Chapter 207 Three Letters
This chapter is updated by Novelfree.ml
Snow Moon City.
Sikong Changfeng sat alone at the top of a tall pavilion. Over the last few days, there were many courier pigeons flying into Snow Moon City one after the other. One was sent by Yin Luoxia. The general message was that the crisis at Lei Clan Fort had been resolved, none of their disciples died, she suspected Unrivaled City had something to do with this matter and was going to Unrivaled City to investigate.
Investigate? Sikong Changfeng sneered and put the letter into the candle flame. Who didn’t know that Yin Luoxia and Song Yanhui had an inexplicable relationship between them? Whatever suspicion she had about this matter being related to Unrivaled City was merely an excuse to settle the ill-fated relationship between the two.
The second letter was sent by Tang Lian. This head disciple of Snow Moon City reported on the entire matter in lengthy and great detail, from the Tang Clan’s betrayal, colluding with the Hidden River and plotting against Lei Clan Fort, to the death of Grandmaster Tang and blackmailing Lei Clan Fort to declare to the entire martial world that Grandmaster Tang had died while defending the heroes of the martial world. He also reported that Xiao Se’s condition had worsened and that they were going to bring Xiao Se to the immortal mountain beyond the sea to seek a cure.
"Immortal mountain beyond the sea?" Sikong Changfeng sighed, and burned the letter as well. He’d naturally heard Baili Dongjun telling the story about that place before, but it was only a fairy tale after all. It was mysterious and fantastical and although he was always curious about it, he’d never had the urge to see it. But, what made him more worried in the report was the matter of the Tang Clan…
The third letter was sent by Xie Xuan, but once Sikong Changfeng received the letter, he immediately put it into the candle flame, because by the time this letter arrived, the person who sent the letter was already sitting in front of him.
Confucian Sword Immortal, Xie Xuan.
"How do you see the situation with the Tang Clan?" Sikong Changfeng asked.
"Grandmaster Tang is dead, and the three elders of Tang Clan are also dead. Tang Xuan, Tang Huang, and Tang Qisha, the three of them cannot support this huge family. During this battle in Lei Clan Fort, a young man appeared, named Tang Ze. This young man is not simple, and he should be the successor left by Grandmaster Tang," Xie Xuan replied.
"Tang Lian did mention this Tang Ze in his letter. I’m sure he will indeed be someone important in the near future. But now he is too young, and the Tang Clan will not approve of him," Sikong Changfeng said.
Xie Xuan frowned slightly. "You mean, Tang Lianyue?"
"Plucking water or plucking the moon, half lost in wind and rivers, and half lost in clouds." Sikong Changfeng poured two cups of tea and slowly said, "Tang Clan Tang Lianyue. Now, he’s the only one who can save the Tang Clan. But, did you just say the three elders of Tang Clan are also dead?"
"Yes, they’re dead. Snow Moon City should have received the news long ago. The entire Qingcheng Mountain have been wearing their white mourning robes due to the death of their Sectmaster Zhao Yuzhen. The news surrounding this incident is even more incredible than the battle in Lei Clan Fort. After all, the one who died was the Daoist Sword Immortal. Who could have killed the Daoist Sword Immortal?" Xie Xuan said.
"The three elders of Tang Clan?" Sikong Changfeng shook his head. "No, they’re not even close."
"Yes, but the three elders of Tang Clan, in addition to Su Muyu, Xie Qidao and Su Changhe. What do you think?" Xie Xuan asked back.
"Why would they set such a large plot to kill Zhao Yuzhen?" Sikong Changfeng frowned.
"Even if they set such a large plot, if Zhao Yuzhen did not leave his mountain, how would they kill the Sectmaster of Qingcheng Mountain? For whom would Zhao Yuzhen leave the mountain?" Xie Xuan said.
Sikong Changfeng was shocked. "Hanyi!"
"Yes, the Hidden River and Tang Clan’s target was to kill Li Hanyi. But, at the critical moment, Zhao Yuzhen arrived. He killed the three elders of Tang Clan with a single sword, repelled the Patriarch and the Heads of Houses, and brought Li Hanyi to break through the siege. But, Li Hanyi was struck by a Pear Blossom Needle. Zhao Yuzhen was already seriously injured and exerted himself in order to heal her. He exchanged his life for hers. After Li Hanyi regained consciousness, she couldn't take the blow, and instantly suffered qi deviation. Her power increased explosively, and even with the combined strength of Wrath Sword Immortal Yan Zhantian, we couldn’t subdue her. In the end, at Lei Clan Fort, she almost killed Su Changhe, but in the end Su Changhe got away. Li Hanyi immediately followed to chase after him and Lei Hong from Lei Clan who still has feelings for her went after her." Xie Xuan finished the story and took a sip of tea.
Sikong Changfeng's expression grew increasingly worried. "I didn't expect this matter to be so serious and that Hanyi would suffer qi deviation. No, looks like I’ll have to leave the City and make a trip."
"You can't go." Xie Xuan shook his head. "After this string of events, it’s become clear that someone is plotting to eliminate Lei Clan Fort, someone is trying to kill Xiao Chuhe, someone is trying to kill Li Hanyi, and someone is using all this to get rid of Tang Clan. No matter which it is, they’re all related to Snow Moon City. Someone wants to dismantle your Snow Moon City. Even people like Wrath Sword Immortal Yan Zhantian got involved, so things are no longer within your control. Tang Clan’s current situation has not been made clear and Lei Clan Fort has lost Lei Qianhu. Lei Hong’s whereabouts are unknown and as for Lei Yunhe, although his martial arts are powerful, it won’t be easy for him to settle the Lei Clan as Clan Leader. The Wen Clan has always remained detached, and doesn’t participate in disputes of the martial world. Now, Snow Moon City’s three major allies are not stable, two of your Citymasters are missing, and even Luoxia Fairy has gone off to seek out her old lover. If you leave the City now, Snow Moon City will soon collapse and fall apart."
"Someone is trying to destroy my Snow Moon City?" Sikong Changfeng muttered, "I should have anticipated this. On the chessboard, we’re all chess pieces."
"Yes. It's a pity that the person who was playing chess is dead. He bound Snow Moon City and Xiao Chuhe together in a tight knot. Now, there are many people in Heavenly Revelations City who want to destroy Snow Moon City, while in the martial world, Unrivaled City is eyeing all this like a tiger watching its prey. Therefore, at this moment, you must not leave. You are the Spear Immortal, the one and only Spear Immortal under Heaven. As long as you’re here, Snow Moon City will be able to safely wait for their return." Xie Xuan said in a deep voice, "As for Li Hanyi’s situation, I will go."
"You’ll go?" Sikong Changfeng was taken aback.
"We’re both called sword immortals and no matter what, our friendship goes back over ten years. Although she’s very fierce, and she’s always making me try her sword whenever we meet, this time, whether it’s helping a friend or helping Snow Moon City, I will definitely find her." Xie Xuan stood up and swung his bookcase onto his back. "This time, I’ve come to deliver this message so I won’t stay any longer."
Sikong Changfeng glanced at him with a mean-spirited look. "You saw how beautiful Hanyi is. Now that the man she loves is dead, you want to take advantage and fill the gap?"
Xie Xuan laughed and shook his head. "I’m a scholar, and I appreciate beauty the way one appreciates the world. I have never had other thoughts. I don’t want her to die because if the world loses this beauty, it would be a pity."
Sikong Changfeng nodded and continued, "Xie-xiong, Tang Lian's letter mentioned that my daughter was coming back with you. But, I haven’t seen her. I wonder…"
Xie Xuan scratched his head and sighed. "Your precious daughter did start off the trip with me, but although your precious daughter’s martial arts are not powerful, she’s very clever. She escaped three times and was caught by me three times. The fourth time, I really couldn’t find her. But, considering her talent and… tenacity, I’m sure she’ll be able to return to Snow Moon City on her own."
Sikong Changfeng didn’t know if he should laugh or cry and could only exhale a heavy sigh. "I hope so."
