Chapter 1503: Conjecture and Repayment
Duan Qing took a closer look and found that it was Yan Kuan's Sword of Time.
After he captured Yan Kuan earlier, in order to test Yuan Wuwu, he made up a lie, saying that Yan Kuan self-destructed and died, and asked Yan Kuan to remove the mark in the Sword of Time. He then damaged the Sword of Time and brought it back. Use it as evidence to convince everyone.
As a result, even though Liu Cun was the only one left, Yuan Wuwu still insisted on killing Liu Cun, allowing Duan Qing to fully see Yuan Wuwu's true purpose.
At that time, Yan Kuan's Sword of Time was casually abandoned at the entrance of the cave.
With these things flashing through his mind, Duan Qing's eyes lingered on the broken Sword of Time on the ground for a moment before he prepared to leave.
But just as he opened his legs, Duan Qing retracted his legs and looked at the Sword of Time on the ground again, stunned!
It seems... something is wrong!
Duan Qing was stunned for a moment, and then a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred in his mind. He quickly took out a blank jade slip from the inner mustard and threw it to the ground casually.
Before the blank jade slip hit the ground, it was affected by the tide of space and quickly floated towards the entrance of the cave like a piece of driftwood floating on the water.
After watching the jade slip disappear into the cave, Duan Qing looked at the broken wooden sword that was motionless on the ground and fell into deep thought.
Obviously, when the space tide occurs, everything will be affected by the space tide to some extent, such as himself, but the thrust of the space tide he receives is small, and with his strength, he can easily resist it.
Ordinary dead objects, such as the jade slip just now, have no resistance on their own and can easily be sucked into the cave.
But... why does Yan Kuan's sword seem to be ignoring the tide of space at this time!
Duan Qing knelt down, picked up the Sword of Time from the ground, and carefully looked at the broken Sword of Time in his hand.
After pondering for a while, Duan Qing put away Yan Kuan's Sword of Time, closed his eyes, and let Xiaodie wake up Yan Kuan.
…
After a while, Yi Yuan came forward and saw Duan Qing standing still, he couldn't help but ask softly.
"Brother Qing, what are you doing?"
Duan Qing came back to his senses, a flash of joy flashed in his eyes, and looked at Yi Yuan beside him: "Brother Yi came just in time, go and bring Liu Cun over."
"What's wrong, what did Brother Qing find?" Yi Yuan was puzzled.
Duan Qing nodded: "Maybe, but I can't be sure yet."
Yi Yuan did not dare to neglect, and immediately returned to the crowd and escorted Liu Cun to Duan Qing's side.
Duan Qing looked at the dejected Liu Cun and went straight to the point: "Brother Liu, is the Sword of Time still there?"
Liu Cun said nothing, but looked at Yi Yuan with a bitter look on his face.
Yi Yuan reacted immediately and took out a storage bracelet from his arms: "I have this piece of shit's storage bracelet. It was confiscated when I arrested someone earlier."
Duan Qing glanced at Yi Yuan, indicating that he should return the bracelet to Liu Cun.
Yi Yuan simply followed the instructions immediately.
Until he got the bracelet, Liu Cun still couldn't believe it and stared at Duan Qing warily: "What do you want to do?"
Duan Qing did not answer Liu Cun, but shouted softly in an almost commanding tone: "Take out your Sword of Time!"
Liu Cun glanced back and forth between Duan Qing and Yi Yuan, gritted his teeth, put the bracelet on his hand, and used his Sword of Time.
Compared with Yan Kuan's Sword of Time, Liu Cun's Sword of Time is much better preserved, with no damage on the surface.
"Use all your strength to attack this place." Duan Qing pointed to a place on the ground next to him and ordered again.
Liu Cun hesitated for a moment, but still did as he was told, using his sword control skills, the Sword of Time came out of his hand, suddenly flew high into the air, then turned around and plunged straight into where Duan Qing was pointing.
Clang!
After hearing a crisp sound, Liu Cun's sword plunged straight into the ground of the green world for about three inches.
Seeing this scene, Duan Qing and Yi Yuan's eyes lit up, while Liu Cun was not surprised by this and seemed to have known the result for a long time.
"Brother Qing, what's going on?" Yi Yuan's face was full of curiosity.
Almost everyone who enters the inner mustard will try to attack the green world and the cave after waking up, and Yi Yuan is naturally no exception.
But with his strength, at most he could only leave a shallow mark on the green world and the cave, and he couldn't even scrape off even a few debris.
However, Yi Yuan couldn't help but be surprised that Liu Cun was able to insert the Sword of Time into the ground of the Green Realm.
Duan Qing and Yi Yuan looked at each other and pointed at the Sword of Time stuck in the ground: "The key lies in the Sword of Time."
"Every member of the Tianji Sect's Sword of Time is forged from his own Azure Tree, and this person's Azure Tree has the same origin as this Green World."
"So, we can't hurt the green world and the cave in the slightest, but this person can do it."
This result was obtained based on what Yan Kuan said and combined with his own speculation.
Hearing what Duan Qing said, Yi Yuan suddenly felt happy: "Brother Qing means that this person's Sword of Time is the key to our escape?"
Before Duan Qing could respond, Liu Cun next to him mocked Yi Yuan.
"Haha, you are in vain to be called the Taoist disciple of Tianding Sect, you are such a pig-headed person!"
"If Liu's Sword of Time could get out of trouble, do you think you could have met Liu and Senior Brother Yan here?"
Yi Yuan's face instantly darkened, and he secretly cursed himself for being stupid.
Yes, after Liu Cun and Yan Kuan woke up, they must have tried to attack the green world and the cave. If this method had worked, these two people would have escaped long ago.
Liu Cun walked to the Sword of Time and pulled out the Sword of Time with all his strength.
As the Sword of Time was pulled out, the sword marks on the ground immediately began to repair quickly and returned to their original state in an instant.
"See, that's it. Not to mention that it's just Liu, even if we call all the people from the Tianji Sect, the effect of the attack may not be as fast as the recovery of the Eternal Azure Tree!"
As he spoke, Liu Cun's expression was quite complicated.
In fact, if he hadn't just heard what Wu Huqing said, he didn't know that other people were completely unable to hurt the Eternal Azure Tree.
Before this, he always thought that other people were in the same situation as him and Senior Brother Yan Kuan.
The reason why he and Senior Brother Yan Kuan chose to follow Yi Yuan and others was purely because they thought that there was strength in numbers. When they gathered more people, they might be able to force their way out of this place.
If he had known this was the case, he would have guessed that this place was inside the Eternal Azure Tree. How could he and Yan Kuan foolishly follow Yi Yuan and others and end up like this!
Come to think of it, it's their fault for being preconceived. They have been acting with Yi Yuan and others for such a long time, and they haven't discussed this matter carefully with others!
Yi Yuan glanced at the ground that had returned to normal, and then turned his gaze to Duan Qing: "Brother Qing, what do you think?"
Duan Qing sighed softly: "There is a way. Although the possibility of success is not high, it may be worth a try."
After that, Duan Qing directly released Yan Kuan from the inner mustard.
Seeing Yan Kuan suddenly appear, Yi Yuan and Liu Cun were both shocked.
"How can this person still be alive?"
"Senior Brother Yan!"
Duan Qing ignored the two people's exclamations, but took out Yan Kuan's broken sword of time and handed it to Yan Kuan: "I saved your life before, now... it's time for you to repay me."
