Chapter 357 The Sword and the Old Friend

Bai Ze whispered as if chatting with an old friend, but before him was only this ancient sword, possessing an unprecedented status in the myths of Shenzhou, the Xuanyuan Sword. But in reality, its true name should be 'Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword.'

If one were to search through the ancient texts for the Xia Yu Sword, it would also be this very same blade.

This represents the time from the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan to the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

Throughout countless generations of emperors, the Xuanyuan Sword only recognized two sword masters: one was Ji Xuanyuan, who forged the sword, and the other was Xia Yu Si Wenming.

Each leader of the human race represented the most outstanding hero of that era, but there were only titles such as the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. And even among those with such titles, only these two were recognized by this sacred sword of the human race.

After King Yu departed, no one could ever draw this sword again.

Even Emperor Jun could not accomplish it.

He had no choice but to leave the sword where it had last fallen.

And used twenty-four chains to firmly lock the Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword on the Platform of Xuanyuan.

To the east of the Xuanyuan Sword was the Fengju Jade Gate, where the sun and moon entered.

To the west of the Xuanyuan Sword was the Great Barren Dragon Mountain, where the sun and moon also entered.

This was enough to prove how much the Great Barren feared this sword.

Bai Ze didn't know if that fellow could draw this sword. To completely unleash the power of the Xuanyuan Sword was out of the question; only two people had ever been able to do that since ancient times. But to use this sword was something to consider.

Perhaps...

Perhaps it could be done.

One must always have hope, right?

Even if he wasn't human.

Anyway, he muttered to the Xuanyuan Sword for a long time, and then reached out to touch the hilt. But as soon as he touched the hilt, he felt like he had been electrocuted. He screamed and fell directly from the Platform of Xuanyuan, and tumbled down the mountain.

His whole body was charred black, and his limbs twitched.

He lay there for a good while before he managed to get up. He opened his mouth and spat out a puff of black, burnt air.

Bai Ze looked at the mountain and gnashed his teeth for a long time.

He had no choice but to support his old back and climb the mountain where he had spent so much effort setting up the formation.

You say, dismantle the formation?

Too troublesome, better to climb the mountain.

After a while, Bai Ze climbed up the mountain, panting. He pointed at the Xuanyuan Sword from at least seventeen or eighteen steps away, and said:

"I'm warning you, if you shock me again, I'm telling you I won't be polite!"

"Don't think I'm afraid of you!"

"I'm respecting you, you know that!"

The Xuanyuan Sword hummed.

As if in mockery.

Bai Ze hesitated and struggled for a long time before walking over and reaching out his hand again.

He thought for a moment, then wiped his sweaty hands on his clothes.

Only then did he grasp the hilt.

This time, the Xuanyuan Sword at least didn't send Bai Ze flying. It seemed the first time was indeed because of the old man's sweaty hands. Bai Ze breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't pull it out no matter what he did. He gave a wry smile and said, "It seems I still can't pull it out. Forget it, forget it. Then at least give me a wisp of sword energy."

"I'll go to the human world and test that kid's aptitude."

"If he can do it, I'll bring him back. If he doesn't have the destiny, then I'll just forget about it."

"I'm just thinking that the world is changing so much. If you could be born into the world, it would be a good thing."

Bai Ze murmured with a smile.

As if he were recalling his experiences from those years.

Ji Xuanyuan, Xuan Nu, Feng Hou, Li Mu, Du Kang, Cang Jie.

Now only he was left.

……………………

It seemed that the Xuanyuan Sword was familiar with Bai Ze.

A ray of light appeared on the Xuanyuan Sword, and then flew into Bai Ze's hand.

It faintly resembled the shape of the Xuanyuan Sword.

It was a wisp of sword energy containing a trace of true intent. Bai Ze carefully put it away.

But after he went down the mountain and tried to find a Mountain and Sea Rift nearby.

He suddenly noticed something was wrong.

He looked up slightly, his pupils constricted. In the distance, he saw a stream of light moving at an extremely high speed. Even though it had been somewhat restrained, it still exuded a strong sense of oppression: desolate, heavy, it was a heavenly god from the Great Barren.

"...The god who supports the heavens, 'Zhong'?!"

Bai Ze recognized this ancient god who replaced Buzhou Mountain's authority and supported the heavens after Gonggong angrily crashed into Buzhou Mountain. His expression changed slightly.

He subconsciously put the Xuanyuan Sword energy into his sleeve and hurriedly hid himself. He saw the god of the Great Barren directly tear through the void, and the place he was going was the direction of the human world. Bai Ze's expression changed several times, and then he quickly guessed the problem.

He's also after Wei Yuan?!

Just because two of the Twelve Yuanchen died, was it necessary to do this?!

Bai Ze had rushed towards the Platform of Xuanyuan after separating from Wei Yuan.

So he didn't know about Wei Yuan's 'wonderful performance' on the Kunlun stone wall.

His face turned green and white. He suddenly began to hesitate whether or not he should still go to the human world. The human world already had an existence like Gonggong, and now it had added 'Zhong.' It could be said to be extremely dangerous. Maybe he should find a place to hide for a few hundred years, and wait until 'Zhong' returned.

Xuanyuan wasn't here, so running was the best option.

Bai Ze didn't want to clash with such a great god.

But soon, he saw a few more figures appear. The righteous gods of the Great Barren didn't care if they were noticed or not. They rushed into the human world in such a grand and upright manner. Bai Ze's expression gradually became solemn. What was happening before him seemed to be beyond his comprehension.

Could it be that something major had happened in the human world?

Or had Wei Yuan and the others encountered some trouble?

The gods of the Great Barren would actually choose to enter the human world. This was different from the contract that had been signed in the past.

Bai Ze instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

He pondered for a long time.

Of course, such a major event...

He couldn't join the fray.

He wasn't Xuanyuan.

Only a fool would go.

Bai Ze took the opportunity to give himself a Qimen status, and directly severed his fate with going to the human world.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and retreat.

But after only a few steps back, he bumped into a broad body. Bai Ze's scalp went numb. He slowly turned his head and saw a tall man with a kind expression and a firm, calm face. The latter looked at Bai Ze thoughtfully. After an awkward silence, the visitor took out a notebook from his arms.

He opened it to page one hundred and seventy-three.

Line seven.

"It's you."

"The criminal who trespassed in the northwest corner with that guy a while ago."

Bai Ze stammered: "Shi Yi?!"

"No, no, I'm innocent."

"Innocent?"

Shi Yi asked thoughtfully:

"Did you come with him in the beginning?"

Bai Ze opened his mouth: "It seems... so."

Shi Yi said: "Did you run away with him after that?"

Bai Ze's voice was even weaker: "It seems, also?"

Shi Yi replied affirmatively: "Then there's no problem."

"This person has the possibility of committing heinous crimes. We are ordered to capture him and bring him back to the Great Barren."

"You are an accomplice."

"I'm going to arrest you."

Bai Ze used Shi Yi's personality weakness, and said:

"But are you sure? Can you be sure that I'm really an accomplice? Maybe I was coerced by him. Maybe I'm actually his prisoner? I finally managed to escape, and now you want to catch me and take me back. Are all you gods so unreasonable, only caring about strength?!"

Bai Ze opened his mouth with a loud voice, his words flowing.

As if he was extremely wronged.

If it were other gods of the Great Barren in front of him, they would have stopped listening to his nonsense long ago. But the one in front of him was Shi Yi, a powerful god who was as fair as the passage of time. After thinking for a long time, he actually believed him.

He said: "Alright, maybe I was indeed rash."

Bai Ze breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "That's..."

Shi Yi said:

"Then you just need to prove your identity. I'll record it, and then I can let you go."

"Transmit a wisp of your true spirit here, and I can know your name and origin."

"If you are indeed innocent, I will let you leave."

Transmit his true spirit to prove his identity?

Bai Ze's face froze.

Tell you guys that I'm the Bai Ze who told Ji Xuanyuan your black history back then, and then took him all the way to your door?

Bai Ze saw Shi Yi reach out to take his true spirit energy. He suddenly raised his hand to grab Shi Yi's wrist, paused, and said in a solemn tone, "Actually, I'm his accomplice."

"I was just fooling you, wahaha..."

Shi Yi was silent.

He put the notebook back.

And pulled out an iron chain.

Bai Ze laughed heartily, but his laughter gradually faded.

He couldn't laugh anymore.

…………

A moment later, Bai Ze was tied up like a dumpling and held in his right hand.

Shi Yi quickly left in a flash of light.

Bai Ze was silent for a long time, then said quietly, "Can you tell me what you're planning to do?"

Shi Yi said: "Emperor Consort Chang Xi wants us to capture that thief in the human world. There's no time to take you back, so I'll just take you with me to the human world." He held Bai Ze in his right hand, and his speed suddenly increased as he stepped into the human world.

……………………

Kunlun · Western Mountain Realm.

Old Mountain Lord Chongwu said slowly, "Therefore, although there is no precedent for this, for the sake of Kunlun, we have no choice but to go to the human world to punish that Kunlun Mountain Lord. Who else is willing to go to the human world with us?"

The Liusha River Water God Chang Cheng lowered his head.

He silently chanted in his heart.

You can't see me, you can't see me.

I don't want to go, I don't want to go.

He had no intention of going to the human world at all, and even less intention of seeing that monkey.

Just as he was praying with his head lowered, the water ghost next to him suddenly raised his hand and said loudly:

"Me, me, me."

"I'm willing to go to the human world."

Mountain Lord Chongwu said in surprise, "Oh? So it's A-Shui."

"Are you really willing?"

The water ghost said cheerfully:

"Yes, not only can I go to the human world."

"I can also find a very suitable place to live!"

"My boss will definitely be willing to entertain you."

The water ghost paused, thinking of Wei Yuan's familiar face, and the fact that Jue was also from Kunlun.

He added:

"And there are many empty houses on that street."
