Chapter 76: Sword Light Like a Rainbow
Chapter 76: Sword Light Like a Rainbow
As night fell, the bonfire blazed brightly, illuminating the faces of those present.
The remaining captains took turns guarding key points, their eyes sharp and vigilant, not missing even the slightest movement.
"Will there be a fight?"
Wang Meng anxiously rubbed his hands together, "Probably not, right? The Qingfeng Mountain Grandmaster ate too much, and now he's going to pick a fight with General Chen over a disciple?"
"He's the most likely successor to the Grandmaster."
Liu Daqian corrected him, "Qingfeng Mountain's reputation as a sword sage for nearly a hundred years is largely due to his exploits. He's a true sword sage."
"Could such a person be a transformed evil serpent?"
Wang Meng clicked his tongue, then suddenly whispered, "If he really is an evil serpent, wouldn't it be considered a return to the righteous path?"
"Shh!" Liu Daqian kicked him.
General Chen is here to slay demons, and this kid is praising a demon here. Is he trying to rebel?
"But he has many wives, and they often get abducted. After all, he has a reputation as a sword sage. Could it be that he offended the Serpent Demon of Yangchun River, and while he was away, the demon forcefully took his concubine, just to spite him?" Another captain moved closer.
"Regardless, hand over the person, and we'll take them back to the Demon Suppressing Bureau for interrogation. Everything will be clear then."
Liu Daqian sighed and glared at his two colleagues, "If they still refuse, once General Chen decides to kill, Qingfeng Sect will have to change its name to Blood Peak Sect."
"I was scared before, but now it seems like we've gained a huge advantage."
Wang Meng chuckled, "According to what Deputy Commander Hong said, the old Grandmaster is just hesitating for a couple more days. With our luck, and the Jade Dew Realm experts by our side, nothing major will happen!"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze towards the nearby youth standing with his arms crossed.
Shen Yi listened to the conversation while her profound eyes silently watched the dense forest.
So, there won't be a fight?
Then, what is she afraid of?
If they hand over the Sword Sage, the Demon Suppressing Bureau will naturally withdraw from the mountain.
Qingfeng Mountain will remain the top sword sect in Qingzhou, so what's there to fear?
Time passed swiftly.
Several captains stood up to take over the shift, and those returning to the camp ate a quick meal before entering the tent to rest.
Dai Bing, holding her sword, returned from the forest.
She seemed to have lost her appetite.
Sitting by the bonfire, she caught a glimpse of Shen Yi's figure leaning against a tree with her arms crossed, slowly moving. Suddenly, Dai Bing spoke, "You haven't slept all night. Did Hong Lei ask you to keep an eye on me?"
Shen Yi took a step without confirming or denying.
Dai Bing's lips curled in self-mockery, "Afraid of letting one person escape, are you so eager to harm a group of innocent people? No, they're not just innocent, they're sword sages who guard against demons."
She watched as the youth walked further away.
Suddenly, Dai Bing became a bit agitated, gripping the three cloud patterns on her sleeve, "I've served the Demon Suppressing Bureau for twenty years, and I still can't earn your trust? Why can't you believe me just this once!"
Shen Yi glanced at her slightly, "I believe you."
"..."
Dai Bing's breathing became erratic, and she was momentarily lost in thought. Then, she heard the rest of his words.
"Then I'm a fool."
Shen Yi turned back and stepped into the damp forest.
This woman is almost wearing her thoughts on her face; even if Chen Ji were here, he'd see it.
Shen Yi wasn't one to make judgments about something without knowing the truth first.
The only thing he knew for sure was...
After hearing so many rumors, they still haven't heard from the Sword Sage about his concubine sneaking into the county office, giving birth to an evil serpent, and then being devoured, leaving not even a bone. No one has provided a reasonable explanation.
Even an ordinary captain could make up a reason, yet the Sword Sage hasn't.
He's just staying on the mountain, relying on Qingfeng Mountain's protection, continuing to stand against the Demon Suppressing Bureau.
He's determined not to have any more shame.
Oh, almost forgot.
Apart from this, Shen Yi also knew one more thing.
He remained silent, his lips pressed together, and he reached out to cover his heart.
That familiar aura, faint yet never-ending, whether it was a Sword Sage or a Draconic Demon, it was certain that there was a Draconic Demon on Qingfeng Mountain.
To actually be able to sense something.
It was just unknown whether this sensation was one-sided or if the other party could also perceive it.
Just this discovery alone made this trip worthwhile.
...
The sun and moon took turns, and three days passed in a flash.
The captains had caught rabbits and pheasants in the dense forest, but not a single Qingfeng disciple was found.
Hundreds and thousands of disciples showed no signs of movement, and the Fury Sword Elder on the high cliff was like a withered tree, not even his sparse silver hair moved, as if the only reason he appeared was to guard the Sword Observing Canyon and prevent the Demon Suppressing Bureau from tarnishing their reputation.
Wang Meng grilled chicken on a slate and handed a piece to Shen Yi, then another to Dai Bing.
These two Jade Dew Realm powerhouses were their lifeline, and they had to eat their fill.
"..."
Shen Yi chewed on the bland and slightly fishy meat, and suddenly thought of Lin Baiwei.
No wonder she could taste everything with such joy.
If she ate for half a year, she might even learn her culinary skills.
By his side, Dai Bing swallowed the chicken expressionlessly, one hand resting on her sword sheath.
She seemed to want to fill her stomach with everything she could.
This familiar scene made Shen Yi glance at her sleeve.
The others were fine, but it was a pity to waste twenty years of hard work.
On the slate that was taken away, the oil stains gradually cooled, and the bonfire dimmed.
Several captains stood up as usual to patrol the dense forest.
But suddenly, they heard Shen Yi's voice.
"I'll take the night watch, go and rest."
Upon hearing this, Wang Meng and the others were stunned, and they smiled bitterly, "Lord Shen is too polite, we've been on duty for decades, and we've never seen anything like this."
After a few days of getting along, they also knew that Shen Yi never spoke empty words.
After thanking him in unison, they all went into their tents.
Dai Bing's grip on her sword tightened, and she looked at the youth slowly rising nearby. In the dim firelight, his pale face was indistinct.
Although she didn't understand how he had guessed it when she was clearly trying to hide it.
Suddenly, she softened for a moment, "You should rest too, I'll take the night watch."
The youth was handsome, talented, intelligent, and young, except for being annoying when arguing, there was hardly any fault to find.
It would be a pity to die at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain like this.
After the other party had personally said they didn't believe it, her words could almost be considered a clear hint.
Under Dai Bing's gaze, Shen Yi patted his sleeves and said softly, "Hurry up, I'm in a rush."
Not even the Demon Suppressing Bureau could scare this woman, and he didn't want to waste more words.
"..."
As his voice fell, the young woman slowly closed her eyes, indeed... still annoying.
She drew her sword from its sheath.
The sharp sword's ringing sound came from the opposite dense forest.
Brilliant golden light converged into a point and then transformed into a soaring dragon, a spectacular sight!
The man in the clerk's robe had sharp eyes, a calm expression, and held a three-foot green blade.
The formidable aura of the Jade Dew Realm was unleashed without reservation, and in the dense forest, a tree as thick as a man's embrace was completely broken and collapsed in front of the remaining sword aura!
This sword move was the result of a hundred years of practice!
In the face of the surging sword aura.
Shen Yi's hair fluttered slightly, his figure stood straight, and his black shirt rustled.
Only his pitch-black eyes slowly filled with golden light.
