Chapter 128 Qi
Naturally, nothing could be found; the person Lianqiao had placed in the shop was perfectly innocent.

The Enforcement Hall could only temporarily restrict the freedom of its staff, while using them to secretly investigate nearby shops.

However, since the shop was closed the next day, the two or three scoundrels who were watching it still managed to receive the agreed-upon code.

Do not move! Prepare for evacuation.

"Sigh, it would be best if we could leave." Que Er didn't want to stay in the Taiyuan Realm forever.

Que San remained noncommittal; wherever Que Zhu was, he would be there too. "Is the robe shop still open?"

“It’s more convenient to stay in the hotel than to rent a guesthouse, and it’s less likely to arouse suspicion.”

"But we can close for half a day today. I'll treat you to a big meal. Which restaurant would you like to go to?" Ever since that commotion at the beginning of the year, Que Er hasn't dared to show his face on the street.

Now that she and Lei Dun are trapped in Shaowu Mountain, she can finally get out for a stroll.

Que San also wanted to go out and have some fun. "I'll bring some snacks from Shijinlou to eat at Baiweiju and have them send me a few jars of Xiankelou's Huangsha Mantian."

"Okay." Que Er never expected that the person who came to deliver the wine was Tang Zhui Xian, who was waiting at Xian Ke Lou with nothing better to do.

She disguised herself as a Qi Refining cultivator in the shop, and recognized him immediately. Que Er was the same person she had drawn at the beginning of the year.

How could a Core Formation cultivator who wanted to rob the beginning of the year, and who used the same teleportation jade talisman as Que, hide his cultivation in the market?

Tang Zhuixian immediately decided to follow, hoping to make another big profit at the beginning of the year.

Shen Suiren, who was struggling through the grass, suddenly sneezed without warning. Her veil slipped open, revealing a small line of blood on her forehead. "Someone must be talking about me."

"Stop the bleeding quickly," Gongsun Lexun reminded her from inside the small space.

"The sword grass has mutated and upgraded; the cuts won't stop, so we need to use this." Shen Suiren took out the ash from the cattail grass her father had given her and sprinkled it on the wound. The bleeding stopped immediately, but a gray mark on her forehead couldn't be wiped away for the time being.

Gongsun Lexun borrowed the ashes to examine them closely, while Fan Liyue, sitting next to her, asked thoughtfully, "At the beginning of the year, what was your natal magic weapon?"

"Knife."

"Are you sure? The sword in your hand is an acquired spiritual treasure."

"Confirmed." Shen Suiren liked playing with knives.

She answered firmly that she would be rewarded after leaving the sword-foot grass.

Fan Liyue handed her a dusty gray magic knife: "This is for you. I obtained it in the secret realm many years ago."

"Uncle-Master, this looks like a magic weapon-grade sword." Shen Suiren touched the blade, her eyes sparkling.

Fan Liyue personally snatched it, so of course he knew its grade: "It's dropped from high grade to low grade, you don't want it?"

"Yes, of course I want it, thank you, Uncle Master." Shen Suiren would naturally refuse such a good thing and immediately pledged his blood to her.

To be honest, she has a bunch of magic knives in her storage ring, but they're not enough to withstand her use.

Fan Liyue nodded: "I originally intended to present it at your apprenticeship banquet, but the banquet has been postponed again and again."

Le Xun also has it, but only after becoming an apprentice.

Who did Senior Sister Yue Xun study under?
"We're of the same generation, but I became a disciple first, so shouldn't it be Senior Sister?" Shen Suiren thought, "It should be Senior Uncle Qin."

Gongsun Lexun coughed lightly: "Dream on. I entered the sect earlier than you, so I should be the senior sister."

“Alright, when the Foundation Establishment stage disciples of each peak take turns to teach disciples under ten years old, you go first.” Shen Suiren did not argue.

Gongsun Lexun paused for a moment: "So you were waiting for me here!"

As she spoke, she noticed Shen Suiren frowning: "The beginning of the year? Has there been an anomaly in the surrounding landscape?"

"No, it hasn't changed much; it's the blade. It was originally a spirit treasure-level magic blade, but after being reforged by a strange fire, it can return to the spirit treasure level."

"Master, it's not too late for you to take it back now." Shen Suiren felt a little guilty; she didn't intend to let this knife take up the position of her natal magic weapon.

Fan Liyue tapped her head lightly, increased the speed of his flying sword, and arrived at the sword-shaped grass where the dragon bone was located.

"Father, Uncle Lei, why are you all outside?" Shen Suiren saw his father and the others from afar, all of them injured.

The little fox king breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her return safely. He then flashed into the space room she was hanging in: "I was exhausted just escaping from inside by grabbing the chain."

"Get some sleep." Shen Suiren didn't waste time listening to her father's explanation, nor did she ask about her uncle's injuries. Instead, she drew the Longyuan Sword and channeled her spiritual energy into it, slashing fiercely.

The half-broken chain on Shen Dingru snapped with a crack, prompting cheers from his fellow prisoners: "Great!"

"Young friend Shen, hurry, hurry, mine's mine!"

"Father, this Dragon Abyss Sword is for you. You can use it to cut down enemies for everyone." Shen Suiren was also very happy. She had just used too much spiritual energy and was a little overwhelmed.

"You silly child, quickly take the pill." Shen Dingru's attention was entirely on her, and he noticed the abnormality immediately.

Fan Liyue looked around and said, "Everyone should go into the spatial magic room to recover their spiritual power. The yin energy here is too heavy."

"We will listen to the Master. Just now, the earth shook and the yin energy spread. Fortunately, Master Lei and Little Fox King took action, and we were able to escape." Shen Dingru did not immediately take the sword. He wanted to give the Longyuan Sword to Fan Liyue to break the rope.

"Fellow Daoists, please wait a moment."

"No rush, no rush, let the young fellow Daoist recover his spiritual power first."

"I'll give it a try." Fan Liyue and the others entered the enlarged space room at the beginning of the year. With a flick of his storage ring, he pulled out a sharp axe.

As they spoke, the axe struck the chain on one of the men, and snapped with a crack.

Everyone in the space watched without blinking as Fan Liyue raised his axe and, in just a few breaths, severed all the chains binding the dozen or so cultivators.

Finally, she collected all the broken ropes, intending to take them back for research.

A dozen or so monks surrounded her, thanking her and jumping for joy; she was finally free.

Only Shen Dingru knocked on the door and came in, standing silently in front of Shen Suiren, watching her meditate and absorb the spiritual energy of the spirit stones.

"Where did Senior Sister get that axe?" Luo Ning wanted to take a closer look, but Fan Liyue outside had already put the axe away.

Lei Dun roughly knew: "It should have been borrowed from the Taiyi Sect."

“This axe feels sharper than the sword from the beginning of the year,” Juexing blurted out, as the Longyuan sword on the table clattered out of its sheath.

It flew past Juexing's head with a whoosh and struck the patch of sword grass outside the house.

"It, it, it gets jealous." The little monk touched his cool head, where a large red and swollen patch had appeared.

Nie Chengzhang put his arm around him and said, "Let me help you apply the medicine."

The little fox king, who was pretending to be asleep, cast a soundproof barrier for the little dragon king beside him and laughed at him, saying, "The immortal sword has a spirit and is indignant at your disrespect."

Luckily, it was here at the beginning of the year, otherwise it would have cracked your skull open.

“Phew, then there’s no need to cut down the sword-foot grass, it…” Juexing’s words were cut short when a large patch of grass outside fell down.

"Wow, let's go out and take a look." Luo Ning was skilled with a sword and was most interested in fine swords.

The group abandoned their healing efforts and rushed off to watch Longyuan Sword cut grass.

After a moment's thought, Shen Dingru said softly, "Little Fox King, please check on Sui Ren's condition and see if it's appropriate to wake him up."

Lei Dun looked up at him. He was used to hearing "the beginning of the year" and it felt a little strange to hear him call him "year-end".

Just then, Shen Dingru turned to look at him: "Master Lei, if the bushes are lost, the Yin energy inside will most likely leak out."

"In your opinion, will that Dragon King be able to break free?" "It's hard to say." Thunder Shield's junior sister interrupted the sword with the axe she had just used.

Fan Liyue suddenly realized that her senior brother was enjoying the show, so she said, "The axe has no power, I won't go into the bushes."

It's not worth letting the sword-wielding grass attack you for a sword that's throwing a tantrum.

"Behind the bushes, the Yin energy is so strong that you can't see anyone clearly." As soon as Lei Dun said this, an axe flew towards the Dragon Abyss Sword with a whoosh.

Although it entered the grass, it effectively attracted the attention of the sword, and the sword and axe clashed together in an instant.

Ding ding, clang clang clang
Just as he was about to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the academy, Shen Suiren opened his eyes and said, "Senior Longyuan, come back."

I found you a cultivator with a gold-elemental root; no one has recognized that axe as their natal magic weapon to this day.

call out

The Dragon Abyss Sword flew back into Shen Suiren's hand as he walked out of the house. Everyone was disappointed that they didn't get to see the spiritual treasures fight for three hundred rounds.

Sui Chu erased the contract with the Immortal Sword and presented it to Shen Dingru: "Father, this is for you."

"Such a fine sword, it's a pity to give it to me, you can use it." Shen Dingru is not a sword cultivator, he mainly tames beasts.

“I don’t have a metal spiritual root.” Shen Suiren knew that her father had a metal-water spiritual root.

Those dozen or so fellow Foundation Establishment cultivators were filled with envy:

"Fellow Daoist Shen, your daughter is truly devoted to you."

"Quickly acknowledge it as your master! It's so convenient for us cultivators to use swords."

"Lingbao, it's a rare opportunity to grow together with you."

The Dragon Abyss Sword hummed, and it was quite satisfied with the cultivator in front of it, because among all the people in the group, his golden spiritual root was the best.

Moreover, it sensed that this person was about to advance to the next level, and that being with someone who had reached the Core Formation stage was much easier than being with someone who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

Therefore, the Dragon Abyss Sword deliberately pierced Shen Dingru's fingertips and fiercely absorbed his blood.

And when he formed the divine consciousness recognition contract, she cooperated by getting close.

However, unexpected events occurred. A furious dragon roar resounded, and several chains flew out and wrapped around Shen Suiren and his daughter.

The Legend of Sword and Fairy: Dragon Abyss was flung away.

And just as Fan Liyue leaped to strike with his axe, he decisively abandoned a piece of his body in order to capture the man.

However, the Little Fox King and Thunder Shield flew out at the same time, their spiritual power binding the chain and preventing it from retreating. The others used spells to block the chain, but they were almost entangled by it as well.

"You all step back." Lei Dun was afraid that everyone would be entangled by the rope.

Meanwhile, Shen Dingru grabbed the spiritual net that Juexing had thrown at him, trying his best to stop his body from retreating.

He was soon met with an axe blow from Fan Liyue. The chain behind him was slashed off with a clang. He grabbed the broken chain that had fallen to the ground and twisted it around the chain that was pulling Sui Chu from behind, holding on for his life.

"Dragon Abyss Sword, slash!" Shen Suiren was not idle; she used one hand to catch the ropes or vines thrown at her by the others.

With his other hand, he took out the precious sword given to him by his senior brother, and with a series of slashes, the rope immediately split open.

Fortunately, Fan Liyue and the Longyuan Sword were powerful; the second axe slashed down swiftly with the sword, severing the rope and sending the man flying.

Shen Suiren summoned bird feathers, firmly planted them, grabbed the flying dragon abyss, and chased after the chain that was still flapping its claws and trying to reach the others.

She continued striking several times until her spiritual energy was exhausted again, and the rope had been cut in many places by the axe and sword, before she finally stopped moving.

"Black Dragon King, we stayed nearby to help you escape your predicament, yet you repay kindness with enmity."

You betrayed me before, and I helped you break the formation, but you were trying to possess my father.

"There is no need for us to cooperate anymore." I haven't even sought revenge on you yet, and you've already struck first.

"Don't try to pin this on me. If I don't make a move, you'll probably all abandon me and run away immediately." Inside the dragon bones, the Dragon King was particularly angry.

When the earthquake started, he called out to Shen Dingru several times, but the other man was only concerned with picking the spiritual herbs and running away, and did not take him with him at all.

He completely forgot that not long ago he had wanted to possess someone else's body; only a fool would take him along.

"Fine, if you don't believe me, then so be it. Uncle-Master, Father, let's retreat." Shen Suiren lowered the bird feather and jumped onto Uncle-Master Lei's sword with his teammates, quickly replenishing their spirit with top-grade spirit stones.

In the past day or two, she had repeatedly exhausted her dantian, but unexpectedly her meridians were widened and she was able to absorb spiritual energy faster.

On the other side, Fan Liyue also put away his spatial room and released his sword, carrying his fellow Foundation Establishment cultivators into the air. "Don't argue with him any further."

"Halt! Do I grant you permission to leave?" The Dragon King once again activated the chain, but unfortunately, he had already exhausted too much power and could no longer use the chain to entangle people.

Upon seeing this, Shen Suiren couldn't help but laugh and said, "Just a remnant soul of a human who slaughtered a city, do you think you're a dragon?"

"That was the Sparrow Queen framing me! That foolish Dragon Court even helped her capture me." Seeing the two flying swords fly away, the Dragon King quickly changed his strategy, "Wait a moment."

"The Taiyuan Realm's energy has been sealed by magic cast by the human and demon races. Unless this seal is broken, you'll never even be able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage."

"What do you mean?" Fan Liyue and Lei Dun stopped at the same time, and everyone looked towards the direction of the dragon bone.

"Hehe, I don't like looking up at people." The Dragon King became reserved, ready to bargain.

Meanwhile, Shen Suiren transmitted her voice to her father: "Father, if you don't go into the spatial magic room for now, I suspect that this Dragon King only has his eye on your physical body among you."

"Alright." Shen Dingru nodded in agreement, not wanting to cause her any trouble.

At the same time, he transmitted his voice and said, "Among our group, several fellow Daoists are seriously injured. Can they come in together?"

"I'd like to borrow the Little Fox King's magic room for a while." A small space room would definitely be crowded if it held a hundred people, but it would still be quite spacious if it held a dozen or so.

She didn't want everyone to keep coming in and out, disturbing the Little Dragon King's rest.

Shen Dingru disagreed: "No, if you take one more, you'll have three execution chambers. That's too conspicuous."

"Only one of them is mine, Dad. I dare to put it up so that others won't see it."

Moreover, these were all forged by the most powerful weapon-making peaks throughout history. They would self-destruct if stolen, so it would be useless for others to covet them. As he spoke, Shen Suiren lent out the Little Fox King's magic room.

She tossed it to Senior Sister Gongsun behind Uncle Fan, and in the blink of an eye, she sent the fifteen cultivators into the space room to rest.

Shen Dingru then went inside to keep the dragon and fox company.

Upon seeing this, the Dragon King immediately stopped his charade with the two Core Formation cultivators and said, "I request to borrow Shen Dingru's body so I can take you to examine the magic array that those people have set up."

Shen Suiren resolutely refused: "Impossible, Father, don't worry about it. The Taiyuan Realm has already destroyed the defiled teleportation tower."

"Dragon King, tens of thousands of years have passed, and we have found another portal to another realm, allowing us to enter other realms at any time."

The Dragon King scoffed: "You think destroying a boundary tower will break those people's plans? How naive."

"Back then, they occupied many secret realms in the Taiyuan Realm. Two or three thousand years ago, they discovered that some of these secret realms were gradually returning to the Taiyuan Realm, so they sent people into the Taiyuan Realm to find out why."

"It was later discovered that during the same period, a surge of Nascent Soul cultivators emerged in your realm, triggering the recovery of the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and causing the Transmission Tower to sprout."

"Then, they joined forces to seal your evolving teleportation tower and also sealed the dragon veins within the realm to steal your vital energy."

"From now on, will it be difficult for anyone in your Taiyuan Realm to achieve the Nascent Soul stage?"

"Were all the Nascent Soul cultivators who entered that realm harmed by those people?" Fan Liyue immediately asked, voicing her innermost suspicions.

The Dragon King laughed heartily and said, "What do you think? They've gone to such lengths to seize resources, how can they expect your people to advance smoothly?"
