215: Chapter 215: Nalan Burns the Reeds, Asking the Swords Left and Right!

On the battlefield south of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, the battle cries of the Wilderness Demon Clan never ceased!

The sharp Sword Qi of the Sword Cultivators from the Great Wall of Sword Qi ravaged the battlefield.

There were older generation Sword Cultivators who died to protect the younger ones, and there were young Sword Cultivators who broke through their realms on the battlefield, killing enemies in a rage!

Yang Simu stood on the ramparts, his expression inevitably undergoing many changes.

It was not that he did not want to join the battlefield immediately.

Rather, Yang Simu's battle just now with Li Zhen, while seemingly effortless, had actually consumed a great deal of his energy.

The depletion of his Spiritual Qi was secondary; the primary issue was the exhaustion of his mind and spirit, which even gave him the urge to fall into a deep sleep.

Furthermore, if Yang Simu were to join the battlefield immediately, he would certainly attract the attention of many Yao Race Sword Cultivators.

Perhaps, there might even be Upper Five Realms Yao Race Sword Cultivators who would strike at him from the shadows, making it impossible to guard against.

Yang Simu furrowed his brows slightly, looked at Ruan Xiu beside him, and smiled, "Miss Xiuxiu, please help me act as a Protector; I need to rest on the ramparts for a while."

Hearing this, the girl with the ponytail smiled and nodded.

Yang Simu said no more, walked to a spot on the ramparts slightly further north, and sat cross-legged to begin breathing and absorbing Qi.

The only daughter of the Saint General Ruan Qiong, along with the three women who had walked out of the Goddess painting in Mural City—Goddess Xingyu, Goddess Qilu, and Goddess Guanyan—stood guard by his side.

At this very moment, it seemed as if the Sword Qi of the entire Great Wall of Sword Qi was rising and falling in rhythm with his breathing!

However, such a disturbance could not be perceived by Middle Five Realms Sword Cultivators, or even by those in the Jade Purity Realm.

Only Sword Cultivators at the Great Wall of Sword Qi who could truly be called Sword Immortals could sense it.

Several Sword Immortals in the sea of clouds above the ramparts looked down at Yang Simu, who was sitting cross-legged, and could not help but reveal looks of astonishment in their eyes.

One must know that usually, the only person capable of causing such a disturbance was the Grand Sword Immortal Chen Qingdu of the Great Wall of Sword Qi!

Above the sea of clouds, Dong Sangeng could not help but sigh with emotion, "What kind of dogshit luck did this kid have, to actually be favored by the Four Branches of Human Sword Dao?"

"Hmph, one of these days I should take my own Fatty Dong there to walk around as well!"

Hearing this, the several Great Sword Immortals around him were speechless.

Great Sword Immortal Qi Tingji retorted irritably, "If it were really that simple, then Sword Immortals would be everywhere under the heavens!"

"In any case, since the Grand Sword Immortal has chosen Yang Simu, we just need to wait for him to truly grow up!"

Great Sword Immortal Nalan Shaowei narrowed his sharp eyes slightly and asked in a deep voice:

"Don't you all think there is something strange about the fact that Yang Simu can control The Executioner, that ancient deity?"

Dong Sangeng frowned, looked at Great Sword Immortal Nalan Shaowei, and glared, "Old Nalan, Yang Simu said long ago that he learned this method from the Old Blind Man in the Hundred Thousand Mountains."

"As for that Old Blind Man, everyone understands what's going on; he possesses a secret technique to control a deity with broken divinity, which, while surprising, is within reason."

"Furthermore, even the Grand Sword Immortal hasn't said much, are you now going to doubt Yang Simu?"

Hearing this, all the Sword Immortals looked toward Great Sword Immortal Nalan Shaowei.

Great Sword Immortal Nalan Shaowei knitted his brows, "I am not doubting Yang Simu; I just find it a bit strange. Can't I even talk about it?"

"Besides, that Old Blind Man in the Hundred Thousand Mountains has been using Golden Armored Puppets to move mountains; who knows what he is tinkering with."

"But have you ever seen the Old Blind Man control the remains of an ancient deity?"

"Since the Old Blind Man hasn't done it, how can Yang Simu, a disciple who has followed the Old Blind Man for less than a year, be capable of doing so?"

Hearing this, the crowd could not help but reveal thoughtful expressions.

Sword Immortal Lu Zhi snorted and sneered, "Great Sword Immortal Nalan Shaowei, according to your logic, because you yourself cannot unify the Four Branches of Human Sword Dao, this young man Yang Simu cannot either?"

Hearing this, Great Sword Immortal Nalan Shaowei could not help but blush.

To be honest, he indeed had that thought in his heart.

After all, Yang Simu was indeed too young and had only been to the Great Wall of Sword Qi twice; how could he possibly have achieved all this?

Sword Immortal Lu Zhi stared at Great Sword Immortal Nalan Shaowei and said with some displeasure, "I have said long ago that the true Sword Cultivators from our Haoran World are not inferior to the native Sword Cultivators of the Great Wall of Sword Qi!"

The "true Sword Cultivators" this female Sword Immortal referred to were, of course, those who were willing to come to the Great Wall of Sword Qi to kill the Yao Race!

Seeing Great Sword Immortal Nalan Shaowei pondering in silence, Sword Immortal Lu Zhi continued coldly, "If A Liang were still at the Great Wall of Sword Qi, just based on those words of yours, he would definitely come to find you for a Sword Inquiry outside the city walls!"

Great Sword Immortal Nalan Shaowei felt a bit unconvinced, but he opened his mouth and ultimately did not speak, merely lowering his head dejectedly and snorting softly.

Within the Great Wall of Sword Qi, it was rumored from Yan Zhuo and Chen Sanqiu that Yang Simu's Eighteen Stops of Sword Dao were exactly what A Liang had taught him while in the Haoran World.

Given A Liang's temper, he might really be willing to engage in a Sword Inquiry for Yang Simu's sake.

Although Great Sword Immortal Nalan Shaowei had also once looked upon that damn A Liang with displeasure.

However, like the many Sword Cultivators of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, he had no choice but to admire A Liang's swordsmanship!

From one point of view, the eighteenth big character that appeared on the Great Wall of Sword Qi was the "Ferocious" carved by A Liang, and not any character carved by Great Sword Immortal Nalan Shaowei.

A Liang was able to swagger through the Wilderness World for many years and eventually kill an Ascension Realm Wilderness Great Demon.

A major reason for this was that he was not afraid of being ganged up on!

However, just when all the Sword Immortals thought this matter was about to come to an end, something that astonished them happened.

They saw the Great Sword Immortal Zuo You, who had always been reticent and kept a cold face toward everyone, suddenly take a step forward, stare at Great Sword Immortal Nalan Shaowei, and say with sharp eyes:

"So what if A Liang is not here? I will come to help Yang Simu with a Sword Inquiry!"

Upon hearing Great Sword Immortal Zuo You speak, everyone looked toward this eldest disciple of the Literary Saint with astonishment.

Completely opposite to A Liang, who used to hang around the alleys and wine shops of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, Great Sword Immortal Zuo You had always preferred peace and quiet and would never easily go into the city.

Therefore, regarding Great Sword Immortal Zuo You, most people only knew his name and had never seen him many times.

The most illustrious time Great Sword Immortal Zuo You ever drew his sword was when he traveled alone into the Wilderness World with his sword and issued a Sword Inquiry to four Wilderness Throne Great Demons simultaneously!

It was just that even fewer people had seen that Sword Inquiry.

The crowd only then realized that at the Great Wall of Sword Qi, besides A Liang, this Great Sword Immortal Zuo You also had an extraordinary relationship with Yang Simu!

However, didn't the Grand Sword Immortal clearly say before that the reason Great Sword Immortal Zuo You went to the Wilderness World was because of a promise with Yang Simu?

Since that was the case, Great Sword Immortal Zuo You shouldn't be taking action for Yang Simu again at this time.

The other Sword Immortals just felt puzzled, but the one with the most unsightly expression was none other than the old Great Sword Immortal Nalan Shaowei.

He had only said a few words about Yang Simu, and first he was needled by Sword Immortal Lu Zhi, the female Sword Immortal who also came from the Haoran World, and now Great Sword Immortal Zuo You was going to directly issue a Sword Inquiry to him!

At this time, there was no major battle requiring their intervention, and the many Sword Immortals were idle anyway, so no one tried to dissuade them.

That Hidden Official with two pigtails was even more eager for trouble, clapping her hands and shouting:

"Old Nalan, if I were you, I wouldn't be able to endure this!"
