At this moment, Fen Ji was right in front of him. Mu Qingxiao felt that the soul swords in the Yin Yang Jade were already impatient.
Suppressing the restlessness of the soul swords, Mu Qingxiao sighed. He knew very well that he could devour Fen Ji now, but the consequence would be Han Yunxi's life.
Fen Ji was created when Crown Prince Chang Qin was banished to the mortal world. When his soul passed by Mount Xiao, Longyuan Sword Craftsman Jiao Li used the Blood Smear Formation to forcibly extract his life soul and four spirits. After Crown Prince Chang Qin's soul was separated, half of the sword spirit that entered Fen Ji fell into a deep slumber.
After Nuwa sealed the seven swords, Fen Ji was sealed in Wumeng Spirit Valley, and its people were sent to guard it for generations.
A thousand years later, when Fen Ji was found by Ouyang Shaogong, Great Shaman Zhu Han Xiuning, who was guarding the sword, transferred the sword spirit into the body of his dead son, Han Yunxi.
Han Yunxi was an extremely complicated existence. He died because of Fen Ji, but was also born because of Fen Ji.
If Fen Ji was taken away now, the sword spirit would lose contact with the sword body, and Han Yunxi would probably die completely. If Han Yunxi died, Fen Ji would be incomplete. This was not the result he wanted.
"Phew … I finally suppressed Fen Ji's baleful aura."
Ziyin Spiritual Master retracted his magic power, his face turning pale. It was obvious that Fen Ji had already invaded him in Youdu, and he had suppressed it on the way to Heaven's Wall City.
Although he was a sword immortal, he could not withstand such a long time.
Seeing him retract his magic power, Spiritual Master Han Su walked forward and asked, "Spiritual Master Zi Yin, what happened?"
"Sigh, it's a long story … Now, I used the Void Sword Mudra to suppress Fen Ji, and at the same time, seal the Fen Ji baleful aura in the child's body."
Spiritual Master Han Su frowned and said, "According to what you said, the Fen Ji baleful aura has already fused with the child, and there's no way to get rid of it. I'm afraid the child will be devoured by it one day."
Spiritual Master Zi Yin sighed. How could he not know that Han Yunxi would fall into the devil path if he was devoured by the baleful aura? But as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would do his best to save the child.
"Wumeng Spirit Valley has guarded the Solitary Incineration Sword for generations. Now, this child has become an orphan because of the Solitary Incineration. His mother and I are old friends. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will protect his life."
Zhenren Zi Yin insisted on saving Han Yunxi. Zhenren Han Su saw that her persuasion was futile and did not stop him. She said, "Zhenren Zi Yin, are you injured?"
"Don't worry, I'll be able to recover after a period of seclusion."
Ziyin Spiritual Master waved his hand. Right now, all his thoughts were on Han Yunxi and Fen Ji. Although his injuries were severe, he had no time to care about them.
"Fine, since you brought this child to Heaven's Wall City, it means that you are fated with our Heaven's Wall City. We will be responsible for sealing Fen Ji."
"If that's the case, then I'll have to trouble you, Sect Leader."
Reverend Ziyin nodded slightly. It would be best if Reverend Hansu could help seal Fen Ji. With his injuries, he indeed needed some time in seclusion.
"Greetings, Reverend Zi Yin."
"There's no need for such formalities."
Seeing Mu Qingxiao, Reverend Zi Yin nodded with a smile. When he looked at Mu Qingxiao, he was slightly taken aback. He said with gratification, "You've already learned the Void Illusionary Sword?"
One had to know that the Void Illusionary Sword was the result of his sword skills. Even Reverend Hansu had cultivated it for decades.
However, the youth in front of him had only used a year to learn the Void Illusionary Sword. His monstrous talent was simply unimaginable.
"I've barely learned it. I'm afraid it will take a long time before I can use it," Mu Qingxiao said truthfully.
Reverend Zi Yin smiled with gratification and did not say anything else. As for Reverend Hansu, she was also full of smiles. The more monstrous Mu Qingxiao's talent was, the more advantageous it would be for Heaven's Wall City.
She was humble in dealing with matters and was neither arrogant nor rash. Such a temperament was commendable.
It could be said that the most correct thing that Reverend Hansu had done in her many years as Sect Master was to rope Mu Qingxiao into Heaven's Wall City's camp.
"Hongyu, take this child to rest."
"Yes, Master."
At this moment, Hongyu, who had been standing silently behind Reverend Zi Yin, carried Han Yunxi into the Sword Pagoda.
Hongyu was a member of the ancient Qing Maple Clan. She was the sword spirit of Reverend Zi Yin and possessed the ancient sword, Hongyu.
Before she became the sword spirit, Hongyu was just an ordinary girl in the Qing Maple Clan. She had escaped the destruction of the clan because she had gone on a long journey.
After returning to the clan, she saw the razed Qing Maple Clan, the skeletons exposed in the wild, and Hongyi hanging from the roof beam. Hongyu existed only for revenge. She only wanted a quick death. She would rather fall into the wrong path and never be reincarnated.
In order to avenge the extermination of her clan, she volunteered to become the sword spirit. She begged her master, who was from the Dragon Abyss, to forge her soul into the ancient sword, Hongyu. She wanted to seek revenge with the help of Madam Zhao, who possessed peerless sword skills.
As a reward, Hongyu promised to guard Madam Zhao's bloodline for generations to come until the bloodline was cut off. Madam Zhao's descendants no longer needed her.
A thousand years passed in the blink of an eye. In the dusk of Anlu, Hongyu was freed from Madam Zhao's bloodline after being guarded by her for a long time.
Later, she became the sword spirit of Reverend Zi Yin in Mount Kunlun's Heaven's Wall City. She was ordered to follow and protect Baili Tusu, who had left the mountain without permission.
She used her knowledge and wisdom to help her companions. However, her experiences with her companions also gave her many inspirations.
During the journey, she was impressed by Tusu's temperament and treated him as her family. She followed Tusu to Penglai for the final battle.
In the end, Hongyu returned to Mount Kunlun and never left Reverend Zi Yin's side.
Even though they were not in the mortal world, they had a way to get along. They would probably be together until the end of time.
Mu Qingxiao looked at Hongyu curiously. This was his first time meeting a sword spirit. She was no different from a living person.
After Hongyu left with Han Yunxi in her arms, Mu Qingxiao retracted his gaze and looked at Fen Ji again.
At this moment, several figures rushed over and appeared in the Sword Pagoda. They were the elder of the Mystic Arts Hall, Reverend Lingxu, and the elder of the Discipline Hall, Reverend Han Jiao …
Including Mu Qingxiao, there were a total of six elders from the Five Halls gathered here.
"The alarm is ringing. What happened?" Reverend Lingxu and the others were confused.
When they saw Fen Ji in the Sword Pagoda, Reverend Han Jiao's eyes narrowed and he exclaimed, "What a dense baleful aura. This is the Fen Ji Sword!"
Reverend Lingxu and Reverend Lingdan reacted with shock. They did not know why Fen Ji would appear in Heaven's Wall City.
Reverend Han Su shook his head slightly and said, "Quiet down. It's inappropriate to make so much noise."
When the Hall Elders quieted down, Reverend Han Su began to explain the ins and outs of the matter.
"Half a month ago, Wumeng Spirit Valley was destroyed. The Fen Ji Sword was brought back to Heaven's Wall City by the Sword-Bearing Elder. You guys came at the right time. Seal the baleful sword with me to prevent it from wreaking havoc in the world."
