Remould the Glory of Sword Art-Chapter 1245 - 156: Future Sect Leader (Part 2)

Qing State. Qingyang City.

Jiang Family Residence.

Snowflakes fluttered down as a stunning woman was brewing tea and medicine in front of a stove in the courtyard.

A hiss echoed.

The void shattered.

The swirling snow in the courtyard was startled by the Sword Qi, scattering in all directions.

Jiang Miaoyin looked up.

She saw a figure in black robes walking out from the heavy snow.

"Senior Brother?"

Jiang Miaoyin smiled slightly.

Not long ago, the two had parted ways at the Sword Palace.

Xie Xuanyi had gone directly to Jiayong Pass, while she returned to Qing State to visit the Jiang Family.

At this moment, Xie Xuanyi wore a large cloak and held a communication order in his palm.

He had pondered for a long time on Lotus Peak.

Originally, he intended to use the communication order to directly contact Old Sir Jiang...

But a vision of divine travel surfaced in his mind, and Xie Xuanyi decided to personally visit Qing State.

During this period.

His junior sister had not sent him any messages.

It seemed...

There were indeed some problems in Qing State.

As expected.

Upon entering the courtyard, Xie Xuanyi smelled a familiar medicinal aroma.

In the Petal World, Jiang Miaoyin would brew tea and medicine for the old sir just like this, taking care of him every day.

"How is the old sir’s health?"

Xie Xuanyi sighed softly, taking off the cloak from his shoulder and draping it over Jiang Miaoyin, asking with concern.

"..."

Jiang Miaoyin was about to speak.

A perfectly timed low cough sounded from inside the house.

"Xiao Xie, I finally hoped you’d come."

The old man inside the house began to speak with a smile, his voice robust yet evidently hoarse and weak: "The matters at Jiayong Pass, Sea Suppression Platform, and the Li Kingdom... I’ve heard it all... Well done!"

As he spoke, he coughed.

The old sir got up, wearing only a thin garment, intending to go out.

Jiang Miaoyin quickly got up to support him.

Xie Xuanyi was a step faster.

He supported the old sir back into the house and directly transmitted a wisp of Undying Spring Water Vapor infused with Life Dao Intent.

"Hmm???"

Jiang Lie had never experienced divine travel.

He widened his eyes, staring at Xie Xuanyi in disbelief.

"What is this thing—"

Old Sir Jiang, whose body had always been robust, hadn’t fallen ill even once since the end of the Battle of Poison.

He never expected.

That he would fall gravely ill in the year before the outbreak of the second North-South war.

Perhaps it was the accumulated karma from years of battlefield campaigns suddenly erupting.

The deep-seated power of cause and effect was impossible for him to resist... He couldn’t even leave Qingyang City.

Let alone go to the front lines of the battlefield.

Just a year ago.

He had fought to the death with a vile traitor from the Chu Family, who secretly communicated with the Erosion Sun Swamp, and withstood an attack of Manifestation Divine Power from the Sun Eater Venerable!

During this period, the Jiang Family had sought countless renowned doctors.

To no avail.

Using the precious Primordial Pill, combined with various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, they barely stabilized the old sir’s condition.

Jiang Lie had already prepared for the worst.

But...

After just three breaths of contact with Xie Xuanyi.

He suddenly felt as if his backbone had become more robust!

Is this the power of the Life Dao Realm?

Why does it feel so different?

Wasn’t he also at Yin God Peak... How could the power of the Life Dao Realm be so formidable?

"Please, have a seat."

Xie Xuanyi helped the old sir to sit down.

He smiled and gave Jiang Miaoyin a meaningful look.

Having experienced divine travel once, Jiang Miaoyin’s expression became subtly peculiar, but she obediently closed the door of the house.

After closing the door.

Jiang Miaoyin quickly left, heading to a secluded spot, leaning against a stone wall and pressing her hand to her chest.

At this moment, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and her cheeks were flushed with a hint of blush.

If she remembered correctly.

During that divine travel, after Xie Xuanyi and the old sir had a conversation in the room.

There was... that marriage arrangement.

Would this time be any different...

...

...

"Yu Li, that fool."

Jiang Lie sat on the bed, listening to Xie Xuanyi briefly recount the incident in Jiangning.

The old sir’s beard and hair stood with anger.

That Yu Family head... was indeed once his trusted lieutenant.

But after the end of the Battle of Poison.

Yu Li did not return to Qing State with him; instead, he bid farewell. Jiang Lie, who never hesitated to groom his former subordinates, had given Yu Li considerable support, helping the Yu Family establish a foothold in Jiangning. Even during the decade when the Xie Family was at its zenith, Yu Li, by virtue of being a "Jiang Family’s trusted confidant," still gained many benefits. In these years, no genius had emerged in the Yu Family, but through the relationship with the Jiang Family, they managed to cultivate a "Yin God Venerable."

Yet unfortunately.

For some people, no amount of resources can make them succeed.

"Xiao Xie, you did nothing wrong in this matter."

Jiang Lie calmed down, thought for a moment, and said seriously: "Regarding the Jiangning affair, the Jiang Family will absolutely not intervene. I support all your decisions, even if it means removing Yu Family’s head, that’s completely fine..."

At this moment.

The Jiang Family head wasn’t just seeing the trifling affair in Jiangning.

After the great battle at Lotus Peak.

The Holy Empress fell.

Jiang Lie knew very well, even if "Zhao Chunyang" had achieved great accomplishments, after such a fierce battle, it would be difficult for him to take charge of the bigger picture again.

Clearly, the current authority of the Sword Palace belonged to Xie Xuanyi.

As the future Sect Leader of the Sword Palace, Xie Xuanyi must establish enough authority within the territory of Da Chu!

The incident with the Yu Family...

In a small sense, it was about being insatiably greedy and foolish.

In a larger sense, it was challenging the authority of the Sword Palace!

"Actually, for such a minor thing, you didn’t have to come to Qing State personally..."

Jiang Lie paused, his tone carrying a hint of guilt: "If it’s not offensive, I can immediately order my son to handle the matter in Jiangning!"

He knew.

Xie Xuanyi, this time, was really giving him a lot of respect. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

After all, these were former subordinates, but could the Jiang Family actually support the Yu Family in severing ties with the Da Sui Sword Palace?

His influence, as it were, was considerable, but how could it compare to Xie Xuanyi?

"Such a trivial matter, there’s no need to trouble Qihu."

Xie Xuanyi shook his head, speaking warmly: "The war at the Northern Border Great Wall is tense; he should focus his energy on the great task of resisting the Demon Country... Regarding the Jiangning matter, I’ve already arranged for Si Qi to handle it."

"Very well, very well."

Jiang Lie felt somewhat reassured after hearing the arrangement.

"Actually, my visit to Qing State this time wasn’t just for this matter."

Xie Xuanyi paused, then smiled and asked: "Old sir, how are you feeling physically now?"

"...Much better."

Jiang Lie sighed with emotion: "Your Life Dao Realm is truly formidable. I fear even a Zen Master’s reincarnation might not have such efficacy in this realm, right?"

"Certainly not..."

Xie Xuanyi silently thought to himself: "Because... I added the Undying Spring."

Even if his heart thought this.

Xie Xuanyi couldn’t say it out loud.

"How could I compare with a Zen Master?"

Xie Xuanyi smiled and said: "Years of warfare have entangled you with karma. This illness has severely injured your Primordial Energy; my ’Life Dao Realm’ happens to resolve it... Old sir, you should take good care of yourself during this period, and I will visit you regularly."

"So..."

Jiang Lie sighed.

He tightly grasped Xie Xuanyi’s hand and asked hoarsely: "Xiao Xie, did you come to Qing State this time just to see these old bones of mine?"

"..."

Hearing this, Xie Xuanyi suddenly felt a slight thud in his heart.

He knew.

A familiar scene was likely to unfold again.
