Chapter Seventy-Five: No Regrets
Deep in the palace.
The moonlight fell in front of one of the few intact palaces.
String Moon fell to one knee on the ground, letting the snow fall on her sideburns.
She took a deep breath, a determined look in her eyes, and raised her head to look at the white sword worship not far in front of her.
"Lord White Sword, I don't understand, even if he is a white-clothed Sword Saint, I Kunlun may not be afraid of him, why pay such a big price?"
Xianyue gritted her teeth and asked the doubts that she had endured for a long time in her heart.
The Kunlun Dao Sect has made countless enemies in Yunzhou, and one or two of them are not weaker than the Holy Dao Realm, but they have never bowed their heads, what is it for this time?
Bai Jian's eyes drooped, his forehead frowned slightly, and said, "If he is just an ordinary sword saint, I Kunlun naturally don't need to pay attention to it, but do you know that he is still the first person in Yunzhou Sword Dao?"
"The first person in kendo!"
Xianyue was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes showed doubts: "Shouldn't the first person in Yunzhou Sword Dao be my Kunlun Dao Sect's Supreme Elder Liu Taiyi?"
"That's just a rumor from the outside world, anyway, the strongest person in Yunzhou Sword Dao is him!"
The white sword stared, and the depths of his clear eyes revealed a touch of remembrance. He remembered that when he first entered the realm of the Sword Saint, he secretly sneaked into Kunlun Mountain to prepare to compete with Liu Tai, the first sword saint in Yunzhou, but after he went up the mountain that day, he saw a scene that he would never forget.
Liu Taiyi, the first sword in Yunzhou, was unexpectedly defeated by a cultivator of his age.
Although it had been many years, at that time he still recognized at a glance that person was the white-clothed sword saint of the Ten Thousand Demons in the Yangchun River, and he was deeply shocked by his sword intent on one side, it was the strongest sword he had ever seen in his life, so powerful that he couldn't get out of the influence of that sword intent after decades of cultivation.
Later, during the hundreds of years of his cultivation, he heard a lot of things about this white-clothed sword saint, and only then did he know that his name was Zhou Tieyi and he was born in the Beihai Sword Pavilion.
He was able to recognize Zhou Tieyi at a glance tonight, naturally not because of his appearance, but because of the sword intent that was so familiar that he couldn't be more familiar with it, almost affecting his sword path to the sword intent that was destroyed.
"How is it possible, if he is stronger than Elder Liu, then how can I not have heard of his name, except for the matter of ten thousand demons in the town of Yangchun River, there are almost few records about him. String Moon bit her lip.
Bai Jian's eyes glanced at him and said, "I don't know what to fear, the white-clothed sword saint is just the name of his experience when he was young, and his real name is Zhou Tieyi!"
Bai Jian's tone was a little cold, it would really be unpleasant to talk to an ignorant person like Xianyue.
"Zhou Tieyi!"
Xianyue's body trembled, a look of horror appeared in her eyes, remembering a long record, she took a deep breath and said, "Zhou Tieyi of Beihai Sword Pavilion!"
Beihai Sword Pavilion!
This sect that has left a strong mark in the history of Yunzhou monasticism, hasn't it been closed for more than a hundred years?
Above Yunzhou, it can even be said that it is above Kyushu, and almost everyone knows the Beihai Sword Pavilion.
Because a long time ago, there was no Kunlun Daomen in Yunzhou, only Beihai Sword Pavilion, and thousands of years ago, a civil strife in Beihai Sword Pavilion led to splitting, so there was Kunlun Daomen and later Beihai Sword Pavilion.
The sword path of the Beihai Sword Pavilion and the Kunlun Dao Gate can be said to be in the same line, but they have their own merits, the two sects have fought for thousands of years, until more than a hundred years ago, Kyushu changed, Yunzhou crisis, Beihai Sword Pavilion stood up and resisted that disaster, bringing nearly a hundred years of peace to Yunzhou.
After that time, the Beihai Sword Pavilion suffered heavy losses, and directly announced the closure of the door, and the forces of all parties in Yunzhou, including the demon clan, made a covenant in order to repay the kindness of the Beihai Sword Pavilion, and within three hundred years, the ban of the Beihai Sword Pavilion was not solved for a day, and the cultivators of Yunzhou were not allowed to attack it for a day, so that they could recuperate.
In the history of Yunzhou, it is called the Beihai Covenant, and the criterion for judging whether the ban of the Beihai Sword Pavilion has been lifted is whether the cultivators who have cultivated under the One Realm and above are doing something to other cultivators in Yunzhou.
Then tonight, Zhou Tieyi made a move on the Spring and Autumn Palace, wouldn't it mean that the Beihai Covenant was invalid.
The Beihai Sword Pavilion is about to be born!
Xianyue's eyes were distracted, and her mind was messed up, she didn't expect that a small Spring and Autumn Banquet in the Jin Kingdom would make the Beihai Sword Pavilion be born ahead of schedule.
However, according to the predictions of the various sects in Yunzhou, the Beihai Sword Pavilion will have to recuperate for at least two hundred years before it can recover the vitality consumed in the past, for the sake of a Chen Chang'an, Zhou Tieyi actually wants to let the Beihai Sword Pavilion that has not yet recovered its vitality be born, which is crazy to think about!
"What do you think of fifty million spirit crystals now?" Bai Jian's gaze withdrew from Xianyue's body, and said lightly.
Xianyue's eyes came back to her senses, and she took a breath and said, "Not much!"
Let the sect develop and grow steadily for ten or two hundred years, and this kind of opportunity cannot be exchanged for hundreds of millions of spirit crystals.
"The Beihai Sword Pavilion was born, the situation in Yunzhou will inevitably change again, the head of the sect should have some arrangements, you will take your disciples back tomorrow, and be sure to spread the news of this matter along the road, so that the people of the entire Yunzhou will know!" Bai Jian's eyes condensed slightly, and he said.
Fifty million spirit crystals were naturally not given for nothing, and the Kunlun Dao Sect might be able to swallow up the entire Kunlun Dao Sect by taking advantage of the opportunity.
Xianyue bowed and said, "Yes, I'll go and prepare!"
There was a touch of coldness in her eyes, she was bound to get back from the Beihai Sword Pavilion for the humiliation she suffered at the Spring and Autumn Banquet of the Jin Kingdom today, she suddenly thought of something when she got up to leave, and looked at Bai Jian and said: "There is one more thing, about the ...... of the Nine Yin Spirit Body"
"I know the matter of the Nine Yin Spirits, and I will deal with it. Bai Jian said lightly.
Hearing this, Xianyue immediately saluted, "Then I'll retire first!"
Looking at the back of the moon leaving, Bai Jian turned around and moved his eyes to the outside of the palace, looking at the wind and snow in the sky, a flash of heat rose under his eyes, like the gaze of the young man who was obsessed with kendo many years ago looking up at the sword master.
No one knew that the young man who was obsessed with swords did not hesitate to give up his body and refine his body into a sword in order not to be affected by someone's sword intent, and in order to get out of his own sword path.
"First of all, someone will always break your legend!" Bai Jian muttered.
After a long time, he turned into a sword and broke through the air.
This night in Jinyang City is destined to be unpeaceful.
In the eyes of ordinary mortals, there is a dragon god who came down tonight and destroyed the palace, and in the eyes of the cultivators, they see the big people fighting for fear of being affected, but in the eyes of those who know, they pretend not to know anything, and are afraid that they will be erased from the world if they say something.
The people of the Changbai Sword Sect left the city overnight and returned to the sect.
The cold star ship of Yunzhou Dao Palace stopped outside the city and left the Jin Kingdom with the crown prince Sima Yu.
Many forces close to the East Palace, such as the Red Sleeve Move, were all shut down overnight, and countless people dragged their families with their mouths, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the second half of the night to go out of the city in the wind and snow, and the prince was gone, did they still stay and wait for the Jin Emperor to liquidate?
Overnight, the trees fell and scattered, and the brightly lit East Palace was dim, and all the domestic slaves and guards had already fled with valuable items.
The wind and snow howled in the night, like a mournful roar.
On the street outside the East Palace, a beautiful woman in purple clothes and a graceful figure strolled, her eyes were red, and there was white frost on the eyelashes at the corners of her eyes, as if there was endless pathos.
Zhan Xuan looked at the familiar scenery on the street, and walked into the gate of the familiar East Palace, where the snow in the courtyard was covered with a thick layer, but she could still recognize the bricks, wooden corridors, pavilions, and agarwood wine tables.
She walked very slowly, looking at the grass and trees in the courtyard, remembering the first time she saw the young man ten years ago, and in the next ten years, her eyes were already red and gradually moistened.
After a long time, Zhan Xuan walked into the main hall of the East Palace, which was already full of messes, and valuable objects had been removed, but the original layout of the hall could still be seen.
She remembered that a few days ago, she was discussing with him in this hall how to deal with the Tang family, that gentle face and gaze.
Zhan Xuan's eyes turned redder and his sockets moistened.
Holding back tears, she walked to the dormitory, which was in good condition, there were no valuables here, but there were many precious memories of her.
Looking at the sandalwood bed, not long ago she had come to wake him up every day, but from now on there would never be him on this bed again.
The tears in Zhan Xuan's eyes were already about to come out, but she still endured it, turned around and was about to go out, when suddenly out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a letter in the corner of the bed that had been thrown on the ground at random, with a few footprints printed on it, and a piece of stamped letterhead exposed.
She hurriedly bent down and picked it up.
Carefully opened the envelope and took out the stationery.
"No regrets"
On the letter paper, there are two words written in hairpin letters, the ink is still brand new, the words are tendons and willow bones, vigorous and powerful, and it can be seen that the writing is very serious.
The tears in Zhan Xuan's eyes could no longer hold back, and they fell down like broken thread beads, hitting the letter paper in his hand, splashing a little water droplet, and then being swallowed up by the chill in the air.
She rushed to the outside of the hall and shouted hoarsely at the snowy night, "Sima Yu, you bastard!"
"Bastard—"
"Bastard!"
There was a cry between the words, and she shouted three times in a row, but no one responded, probably because the wind and snow had masked her voice too tightly.
Zhan Xuan sat paralyzed in the snowdrift and burst into tears.
After a long time, she stood up, walked out of the East Palace, walked towards the palace, and then out of the palace, got into a carriage from nowhere, and slowly disappeared into Jinyang's vision, as if she had never been there.
In the Tang Mansion.
Chen Changan settled Tang Xuerou in the room, and then went downstairs, waiting for Li Zhou and them to come back while practicing.
With a few movements, Zhou Tieyi walked in from outside the door.
Chen Changan felt it, but he still closed his eyes and practiced the exercises.
Zhou Tieyi walked under the eaves, looked at Chen Changan's old eyes and moved slightly, and said, "Don't cultivate first, there are some things I want to ask you!"
