Chapter 122 The Missing Master
After dealing with the falling meteorite and the dream clone of [Whisper], Xian'er gently shook her head and floated back into the fasting hall.
As expected, the recovery was still far from satisfactory.
The Zhuxian Sword itself was severely damaged in the war of the gods a hundred years ago.
Throughout this cycle, she has been constantly trying to recover her vitality.
Unfortunately, over the past century, the vital energy of heaven and earth has become increasingly scarce, which has made her repair progress very slow.
Even after absorbing the power of several sacred artifacts, she can only unleash one-third of the original power of the Zhuxian Sword.
Furthermore, this immortal power diminishes with each use.
This is also one of the reasons why the Immortal Execution Sword chose to follow Li Jie.
Although the sword spirit Xian'er harbors secret feelings for Li Jie, these external conditions alone are not enough to make a god-slaying sword follow her unconditionally.
Li Jie himself has an extremely strong affinity for the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and his [Great Yellow Court] can also replicate and radiate the primordial energy of heaven and earth at any time.
This is why the Zhuxian Sword itself has been nurtured in Li Jie's Qi Sea.
After this battle, it's likely that Xian'er won't be able to fight for a long time. Forcibly releasing the Zhuxian Sword Intent could easily destroy her spiritual body or injure Li Jie himself.
When Xian'er appeared in front of the six people, apart from Li Jie looking at her with a smile in his eyes, the other five little ones looked away and dared not look directly at the fairy in front of them.
"What... happened to them?"
Upon hearing Xian'er's question, Li Jie was about to explain.
An Qingyu, whose thinking was still relatively normal, spoke first.
"It's alright, sister-in-law, we're just checking for enemy activity nearby."
Xian'er and Li Jie: Enemy Situation?
Besides Anqingyu, the other four little ones are: Wucao, Xiaoyuer, and you!
An Qingyu: Basic operation, don't be silly~
"It's alright now, there's no other aura around here, hmm?..."
"It seems... someone I know is coming."
Upon hearing An Qingyu's words, Xian'er initially thought she hadn't properly handled the situation here. However, when she used her divine sense to search, she discovered two familiar auras approaching from afar.
Li Jie, who was of one mind with Xian'er, immediately understood that it seemed Commander Ye and Director Zuo had arrived.
But Master... why hasn't he returned yet after such a terrible incident...?
Pulling herself out of her thoughts, Xian'er spoke to Li Jie.
"I'm going back now. You can handle the rest."
"Okay, you get some rest. We'll talk again after we've finished dealing with this."
After saying that, Xian'er, along with the Zhuxian Sword, transformed into a ray of white light and floated back into Li Jie's body.
This scene left the remaining five children speechless, their astonished expressions sending chills down Li Jie's spine.
“You guys, act normal… It’s been so long since we last met, and you still look like you’ve never seen the world before.”
Upon hearing Li Jie's words, they did not reply, but instead turned around in unison, put their arms around each other's shoulders, and whispered among themselves.
"See, see, I told you my sister-in-law was a ghost, but you didn't believe me..."
"Seven Nights, what you said actually makes some sense..."
"Exactly... Look, my sister-in-law, the female ghost, doesn't have a physical form. Floating in mid-air, what else could she be but a ghost..."
"But she was really beautiful... even if she were a ghost, it wouldn't be so hard to accept~"
As soon as Baili Pangpang uttered those words, the four people beside him seemed to have heard something terrifying, and instantly distanced themselves from him.
It's like saying, "If you're looking for trouble, don't drag us down with you."
Seeing this, Li Jie helplessly slapped his forehead.
Explaining Xian'er's situation to this bunch of clowns seems to be quite troublesome...
"Excuse me, could you please speak a little quieter? I can hear you, and your sister-in-law can hear you too..."
Hey?
Li Jie's words instantly froze the five people in place.
Just as they were wondering what to do, two beams of light, one golden and one blue, came hurtling in from afar.
Just half an hour ago.
A sharp alarm suddenly sounded at the Night Watch headquarters.
In less than a minute, the intelligence department delivered the detailed information about the attack on the fasting place to Ye Fan's desk.
Ye Fan frowned slightly as he looked at the report.
He then dialed an internal phone number and summoned Zuo Qing to his office.
Within a year, thanks to his outstanding military achievements, Zuo Qing has been promoted to Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Night Watch and Director of the Special Operations Division through a high-level resolution.
His office has now moved from the mountain valley to headquarters.
When Ye Fan handed the intelligence to Zuo Qing, he stood up, put on his cloak, and greeted the latter as they walked and talked.
Actually, the whole thing was strange. Logically, if the fasting place was attacked, the first person to discover it should have been the Master.
However, when the [Suppressing Ruins Stele] hidden in his heart's 'landscape' was damaged, the Master, as one of the pinnacles of humanity, did not react at all.
Still worried, Ye Fan finally called Zuo Qing to go to the scene to check.
Hopefully, it's not too late...
The fasting place is located on an isolated island in the southeast of the Great Xia territory, and it is indeed quite a long journey from Shangjing City.
As the two of them approached the fasting place, they sensed an ancient yet sharp sword aura emanating from it.
This fluctuation...
Have they already started fighting?
Who is the master of this sword intent...?
Did you inform Zhou Ping?
In mid-air, Zuo Qing, surrounded by azure flames, asked a question.
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan shook his head slightly.
"I didn't have time. After receiving the intelligence, I only told you."
"Who could be the one who unleashed this terrifying sword intent?"
"We'll be there soon, we'll know in no time..."
In fact, Zuo Qing had a very bold idea.
He felt that this sword energy was likely created by the little guy Ye Fan had thrown onto the east coast a year ago.
But... only a year has passed.
How could he unleash a sword intent that even he found startling?
Ye Fan also had this guess, but neither of them said it.
As the commander-in-chief, Ye Fan probably knows more than Zuo Qing.
But no matter what, he's just a newcomer.
This made them all unsure whether it was Li Jie who had caused the commotion.
When they arrived and saw the horrific scene, their expressions all turned solemn.
The corpses scattered on the ground, the shattered high walls, and the ground marked with deep sword marks all testify to the fierce battle that had just taken place.
Apart from Li Jie and his six companions, there were no other living figures in the arena.
Could it be that... the remaining prisoners all escaped?
