Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect

Chapter 1158 - 580: At the Foot of Qingcheng Mountain

Chen Xuantian was really taken aback.

Goodness, who doesn’t know that alchemy impoverishes three generations, and sword forging ruins an entire sect. Tie Dan, this guy, is a lone commander, a solitary newbie, who doesn’t even have a single Direct Disciple at the Ninth Peak, and yet he’s directly started a furnace and begun forging swords? He’s casting flying swords in bulk and sending them out?

It’s just too arrogant, too extravagant, too envy-inducing. Of course, it’s probably because he has too much money with nowhere to spend, feels too lonely being unbeatable, and is too bored...

Chen Xuantian wanted to see what was up with that sword ball, but Tang Xian’er, also being broke, naturally couldn’t bear to let go of such a good thing. Before he could open his mouth to ask, she’d already swallowed the sword ball back into her stomach to nourish it.

However, now wasn’t quite the time to break her stomach open, pry her heart, and retrieve the sword ball from her throat, so Chen Xuantian covered it up a bit, coughed and said,

"Cough cough, so Tang Sect Master also joined the Sword Sect. Then we are all fellow Mystic Sect practitioners, much respect, much respect."

Tang Xian’er waved her hand,

"No need, dear old lady here is just a country person, speaking up always makes people laugh. I’m just relying on that thin fame in Jianghu to temporarily reside at Hidden Sword Manor. I brazenly mix with the group of children to listen to lessons, secretly learning the Sword Sect’s True Inheritance, but cannot aspire to the True Immortal of the Mystic Sect, nor dare claim to be a descendant of the Sword Ancestor."

Seeing her being quite narrow-minded, Chen Xuantian begrudgingly said,

"Since Sect Master can compete for the sword ball, you’re no outsider; wouldn’t it be better to stay on Nine Yin Mountain for cultivation? Why bother coming back to quarrel with the young ones?"

Tang Xian’er was quite frank, sighing,

"Who says I’m not cultivating in the Central Plains? But over there is truly too dangerous; at any time, they slaughter entire families, wipe out clans, brains completely twisted. You haven’t been to Nine Yin Mountain, probably don’t know; these years, the Immortal Alliance has looted the Capital dry, risen to the skies, and ignored things.

Now Immortal Palace, rebel army, demons, Si, Qian, Dui, Kun’s warlord powers and refugee leaders, are all mixed up in a battle at the Capital, fighting, disrupting, slaughtering white bones and emptying ten houses of nine. Immortal Mountain, Mountain Man, demons, and Demons all struggle in calamity, constantly at risk of dying.

Only the Sword Ancestor’s notorious reputation keeps all parties respectful, no troops dare invade Nine Yin Mountain’s territory. Therefore, in recent years, many displaced folks came down the mountain for help, and are escorted by us Sword Sect Outer Mountain Disciples, migrating to Kunzhou to seek refuge.

So this time I also went home along the way, to see if there are any younglings in the Tang Family worth mentoring to go to the Central Plains for advanced learning. But sadly, each one is as troublesome as their grandpas, causing headaches... hold on!"

Tang Xian’er raised her hand, launched a flying needle with a sound of "Boom!" shattering a stone brick,

"There’s a mechanism here."

"A mechanism? Who set it up?"

Chen Xuantian also snapped back, curiously leaning over to look, finding that beneath the stone brick indeed hid a Fire Talisman, even he didn’t spot it.

Well, speaking of Qingcheng Mountain, it’s a typical Danxia landform, mainly composed of Cretaceous red sandstone and conglomerate, geological structure active. Under long-term uplift and water erosion, it formed deep landscape with crisscrossing valleys and steep cliffs, underground cave and fissure system very developed. Coupled with occasional Immortal and demon wars, mountain splitting, demons, drilling into mountains, digging caves, various battlefield ruins, it becomes even more complex.

Therefore, it is quite reasonable they suddenly stumbled into a mechanism trap as they escaped underground and darted tens of meters using Qinggong. However, Chen Xuantian indeed didn’t notice such an inconspicuous corner, nothing around it, why would they bury a talisman, suspicious inside but politely said,

"Still, Sect Master is experienced in Jianghu, this Fire Talisman’s drawing is botched, though exploding won’t even break Refining, at most disgusting people, if it explodes around the rock walls, causing landslide and getting lost is quite troublesome. Maybe left by some mountain bandits occasionally staying here, used for warning."

Tang Xian’er with a sour face said,

"I arranged it."

Chen Xuantian’s eyes twitched,

"Wow, Sect Master is truly superior, must be a mark leading the secret pathway, right? Even in this dark, confusing multiple paths place, unable to find the way someday, can remotely pinch the formula and explode to alert, indeed Sect Master is old Jianghu, flawless in planning, this humble monk is impressed."

Tang Xian’er glared at him, muttering,

"This secret path I discovered back then entering the mountain, looking for that heartless man.

Inside is an Immortal Relic, probably the Xuan Demon battlefield from back then, many Demon God evil spirits, and evil spirits are sealed in it, unable to reincarnate.

Don’t stray too far from me, or if your Heart Demon seizes your body, I can’t protect you."

Chen Xuantian doubted,

"So dangerous? How did Sect Master get away back then? No offense, mainly this humble monk also wants to learn how to get through the Heart Demon tribulation."

Tang Xian’er coldly snorted,

"Heart Demon possession in essence is no different from virus plague, the key is you must insist on your Daoist Heart, not be confused by illusions, naturally turning danger into safety.

Moreover, these Heavenly Demons have died too long; they cannot easily leave their bodies. As long as you hold your heart, control your hands, don’t touch and mess around aimlessly, picking up whatever you see, people can’t plot against you."

"Oh, I see, thanks for the reminder."

It does seem to make sense... could it really be this simple?

Although the Immortal and demon here indeed died too long ago, counting back those are from more than a thousand years, the probability of Demon God Residual Soul Fragment possession success is extremely low, yet if there’s one in ten thousand chance reincarnating, risking a hit is very dangerous, isn’t it? Not to mention in those days, even with her current skills, she couldn’t stop those Demon God Ancestors from possessing, right?
