Remould the Glory of Sword Art-Chapter 1263 - 173: Li Lan’s Wind and Snow (Part 2)

Chapter 1263: Chapter 173: Li Lan’s Wind and Snow (Part 2)

Who knows if the Da Chu Dynasty will have another great cultivator descending?

"A person?"

The second son, Huang Che, raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Brother, you are referring to the Da Chu Dynasty?"

Huang Qi nodded solemnly, letting out a light ’hmm’.

"This place is not too far from Da Chu..."

He instinctively looked back.

This iron cavalry, using the Xuanwei Technique to borrow the path, traveled northward and saw the broken post stations established by the Da Chu Dynasty more than once. Before the Holy Empress deposed the garrison commander, this area was a "territory" strictly governed by the Da Chu Dynasty. Although those post stations were broken, some array talismans were not completely worn out.

Huang Qi was deeply impressed; these post stations hung tattered battle flags.

With the surname of the commander engraved upon them.

Xin.

"The Li Lan Mountain Territory has been deserted for many years, and if nothing goes wrong, no one will come here."

Huang Hao looked at the eldest son, his voice wide and thick, "Are you worried that someone from Da Chu will come here through a transmission array?"

"No need to worry... those post stations you saw on the way will no longer be used."

"Why?"

Huang Qi was taken aback.

"If I remember correctly, the garrison commander responsible for guarding this territory was named Xin Ning."

Huang Hao squinted his eyes, and slowly said, "The Holy Empress of Da Chu dismissed the garrison commander and summoned all the generals from the Northern Territory back to the Imperial City... Some followed the decree southward, while others refused the imperial decree."

The words "refusing the imperial decree" were uttered very lightly.

But they made Huang Qi’s heart tremble.

He knew very well.

The consequences of refusing the imperial decree.

"...What happened next?" He couldn’t help asking.

"Next?"

Huang Hao shook his head, "You know, the Northern Territory is very cold. Those who refused to follow the imperial command naturally froze to death."

...

...

"What did you say?"

Northern Border Great Wall East Line, Xuantie Pass.

A deep angry shout erupted like a clap of thunder, making the thunderclouds in the sky tumble and roll!

Xuantie Pass was the city commanded to be guarded by the Da Sui Sword Palace, located on the west side of the Sea Suppression Platform, serving as an important stronghold.

The great cultivator ordered to guard this place was none other than Zhao Tongtian.

Just a few hours before.

A crimson light shot into the sky, wrapped in immense demon energy, landing at Xuantie Pass.

For a moment, the Great Array trembled.

Everyone assumed a great demon was attacking... until the visitor revealed their identity.

Ci Jing personally delivered the news of Lian Venerate’s reincarnation to Xuantie Pass.

Zhao Tongtian was overjoyed and wanted to immediately control his sword northward, heading straight for Li Lan Mountain.

Unexpectedly.

The Snow Master, followed by the Black Scale Guards, arrived at Xuantie Pass shortly after Ci Jing.

And then...

Came the shout heard earlier.

Zhao Tongtian stood with his hands behind his back on the wall of Xuantie Pass, his demeanor clouded with dark emotions.

Looking at the Snow Master, he suppressed his anger and coldly asked, "If I’m not to head north, why tell me this news?"

These people were acting on Chen Jingxuan’s orders, coming to Xuantie Pass to stop him from going north!

How absurd!

"Master of Law, please calm your anger."

The Snow Master, not skilled in words, was persuaded by Sang Zheng, who spoke up.

Sang Zheng first made a respectful bow, then sincerely explained, "This divination was indeed a coincidence. The accumulated fortune of many years from Golden Turtle Peak has been returned to the Sword Palace by the master..."

"There’s no need to tell me this."

Zhao Tongtian took a deep breath, having little patience left.

For him, the fact that Golden Turtle Peak’s accumulated fortune over the years hadn’t been exhausted was certainly a good thing.

But...

Right now, nothing was more important than finding Lian Venerate’s reincarnation body!

If Chen Jingxuan chose to inform me... why stop me?

"Master of Law is a person of utmost strength and determination."

With a bowed posture, Sang Zheng respectfully remembered Chen Jingxuan’s instructions before his retreat, and said word by word, "The master said, if it was not reported before, it would be the Book Tower’s dereliction of duty. If we do not stop now, it would equally be the Book Tower’s dereliction of duty."

"How can there be talk of dereliction of duty for the Book Tower..."

Zhao Tongtian’s heart still held anger, but facing the words spoken by Chen Jingxuan, he couldn’t muster anger, and only sighed.

After all.

He owed Chen Jingxuan a great favor.

A lifetime of cultivation.

His only "obsession" was the news of Lian Venerate’s reincarnation... now that this information had come to light, the Book Tower had not claimed even a shred of fortune.

Just this one matter, this one act of grace.

Is worth Zhao Tongtian repaying with the rest of his life.

"Master of Law has been guarding Xuantie Pass, and in the past half year, he has clashed with the Silver Moon Great Venerable of Erosion Sun Swamp three times."

Sang Zheng continued following Chen Jingxuan’s instructions, slowly speaking: "Because of Da Sui Sword Palace’s defense, the entire Northern Border Great Wall East Line is as solid as gold and soup."

"Naturally."

Zhao Tongtian frowned, calmly said: "This is what I ought to do."

"In this battle proceeding thus far, if we speak of the Northern Border Great Wall, the person most hated by the Demon Country, Master of Law ranks in the top three."

Sang Zheng continued.

"Perhaps..."

Zhao Tongtian still frowned, not understanding the meaning of these words.

"At such a critical juncture, if Master of Law heads north."

Sang Zheng paused, asking, "How would the Demon Country think?"

Zhao Tongtian instinctively spoke: "About the matter of guarding Xuantie Pass, I have already made arrangements..."

He is the most crucial Great Divine Ability User on the Northern Border Great Wall East Line.

This trip to Li Lan Mountain counts as "leaving one’s post without permission."

However...

With his divine skills, he has already determined a general location, how long would it take to find a reincarnation body?

As long as someone is guarding the city during his absence.

Then it won’t hinder the overall situation.

"Master of Law is mistaken."

Sang Zheng shook his head, speaking solemnly: "Sir knows that even if Master of Law leaves briefly, Xuantie Pass remains as solid as gold and soup."

He turned to look at the Great Demon Ci Jing beside Zhao Tongtian.

He changed the subject.

"What if... those Great Demons of the Demon Country don’t head for Xuantie Pass at all?"

Upon these words.

Zhao Tongtian fell into silence.

The pupils of the Great Demon Ci Jing also slightly contracted.

"I... understand your sir’s meaning now..."

Zhao Tongtian lowered his eyelids.

He had completely calmed down.

As the Master of Law at Da Sui Sword Palace, having gone through two Southern and Northern wars, Zhao Tongtian is certainly not a reckless and impulsive person, there are few things in this world that could cause him to lose "reason," the news of Lian Venerate’s reincarnation body happens to be one.

Chen Jingxuan did not use Xuantie Pass for persuasion.

Zhao Tongtian is eager to set out precisely because he cares about the safety of that reincarnation body...

Sometimes.

The faster you act, the greater the error.

A solemn Xuantie Pass official, as stable as a mountain Da Sui Sword Palace’s Master of Law, suddenly heading north to Li Lan Mountain.

When this news breaks.

How would it trigger a thunderous storm?

Even those Great Demons with little interest, upon hearing this news, would want to join the excitement.

Zhao Tongtian can certainly try to conceal his breath, stealthily head north... but in this Southern and Northern war, there is a Great Divine Ability User hidden behind Heavenly Phoenix Palace, proficient in deducing with divinations. On the chessboard, even the slightest Qi Mechanism change could evoke suspicion.

"Master of Law, at this moment guarding Xuantie Pass, is both prioritizing the overall situation and considering personal aspects."

Sang Zheng said sincerely.

"Roundabout, clouded in mist."

Having listened for a long time, Ci Jing frowned and said: "After hearing for a long time, I understand... this old fellow is being watched by the Demon Country, once he heads north, not only will Xuantie Pass get attacked, but Li Lan Mountain over there will also face encirclement, is that what you mean?"

"...Yes."

Sang Zheng scratched his head awkwardly.

"Exactly, the old fellow can’t go, I will go."

Ci Jing’s eyes gleamed with excitement, immediately he was about to soar and head straight for the Northern Territory.

"You go to hell."

Zhao Tongtian spoke irritably, directly pressing down the eager Vermilion Bird Demon.

"???"

Ci Jing’s eyes widened.

"Behind Heavenly Phoenix Palace, they are extremely sensitive to the sensing of bloodlines of top Great Demons like you."

Zhao Tongtian sighed and said: "Did you forget... how Xiao Lian was besieged back then?"

Upon these words.

The Vermilion Bird Demon immediately wilted, crestfallen.

"Your sir, having sent you to stop me, naturally also has a solution."

Zhao Tongtian slowly turned to Sang Zheng.

"There is a solution."

Sang Zheng paused for a moment, then said seriously: "Sir said, heading north this time, you need to be as low-key as possible, not drawing attention. At the same time, you need to have extraordinary strength, enough to quell incidents. The best... would be a Yin God cultivator."
