Yellow Springs Saber Acknowledges Master, Jingyan Palace Successor!

In the image.

A youth dressed in black, with a sharp, chiseled face and a cold demeanor, held the Yellow Springs Saber, looking like a god of slaughter, cleaving enemies in two!

His own body was covered in horrific wounds!

The scene shifted like a carousel.

This Yellow Springs Saber was either engaged in slaughter or on its way to one.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, Qin Shuang felt a suction force from the Yellow Springs Saber in his hand, drawing some of his Qi and Blood.

[Yellow Springs Heavenly Saber (Loyal to Master): High-grade Spirit Artifact 10%, can evolve by devouring weapon spirits!]

At the same time, a notification popped up in his mind.

More information flooded his consciousness.

"High-grade Spirit Artifact?"

"It can evolve by devouring other weapon spirits?"

Qin Shuang looked at the notification on the panel, his eyes showing a hint of shock.

At this moment.

Qin Shuang felt his consciousness connect with the Yellow Springs Saber in his hand, as if they had become one. He could even sense a consciousness within the Yellow Springs Saber.

"Is this the weapon spirit of the Yellow Springs Saber?"

Qin Shuang closed his eyes. He sensed that the consciousness within the Yellow Springs Saber was overjoyed and excited by his arrival, slowly approaching his consciousness.

The weapon spirit of the Yellow Springs Saber was ice blue, shaped like a flame, emitting a terrifying power.

"It needs to devour weapon spirits and Nine Heavens Profound Ice Iron to evolve?"

Qin Shuang sensed the information from the weapon spirit, his eyes showing a thoughtful expression. He communicated with the weapon spirit mentally. "Weapon spirit, wait until I reach the Divine Wheel Realm, and then I'll find weapons with weapon spirits for you to devour!"

Qin Shuang knew clearly, Only high-grade Spirit Artifacts possessed weapon spirits.

Generally, those who possessed high-grade Spirit Artifacts were definitely in the Divine Wheel Realm. To have the Yellow Springs Saber devour weapon spirits for advancement, he had to wait until his cultivation broke through to the Divine Wheel Realm. Otherwise, it would be suicidal.

The weapon spirit seemed to sense Qin Shuang's intention, its flame-like form dissipated, and it merged back into the Yellow Springs Saber.

Qin Shuang withdrew his consciousness and slowly opened his eyes.

At the same time.

A Divine Eagle circled in the sky, swooped down, and landed on Chen Qinglang's shoulder. Chen Qinglang untied the wax scroll from its leg. Seeing Qin Shuang awake, he immediately bowed and stepped forward, presenting the scroll. He respectfully said, "Guild Master, a Divine Eagle from Qingzhou City has sent a message!"

"En."

Qin Shuang took the wax scroll, crushed it, and read for a while. His brows furrowed deeply.

The intelligence came from Jin Shisan.

It said that according to rumors in the martial arts world, the renowned divine weapon of the peerless demon, Li Tianhen, from 110 years ago, the 'Yellow Springs Heavenly Saber,' had reappeared and fallen into the hands of Qin Shuang, the Guild Master of the Azure Dragon Society.

Qingzhou City was abuzz with the news.

Yesterday, many martial arts experts had arrived in Qingzhou City, including the saber genius of the Divine Saber Sect, known as 'Overlord Saber' Xiao Jiulang, the Saintess Yu Shiqie of the sacred land Pudu Jing'an Nunnery, Tang Jie, a rising star of the younger generation from the Tang Sect, and many experts from major forces such as Thunderclap Hall, Pushan Hall, True Martial Hall, and the demonic Nine Nether Mansion had all appeared in Qingzhou City.

Overlord Saber Xiao Jiulang was even staying at his Fusheng Restaurant, and the inns around the restaurant were filled with martial arts experts.

The Azure Dragon Society had already been controlled by Xiao Jiulang and Tang Jie from the Tang Sect. Furthermore, these two had also taken control of the guilds in surrounding cities like Jinyong City and Fengye City and sent people into the mountains to search!

Jin Shisan, Su Shi'er, and Jiang Shi'yi had received the news in advance and fled. The Divine Eagle's message urged him to evade as soon as possible!

"Miss Nangong's guess was correct... The Yellow Springs in my hand is indeed Li Tianhen's Yellow Springs Heavenly Saber from 110 years ago!"

After reading the letter, Qin Shuang's eyes flickered with a sharp killing intent, and he muttered, "Xiao Jiulang, Tang Jie! Those two sons of bitches! One day, I will chop off your heads with the Yellow Springs Saber!"

He hadn't expected that these two, one a genius from the Divine Saber Sect and the other a master of Tang Sect's hidden weapons, would occupy his restaurant and seize his Azure Dragon Society for the Yellow Springs Heavenly Saber!

At this moment.

Qin Shuang was only worried about the things he had buried under the date tree.

Qin Shuang tightened his grip on the Yellow Springs Heavenly Saber and looked at Chen Qinglang, saying in a deep voice, "Chen Qinglang, I plan to go and check near the area of the Beast King's Lair you mentioned. You guys find your own cultivation resources!"

He knew clearly.

Xiao Jiulang had gathered people from the guilds in the surrounding cities to search for him in the mountains. Being with Chen Qinglang and the others would make them too conspicuous. Even with the Life and Death Seal planted, he couldn't rest assured.

"That Beast King is too strong, Guild Master, please be careful!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qinglang immediately cupped his fists and said.

"En!"

Qin Shuang nodded to Chen Qinglang, shouldered a pack, and headed into the deep mountains.

Ten miles outside Qingzhou City, in Hualing Village.

A slender woman in black, with skin as white as snow, stood in a grove of trees with a long saber on her back. A chilling aura emanated from her.

"Qin Shuang, I hope you don't return to the city, or you'll surely die!"

Nangong Wan'er gazed in the direction of Qingzhou City, deep worry in her beautiful eyes. She then activated her movement technique and headed towards the Xuan Yin Mountain Range.

The reason Qin Shuang was discovered to possess the Yellow Springs Heavenly Saber was because of her.

If it weren't for Qin Shuang, she might not have been able to repel Situ Rui.

No matter what, she had to inform Qin Shuang.

Qingzhou City.

Azure Dragon Society Headquarters.

A tall, slender young man with long, nimble fingers and a short beard sat high on Qin Shuang's tiger hide chair. Below him, seven or eight people stood in terror.

"Life and Death Seal? Could it be that Qin Shuang is a successor of Jingyan Palace?"

Tang Jie's brow furrowed deeply after examining the Qi and Blood of the seven or eight hall masters and deputy hall masters in the main hall.

According to the records of the Tang Sect.

The Life and Death Seal was a peerless martial art from Jingyan Palace, a sect that was neither purely righteous nor evil in the martial arts world over two hundred years ago. Its palace master, Wu Xingyun, used this Life and Death Seal to control the experts of many martial arts sects, ultimately provoking public outrage. The contemporary successor of the sacred land Pudu Jing'an Nunnery rallied martial arts experts to attack Jingyan Palace, and Jingyan Palace vanished from the martial arts world thereafter.

He never expected.

That after more than two hundred years, the Life and Death Seal would reappear!

As far as he knew, the Life and Death Seal was terrifying, capable of making one wish for death but unable to die!

Once planted, an antidote was required once a year. Unless it was the person who planted the restriction, no one could remove it!

"Brother Tang, have you found out how they contacted Qin Shuang?"

Just then, a tall young man in a red robe, with several leather pouches hanging from his waist, flickered and appeared at the entrance of the hall.

"Ah... Ah, Brother Lei... you... let's talk outside..."

Seeing the young man in the red robe appear at the entrance of the hall, Tang Jie's expression changed, and his eyes showed apprehension. He gestured for the young man in the red robe not to come closer.

"Don't worry, Brother Tang. These things of mine are safe and won't explode easily!"

Lei Shengyuan chuckled and patted the leather pouches at his waist.

"The person responsible for contacting Qin Shuang has escaped."

Tang Jie looked at Lei Shengyuan, his eyes wary, and then continued, "However, all these people have been afflicted with Jingyan Palace's Life and Death Seal! It was Qin Shuang's doing!"

It wasn't that he was wary of Lei Shengyuan, but the leather pouches he carried were filled with Thunderclap Hall's firebombs and thunderstones. Once detonated, their power was terrifying, likely obliterating everything within several miles.

This was because thirty years ago, a senior from Thunderclap Hall, who brought a cache of firearms to a banquet, accidentally caused them to detonate. Not only were his remains obliterated, but several square miles were reduced to ashes. All four hundred-plus martial arts guests who were with him were killed in the explosion.

After that, martial arts experts would steer clear whenever they saw a Thunderclap Hall expert carrying leather pouches.

"Life and Death Seal?"

Lei Shengyuan's expression turned astonished upon hearing this.

As a true disciple of Thunderclap Hall, he had naturally heard of the Life and Death Seal. He immediately stepped forward and examined the hall masters and deputy hall masters. As he examined them, Lei Shengyuan's expression grew increasingly solemn, and he muttered, "A successor of Jingyan Palace, the Yellow Springs Heavenly Saber... this person's threat to the martial arts world is probably even greater than Li Tianhen's!"
