Embers of Sword

Chapter 677 Reincarnated Great Demon

Chapter 677 Reincarnated Great Demon
Luo Hai left, cursing under his breath.

However, before leaving, the young master of the One Blade Sect left behind a message.

Although the relationship between the Chu and Li kingdoms has not been as harmonious as before in recent years, the Yidao Sect and the Da Sui Sword Palace have never been adversaries, making this message extremely significant.

After Xie Xuanyi accepted it, he also gave her a "Lotus Token".

The reason for presenting the order was not because Luo Hai had advanced to the Yang God realm and was therefore worthy of being befriended.

Rather, it was because he genuinely wanted to be friends with this person.

As the saying goes, "No fight, no friendship."

The struggle for the Great Dao is irreconcilable... Xie Xuanyi has seen many young prodigies who, after suffering a crushing defeat, never recovered.

Luo Hai is an "alternative genius" who repeatedly fails but perseveres and still manages to achieve success in condensing the Dao.

It is likely that in the two dynasties of Chu and Li, there has only been one like him in hundreds of years.

……

After Luo Hai left, Xie Xuanyi did not return to the Sword Palace.

The sun sets, and night falls.

He stood alone in the mountains.

"Fellow Daoist, since you've come... why not show yourself?"

Xie Xuanyi suddenly spoke.

He has been feeling uneasy lately.

I thought that "opening a sermon" would cause trouble.

But after today's battle with Luo Hai, Xie Xuanyi directly rejected that thought... The young master of the One Blade Sect is an upright and straightforward person. After this fight, there will be no more controversy over his title as one of the Ten Heroes. It seems that the "unease" in his heart does not stem from this.

That being the case.

The unease that arose when facing Luo Hai could only come from others.

Xie Xuanyi had already enveloped the area within a five-mile radius with his divine sense, covering the entire mountain range...

He did not sense anyone's presence.

This time, speaking out seemed more like a tentative probe, responding to the feelings in one's heart.

To my surprise, there was actually a response.

"Susususu..."

Not far away, the leaves swayed in the breeze.

A soft, effeminate laugh rang out.

Deep in the forest, someone smiled and spoke: "As expected of the peerless genius of the Great Eagle Sword Palace, appearing only once every thousand years... Can you really 'see' me?"

"..."

Upon hearing this sound, Xie Xuanyi immediately narrowed his divine sense and locked onto the approximate location.

The divine sense shrank from a radius of five li to a radius of one hundred zhang.

But even so.

Xie Xuanyi still couldn't detect the other party's trace. This person was like a "shadow" hidden in the void, which could not be sensed by divine sense at all.

Xie Xuanyi frowned slightly.

He subconsciously thought of Lu Yuzhen, but then dismissed the guess.

After all, this guy has actually been beaten before...

The last time we met at Carp Tide River, I only mentioned my master's name, and this paper lord was so frightened that he fled in panic.

Even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to personally go to the Sword Palace's territory to provoke them.

"Looks like I'm overthinking it."

The brief silence allowed the people in the woods to guess what was going on.

The man said with a hint of sarcasm, "However... you are much stronger than that guy who's practicing with his sword."

obviously.

The person in the forest was teasing the young master of the One-Sword Sect who had just left.

From the start to the end of the fight, Luo Hai didn't notice anything unusual...

"Your Excellency is indeed incredibly powerful."

Xie Xuanyi narrowed his eyes, confirming that the other party was the source of his unease.

It is blessed by the [Primordial Devouring Holy Realm].

Xie Xuanyi's current spiritual strength is almost equivalent to that of the initial stage of Yang God.

Luo Hai, on the other hand, is a genuine Dao-Condensing Yang God.

To be able to deceive the divine senses of two Yang Gods, what kind of supernatural power or method is that? And what level of cultivation must the opponent be at?
"I wouldn't call myself incredibly powerful, I'm just a bit bolder."

The man in the forest chuckled lightly, still maintaining his nonchalant demeanor: "I heard that the Great Sui Sword Palace was holding a once-in-a-century 'Opening Ceremony of the Dao,' so I came... These three days of sermons have indeed been excellent, not in vain that I traveled all the way south, thousands of miles to get here... However, like the previous person, I feel that I haven't quite had my fill." Upon hearing this,

Xie Xuanyi's expression grew even more solemn.

Heading south?
This guy is from the North... or even further north?

"You...are a demon?"

Xie Xuanyi frowned and stared in the direction of the deep forest.

"if not?"

The man in the forest calmly replied, "Who else could come from the south to Da Chu besides a demon?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Xuanyi couldn't help but laugh.

Truly a great cultivator of the demon kingdom—

This guy really has the guts of a bear and the courage of a leopard. The Great Eagle Sword Palace not only has himself, but also the library, the law master, and his master who is in seclusion on Lotus Peak!

Even Lu Yuzhen wouldn't dare to be so reckless!

The man in the woods also laughed.

After a moment, the laughter gradually subsided.

“Logically speaking, I shouldn’t have come to the Great Sui Sword Palace. With Zhao Chunyang in charge here, it should be the most dangerous place in Great Chu. But I’m really curious. I want to see what the young people who will inherit Zhao Chunyang’s mantle will be like.”

"Before heading south, I consulted a fortune teller."

He said softly, "The divination indicates that this journey south will be fraught with danger but ultimately safe. So... I have come."

"You certainly have a lot of guts."

Xie Xuanyi said quietly, "Now... you've seen it, so it shouldn't disappoint you, right?"

Whether you're disappointed or not, you'll only know after you've faced them.

After a moment of silence in the woods, a sickly, thin figure slowly emerged.

The newcomer was a man with feminine features, quite beautiful, even handsome. His long hair was tied up, and he wore a thin black shirt that revealed his snow-white collarbone. He was as thin as a bamboo stalk, and his face was pale as if he had been suffering from a long illness. A folding fan was gently folded in front of him. Judging from his attire alone, he was quite similar to the ordinary scholars of Da Chu.

However, upon closer inspection, one will find that the temperament of this great cultivator from the demon kingdom is actually quite different from that of an ordinary scholar...

His entire body seemed to be soaked in ink.

It exudes a faint, almost deathly, feminine aura.

However, this artistic conception is different from the "filthy air" of Yanxie; it is a rather pure yin aura.

Two people dressed in black stood facing each other.

The night wind howled, and the leaves rustled in the wind.

"..."

Xie Xuanyi silently looked at the effeminate demon cultivator before him; the other's appearance was completely unexpected.

more importantly.

His divine sense landed on the demon cultivator, and the aura he sensed was that of a Yin God Realm cultivator.

This guy is just like me.

It is merely a spirit of darkness.

A powerful demon at the Yin God Realm dared to venture south alone and enter the Great Chu Dynasty...
