Daoist Master Of Qing Xuan Chapter 493 - Sword of the Emperor

Chapter 493 - Sword of the Emperor

Shen Lian said to Lei Jing, "Go, sleep for a while."

Lei Jing fell asleep for real as she was truly exhausted. This slumber was especially unstable. She had many dreams. In her dreams, there was Shen Lian, her uncle, endless mountains filled with corpses and sea filled with blood. It was very hard for her to wake up.

Shen Lian walked out of Zhiwei Home. Within the school now, ivy blanketed everywhere and the green trees provided shades. The Xia Ca.n.a.l that was introduced by Shen Lian was now nouris.h.i.+ng the grounds in the school.

Besides Guan Longzi, n.o.body else knew what methods Shen Lian had used to divert the water from the Xia Ca.n.a.l since there was no way of noticing it from the outside.

Wuding stopped by the stream of running water within the school. He used a piece of wood and carved out a sword that was the same as the original green copper sword. He swung and danced with the sword while enjoying the morning breeze.

He was a withdrawn person who hardly communicated with the people from his clan. Even though he had become Guan Zilong's student, there was nothing that could be exchanged with those people. Furthermore, that Fei Zhong had an unknowable hostility towards him.

"Has anyone told you that you are not suitable for learning the sword?"

Wuding looked back and he was unsure when Shen Lian had appeared on the green gra.s.sland not far away from him. The gra.s.s was very soft and yet he could easily stand on the tip of the gra.s.s, not crus.h.i.+ng any of the leaves.

Even Wuding could not tell whether Shen Lian had used his mana. At that moment, Shen Lian could be described using a phrase, which was the leaves grew from the root and stem while Shen Lian grew from the tip of the gra.s.s.

It was as though this matter had already been justified and there was no need to get to the bottom of it.

Wuding sheathed the sword with one hand and walked closer to Shen Lian. He said "Why would you say that I am not suitable to learn the sword. My uncle once said that the sword is a person of n.o.ble character and also the king of weapons in the world. By applying the way of the king to this world, thus, this world would comply."

Shen Lian answered with mirth, "From this saying, I can already know. Tianyi is truly a rare and genuine king, which is why I think Tianyi must have used a sword."

Wuding smiled, "You have deduced wrongly, my prince. My uncle has never used a sword or any kind of weapon."

Shen Lian shook his head, "Tianyi does use a sword. In fact, he uses the Sword of the Emperor."

Wuding's expression changed as he warned, "Be careful with your words, my prince. The Sword of the Emperor has the word 'emperor' in it. That would mean only Emperor Xia could use it. How could my uncle be using it? Furthermore, I have never heard of the Sword of the Emperor."

Shen Lian asked lightly, "Then, would you want to hear what the Sword of the Emperor is?"

Wuding's mind was indeed very curious but he knew that there were things that one should refrain from asking. That was why he pondered slightly and answered, "I do not."

Shen Lian chuckled and went to his side, his body light as a smoke. Shen Lian patted him on the shoulders and whispered, "Actually, you're suitable to train with knives."

Just as he got near to Wuding light as smoke earlier, he left with the exact same manner.

Wuding was indeed suitable to use the knife because he had always been a quiet person. Therefore, whenever he wanted to do something, he was especially clear-cut.

No matter the kind of knife method, it was overbearing and straightforward. After all, this was the nature of the knife.

Tianyi used the way of the king, Wuding was then the potent one.

Wuding might think that he and Tianyi were still worlds away, but the Flying Stars Incantation could help him shorten that distance. It was just that he himself was unclear of it.

Shen Lian brushed out from the school light as smoke. He wanted to take the opportunity of Lei Jing's slumber to travel around Diqiu. Actually, Diqiu had many hidden secrets but the average person dared not investigate these secrets. Or rather it could be said that those who dared to investigate do not exist anymore.

Because of the major event that had happened this morning, Diqiu's security became very strict. But in actual fact, this was the moment when Shen Lian was like a duck in the water.

In the account of Emperor Xia who was angered by the incident, all chancellors were gathered and were having their morning audience with the emperor. The core strength of Xia Kingdom was a.s.sembled within the Xia Palace. Regardless whether it was the clan leaders of the twelve aristocrat families, or the other chancellors, or even the monks from the Xuanzhen Hall or the Da Jue Temple, all of them chose their own spots in the hall and dared not make a peep.

Xia Kingdom was the center of the Netherworld, even the Asura Clan within the blood-red Asura Sea could not deny this fact. This was because the ancestors, great-grandfather, and grandfather of Emperor Xia used their fists to brutally have them admit that.

As for Emperor Xia's father, he had not even been the Emperor for a day before he died out of a blue.

No one knew how Emperor Xia's father pa.s.sed away but rumor had it that the current Emperor Xia once said that he did not wish to become the prince-consort even just for a day.

It was rare for Emperor Xia's words to not be honored.

The current Emperor Xia intimidates those around him. When he became the emperor, there was not a day in Xia Kingdom that the war stopped and Xia Kingdom's authority had never been this profound in all places.

Most of the countries such as the Northern Barbarians, Eastern Barbarians, Southern Barbarians and Western Barbarians, also known as Xirong 1 had already surrendered, offered their contracts to concede defeat, and became the commissioned countries to Xia Kingdom.

Emperor Xia was clad in golden king robes. The robes were not made out of the ordinary gold but were made out of heavenly gold that was more precious than the ordinary ones. Heavenly gold was a kind of metal that had flown from outside into the Netherworld. Even the Huang River and blood-red Asura Sea could not corrode it.

The royal crown on his head had a bright relic prayer bead. It was said that the relic was one of the relics left behind after Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's body perished.

Nonetheless, the intimidating Emperor Xia, who was originally the authority that not many in this world would dare to contend with, was humiliated today.

Someone in Diqiu had actually dared to display the spell that could cast away mountains, upset the sea and most of all, that person almost placed a mountain peak within Diqiu city. Even though he did not succeed with his plan, the fact that he managed to retreat completely had humiliated the entire Diqiu.

Furthermore, there were envoys from different countries in Diqiu. When the news of this matter spread out, Diqiu would naturally become the b.u.t.t of the joke.

At this moment, Emperor Xia's face was expressionless but from the looks of it, the volcano within him would erupt any moment. There was a huge pillar extending from the ground to high above the ceiling in the middle of the main hall. Yinglong was sitting on top of the pillar and it was dozing off with its eyes closed.

When Emperor Xia was in a foul mood, only Yinglong would dare to be in a good mood.

Everyone else did not share Yinglong's good mood as they were shaking. They dared not lift their heads and did not even dare to lower their heads too much.

Emperor Xia eyes swept through his chancellors and said, "Useless, all of you are useless."

Every blue stone and glazed tile within Xia Palace reverberated the angry voice of Emperor Xia and did not subside for a very long time.

"Come out, Lei Nuo." Emperor Xia simply pointed and pointed towards his own brother-in-law, which was the Prefect Grand Usher who was standing behind Lei Hong, the Youhu's clan leader.

Lei Nuo groaned inwardly as he said, "I am here, my king."

Emperor Xia looked deeply at Lei Nuo and he slowly began, "What is the matter with you? I ordered you to investigate that person's tracks. Not only did you failed to do so, you allowed him to display his demonic tricks under my nose."

Lei Nuo immediately knelt down and exclaimed, "A thousand deaths will not atone for my crime." He truly understood Emperor Xia's temper. If he had reported to the king from the beginning then he would have been fine. Now, if he were to reveal just about anything related to Shen Lian's matter, not only did he have to face the destruction of the Prohibition within his body, he would also need to face the punishment of the enraged Emperor Xia.

This was because Emperor Xia could never tolerate people who lied to him. Since he had decided to keep it a secret from the beginning, he could only take this secret to his grave.

He could only continuously kowtow. The blue stone within the main halls was broken by his kowtow and fresh blood pooled the floor.

Lei Hong looked on as his son suffered and he could not bear the sight at all. He stepped out of line and said, "It is my incompetence in teaching my son, please deal with me too, my king." http://www.iciba.com/%E5%8C%97%E7%8B%84
