Mortal Mage

"Humph!"

Yun patted the dirt on her pajamas and climbed up. She stood up suddenly, leaped several meters away, and reached out to pick up the jade sword that was flying a hundred steps away.

"That's my master's sword!"

Li Xucheng also jumped up with shackles on his feet and reached out to grab the jade sword, but his speed was obviously slower than that of Yu Yun.

Yun smiled and said, "Oh, old man, don't try to kill yourself by trying to catch a lantern with a dung beetle."

As soon as she finished speaking, she had already touched the flying sword with one hand.

"listen!"

With a crisp sound, a stone hit the sword, and the jade sword flew up as if controlled by an invisible magnetic force.

"?????" The jade sword spun higher and higher, until it flew to the treetop, with a clang, and fell into the hands of a woman in green.

The three of them looked up again.

A woman with a melon-shaped face and dressed in green stood on the treetop with a flying sword under her feet.

The woman in green looked puzzled and looked down at the three people.

In the woods, there was a handsome man of eighteen or nineteen years old wearing a dragon robe, an old man in shackles, and a woman in a yellow nightgown.

The woman in green held a jade sword in her hand and slowly descended to the waist of the tree on the flying sword under her feet.

The woman raised her eyebrows slightly and took a breath with a hiss. The jade sword in her hand floated away from her hand, as if the sword understood the woman's thoughts. The woman pointed in the air, and the sword flew away, pointing at the neck of Yun.

Xiyun looked terrified. The woman in green was the one who had just saved her.

The woman in green stepped on the sword and approached Li Xucheng, frowning and asking in an embarrassed tone, "Li Xucheng?"

Li Xucheng stared with a dazed look on his face, showing surprise.

What kind of immortal can know a person's name just by looking at their face?

He stared at the woman in green for a long time and the more he looked at her, the more familiar her face became, but he just couldn't remember who she was.

The woman in green frowned and flew to Zhang Mingxuan on her sword. She hissed and took a deep breath again. "Zhang Mingxuan?"

"His Royal Highness?"

"His Royal Highness!"

"Your Highness! I, the guilty minister Li Xucheng, kowtow to Your Highness!"

"Ah..." Zhang Mingxuan was wearing a dragon robe but he didn't know whether to kneel or not.

"How is this going?"

Li Jing raised an eyebrow towards Zhang Mingxuan.

"...It's a long story."

Zhang Mingxuan stood aside and looked at Li Xucheng.

"Your Highness! This woman is Empress Tianze, Yun! Kill her now!"

Li Xucheng crawled towards Li Jing on his knees.

Li Jing put away his flying sword. "This is the territory of the Dust Wind Sword Sect. I am a disciple of the Demon Subduing Sect. I cannot kill people in the territory of another sect. It will only cause trouble."

When Yun Yun saw the flying sword leaving, he suddenly jumped up and fled away.

Li Jing glanced at Xiyun, then used his fingertips to control the jade sword and chased after Xiyun.

At this moment, an invisible force came from the air and crashed towards the sword body. With a "clang", the speeding jade sword was broken into two parts. One part of the hilt flew on the vines, picked up a grass leaf and fell into the soil, and the other part pierced into an ancient tree with a "bang".

Several people looked up and saw that the gray-robed monk had come back again.

The gray-clothed cultivator looked around at the others and shouted at Li Jing, who was dressed in green, "What do you, the Demon Subduing Sect, want to do today? Do you still need me to call the elders to tell you the rules of my Dust Wind Sword Sect?"

"Daoyou, let's leave immediately!"

Li Jing responded to the gray-robed monk.

"Humph!"

The gray-robed monk flew away on his sword again.

"This is a sound transmission jade slip. If you meet Yu Yun again, crush the jade slip and I will be there immediately."

Li Jing fished out a bamboo slip emitting green light from the storage bag on his waist and threw it to Li Xucheng, who hurriedly took it in his arms.

She turned her head to look at Zhang Mingxuan; "You can go west for twenty miles and reach the nearby Qingniu Town. I will wait for you in Qingniu Town tomorrow afternoon."

She stared at Li Xucheng, who was shackled, in confusion and asked Zhang Mingxuan, "Zhang Mingxuan, I have something important to do right now. Do you want to break the shackles on Li Xucheng?"

Zhang Mingxuan hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.

"No! I am guilty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, with a "clang" sound, four stones hit Li Xucheng's hand and foot shackles at the same time, and the shackles broke at his wrists and ankles.

"Li Xucheng, if you kill a mortal in this world, you will be killed by the disciples of the six major sects. Think carefully."

She and Zhang Mingxuan looked into each other's eyes; "Zhang Mingxuan, you are amazing, I am very curious!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she flew up on her sword, reaching the treetops, then turned into a meteor and disappeared.
