49: Chapter 49: Wave Viewing Pavilion (Please follow!) 49: Chapter 49: Wave Viewing Pavilion (Please follow!) Deng Baiyi sat in the shade of a tree on Little Desolate Mountain, waiting for Xie Zhen’s seclusion to end.

She was very worried about Xie Zhen’s injury… but after all, with her low realm, her mental energy was truly exhausted after controlling the Nine Bright Phoenix Fire Formation.

After waiting for a long time, she leaned her hand to support her chin and dozed off, her head nodding like a pecking chicken.

“Hoo hoo hoo.”

A gust of wind swept across the mountain top.

Xie Xuanyi, having successfully broken through, waved his sleeve to disperse the remaining Purple Essence Pill Medicine Qi and reached out to remove one after another of the hanging Purity Talismans.

He looked ahead, unable to suppress a chuckle.

Under the shade of the tree, Deng Baiyi and Jiang Huang, one big and one small, were both dozing off.

The breeze gently lifted.

Deng Baiyi suddenly raised her head, and in her drowsy state, she saw the slender figure in black sitting beside her, reaching out to lift the tree resin mask from her cheek.

Her vision gradually cleared from blurriness.

The handsome face of Xie Xuanyi came into view.

“Awake?”

Xie Xuanyi spoke softly, stacking the thick Purity Talismans neatly and returning them to Deng Baiyi.

“You…”

Deng Baiyi reached out with the back of her hand, gently wiping off her drool, her eyes suddenly brightening with astonishment, “You’re alright now?”

She looked at Xie Xuanyi’s right shoulder in disbelief.

If she remembered correctly… there was a fist-sized bloody hole there before!

And not much time had passed, less than half a night.

The black shirt was torn, but the skin was smooth as jade, not to mention a bloody hole, there wasn’t even a scab!

Disbelief filled Deng Baiyi’s eyes.

She cautiously moved closer, bending the back of her finger as if to knock on stone and gently tapped and pat it.

Xie Xuanyi laughed, “Rest assured, it has already healed.”

“In this vast world, nothing is impossible.”

After a pause, Xie Xuanyi calmly said, “Cultivators draw on Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi precisely for the purpose of ‘Washing Marrow’, to alter their bones and muscles, allowing them to live longer… Such a flesh regeneration technique is nothing remarkable in the Buddhist sects, many Great Practitioners can do it.”

Deng Baiyi blinked, “…Buddhist sects?”

Just what sort of background does this Xie Zhen have?

How does he know a bit about everything?

Seeing Deng Baiyi’s reaction, Xie Xuanyi sighed inwardly; he couldn’t explain that his quick flesh regeneration was a product of the “Undying Spring,” could he?

Xie Xuanyi explained, “It’s not only in Buddhist sects, many great sects possess it.”

“There’s no need to explain to me, it’s good that you’re fine.”

Deng Baiyi shook her head, she had actually lost curiosity about Xie Zhen’s sect background, “The evil cultivator has been scattered to the winds… Do you have any leads on your Flying Sword?”

As soon as she said this.

Xie Xuanyi fell silent for a moment.

Regarding the Demon Country and Bai Ze Secret Realm, he had not yet told Deng Baiyi.

The girl thought he used Soul Search to find the Flying Sword.

After pondering for a moment, Xie Xuanyi decided to withhold this from her… knowing such matters was of no benefit to Deng Baiyi, a Qi Refining Master.

The subsequent matters, he decided to handle alone.

“There are some clues, but they’re not clear yet.”

Hearing this answer, Deng Baiyi’s eyes flickered with a touch of joy.

She wished she could stay by Xie Zhen’s side a little longer.

If the Flying Sword had not been recovered, then the matter of Lichao City was not yet concluded.

Deng Baiyi blinked and asked, “Do you need me to help you with anything else?”

“No need.”

Xie Xuanyi, aware of her intentions, shook his head, “You can rest well in the next few days.

Don’t worry about the follow-up, I will deal with the Flying Sword myself.”

…

…

Deng Baiyi, holding Jiang Huang, fell into a deep sleep under the shade of the tree.

Xie Xuanyi, alone, stood at the top of Little Desolate Mountain.

The night’s great battle had come to an end, the two of them were thoroughly exhausted, but Xie Xuanyi was in high spirits, his Heart Lake clear and bright, without a trace of fatigue.

Xie Xuanyi quietly contemplated his next moves.

To obtain “Chen Ke,” he needed to enter Bai Ze Secret Realm.

In the Qing State territory, there are two major families.

The Jiang Family and the Chu Family!

Besides them, there’s a sect not to be underestimated, one with strength and status that could be ranked among the top ten within the Dachu Kingdom, Baihua Valley!

The emergence of Bai Ze Secret Realm would surely be news sealed by these three major powers.

A few days earlier, Xie Xuanyi had still been worried…

Once Bai Ze Secret Realm emerged, with the three powers’ combined blockade, ordinary people would have no chance to enter.

But now, with the information from Jia Liu’s Soul Sea, Xie Xuanyi had some leads.

According to Dragon Wood Venerable’s plan, obtaining Bai Ze’s finger bone would allow him to contact that “significant personage in Qing State.” If the other party sincerely wished to cooperate with the Demon Country… then they would definitely arrange matters close to the Secret Realm.

Using the finger bone to verify the Secret Realm’s authenticity, there was no need to enter.

As long as he got within a certain range.

Jia Liu could draw out the “truth” and then report it to Dragon Wood Venerable.

With that, his mission would be complete.

Now, with Jia Liu dead…

he was holding Jia Liu’s remnant soul, the finger-ring, as well as the most crucial Bai Ze’s finger bone.

In some sense, he could do everything “Jia Liu” was capable of.

Xie Xuanyi rubbed his forehead, inadvertently catching sight of a glimmer of light in the distance.

To ambush Jia Liu, the location chosen for the Nine Bright Phoenix Fire Formation was deliberately set high, allowing not only a view of the slightly shorter Chenqing Mountain but also surpassing the mountain hues to see the scene within Lichao City nearby.

Now that the night was past its zenith, the once prosperous ancient city was darkened, silent all around.

But amid the city’s darkness, there was a tall building, standing tower-like, its lights ever bright.

Lichao City was famous throughout the world for its annual mighty tides.

And that building, tall as a tower, was Lichao City’s most famous “sightseeing spot” and also the best place to view the tides.

Wave Viewing Pavilion.

“I heard that tonight You Hai King is hosting a banquet at Wave Viewing Pavilion…”

Xie Xuanyi narrowed his eyes.

“The ones You Hai King would host a banquet for are none other than those few people.”

Over a decade ago, when he was put on the wanted list…

he once fled to Qing State.

Baihua Valley, Jiang Family, Chu Family.

Xie Xuanyi had dealings with all three of these powers.

What he was most familiar with should be Baihua Valley because even before being put on the wanted list, he had crossed swords with Baihua Valley many times.

Xie Xuanyi became famous at a young age, and before truly defeating competitors from all four territories, many did not acknowledge his so-called title of “Sword Immortal.”

There was a rather long period.

Countless cultivators came to the mountain seeking an audience, to challenge him with their swords.

Those too weak couldn’t even ascend the sect’s gates.

The reason why Xie Xuanyi had such a profound memory of Baihua Valley…

was that the disciples who emerged from Baihua Valley, whether it was in terms of cultivation realm or innate talent, could all be considered top-notch.

Although the most famous two sects within the territory of Dachu were the Taoist and Sword Palace,

This did not mean that Dachu only had these two sects.

All three thousand great Dao could lead to ascension.

Apart from the Taoist and Sword Palace, other sects also had individuals who established schools and led an era’s pinnacle, figures who were exceptionally impressive.

Baihua Valley was such a sect, one that could easily rank in the top ten of Dachu.

As for the story of the Chu Family, everyone in Qing State should know it well.

Throughout the entire Dachu, only three non-royal princes were conferred, and You Hai King Chu Lin was one of them…

However, this prince’s status had little to do with his family, it was purely his own “fortune.” Many years ago, during intense internal strife within the Dachu Dynasty, before the former Dachu Emperor ascended the throne and even before the crown prince was named, there was a bleak and difficult period of adversity.

At that time, Chu Lin and the young Emperor Chu were close friends, providing full support to each other, and later when True Dragon ascended to power, naturally, he also received the Dao and ascended.

One could tell just from the title of this non-royal prince.

You Hai, You Hai.

He abided by the rules, yet lived in carefree ease.

After Emperor Chu passed away, You Hai King was not affected.

Because from the very beginning, this prince had been in an idle position.

Although his status was extraordinary, his actual power wasn’t significant, he had always been unable to interfere with the internal mechanisms, laws in the Imperial City, and was only free to live joyfully in his own fiefdom.

Nevertheless, these were enough for the Chu Family to become a formidable power in their own right.

—-

The last of these, the Jiang Family.

This was actually the power that Xie Xuanyi was most familiar with among the three.

The current Family Head, Jiang Lie, was a renowned garrison commander from the Northern Regions.

Jiang Lie had charged into battle on horseback in the Northern Region wars, partaking in several crucial victories, and also participated in the final battle to slay Mo Zhen.

His war achievements were illustrious and brilliant.

Back then, he was already a veteran, and now he was nearing eighty.

In recent years, the Dachu Royal Family demoted all garrison commanders, with the vast majority being recalled to the Imperial City…

and a small number went back to their fiefs.

Elder Jiang was among this scarce few who “returned home.”

The Jiang Family had been a prominent and distinguished clan in Qing State for many years.

Citing advanced age as his reason, Jiang Lie declined the summons to the Imperial City, choosing to retire and return to his hometown instead.

The Imperial City had no choice but to grant his request.

Over the years.

Old Master Jiang had stopped venturing out.

The vast enterprise of the Jiang Family had also gradually been handed over to the younger generation to manage.

The reason why Xie Xuanyi was familiar with the “Jiang Family” was because his relationship with the “Jiang Family” was quite special…

At the time of his escape, everyone in the world wanted to kill him.

Only the Jiang Family was willing to extend a helping hand.

It could be said that if it weren’t for the Jiang Family, he would have been dead in Qing State long ago.

“Sigh.”

Xie Xuanyi took the time of half an incense stick to sort out his thoughts and put the scattered memories of Qing State in order.

Afterwards, he exhaled a turbid breath slowly.

Looking at the swaying lantern on the top floor of Wave Viewing Pavilion, Xie Xuanyi’s expression became somewhat complex.

He was contemplating, and he was also struggling.

“Should I go and see…”

“The traitor mentioned by Dragon Wood Venerable?”
