The Venerable Swordsman

Chapter 182 Surprised?



Chapter 182 Surprised?

Dayun Empire.

The Dayun Empire covered almost one-third of Qing Continent’s area. In Qing Continent, it’s a well-deserved super hegemon. At its prime, its imperial power overtook all the forces in Qing Continent. Even forces like Cangmu College and the Dark World must bow down to them.

However, there was an old saying that everything would fall from its prime.

This super-overlord of the Qing Continent began to decline after reaching its peak. After several useless emperors squandered too much, this hegemon almost split apart. Just as the Dayun Empire was about to fall apart, the Kaoshan King appeared.

Lian Wanli!

Thanks to the hard effort of this Kaoshan King, the ancient empire was saved.

Although it’s still not as strong as its peak, no one could look down on Dayun Empire in this Qing Continent.

Taihe Temple, the Imperial Palace of Dayun Empire.

There were only two people in the temple. There was an eleven-year-old boy sitting on a dragon chair. He was wearing a dragon robe and a crown. The little boy sat very straight and looked serious.

A woman was standing below. She wore a black tight dress which was painted with a vivid colorful phoenix. The phoenix spreads its wings and raised its head high. Its eyes were indifferent and full of nobleness.

The little boy looked at the woman. “Sister...”

Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something and quickly changed his speech. “Officer Lian, Jiang Country is very far away from my Dayun Empire and has no conflict of interest with the Dayun Empire. Why should we treat them as enemies? This does not meet the interests of my Dayun Empire.”

The woman walked to the little boy. She pointed to the map in front of the little boy. “On this map, what do you think is the biggest threat to my Dayun Empire?”

The little boy thought about it and said, “Jiang Country?”

The woman shook her head. “No.”

The little boy looked at the woman. “Who then?”

The woman chuckled. “Cangmu College, the Dark World, and the ancient families in the country!”

The little boy frowned slightly. “So why do you want to attack Jiang Country?”

The woman looked at the little boy and did not speak.

The little boy pondered for a long time. Finally, he seemed to think of something and suddenly looked up at the woman. “You want to borrow Jiang Country. No, you are going to use the hand of Ye Xuan to weaken them!”

Upon hearing this, the woman’s eyes suddenly showed a hint of relief.

The little boy said in a deep voice, “But my Dayun Empire has lost over a hundred Dark Flame Horsemen.”

The woman sat next to the little boy. The little boy quickly moved sideways to give her some space when the woman took his hand. “Now, the Dark Flame Army is not the royal family’s loyal cavalry anymore. They have been contaminated by Cangmu College, the Dark World, and many big families. They are not truly loyal to the Royal Family of Dayun Empire. Therefore, we have not lost anything. Instead, an unstable factor has been removed.”

The little boy looked at the woman sideways. “But if things go like this, my Dayun Empire will also suffer a lot.”

The woman shook her head. “These families, sects, and forces, including Cangmu College, they seem to support my Dayun Empire. But in fact, they are eroding my Dayun Empire. They not only have infiltrated into the office but also the army and even the Royal family. If it goes on like this, in ten years, my Dayun Empire will be swallowed up by them.”

Speaking of this, she reached out her left hand. “These forces are malignant tumors growing on our hands. They are connected with our bones and blood. We will naturally hurt if we cut them. But if we don’t cut them, we may not be painful in the future. We are likely to die.”

The little boy was silent for a long time. Finally, he picked up a memorial in front of him. There were two big words on the cover: Ye Xuan.

The little boy opened the memorial, which recorded everything about Ye Xuan. From Qing City to present, there were so many detailed records.

After a while, the little boy sighed and said, “Ye Xuan is actually willing to die with Jiang Country. Alas, how good it would be if we also have such a talent!”

Then, he turned his head and looked at the woman next to him. “Sister, how do you think of this person?”

The woman glanced at the memorial and smiled. “How do you think?”

The little boy thought about it and said, “I want to know what you think!”

The woman did not speak but took the little boy’s hand and walked out of the hall. Looking at the distant sky, the woman smiled slightly. “If he is a friend, this person can be trusted and is worth entrusting; if he is an enemy, he should be killed at all costs.”

The little boy looked up at the woman. “Sister, do you want him to be a friend or foe?”

The woman gently stroked the little boy’s small head. “You are the emperor of my Dayun Empire. It’s your call!”

The little boy thought about it and said, “Friend.”

The woman smiled and asked, “Why?”

The little boy said in a deep voice, “My Dayun Empire does not hold a deep grudge against him, and there’s no conflict of interest. Making him an enemy is not of my country’s interest. Making him as a friend, we may have a trusted friend, and it benefits us!”

The woman looked at the little boy, and there was a hint of relief in her eyes. She turned her head and looked over. “Send the order. Assemble the major families and go to the far south to kill Ye Xuan.”

“Yes!”

In the dark, someone answered.

“Sister?” The little boy looked at the woman in shock.

The woman smiled slightly. “We are helping him.”

While saying so, she looked up at the sky and stroked the hair on her ear with her slender hand. “Some people are going to be unlucky!”

...

As night fell, countless people suddenly left the Imperial Capital. They all went to the same place—the far south of Qing Continent.

And their goal was Ye Xuan.

Cangmu College, the Dark World, and Dayun Empire joined hands, so these families naturally dared not refuse. Whoever refused might not be able to survive in Dayun Realm. These three forces were basically the strongest forces in the entire Qing Continent.

In the wilderness of the far south, a row of sword radiance was still hanging in the air. It has not been scattered for a long time.

Somewhere in the dark, Mu Qingxuan and the Dark Lord stood side by side. The gaze of their eyes fell just below the sword radiance.

Next to Mu Qingxuan, the Dark Lord suddenly said, “Do you have confidence this time?”

Mu Qingxuan said lightly, “The Spirit-sealing Formation underground can seal his Occult Qi so that he cannot use the sword. Although his body is strong enough, without the sword, his strength would be reduced by at least 50%. At that time, it would not be difficult to kill him. Of course, even if the killers fail, it’s fine. The sword will give him a big ‘surprise’.”

Speaking of this, he looked at the Dark Lord. “Where is he now?”

The Dark Lord said, “My people have already regained his trace. He’s not far from here and will arrive soon.”

Mu Qingxuan nodded and clenched his hands tightly as coldness flashed through his eyes. “Let the people under the ground ready. Once he enters the formation, activate the formation immediately. Don’t give him any chance.”

The Dark Lord suddenly said, “There’s something I don’t understand. Why does Lian Wanli support us so much this time? You know that there is no grudge between the Dayun Empire and that Ye Xuan. Does she really want to conquer the Qing Continent?”

Miao Qingxuan sneered. “This person has great ambitions. It’s normal to have this idea.”

The Dark Lord nodded slightly. “If she wants to conquer the Qing Continent, it is extremely hard to achieve that without the support from Cangmu College.”

Cangmu College had branches all over the Qing Continent’s countries. If the Dayun Empire had the support of Cangmu College, it would be much easier to conquer the Qing Continent. Cangmu College had huge influence in these countries!

Under the ground.

Hundreds of people were gathered here at this moment. The weakest people among them were at Secluding Realm.

Elites!

They were the elites of Cangmu College and the Dark World. Twenty of them were from the Central Divine Continent. They were all at peak God-allied Realm.

Of course, this time, the real hidden card was the big formation under the ground.

Suppress by force!

As long as Ye Xuan went under the ground, the big formation would be activated. Ye Xuan would be suppressed in an instant and could not use Occult Qi or other secret skills. At that time, they would attack together, and Ye Xuan would definitely die.

In order to set up this formation, Cangmu College and the Dark World had spent at least 500 million gold coins and tens of millions of Supreme Spiritual Stones.

And the Heaven Class sword was borrowed from the Central Divine Continent...

This time, they spent a huge amount of money.

They did all these just to kill Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan was growing so quickly, and so was Canglan College. This time, they did not just have scruples but fear!

If things went on like this, Ye Xuan and Canglan College would really change the situation of Qing Continent and even threaten their dominant status. Moreover, it had already been a dead end for them and Ye Xuan. There was no possibility of reconciliation.

The Dark World and Cangmu College had no way back.

Time passed by slowly.

About two hours later, a man in black with a sword box on the back stepped into the wilderness. The man lowered his head and wore a black mask. His face could not be seen. And the direction he walked was exactly where the sword radiance was.

Seeing this man, Mu Qingxuan, who was in the dark, suddenly narrowed his eyes. “He is coming!”

The Dark Lord nodded slightly and quietly retreated.

Under the ground, more than one hundred people were ready to attack.

These people also looked very serious. Because they were going to deal with the youngest Sword Lord in the Qing Continent this time!

Moreover, Ye Xuan had the Twelve Gold Men! But fortunately, they had already prepared for that.

As long as Ye Xuan came down, he would definitely die.

On the ground, the black-clothed man was getting closer and closer to the sword radiance. When he was about to enter the big formation, he suddenly stopped.

Mu Qingxuan was stunned. Why did that man stop?

The black-clothed man sat cross-legged on the ground and began to meditate.

Mu Qingxuan frowned slightly. “What the hell?”

Time passed by slowly, and the black-clothed man did not have a sign of moving.

After two hours later, the Dark Lord suddenly appeared next to Mu Qingxuan and said in a deep voice, “Something’s wrong!”

Mu Qingxuan stared at the black-clothed man below. “Send someone to take a look!”

The Dark Lord nodded. At this moment, the black-clothed man suddenly took off the mask. Upon seeing the black-clothed man’s face, Mu Qingxuan and the Dark Lord suddenly looked gloomy.

The man in black was not Ye Xuan but Mo Yunqi!

Mo Yunqi looked up to somewhere in the sky and grinned. “Surprised? Unexpected?”

Mu Qingxuan looked terrible to the extreme!

At this time, the space in front of him shook slightly. The next moment, his face changed greatly. He thundered, “Withdraw the formation immediately! Everyone, rush back to Cangmu College now!”

After that, he and the Dark Lord disappeared directly. They were very fast and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.

The mountain foot of Cangmu College, Dayun Realm.

A black-robed man with a sword box on the back was confronting a group of Cangmu College’s students!

The black-robed man did not attack, and those students were even more afraid to attack. Because the person in front of them was Ye Xuan!

Mu Qingxuan and the Dark Lord were extremely fast. It took them less than half an hour to rush back to Cangmu College.

Seeing that Cangmu College was safe and sound, Mu Qingxuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He and the Dark Lord landed in front of the black-robed man. He stared at the black-robed man and said, “Ye Xuan, you ...”

At this moment, the black-robed man suddenly untied the robe and revealed his true face.

Upon seeing the true face of the black-robed man, Mu Qingxuan’s face suddenly turned pale as if he was struck by countless thunderbolts.
