Chapter 940: Chapter 372: Only I Am Invincible!

You State State City Yan’an County.

Inside a secluded courtyard of a civilian residence, Qingxuzi nodded slightly upon hearing the words: “Ji Qianqian’s position is deep within the heart, extremely important.”

To some extent, this woman could even affect the rise and fall of the Formless Divine Sect, how could the Formless Divine Sect not to place great importance on her?

Especially because this woman was raised by that person, how could they possibly feel at ease?

If it weren’t for Wan Qi Luohou’s suggestion, they would have found a way to remove or dismiss this woman long before the opening of the Cloud Sea Immortal Palace.

Sect Master Li Changsheng trusts Wan Qi Luohou completely, without skepticism.

However, several Great Elders in the Elder Council are all deeply worried, and harbor deep concerns.

That’s why there is this trip to Yan’an County.

“Deep within the heart?”

Wan Qi Luohou muttered softly, realizing that the upper echelons of the Formless Divine Sect place much more importance on Chu Xisheng than he had imagined.

He then smiled broadly and placed a stack of pale yellow tokens in front of Qingxuzi: “Martial Uncle, the reason I suggested the sect not take any action is naturally based on evidence.”

Qingxuzi raised his white eyebrows at the sight, picking up those tokens.

“What’s this? Is it the letter that Ji Qianqian sent to you?”

“Correct! Since she changed her name and hid by Chu Xisheng’s side, she reports to me once every half month. If there’s an emergency, she’ll send more tokens.”

With a ‘swish,’ Wan Qi Luohou opened the folding fan in his hand, swaying it in the dead of winter: “You can look at what she wrote and understand why I offered such advice.”

Qingxuzi was already looking.

He perused the letters swiftly in an instant.

Then he ‘hmm’ and fell into contemplation: “I see, her attitude is gradually changing. Initially, her words seemed perfunctory, yet she meticulously recorded the information she found out.

A few months later, her words seemed substantial and continuous, but the content was merely trivial matters of little importance or gossip long rumored in the Jianghu. Has her heart changed?”

Qingxuzi said this, his white eyebrows slightly furrowing: “But is that possible? Could a disciple taught by the ‘seven generations of Shangfu’ abandon her long-held belief and her senior brother’s orders due to emotions between men and women? Don’t forget, she practices the ‘I Am the Only One Blade’!”

This sword skill is extremely unique, not only requiring a powerful will but also steadfastness in one’s mind and beliefs, unyielding to wavering.

Qingxuzi is uncertain whether Ji Qianqian has fallen into romantic feelings.

But what else in this world could cause a Police Pool of Blood Thousand Households, loyal to the court, to betray without reason?

Considering Chu Xisheng’s appearance, the cause is naturally imaginable.

“Martial Uncle, your words are incorrect.”

Wan Qi Luohou covered his lips with the folding fan, chuckling softly: “Don’t forget, Chu Xisheng is currently an official Deputy Commander of the Police Pool of Blood. So in Ji Qianqian’s eyes, the one violating court laws and breaching her beliefs and limits is someone else.”

Qingxuzi was momentarily stunned, then incredulous: “How is this possible?”

“Why is it impossible?”

Wan Qi Luohou laughed and retorted: “A woman in love easily breaks her limits and invariably imagines her lover in a favorable light. Ji Qianqian is no exception. Martial Uncle, the martial art ‘I Am Supreme Blade’ is quite interesting; this blade uses one’s own will as the blade, cutting everything. It can be said to be ‘One Thought Breaks All Techniques.’

Therefore, practitioners of this sword skill must uphold their own judgments and opinions towards all things, resisting self-doubt in battle. However, correspondingly, as long as she firmly believes she isn’t wrong, her mind and beliefs will not collapse. Thus, the more obstinate and biased a person is, the stronger the sword skill becomes.”

“I see.”

Qingxuzi understood Wan Qi Luohou’s implication, his eyes flickering.

In other words, even if the future emperor commands to execute Chu Xisheng, if it doesn’t align with Ji Qianqian’s reasoning, she wouldn’t execute it? Perhaps even turn her blade?

“Which means, the supreme treasure sword painstakingly forged by the seven generations of Shangfu ultimately may point its edge back at him. But are you sure Ji Qianqian’s feelings towards Chu Xisheng could make her betray the court? Betray the emperor?”

“I’m not sure, but there’s no harm in trying. Martial Uncle, you don’t know, when I assigned her a task a month ago, she rejected it from her heart. Also, Ji Qianqian’s background is problematic, not simply an orphan; it likely relates to the abolished crown prince case from over ten years ago, but I’m investigating the details.”

Wan Qi Luohou’s brows held a trace of coldness: “As for the Cloud Sea Immortal Palace, don’t worry. I’ve made some adjustments to their Deceiving Heaven technique. If they dare to target Junior Brother Chu, this technique will reveal a fatal flaw, and they’ll inevitably be killed by the Cloud Sea Immortal Palace’s Sword Puppet. So even if I misjudged Ji Qianqian, those people can’t harm Junior Brother Chu a hair.”

He said this and suddenly felt a sensation, laughing: “The Divine Split technique I left over there has reacted. It seems they’ve already entered.”

At this moment, Qingxuzi slightly regretted, furrowing his brows deeply: “You shouldn’t have come at this time.”

Knowing this, Wan Qi Luohou shouldn’t have been summoned from afar.

Yan’an County is over ten thousand miles away from the Cloud Sea Immortal Palace. At such a distance, if anything happens, Wan Qi Luohou might not be able to control the situation.
