Remould the Glory of Sword Art-Chapter 1228 - 144: The Final Act of Li (5)_2

But now... they have become the most steadfast allies in the world.

Once again agreeing with the previous truth.

Fate, at times, is just this wondrous.

"Are you returning to Chu Country?"

A moment later, Chen Chong actively transmitted a message through Divine Soul.

He sat on horseback, and compared to Han Li’s cavalry, his team appeared much more solitary and thin...

He exited the city alone.

Han Li brought along his two most capable subordinates, but he did not bring Du Yunzhong.

"Yes."

Xie Xuanyi said calmly, "There are still a few tough battles at the Northern Border Great Wall."

The Tribulation Lord has perished and dissipated.

Xuanbei Pass should experience a short period of peace, but would the Demon Country on that side relent... Those Great Venerables of the Demon Country will surely hold me accountable for this debt.

"Don’t die."

Chen Chong was silent for a long time, seemingly in contemplation, but eventually just coldly transmitted a rather unfriendly message: "You and I still have not settled our accounts."

Xie Xuanyi had saved him twice.

Once outside Xuanbei Pass, and once in Qian State.

These two debts...

He had yet to have the chance to repay them.

"Those debts, there’s nothing worth settling."

Xie Xuanyi shook his head and said calmly, "I know you’ve always been brooding over ’Meng Kejian’s’ blood debt. The next time we meet, you can act as you see fit..."

"..."

Chen Chong’s expression became complicated.

Ah Jian’s life debt...

Does he really still have the opportunity to repay it?

He is a proud and even somewhat arrogant person.

If there really is a day to repay the blood debt, then Chen Chong will certainly first repay the two karmic debts he owes... and then use the pretext of repayment to claim his life.

With Xie Xuanyi’s current cultivation, able to single-handedly kill the Tribulation Lord, in a few days’ time, when condensing Dao to enter the Yang God Realm, let alone collecting debts, even repaying them is an issue.

"So, you must also stay alive."

Xie Xuanyi smiled subtly and transmitted, "At the battle in Wu State, be wary of Nalan Xuance."

Given Chen Chong’s character.

For this decisive battle at Phoenix Seal City, the Yuanzhou Iron Cavalry will surely be present.

He himself will certainly be there in person—

"Me?"

A glint of coldness flashed in Chen Chong’s eyes.

He also smiled, "I naturally will live well. Until... we meet again."

He always felt that farewells were meaningless.

Only.

Someone like Xie Xuanyi is indeed worth seeing off in person.

Perhaps it’s because of mutual respect, or perhaps it’s because of the two favors owed.

Chen Chong originally had some words prepared to send Xie Xuanyi off with.

But after thinking carefully... though they fought side by side twice, they remain enemies.

Since parting is meaningless.

Then farewell words are even more meaningless.

Reflecting upon this.

After simple transmission of two messages, Chen Chong rode away, disappearing into the wind and sand.

...

...

After Chen Chong left.

Han Li, with his two subordinates, arrived atop the hill.

"This... is the legendary Da Sui Sword Immortal, the only person in a thousand years to break through the Heavenly Barrier of the Ten Heroes with a Yin God Realm cultivation?"

Jian Qingqiu sighed, speaking with admiration in his eyes.

These years.

Xie Xuanyi has already become a "legend" while still alive.

Though he has not yet condensed Dao.

In many people’s eyes, he has become an indelible soul of this era; meeting him even once is a great honor.

"That night, was it you who acted... to save Bliss Arhat?"

Yun Ruohai looked seriously at Xie Xuanyi and sighed, "With just a single sword... you broke the Water Dao Domain, how exactly did you achieve that?"

That night’s Sword Qi, so fast, so sharp.

No Taoist Intent, no Primordial Energy.

Merely using a strand of plain and simple Sword Qi... directly shattered his Dao Domain.

This was sheer suppression of realm.

"Yes."

After removing the [All Living Beings] form.

Xie Xuanyi indeed appeared with a Heavenly Human Appearance.

The wind and sand recoiled, long hair like ink pouring down, skin like white jade without appearing effeminate.

Xie Xuanyi already understood the full layout of Mi Yun, he smiled and said warmly, "Young Master Yun’s Dao Domain is actually very solid. It’s just that all things are interdependent, and my Sword Qi... happens to restrain the ’Water Dao Domain’..."

Fude wasn’t skilled in prolonged combat and couldn’t escape.

But his Flying Sword was best at breaking formations, breaking locks, and breaking realms.

This is the mutual restraint that exists between Great Daos.

Just as the "Fighting Path" of the Saint Prince restrains the "Path of Destruction"...

Even though Yun Ruohai condensed his Dao, using the perfected Water Path to create a prison, he still couldn’t trap my Flying Sword.

"Is that so?"

Yun Ruohai shook his head with a bitter smile; he could tell Xie Xuanyi was comforting him.

Though both are in the Yin God Realm.

Their disparity is even greater than that between Yin God and Grotto Heaven.

"Little Xie Mountain Lord."

Han Li gave a formal salute and said solemnly, "Thank you for taking action this time... saving all the lives at Xuanbei Pass. I, Han, have come specifically to express my gratitude."

Great victory at Xuanbei Pass.

He hadn’t even gotten a chance to meet Xie Xuanyi.

An hour ago, he had just beheaded the Marquis Bei’an and hung his head over the city gate.

Though Chong State was already under control, it would take some time to pacify the various regions.

Han Li should have been busy with the suppression of the chaos.

But upon learning of Mi Yun’s message, he rushed back to Xuanbei Pass just for this farewell.

If not for Xie Xuanyi.

Hundreds of thousands of civilians at Xuanbei Pass would have become homeless.

Millions of Chong State citizens would have ended up in the bellies of Great Demons.

"General Han, no need for formalities."

Xie Xuanyi quickly extended both hands to support him, sighing helplessly.

In truth, he disliked these kinds of occasions the most.

His intervention at Xuanbei Pass to save people wasn’t for gratitude; if he had a choice, he’d rather leave after the matter, concealing his achievements and fame, enjoying a carefree and leisurely life.

"Over the years, although I have been guarding Chong State, I’ve seen many significant figures."

Han Li raised his head, eyes sharp.

He said slowly, "...Fangyuan Square has a figure of great strength, who achieved ’Great Perfection Realm’ many years ago. Does Little Xie Mountain Lord know who I’m talking about?"

"I do."

Xie Xuanyi nodded, referring to the Fire Master.

"Many years ago, I, Han, met with that great figure for a brief chat."

Han Li paused, then said earnestly, "If we do not intervene, then the internal power struggle within Li Kingdom, in the end... may lead to an extremely bad situation. Fangyuan Square will split into two, and at that time, not only will Li Kingdom be broken, but the illusion of peace will shatter, and chaos will ensue across the land."

Fangyuan Square is a symbol of Chu Li’s peace.

If Fangyuan Square is divided.

Then Chu Li’s peace will also be divided.

It is very clear...

This was during the previous decade, when the Holy Empress was in power, and Chen Jingxuan was desperately maintaining stability.

Fangyuan Square did not break apart.

"Fortunately. The worst did not come to pass."

Han Li said with a smile, "If possible, I hope Chu Li remains eternally peaceful... if the decisive battle in Wu State concludes smoothly, I hope to visit Chu Country and see the sights of Jiangning."

He truly did not want to become enemies with someone like Xie Xuanyi.

Having witnessed the combat prowess of this Yin God Great Sword Immortal firsthand.

This is a Sword Cultivator capable of crossing realms to kill a Tribulation Lord.

Once he condenses his Dao, who in Li Kingdom could be his match?

Chen Chong...

Is not even worth mentioning.

"If the decisive battle in Wu State concludes smoothly, I, Xie, will sweep the mats in Jiangning to welcome you."

Xie Xuanyi responded with a smile, expressing his welcome.

After a moment, he bid farewell to each one.

The wind and sand still howled.

The Iron Cavalry departed.

Xie Xuanyi softly exhaled a breath.

"Benefactor, please forgive me."

Mi Yun said with a hint of apology, "Han Li has always wanted to meet you, so I took the liberty of sending the message."

"This meeting was necessary."

Xie Xuanyi smiled and comforted, "It’s a good thing that General Han can be of use to the Buddhist faith."

It must be said.

The cause and effect in the Main World indeed differs greatly from that in the Petal World.

In his Divine Travel, the end he foresaw...

Han Li was basically bound closely with the Crown Prince.

No matter what, he would absolutely never bow down, let alone be persuaded to surrender!

This is a character more "stubborn" than Chen Chong!

"Benefactor..."

Mi Yun said earnestly, "I have one more impertinent request; there is a master uncle who wishes to meet you."

"Master Uncle?"

Xie Xuanyi was taken aback, "Which Master Uncle?"

Though Mi Yun was young, having inherited the Tanluan Buddha Bones, he was also the contemporary Buddha’s son.

There was only one person in Fan Yin Temple he could think of qualified to be called a master uncle of Mi Yun’s stature, and that was Miao Zhen.

Even if there were other master uncles.

They would likely be peers of Miao Zhen, right?

"Master Uncle... resides in the Red Pearl Cicada Country."

Mi Yun put his hands together, speaking seriously, word by word, "Hence granted the name... Chi Chanzi."
