Embers of Sword

Chapter 169: Ten Years of Closure, Everything Needs to Be Rebuilt

"Long story short."

After Xie Xuanyi crushed the Soul Token, he sat in the illusion of the palace courtyard and spoke directly: "Your Majesty should know why we are meeting today."

He had no intention of chatting with Xie Zhisui.

In his previous life, he didn't have much connection with the Xie family.

Ten years after his death, what King Jiangning did... made him see clearly the character of the Xie family.

"The assassination case actually has nothing to do with the Xie family..."

Xie Zhisui sighed softly and said helplessly: "This king knows that no matter how much explanation is given, it is useless. The Sword Palace, just name a price."

Qing Falcon's assassination was ordered by the Holy Queen.

Wu Zexian suffered a great loss in the imperial city, and even after Qin Zu stepped in, the matter was still not settled.

Zhao Chunyang had the upper hand and was determined to give a "reason" in the imperial city.

And over the years, the Xie family has achieved its current status thanks to the favor of the royal family...naturally, the bitter consequences of this assassination attempt will need to be borne by the Xie family.

Xie Zhisui knew that the person sitting in front of him in today's negotiation was not Xie Zhen.

But it was Zhao Chunyang.

You have to give the other party what they want.

"it is good."

After receiving this response, Xie Xuanyi no longer hesitated. He took out a green tablet, formed it into a sword, and slowly carved it.

The sword energy fell on the green tablet.

Crowded like dragons and snakes.

King Jiangning was stunned for a moment. He never expected that the young man only wrote for half an hour. When the soul bamboo slip reached his hand, it had been completely filled up.

"this?"

Xie Zhisui only took a glance and felt a little dizzy.

There were nearly a hundred things written on it, including treasures, formations, elixirs... some of which even he had never heard of.

Xie Zhisui's face turned a little ugly.

He looked at Xie Zhen, somewhat unconvinced. Is this a list that a seventeen-year-old boy could write?

"Prepare these things within seven days and send them to the Sword Palace."

Xie Xuanyi said calmly: "I have done the math for the prince. With the financial resources of the palace, purchasing these items is just a little troublesome... It can't be said to be 'breaking bones'."

Xie Zhisui's lips trembled slightly, and he forced a smile with difficulty: "Master, do you think too highly of the palace?
"The prince is joking."

Xie Xuanyi smiled calmly: "Who in the world doesn't know that the Xie family of Jiangning is the most powerful family under the royal family of Dachu now?"

The interesting thing about the assassination is this.

The Sword Palace Master has reached a "reconciliation" with the Saint Queen... the assassin Qing Falcon has been released back to the Imperial City.

This matter was stirred up in the open by huge waves.

However, in the dark, he has been suppressed by a big shot with extraordinary means.

The Golden Ao Peak can be raised high and put down gently... the prerequisite is that the Jiangning Palace hands over an answer sheet that satisfies the head of the sect, otherwise the crime of assassination will fall on the head of the prince. If Xie Sheng is in Jiangning, the worst that can happen is that he will never admit it and stay away from the Sword Palace. But now Xie Sheng is in prison.

With Qi Lie's character.

If King Jiangning wants to default on his debt, then Jinao Peak will really not let him go.

"..."

Xie Zhisui didn't expect that this young man was much more ruthless than he imagined.

One bite and it's a big piece of meat!
Half of the Xie family's ten years of hard work has been spent on wedding clothes...

"Can you be more lenient?"

King Jiangning took a deep breath, smiled bitterly and said, "Seven days is too tight. I will prepare all these things in half a month."

"Logically speaking, seven days should be enough. Doesn't the prince still have the imperial city behind him?"

Xie Xuanyi said calmly, "However, let alone half a month, even half a year or a year... the Sword Palace doesn't care. It's just that before the things are delivered, you will have to stay in Zhenyin Peak for a while longer. I don't know if he can get used to the food in the back mountain."

The mountain behind Dasui Sword Palace is a forbidden area and also the place where criminals are imprisoned.

"???"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xie Zhisui's expression suddenly changed.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Seven days, just seven days!"

"It is said that Prince Xie loves his only son very much. The rumors are indeed true."

Xie Xuanyi stood up and chuckled.

The petals are flying.

The soul communication was interrupted.

His body turned into countless shadows and disappeared in the palace.

……

……

"How was the conversation?"

As soon as Xie Xuanyi's spiritual meeting was interrupted, Zhao Chunyang took Jiang Huang and returned.

obviously.

The headmaster has been paying attention to the situation in the courtyard.

“…I made a list.”

Xie Xuanyi re-engraved the contents of the blue tablet and presented it to Zhao Chunyang.

"You kid are more ruthless than I thought."

Zhao Chunyang glanced at it and said with a smile: "If you want to collect all the things on this list, the Xie family's prosperity in the past ten years must be discounted by at least half."

"That's still too little."

Xie Xuanyi shook his head and said calmly: "Even if you ask for more, the Xie family must give it..."

This time, Zhao Chunyang came out of seclusion and fought a tie with the ancestor of the Qin family.

This means that at the level of top-level combat power, the Sword Palace still has a unique and transcendent position.

If there was no draw, we would be at a disadvantage.

Where would the current negotiations take place?
It was precisely because Zhao Chunyang was strong enough that the Holy Queen "compromised". In this assassination attempt, the Imperial City had clashed with the Sword Palace, and it was reasonable and moral that they should "compensate".

No matter how much Xie Xuanyi wants, as long as Jiangning Xie family can afford it.

Then they must give!
"One hundred Sea Breaking Pills... One thousand Qing Yuan Pills..."

Zhao Chunyang narrowed his eyes and glanced at the list again.

The Sea-Breaking Pill is indeed good. It is used to cleanse the muscles and bones and flush the sea of ​​qi. One hundred pills are not too many. Taking all of them is enough to allow Xie Xuanyi's Golden Body Realm to reach several levels.

But Qingyuan Pills, this kind of thing, is just "chicken ribs" to Xie Xuanyi now.

There is abundant vitality in the Dasui Sword Palace. Putting aside the forbidden caves in the back mountain of Yuping Peak, the Xuanshui Cave in Lianhua Peak alone is enough for Xie Xuanyi to practice to the level of Yin God without having to worry about the vitality issue.

More than 90% of the items on this list.

These are all "little things" like this.

There are 1,200 defensive weapons ranging from the fourth to the eighth grade... Why would Xie Xuanyi need so many weapons?

What's more, Xie Xuanyi's golden body can compete with an eighth-grade treasure.

"Da Sui Sword Palace has been closed for ten years. For ten whole years, it has not interacted with the outside world."

Xie Xuanyi saw what his master wanted to say.

He smiled and said, "A few days ago, I was walking among the peaks and I could see that... the robes and treasures of my fellow apprentices were all a bit old and damaged. Although there are weaponsmiths in Xiaochong Mountain, it is the closed mountain period after all, and materials are in short supply. Some resources... cannot be produced in Dasui Sword Palace."

"you……"

Zhao Chunyang had a complicated look on his face.

“I was born and raised here.”

Xie Xuanyi shook his head and said sternly, "The assassination case is nothing to me. This time, Xuanyi asked for compensation for his master, and even more for the Sword Palace. After the destruction of Beihai Mausoleum, prosperity and luck poured into the Dachu Dynasty, and the Dasui Sword Palace was in ruins. The compensation from the Jiangning Xie family will be used to rebuild the Sword Palace."

This list includes some practice resources.

Xie Xuanyi also asked for a large sum of gold and silver.

After they are delivered, the mansions, formation patterns, and training grounds of the various peaks can all be renovated.

The mountain has been closed for ten years, and the sword cultivation is in a bleak situation. Although his fellow disciples don't say anything, Xie Xuanyi can see it.

Junior Sister Huang Su, wearing the robes from ten years ago.

Junior Brother Si Qi's Bai He has also lost a lot of weight, and his fur is not as shiny as it used to be.

The several core disciples who practiced at Lotus Peak back then were all like this... not to mention the others.

This sword energy ceremony.

The Sword Palace spent a huge amount of money and resources on purchasing it, which attracted the attention of the whole world.

But if you look through the account books, you will definitely find it.

Since the Battle of Drinking Poison, the fortune of Dasui Sword Palace has declined, and the savings within the sect have become less and less.

Until now, I am afraid that there is only a thin layer of assets left.

"Some things still have to be done by you."

Zhao Chunyang flipped through the list and became more and more satisfied. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Sure enough, the disciple is better than the master."

Xie Xuanyi smiled.

If you think about it carefully, this matter really needs to be left to yourself.

As a master, if I were to step forward in this incident...as long as I mentioned the word compensation, it would be an insult to the Sword Palace itself.

A great man should have the bearing of a great man.

But there are only a few figures at the top.

Below the summit, there are countless “climbers” hungry for food.

"After this opening, Jin'ao Peak should reopen the 'Law Enforcement Hall'."

Xie Xuanyi said softly: "Disciples of the Sword Palace should go out and travel around the world. This is both a way to practice in the world and to wield a sword to eliminate all injustice."

Once the Law Enforcement Hall opens, the predicament of the Sword Palace being closed will be greatly improved.

Take Fangyuanfang as an example.

Fangyuanfang takes on countless tasks every year, and for each task, a certain commission will be taken from the "remuneration" given by the employer.

It is said that this business first started in the Dali Dynasty, and grew and developed all the way, and coincided with the "good days" when the Taoist Sword Palace was closed. It made a lot of money in the past ten years... It can be said that it has reached its peak.

"In addition, Zhenyin Peak can also send out disciples to contact the various families in Dachu Zhongzhou through the 'Communication Order'."

Xie Xuanyi sat upright, thinking back, and said with regret: "Back then, there were several holy land families who wanted to negotiate some business with the Sword Palace... Unfortunately, after I was hunted down and the mountain was closed, these businesses must have been cold. I don't know if Fangyuanfang has snatched them away. Now is a good time to renegotiate..."

Strange to say.

I can't remember a single thing about such an important event as the murder of Emperor Chu.

But I remember those scattered trivial things clearly and can never forget them.

"..."

Zhao Chunyang sat on a wooden chair with a smile on his face. He did not interrupt, but just listened silently to the words of the young man in front of him.

People all said that this disciple was very much like him.

It's indeed very similar.

Fighting, killing, drawing swords, and even the style of doing things are all exactly the same as his own.

But there are many places where they are not similar at all.

Because Xie Xuanyi was thrown out of the Sword Palace at an early stage and left to ask for swords everywhere... this kid has a lot of martial arts atmosphere, and only a very few people who are close to him know that Xie Xuanyi is not the respected eldest brother in the traditional impression of the famous and upright sects.

This kid has never been one to follow the rules.

There are no rules in my eyes.

This is also the reason why Lawyer Zhang really hates him.

The Dasui Sword Palace had been following these rules for nearly a thousand years, but many changes took place after Xie Xuanyi appeared.

Back then, Xie Xuanyi, along with Qi Lie, opened the Dasui Sword Palace's Law Enforcement Hall in Beijun and Nanjiang... They even planned to open it in Nanjiang, where they could directly fight demons every day.

This move naturally attracted a lot of support, but even more opposition!

In addition, Xie Xuanyi took Si Qi and sent the Sword Palace White Crane to various places in Dachu to deliver letters and messages for the people for free. In addition, he also asked the Xiaochongshan weapon refiner to forge a message order overnight, and sent nearly a thousand soul message orders to various states one after another to contact Zhenyin Peak.

Over the years... Xie Xuanyi has done so many "unlawful" things that it is too numerous to count.

It’s a pity that it fell into the North Sea.

These old things were forced to be interrupted and no follow-up effects were seen.

But Zhao Chunyang already had the answer in his heart...

A new era is coming.

He wanted the Dasui Sword Palace to ride the tide of the great world and reach the pinnacle.

It would probably be difficult for "old friends" like him and his fellow lawyer to do so.

perhaps.

What the Sword Palace needs now is Xie Xuanyi.
