Chapter 215:


    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,nding in Taoist Qingzhuo’s palm.


    He nced at the stone sword in his hand and carefully examined it, furrowing his brow. Then, he nced 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 topete 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.He didn’t take advantage of the dying Qiao Mu.


    Not sure if it was disdain or doubt in his heart, suspecting that this Qiao Mu was faking his death, once he approached, another Qiao family member would appear mysteriously.


    Captain Hai and hispanions drew their swords and stood on guard for a long time, but as martial artists, even with bows and arrows, they couldn’t pose a threat to Taoist Qingzhuo, who had turned into a streak of light and disappeared.


    They had to hurry over and try to treat the dying Qiao family elder.


    However, as they approached, they found that this unnamed Qiao family elder, though still with his eyes open, had already lost his breath at some point.


    “Why did it have toe to this…” Captain Hai let out a sigh.


    Although they had witnessed the deaths of several Qiao family members, they had only just met this person for the first time. They had no acquaintance with him, no expressions, and they didn’t even know his name…


    “If I had the strength, I would join this elder on the battlefield,” Qiao Xiaoming said softly, holding his head.


    “Captain Hai, there is no need to worry. Follow your heart and the path you choose, that’s all it takes.”


    “The direction of the heart, the path it takes… This is a principle to be put into action.”


    Storyteller irvoyance mused about this family motto that several generations of Qiao family members had recited, feeling nostalgic about it.


    Taoist Qingzhuo said that people spend their whole lives chasing fame and fortune, which is not necessarily wrong.


    When ordinary people do something, they usually have to consider whether it is beneficial, whether it can make money. If it is beneficial, they then assess how likely they are to seed.


    But some fools are not like that.


    The heart’s direction, the path it takes.


    When you want to do something, without considering whether it will be sessful, whether it will bring benefits, or even if it will end in failure or death… as long as your heart believes it is right, you do it without hesitation.


    “The direction of the heart is where the path lies. You can go beyond the brink of death, and even if you die, you won’t stop… Is this the reason why generations of Qiao family members died in battle? They truly are a respectable and admirable family…”


    Storyteller irvoyance sighed.


    He and the members of the Qiao family are all from the outside world.


    He knew in his heart that the people in this isted city had no choice, and all their fates led to eventual death.


    All efforts couldn’t avoid destruction, the only difference was the timing.


    Unlike the previous andter generations of the Qiao family.


    irvoyance knew the situation outside in Jiu Province and had a rough idea of what the Immortal ying Army was all about…


    The members of the Qiao family were different from the people in this isted 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 thend 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.


    Is this stupid?


    “This is a great warrior,” Storyteller irvoyance 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 irvoyance 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 irvoyance mentioned about “setting life and death aside”, everything else he said was urate.


    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 rx.


    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 wille next from the Nine Immortal Gates?


    Another elder? Higher-ups from another Immortal Gate, or even the Immortal Sect Leader?


    “The Hundred-mile Desert is no more, the secret hidden by the Nine Immortal Gates for forty years can no longer be concealed, and the existence of the white-headed soldier in the isted city is about to be exposed.” Storyteller irvoyance looked at the white-headed soldier in front of him, with many thoughts brewing in his mind.


    “But is the Immortal ying Army real or fake?”


    If there were an Army that can kill immortals in this world, it would be hard to hide from the watchful eyes of the Tide Listening Building.


    irvoyance’s mind told him that this thing was probably not real, but after witnessing several generations of Qiao family members who called themselves the Immortal ying Army and died for it, he became unsure again.
