Chapter 755 (2/2)
The group drank under the moon, which sure was cheerful .
“Qingshan, if you become a guest elder of the Sword Collection palace, we’ll be able to travel together,” Hua Chengzan said .
“If it’s possible, I’d obviously like to draw a renowned sword . However, I still need my master’s permission with regard to this . I can’t make the decision arbitrarily . ”
Li Qingshan glanced at Yin Xiaochou . He was currently drinking by himself, sombre like he was drowning his sorrows through drinking . But in Li Qingshan’s eyes, he only seemed like another poser . A legacy from the sword just was not his personal comprehension . A slight difference existed .

Since this kid is bold enough to mention it- no, since the Sword Collection palace is bold enough to mention it, don’t tell me they’re certain that the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga will agree to it? Otherwise, wouldn’t they completely embarrass themselves? Or is the Sword Collection palace thinking of forging an alliance with the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga, and they want to use me as a binding force?
Li Qingshan contemplated and gradually made up his mind . Suddenly, he raised his head . “It’s going to rain . ”
Everyone looked up . The bright moon hung in the middle of the sky with only a few, wispy clouds floating through the deep-blue night sky . It did not seem like it was about to rain at all!
But very soon, fierce winds arrived, whistling past the mountain peak . Like a huge, invisible hand pulling over a great curtain, dense clouds shrouded the entire sky in the blink of an eye, weighing heavily down on the mountain peak . It was like they were within arm’s reach .
“A storm is brewing!” Li Qingshan said slowly .
After the war in the Clear River prefecture passed, the situation across the nine provinces gradually began to shift over the past few years . Battles between humans and daemons constantly erupted, and the demonic sects that had been suppressed for several millennia began to emerge once more, stirring up a vicious mess in the Cloud, Mist, Frost, and Thunder provinces .
The Great Xia empire’s control over the various provinces was rapidly declining . Actually, that was already evident from the White Lotus cult . In the past, even if the White Lotus Mother had fled to the Mist province, she would have to tuck her tail between her legs and behave . Why would the Hawkwolf Guard allow her to rebuild her headquarters in such a brazen manner? But now, no one cared anymore .
And, that was the boundary of the Mist province that was very close to the Green province and the Dragon province . If he went further south by another several tens of thousand kilometers, he could basically imagine what the South Sea commandery would be like .
The time when order disintegrated was also the time when weapons would be raised . Everything would depend on strength . The Sword Collection palace and the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga were both so-called orthodox sects . At such a critical time, strengthening their unity was an obvious choice .

“Yeah!” Hua Chengzan sighed . No one present was stupid . They could all tell what Li Qingshan was implying, and they sank into their thoughts . For a moment, the terrace was silent . Only the wind whistled through the air .
Everyone had personally experienced the brutality of the war in the Clear River prefecture, but looking at it now, that was merely a small problem, the calm before the storm . Even greater problems were awaiting up ahead!
The dark clouds blotted out the moon and large droplets of rain fell down . The surroundings were pitch-black, filled with the pitter-patter of rain, but surprisingly, there was no thunder .
The halls below the mountain shone brightly with lantern light, but they seemed to become dimmer, wavering in the wind and rain .
The rain was unable to reach them, but the atmosphere had become rather stifling without the moon and stars .
“The orthodoxy of the world needs to be protected by the swords of my generation, to guard the common people from suffering!”
Yin Xiaochou stood up solemnly . His black hair flew through the air, and he radiated with might .
With a clang, he drew the Breaking Water sword from his sheathe and swung it at the pitch-black sky .
The slash passed by in a flash, like a bolt of lightning that darted across the night sky .

A crack appeared in the clouds silently, allowing the moonlight to pour through and the starlight to twinkle .
“What a sword! What swordsmanship!” Everyone praised loudly . The clouds seemed close, but they were very far away . Slashing open the clouds from so far away was basically a marvelous feat .
“It’s all thanks to the defeat you granted me that day, fellow . It’s given me quite the inspiration, allowing me to comprehend something new about the path of the sword . Why don’t you show us your abilities so that you can widen our horizons?”
Yin Xiaochou turned around and stared at Li Qingshan . He wanted to show off the might of the Breaking Water sword, and he had a vague intention of sparring . Your cultivation might be higher than mine, but what I can do isn’t what you necessarily can do . I’m not your opponent right now, but once I undergo the second heavenly tribulation, you definitely won’t be my opponent .
Li Qingshan stood up lazily and tossed the empty jar of alcohol off the cliff, pushing forward with both hands .
“Ocean Wielding—The Cloud Parting Form!”
The clouds surged and shifted out in all directions . Before long, almost half the clouds in the skies had been parted, and the moonlight became even clearer .
Li Qingshan said, “Fellow Yin, I will report this to my master . If he doesn’t object to it, I’ll definitely pay the Sword Collection palace a visit with you!”
The banquet came to an end, and everyone dispersed .

Very soon, the Unraging monk gave his answer . He wanted Li Qingshan to make the decision himself, and he only had a single request, which was to not tarnish his reputation!
