The Heavens: A Qing, the Yue Girl at the beginning

Chapter 517: Invitation to discuss in secret, the intention of doing things for you (4K)

Zhao Qing reacted quickly and tilted her head slightly. The crystal water sword seemed to fall into a quagmire. Thousands of extremely fine ice chains suddenly appeared on its forward trajectory, as if trapping it firmly in the scabbard. It was immediately frozen with a tinkling sound and was crushed into pieces by her gesture.

But this was only the beginning of the curtain. With the unusual changes in the visiting card, the several vases used to decorate the stone room seemed to have sensed some kind of call and exploded one after another. The fragments intertwined with the water light and turned into silver light that was enough to penetrate gold and stone.

This kind of sudden attack "out of nothing" can be said to be the unique style of the practitioners of Tianyi Pavilion. A sword that comes across a long distance should not be as fast as a water sword that appears directly next to you. It is so fast that people are caught off guard and are defeated and killed before they can gather enough true energy.

At the same time, outside the grotto where she was, in the canyon shrouded in morning mist, the originally quiet water mist seemed to be activated to life, transforming into dragons that roared and swept down, submerging the entire valley in a haze.

Many flashes began to appear in the air. They were countless crystal water droplets that continued to condense, and then rapidly accelerated and stretched, turning into tens of millions of crystal water swords. Each sword contained murderous intent that was enough to penetrate the sky. They floated all around, weaving the entire world into a web of death.

Then, they followed the turbulent wind flow, attacking Zhao Qing from all directions at different times, as if they would never stop. The condensed water vapor disks whistled in the strong wind and became like compressed dark clouds, covering the sky in an instant.

"It came so quickly!"

Faced with this overwhelming attack, Zhao Qing did not panic. She just blinked her eyes and smiled faintly. The water light emitted by the exploding vase had not yet touched her clothes, but was dispersed by the biting cold air emanating from her body, turning into fine ice chips and scattered all over the ground.

Zhao Qing raised her ten fingers lightly, as if playing a silent piece of music, plucking invisible strings in the air, and ice swords of almost the same order of magnitude but smaller suddenly appeared within ten feet of her, and then began to circle and spin at high speed, unfolding an extremely dense sword net.

The two sides fought fiercely, and thousands of crisp collision sounds continued to overlap in a short period of time, and finally converged into a terrifying roar.

The rain and fog dissipated outwards under the shock of the sword energy, and the sunlight penetrated the clouds, refracting colorful colors, just like a colorful crystal flower hundreds of feet in size blooming in the mountains, extremely gorgeous, but also full of dangers.

"Let me see your sword!"

A woman in a white dress was suspended in the middle of countless crystal water droplets, with a cold face and sharp eyes. She was obviously the source of the storm, the head of the Qin Dynasty's Astronomical Bureau, Ye Celeng, who was famous for his method of "Heaven gives birth to water".

As her voice fell, there was a loud bang and heavy rain began to pour down in the entire Baiyang Gorge area.

However, countless raindrops did not fall from the sky, but were generated from around her body and flew towards the sky. In just a moment, they condensed into more crystal swords and formed a huge sword formation.

Tianyi Pavilion's sword formation "Boundless Wind and Rain" is the result of continuous carving. It uses the countless released true energy in the body as a medium, and uses tangible water flow to endlessly absorb the invisible vitality of heaven and earth. In the end, this boundless wind and rain will even exceed the power of the practitioner himself.

What's even more terrifying is that this wind and rain sword energy that seems to connect the sky and the earth and occupies the entire field of vision may very well contain Ye Celeng's natal sword. Since the latter is also in the shape of a crystal droplet, it is impossible to distinguish it, which undoubtedly makes the entire sword formation even more bizarre and unpredictable.

Zhao Qing tilted her head again, and another person who looked exactly like her appeared from the side, except that her form was ethereal and her aura was slightly weaker. It seemed like she was a projection of her soul, and her own aura also dropped a bit.

Then, this strange technique of splitting into two was used again: two became four, four became eight, eight became sixteen... and soon a total of 4096 human figures were split out, rushing towards the outside world.

Among them, 64 are entities, carrying the power of the peak of the fifth realm of divine consciousness, and the rest are phantoms condensed from sword energy. There seems to be a thin layer of black ice attached to the surface, and it seems as if there is nothing. It is just a interference in the light, but in fact it is the hub for the transmission of sword light.

This is the "Spirit-Splitting and Shape-Transforming Light Sky Sword" that was once wielded by the secret guards of the Wu Kingdom. With Zhao Qing's current attainments in swordsmanship, he is able to complete it based on the fragments left behind, re-derive the mystery contained in the sword, and incorporate his own artistic conception.

This method should be a secret sword that simulates the body and god and is further derived on the basis of the body and god. The separated phantom bodies can form various formations, like the eight body gods corresponding to the states of the Eight Diagrams, which conform to the laws of heaven and earth. The sword energy, light and shadow circulate endlessly, and naturally it is extremely powerful.

Looking around, among the millions of ice swords flying in the sky, the reflection and scattering of the mirror surface, the light and shadow are intertwined, endless, as if thousands of miles have turned into a sea of ​​light, ice, swords, and shadows. The vastness of the field of vision gives people a sense of vastness;
If you listen carefully, you can hear the water flowing inside, colliding with the ice, making crisp sounds, and shooting at each other, forming a natural sound.

Between the jade trees and white flowers, there is a bone-chilling cold, an oppressive atmosphere, a whimpering sound, and an unknown rush and sorrow, which is an exact portrayal of the artistic conception of "When the thousand-mile long river first freezes, the sounds of jade bells and jade pendants make uneven sounds, but life is like water under the ice, flowing east day and night without anyone knowing."

Ye Celeng's perception was gradually diffused, diluted, and condensed in the layers of glaciers, just like the frozen water under the ice, which made it impossible to detect its flow. A layer of separation was created between him and the external energy of heaven and earth, and he lost his sense of distance and direction, and could no longer control it freely.

As the flow and condensation of her consciousness, true energy and vital energy became unsustainable and were gradually cut off, thousands of water swords suddenly collapsed in the air, turning into countless tiny drops of water, lightly floating down, as if it were an endless rain, but with a hint of sadness.

Fundamentally, it was just that Zhao Qing significantly overwhelmed his opponent in perception, and the subtle control and ever-changing perception brought him, which further widened the gap in sword-wielding skills.

If you win too much in one place, you win everywhere.

Sensing the sudden outbreak of battle in their own sect, Xue Wangxu and Du Qingjiao were horrified and immediately flew over from their respective stone chambers where they practiced, holding swords and gathering energy, intending to lend a helping hand to Zhao Qing. However, just as their natal swords were unsheathed to absorb vital energy, silence returned to the valley.

A hollow ice ball was formed by the fusion of countless ice swords, and its surface was covered with glowing runes. A crystal water sword about an inch long was trapped inside it, suppressing every ray of true energy within it. Then the ice ball slowly floated away and landed in front of Zhao Qing.

At a distance of dozens of feet, Ye Celeng pursed his lips, suppressed the surging true energy and blood, looked at the calm girl in green on the opposite cliff, letting the flying raindrops wet her black hair, but did not say a word for a while.

"Sir Ye, I invited you to meet me privately, but I didn't say that we wanted to have a fight!"

Zhao Qing's gaze seemed to penetrate numerous barriers, and he saw clearly the black clothes of the Astronomical Supervisor that had been taken off in a crevice in the rocks between the mountains. He realized that the other party was the messenger who had delivered a letter to Baiyang Cave not long ago, and he sighed lightly.

"The Tianjian Division has always handled official business impartially. How can there be any talk of inviting you to discuss things privately?"

Finding that he couldn't free his natal sword from the seal, Ye Celeng's expression turned slightly cold, and he immediately replied: "Besides, Zhao Qing, your identity and origins are still unknown... Today's battle is not only a test of your strength, but also a test of your position."

"So, the reason why Ye Sishou stopped the fight should be to eliminate the suspicion on me, right?" Zhao Qing smiled faintly, with a bit of relief in her tone, as if the thrilling duel just now was just a farce caused by misunderstanding. "This battle may make you understand me, but the 'real' position will take more time to prove."

She gave a special look as a hint, and added: "It's not that I don't want to go through the formal process, but there are often many misunderstandings in this world. If I don't explain it clearly in person, won't it just cause more trouble?"

"If the truly important news were to pass through the hands of the rest of the God Supervisor and Heaven Supervisor, who knows if it would be leaked out quickly and become one of the files placed on the desks of some of the dignitaries in Changling? That's why I had to take such a direct approach. I hope that Chief Ye will forgive me."

After saying that, Zhao Qing waved his sleeves lightly and stroked the ice ball that trapped his natal sword. The true energy flowed through his fingertips, and the runes on the surface of the ice ball gradually dimmed and finally disappeared into thin air.

The crystal sword inside also regained its freedom, slowly floating to Ye Celeng's side, circling around him like a bird returning to its nest.

"I have kept your sword for you for a while. Now I return it to its rightful owner." She landed at the entrance of the severely damaged stone chamber again. Her words were somewhat playful, yet polite. "If you still have other questions, why not find a quiet place to discuss it in detail?"

Ye Ce looked at this scene coldly, with mixed emotions in her heart. She had to admit that Zhao Qing's strength and demeanor were beyond her original imagination. Although she had not used her full strength before, she still had some room for improvement, but she had never expected that even her natal sword would be taken away from her.

At this time, Xue Wangxu and Du Qingjiao exchanged a few words with each other and came to Zhao Qing's side. Looking at the scene in front of them, they secretly felt lucky that the battle did not cause greater losses, and the situation was not so bad that Baiyang Cave and Jiantian Division broke up.

"Zhao Qing, are you okay? I have two bottles of healing pills here, including five Dragon and Tiger Rejuvenating Pills." Du Qingjiao asked with concern while looking at Ye Celeng vigilantly.

As for Xue Wangxu, he stroked his white beard, as if he had realized something, and shouted in dissatisfaction: "You broke into the mountain gate of the practice place without reason and committed a crime. Do you believe that I will use my connections to report you to the court?"

"What could possibly happen? Ye Sishou was originally the guest I invited. It's just that the timing and state of his appearance were not right, so there was a misunderstanding."

Zhao Qing turned around and looked at his nominal "senior brothers" and said, "After witnessing today's battle, I'm sure you two have gained a lot. It's better to go back and digest it as soon as possible."

When Xue and Du flew back to their respective stone chambers for training, Ye Celeng remained silent for a moment. Her eyes stayed on Zhao Qing for a long time, as if trying to see through his true thoughts:
"What do you mean? Why did you go to so much trouble to let me come to your house under such an excuse and even stage a fight?"

She raised her hand and took the crystal sword into her body. Then she flew horizontally to the stone chamber where the other party was and landed steadily in front of Zhao Qing. An invisible force fell like a curtain, instantly closing the entrance to this place and isolating it from all interference from the outside world.

The overturned stone tables, bookshelves, and broken ornaments all returned to their original places, and the ice that had condensed due to the battle gradually melted and turned into streams that flowed into the ground.

The two were only a few feet apart, so close that they could clearly feel each other's breathing. The atmosphere in the stone chamber became extremely solemn for a moment, but Zhao Qing still had that indifferent smile on her face, as if everything was under her control:
"I've said it before, some secrets are best not known to others... For example, our true positions."

"Zhao Qing, are you being mysterious? The duty of the Heavenly Supervisor is to monitor the world and maintain the authority of the royal family. My position is naturally on the side of the Qin Dynasty."

Ye Celeng's voice was cold and revealed an unquestionable firmness: "But you, could it be that you are the criminal who looted the warehouse of the Tiger and Wolf Northern Army?"

"Yes, you guessed it right. I am the target you want to catch by organizing the Changling Sword Society." Zhao Qing nodded and replied sincerely: "Therefore, if there is any treasure you want to covet, or someone you want to secretly attack and kill, you can also ask me for help."

"Zhao Qing, you are so bold that you dare to say such words openly." Hearing such arrogant and rebellious words, Ye Celeng laughed suddenly. From the side, you can see the dimples on her cheeks: "There are more than one Seventh Realm who surrendered under my sword!"

"There's no need to say such polite words! Whose natal sword was controlled by someone just now?"

Zhao Qing chuckled, a cunning look flashing in her eyes. In front of Ye Celeng, she slowly stretched out her hand, palm facing up, and a crystal drop of water floated out lightly, stretching out and turning into a water sword that drew a circle. It was exactly the form of "Tian Yi Sheng Shui" that the other party had used before, and it seemed impossible to distinguish.

"You can use your own true essence to imitate the sword intent of many sects. Are you from the Chongming Sword Sect or the Tianzhou Sword Sect? Or have you obtained the lost classics of these two sects?"

Ye Celeng's smile became even brighter, and he looked like he had just met a rare confidant. He naturally moved closer, as if he was ready to attack at any time: "...What do you know?"

"I know more than you think." Zhao Qing smiled slightly, and her tone revealed an inexplicable confidence: "But I know that you are not completely ignorant. Otherwise, you would not have accepted my invitation so easily and come to this place full of unknowns."

As soon as Zhao Qing finished speaking, the atmosphere in the stone chamber became subtle again. Ye Celeng's eyes flickered, as if he was weighing the truth of Zhao Qing's words and the information she might have: "So... what secrets do you think I need your help with?"

"Probably... including killing several loyal thugs trained by Queen Zheng Xiu, rescuing Lin Zhujiu who was trapped in the Dafu Water Prison, finding the survivors left behind in the Bashan Sword Field, and avenging those shameless traitors who betrayed their teachers and friends..."

Zhao Qing casually moved two stone benches that were cracked by the aftermath of Fang Xian's battle, smoothed them out, sat down calmly, and placed the other one next to Ye Celeng:
"If Chief Ye is worried and wants to investigate and do it himself, I can also imitate your skills and appearance and create an alibi."

Ye Celeng's pupils shrank slightly when she heard this, and she was obviously shocked by Zhao Qing's series of speculations. She sat down slowly and looked into Zhao Qing's eyes. She knew in her heart that every thing he mentioned was enough to shock the government and even overturn the political situation of the Qin Dynasty.

She had never expected that this seemingly young girl would dare to so boldly venture into these taboo topics, knowing many secrets that were deliberately covered up, and even guessing her own hidden thoughts and purposes.

"So, what is your purpose? Why do you want to cooperate with me?" Ye Celeng stared at Zhao Qing, trying to catch a clue from her expression: "How can I believe that you can help me complete those almost impossible tasks based on your one-sided words?"

"The so-called purpose is actually not important..."

Zhao Qing chuckled, her eyes clear and deep: "Because many things can be proved by actual actions. Trust can be established step by step. For example, how about completing a small task as the beginning of cooperation?"

"What kind of small task?" Ye Celeng thought for a moment and asked slowly: "Let me decide?"
