Chapter 73: Fight against foreign aggression, maintain domestic stability, and pacify Heishan, Bai Qiuyi's purpose of coming, Jiang Yi, there is someone in Shenjing who has been waiting for you
Heishan City, Shaoyang Martial Arts School.

Song Chaixin frowned.

Bai Qiuyi in front of him looked harmless, like an old man in his twilight years, sitting upright and behaving calmly.

But Song Chaixin knew clearly in his heart,
This guy who used to be the master of Wutong Mansion, according to Xie Qiaoxuan, has gone very far in the third step.
How terrible is it.

Now he has managed to guard Montenegro.

Song Chaixin was naturally not completely ignorant of the realm of cultivation.

Golden skin and jade veins, mercury blood and silver marrow, water and fire fairy clothes, and gathering qi from all directions are the first great realm, called the 'first step'. Ninety percent of the warriors in the world will linger in it all their lives.

King Kong, Huang Ting and Xiaoyao have entered the second step of "Great Innateness". No matter where they go, they can be regarded as the backbone and masters.

But only the existence of the condensed 'Yuan Dan',

Only then can one become truly famous throughout a prefecture, transcend the city level, and no longer be confined to one place. One can be like a dragon crossing the river, and be a guest of honor wherever one goes.

And Yuandan also has different levels of quality.

His maternal grandfather Xie Qiaoxuan was at the first level and was still in the "nurturing elixir" stage.

However, according to Xie Qiaoxuan's later account,
When Pei Nanbei and Ye Cang suddenly arrived, Bai Qiuyi showed the level of the second level "Dharma Appearance".

But several demon hunters were dispatched to surround and suppress him.

However, Bai Qiuyi had burst out with the peak of Yuandan and reached the third level of 'Heavenly Man' cultivation, and was directly defeated and his trace was cut off.

It can be said that unless the fourth-step 'Master of the Real Person' takes action, few people can compete with Bai Qiuyi.

"Mr. Bai is now wanted by the entire Aquarius State. He is also the person specifically wanted by the State Lord Pei Nanbei and the Demon Hunter General. What are you doing in this remote place of mine?"

there is always a solution to a problem.

In front of Bai Qiuyi, Song Chaixin thought to himself that he could not compete with her at the moment.

So, I calmly sat down at the table and sat opposite him.

He is a seventh-rank official in the government. Logically speaking, when he encounters the remnants of the Divine Blood Cult, he has the unshirkable obligation to arrest them.

But the blacksmith must be strong himself, and even if the sky falls, it takes tall people to hold it up.

It was obvious that no one in Black Mountain City could control Master Bai Qiuyi and his apprentice.

Song Chaixin has something to say.

Your state's Demon Hunting Bureau and Minghuang State's Divine Capital cannot destroy the Divine Blood Sect. Bai Qiuyi is clearly on the wanted list, but you can still make a big fuss and let him jump in front of you.

What can a seventh-rank guard like me do?

There is so much food to eat and so much work to do, we really can’t handle it.

"Haha, a mountain is not famous for its height, but for the immortals living there; a river is not famous for its depth, but for the dragons living there. I am here because of someone, don't you understand, Lord Guardian?"

"Besides, it is impossible for Lord Peizhou and General Ye Cang to hunt me down personally. If they don't take action, what difference will this wanted notice make to me useless?"

"When I was the Lord of Wutong Mansion, there were many wanted criminals at the Great Xiantian Realm and even Yuandan Realm on the wanted list of the mansion. After all these years, I haven't caught them all."

Although he was no longer wearing the fifth-grade deep scarlet robe he once wore, Bai Qiuyi still had a kind of "divine will" that unconsciously influenced the spirits of those around him.

Even though he didn't put on airs, his words, even in a low voice, could not be ignored by others, as if he, Bai Qiuyi, was the center of attention.

It is said that every martial artist at the peak of Yuan Dan has a martial arts will that is so brilliant that it can influence reality and turn into a "magnetic field". Within the field, he is the master.

Unless this barrier is broken, no matter how talented a warrior is, he will be weakened by three points in momentum.

"You shocked Pei Nanbei and Ye Cang. I guessed that you inherited the mantle of one of the seven titled princes of Da Zhao. Otherwise, they wouldn't have come all the way to Wutong Mansion for no reason."

“But I didn’t expect it.”

"What you alarmed was actually the statue of the 'Great Demon Lord.'" Bai Qiuyi's eyes were deep, as if he was exploring something on the person in front of him.

But Song Chaixin looked calm and composed:
"Then you should also know, sir, that I gained nothing from that person because of my half-demon bloodline."

"Regarding this point, Lord Peizhou and General Ye Cang probably see it more clearly than anyone else. If I had obtained even a little bit of inheritance, would they not take me away and allow me to come to Black Mountain City to guard it?"

The trace of demon-hunting Taoist energy in his body and his current demon-hunting spiritual body were so deep that even Ye Cang was unable to detect any signs of it.

Pei Nanbei was able to make judgments based on clues because he had followed the 'Great Demon Lord' for a period of time.

But why should the old man in front of me take this?
Song Chaixin didn't believe that Bai Qiuyi could see through things more clearly than Ye Cang.

"Haha, just pretend that you haven't figured out anything. Why are you so nervous?"

"Let's talk about the past. But I'm your master. How could I lie to you?" Bai Qiuyi couldn't help laughing and stopped dwelling on the matter.

But looking at Jiang Yi, who was dressed in white and had lost his aggressive look and was becoming more reserved, Song Chai Xin said in a roundabout way:
"Mr. Bai, how long have you been luring this 'young lord' from Shenjing onto your pirate ship?"

"Now, you're still saying this in front of me. Aren't you a little self-deceiving?"

Jiang Yi's face turned dark and he almost couldn't hold it in.

Bai Qiuyi was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands and laughed:
"Jiang's ancestors were once rich, but now they have fallen on hard times. If I were to run away, he wouldn't. If he stayed in Wutong Mansion, I'm afraid his martial arts exam would be banned. This old man is doing this for his own good."

"You are so cunning. I offered you an olive branch. You are the Lord of a prefecture, what a position. You haven't made any fortune yet, so how could you think of rejecting me?"

The old man was a little curious.

"My intuition is that when I first saw you, I felt that you were like a thousand-year-old fox."

Song Chaixin answered seriously.

"Hahahaha, a thousand-year-old fox. How can you be that old? When the Great Zhao was in turmoil, I was born not long ago. I haven't even witnessed the most glorious era before it ended. How can I compare to those chess players?"

"Song boy, I won't hide it anymore."

"In Shenjing, because you touched upon the matter of the 'Great Demon Hunting Lord', some people have harbored ulterior motives towards you, but they were forcibly suppressed by the two people from Aquarius State."

"But half-demon is always a scourge, just like you said I was a remnant of the 'Divine Blood Cult'. I was born as the direct descendant of the 'Xuanlong Bai Clan' and was destined to be hunted down by Dazhao. I have a choice, but has anyone asked me?"

“Same principle.”

"Don't think that once you enter the government system and have someone to guarantee you, everything will go smoothly. It's impossible."

Bai Qiuyi stood up and handed a jade talisman with the word "Bai" engraved on it to the red-clothed guard in front of him.

"Actually, I didn't necessarily want to accept you as my apprentice today. Whether you believe it or not, I warned Jiang Yi before he left with me."

"I can only say that one is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. For some things, the outcome is already determined when a choice is made and it is difficult to change."

"This jade talisman for sending messages is useless."

"only"

"If one day you are unfortunate enough to find yourself in the situation I described, just send me a message and I will rush over to take you away."

"Have you seen Jiang Yi's cultivation?"

Bai Qiu pointed at Jiang Yi beside him and handed the communication jade talisman to Song Chaixin.

At the same time, Song Chaixin looked up in response.

It turns out that the third place in the provincial examination, who had originally not yet stepped into the great innate threshold, has now surpassed the previous one.

Not only did the Vajra Body condense, but even the Huangting Qi became thick, and the Qi and blood in the body were like surging rivers and seas, as deep and unfathomable as a dragon going out to sea.

In such a short period of time, there has been tremendous progress!
"What kind of drugs did you take to make such rapid progress, Brother Jiang." Song Chaixin smiled.

"It's just that my blood has turned into the same as yours, Brother Song. It's just an acquired transformation. It's no big deal." After outsiders were sent away from the room, Jiang Yi did not hide it and admitted it openly.

The Xuanlong Bai family was the "divine blood nobles" in Dazhao several decades ago.

His ancestors had a king body born, and they took the fourth step through the Dragon Court of Jinghe River and the blood essence of the demon king who embarked on the road of "leaping over the dragon gate" and integrated it into themselves.

Thus, the demon's 'companion magical power' was born.

However, supernatural powers and magical abilities are innate gifts that only those with "saint, king, mysterious, and spiritual" physiques possess.

For example, after Song Chaixin cast the Demon-Catching Spirit, he understood a technique of 'capturing' in his mind.

Although I haven't had time to comprehend the mystery of it, it seems like I was born with it and can use it at will.

These magical powers will be gradually improved as the strength of the original owner increases. Those in the Great Innate Realm will have famous methods, and those who enter the Yuandan realm will be comparable to the authentic ones!

Why is it that people with qualifications can go further on the path of martial arts?

Because it’s not just about qualifications!
These people are born to take shortcuts.

Yuan Dan fought in the same realm, and one of them only had Wu Gu and had gone through all kinds of hardships to get to where he is today;
The other person has spiritual-level qualifications and has one more "authentic magical power" that he can use with ease than you.

The two sides were originally fighting evenly matched, with the former even having the upper hand. However, as their skills and martial arts were displayed, the qualified person used a magical power that was comparable to the authentic method to directly suppress the other person.

Where does this make sense?

And this is where the fear and terror of these 'nobles of divine blood' lies.

Once the bloodline of the king's body is inherited, it must not be leaked out.

After this kind of careful training, each generation is bound to be above the "Spiritual Level".

The disadvantage is that the bloodline is thin and it is difficult to raise offspring.

Although it can be transformed after birth, it also requires a direct descendant to personally "bestow" it, and it also consumes a lot of precious materials.

In the past few decades, when the nobles of divine blood were still high and mighty, that's how those branches came into being.

For example, Jiang Yi right now.

More than just transformation?
It's like a complete transformation!
"You are originally half-demon, and your blood is highly compatible with my Xuanlong Bai family's."

"If it is transformed, the Xuan level is certain. Even if we trace back to the source, the birth of the king body may not be impossible." Bai Qiuyi's words were full of temptation.

But Song Chaixin was unmoved: "Thank you for your kindness, sir."

The implication is that it is not necessary.

In response, Bai Qiuyi smiled and didn't say much. He wanted to see the guest off, but at this time, Song Chaixin stared at Jiang Yi and suddenly spoke again:

"Mr. Bai, I have something to say to Brother Jiang."

"Can you please step aside for a moment?"

Bai Qiuyi was a little surprised to hear this.

He originally thought that the town commander would symbolically expel him as a 'wanted criminal', but unexpectedly, he did not even mention it.

But even if he didn't mention it, I wouldn't stay long.

Besides, Jiang Yi had already followed him down the same path until the end, and there was no way back, so Bai Qiuyi was not worried at all, he just smiled and walked out:
“It’s a good thing for young people to communicate more with their peers.”

“Such a great opportunity.”

“Maybe in a few months, there won’t be much.”

He hinted at something, turned around and walked away.

The two of them were left face to face, Jiang Yi looked helpless and spoke first:
"Song Chaixin, is there anything you want to tell me?"

"There is no friendship between us."

Jiang Yi sighed.

"Didn't you want to repeat the glory of your ancestors and inherit the title of Divine Capital? Now you have become a sinner, even more hated by everyone than a half-demon like me. And you still want to return to High Heaven Pavilion and bring honor to your family?"

Song Chaixin's tone was inexplicable.

"You know something."

"I am in the capital, my family has fallen into poverty, and I have to live under someone else's roof. I have almost become a son-in-law, and I have to depend on others for my life all day long."

“Perhaps with the help of the foster home, he has developed some martial arts skills and is considered outstanding in Wutong Mansion.”

"Can"

"Shenjing is a land of outstanding people and the best of Minghuangzhou. Every time the palace exam comes, there are endless Xuan-level and Ling-level talents. People like me are insignificant."

"You have no idea how humiliated I was because of living under someone else's roof. From that time on, I swore that I would make a name for myself. Those who look down on me, just wait and see!" Jiang Yi's anger grew when he talked about the past, and he couldn't help but punched a man in the face.

"I can't compete with you, nor can I compete with Xu Zuorong. Returning to Shenjing will be the same. At this time, Master Bai gave me another way, another opportunity to climb higher with the 'martial arts'."

"From this moment on, I swore secretly."

"If I can't get back the title offered by Lingxiao Pavilion, then I won't take it. I, Jiang Yi, will fight for my own 'merit', even if it goes against the Dazhao government!"

"I have no choice, Song Chaixin."

"Just like you had no choice in the beginning." Jiang Yi stared at Song Chaixin with a serious look, emitting the flame of ambition.

The two are similar in a sense.

But Song Chaixin felt that he did much better than Jiang Yi.

At the very least.
He has come to where he is today because of his own choices and his own desires.

And he was carried forward by the tide of the times.

"Then do you remember a girl named Lu Miaomiao, who was in her twenties and about the same age as you?" He listened silently to what Jiang Yi said.

Song Chaixin suddenly said.

"Who?"

Jiang Yi had something to say, and after he finished speaking, he didn't think about chatting more with Song Chaixin in front of him.

Because in a sense, for Bai Qiuyi, he is a substitute for Song Chaixin.

Now that he has met the real boss, who has repeatedly asked him to think about his cheap teacher, it would be strange for him to have a good face.

But when he heard this name, Jiang Yi, who was about to walk out, suddenly stopped.

He thought of Shenjing and Lu Mansion.

The woman who had entered into an engagement with him and made him be ridiculed as a "son-in-law", but he never hated her from beginning to end, and at the same time felt guilty about her.

Jiang Yi traveled thousands of miles to Wutong Mansion just because he made an appointment with that woman.

If he could become the champion, he would definitely climb over eight hundred steps, step into the Martial Temple, and inherit the legacy of his ancestors with her in front of a hundred statues, making a stunning debut!
But unfortunately, I broke my promise.

Jiang Yi smiled bitterly.

How could a man like him have such a marriage with the eldest daughter of Marquis Lu's mansion if it weren't for the marriage contract that was arranged before he was born?
Moreover, during these years, he was able to cultivate martial arts, mostly because of Lu Miaomiao's overt and covert help. There was nothing wrong with calling him a "son-in-law and a gigolo".

Now, he couldn't go back to the capital to face it. He thought that from now on, he would just go back to his old ways, but...
"How did you know this name?" Jiang Yi turned his head, staring at Song Chaixin in front of him with his sword-like eyebrows, his eyes mixed with vigilance.

I heard this guy has good luck with women.

Can he
It's impossible. Lu Miaomiao is far away in Minghuangzhou, Shenjing. It's totally out of touch with her. How could she possibly be interested in him?
"In the Martial Temple, in front of the Saint Monument, she saw my origins and asked me to tell you something."

Song Chaixin said seriously, word by word:
"She said she had been waiting for you."

"If things can't be done, the worst that can happen is that we go back. The resources of the Lu Mansion are enough to revive the Jiang family."

Jiang Yi was stunned.

Suddenly, his mind recalled the good old days, and the time in the capital, when Lu Miaomiao saw him returning home with a bruised face and a swollen nose, and said nothing.
Without saying a word, the girl, holding a knife, went to the homes of several rich men to vent her anger for them.

But that was almost ten years ago.

"Thank you very much."

The original unhappiness towards Song Chaixin quickly faded away.

Instead,

Jiang Yi was somewhat silent and walked out of Shaoyang Martial Arts Hall on his own.

"Remember to tell Mr. Bai to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, if a demon hunter from some prefecture suddenly comes, I won't care about it."

Song Chaixin shouted loudly.

Nobody cares.

And the outside world,
Inside and outside Heishan City, soldiers and police officers rode their horses through the streets, carrying the corpses of the demons. The news that the demons had been eradicated from all over the mountains and plains spread throughout the streets and alleys.

This shocked countless people in the outer city. They lined the streets to watch, unable to believe that this was true.

But what is true is true and cannot be false.

So much so.
But I hadn't been in office for half a month.

The new garrison commander, named Song Chai Xin, had a prestige and popularity that surpassed all the previous seventh-rank commanders in the past few decades.

Clear the mountains and fields, cut down trees and destroy temples!
At the age of seventeen, I was full of vigor and vitality.

It was considered rare in ancient times.

When I went out, I saw the hustle and bustle outside Yanwu Street. From a distance, I could hear the shouting of the Black Mountain people in the streets and alleys.

There was no lack of respect in his words for the new garrison commander, which made Jiang Yi speechless.

have to say,

Song Chaixin lived the life he wanted to be.

instinctive,
Jiang Yi doesn't want to see it.
What Bai Qiuyi said to him came true.

Heishan City, Yanwu Street.

"Oh, it's so lively."

Bai Qiuyi walked out of Shaoyang Martial Arts Hall with his hands behind his back, smiling.

He looked back at the martial arts hall, and remembered the tiny mark he had noticed on Song Chaixin's body. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly: "It was planted by Pei Nanbei."

"interesting."

"But it doesn't matter,"

"This child is destined to go the same way as us. This has been destined since we investigated his experience."

Bai Qiuyi was like an elegant and easy-going elder, muttering to himself, calculating, and looking around at the hustle and bustle.

So many years have passed since the character was established during the time of Wutong Fu Zun.

It is normal that you cannot change it in a short period of time due to the subtle influence.

"Hey, young man, where do all the adults in Yunluan Mountain stay?"

As if unintentionally, Bai Qiuyi asked a martial artist from a martial arts school on Yanwu Street.

Soon, he received a response and arrived at a magnificent "dojo".

It is unknown which unfortunate martial arts school this place was formerly. Its inheritance was cut short and the land was taken away by Song Chaixin, who then allocated it to Yunluan Mountain.

At this time, Cui Chan just returned. After a fierce battle in "Dingding Heishan", he looked normal on the surface, but he was actually hurt inside and didn't want to lose face.

Fortunately, there were the innate-level medicinal herbs sent by Song Chaixin. He found a quiet room and directly took a piece of "Bi Xue Long Jiao Cao" to regulate his breathing and nourish his energy.

Not long after, Cui Chan's Vajra body had almost recovered.

At this time, he heard someone coming to visit, and he became curious, thinking it was another "authentic" fellow from this street, and was about to go out to greet him.
But unexpectedly, he was just an old man who looked somewhat 'kind and amiable'.

Cui Chan was puzzled: "Sir, where are you from?"

He couldn't see through the depth of the person in front of him.

This kind of feeling only arises when facing the elders on the mountain, so Cui Chan is instinctively cautious.

After welcoming Bai Qiuyi into a room.

Before Cui Chan could even open his mouth, his expression suddenly changed: "You"

It turned out that in his eyes, the harmless old man,

At the moment when the left foot steps in.

The back figure suddenly became towering, as if it had become the center of the entire gym. The surrounding area spread out, making him break out in cold sweat and unable to move.

For a moment, Cui Chan's heart was shaken, and he was about to use all his strength to draw his sword.

"Shh, don't be nervous, kid."

"Old man, I just came to make a deal with you."

Bai Qiuyi smiled, causing Cui Chan's face to tense up and his eyes to turn cold:

"What deal?"

"I have never met you before, so let's just forget it."

Bai Qiuyi smiled:
"Your Excellency would be interested,"

"Aren't your parents both under the jurisdiction of Wutong Mansion?"

As the lord of Wutong Mansion for more than ten years, Bai Qiuyi said this before leaving.

He buried both obvious and hidden pieces in this piece of land.

Know it better than anyone else.

"My parents are from Wutong City, and their martial arts attainments are not low. Even if they are at the third step, it is impossible for them to kidnap someone without making any noise. Please stop scaring people."

Cui Chan sneered.

结果
The next moment, his eyes widened.

He watched the old man in front of him take out a 'Fu Zun Ling' and his father's personal sword.

This sword was given to him personally when he came down the mountain last time.

"who are you?!"

Cui Chan's blood rushed back to his head, his eyes turned red, and he wanted to fight for his life.

But Bai Qiuyi only raised a finger, his eyes bright and without any killing intent:
"Don't worry, if you help me do one thing, nothing will happen."

"In this life, I will keep my promises and actions. I can stake my entire life on this and swear an oath. If I break it, I will never make any progress in this life."

"Of course, you can choose not to believe it, because you have no choice."

Bai Qiuyi had his hands behind his back, his calm eyes showing indifference.

For a time,

There was a long silence in the room.

Bai Qiuyi and Jiang Yi did not stay.

Almost immediately after Song Chaixin left,

The master and his disciple hurriedly left Black Mountain, as if they were afraid of being caught by someone.

This caused Song Chaixin's original plan to tip off the person, which was then to be informed, to be slightly delayed.

If possible, he still doesn't want to cause trouble.

this day,
He was in high spirits, full of ambition, but also exhausted.

He was just about to go back to have a good sleep, check on his gains when he woke up, and at the same time comprehend the magical powers that the 'Demon-Hunting Spirit Body' had brought him after its transformation.

But don't want to,
Then he lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.

It's as if.
I had a strange dream.

(ps: Regarding the updates in the past two days, the author had to undergo a minor surgery and something unexpected happened, so I won’t go into details here. I was a little anxious every day, and I only updated in the early morning when I got back at night.)
(It should be done around the 13th, right?)

(What I posted before were all my saved drafts. I wrote 6,000 words today, and will write 5,000 to 6,000 words every day from now on. Anyway, I can’t stop updating. In a few days, I will continue to write 10,000 words a day, and that’s it.)
(Also, the reality volume will be opened tomorrow. When the protagonist's cultivation advances by leaps and bounds and the relationship line from decades ago is connected, the identity in the first volume will completely overlap with the reality, and the climax line will begin. Thank you for your follow-up reading, the author will continue to work hard!)
