Chapter 23: Saint Maiden of Yao Chi, is this the sword intention of my benefactor? at the same time. Two women were walking on the streets of the imperial city. The two women had light purple veils covering their faces, giving them a hazy charm and beauty. A tall woman dressed in palace dress, with a golden hairpin in her hair, she has the charm of a beautiful lady. One is younger, with a ponytail, fair skin, and big watery eyes full of spirit, looking more playful and cute. The appearance of the two stunning beauties sparked a lot of discussion. "Who are these two beauties?" "Look at the clothes, he doesn't look like someone from Da Qi." "And their cultivation seems unfathomable." "Oh, what a shame. I wanted to invite them out for a drink."
These two women came from the holy land of Yao Chi. They are the grand elder of the Yao Chi Holy Land and Yao Yue. And the contemporary saint of the Yao Chi Holy Land, Su Lingfu. Yao Yue is one of the strongest fighters in the Yao Chi Holy Land, and her cultivation has already broken through to the Ascension Realm. Su Lingfu was only sixteen years old, but she had already reached the Nascent Soul stage. She was extremely talented and had an immeasurable future. "Master, it looks like there's no hope this time." Su Lingfu sighed and said helplessly, "How about we go back?" Yaoyue did not answer, but continued walking forward without changing her expression. Su Lingfu smiled bitterly and said, "In order to find that sword cultivator benefactor, you have brought me to Dongzhou every year over the years." "But Master, how can you be sure that the senior is definitely in Dongzhou?" "He must be in Dongzhou, and he must be in the Great Qi Dynasty." Yao Yue narrowed her eyes and said confidently, "Because apart from Zhongzhou, among all the dynasties in the four states of East, West, South, and North, only this place is filled with the pure sword intent that has ruled for eternity." "But that senior's cultivation is very high, far superior to that of our master." Su Lingfu said helplessly, "If the senior wanted to see the master, he would have seen him long ago." "And the reason why we failed so many times must be that the senior wanted to hide and didn't want to see us." A trace of loneliness flashed across Yaoyue's beautiful eyes, and she nodded, "That's right." She was just about to set off back to the sacred place of Yao Chi when suddenly a loud bang was heard in the distance. A beam of sword energy shot up into the sky, emitting a powerful force that could destroy everything, and pierced directly through the clouds. The pure sword intent spread out, allowing them to feel it clearly even though they were dozens of miles away.
The passers-by around were shocked when they saw this. "Oh my goodness, what is this?!" "Who are these powerful people fighting?" "Looking at this direction...it seems to be the area around Bailu Academy?" Su Lingfu was also stunned by the terrifying sword energy. After a long while, she suddenly reacted and said in astonishment, "Master, this familiar sword intent, could it be..." "That's right!" Yao Yue's beautiful eyes revealed an excited gleam, "It's exactly the same sword energy that killed the ascended demon dragon and saved us that day!" "That sword cultivator senior is indeed here!" "Fuer, there's no time to lose, let's hurry over there!" …… Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, Ye Qing and Mo Zhentian exchanged moves again. The second collision between the Xuanyuan Sword and the Cauldron of the Mother Qi of All Things unleashed a force powerful enough to destroy the heavens and the earth. Fortunately, the Fire Phoenix King stepped in to protect the city, preventing half of the imperial city from being destroyed by the sword's power. "Heh, Ye Qing, do you think you can do whatever you want just because you are in the Ascension Realm?" Mo Zhentian held the Cauldron of the Mother Energy of All Things in his hand and laughed coldly, "You are so arrogant in front of me. You are really lawless and treat the rules as nothing." "Don't forget, no matter what time it is, I am still the ancestor of Da Qi." “Even if your Ye family’s ancestors come, they must respectfully kowtow to me!” Hearing this, Ye Qing sneered. "Based on your strength, are you worthy of our Ye family's respect?" "As an ancestor, you are disrespectful. When these people slandered my daughter, you pretended not to see it. When I showed up to defend my daughter, you immediately came out to suppress my Ye family." "Do you, the royal family of Daqi, really think that there is no one left in my Ye family?" As he spoke, Ye Qing held the hilt of the sword horizontally and sneered, "Mo Zhentian, didn't Qu Qingyan send you here just for my Ye family's Xuanyuan Sword?" "The supreme weapon cannot be touched lightly. If you want this sword, let's fight it out." "I don't need the Xuanyuan Sword, and you don't need the Cauldron of the Mother Qi of All Things. If you can survive three strikes from me, I will give the Xuanyuan Sword to you." Hearing this, everyone around, including the Fire Phoenix King, was shocked by Ye Qing's domineering and arrogance. We are both in the Ascension Realm, so why are you so arrogant? However, Mo Zhentian's expression changed slightly, and he did not dare to accept Ye Qing's declaration of war. He understood that even though they were both in the Ascension Realm, there was an insurmountable gap between his strength and Ye Qing's. He was able to withstand Ye Qing’s two sword attacks entirely relying on the power of the Cauldron of the Mother Energy of All Things.
The Xuan-Yuan Sword is for attack, and the Cauldron of the Mother Energy of All Things is for defense. The quality of these two supreme divine weapons is equal, which is enough to make up for the difference in strength between them, making it impossible for either of them to do anything to the other. However, if I don't use the defense of the Cauldron of the Mother Qi of All Things... Even if Ye Qing didn't use the Xuanyuan Sword, it would be enough to kill him within three swords. Therefore, there was no way he would agree to Ye Qing's words. "Ye Qing, I can give you a chance to come back." Mo Zhentian narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "The demons are rampant right now, and the Great Qi Dynasty needs people right now." "If you are willing to hand over the Xuanyuan Sword and return to the court, I can ask Her Majesty the Empress to pardon your crime for causing trouble in the Imperial City today." "Don't forget, your Ye family has been subjects of Da Qi for generations, and has produced many heroes." "Do you really want to betray the Great Qi Dynasty and bring shame to your ancestors?" Hearing this, Ye Qing couldn't help but laugh out loud with his head raised, as if he had heard a huge joke. Mo Zhentian frowned, "What are you laughing at?" "I laugh at you, old man. Your skin is as thick as a city wall." Ye Qing raised his chin and jokingly said, "You also know that our Ye family has been loyal to Da Qi for generations and has produced countless heroes?" "Let me tell you, my Ye family has been established for more than 300 years, and has gone through ten generations. Almost every generation has fought on the battlefield and served the country loyally." "Half of the reason why the Great Qi Dynasty can stand on the throne of Dongzhou today is due to my Ye family." "But how did that ungrateful Qu Qingyan treat my Ye family?" "Every day he speaks high-sounding words, but his actions are all ungrateful." "Over the years, my Ye family has been suppressed, resources have been stopped, and salaries have been withheld, leaving us with the empty title of King Xiaoyao, and becoming the laughing stock of the entire Da Qi." "Now, they have even gone further and are plotting to seize the Xuanyuan Sword of our Ye family." "Such a heartless and ungrateful king, is he worthy of me, Ye Qing, fighting to the death for him?!"
