Leng Qingxiang ran for the whole night but did not meet the Left and Right Guardians, nor did she find Qiu Yihan. Seeing the sky brighten slightly, she dragged her tired body to the small town at the foot of the mountain. The few shops that bought breakfast in the town had opened one after another. Smelling the fragrance of the food from the shops, Leng Qingxiang's stomach growled. She was indeed very hungry after a night of running on the mountain road.
"Waiter, two steamed buns and a side dish!”Leng Qingxiang walked into a breakfast shop and found an empty seat.
The waiter was very happy to see that there were customers so early in the morning. In a short while, he served two steaming steamed buns and a plate of their specialty cold dishes. "Miss, please enjoy your meal!" The waiter eagerly handed the chopsticks to Leng Qingxiang. Leng Qingxiang thanked her lightly and picked up the steamed bun to wolf it down. Seeing that she was eating with relish, the waiter happily walked to the door to receive the new customer.
"What would you like to eat, sir? Please come in and sit!”The waiter welcomed two Jianghu men with a smile on his face. The two of them were dressed in white robes and had long swords with jade handles tied to their waists. Judging from their attire, they should be disciples of the Carefree Sect. The two of them sat at an empty table on the right side of Leng Qingxiang under the waiter's guidance.
"Sir, what would you like to eat?" The waiter asked with a smile.
The slightly fatter man glanced at the cold and fragrant table and whispered,""Just give us two servings according to that girl's recipe!”
"Alright!" The waiter shouted and went to the kitchen to bring the steamed buns and vegetables.
Leng Qingxiang ate two steamed buns and a plate of side dishes. She felt extremely comfortable. She took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped the oil from the corner of her mouth, preparing to pay the bill. Just as she was about to call for the waiter, she saw the two disciples of the Carefree Sect sitting in front of her. She was very puzzled that the Carefree Sect was located on the top of Zhongnan Mountain and rarely went down the mountain. Now that they were here, could it be that something big had happened in Jianghu?
"Senior martial brother, this Sun and Moon Soul Assimilating Saber has disappeared for more than 30 years. How did it appear again?”
"I don't understand this either. In short, the divine knife must not fall into the hands of the Demon Cult, or else the martial world will suffer another catastrophe!”
The two disciples of the Carefree Sect whispered to each other before the dishes were served. Leng Qingxiang was very interested in their conversation. She thought that if she could get the treasured saber that they were talking about, the White Bone Cult would be hers sooner or later. By then, wouldn't Qiu Yihan be a chess piece in her hands?
Leng Qingxiang came to the table of the two men and sat down generously. She pretended to ask vaguely,"Big brothers, I heard you say something about the Sun and Moon Soul Assimilating Saber just now. Is something big going to happen in the martial world?”
"And you are?" The two men looked at Leng Qingxiang in surprise. They didn't expect that this woman could hear their conversation.
"I'm just a homeless wandering woman in the martial arts world. I heard you say that the martial arts world was going to be in trouble, so I just asked casually.”Leng Qingxiang pretended to be pitiful.
"Oh, it seems that you are also a warm-hearted person in the martial arts world. Then I will tell you!”The fat man paused for a moment and lowered his voice."The Sun and Moon Soul Catching Saber has reappeared in the martial world. Someone once saw the old man who disappeared for more than 30 years at the foot of Taibai Mountain!”
"Old man?" Leng Qingxiang didn't understand how the Sun and Moon Soul Assimilating Saber that shocked the martial world could be in the hands of an old man.
"It's Ouyang Lie, the one-armed swordsman who went missing with the treasured saber thirty years ago!”
"Oh!" Leng Qingxiang replied. When she was young, she seemed to have heard stories about him from the Left and Right Guardians. Ouyang Lie was a monk in Shaolin Temple when he was young. Later, he met Yan Ruyu, a disciple of the Peach Blossom Monastery, who changed his fate. In order to be with Yan Ruyu, Ouyang Lie did not hesitate to break his arm and leave Shaolin Temple to roam the Jianghu with her. However, it did not take long for Yan Ruyu's master to come to the door and want to take Yan Ruyu back to the Peach Blossom Monastery. Yan Ruyu refused, but unfortunately, their martial arts were not good enough for their master. Helplessly, the two of them were forced to jump off the cliff. After jumping off the cliff, Yan Ruyu died. Ouyang Lie did not die and unexpectedly obtained the Sun and Moon Soul-sucking Saber and profound internal energy. He cultivated at the bottom of the cliff for three years and then returned to Jianghu with the Sun and Moon Soul-sucking Saber. In order to avenge Yan Ruyu, those who had once stopped them from being together were all slaughtered by him. The Peach Blossom Monastery was almost destroyed by him. After taking revenge, he disappeared without a trace. No one saw his figure again. Unexpectedly, 30 years had passed and he actually walked out on his own.
"The food is here. Please enjoy!”The waiter's shout interrupted Leng Qingxiang's thoughts. She looked at the two men and smiled faintly."I still have something to do, so I'll leave first!”
"Alright, take care, miss!" The two men stood up politely and watched Leng Qingxiang leave the table.
Leng Qingxiang paid the waiter at the entrance of the restaurant and walked towards the foot of the mountain. She was not in a hurry to deal with Qiu Yihan. Instead, she wanted to find the One-armed Swordsman and snatch the Sun and Moon Soul Assimilating Saber. Even if she could not snatch it, as long as she could find the One-armed Swordsman's shadow, her father would definitely have a way to deal with him!
Leng Qingxiang jogged all the way to the bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain. Suddenly, she heard footsteps in front of her. There seemed to be a lot of people. Leng Qingxiang slowed down and walked forward slowly. Through the dense bamboo leaves, she vaguely saw a dozen men searching for something in front of them. They were all dressed in black. They seemed to be people from the Evil Dragon Hall of the East Sea. Could they have heard about the Sun and Moon Soul-Devouring Blade? Leng Qingxiang quietly followed behind them. A man said,""I heard from the old hall master that the one-armed swordsman likes peach blossoms very much. Wherever he goes, there will definitely be a few peach blossoms left behind. So, everyone, be alert and look for peach blossoms in this bamboo forest. If there are any, it means that the old thing really came here!”After hearing the burly man's words, the others respectfully acknowledged him and then dispersed, walking to every corner of the bamboo forest. Leng Qingxiang did not expect the one-armed swordsman to have such a hobby. It seemed that he was really a lover! She shook her head and smiled. She was going to find a place to sit down and wait to see if these guys could find a peach blossom. If they could, it would prove that the One-armed Swordsman and the Sun and Moon Soul Assimilating Saber had really come into being. If not, it would prove that this matter was a lie made up by those boring people. There was no need for her to waste time here. After thinking it through, Leng Qingxiang found a clean patch of grass and sat down on the ground, quietly watching the movements of those people!
About ten minutes later, a man shouted in surprise,""Quick, look. There are five peach blossoms here, and they're very bright!”Following his shout, everyone gathered in the depths of the bamboo forest. When Leng Qingxiang heard the shout, she quickly stood up and rushed into the depths of the bamboo forest like lightning.
"Boss, look!" The burly man said in surprise. He picked up the five peach blossoms on the ground and held them in front of the leader of the black-clothed burly man.
"Yes, it's still very fresh. Could it be that the old thing was here just now?”The black-robed man sneered as he looked around the bamboo forest. He happened to see Leng Qingxiang hiding behind the bamboo and shouted,""Who is it?" He then flew towards Leng Qingxiang. Leng Qingxiang was so engrossed in those peach blossoms that she didn't notice that the black-clothed man had already come to her side.
"Who did I think it was? So it's the Second Young Miss of the White Bone Cult!"
"Oh, so it's Manager Li from Evil Dragon Hall. I just passed by here and saw some movement inside, so I came over to take a look!”Leng Qingxiang said with a nonchalant smile.
"I see. I'm afraid you heard our conversation just now!”Manager Li said coldly.
"What? Isn't it just about the Sun and Moon Divine Soul Saber? I think it's just a joke made up by an extremely bored person!”Leng Qingxiang pretended to not believe him and giggled.
"Why do you say that? Then how do you explain these peach blossoms?”The black-clothed man shouted with some dissatisfaction. A little girl actually said that she had been deceived by others. Damn it!
Leng Qingxiang was about to speak when she suddenly heard a scream from the forest in front of her. The black-robed man shouted,"Not good!" He flashed forward. Leng Qingxiang also followed.
There were seven or eight men in black lying in the bamboo forest. The remaining five or six people looked panicked and fled in all directions. An illusory but dazzling saber shadow shot towards them like lightning behind them. Then, there were a few screams. Those men had been hit by the saber light and fell into a pool of blood.
Manager Zhang watched as his disciples were killed by the illusory blade light. He was so angry that his eyes were spewing fire. He hurriedly pulled out his big ringed blade from his waist. However, there was no one around. The enemy was in the open while he was in the dark. No matter how great one's ability was, there was nowhere to use it. Manager Zhang was a reckless person. He hated people hiding from him the most. He was so angry that his face turned green. He cursed,"Son of a b * tch, come out and fight me if you have the guts. Don't play tricks here!”As soon as he finished speaking, the strange saber shadow immediately shot towards his face. Manager Zhang sucked in a breath of cold air and hurriedly lowered his body. The saber shadow brushed past his hair. He was so scared that his face was covered in cold sweat and his legs were trembling. However, there was something even more terrifying after dodging this move. The saber shadow suddenly turned into countless illusory lights and surrounded Manager Zhang. He waved the big ringed saber in his hand, but no matter how strong he was, he couldn't rush out. When he was exhausted by this illusory light, the light instantly gathered into the strange saber shadow and shot straight at his chest. He couldn't dodge in time, and the saber shadow pierced through his heart and lungs. Manager Zhang only felt a burst of heat in his chest. His internal organs were like being roasted by fire, and he was in extreme pain. He screamed and fell to the ground. In a short while, his body was burning with raging flames. In a moment, his body had turned into ashes. The bodies of the men who had just died were also burning with flames. As the breeze blew, the flames rose and fell, igniting a few green bamboos beside the bodies, making crackling sounds. Leng Qingxiang was stunned by the strange scene in front of her. She trembled as she retreated out of the bamboo forest. However, just as she was about to leave the bamboo forest, the strange saber shadow actually shot towards her back…
