Chapter 591: Will You Turn Back

Not long after, a few more sword lights flew over.
One of the sword lights seemed to have turned into a hazy moonlight that covered the entire world.
Chen Luoyang had his Daoist Banhai clone stay far away and conceal himself. He recognized the newcomer. It was Elder Qin of the Sky River, who he had interacted with in the Wilderness before. He was the elder with the deepest sword skills in the Illusory Moon School of the Sky River and an expert of the eighteenth level of the Sword Principle.
Apart from Elder Qin, the others were also senior experts of the Heavenly River lineage.
They felt the remnants of the Blood River Sword Intent and their expressions were grave.
The purple-robed old man who was the leader of the Eastern Zhou side walked out of the crowd.”Elder Qin, long time no see.”
When Elder Qin saw the purple-robed old man, he was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses.”Mister Immortal Bamboo? It’s really been a long time. It’s probably been almost 200 years, right?”
The purple-robed Old Man Xianzhu nodded slightly.”l’m ashamed. This old man has been in seclusion and has not been able to come out until recently.”
Elder Qin saw that Old Man Xianzhu’s cultivation was still at the 17th realm, the same as before. He knew that Old Man Xianzhu had been in seclusion for a long time and had not been able to break through his bottleneck.
From the looks of it, there was no hope of reaching the eighteenth realm in his entire life.
Elder Qin no longer mentioned the other party’s seclusion and said,” I haven’t heard from you for many years. So you’ve been in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty? ‘
‘ That’s right. Thanks to His Majesty Jing Zong’s care, I was able to find a safe and secluded place to cultivate. Now that I’ve come out of seclusion, although His Majesty Jing Zong is no longer around, I will still serve the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to repay our friendship. ” Old Man Xianzhu sighed.
The ” Emperor Jing Zong ” he spoke of was the Zhou Emperor from two hundred years ago, the grandfather of the current Empress of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. He had fallen at the hands of Ye Tianmo more than a hundred years ago.
“Sir, you are very righteous.” Elder Qin looked around and said,”Just now, you guys…
She wasn’t the only one. All of the Sky River heirs present could clearly sense the strange expressions on the faces of the people from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
The people of the Heavenly River felt their hearts sink when they connected the bloody sword will that had yet to dissipate.
They were all too familiar with the Blood River Division.
Most of the Blood River survivors had retreated to the Blood Sea to recuperate and stay away from the mortal world.
The remaining blood river sword essence here was too strong. It was definitely not the work of an ordinary person.
At the very least, Wang Di, that traitor, definitely couldn’t do it with his sixteenth realm cultivation.
In this way, the source of the Blood River Sword Intent…
” I haven’t been in the mortal world for many years. Things have remained the same, but people have changed. I don’t know most of the new people in the mortal world, but after I came out of seclusion, I’ve heard of your sect’s Little Sword Immortal and seen his portrait. I saw someone just now, ” Old Man Xianzhu said slowly. ” He looked exactly like a disciple of your sect. However, that person is the direct descendant of the Blood River, so I’m not sure.
Everyone from the Sky River fell silent.
After a while, Elder Qin took a deep breath.”He … What have you done?”
‘ He didn’t make an enemy out of us. However, his murderous aura is rare among Martial Saints. ” ” He killed many warriors of Yanran Mountain, ” Old Man Xianzhu answered. ” Then he took an old woman away.
Hearing the second half of the sentence, the expressions of the people from the Heavenly River became even darker.
Elder Qin was silent for a moment before saying, ” A wise man will not beat around the bush. Unfortunately, the sect was ambushed by the Blood River. We need to find Tianzhao as soon as possible. If you and everyone from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty see him again, please pay attention to his whereabouts and inform us.
“Of course.” Old Man Xianzhu nodded.
Elder Qin and the others asked a few more questions and did not have the mood to stay. They hurriedly took their leave.
“Mr. Cheng is about to arrive. Do you want to stay a little longer, Elder Qin?” Old Man Xianzhu said.
Upon hearing the great name of “Rain Master” Uncle Cheng Zhi, Elder Qin hesitated for a moment, but he still said,”Time is of the essence, so we won’t stay. Mister Xianzhu will tell Mister Cheng about the situation here in detail, and he will make a decision.”
After saying that, he bid farewell to the people from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and chased after Shen Tianzhao.
On the way, everyone in the Heavenly River was silent. The atmosphere was so oppressive that it was almost suffocating.
Suddenly, an elder broke the silence. “”ln the end, he still couldn’t control himself and fell into the demonic path!”
“Let’s find him first.” Elder Qin sighed.
“What happened after you found it?” The elder’s expression was solemn. ” The person he took away should be Madam Poisonous Dragon, who the old Sect Leader mentioned. She is his grandmother. He did not bring anyone back but fled instead. That means he is bent on protecting Madam Poisonous Dragon.
” They haven’t seen each other for more than ten years, ” someone consoled. ‘ Tianzhao is already an adult. He shouldn’t be so easily bewitched…”
However, as she spoke, she lowered her voice. She was not confident in her own words.
If Shen Tianzhao really didn’t need anyone to worry about him, the Heavenly River wouldn’t have turned into a Blood River.
Such a change could be induced by others, but if one’s heart was not shaken, it would be impossible to succeed.
Shen Tianzhao had already made his decision.
“Don’t rush to conclusions. After all, he just met Madam Poisonous Dragon.”
Elder Qin sighed. ” Although the sword will has entered the Blood River Devil Dao and is bloodthirsty, since he refuses to hurt the people of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, it means that he still has a clear mind. It’s not impossible for him to turn back.
Someone said in a muffled voice, ” Then let’s find him. Let’s see how he treats Madam Poisonous Dragon. That she-devil has harmed countless living beings and even killed our disciples. We must not let her off. Otherwise, how can we comfort the souls of the dead in heaven? ‘
Elder Qin said, ” Of course, but we can’t be too hasty. Let’s try to bring both of them back to the mountain gate first, so as not to give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of us. After we return to the mountain, we’ll leave everything to the old Sect Leader. ‘
If we meet later, you must not lose your cool. Let Madam Poisonous Dragon live for the time being and give Tianzhao time and opportunity to sort out his state of mind.’
The people from the Sky River all nodded silently.
Chen Luoyang’s clone, Daoist Banhai, watched as the people from the Heavenly River parted ways with the people from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
Although he didn’t know where the old sword immortal was, Elder Qin and the others would inform him of Shen Tianzhao’s whereabouts immediately.
Regardless of whether it was to save his outstanding successor or to eliminate a new demon who might rise up, Tian He undoubtedly valued Shen Tianzhao.
Elder Qin and the others had fought in the Wilderness and were exhausted.
They had just returned and had no time to recuperate. They continued to track Shen Tianzhao. It was obvious how much the Heavenly River had invested.
Of course, whether he was friend or foe, Shen Tianzhao was worth it.
Although he was still at the 17th level, if he was at his peak, Shen Tianzhao would be even more powerful than Elder Qin, who was at the 18th level.
To some extent, it was not an exaggeration to say that he was the number one expert in the Heavenly River after the old Sword Immortal, if he could use his full strength.
What was particularly noteworthy was that the current situation might be the opportunity for Shen Tianzhao to untie the knot in his heart.
After the battle at Zhengyang City, during the decisive battle between the
Heavenly River and the Blood River, Chen Luoyang discovered that Shen Tianzhao was half a step ahead of Lian Buyi, Wei Ling, and Crazy Yuan, who were all considered the Ten Heroes of the Red Dust. He was only a step away from the eighteenth realm.
Under normal circumstances, after that battle, he would be able to steadily break through to the 18th level. He might even be faster than Cheng Ying Tian and become the third peak-stage Martial Saint after Xu Peng and Yan Ming from the western paradise.
In the end, when he found out that Madam Poisonous Dragon was still alive, he felt as if a thorn had been stabbed in his heart, and Shen Tianzhao was stuck at the seventeenth level.
It could be said that if this matter was not resolved, he would not be able to reach the eighteenth realm in this lifetime.
But this time, he might be able to pull out this thorn.
However, the result might be a complete fall to the demonic path or a return to the righteous path.
Regardless of the outcome, Shen Tianzhao was destined to break through his bottleneck and reach the peak of the eighteenth realm, the Martial Saint Realm.
However, it would be fine if he returned to the righteous path. If he completely entered the demonic path, it would be a huge hidden danger for the Heavenly River.
If he had more time, he might have become the new Blood River Patriarch.
Of course, he might hate both the Heavenly River and the Blood River.
To Tian He, letting Madam Poisonous Dragon off in order to appease Shen Tianzhao and turn hostility into friendship was something he could not even think about.
Even the old Sword Immortal who valued Shen Tianzhao the most, or the seemingly calm and gentle Elder Qin, would not make such a compromise.
It seemed like he was going to catch the big and let go of the small, but it was a choice that the people of the Heavenly River would not consider at all.
Their discipline towards themselves was so strict that it made one’s hair stand on end.
Chen Luoyang guessed that Shen Tianzhao should also know this very well. Therefore, he didn’t dare to bring Madam Poisonous Dragon back to the sect to plead for mercy in case he walked right into a trap.
However, if the old sword immortal was determined to find him, it would be very difficult for him to hide with Madam Poisonous Dragon.
The best way was to rely on another family.
However, could Shen Tianzhao really make up his mind?
Just by looking at how he showed mercy to the people of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, one could tell that he was conflicted…
As Chen Luoyang pondered, he planned to let Daoist Banhai’s avatar follow the people from the Heavenly River.
However, just as he was about to move, Daoist Banhai suddenly had a thought.
To be more precise, it wasn’t him who was affected. Instead, one of the materials that formed this clone, the White Jade Dragon Bone, was affected by the outside world.
Chen Luoyang frowned inwardly.
This feeling was very similar to that time in the Yong Yue mountain range of the West Qin Imperial Dynasty.
Some top experts of the Blue Dragon Island were approaching this sea area.
Could it be…
Just as Chen Luoyang was feeling astonished, a mighty dragon’s roar echoed in his ears and spread throughout the world.
A green dragon might auspicious cloud rapidly approached and instantly enveloped this world.
It was indeed him.
Dragon King Xu Peng.
But why did he suddenly appear here?
After recognizing the other party, the doubt in Chen Luoyang’s heart didn’t decrease. This change had exceeded his expectations.
Now that they were in the East Sea, it was not strange for a direct disciple to appear on the Blue Dragon Island, one of the overlords of the sea.
However, the Blue Dragon Island had always been isolated and rarely interfered in the battles between other major forces.
Before the war between the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the North Sea’s Yanran
Mountain, or the expedition to the Wilderness with the Heavenly River, the
Blue Dragon Island did not react at all.
Why did he suddenly make a move now?
Especially since the newcomer was not an ordinary person, but the Dragon King, Xu Peng, who was known as the second most powerful person on the
Blue Dragon Island.
Why did he come?
