Outside Sword Prison.
Yan Qi Ling stood with his hands clasped behind his back. He looked at the moving hill from time to time. When he was bored to death, he smiled and asked Qi Hongyi who was not far away, "Sister Hongyi, what are you doing here?"
Qi Hongyi, Old Demon Huang, and Old Copper Qian had come together at the Desolation Abandoned Lands. After learning of the Silver Moon Queen and Shen Feiqing's scheme, Qi Hongyi had changed sides and fought side by side with Yu Yuan, Yan Qiling, and Yushu.
The two were old acquaintances.
Qi Hongyi, holding a pipa, appeared at this time with an indifferent expression. She exchanged a glance with Shen Feiqing, but did nothing else.
Seeing Yan Qiling's bored question, she hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm here to receive my master."
"Your master?" Yan Qiling was surprised.
Qi Hongyi pointed at Sword Prison. "He's imprisoned inside."
Yan Qiling recalled her past and instantly understood. "So that's how it is."
Qi Hongyi came from the Blue Phoenix Empire, and was the beloved daughter of a prime minister. In a power struggle, the old prime minister lost and was killed by a great general. She was implicated, skinned, and had her soul imprisoned.
She survived, and was said to have been rescued by someone. Thirty years later, she reappeared with a pipa and killed the great general's family.
After that, Qi Hongyi escaped to the Desolation Abandoned Lands and cultivated evil arts.
She had never told anyone about her master, and no one knew.
Looking at it now, the master who had saved her and taught her a set of strange techniques that could be learned in a short time should also be an evil lord who was suppressed in the Sword Prison outside the heavens.
"My master was captured and imprisoned in the Sword Prison when he was traveling in the outer realms," Qi Hongyi explained. Qi Hongyi explained, "It's been many years. It's a pity that my knowledge is shallow and I'm not capable enough to save him. When I heard the news, I only came here to hitch a ride and bring my master, whose blood spiritual force has been sucked out by the sword prison, away from this swamp. "
After she finished, Yan Qiling nodded slightly and said, "You did the right thing. This is what you should do."
Qi Hongyi's master had saved her from the Azure Phoenix Empire when she was on the brink of death. He had taught her evil arts and helped her take revenge. Qi Hongyi would remember this kindness in her heart. When it was time to repay it, she would naturally do so.
"Mister Yan, what brings you here?" Qi Hongyi asked curiously, "I heard that Mr. Yan helped Yu Yuan suppress the thing at the bottom of the Soul Refining Lake in the forbidden land of the Fallen Moons. Is that true?"
As soon as he said this, Shen Feiqing, Tan Yuan, Zhao Jie and the others all looked over.
There were many secrets that they had only vaguely heard, but did not know the inside story.
Yan Qiling glanced at Shen Feiqing and Tan Yuan. He chuckled and said, "I think it's only right to resist the demons from the outside world. What was suppressed under the Soul Dissolving Pool was a Heavenly Demon that wanted to harm Haoran's mortals. Even though the three great sects and the Devil's Palace, the Goblin Temple, and I'm imprisoned in the forbidden land of the Fallen Moons, I'm still a member of this heaven and earth. "
"It's my duty to deal with foreign enemies." With these words, he looked at the Sword Prison and said, "None of the people in there are Heavenly Demons or outsiders from the starry river. They're all crooks from Haoran's heaven and earth. The three great sects, the Devil's Palace, and the Goblin Temple have deemed them as crooks. They're essentially the same as me.
"This is an internal dispute, not a foreign one. It's not against my principles to do something in exchange for something."
His words were meant for Shen Feiqing, Tan Yuan, and the others to hear.
The reason why he had disdained Shen Feiqing and the Silver Moon Queen, and wanted to ruin their plan with Yutu, was that they had planned to awaken Asura from the Dark Realm and bring him back to life.
However, Asura from the Dark Realm was an outsider from the starry river, not a native of Haoran.
Zhao Jie smiled and said, "The Dark Charm Sect is also an outsider."
Zhao Jie smiled and bowed to Yan Qiling from afar. Then, she turned to Tan Yuan and said, "Friends are friends, but righteousness is righteousness. If I had been in the Desolation Abandoned Lands and learned that Commander Shen and Li Yupan were going to release Asura from the Dark Realm, I would have done everything in my power to stop them. "
Tan Yuan snorted, but didn't say anything.
Shen Feiqing, the person involved, said with a grim face, "We have our reasons!"
It was pointless to say anything more.
At this moment, the expression of the old man floating above the Sword Prison, who was maintaining the spatial stability, flickered as he called out, "Mr. Yan, please give me a hand!"
Everyone's gazes instantly converged on the Sword Prison.
Sharp sword lights constantly shot out from the honeycomb-like cave on the silver mountain top with a "Chi Chi" sound.
The sword lights and sword intents that the Moon Severing Great Cultivators sealed in the whetstones could cut through space. As soon as they left the cave inside the Sword Prison, everyone saw the space around the Sword Prison ripple. Sometimes, narrow, bright spatial rifts would be torn open, giving off an aura of death, coldness, and endless desolation.
The dense spatial fissures had become extremely fragile due to the sword intent and sword energy flowing through them.
"Boom! Boom boom boom! "
Rumbles came from the depths of the land where the Sword Prison was located. It was as if the foundation of this world was about to explode because of the sword intents and sword lights.
The old man who was sitting cross-legged on a small altar made a hand seal and threw out many strange space jades. His face was solemn as he shouted, "Mister Yan, this small world has been pulled into the Great Swamp. If we break the space and release the aura of the Sword Prison, the three exalted sects, the Devil Palace, and the Monster Palace will know about it. You and I know what will happen."
"What did you promise me?" Yan Qiling looked at the white-robed man.
"I'll fulfill it immediately after the deed is done!" the master of this place said.
"Okay!"
Yan Qiling's figure flashed, and he appeared above the Sword Prison. He waved his hand, and a large black and white chessboard appeared.
The moment the chessboard appeared, the spatial rifts rapidly healed.
"Why did the Sword Prison suddenly cause such a huge commotion?"
Long Yang, who was standing on the floating palanquin, felt the aura of the drop of dragon blood disappear and began to worry about the safety of her father, the level nine old dragon.
"Yu Yuan has successfully broken through to the Subtle realm," the owner of this place said with a smile.
Whoosh!
The emerald Frigid Ice Flame suddenly surged and burned violently. The woman, who had recently become famous throughout the world, seemed to have a drastic change in her emotions because of these words.
The wrinkled old woman of the Yin Charm Sect frowned as doubts rose in her heart.
"Wasn't he possessed by the celestial demon a long time ago? He's a foreign celestial demon wearing Lin Zhuyun's skin, a cold-blooded and emotionless creature. Why would he change his mind time and time again because of someone unrelated to him, Yu Yuan? "
… …
There were no demons in the empty cave.
Yu Yuan sat within, holding the scabbard with one hand and immersing his mind.
In the blink of an eye, his spiritual sense flowed like water to the sword marks engraved on his arm bone. Immediately, he began to comprehend the Sword Dao incantation hidden in those sword marks.
Chi!
Beams of sword light shot out from the stone tunnel and flew around the cave.
While he was comprehending the mysteries of the Sword Dao with his mind, his soul, which was made up of the three souls of Heaven, Earth, and Man, began to change in the small world in his sea of consciousness.
His spiritual sense was slipping away strand by strand.
A moment later, he felt tired. His heart stirred, and he woke up.
"Comprehending the sword will consume spiritual sense. When I break through to the Yin Spirit stage, my spiritual sense will once again be refined into spiritual will, and it will consume my soul power. "Naturally, he came to this realization and understood the reason and the crux of the matter.
"Ah!"
Looking down, he noticed a beam of sword energy flying into the scabbard!
With a start, he immediately condensed a wisp of his spiritual sense and carefully observed it.
At the bottom of the scabbard, there was a continuous stream of sword intent and sword energy!
In the Desolate Abandoned Grounds, to deal with the remnant soul of the Dark Domain Asura, he had consumed a lot of sword energy and sword intent. Later, at the bottom of the Starry Ash Sea Region and the Lie Yan Islands, he had also borrowed the power of the scabbard.
The power of the sword energy, which could not be regenerated, had long been depleted. There was not much left.
And now, there was a new sword energy and sword intent appearing at the bottom of the scabbard!
Without thinking, he knew that the new sword energy and sword intent came from the Sword Prison he was in!
When he was comprehending the Sword Dao incantation on his arm bone, sword intent and sword energy would spontaneously gather and settle in the scabbard.
When the sword energy and sword intent mixed together, it could be seen as a unique kind of energy. In the Sword Prison, this kind of energy was intertwined in the stone tunnel and at the entrance of each cave.
Because of the existence of this kind of energy, Long Jie, the evil overlords like Zhong Li Pan, couldn't escape from the Sword Prison.
"I came to the Great Desolate God Lake because the Python Queen was entrusted by the Goblin Temple. On the other hand, the Goblin Temple was persuaded by the master of this place to send an important person of the Goblin Temple. Therefore, I came here because I have the sword soul of a Moon Severing Grand Cultivator, and I have the scabbard! "
Yu Yuan's expression changed slightly.
"He knows that I suddenly reached the Subtle realm and condensed my spiritual sense, so I can comprehend the mysteries of the Sword Dao. He also knows that in the process of comprehending, sword intent and sword energy will enter the scabbard. Over time, the power that trapped those evil overlords will all flow into the scabbard, and it will no longer be able to keep the scabbard in check. "
"Those who are imprisoned will naturally be able to successfully escape from the Sword Prison!"
Thinking up to this point, Yu Yuan naturally knew that Zhong Li Da Pan's help must have a tacit understanding with that mysterious master. They both knew each other well.
"What should I do?"
If he continued to comprehend the Sword Dao, he would continuously gather sword intent and sword energy in the process of comprehending. As a result, those imprisoned in the Sword Prison would be able to escape.
If he didn't comprehend the Sword Dao, he would be able to escape from the Sword Prison with the scabbard.
However, he would have to face the white-robed man. Both he and Chen Qingyan might be killed on the spot.
"The ones imprisoned in the Sword Prison are Zhong Li Pan and Long Jie. These people aren't from the Otherworldly Races." Yu Yuan pondered for a long time, took a deep breath, and made a decision.
He decided to continue comprehending the Sword Prison, ignoring the sword intent and sword energy that were gathering.
When he did so, the Sword Prison became extremely unstable. Sword intent and sword energy shot out rapidly.
Yan Qiling and that person worked together to stabilize the situation.
Several days later, no more sword intent and sword energy flew out of the Sword Prison.
The white-robed master looked at the quiet Sword Prison that was filled with sword intent and sword energy and laughed softly. "I like smart people. I like young people who have a way."
He saw through Yu Yuan's decision.
