Remould the Glory of Sword Art

This is indeed very fair.

The risk that Cheng Er has to bear using herself as bait is enormous.

If Xie Xuanyi makes a move, it may not be able to kill the Chi Fu Dragon Lord.

If Xie Xuanyi doesn’t make a move...

She will have set the stage for nothing.

"Do you trust me?"

Xie Xuanyi sneered, "I intend to wipe out the Paperman Sect."

"That’s a matter for the future."

Cheng Er shook her head, confidently saying, "Compared to the Paperman Sect, Master Xie now certainly wants to kill the Heavenly Phoenix Palace more."

Indeed, she wasn’t wrong.

In Xie Xuanyi’s heart, compared to the Paperman Sect, the Heavenly Phoenix Palace is now the pressing major concern!

"..."

Xie Xuanyi lowered his eyelids.

Regarding the deal proposed by Cheng Er, he neither nodded in agreement nor shook his head in denial, but suddenly changed the topic, saying indifferently, "Let’s talk about ’Xuan Jin’."

"Xuan Jin?"

Cheng Er raised her eyebrows slightly, somewhat surprised.

"The sword genius personally nurtured by Chi Fu Dragon Lord for nearly thirty years."

"The young quasi-throne eagerly awaited by numerous Great Demons in the Heavenly Phoenix Palace."

Xie Xuanyi said, "Such a person, standing on the cusp of success, merely met with you a few times, exchanged a few words... then suddenly changed his mind, choosing to bear disgrace and hide his identity, rather than openly returning to become the envied young leader of the Demon Country. Isn’t this situation too absurd?"

"...?"

Ao Ying appeared shocked as she listened from the side.

She has been diligently cultivating in the {Ruins} for these years, though she occasionally goes out to hunt and catch news.

Often, what she hears is only explosive news.

Such as the Holy Empress’s death and path cessation, Xie Xuanyi killing Sun Erosion, so forth.

As for Xuan Jin, she heard about it just now, which seems too absurd!

Needless to say, before Jiang Huang appeared, Xuan Jin was the focus of everyone’s attention as the next throne candidate!

Meeting Cheng Er a few times and then fled?

Xie Xuanyi always claims he is a "demoness."

In her view.

Cheng Er is the real "demoness", what kind of magic power does this woman in a green robe possess, to make a promising young Great Cultivator like Xuan Jin become obsessed like this.

"There are plenty of absurd things in this world."

Cheng Er said lightly, "Whether Xuan Jin returns to the Heavenly Phoenix Palace is his own freedom."

Clearly, she had no intention of explaining this matter.

"Is it?"

Xie Xuanyi smiled, "Does Xuan Jin... truly have freedom?"

With these words.

The atmosphere in the ancient temple suddenly froze.

Visibly, the wind and snow seeped in from outside the temple, freezing layers of frost on the wide doorstep where Cheng Er sat.

"This year, Cui Zhen talked to me more than once about this matter."

Xie Xuanyi sat on the chair, calmly said, "He couldn’t understand Xuan Jin’s actions..."

Cui Zhen left a Pure Yang Body.

This body has been located within the Demon Country, tracking Cheng Er and Xuan Jin’s whereabouts.

Because of the Heavenly Phoenix Palace’s pursuit, Cui Zhen’s chase was forcibly interrupted, but this did not prevent his investigation into Cheng Er.

Cui Zhen was quite disgusted by the "Paperman Sect," more accurately, he detested "Lu Yuzhen," who stirred up storms in the Southern and Northern War; once the Battle of Poison ended, the Demon Country barely recovered some Primordial Energy, only to be swept away again by the joint efforts of the Heavenly Phoenix Palace and the Great Ape Mountain. Cui Zhen initially thought that the pursuit on Li Lan Mountain was the final opportunity, provided that Xuan Jin had breathing space, the Heavenly Phoenix Palace would immediately dispatch someone to "receive the throne," but the reality was drastically different from his expectations.

After Xuan Jin escaped alive, he went directly into hiding.

Let alone Cui Zhen.

Even the Great Palace Master of the Heavenly Phoenix Palace couldn’t find him!

What a bizarre situation... Clearly, a communication order would gather thousands of followers and return to peaceful times.

Thus.

There are only two possibilities.

Either Xuan Jin was turned against by Cheng Er.

Or, Xuan Jin... was detained by Cheng Er.

Before today’s meeting, Xie Xuanyi couldn’t guess the truth, but as he conversed with Cheng Er, he slowly reached a conclusion in his heart.

"Everyone in the Heavenly Phoenix Palace knows. Xuan Jin is a good disciple."

Xie Xuanyi lowered his eyelids, chuckling softly, "If the master says left, Xuan Jin dare not go right. Chi Fu Dragon Lord treats him extremely well, yet coincidentally, he is promising, not only does his cultivation realm far exceed others in his age group among the Great Demons, but he also comprehended the rare ’Path of Destruction Intent’."

"What do you want to say?"

Cheng Er’s expression was icy.

"Even someone like him decides to leave the Heavenly Phoenix Palace, why doesn’t he send even a message?"

Xie Xuanyi smiled and said, "Master Xie knows a little bit about the Paperman Sect’s skill of sending someone for ’Divine Travel.’ If I didn’t guess wrong, during this time, Xuan Jin was likely sent to the River of Destiny?"

"..."

Cheng Er said nothing.

Silence at this moment said everything.

Crack crack crack!

On the frozen doorstep of the ancient temple, fragmented paper shreds flew in the wind.

Cheng Er’s green robe sleeves also fluttered, the whole person emanating a rather prestigious and heavy aura, but unfortunately, against the sword energy light fire suspended above the statue, these winds, these paper shreds... seemed exceedingly weak.

She knew Xie Xuanyi’s strength.

This is a Heavenly Pride of Sword Dao who has already achieved Great Success and reached the mountain peak.

Currently, the Daoist Master’s plan hasn’t succeeded yet, those Venerable Wu Gous immersed in the River of Destiny haven’t completed their promotion either, even if she summons all Venerables from {Mirror Three} to {Dao Jiu}, there’s no guarantee they could defeat the now injured Xie Xuanyi.

"Is a fight going to break out?"

Ao Ying tensed up her entire body.

She certainly sensed something was wrong, clearly, just a moment ago it was an open and honest peace negotiation, with a harmony of cooperation that treated the other as bait for mutual wins. How suddenly did it become a situation where swords were drawn?

She instinctively looked to her side.

The young man in black sitting in the wheelchair had always maintained a calm manner.

Xie Xuanyi propped his cheek with one hand, the other hand lightly resting on the chair.

His eyes filled with a contemptuous smile indicative of holding great power.

Everyone knows, Cheng Er is the Chess Player entrusted with important tasks by the {Paperman Sect}, daring to come here alone, she must have prepared some means... yet it seems Xie Xuanyi does not care.

The sword energy light fire hanging above the temple swayed like a lantern.

As if waiting for a communication order to immediately descend.

"Sigh..."

Such stalemate didn’t last long.

Cheng Er suddenly laughed, "Lord Daoist was indeed right."

"Oh?" Xie Xuanyi squinted his eyes gently.

"Lord Daoist said before, when dealing with you, be wary in all respects."

Cheng Er sighed lightly, "Although you don’t understand the Divination Skill, you possess heart lake sensing that’s different from ordinary people. You wouldn’t rely solely on speculation for matters concerning Xuan Jin, would you?"

"So... what if I do?"

Xie Xuanyi didn’t hide it, directly acknowledging.

His style differs from Chen Jingxuan.

Many things, Chen Jingxuan would proceed based on evidence before making subsequent deductions.

But Xie Xuanyi isn’t like that.

He is convinced that Xuan Jin was detained by Cheng Er, thus losing his freedom. Even without evidence, as long as this thought arises, Xie Xuanyi will unwaveringly proceed in this direction... nearly every time, he is correct, just follow up on the speculation, and evidence that supports this thought can be found.

"Alright. Congratulations, you guessed right again."

Cheng Er spread her arms, reluctantly admitting, "Indeed, I have ’trapped’ Xuan Jin."
