Remould the Glory of Sword Art

Heavy rain fell from the Heavenly Peak, like countless snow-white iron lines piercing through heaven and earth, only to be slowly broken by the Treasure Ship.

The Treasure Ship's speed gradually slowed and finally stopped.

"Uncle Master."

Su Hong's voice was slightly hoarse: "The Treasure Ship from Xuanzhui Mountain shouldn't be heading in the same direction as us, right?"

"..."

Qin Qianlian squinted his eyes, but before he could speak, a rumbling sound emerged from the other side shrouded in miasma.

Another Treasure Ship sailed into this area.

Moreover, the flag on this Treasure Ship was strikingly conspicuous, a black and white interwoven pattern of the Yin Yang Fish.

Anyone who has practiced in the Taoist sect would know that this is the "Yin Yang Mirror" of Longevity House!

This is the Treasure Ship of Longevity House!

On the Treasure Ship, the Guest Elder of Perfect Cave Heaven from Longevity House had a look of bewilderment, completely unexpected for such an encounter... Clearly, they and Qin Qianlian were heading in two different directions!

By no means should they have met!

The two Treasure Ships slowly sailed to the opposite side, and at this moment, the vast world suddenly seemed small.

"My Lord First Seat."

A disciple from the Refining Department behind Qin Baihuang spoke worriedly: "How did we encounter Qin Qianlian here? Do we need to be on guard?"

The disputes of the Qin Family had become widely known to everyone.

This time Qin Baihuang participated in the Southern Border Demon Cleansing, aiming to contend with Qin Qianlian for the position of Family Head—

The Yin God Venerables on the Xuanzhui Mountain Treasure Ship were injured, but at this moment, they were still alert. Just a few hours ago, Longevity House had dispatched disciples with a letter… The Demon Cleansing battle had not yet begun, but the tension between the two Qin brothers was palpable. Now, facing each other through the rain curtain, many worried a conflict would erupt next.

"Activate the Primordial Energy Shield."

Qin Baihuang looked at the white-clothed figure suspended in the air.

He frowned.

The incoming Longevity House's Treasure Ship seemed to have suffered heavy damage like Qingfu Mountain. Many injured disciples were on the Longevity House's Treasure Ship; although they did not encounter the "Green Owl," their injuries were still significant.

"Yes."

The disciple of the Refining Department received the order and left.

Soon.

The Primordial Energy Shield of the leading ship from Xuanzhui Mountain opened slowly.

After pondering for a long time, Qin Baihuang finally flew out, heading alone to meet Qin Qianlian not far away.

...

...

Heaven and earth were silent.

Black armor and white clothes were separated by only a dozen yards.

"I advise you to recognize the situation and don't act rashly."

Qin Baihuang spoke in a low voice, gesturing with his eyes behind him: "There is a Yin God of Eighteen Realms watching behind me… if you dare to mess around again, I won't spare you."

"..."

Qin Qianlian found it somewhat amusing for a moment.

"Trying to bluff me?"

"If I wanted to beat you, the Eighteen Realms behind you wouldn't be of any help in time… he should be quite injured, right?"

Qin Qianlian said nonchalantly: "But you can rest assured, with the enemy before us, I have no time to bother with you."

"You…"

Qin Baihuang's face was somewhat embarrassed, grinding his teeth in anger.

"I say, dear brother…"

Qin Qianlian chuckled softly: "Did you lower yourself from the ship just to say this to me?"

"Of course not."

Qin Baihuang said seriously: "The communication signal from Xuanzhui Mountain was damaged during the great battle, and we only managed to send out the retreat message… We lost contact with several other Zhanjiao Mountains."

"I know."

Qin Qianlian said lightly: "The news of Xuanzhui Mountain encountering the Green Owl and retreating first successfully got out."

"That's right…"

Qin Baihuang gnashed his teeth: "But now things are not right, very wrong. According to logic, my subordinates and I should have already left the territory by now."

"Probably a technique like 'Mountain Shifting Technique' has trapped us here."

Qin Qianlian said calmly: "You should feel it too, right? The terrain of the South Border is changing."

"... Hmm."

Qin Baihuang sighed lightly.

He looked behind Qin Qianlian at the Treasure Ship, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Is Qingfu Mountain alright?"

"Not good, many people in Longevity House died."

Qin Qianlian said with lowered eyes: "However, Heavenly Puppet Sect also paid a price… Most of the disciples were killed, but unfortunately, the Corpse Daoist escaped. I was pursuing him."

Although they had been apart for many years, after all, they were blood brothers.

Qin Baihuang knew Qin Qianlian's character; this guy is obstinate and relentless in revenge, very stubborn.

The Corpse Daoist's night raid on Qingfu Mountain.

Qin Qianlian could not let this person go unpunished.

"The 'bloodbath' of the Three Great Sects tonight was insane; they have already made up their minds for a desperate fight…"

Qin Baihuang spoke seriously: "Presumably, this 'Mountain Shifting Technique' is part of their plan after the assassination attempt."

The chasing of the Corpse Daoist by Qin Qianlian and the attempt to escape South Border by Qin Baihuang brought them together.

This was inevitably arranged by fate.

"So what do you want to say?"

Qin Qianlian still had an indifferent expression.

"The 'old accounts' between you and me… let's put them aside for now."

Qin Baihuang took a deep breath and spoke solemnly: "But I want to make it clear, putting them aside does not mean erasing them. The beating you gave me at the Refining Department, I will repay sooner or later… This Demon Cleansing concerns the lives of thousands of cultivators. Compared to these lives, the Qin Family's competition for Family Head is not important. Fighting each other now is meaningless."

Qin Qianlian's expression was somewhat complicated.

He never expected to hear such words from his brother…

But it also made sense.

From childhood to adulthood, Qin Baihuang never liked "fighting," though he was the legitimate eldest son, though he received all the favor, though he enjoyed most of the family's resources. But these seemed never to be what Qin Baihuang actively "fought for," like he always wanted to be a peaceful Artifact Refiner, a useless blacksmith.

"What do you mean? You don't want the position of the Qin Family Head anymore?"

Qin Qianlian chuckled softly.

"Nonsense."

Qin Baihuang replied ill-temperedly: "It's just a temporary truce; where did you hear that I don't want the position of the Qin Family Head?"

"Oh?"

Qin Qianlian raised his eyebrows slightly.

"The position of the Qin Family Head, I must secure it!"

Qin Baihuang said faintly: "It's just that I don't want to compete with you under these circumstances. Even if I win, I would feel guilty… If you agree, just nod. I see those wounded on your ship are seriously hurt. The Refining Department has a complete Holy Light Array and Cave Heaven Spiritual Treasures specialized for healing."

"..."

Receiving such an answer, Qin Qianlian silently laughed and quietly adjusted his sleeves.

The scene fell into silence once again.

Because Qin Qianlian neither nodded nor shook his head.

The pouring rain fell on the shoulders of these two brothers.

"So——"

Qin Qianlian tilted his head slightly, looking seriously at his brother clad in black armor, and suddenly asked earnestly, "Did you read the letter I sent?"

"Who would read such a thing?"

Qin Baihuang retorted sarcastically: "A bunch of useless papers, long discarded."

"... Alright."

Qin Qianlian sighed lightly and nodded: "So many years have passed, and you are still the same... I agree with you, for now, the old matters will be put aside; you help me save those injured disciples from Longevity House."
