Chapter 172: What Sword is This?
“Miss, through here, you can return to your body in this life.”
At this moment, Lian You brought Hu Qian’er’s wisp of memory to the cycle of reincarnation well, telling her. “You are merely a wisp of memory carrying some emotions, you need not dwell on the past.
“Just like a knife, if it is used by a wrongdoer to harm others, it is not the knife doing the harming, but the person wielding it. “
“Since Lord Yan himself has declared you innocent and not subject to punishment, you should no longer feel guilty about your past actions.”
“Thank you.” Hu Qian’er stood before the well of reincarnation, bowing to Lian You.
“This is merely my duty, no thanks are needed. Go back now, without this wisp of memory, you might miss a great marriage in this life.”
“Understood.” Upon hearing this, Hu Qian’er nodded, turned around, and plunged into the cycle of reincarnation well.
With the protection of Lian You’s lamp, the cleansing power of the well did not affect her, allowing her to safely enter the place she truly belonged.
…
“Damn it, why hasn’t Wan Yuxin destroyed the grand formation of the Jade Fox Palace yet? I can’t hold on much longer.”
At this time, within the Jade Fox Palace, Xue Po was alone restraining the elite disciples of the Jade Fox Palace, preventing them from going to support the palace’s grand formation or seeking help from the Immortal Alliance.
On the other hand, the elder Gu Li was being steadily defeated by Qingxue. The Profound Sword in Qingxue’s hand seemed truly not of this world, its power immense.
Furthermore, Qingxue’s swordsmanship was the Nine Heavens Mysterious Sword, its power surpassing the so-called evil techniques transmitted by the Evil Sky Emperor.
Even though his cultivation was higher, facing Qingxue, he was actually being suppressed.
“Damn it, Taihua Qingxue, that’s all you’ve got? Just relying on the divine sword’s advantage, do you dare to fight me on equal footing–!!!”

“Are you an idiot?!!” Upon hearing this, Qingxue couldn’t help but scoff, immediately, her sword rose to the heavens.
Behind her, the shadow of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady materialized into reality, and with a fierce strike, she slashed at Gu Li.
Clang–!!!
Just then, a figure suddenly broke through the void, blocking Qingxue’s attack.
“Old hag, you really strike hard, huh? If Gu Li, the head of the sect, dies, the sect master won’t forgive me.” Blocking Qing Xue was a man with golden pupils.
He wore a mischievous smile, looking at Qingxue with a light and challenging expression.
“What–!!!” At this moment, Qing Xue was shocked.
The man in front of her was not of higher cultivation than hers, not even an immortal… However, the sword in his hand emitted an evil aura that was terrifyingly powerful.
Even with her cultivation, feeling the evil aura of the sword up close made her heart palpitate.
“Gu Li, Xue Po, the mission is complete, time to retreat–!” After pushing Qingxue back with one strike, the golden-eyed man turned to Bone Li and Xue Po.
“Those below, Green Snake and Red Bat, stop fighting as well.”
As his words fell, the Silver-Eyed Green Snake and the Green-Eyed Red Bat both unleashed their aura, blocking the pursuit of Ren Bai and Hu Lan, then returned to the side of the golden-eyed man.
At that moment, Ren Bai, Hu Lan, and Qingxue rose into the sky, blocking their escape route.
All the elites of the Jade Fox Palace, led by Hu Qian’er, surrounded the black-robed elites, preventing their escape.
This battle, the Jade Fox Palace suffered many casualties; how could they let them come and go so freely?
“Where is Wan Yuxin?” Not concerned about her own troops being heavily surrounded by the enemy, Xue Po asked.
“She’s done for.” The golden-eyed man spoke, “I’ve pursued her so many times, and she wouldn’t even let me touch her. Good riddance.”
“What–!!!” Upon hearing this, Xue Po was shocked, “Wan Yuxin could handle a couple of moves even against immortals.
“Could it be that Hu Xunfang has come out of seclusion? Or did reinforcements from the righteous Immortal Alliance arrive?”
“None of that, she just fell at the hands of the man she was after.” The golden-eyed man spoke.
“What? A mere Spiritual Insight realm, hahaha… I’m dying of laughter, Wan Yuxin, usually so ruthless, actually handed over her life so obediently in front of a man?”
Upon hearing this, Gu Li and Xue Po both burst out laughing.
“Alright, stop it, Wan Yuxin is after all the current saintess of the Evil Sky Sect… Mocking her like this in front of outsiders, I feel a bit bad.” The golden-eyed man said, his gaze then drifted towards Hu Qianzao.
“But speaking of which, how come this beauty looks so much like Wan Yuxin? Why not take her back to warm my bed. If I can’t have Wan Yuxin, finding someone who looks like her isn’t bad either.”
“Hmph–!!!” Just then, Ren Bai moved swiftly, his long saber already slashing towards the golden-eyed man.
The palace master, whom he always regarded as his own daughter, how could he allow others to speak of her in such a manner?
And the golden-eyed man blocked Ren Bai’s long saber with his sword.
Boom–!!!
The clouds in the sky were split apart by the force of this strike, creating a long chasm a million miles long.
“Ouch, got angry, huh? To care so much about her, could it be that she is the master of the Jade Fox Palace? Tsk tsk, really beautiful, I’ve decided, one day, I’ll make her my demon puppet, just like these two treasures of mine.”
The golden-eyed man’s long sword blocked Ren Bai’s long saber, slightly lifting the corners of his lips.
As he spoke, two figures appeared beside the golden-eyed man, the great demons Silver-Eyed Green Snake and Green-Eyed Red Bat.
These two great demons, turned out to be his demon puppets–!!!
Whether it was Green Snake or Red Bat, both looked like beauties, but their expressions were somewhat vacant, seemingly devoid of emotion.
Ren Bai’s expression changed drastically. Not because the opponent had two demon-level puppets, but because he could not believe that his full-strength strike did not harm the opponent at all.
It wasn’t that the opponent used some powerful spell, nor was his cultivation higher than Ren Bai’s. The opponent didn’t even have the cultivation level of an immortal.
What truly shocked him was the sword in the opponent’s hand. Such immense, such dense evil energy, it even made his saber feel like it was being corroded.
Both great demons attacked Ren Bai at once, forcing Ren Bai to quickly retreat.
“What sword is this–!!!” He asked the golden-eyed man.
