Previously, Master He Deng brought the two over by breaking time and space . When re-examined, it seems that the location of the two wasn’t far from the small village full of death and corpses . They should be able to arrive there soon .
“Let’s go,” Jiang Xunyi said, before he began to head east .
Yun Xie grabbed him and smiled, “We should go northwest . ”
“…”
At this moment, there was a loud noise nearby, and chaotic branches and stones flew towards them . Yun Xie immediately shielded Jiang Xunyi, knocking aside the rocks with a sweep of his sleeve . He ducked behind a big tree and looked towards the place where the sound came from . The alert look on his face morphed into surprise .
“Jiang Molou?”
There was a dazzling light, filling the air with rainbow halos . A blue-clothed figure rushed out of the sky like lightning and stopped only a few steps away from the two . Suddenly there was a loud noise in the air, and several streaks of light from the glare of black swords condensed into their original shapes . They were all knocked down with only a bare hand . This awe-inspiring move could have come from no one but Jiang Molou .
Jiang Xunyi frowned and jumped out . Yun Xie caught him backhandedly and whispered in his ear, “Look again, your brother is very strong . Nothing will happen to him, so what are you in a hurry for?”
Jiang Xunyi’s ears were itchy with his warm breath, and he slightly hid his head to hide . Right as he ducked, the swords flashed and a person leapt out . His palm slammed against Jiang Molou‘s . Both took a step back and landed on the ground .
Yun Xie felt that the other person was a little familiar, and just as he asked, “Who is this?”, Jiang Xunyi had already exclaimed, “Chen Yuanxin? He has a pale little face[1], and yet he could still return Molou’s blow . Not bad, I must have misread him . ”
Yun Xie was dissatisfied and said, “What do you count as a pale little face? Is his face whiter than mine?”

After Chen Yuanxin landed, he staggered, almost falling down before he quickly supported himself on a big tree next to him . He said with a loud voice: “The fame of Lingyin School’s power really is well-deserved, but Sect Master Jiang, think clearly . Everyone is looking for Jiang Xunyi right now . No matter how deep the Lingyin School’s roots are, you still won’t be able to protect him . You have great prestige . As the leader of a school, are you going to let the whole Lingyin School pay for one person? As long as I raise my hand[2], I don’t know how many people will not be happy until he’s dead . ”
Jiang Xunyi couldn’t understand and whispered to Yun Xie, “How did I offend them? I can count the number of people that were related to the incident on one hand . Why is everyone so indignant?”
Yun Xie sneered . “Excuses . In the cultivation world, your Lingyin and my Yangxian were originally the top . Finally, not only did Lingyin split in two, but you were also exposed . How can everyone not use this to their advantages? Huh, with how gluttonous everyone is, they really are not afraid to die . ”
On the other side, Jiang Molou was unmoved and said to Chen Yuan coldly, “Then I’ll kill you first!”
Before the words were finished, the sword qi burst out with a scary screech . As the blade approached, it released an oppressive energy that even caused their clothes to rise .
Chen Yuanxin looked shocked before his expression relaxed in the blink of an eye . The corners of his lips gradually bent into a strange smile before he began to draw his sword out of the sheath .
However, just after he pulled out his sword, his blade was stopped .
Two slender and white fingers sandwiched the bright blade of the sword . The young man in the light blue robes stood sideways elegantly, exposing his flawless side profile .
“Jiang! Xun! Yi!” Chen Yuanxin was shocked to see who was blocking him and roared angrily, “Jiang Xunyi, why are you still not dead?!”
Jiang Xunyi held his fingers together, holding the sword . He stared at him with a stern expression, his eyebrows mocking .
“You haven’t died yet, so how can I die?” he said .
Jiang Molou was almost unable to stop his sword . If Yun Xie didn’t jab his wrist, Jiang Xunyi would’ve been stabbed by him . Although he knew it was impossible with the others skill, he was still afraid, causing him to break out in a cold sweat . “Nonsense!” he angrily exclaimed .

Jiang Xunyi smiled, stunned . “Kid, you’re going against me?”
Jiang Molou glared at him fiercely before reluctantly returning his sword to its scabbard . When he thought that this man had an accident, his heart hurt with an unspeakable pain . He felt that if Jiang Xunyi could come back safely, he would pay any price . But when he actually saw him, he found that not only was he was still alive and kicking, he wasn’t even taking his own life seriously . He was so angry that his teeth itched . No matter what, he couldn’t give him a warm face .
Jiang Molou has been awkward ever since he was young, so Jiang Xunyi was very experienced in dealing with him . He smiled and said: “I know you’re happy to see me, but the time isn’t right, so express your happiness later . First tell me, what is the situation now?”
Jiang Molou: “…” He was very depressed, but he had to talk about it, so he reluctantly explained .
It turned out that after Jiang Xunyi and Yun Xie somehow disappeared with the old monk, everyone was shocked . Jiang Xunyi’s resurrection was not a trivial matter, and it was hard to distinguish if Yun Xie was a friend or an enemy . If this matter wasn’t settled while Yun Xie was knocked out, the trouble would probably be endless, so he began to look for the two .
Wherever they went, Jiang Molou would naturally go to look, but everyone knew that he and Jiang Xunyi were brothers that were even closer than blood related brothers . No matter where he went, many eyes were on him . Worried and irritable, he fought with several people on his way to find them, even leaving behind his two disciples . Halfway along, he found that Chen Yuanxin was still trailing him, and the two began to fight .
Jiang Xunyi seemed to be listening carefully to Jiang Molou’s story, but his two fingers holding Chen Yuanxin’s sword were motionless . Chen Yuanxin pulled the sword with no results for a while . He was eager to escape and wanted to let go of the sword handle and leave immediately . Unexpectedly, his hand seemed to be stuck to the sword, and he couldn’t let go .
Yun Xie watched with interest . Jiang Xunyi glanced at him then turned his head to Jiang Molou: “Molou, before they come here, you should leave here now and take your two little cubs back to Lingyin Mountain . I will get out and write to you immediately . ”
Jiang Molou knew that Jiang Xunyi believed he wouldn’t be able to take a side easily . If he stayed, it was hard not to get involved .
He refused, saying, “I’m not going . There is nothing terrible . What the hell are you doing, you…” He hesitated for a moment . Pretending as if he didn’t care, he said casually, “You‘re not hurt, are you?”
Jiang Xunyi faintly heard voices coming from afar . Unlike usual, he did not tease Jiang Molou and waved his hand . “I am very good, Yun Xie suffered a little injury, and now…”
Jiang Molou was immediately disinterested . “Well, that’s good . ”

Yun Xie looked like a white lotus, giving Jiang Xunyi a pitiful stare: “A’Xun, look at him…”
Jiang Molou snorted . “Fake . ”
“Both of you shut up!” Jiang Xunyi yelled fiercely . “Molou, hurry up . Do you think I am unable to protect myself? The Lingyin School is in trouble right now . Be careful of people taking advantage of you not being on the mountain . ”
In Jiang Molou’s heart, he was not very good at conspiring . However, since Jiang Xunyi’s incident, in the face of pressure from elders and the outside world, he propped up the Lingyin School alone and grew a lot in a short time . He understood the implication immediately, hesitating for a moment before he looked up at Jiang Xunyi .
Jiang Xunyi nodded at him, thinking for a moment before he said, “Help me do something along the way . ”
He whispered into Jiang Molou’s ear then patted his shoulder and asked, “Is the time a little tight? Do we still have time?”
Jiang Molou replied, “What a coincidence, I have already brought the person out and I can deliver later . ”
Jiang Xunyi smiled and said, “Good boy . Then you can go . ”
“Okay . ” Jiang Molou clenched his sword handle . “Thank you this time, but if I don’t hear from you within a month, I will never listen to you again in my life . ”
Jiang Xunyi said with a smile, “I’m really scared of people like you who bring up lifetimes in their promises . Everyone’s life is so long, how can it be that simple – come on, go!”
Jiang Molou stretched out his finger again as a warning to Yun Xie . He turned around and, with a few leaps, there was not even a shadow of him .
Chen Yuanxin took a deep breath and was about to speak when Jiang Xunyi suddenly ignited a flame from the palm of his hand .
The flames seemed to burn directly on his skin, but Jiang Xunyi’s hands showed no signs of damage . The red flames covered his fair skin, showing a different kind of beauty .
An inch of flame separated from Jiang Xunyi’s palm, and meandered up the sword . The tip of the blade soon became black .
Chen Yuanxin was terrified and said: “What are you going to do? Stop it! Ah—” After he spoke, he couldn’t help screaming .
A person who cultivates will receive their own sword once they reach a certain age, and famous swords have spirits . Once the sword is taken, it is closely related to its owner . Basically, the sword and the man become one . If the sword spirit dies, the person dies too . Jiang Xunyi condensed his spiritual power and melted the end of Chen Yuanxin’s sword, which is tantamount to hitting the other person’s primordial spirit . Ordinary people were naturally unable to withstand this pain .
While Chen Yuanxin let out earth-shattering screams, Yun Xie looked at him with a smile and crossed arms without any discomfort . However, Jiang Xunyi suddenly stopped his hand, his expression somewhat different .
Yun Xie froze for a moment and said, “What’s wrong?”
Jiang Xunyi prodded Chen Yuanxin, who was unconscious on the ground, with his toes, frowning: “What a waste . I wanted to ask him something, but before I could ask, he fainted . ”
Yun Xie patted his shoulder and smiled: “That’s nothing . If you want to ask something, I’ll call you a few more people . ” After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and shouted to the distance: “Hey, brother over there! Are you looking for Jiang Xunyi? He is here!”
Jiang Xunyi: “…”
