Northern Continent
Liangcheng Daofu
Under the dark night, Jiang Cai came to his brother Jiang Qi's room with an opened letter in his hand.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Jiang Qi sitting on a wooden chair with a dark face and a bottle of wine in her hand. She looked up at him without saying a word.
When Jiang Cai saw this scene, he knew that he was angry with Zhuhao. He said, "Brother, they just came back and you were angry with them?"
Jiang Qi said helplessly: "Isn't that right? After coming back, I will only look for trouble. One moment, I said that the source stones provided by the mine were not enough, and the next moment, I asked us Dao Mansion disciples to go and experience it."
"I can see that we are worse than dogs in their eyes!"
After saying that, he picked up the wine bottle and started drinking. It seemed that he was holding back a mouthful of anger and had nowhere to vent it.
Jiang Cai shook his head and sighed: "They are strong and have a lot of power behind them. We can't afford to offend them."
Jiang Qi accidentally saw the opened letter in his hand and said, "Who sent the letter?"
Jiang Caidao: "Reply from Jian Baizi in the Western Continent. He wants us to send them the other half of the reward."
When Jiang Qi heard that it was Jian Baizi's letter, she hurriedly asked, "Did they send that kid's head?"
Jiang Cai, who was standing next to Jiang Qi, shook his head and said slightly dissatisfied: "You write back and tell them that if they don't send me his head, they won't want the rest of the reward!"
"Brother, I have something to tell you. I hope you won't be angry after hearing it." Jiang Cai saw that he was in a very bad mood and was worried that he would be furious after learning the contents of the letter, so he also gave him a warning in advance.
When Jiang Qi heard this, his eyes widened and he said impatiently: "Tell me, tell me, just tell me!"
Jiang Cai said slowly: "Jian Baizi said in the letter that he has encountered difficulties. Not only does he want us to send the other half of the reward, he will also ask for four times the source stone after the matter is completed."
Jiang Qi suddenly stood up from the wooden chair, immediately threw the wine bottle in his hand on the ground, and said: "Four times the source stone? I think he is crazy about the source stone! Why doesn't he grab it? Don't say four times. Even if it’s twice as much, it won’t be enough!”
"There are many forces in the Western Continent, and he is not the only one from the Black and White Jianmen family! If they think our remuneration is too low, then we will find the next one."
Jiang Cai persuaded them sensibly: "Brother, we have already given them half of the reward. Now is not the time to quarrel with them. Otherwise, the half of the reward we gave them will be in vain."
Jiang Qi said resolutely: "He is robbing us! They think they won't be able to find anyone else without us, so I want to cure his temper."
"What the hell? After all, it's a reputable force in the Western Continent. It's been so long that you can't even kill a boy in the Reincarnation Realm. Your work efficiency is so poor, and you still want to ask for a reward? What a shame that Jian Baizi has the nerve to say that!"
Jiang Caidao: "Brother, we have already paid half of the reward. We can't fall out with them now."
Jiang Qi angrily scolded: "Jian Baizi takes himself too seriously. We have the ability to find other people. There is no need to accommodate his Black and White Jianmen."
Jiang Cai said calmly: "You misunderstood. What I mean is that people in the Western Continent are unreliable. Even if you find someone else, are you sure they can handle the matter?"
"In their eyes, there is nothing else except the Source Stone."
"It's tens of thousands of miles from Liangcheng in the Northern Continent to Black and White Sword Gate in the Western Continent. He knows very well that we don't dare to go to the Western Continent, so he acted like this."
After hearing his persuasion, Jiang Qi suppressed her heart

He was so angry that his mind was in chaos, and he couldn't think of a solution for the moment.
He pressed his palms on the table, slowly sat on the wooden chair, and said, "What do you think about this?"
Jiang Cai placed the opened letter on the table, looked down at Jiang Qi who was sitting on the wooden chair, and said with an extremely sinister smile: "I don't intend to reply to Jian Baizi now. I'll wait for a while and see what happens. Decide."
———
Under the cover of night, Luo Yuan, wearing a bamboo hat and carrying a mahogany sword, was walking alone on a lonely mountain road. The dead trees on both sides exuded a gloomy atmosphere.
Maybe he felt something. He stopped and stood, his sharp eyes scanning the trees on both sides, but he didn't find anyone.
Suddenly, a slender jade hand stretched out, as if it wanted to snatch the peach wood sword he was carrying, but he was dodged by him who was well prepared.
Under the illumination of the moonlight, I saw a woman with short hair, a high nose, starry eyebrows and starry eyes. She was wearing a yellow outfit and had a fair face. She looked like she was only twenty years old and shook her head in disappointment.
After Luo Yuan saw her appearance clearly, his expression suddenly darkened. It was obvious that he knew the woman in front of him.
The woman spread her hands and said with a smile: "Don't be so stingy. I just want to see the sword you are carrying. There is no other intention."
Luo Yuan glared at her and said rather dissatisfied: "It's you again. From Fan City to here, you have never finished it!"
Faced with his cold questioning, the woman not only did not get angry, but smiled and said: "It's just a mahogany sword. I'll give it back to you after I look at it. I don't want to take it as my own. Why are you reluctant to part with it?" ?”
"Sword... Sword..." Because he couldn't remember the woman's name at the moment, he begged slightly embarrassed: "I have something urgent now, please stop pestering me, forget it. Can I beg you?"
The woman nodded seriously and said, "Okay, you can lend me the peach wood sword for a look."
Luo Yuan didn't even think about it, and immediately refused: "No! Since starting from Fan City, you have followed me sneakily, so much so that I have lost track of you now."
The woman walked towards him with a smile, as if looking at her prey, and said as she walked: "It's okay, it's okay, I know this place well, I can help you find someone."
Luo Yuan took a few steps back, tried to distance himself from her, and said directly: "No! I will find the person myself. I just ask you not to follow me anymore."
The woman's face changed slightly, she crossed her arms across her chest, and said in a soft voice, "You don't seem to be begging for help. In my opinion, you are chasing people away."
Luo Yuan shouted sternly: "Get out of here! I don't want to waste time with you here. If you don't listen to me again, I will be rude to you."
The woman glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, smiled nonchalantly, and said provocatively: "You're welcome? You really have a strong tone, but I don't know if you have the strength anymore?"
"I'm in a hurry to find someone and I don't have time to fight with you. Please stop following me." With that said, Luo Yuan turned around and left.
"Where to run!" The woman stretched out her jade hand to grab the peach wood sword he carried behind her back, but he dodged it unexpectedly.
Luo Yuan pointed at the woman and gritted his teeth and said, "Are you done yet? I already told you that I don't want to fight you, so don't annoy me."
Just because he had lost Zi Yang, he was already impatient. In addition, the woman refused to let him go because she wanted to see the peach wood sword on his back, which made him very angry.
The woman smiled slightly, but was not frightened by his words. She opened her beautiful eyes slightly, smiled calmly, and said: "If you don't show me that sword today, don't even think about leaving here."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Her face changed in shock, and she changed her previous chatting and laughing look, and said seriously: "Watch the move!"
With a slight flick of her slender jade finger, a sword energy flew out from her fingertips and headed straight towards Luo Yuan.
He immediately looked sideways and dodged, but unfortunately, he did not dodge the sword energy. His face was penetrated by the sword energy, and a string of blood beads came out.
Luo Yuan said angrily: "You..."
The woman said calmly: "Draw your sword, what are you waiting for?"
He adjusted his mood and pretended to be calm: "I don't hit women."
The woman smiled casually, looked at him and said with a smile, "Then I'm going to beat you."
Luo Yuan asked directly: "What on earth do you want to do to let me go?"
Seeing that he was a little resigned, the woman smiled and said, "Give me the peach wood sword..."
Before she could finish her words, Luo Yuan refused: "Don't even think about it!"
Perhaps because she saw that Luo Yuan would not take action against her, she said: "Okay! Then I don't want to think about it. Anyway, I have plenty of time to spend here with you."

Western Continent
sword city
Zi Yang, Hu Xiong, and Xiao Liu arrived at the gate of Sword City. Most of the people entering and exiting the city gate were sword cultivators carrying long swords.
Zi Yang looked at the sword cultivators coming and going, then looked at Xiaoliu beside him, and asked in a low voice: "Xiaoliu, isn't this Sword City also a town under the jurisdiction of the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce? We are still far away from the Ghost Domain. How far?"
Xiao Liu said slowly: "This Sword City is the territory of the Black and White Sword Sect, and the Ghost Domain is still behind us."
When Zi Yang heard this, he immediately said: "No. How far is the Ghost Realm from here? Why didn't you tell me in advance."
He turned to look at Tigress and said, "And you! You're not talking either."
Tiger Bear said with an innocent face: "I originally wanted to say something, but seeing you two keep walking forward, I thought you had your own plans, so I didn't dare to ask any more questions. Who knew you didn't even know the way? I don’t know how to go.”
"But don't worry, it's not that far from Sword City to Ghost Realm. It's only about ten miles."
Xiaoliu explained softly: "I'm afraid that the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce will be searching everywhere, so I came to Sword City to take shelter first. In addition, it will be some time before the Ghost Realm opens, so there is no need for us to rush there."
Zi Yang nodded and asked casually: "Who is in charge of this Sword City?"
Hu Xiong was the first to answer: "Sword City is the territory of the Black and White Sword Sect, and most of these sword cultivators are disciples of the Black and White Sword Sect."
Zi Yang looked at the sword cultivators passing by and said, "Xiao Liu, don't you think the two white and black crossed swords embroidered on their left shoulder clothes look familiar?"
When Zi Yang suddenly asked this question, Xiao Liu frowned slightly and said with a puzzled look on his face: "Have you seen them?"
Ziyang trusted Xiaoliu quite a lot at this time, and he did not doubt her when he came to Sword City, saying: "You may not have noticed that the black-clad sword cultivators who chased us in Fancheng last time were wearing the same clothes as these people. Exactly the same.”
Xiaoliu smiled awkwardly and said: "Then...should we go somewhere else?"
Zi Yang held up the clown mask on his face, shook his head and said, "No, they won't recognize us the way we are dressed now."
Huxiong leaned into his ear and said, "Ah? Are even the people from the Black and White Sword Sect looking for you?"
Zi Yang glanced at him sideways, as if to warn him not to talk nonsense, but he also kept his mouth shut very wisely.
Soon, the three of them entered Sword City along with the sword cultivators who entered the city.
