Taoist Qingzhuo reached out his hand and with a wave, the stone sword stuck in the ground was lifted by an unseen force and turned into a streak of light, landing in Taoist Qingzhuo’s palm.
He glanced at the stone sword in his hand and carefully examined it, furrowing his brow. Then, he glanced at Qiao Mu, who remained motionless.
“Is he really close to death?” Taoist Qingzhuo wondered in his heart.
Taking the sword from a distance was to test how much strength Qiao Mu had left.
At the same time, it was also to take away Earth Sword Immortal.
Taoist Qingzhuo hadn’t forgotten that the purpose of his journey was to obtain Earth Sword Immortal.
After going around in circles, even though Earth Sword Immortal had already transformed into a sword and it was uncertain whether returning to the sect immediately could still save him, it could still be considered as indirectly achieving his objective.
“There’s no need to fight against this ordinary person. I have lived for more than a year and I don’t need to compete with someone so much younger. I will go to heal first.”
Taoist Qingzhuo transformed into a rainbow and soared into the sky, ultimately disappearing into the clouds.
All efforts couldn’t avoid destruction, the only difference was the timing.
Unlike the previous and later generations of the Qiao family.
Clairvoyance knew the situation outside in Jiu Province and had a rough idea of what the Immortal Slaying Army was all about…
The members of the Qiao family were different from the people in this isolated city. They had a choice, and with their abilities, even if they couldn’t defeat the inhumans, they could still live a prosperous life in the land of Jiu Province.
Although they were no match for immortals, this mysterious and powerful martial arts family could live freely, just like the Earth Sword Immortal back then, right?
This was also the reason why Captain Hai and others were repeatedly shocked by the deaths of the Qiao family members: They didn’t need to die, but they willingly sacrificed themselves and eventually perished in battle.
They didn’t care about gains, life or death, conspiracies, or whether they would be condemned by the powerful or killed by immortals. They cast aside all concerns, rules, and followed their own hearts.
“This is a great warrior,” Storyteller Clairvoyance sighed:
“When an ordinary person sees insult, they draw their sword and fight back. This is reckless, or at most, we can say it is bravery driven by emotion.”
“But true bravery is different.”
“In this world, a truly brave person remains unaffected when suddenly faced with danger, and doesn’t get angry for no reason. They possess great strength, and their ambitions are far-reaching.”
“They uphold integrity in their hearts, don’t prioritize fame and fortune, and consider life and death as insignificant. This is true bravery.”
After Clairvoyance spoke these words, Qiao Xiaoming’s face turned slightly red.
He was like a regret before Qiao Mu’s death, not an independent will. He was just temporarily surviving by relying on a small piece of tissue, waiting for the next Qiao Mu to die and be reborn, so he could gain the power of Qiao Mu and continue his existence.
Deep down, Qiao Mu also knew that he couldn’t be considered brave.
Between life and death, there is great terror, so people’s highest praise for warriors is “setting life and death aside”.
He was born immortal, but apart from the point Clairvoyance mentioned about “setting life and death aside”, everything else he said was accurate.
He had already put life and death aside, so he could act recklessly without any restrictions.
“It’s rare to feel such satisfaction..” He lifted his own body, allowing the old man of the arsenal to control him and enter Stone City.
Now is not the time to relax.
The elder of Immortal Gate fled, but that doesn’t mean we can let our guard down.
No one knows if Elder Qingzhuo will return or not, even if he doesn’t… who knows what kind of person will come next from the Nine Immortal Gates?
