantianjing, Yun Ting and others naturally knew that Chen Zhian had many enemies in Xuantianjing. Now that he had left Xuantianjing, someone would definitely try to rob and kill him.

Shen Haohao and Jiang Taiping also heard the news and came to the courtyard to wait for Chen Zhian.

Yun Ting and a few others, including Jiang Taiping, had already planned to leave the city to look for Chen Zhian.

It would be fine if he left with Chen Shuijun and Li Yinxi, but if he wanted to return to Xuan Tianjing, these people would be the right people to pick him up.

However, they never expected that just as they were about to leave, Chen Zhian had already returned.

When Shen Haohao saw Chen Zhian stepping into the yard, the tension in her eyes finally dissipated a lot.

Yun Ting smelled the blood on Chen Zhian's body, and confirmed that Chen Zhian was not injured, so he felt relieved.

"It turns out that Uncle Chen is actually a hidden master."

The worries dissipated, Chen Zhian returned safely, and Lu Zhujun became much more relaxed, and said with emotion: "He prepared meals for us every day, and he was usually silent, so I just thought he was a poor scholar.

But I didn't expect that he would kill five Yuque disciples and forty armored guards in the Shangshu Mansion with one sword. "

Chen Zhian just nodded slightly.

Everyone in the courtyard noticed that Chen Zhian was still worried, and they remembered that the one who was going to marry Miss Li was General Si Yuanyan of the Si family, a man who was about to step into good fortune.

So several people couldn't help but worry.

Yu Li Ke, who almost never spoke, suddenly spoke, and his hoarse voice sounded a little unpleasant.

"Where is Uncle Chen now? I'll go and help him." Yu Li Ke gently stroked the long sword at his waist.

He has already fully entered the Tianguan realm. With his cultivation level and the long sword, he should be able to fight against ordinary Tianmen monks.

Chen Zhian shook his head slightly.

This matter has far exceeded the capabilities of the people in the hospital, including himself.

People like myself or Yu Li Ke, even if they go more, it will probably be of no avail.

The gap in cultivation cannot be bridged in a short period of time.

At this moment, Chen Zhian suddenly sensed something.

His expression changed slightly, and his spiritual energy fell into the Shanting Jade. He then sensed that a piece of emerald green leaf in the Shanting Jade was emitting a faint light.

The light flowed, and a breath drifted out from it, even drifting out from the mountain pavilion jade and drifting away into the distance.

"This leaf..."

Chen Zhian raised his eyebrows, feeling a little surprised.

This piece of emerald green leaf was picked from Hongdouyuan when he reunited with his parents during the Mid-Autumn Festival. It was also the ownerless leaf found in Guanghan Tower. However, this piece of emerald green leaf was quite mysterious. Chen Zhian studied it several times, but he still couldn't find out what the function of this leaf was, so he kept it in Shanting Jade.

Until today, the leaf finally seemed to react.

"Where does the scent from this leaf drift to?"

Chen Zhian's mind flashed, he stood up, and a divine aura flowed out, following the breath and drifting away.

The scent was faint and drifted towards Longmen Street in East City and into Hongdou Courtyard.

Chen Zhi'an saw Hongdouyuan from afar with a clear mind. Without hesitation, he said something to a few people in the courtyard and went to Longmen Street.

Yun Ting, Yu Li Ke, Bai Jian and others were still worried and wanted to follow Chen Zhian, but were rejected by Chen Zhian.

Seeing Chen Zhian leaving in a hurry, Jiang Taiping comforted them, "The Inspectorate has received orders not to bother with Chen Zhian's knife-wielding attempt to stop the Imperial Guards. If Chen Zhian doesn't leave the city, it shouldn't be a big deal.

Besides, the person wanted by the imperial court right now is only Uncle Chen."

When Shen Haohao heard Jiang Taiping's words, there was finally some relief in his eyes.

And Chen Zhian went all the way to Longmen Street.

The area in front of the Li Mansion was desolate. The ceremonial gate and fountain that were cut off by Chen Zhian's sword were emitting dust, which clung to the big red lanterns that had not been taken down in time, looking a little funny.

Imperial physicians, alchemists, and even traveling doctors came and went in an endless stream in the sect.

The reason is not difficult to guess.

Li Zhuqiu has fallen ill. Judging from his terminal condition, he probably won't live long.

After Li Zhuqiu's death, the high position of Minister of Revenue was lost. The Yunzhou Li family, which had a weak foundation to begin with, would not be able to hold on for long relying only on General Xuan Zi of the Songhuai Army.

If they continue to decline for a few more years, Uncle Li will not be able to refine the dragon vein opportunity, and his cultivation will not be able to enter the Heavenly Palace or Heavenly Palace. The Yunzhou Li family will surely decline further.

At this time, Chen Zhian was no longer willing to pay attention to the Li Mansion, which was bound to decline. He went to the side wall of the Li Mansion, climbed over it, and entered Hongdouyuan.

It's ridiculous that Chen Shuijun, who was the Minister of Revenue but was looked down upon by Li Zhuqiu, killed many retainers with one sword and even injured forty armored soldiers.

Li Bodu was rushing over.

Now, the huge Shangshu Mansion did not have a single outstanding master. In addition, Chen Zhian practiced the Changri Anyin Sutra, restrained his breath and true energy, and quietly entered the backyard of Li Mansion and entered the Hongdou Courtyard.

The red beans in the red bean yard are in full bloom and have already borne fruit.

Red beans are fragrant and beautiful.

Chen Zhian sensed the aura emanating from the mysterious leaf, his eyes passed over the red beans and finally fell on a pear tree.

This pear tree was recently planted by Li Yinxi. It is slender and tough, stretching out in all directions like a carefully painted painting. It is not thick, but reveals a stubborn vitality.

“This tree seems a little different.”

Different from the other trees in Hongdouyuan that were dyed yellow by the autumn wind.

The leaves of this pear tree still stubbornly retain a hint of green.

This kind of green does not look like the green of midsummer, but rather like the green of early spring, just dyed green by the spring breeze.

It’s like... the pear blossoms on this tree are about to bloom.

A ray of Chen Zhian's spiritual energy fell into it, and then fell into the green leaf.

His eyes suddenly moved and he took a deep breath.

Chen Zhian flicked his sleeves lightly, and the door of Hongdouyuan, which was originally open, was closed.

He sat cross-legged and quietly beside the pear tree.

-

On the top of the mountain, the sword energy was still rising in the surrounding void, but this sword energy eventually wandered among the mountains and never fell.

Chen Shuijun and Li Yinxi sat cross-legged on the clouds.

Xie Wujiu's eyes were not on them at this time, but were looking into the distance.

There……

Si Yuanyan stood tall, holding a spear in his hand, his armor shining with light. His aura was so strong that it was like a huge sun that made it impossible to look directly at him.

His eyes were calm and he said nothing as he looked at Xie Wujiu from afar. However, he was like a fallen god standing in the world, showing incredible spirit.

This spirit seemed to have transcended the realm of heaven, like an insurmountable mountain.

Xie Wujiu held the long sword at his waist. On the sword, the thirty-six sword energies that he had painstakingly cultivated by using thirty-six sword seeds were swirling continuously.

The sword energy was so mysterious that it seemed to be able to cut down the thirty-six surrounding mountains.

But even so.

Xie Wujiu and Si Yuanyan continued to confront each other from a distance without taking any action.

"If I still have my Beilu sword, I won't have to worry about his Qingtian spear. Add to that the thirty-six sword energies..."

Xie Wujiu remained calm. In the distant sea of clouds, Jiaoxiong Gongzheng disappeared and continued to swim.

The two faced each other for a long time, until the morning sun turned into evening sun.

Xie Wujiu finally opened his eyes. The thirty-six sword energies from the long sword at his waist became sharper and almost perfect.

So he exhaled deeply, his breath swirling like clouds, and his eyes became resolute.

"Si Yuanyan, you should know that this Dao Fruit is not something you can get your hands on. The reason why the head of the Xie family did not take action is that he did not want to alarm Xuan Tianjing."

Xie Wujiu's eyes were burning: "The last time I saw you in the restaurant, the promise I made still stands.

The Dao Fruit is a great opportunity, and the Si family is not worthy of this chance. If you can give up this Dao Fruit, my Xie family will do our best to ensure that you enter the realm of good fortune.

With your talent, your chance, and the background of my Xie family, why do you need a Dao Fruit?"

Si Yuanyan remained silent, and there was no emotion in his eyes.

A few breaths of time passed.

Xie Wujiu snorted coldly, glanced at Chen Shuijun, and suddenly laughed: "This Chen Shuijun caught the cicada and came to Xuantianjing, trying to hide his incompetence and take advantage of the fight between you and me to reap the benefits.

It’s a pity that Si Yuanyan and I are not the only ones in this world.”

He flicked his fingers...

The sea of clouds in the distance is rolling, and the waves are like raging waves, layer upon layer, like huge silver waves rushing across the sky.

The sea of clouds was churning violently, and a shadow emerged from it like a dragon or snake. It turned out to be a dragon.

The scales all over the dragon's body flickered with a mysterious cold light, and in the twilight, they reflected a breathtaking glow. The dragon's whiskers danced in the wind, and each one seemed to contain endless power, able to stir up the wind and clouds.

The dragon broke out of the clouds, its eyes as fiery as it looked at Chen Shuijun.

The powerful aura pressed down on Chen Shuijun, as if it was going to collapse the entire mountain.

Chen Shuijun's expression remained unchanged. He finally raised his head to look at the dragon and also at Xie Wujiu.

The dragon exhaled dragon breath, dispelling the clouds, and looked down at Chen Shuijun.

Xie Wujiu seemed to be relieved finally and turned to look at Si Yuanzhe.

Si Yuanyan’s aura was deep, like a vast abyss.

"You and I must decide the winner, so let this dragon under my command keep an eye on them.

Wait until we decide the winner, and then we'll decide who gets the Dao Fruit."

ps; there will be more later.
