Chapter 2394: The Swallow Does Not Return South

Standing at the absolute peak truly offers a magnificent view!It's not just that all mountains seem small, not just that one glance encompasses the horizon.It's that kind of vast, boundless freedom.Being able to speak what you want to say, do what you want to do, express the principles you've long wanted to voice, and now—The listeners should know how to advance and retreat with discretion!Throughout this journey, he was always a student, a dispensable piece on the chessboard, bait on an iron hook to lure schools of fish. He risked his life, and yet it only made the chess player hesitate a little longer when abandoning the piece. He struggled for his life, and yet it only made him a more conspicuous and delicious target, attracting more fish.There were too many times when he was unwilling, unwilling, yet powerless.Now he is outside the chessboard, proudly standing in the forest of absolute peaks.In this world-wide game of chess, no one can use him as a piece. In this vast human sea, he is also the fisherman."When you reach that position, what will you do?" Many people had asked this question in various ways, many times.He never answered directly, never even seriously thought about the question.Because simply moving forward had already consumed all his strength.When he first set out, he didn't know if he could walk this far.Now is the time to truly face this question.He wants to realize all his youthful ideals, and also, as Zhong Li Yan said—settle old regrets.The names of the Human Demons were heard with swallowed hearts, seen with hateful hearts, profound in ten thousand evils, flaying flesh… Now they no longer exist. Wu Hui Valley should also now be absolute.Jiang Wang did not rashly descend into Wu Hui Valley through the Heavenly Way's deep sea. He worried that the ripples of the Heavenly Way would alert Yan Chun Hui.Instead, he restrained his voice and breath, waiting for a complete encirclement, sealing the four directions up and down, before carrying out a thunderbolt action.Forgetting Self Human Demon, as a contemporary successor of the Flying Sword's three absolute peaks, in an era where flying swords perished, could still achieve an absolute peak with flying sword techniques. He is absolutely not to be underestimated.One must know that even the invincible Xiang Feng Qi in the Cave True realm did not take the final step. Jiang Meng Xiong, who swept across the eight directions, also chose to break his sword for a fist.Although it is said that each path is different, purely from Yan Chun Hui's own cultivation trajectory, he can be completely called someone who defied the era's trend and reached the top.That year at the Star Moon Plain battlefield, Yan Chun Hui's sword poured down the sky-sea, facing the entire battlefield, and indiscriminately chopped down that one sword. Jiang Meng Xiong and Yu Que were both present. Jiang Meng Xiong, with his terrible temper, did not say to immediately kill Yan Chun Hui—from this, one can perhaps also see Yan Chun Hui's strength.He is not easy to kill, and for such a forgetful person, threats are completely meaningless.So Jiang Wang brought in Li Yi, and also moved out Tai Xu Pavilion, inviting Gong Sun Bu Hai, precisely for absolute safety. He swore to flatten Wu Hui Valley in one battle and forever end the Human Demon disaster.He just accidentally added a Zhong Li Yan…What kind of role can a martial dao True Person play in a battle of this level?"Wait a moment when the fight starts, you all don't worry about me."Finally arrived!Zhong Li Yan, who had been rushed along by Jiang Wang, rubbed his neck unhappily, then twisted his arms and lifted his legs, moving his bones.This martial husband's body surged with Qi and blood, crackling like firecrackers.He had already completely entered the fighting state, glancing at Jiang Wang with an arrogant posture, but his tone was rarely serious: "It is I who must participate in this battle, it is I who confirm that I have the qualification to participate in this battle—if my judgment of Yan Chun Hui is inaccurate, if my self-cognition is wrong, I am willing to bear my mistake. No matter the price, Zhong Li Yan accepts it."He really… really wants to become the strongest person.From childhood to adulthood, he absolutely did not suffer any indignity and was unwilling to be a loser.He is unwilling to be the millennium second, even his mom's third, fourth, or fifth.He would always be beaten down, beaten until Dou Zhao was tired, then flip back up and say, "What the hell are you saying?"From the time his old dad beat him, he would ask if his old dad had eaten his fill.Who says that rolling in the mud, with an ugly posture, just cannot reach the name of "strongest"?Who says that if the person in front goes further, he cannot possibly catch up?He absolutely does not submit to anyone!Jiang Wang can receive a sword from Tai Yu True Monarch in the Cave True realm, so where does his Big Master Zhong Li fall behind? Even if he can't receive Yan Chun Hui's sword head-on, is a sideways approach okay? Even if receiving a sword sideways is difficult, then stabbing Yan Chun Hui with a sword is okay?Does Yan Chun Hui dare not completely defend against receiving his full-force sword?As long as he glances sideways because of this one sword, he will influence the battle.Today, three monarchs are fighting the Human Demon. He doesn't believe that he doesn't even have the qualification to be on the periphery.In other words, if he can't even do this now… then he will desperately go and do it.If he doesn't work harder, he really won't be able to catch up.Perhaps he is actually always very serious, just sometimes too absurd, too unrealistic, making it look like a joke.But he is truly, truly, always walking towards the position he recognizes, in his own way.Ha ha ha ha.Go ahead and mock.See if he remembers the grudge after it's all over.As long as a forced smile appears, it will all be recorded in the book—there must be an after-report!However, saying "don't worry about him" at this time was pointless.Li Yi certainly wouldn't worry about him.Gong Sun Bu Hai, while enforcing the law and executing, would be even more impossible to be distracted because of Zhong Li Yan.As for Jiang Wang himself. Since establishing the Chao Wen Dao Heavenly Palace, he has taken Yan Chun Hui as his first sword target upon returning to the world, precisely because he has the greatest vigilance towards Yan Chun Hui.Human Demons rampaged through the columns of countries, spreading fierceness throughout the world.The five heroes of Maple Forest City aimed to eliminate evil.As early as the first time he heard the evil name of the Human Demon, he had already imagined the day he would swing his sword at the hordes of demons. When he killed the West Mountain bandits with a single sword, wasn't that also a charge that continued to this day?From the Swallow Heart Human Demon Bear Ask, to slaying the four adult Human Demons in Broken Soul Gorge, he never relented against the Human Demons. The idea of sweeping Wu Hui Valley had also been brewing for a long time, taking root and sprouting. It was only due to insufficient strength that it could not be carried out.He had reviewed Yan Chun Hui's strength many times and had supplemented a lot of knowledge before taking action. He did not think that he had the qualification to relax when facing Yan Chun Hui, let alone have spare power to protect Zhong Li Yan."With Brother Zhong Li's strength, there is naturally no need for anyone to worry about you. I specifically came to Yu Abyss this time to invite you, precisely because I see your unparalleled killing power—who other than Zhong Li can swing at the hordes of bandits, who other than South Yue can suppress the Human Demon?" Jiang Wang's face was full of sincerity, his gaze burning: "It is known that the Human Demon has nine. Yan Chun Hui is just one of them. Since even you, the first sword of the South Domain, have been invited this time, then eliminate evil thoroughly, leaving none. Brother Zhong Li, leave the eight Human Demons outside of Yan Chun Hui to you. Wait a moment when we arrive in Chen Country, please do not spare your edge!"Zhong Li Yan's short beard curled up, but he still waved his hand steadily and corrected him: "It's the first heavenly pride of the South Domain."Saying he was the first sword of the South Domain, Jiang Wang felt guilty. Lu Frost River was still alive. He really couldn't say "first of the South Domain." Dou Ge's side might not be easily fooled. At this moment, he said seriously: "Human Demons are extremely evil. If one escapes, disaster will spread for thousands of miles. Besides Brother Zhong Li, I don't think there is anyone who can take on this heavy responsibility.""Can you invite that person—" Zhong Li Yan looked at Jiang Wang with expectant eyes: "Isn't there someone named Dou Zhao in your broken pavilion? Is that name right?"Jiang Wang hardened his heart: "How can Dou Zhao compare to a gentleman!""Ai ya, keep your voice down." Zhong Li Yan used two fingers to gently pinch his short beard, his chin also following the lift: "Since your True Monarch Jiang has said so, what else can this humble self say? Just a quarter of an hour, you all only need to hold on for a quarter of an hour. Wait until I solve these troubles, then I will come to help you!"Chen Country's Human Demons are nine, several True Monarchs hitting one, True Person Zhong Li fighting eight.Just as the saying goes, the capable one labors more!Among the various countries in the West Border, Chen Country is truly unremarkable.Although it is located next to the powerful Yong Country, it has been undisturbed for many years. Compared to its equally weak neighbor, Reef Country, which occasionally stirs up trouble, it is much too peaceful. This country is just like Wu Hui Valley within its borders, covered in clouds and hidden in fog, not revealing the truth, never showing any ambition, yet hiding dark dangers, so no one harbors any designs on it.Chen Country has never turned its military front outwards, and Yong cavalry has never stepped foot within its borders.Today, Yong Country is thriving, its national power increasing day by day. Chen Country remains as before, quite possessing a posture of "let the wind and rain fall."It is said that during the extremely prosperous period of the Great Yan Dynasty, a prince named "Yan Sui" was completely defeated in a cruel political struggle. He brought his remaining few followers and fled to the West Border here. Knowing that there was no hope of returning south, his heart was cold and disheartened. The saying goes, "All past events are traces of Chen," "The old nest has fallen, Yan will not return south," thus changing the surname "Yan" to "Chen."His descendants established a country here, which is how "Chen Country" came to be.Of course, all of this is "according to legend," only recorded in some unofficial histories.The Chen Country royal family has never publicly mentioned the Yan surname, and the Great Yan Dynasty has never acknowledged this bloodline.In the official history of Chen Country, the founding emperor Chen Xuan was a woodcutter. In the official history of Yan Country, the prince Yan Sui, who failed to seize the heir, disappeared in a great fire that illuminated the sky.Time changes, how many old things are different from before.The mighty Great Yan Dynasty has already perished, and the weak Chen Country still exists. And it is still weak.Yan Chun Hui protects this country, but seems not to care about the future of this country.Just as he protects the Human Demons under his hand, but also does not care about the life and death of those Human Demons.Wu Hui Valley is not just an external refuge for thieves.Within the borders of Chen Country, there are three famous mountains, named "Meng Chun," "Zhong Chun," and "Ji Chun."There is a slender river that flows, precisely connecting the three mountains, named "Three Chun River."The Three Chun River flows through Floating Light Gorge, forming a winding white ribbon, which is the eastern border of Chen Country.The West Gorge is "Chen," the East Gorge is "Jiao."Zhong Li Yan carried his heavy sword on his shoulder, admiring the reflection of the first heavenly pride of the South Domain in the water…Li Yi, in a set of extremely simple white clothes, hugged his sword and closed his eyes, standing alone on the peak of East Gorge.The water waves were calm, the immortal boat pure white, Jiang Wang in a green shirt held his sword at the bow of the boat, seemingly going leisurely straight down.From this moment on, the entire border of Chen Country is his perception line.Exhausting this one country, inside and outside are not connected.No one's ear can listen outside, no one's eye can see outside.If he wants to exterminate a country's absolute clan, it is just a thought!Standing in such a high place, possessing such power, one inevitably views everything under heaven as grass and trees.Jiang Wang pressed the sword hilt, intentionally sinking his shoulder slightly.When the perception prohibition formed and the orders of the ears and eyes appeared, Gong Sun Bu Hai, in a short, energetic outfit, also appeared as if by fate.In this battle to flatten Wu Hui Valley, Gong Sun Bu Hai, who holds the Criminal Person Palace, is of course the absolute main force, the foundation that holds the entire situation.He not only came himself but also brought the treasure of the Criminal Person Palace, the Cave Heaven treasure "Jing Ji Xi"—At this moment, it was just slung over his back, bound with hemp rope string, like an ordinary small basket. What it contained, non-enforcers could not peek at."Xi" originally means a vessel for holding food or clothes, and also has the meaning of "with this burden."Xi are mostly woven with bamboo strips, vine skin, reed skin, and also include the use of Jing strips. Some are even lacquered and painted with silk threads, while common ones are just woven from rough strips.The Criminal Person Palace's "Jing Ji Xi," as the name suggests, is woven from Jing strips. Its original body was the seventeenth of the thirty-six small Cave Heavens, "Tai Xuan Fa Le Tian." In the middle ancient era, Xue Gui refined this Cave Heaven, achieving the supreme treasure of the law family, and it has been worshipped in the Criminal Palace for generations.Disciples of the law family have always had the tradition of "carrying Jing, hanging a ruler, hiding a rope," traveling the world to promote the rule of law.All three Criminal Palaces' disciples, during their study tour, carried the specially used "Jing" to punish evil, which is taken from the "Jing Ji Xi."Every time they went out of the mountain, they would break off a branch, and the bloodstains were the marks of their travels.After the end of their study tour, these three Criminal Palace disciples would all throw their Jing into the Xi. The Jing Ji Xi would review the punishments imposed by the law family disciples on this path, checking if there was any "abuse of punishment." This process of putting Jing and receiving Jing is a cultivation that the disciples of the three Criminal Palaces must undergo, and it also nurtures the "Jing Ji Xi" itself.Generations of law family disciples, using their own experiences and their own adherence, have added luster to this supreme treasure of the law family. Gradually, by now, it has already possessed unimaginable power. If Cave Heaven treasures had a convincing ranking, among the treasures refined in the thirty-six small Cave Heavens, the Jing Ji Xi would absolutely not be just seventeen.Just like the Tai Xu Pavilion today, after the Tai Xu Pavilion order was established, its power also increased day by day. The Tai Xu Pavilion maintains the authority of the Tai Xu Pavilion, and while maintaining the order of the Tai Xu Illusion, it also uses this order to nurture the Tai Xu Pavilion itself."Sect Master Gong Sun!" Jiang Wang bowed in salute.Gong Sun Bu Hai is also a decisive nature. He merely nodded lightly, then stepped forward without hesitation.This step was like lifting a guillotine.The Three Chun River divided and flowed, a gap visible from heaven!Jiang Wang, standing on the perception immortal boat, and Li Yi, facing him on the East Cliff peak, almost simultaneously followed.As the three monarchs stepped into Chen Country at this moment, this battle to eradicate the Human Demon began!Jing Ji danced in the air, and in an instant, heaven and earth were like a bamboo cage.This West Chen Country was all a forest of Jing Ji. The Jing thorns were not bright, but merely by gazing at them, one would feel pain!How could it be said that it was also a complete country, with tens of thousands of armored soldiers, hundreds of thousands of people, and also civil and military officials, meritorious ministers, and fierce generals? Under the cover of this terrifying power, there was not even a hint of resistance, not even the country's momentum could be embodied, as if it were a terrifying giant beast, swallowing it in one gulp.The Law Xi had already taken over the authority of this country, and before the Law Xi, True Monarch Jiang had already taken the first step to restrain the entire country's perception.Messages could not be transmitted. Communication was impossible.Above the high sky, the sun and moon were not visible, only the virtual shadows of heavy pavilions.Tai Xu Pavilion suppresses Chen Country!In less than a breath's time, Jiang Wang and Li Yi appeared outside the border, Gong Sun Bu Hai immediately followed, and then… the seal was complete.From the blue sky down to the Yellow Springs, almost all exits were banned, leaving no possibility for a single gap to escape.Boom rumble!A giant sword tilted from a mountain peak, pushing away the sea of clouds, flying horizontally above Chen Country."South Yue suppresses West Chen, one sword across the human world!"Zhong Li Yan, his Qi and blood rampant, landed in the imperial palace of West Chen Country, standing above the glazed green tiles, proudly at the peak of this country's imperial power, shouting wildly: "Great Chu's Zhong Li Yan, now executing demons for the world. Those who block must die, those who hide will also die!"The guest of the Third Prince of West Chen Country, now the seventh Human Demon, with a wonderful figure and an ageless appearance, "Drink Blood Demon," was directly ground into meat paste by the violent sword Qi. The fresh blood he had drunk over the years flowed wantonly on the ground bricks, actually becoming a pool of blood.That noble adult prince of West Chen Country raised both hands, trembling and covering his eyes."Ah! Ah, ah—"The panicked sharp voice also stopped abruptly, suppressed in the human world by the South Yue sword.True Person Zhong Li said, "those who hide will also die," and he did not say it in vain. All under heaven, without exception. The entire West Chen Country, except for the emperor representing the country's system, whom he could not kill casually, anyone else could not make the South Yue sword hesitate for half a moment.The hundred officials huddled in the corner of the hall, the country's lord prostrated on the dragon chair, and the ten thousand troops dared not speak.Of course, before Big Master Zhong Li made his move, Da Luo Mountain's "Under Heaven Li Yi" had already appeared outside Wu Hui Valley.That sword, white clothes like a banner, was extraordinarily sharp.But someone gazing from afar could only see between heaven and earth, seemingly a great snow, a vast expanse of dazzling white.Tai Yu True Monarch's sword is not out of its sheath, and the fog of Wu Hui Valley is completely dispelled!I really didn't expect the new volume to just open and the accumulated reading to only be ninety-two thousand…The pressure is immense.At my age, I already don't sleep much.Everyone can really save it up and then read it later.Because many things are not yet fully laid out, plus the emotional aspects are intertwined with a very fast writing speed, it really needs a little time.I bear the burden of your deep love, I am grateful.I will go eat a feast at noon and come back in the afternoon to continue working.
