Why not use the Dragon Slayer Saber and the Heaven-Reliant Sword as the main materials to forge an unprecedented spiritual sword?
It was for this purpose that he took a stroll through Emperor Yuan Shundi's treasury.
"That box of chess pieces and the spirit-locking stone will be the finishing touch to this weapon refining."
Ning Chen nodded to himself, quite satisfied with the two items.
As for the lightning-struck Xuan Nan wood, we haven't found a way to ignite it yet, so we'll just throw it into the system space for now.
I'll keep this for later study.
"These……"
Emperor Yuan Shundi looked at the three things floating in front of him.
Ordinary chess pieces are of little importance.
One was a treasure seized from a small southern country, and the other was a painting he greatly admired.
Even though his heart was bleeding, how could he dare to refuse?
"Please accept this as a token of my appreciation, Sword Immortal."
After handing them and Zhang Wuji over to the Wudang Mountain group,
Ning Chen descended the mountain alone and flew towards the East Sea to search for the whereabouts of the Dragon-Slaying Saber.
Emperor Yuan Shundi and Prince Ruyang did not stay in Wudang Mountain for long before they were sent away.
What exactly was said is unknown.
However, after Emperor Shun of Yuan returned to Dadu (Beijing), he immediately issued two imperial edicts—
Firstly, Wudang Mountain became the sacred mountain of martial arts, Taoism became the state religion, and Zhang Zhenren was remotely honored as the national teacher, with a status equivalent to that of the emperor of the current dynasty.
Secondly, the imperial court will henceforth focus on matters of state and on campaigns against other states. From now on, all major martial arts sects will be led by the Wudang Sect; any who defy this will be exterminated within three days by the Prince of Ruyang leading his iron cavalry.
……
Ning Chen flew slowly over the sea.
Even after asking Zhang Cuishan, a "local," the location of Ice and Fire Island remained difficult to find.
After searching for an hour and taking many detours, Ning Chen finally arrived at Icefire Island.
Icefire Island is not large; everything is laid bare beneath the white eyes.
As the only living person on the island, Xie Xun's existence was like a firefly in the dark.
Ning Chen locked onto his aura almost instantly.
He appeared in front of him in a flash.
"Um?!"
Xie Xun had been blind for many years, but his hearing was truly remarkable.
His ears twitched slightly, and he abruptly turned to face Ning Chen.
"Your lightness skill is impressive! Having come to this deserted island, you must be here to find me, Xie Xun, right?"
A deserted island isolated at sea, untouched by anyone for ten years.
Not long after Zhang Cuishan and his family of three left, people landed on the island.
This person's purpose is self-evident: either to seek revenge or to forcibly seize the Dragon-Slaying Saber.
Or perhaps, both are true.
"That's right, I've come here to take the Dragon Slayer Saber."
Ning Chen nodded in agreement.
"I ask you, has my fifth brother's family fallen into your hands?"
Xie Xun asked, enunciating each word clearly.
He and Zhang Cuishan became sworn brothers, and he knew Zhang Cuishan's character and personality very well.
It's impossible for Zhang Cuishan and his wife to betray him.
Wuji is simple-minded and a child, making him an easy target for people to use as a breakthrough point to interrogate him about the whereabouts of the Dragon-Slaying Saber.
"Falling into my hands..."
Ning Chen frowned slightly, thinking that Zhang Wuji had indeed fallen into his hands and been brought back to Wudang by him.
"You shameless scoundrel, you wouldn't even spare a child! Die!"
in an instant,
Xie Xun roared and swung his Dragon-Slaying Saber, bringing it down heavily on Xie Xun's head.
"Zhang Wuji suffered some hardship, but his life was not in danger."
"My child, Wuji! Your godfather has wronged you!"
Thank you for your extremely fast swordsmanship; the barrage of sword energy has ravaged this forest beyond recognition.
Each time he swung his sword, several thick trees would fall with a crash, startling a flock of birds into flight through the forest.
Ning Chen used the Lingbo Weibu technique, his movements were unpredictable.
The Dragon-Slaying Saber was only two inches away from him, yet not a single trace of its aura touched him.
He knew Xie Xun had probably misunderstood, so he sighed and decided not to explain further.
With a tap of the Qiankun Bag, a thin rope flew out from it.
"Demon-binding rope, go."
As Ning Chen's voice fell, the Demon-Binding Rope moved like a swift serpent.
In just a few breaths, it climbed onto Xie Xun and circled around him again and again.
At a certain moment, the demon-binding rope tightened instantly.
Bang!
The Dragon-Slaying Saber fell to the ground.
Xie Xun, on the other hand, was like a tightly bound rice dumpling, his powerful internal energy erupting from his body as he tried to break free of the ropes.
However, the rope binding his waist was so strong that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break it.
"If I had known we would have to resort to violence in the end, I would have tied you up from the beginning."
Ning Chen shook his head and smiled, sheathed the Dragon Slayer Saber, and took Xie Xun with him as they rode away on a cloud.
"Let me go! Are we on a ship? Where are you taking me?!"
"Be quiet."
Ning Chen released a burst of spiritual energy, sealing Xie Xun's mouth shut.
He would naturally not harm Xie Xun, and would even bring him to Wudang to ensure his safety.
Xie Xun's past is a story of hardship and tears, which is truly pitiful.
Most importantly, Ning Chen had a good impression of this person, so he was happy to lend a hand.
It flew to Wudang Mountain and landed in front of the Taiji Hall.
As soon as he landed, Xie Xun heard Zhang Cuishan's voice.
"The immortal has returned! It's... my elder brother!"
"Big brother!"
"Godfather! Grandmaster, Eldest Uncle, this is my godfather!"
Xie Xun lay on the ground, tightly bound by the demon-binding rope.
For a moment, I was a little confused about the situation.
"Emerald Mountain? It's Emerald Mountain! And Su Su... and Wu Ji's voice!"
He had lived with Zhang Cuishan and his family of three for three years and was extremely familiar with each other's voices.
"Immortal, please untie my elder brother. I will explain the reason to him."
Zhang Cuishan could hardly contain his joy; today was truly a day of double happiness.
After being lost for many days, his beloved son Wuji returned to his side, and his sworn brother also left the isolated island and came to Wudang.
Ning Chen reached out and put the demon-binding rope into his Qiankun bag, while also removing the spiritual power that sealed it.
Xie Xun felt his mouth loosen, and looking astonished, he asked:
"Emerald Mountain?! What exactly happened? Where is this?"
"Brother, this is Wudang!"
Zhang Cuishan pulled him into the hall and sat him down, then recounted his experiences of the past few days in detail.
Zhang Wuji would occasionally join in, gesturing with his hands and feet.
"Godfather, the immortal is amazing! He not only rescued me from the bad guys, but also took me flying in the sky!"
