Shi Feiyang sent Zhu Changyuan to the Southern Border to help rescue Bai Guanhong.
He then altered the heavenly fate surrounding Zhu Changyuan so that no one else could divine it. Zhu Changyuan himself was proficient in Yi Numbering, and every detail of what he should do first and what should follow, and at precisely what moment after reaching the Southern Border, had been clearly arranged.
No one else could handle this task. Either their abilities fell short, leaving them unable to pinpoint the perfect moment in time and space to carry out Shi Feiyang's instructions, or they were entangled in too many karmic ties and presented too conspicuous a target, making them easy to discover. Zhu Changyuan alone was the ideal choice.
Zhu Changyuan agreed and departed. Rather than spreading his wings, he used an earth-escape technique to travel quietly toward the Southern Border.
Shi Feiyang remained in Capital City, chiefly watching over Zhu Yitai and ensuring that he successfully refined the Ink Dragon Immortal Sword.
After learning that he was Geng Kun's reincarnation, Shi Feiyang's feelings had shifted somewhat. Watching the young emperor work diligently at refining his sword reminded him of the days when he had scraped by under Geng Kun. Back then, he had even had to address Geng Kun as his martial uncle and accompany him to deal with the Iron Umbrella Daoist of the Eastern Sea.
The years had turned, and in the blink of an eye, so much time had passed, with so many things happening along the way...
The witchcraft and gu practitioners of the Southern Border were being hunted down by nineteen Sword Immortals of the Green City Sect. Amid towering mountains and mighty rivers, clashes of swords and spells erupted one after another.
