Remould the Glory of Sword Art

"Escape... I need to escape now!"

Ao Ying knew that this was her best chance to flee for her life.

Currently, the Great Palace Master was searching tirelessly for Xie Xuanyi, and absolutely had no time to bother with a "Little Demon" like her.

Reflecting on the previous arrival scene.

Once everything ended, the Great Palace Master was likely to return here. If she didn’t seize the time to flee far away, when the Great Palace Master returned here, she would be trapped.

As for Xie Xuanyi’s fate...

It was up to his own creation.

"Master Xie, do not blame Ao Ying. It’s not that I don’t save you, but my strength is too lacking."

Ao Ying took a deep breath, silently recited twice, then withdrew her Divine Thought, preparing to flee south.

Now, the Human and Demon Races were still peaceful. As a Loose Cultivator, it was safest to wander near "Li Lan Mountain." This escape direction could best avoid collision with other Great Demons, making it a decent choice.

It was at this moment.

With a light clang.

The Sword Qi Lotus Order hidden deep in her chest emitted an extremely faint transmission.

The only person who could activate this order for communication... was naturally one.

"Xie Xuanyi is still alive?"

Ao Ying naturally didn’t know the situation of that battlefield.

She didn’t dare send out even a wisp of Divine Thought.

However... that tumultuous offensive from afar was indeed terrifying, showing the battle situation clearly.

Xie Xuanyi was formidable, but not to the extent of escaping from the Great Palace Master’s hands, right?

With her heart pounding, she opened the Communication Order.

"..."

Inside the order, there wasn’t a single irrelevant word; there was only a very vague Divine Soul location.

Barren mountain, broken temple, snow flying.

This fragmented scene was roughly located twelve hundred miles north of the Demon Country ruins.

"Damn it."

Ao Ying’s Heart Lake plunged into intense struggle!

At this moment, she seemed to return to three years ago. After leaving Great Yue Kingdom, she had buried the Lotus Token deep within. Xie Xuanyi had transmitted several messages using the Communication Order, but she ignored them all... partly because she didn’t want to get involved with this Human Sword Cultivator, and partly because she only trusted herself.

Now, fate tossed this choice back again.

Even though she didn’t know how Xie Xuanyi did it...

But to transmit such an order, this guy had probably escaped from the Great Palace Master.

Thump.

Thump.

Thump.

All was silent.

Ao Ying could even hear her heartbeat.

Did Xie Xuanyi send the Communication Order to ask for her rescue?

Is this guy serious... He’s human, and she is demon... This is the Demon Country!

Ao Ying looked pained.

Hadn’t she planned everything over the years?

After cultivating for some more years, she would pledge allegiance to [Heavenly Phoenix Palace].

Now was the best time!

A malicious thought crossed her mind.

She had endured painstakingly for so long...

As long as she stood up now and sent out a Divine Thought to disclose the information of the Lotus Token, would she establish a significant achievement?

By then, Chiling City, Five-Colored Ridge... all those past entangled grudges should be over, right?

With the Great Palace Master’s Divine Skills, all it would take is one word to shelter her.

From this day forth, she would be the honored guest of [Heavenly Phoenix Palace].

Refined Dragon Blood, Condensing Dao Great Venerable.

The next moment.

These thoughts were bitingly tossed aside by Ao Ying.

Though she was indeed heartless and disloyal... she owed Xie Xuanyi quite a few lives.

Just hours ago.

The guy just saved her from the Primordial Saint’s hands.

"Ruins... northern part..."

Ao Ying took a deep breath, tightly clenched [Feng Mou], and injected her Essence Blood into this Secret Treasure.

Underneath the desert.

Sand and stone churned.

The Great Demoness lurking underground, after a fierce internal struggle, finally made up her mind, urged the Secret Treasure, and dashed, Crossing the Void, to the northern part of the Demon Country!

...

...

Heavenly Phoenix Palace.

This giant city, held high by countless floating clouds, was especially unsettled today. Angry voices occasionally sounded from the Dragon Lord Chi Fu’s Taoist Palace. This Yang God Great Cultivator rarely became so enraged, and his disciples of Yin God Realm were frightened to the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

"Useless! Useless!"

"All useless!"

"Finding one person... is it this difficult?"

Over a dozen Transformed Great Demons, kneeling outside the great hall, didn’t dare to utter a word.

Chi Fu Dragon Lord sat in the main seat, with a cold expression, almost condensing substantial Killing Intent in his eyes...

For a whole year.

His prized disciple "Xuan Jin," after heading south once, vanished into thin air, as if evaporated.

Initially.

He merely permitted Xuan Jin to accompany Cheng Er, leave Heavenly Phoenix Palace, to see if they could seize a "Destiny of Destruction." Who could imagine, Cheng Er directly disappeared with Xuan Jin. The "henchmen" he sent out were taken away by "hostages." What an absurd joke! If this circulated, where would Chi Fu Dragon Lord’s face be?

Xuan Jin and Cheng Er disappeared at Li Lan Mountain.

This case, Chi Fu Dragon Lord had thoroughly investigated from start to finish...

He had even specifically consulted Silver Moon Great Venerable of Erosion Sun Swamp to ensure the information was accurate. After the Li Lan Mountain incident, Xuan Jin and Cheng Er disappeared in Demon Country territory... According to Erosion Sun Swamp intelligence, these two were initially pursued by Cui Zhen, and in desperation, could only flee, but having disappeared a whole year now, the situation was evidently not right.

Whenever Xuan Jin showed up.

Heavenly Phoenix Palace would certainly use an eight-carried sedan to escort him back.

In the world... what kind of pursuit could kill him?

As a last resort.

Cui Zhen now couldn’t even protect himself, where would he have the mind to pursue Xuan Jin?

"Master."

In the Taoist Palace.

A maid cautiously presented a Divine Soul Order, reverently saying, "Venerable Chi Lu from the Western Demon Domain sent a message, saying some clues were discovered in his territory."

"Hmm?"

Chi Fu Dragon Lord squinted his eyes, took the order.

Having presided over Heavenly Phoenix Palace for so many years.

His status was second only to the Great Palace Master...

In terms of cultivation, he might only count as halfway, but in terms of disciples under him, he deserved "thousands of peach and plum blossoms."

Half of the Yin God Venerables in Heavenly Phoenix Palace came from under Chi Fu Dragon Lord’s tutelage. The disciples he cultivated, with outstanding talent, numbered dozens; the least of them were Cave Heaven Realm, each with exceptional qualifications. Once they broke through, they would be pillars of the Demon Country, dispersed to form a natural intelligence network.

Divine Soul Order connected.

Chi Fu Dragon Lord assumed a different demeanor, the whole person becoming much more calm and tranquil.

"Chi Lu."

The fiery light surged in the great hall, opposite was a scene of Water Curtain Cave Heaven.

The one in Water Curtain Cave Heaven was a rather young, handsome figure draped in a Deep Blue Taoist Robe.

"Sir."

Venerable Chi Lu greeted with a bow.

He had cultivated in Heavenly Phoenix Palace for a full sixty years, cultivated to Yin God Realm before returning to his hometown, taking this place as his territory, seldom contacting Heavenly Phoenix Palace usually... but whenever significant events arose, Venerable Chi Lu still had to obey [Heavenly Phoenix Palace] orders.

"Have things been well lately? Heard you have news of ’Xuan Jin’?"

Chi Fu Dragon Lord exerted to maintain his gentleness, yet internally had little patience left, feigning pleasantries and cutting to the chase.

"Sir, recently, someone discovered these items near Lushui Cave Heaven."

Venerable Chi Lu respectfully spoke, taking out some fragments from his sleeve.

"What is this?"

Chi Fu Dragon Lord squinted his eyes, surprised a bit.

"White paper."

Venerable Chi Lu said, "Sir, I visited Taoist Palace two years ago, to pay respects to ’Second Master’... nearby his residence, I had also discovered these fragments... If you ask me, this likely is the residuals of [Paperman Sect] Divine Skill. If Xuan Jin, the junior disciple, is still mixing with that Cheng Er, they should have recently been near Lushui Cave Heaven."

"White paper fragments..."

Chi Fu Dragon Lord slowly recalled.

Indeed.

This was what Cheng Er left behind after wielding Divine Skills.

Back then at that residence, he would visit daily for chess moves, and around the area, these white paper fragments could always be found.

"Thank you."

Chi Fu Dragon Lord took a deep breath, slowly said, "Do not make this widely known. Within these next two days, I will personally visit Lushui Cave Heaven."
