Qing Yunzi spoke very decisively. He couldn't withstand it, plain and simple. Even at the cost of some reputation, he didn't want to lose this wisp of his nascent soul. Otherwise, it would take a long time to nurture it again.

Now, as long as this wisp of nascent soul remained intact, his losses would be minimal.

That soaring, terrifying sword intent, and the gathered Heaven and Earth spiritual energy, even if his true body were here, he would have to treat it with caution. A slight mistake could lead to serious injuries.

The Sword God lived up to his name!

In terms of sword intent alone, Jiang He had already surpassed him, a Transformation Yang Perfected Person.

It was estimated that this person was only one step away from Transformation Yang. If so, why make things so stiff? The longer one lived, the more one understood the principle of self-preservation.

Jiang He's existence was destined to surpass him in the future. Creating an enemy now would only add a formidable foe to himself and his sect.

As soon as Qing Yunzi's words left his mouth, the void fell silent.

A look of disbelief flashed in Xiao Yun Sheng's eyes. What did he just hear? Ancestor Qing Yunzi actually conceded defeat, saying he couldn't withstand it?

How was this possible!

The gap between Transformation Yang and Heavenly Core was so vast. How could Jiang He possibly bridge this enormous divide?

But after Qing Yunzi spoke those words, even if he didn't want to admit it, he couldn't deny it.

Jiang He was simply powerful!

Powerful enough that they could only barely withstand three strikes, powerful enough to turn a Solid Core Grandmaster into a bloody mist with one strike, powerful enough to dare to set his sights on a Transformation Yang Grandmaster.

He lowered his head, exhaling a long breath. A feeling of disappointment lingered in his heart. Today's battle had even damaged his Dao heart.

Monk Guang Liang's heart was also filled with turbulent waves. He silently chanted 'Amitabha Buddha', understanding that today's matter would likely come to an end, and Jiang He's influence in Qing Prefecture would be unmatched.

Unless a Transformation Yang Realm expert stepped forward, no one would be his opponent.

But looking at Qing Prefecture, how many Transformation Yang experts were there?

Not to mention anything else, Qing Yun Sword Sect currently only had Qing Yunzi alone. Guang Ming Temple was slightly stronger, but not by much. Moreover, if a Transformation Yang Realm expert really came forward to deal with Jiang He,

Wouldn't the imperial court's experts just be eating dry rice?

Chen Yuan's heart also eased up somewhat. Before, he was a little worried about whether Jiang He could defeat a Transformation Yang expert. After all, this level of expert was almost legendary to him.

Fortunately, it seemed that Jiang He was still a cut above this time.

Even this Transformation Yang expert, Qing Yunzi, had no choice but to admit defeat.

Jiang He stood in the void, looking down at Qing Yunzi, his expression neither sorrowful nor joyful, but he didn't continue to attack. Instead, he said calmly:

"Do you believe it now?"

Qing Yunzi smiled, not feeling any loss of face, and said loudly:

"I believe it."

"So, what price are you willing to pay to keep them both alive?"

Jiang He continued to ask.

"Name your conditions."

From the moment Jiang He said the words "waiting for you for a long time", Qing Yunzi knew that he wanted something. Otherwise, he wouldn't have forced him out. Thinking about it now,

It seemed that Jiang He's final sword, 'Azure Fall', was meant to put pressure on Xiao Yun Sheng, forcing him to use the divine talisman and awaken the wisp of his nascent soul contained within the talisman.

Jiang He: "First, the grudges between Chen Yuan and Qing Yun Sword Sect are hereby written off. If you are unwilling, Core Realm Grandmasters must not launch sneak attacks, and can only send martial artists of the same realm to compete.

If violated, Jiang will personally ascend Qing Yun Mountain again to learn from the senior's skills."

Qing Yunzi frowned. In fact, even now, he wasn't very clear about what the grudges were. After all, he couldn't foretell the future.

He then turned his gaze towards Xiao Yun Sheng.

Sensing the meaning of the gaze, Xiao Yun Sheng immediately transmitted the general events and grudges to Qing Yunzi, also mentioning that Gu Chun was killed by Jiang He with one strike.

When he heard this, Qing Yunzi's face darkened without any surprise. No matter which sect it was, a Solid Core level Grandmaster was very important.

If Xiao Yun Sheng had burned the divine talisman earlier, even if this incarnation was destroyed, he would not have allowed Jiang He to kill Gu Chun. Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything now.

And Xiao Yun Sheng also had grievances that he couldn't express. If he had a plan, he certainly wouldn't be stingy, but Jiang He's sword was too fast, and he simply didn't have time to react.

He could only watch Gu Chun turn to ashes.

Qing Yunzi didn't speak, and Jiang He remained silent, quietly waiting for his reply.

After a moment, Qing Yunzi's illusory body turned slightly, and his gaze swept towards Chen Yuan. Immediately, he felt an overwhelming, powerful aura enveloping him.

However, this aura came quickly and went even faster, almost in the blink of an eye.

Nodding, Qing Yunzi said:

"Alright, this old man agrees. Disputes within the same realm should not involve Core Realm Grandmasters. Gu Chun's mind was blinded, and today's misfortune cannot be blamed on others."

"The second matter, Jiang wants to borrow your sect's Nameless Sword Tablet for a look."

This was the reason why Jiang He was waiting for Qing Yunzi to appear, the Nameless Sword Tablet! This object was a sword Dao spiritual object, rumored to have been left behind by an ancient expert with heaven-shattering cultivation, containing that expert's understanding of the sword Dao.

Many sword cultivators had gleaned something from the sword tablet. Although rare, there were still many people who had. Jiang He was confident in his talent and comprehension,

Now, he was even at the peak of Heavenly Core, so naturally he couldn't let go of such a treasure as the Nameless Sword Tablet.

Although this was only one of them, even a smaller piece was still precious because that sword Dao expert was recorded to be able to compete with the Human Emperor.

His realm was likely above the Six Realms of Tongtian.

Xiao Yun Sheng was somewhat unwilling. After all, this was the Qing Yun Sword Sect's treasure, something that the founding ancestor of the Qing Yun Sword Sect had snatched from Mount Shu and other sword sects.

Naturally, he didn't want to give it to Jiang He.

If the other party hadn't become enemies, it wouldn't be impossible, but he had first disgraced the Qing Yun Sword Sect and then killed Gu Chun, a Core Realm elder. If he also allowed him to comprehend the sword tablet, how would outsiders view the Qing Yun Sword Sect?

However, with Qing Yunzi present, it wasn't his turn to make the decision. Moreover, with his current strength, he was not yet qualified to have an equal conversation with Jiang He.

Qing Yunzi neither refused nor agreed, but said:

"Jiang He, your strength is indeed very strong. Even this sword, Divine Fall, could annihilate this incarnation of mine, but this old man can also make you pay an unbearable price.

I agree to your first condition, but this second condition will not do. The Nameless Sword Tablet is the treasure of my Qing Yun Sword Sect, how can it be easily lent for viewing?

If you want to view it, you must pay an equal price."

He indeed feared Jiang He's sword, but a Transformation Yang Perfected Person could not be so weak. Jiang He's second condition was too much, and he could not agree.

After a little thought, Jiang He weighed the strength between the two of them, and nodded after a moment:

"I will pay a sufficient price."

If he killed Qing Yunzi's incarnation now, there would be no possibility of negotiation. Even if he wasn't afraid, his goal was the sword tablet!

It was such a losing proposition.

"Alright, in that case, this old man will wait for you at Qing Yun Mountain." After saying this, Qing Yunzi didn't say anything more. He took a deep look at Chen Yuan,

His figure slowly dissipated, and a stream of light poured into Xiao Yun Sheng's sleeve, which seemed to contain something capable of carrying this wisp of nascent soul.

Xiao Yun Sheng took a deep breath. Since things had come to this, he couldn't stop the transaction between his ancestor and Jiang He, but he still felt a lot of resentment in his heart.

Today's events were witnessed by not many people, but not few either. It would surely spread throughout Qing Prefecture, and Jiang He would once again shake Qing Prefecture by stepping on the Qing Yun Sword Sect.

In summary, only the Qing Yun Sword Sect had suffered losses.

Now, he only hoped that Jiang He would run into a wall in front of the Nameless Sword Tablet and not comprehend anything. This possibility was very high, because throughout the generations, there had been many talented individuals in the Qing Yun Sword Sect who had comprehended the sword tablet.

However, very few were able to comprehend anything from the sword tablet, including him.

Jiang He should be no exception.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yun Sheng turned around and prepared to leave. The sword formation had been destroyed and couldn't stop him. However, as soon as he moved, he heard Jiang He's words:

"Sect Leader Xiao, please wait."

"What else does Envoy Jiang have to say?" Having been humiliated, Xiao Yun Sheng's attitude was naturally not very good, but he didn't dare to anger Jiang He, so his tone was relatively calm.

"Remember what this envoy said to Qing Yunzi just now. If your Qing Yun Sword Sect dares to attack Chen Yuan again, this envoy will personally ascend Qing Yun Mountain to demand justice."

Jiang He's tone was calm, but it contained a strong sense of confidence.

And Xiao Yun Sheng didn't think that Jiang He was just spouting nonsense anymore, because with his strength, he could really do it!

Xiao Yun Sheng stared at Jiang He, then turned to Chen Yuan, and said in a low voice:

"Xiao has remembered this matter. However, judging by Chen Yuan's style, I'm afraid that it won't be my Qing Yun Sword Sect who ambushes him in the future. Envoy Jiang must be clear about this."

"You don't need to worry about whether others will attack him. This envoy will attack the sect of whoever bullies others, but if there is even a slight involvement with the Qing Yun Sword Sect, hehe..."

A flash of killing intent flashed in Jiang He's eyes.

"Hmph."

Xiao Yun Sheng snorted coldly, and left with a flick of his sleeves. This time, the Qing Yun Sword Sect had suffered great losses. Most importantly, it was difficult to find a way to get back at them. Not to mention Jiang He, even this Chen Yuan was a troublesome character.

Among the current disciples of the Qing Yun Sword Sect, I'm afraid no one dared to say that they could steadily defeat him.

Watching Xiao Yun Sheng's quickly disappearing figure, Chen Yuan breathed a slight sigh of relief. This matter had come to an end. With Jiang He's deterrence,

Even if someone wanted to attack him, they would have to be quiet for a while.

And what he lacked was time.

After Xiao Yun Sheng left, only Monk Guang Liang remained. He squeezed out a warm smile and looked at the indifferent Jiang He, and said with a forced smile:

"Envoy Jiang, this poor monk will also take his leave."
