Chapter 23: Saint of Yaochi, is this the sword intention of the benefactor?
At the same time.
Two women were walking on the streets of the imperial city.
Both women's faces were covered with light purple gauze, giving them a hazy charm and beauty.
A tall figure, dressed in palace attire, with a gold hairpin on her head, looks like a beautiful lady.
One is younger, with a ponytail, fair skin, big watery eyes full of aura, and looks more playful and cute.
The appearance of two stunning beauties caused a lot of discussion.
"Who are these two beauties?"
"Looking at his clothes, he doesn't look like one of us from Daqi."
"And their cultivation seems to be unfathomable."
"Oh, what a pity. I originally wanted to ask them out for a drink."
These two women came from Yaochi Holy Land.
They are Yao Yue, the great elder of Yaochi Holy Land.
And the contemporary saint of Yaochi Holy Land, Su Lingfu.
Yao Yue is one of the strongest combatants in the Yaochi Holy Land, and her cultivation has already broken through to the Ascension Realm.
And Su Lingfu was only sixteen years old and already in the Nascent Soul realm. She was a monster of talent and her future was immeasurable.
"Master, it seems there is no chance again this time."
Su Lingfu sighed and said helplessly, "How about going back?"
Yao Yue didn't answer, she just kept walking forward without changing her expression.
Su Lingfu smiled bitterly and said, "In order to find the sword cultivator, you have brought me to Dongzhou every year for these years."
"But Master, how can you be sure that that senior must be in Dongzhou?"
"He must be in Dongzhou, and he must be in the Daqi Dynasty."
Yao Yue squinted her eyes and said firmly, "Because except for Zhongzhou, among all the dynasties in the four states of east, west, north and south, only here is filled with the pure sword spirit that is arbitrary and eternal."
"However, that senior's cultivation is so powerful that he is far superior to Master."
Su Lingfu said helplessly, "If senior wanted to see Master, he would have met him long ago."
"And the reason why we failed so many times is because senior must have wanted to hide and not want to see us."
A trace of loneliness flashed across Yao Yue's beautiful eyes, and she nodded, "Yes."
She was about to leave to return to Yaochi Holy Land when suddenly there was a loud bang in the distance.
A sword energy in the shape of a pillar of light rose into the sky, emitting powerful power that could destroy all things, and pierced directly through the clouds.
The pure sword intent permeated the air, making them feel it clearly even though they were dozens of miles apart.
When the passers-by around him saw this, they were instantly shocked.
"Hey guys, what is this?!"
"Which great power is this, fighting with magic?"
"Looking in this direction...it seems to be the area around White Deer Academy?"
Su Lingfu was also stunned by this terrifying sword energy.
After a long time, she suddenly reacted and said in shock, "Master, could this familiar sword intent be..."
"That's right!"
Yao Yue's beautiful eyes showed excitement, "It's exactly the same as the sword energy that killed the ascended demon dragon and saved us that day!"
"That senior sword cultivator is indeed here!"
"Fu'er, without further ado, let's hurry over!"
…
Under everyone's shocked gaze, Ye Qing and Mo Zhentian exchanged moves again. The second collision between the Xuanyuan Sword and the Mother Qi Cauldron of All Things unleashed a power that was enough to destroy the world.
Fortunately, the Fire Phoenix King took action to protect him, so half of the imperial city was not destroyed by the power of the sword.
"Hey, Ye Qing, do you think that because you are in the Ascension Realm, you can do whatever you want?"
Mo Zhentian held the Cauldron of Mother Qi of All Things in his hand and said with a cold smile, "To be so arrogant in front of me, you are really lawless and regard the rules as nothing."
"Don't forget, no matter what happens, I will still be the ancestor of Da Qi."
"Even if your ancestors of the Ye family come, they must still respect and kowtow to me!"
Hearing this, Ye Qing scoffed.
"You alone are worthy of being respected by my Ye family?"
"As an ancestor, it is disrespectful to be an elder. When these people slander my daughter, you pretend not to see it. I show up to stand up for my daughter, and you immediately come out to suppress my Ye family."
"Do you, the Daqi royal family, really think that my Ye family has no one left?"
Saying that, Ye Qing held the hilt of the sword horizontally and sneered, "Mo Zhentian, isn't it just for the Xuanyuan Sword of my Ye family that Qu Qingyan sent you here?"
"Don't touch it without a divine weapon. If you want this sword, we'll have a good fight."
"I don't need the Xuanyuan Sword, and you don't need the Mother Qi Cauldron of All Things. If you can survive three swords in my hand, I will hand over the Xuanyuan Sword to you."
Upon hearing this, everyone around him, including the Fire Phoenix King, were shocked by Ye Qing's domineering and arrogant attitude.
We are both in the Ascension Realm, 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 strikes entirely because of the power of the Qi Cauldron, the Mother of All Things.
The Xuanyuan Sword is for offense, and the Cauldron of Mother Qi of All Things is for defense.
The quality of these two godless artifacts is equal, which is enough to smooth out the gap in strength between them, making neither of them helpless.
However, if I don’t rely on the defense of the Mother Qi Cauldron of All Things...
Even if Ye Qing didn't use Xuanyuan Sword, it would be enough to kill him within three swords.
Therefore, it was definitely impossible for him to comply with Ye Qing's words.
"Ye Qing, I can give you a chance to turn around."
Mo Zhentian squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Now that demons are rampant, it is the right time for the Da Qi Dynasty to employ people."
"If you are willing to hand over the Xuanyuan Sword and submit to the imperial court again, I can plead with Her Majesty the Empress to pardon you for causing such trouble in the imperial city today."
"Don't forget, you Ye family have been subjects of Da Qi for generations, and you have produced many heroes and martyrs."
"Do you really want to betray the Qi Dynasty and bring shame to your ancestors?"
Hearing this, Ye Qing couldn't help but throw his head back and laugh as if he had heard a big joke.
Mo Zhentian frowned, "Why are you laughing?"
"I laugh at you, old guy, your skin is as thick as a city wall."
Ye Qing raised his chin and said jokingly, "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 three hundred years and has gone through ten generations. Almost every generation has fought on the battlefield and served the country loyally."
"The fact that the Daqi Dynasty is able to stand on the throne at the top of Dongzhou today is partly due to my Ye family."
"But, how did Qu Qingyan, that white-eyed wolf, treat my Ye family?"
"Every day I say high-sounding words, but all I do is ungratefulness."
"Over the years, our Ye family has been frequently suppressed, with resources suspended and salaries deducted, making us the laughing stock of the entire Daqi with the empty title of Xiaoyao King."
"Now, he is even more serious and plotting against my Ye family's Xuanyuan Sword."
"Such a ruthless and unjust king, is he worthy of me, Ye Qing, fighting to the death?!"
