Chapter 141: Escorting the Ancient Heavenly Sword
In the end, the Arctic Shangqing Sect still chose one side among some forces that had no conflict of interest, and decided to exchange the Ancient Heavenly Sword for some resources that would be beneficial to the development of its own sect.
However, Xiao Ze learned the specific situation from his father and mother, since the birth of the Ancient Heavenly Sword this time, attracting so many peerless masters, most of the high-level leaders of the Arctic Shangqing Sect also felt the hot hand of the Ancient Heavenly Sword Sword, lest continuing to keep this sword in the sect would cause the disaster of destroying the sect.
If you can really get the inheritance of the ancient gods, it will be enough, this risk is still worth it, but it has been more than a hundred years since the Arctic Shangqing Sect obtained the ancient heavenly sword, and it has gone through several generations and countless peerless masters' exploration, and in the end, it has not been able to get a glimpse of the legendary ancient god inheritance, and this time it has united the strength of most of the cultivation world, but it is still fruitless, and people have long lost confidence.
It just so happened that at this time, there were several powerful forces that did not give up, and wanted to exchange with the Arctic Shangqing Sect for the Heavenly Punishment Divine Sword to take back for study, and the major high-level leaders of the Arctic Shangqing Sect after repeated discussions, thinking about the pros and cons, felt that instead of guarding an ethereal treasure, it was better to agree to the request of the major powerful forces in exchange for something substantial, so that even if the cultivation world was in turmoil in the future because of the Ancient Heavenly Sword, the Arctic Shangqing Sect would be able to stay away from the center of the whirlpool, and it would also be able to get some benefits from it, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone.
After all, every time the Ancient Heavenly Sword was born, it would bring a turmoil to the cultivation world. This time, the birth of the Qingzong in the Arctic was even more noisy, and the Qingzong in the Arctic was also afraid that they would become the source of turmoil.
Of course, there were also voices of opposition to this decision, people couldn't be sure whether the legendary ancient god inheritance really existed, if there was really the so-called ancient god inheritance, the decision of the Arctic Shangqing Sect this time would outweigh the losses, but in the end, most of the elders were still in favor of getting rid of the ancient heavenly sword, so the matter was decided.
There are several potential forces that want to exchange with the Arctic Upper Green Sect for the Heavenly Punishment Divine Sword, but it is impossible for the Arctic Upper Green Sect to hand over this sword to the opposing Divine Force, not to mention the inheritance of the ancient gods. The Ancient Heavenly Sword itself is also the first divine weapon of the ancients. Although the Excalibur is lacking nowadays, and it is no longer as powerful as it was in ancient times, it is also a first-class killing weapon in the world.
After repeated discussions, the Arctic Shangqing Sect decided to use the Ancient Kaizhu Sword to make a deal with the Zixiao Dynasty royal family in the west of the Eastern Saint Divine Continent. The development of the imperial family was mainly the expansion of the country. And the development of the sect is the power of the sect. The two do not interfere with each other, and there will not be much conflict of interest in the future, and the conditions provided by the Zixiao Dynasty are also very rich.
In the end, the Qingzong of the North Pole and the Zixiao Dynasty privately reached an agreement. The Arctic Shangqingzong is responsible for secretly sending the divine sword to the royal capital of the Zixiao Dynasty, and at that time, the royal family of the Zixiao Dynasty will prepare the exchange of the divine sword in accordance with the terms negotiated in the agreement, and then the person who escorts the divine sword will bring it back to the Arctic Shangqingzong.
This matter is very important, and the two sides are also discussing it in private, after all, the royal family of the Zixiao Dynasty is also worried that it will cause trouble after exchanging the Heavenly Divine Sword, but in order to let the people in the cultivation world divert their attention from the Arctic Shangqing Sect, on the day the agreement was reached, the Arctic Shangqing Sect still announced the news, but it did not explain that the power of the exchange for the Divine Sword was the Zixiao Dynasty.
"Daddy is in charge of escorting the Excalibur this time?" Xiao Ze asked in surprise after hearing Xiao Tianying explain all this.
Xiao Tianying had already told Xiao Ze that the Zixiao Dynasty was worried that they would arouse the suspicion of people in the cultivation world by pressing the Divine Sword and exchanging the materials of the Divine Sword, so they proposed to the Arctic Shangqing Sect that they would be responsible for escorting, and the Arctic Shangqing Sect finally agreed to this condition, but this kind of thing naturally cannot be done by ordinary people, and later after discussion, it was decided that Xiao Ze's father and mother would personally send the Ancient Heavenly Sword to the royal capital of the Zixiao Dynasty.
Xiao Ze's father and mother are both top figures in the cultivation world, and their strength is even more powerful, and it is naturally much safer for the two of them to personally press them.
"That's right, when the time comes, your mother and I will personally escort the divine sword!" Xiao Tianying nodded, and then said: "In this exchange of items, I got a dragon blood grass for you, as well as several other spiritual objects, and then you and I will go to the royal capital of the Zixiao Dynasty together, and after you get the dragon blood grass, your "Xuanhuang Secret Power" can go to another level!"
Hearing this, Xiao Ze was very excited in his heart, his "Xuanhuang Secret Power" had stagnated a few months ago, it was because of the lack of a dragon's blood grass that he could not prepare the third-level quenching spiritual liquid, and now that there was finally news of the dragon's blood grass, Xiao Ze's strength could finally go to the next level.
Dragon's Blood Grass Xiao Tianying and Yang Yi have been looking for an unknown amount of time, but they have not heard from them, they didn't expect to have an unexpected harvest this time, they have long heard that the royal family has a rich collection, this is true, even the almost extinct Dragon's Blood Grass has a collection, which has to surprise Xiao Ze.
Ten days later......
At this time, many peerless masters who were attracted by the Heavenly Punishment Divine Sword had already left, and the masters of the other sects in the six major sects and the holy masters of the six holy lands also left a few days ago, under the Tianshan Mountain Range, with the departure of many masters, those ordinary cultivators also gradually dispersed, and now, the Arctic Qingzong seemed to have returned to its former tranquility and peace.
However, under this tranquility, the Arctic Shangqing Sect seems to have made another big move, only to see that more than a dozen carriages in the sect are neatly ready to go, today, Xiao Ze's father and mother were ordered to secretly send the Ancient Heavenly Sword to the royal capital of the Zixiao Dynasty.
This operation is very secretive, now it is only the third watch, the children in the door are still asleep, and the team escorting the Divine Sword has already set off, before this, the Arctic Shangqing Sect has already launched several batches of teams in order to hide people's eyes, after all, now the people in the cultivation world know that the Dao Arctic Shangqing Sect is going to secretly send the Ancient Heavenly Sword out of the Lu, there will definitely be countless pairs of eyes staring here.
In fact, in the past few days, the Arctic Shangqing Sect has dispatched several batches of such car teams, and the members of the team are all elites in the sect, at this time, people have already guessed what the Arctic Shangqing Sect is going to do, but the secrecy of the Arctic Shangqing Sect is in place, even if the elite disciples in these convoys, except for a few individuals, most of them do not know which team the Ancient Heavenly Sword is hiding in.
Accompanying Xiao Ze's father and mother to the royal capital of the Zixiao Dynasty, there are also Xiao Ze's third and fourth senior brothers, as well as more than a dozen carriages and hundreds of elite disciples, the leader of the team this time is Xiao Ze's third senior brother and fourth senior brother on the surface, in fact, there is also Xiao Ze's father and mother in the carriage to suppress the formation, in case there is a peerless master robbing the treasure, however, Xiao Ze's father and mother usually do not show up, and all the command is still by Xiao Ze's two senior brothers.
Xiao Ze sat in the same carriage with Xiao Tianying and Chu Yingyun, and this time he would accompany Xiao Tianying and the two, one for the sake of dragon blood grass, and the other for training.
Through the car window, Xiao Ze saw the lineup outside, and he was also shocked, although this team is no different from the ordinary business travel team at first glance, but if you observe carefully, you will find that these people all have a long breath, breathing calmly and powerfully, and they are definitely masters among the masters.
As the first divine soldier of the ancients, the Ancient Heavenly Sword is hiding endless secrets, and it is natural to be sloppy in escorting such a heavy treasure, and the Arctic Shangqing Sect is also worried that someone will rob the treasure halfway, so he let Xiao Ze's father and mother personally suppress the formation, and let hundreds of elite disciples escort it, so that even if there are people with bad intentions, they will have scruples.
In fact, it is true, although the Qingzong of the Arctic has done a lot of work to hide people's eyes, it is impossible to hide from everyone, there are always people who will focus on Xiao Ze's father's team, but after a little test of the reality, these people also felt the strength of the escort team, and finally they were all shocked by this powerful lineup.
On the desolate official road, the wind roared, the whining sound hovered in the sky, and the tornadoes roared past, making this official road look extremely desolate!
At the end of the road, many black dots gradually appeared, and after a while, the black dots approached, revealing the true face of the black dots - a convoy.
Around the convoy, there were hundreds of guards with cold faces and weapons in their hands, and their vigilant eyes were constantly sweeping around, and at a glance, this was not an ordinary convoy.
The Qingzong of the North Pole is located in the Qiuli Divine Dynasty, and the Qiuli Divine Dynasty is in the north of the East Shengshenzhou, which originally belonged to the cold zone, and now it is in the depths of winter, so the weather is indescribably cold, walking on the official road, the cold wind is howling, it is difficult to see a person, the official road is usually inaccessible, only some business travelers will pass by this official road, and there are only a few post stations used for business travel rest on the way, so it is indescribably desolate.
In the bumpy carriage, Xiao Ze slowly opened his eyes. The team has been setting off for half a month, under the personal control of Xiao Tianying and Chu Yingyun, the two peerless masters, the convoy has been safe and sound for half a month, at this speed, in three more days, Xiao Ze and his party will be able to enter the territory of the Zixiao Dynasty, once they enter the Zixiao Dynasty, they will have another ten days and half a month to reach the royal capital of the Zixiao Dynasty.
"At most, we will be able to reach the royal capital of the Zixiao Dynasty in half a month, and once we reach the royal capital, our task will be completed. There was only Xiao Ze's family of three in the carriage, and Xiao Ze's third and fourth senior brothers, as the leaders of the team, were naturally commanding the team outside.
