Chapter 607 I don't know, I've never seen it before.
"In my eyes..."
Xuan Ling pursed her lips.
A jumble of complex emotions flickered in Jiang Liqian's eyes as she lowered her gaze and looked away.
“Xuan Ling, I…”
Suddenly, a brilliant glow appeared on the horizon, spreading across the entire sky.
Jiang Liqian squinted as the sting stung her eyes, and tears instantly welled up in them.
As time passed, the rosy dawn drew ever closer, and the divine light shone brightly.
The two people present immediately realized what it was. Jiang Liqian didn't waste a second. She shrank the ground to an inch, formed an array, passed through the wall, and helped Xu Youan up from the bed.
"let's go!"
A flash of sword light shot straight into the sky.
Xuan Ling took two steps forward, her hand clenching the Seven Star Seal Talisman in her sleeve until it was crumpled and wrinkled, but she finally gave up at the last moment.
As he watched the sword light recede into the distance, he suddenly felt a mixture of laughter and tears.
Having searched for the answer in two lifetimes, it seems there's no answer. Is this destiny?
But senior sister, how should one accept one's fate?
If... if life there must be death there, Senior Sister, what would you choose?
Dozens of sword shadows flashed through hundreds of miles of city walls and houses, following the aura to land beside the red-clad youth. The leading disciple stepped forward and greeted him: "Junior Brother Xuan, did the criminal Xu You'an and Junior Sister Jiang pass through this area? Did you see them? Which direction did they go?"
Xuan Ling could tell from their attire that they came from the Discipline Hall. Even though he knew the Discipline Hall was very efficient, he didn't expect them to be so fast. It was almost as if the senior sister had just stolen the person out, and they had already received the news and chased after her.
"I'm looking for them too..."
The disciples in the Discipline Hall immediately sharpened their gazes towards him.
"Senior Sister Jiang is of great significance to our Sword Peak. When we heard that something had happened to her, we wanted to find her to find out what happened, but she disappeared here."
So that's how it is.
The disciples in the Discipline Hall relaxed their expressions and their faces softened.
“Junior Brother Xuan, if you find them, please be sure to send a message to the Discipline Hall. We’re leaving now.”
Xuan Ling nodded: "Okay."
The disciples of the Discipline Hall nodded to him, and then he and the disciples behind him flew away on their swords again.
No sooner had the people from the discipline hall left than someone else rushed over in a panic. Upon seeing Xuan Ling, they grabbed his shoulders and asked urgently, "Little sister, little sister... where is Qianqian? Where is she?"
Xuan Ling coldly brushed Jiang Junze's hand away, turned and left: "I don't know, I've never seen him before."
Jiang Junze was not so easily fooled; he knew that there was an inexplicable connection between him and his younger sister.
Lingxu burst forth from the sky, his murderous aura filling the air as he stood before Xuanling.
"I'll ask you one more time, Junior Brother Xuan, where is my little sister?" Jiang Junze's eyes were fierce, and his whole body exuded a cold and dangerous aura.
If Xuan Ling dares to give him another word of evasion, he will make sure he bleeds on the spot!
A hint of surprise flashed across Xuan Ling's eyes, followed by uncontrollable sarcasm: "Senior Brother Jiang, if she were your sister, you shouldn't be questioning me here right now, but should be having the Jiang family step in and protect her!"
After saying that, Xuan Ling waved her sleeve, and a sharp blade appeared in her hand, fiercely blocking his Lingxu Sword, before turning into a beam of light and disappearing.
Jiang Junze was left standing there, his face stiff and pale.
......................................................
"Senior sister, I..." Xu You'an swayed and before she could finish her sentence, she fell to the ground beneath the sword, plummeting into the clouds.
Jiang Liqian was shocked and quickly chased after him to catch him. The two landed on a rocky wasteland.
"Ayou, what's wrong?"
Xu Youan shook his head, his face deathly pale, devoid of any color. If you put him next to a dead person, you wouldn't be able to tell which one was truly dead.
Jiang Liqian reached out to grab his wrist to examine it, but Xu Youan's grip was light, yet he stopped her without a doubt.
"Ayou?"
"Senior sister, go back. Tianqian Sect is your home. If you leave Zhenfeng, you'll be homeless. Don't do these things for me... don't do them for me. I don't want to..."
"What nonsense are you talking about! You are my junior brother, and I am your senior sister. If I'm not by your side, who should I be by? I won't allow you to say such things again, or I'll really get angry, Xu Youan!" Jiang Liqian retorted emotionally.
Immediately, she suppressed her emotions, lowered her head, and her eyes shimmered with a bloodshot red light amidst the glistening moisture. A lump formed in her throat as an indescribable feeling welled up inside her.
This feeling was so unfamiliar, so strange. It was like resentment, and also like bitterness, sadness, anger, heartache, and pain...
It's too difficult, too difficult. Human emotions and desires are far more complex and difficult to understand than the sword techniques she's learned, or the Dao of Swords she's comprehended. She can't see them clearly, can't distinguish them, and even the person experiencing the emotions themselves can't figure out what kind of feeling they are at this moment.
But Xu Youan knew that his senior sister was worried about him.
The tears that were hanging in the air contained so many unspeakable emotions.
enough.
His life has been enough.
The metallic taste surged into his throat again, and this time he could no longer suppress it, turning his head and vomiting blood violently.
Jiang Liqian panicked when her pupils trembled violently. She anxiously held his shoulders, repeatedly asking him what was wrong, and several times she wanted to disregard his wishes and forcefully examine his body.
If it weren't for the fact that the body's owner would strongly resist and cause him further harm, Jiang Liqian would never have tolerated it again.
"I'm fine, Senior Sister. It's just that the Soul-Capturing Nails have had a bit of a significant effect on me. I need to rest for a while..."
Soul-capturing nails, soul-capturing nails—how could she forget!
Although the Soul-Seizing Nail did not damage his dantian, if his cultivation level was unstable and he was severely injured by the Soul-Seizing Nail, it could very likely affect his primordial spirit.
"Your soul is not in your body, your primordial spirit... tell me, have you recently broken through to a higher realm?"
He must have used a magical artifact to conceal his cultivation level, which prevented her from immediately recognizing his true condition.
What exactly is he trying to do?!
Don't you value your own life at all?
Xu Youan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, took a breath, and smiled at his senior sister: "Don't be nervous, senior sister, I'm fine, really. It's just that, as you guessed, I just broke through to the next realm not long ago, my aura is unstable, and I also have the Soul-Seizing Nails... I can hold on, senior sister, let's go."
Jiang Liqian no longer believed him, but he had refused to say anything, and now was not the time to pry. The disciples of the Discipline Hall were right behind them, and they had to leave quickly.
However, flying on a sword was out of the question. Even with a barrier, the impact would be too great, so she decided to carry Xu Youan on her back and walk on the ground.
To avoid being tracked, she was going into the desolate forest this time.
