A woman in red robes sat inside the dark room. In front of her was a zither and next to her an incense pot. Several jade-like stalks of black jade-like bamboo were placed next to her.
“Just a weak woman of a dead family who knows some life-saving tricks. Fourth Mister Zhao, please do not laugh.”
Black smoke moved inside the incense pot. The figure of the red-dressed female seemed to waver in the air like a ghostly shadow. However, her voice was unusually clear, gentle, and inscribable polite. Her tone was a comforting one, and the dark room seemed to warm up.
The handsome young person’s furrowed brow eased slightly and his anger faded.
“We are all fallen people. Eldest Miss Shang should not be so humble.”
He bowed to the woman in the room and then walked into the dark room to sit down opposite the red-dressed woman.
There was a thin black silver curtain in front of the red-dressed woman’s zither. He looked through the curtain to meet the woman’s gaze.
The thick-browed young person behind him bowed to the red-dressed woman outside the door. However, he did not enter and turned to stand beside the door.
The red-dressed woman returned the bow from behind the curtain and then asked slowly, “Fourth Mister Zhao sent a messenger saying you had matters to discuss with me. What are those?”
Her voice was thin, but the speed of her speech and her tone all made people feel comfortable.
The handsome young person looked at the red-dressed female behind the curtain, this hegemon who controlled most of the Fish Market’s illegal business. He nodded. “My sect junior brother Zhao Zhan was killed by Ye Celeng. I think that Eldest Miss Shang knows of this matter.”
The red-dressed woman said softly, “Seventh Mister Zhao is one of the rare heroes of the world. His death is a tragedy.”
The handsome young person’s brows rose slightly.
Just like how Zhao Zhan started to give off an indescribable aura and charisma when Ye Celeng walked in to the courtyard, he also started to give off a similar presence of a sharpness hard to describe.
“In a few days, the world will know of the death of my sect junior brother,” he said calmly. “However, not many would know why my sect junior brother has hid in Changling for so long, or why he would die in Changling.”
The red-dressed woman said, “This weak woman is stupid and does not understand what Fourth Mister Zhao means.”
The young person looked at the red-dressed woman behind the curtain. He said, “You Qin Dynasty cultivators have always pursued us Sword Furnace members closely. Us Sword Furnace members, not just in Changling, if we stay for long in any city of the Qin, we will be detected. My sect junior brother knew this but did not fear death. He hid for three years in Changling, not to assassinate someone, but to search for things that that person left behind.”
The red-dressed woman was silent but her body started to shake slightly. The black bamboo around her seemed to tremble in pain.
Even though she was one of the most powerful people in the Changling underground, a being that everyone who entered Fish Market had to respect and fear, when she thought of that person’s name, she still felt pain.
Most of the time, she was unwilling to mention that person’s name because of her helplessness and pain, because she was not willing to think back to such painful matters.
Just like this strongest person from the Sword Furnace.
The people of the Zhao Sword Furnace would not feel fear. However, the Sword Furnace was exterminated because of that person. Even now, they still wanted to rely on the things that person left behind to fight back against the cultivators of the Qin Dynasty. This was a great pain to bear on its own.
The handsome young person said coldly and calmly, “My sect junior brother would not fear death. Yet if there was no hint or clue at all, I would not have allowed him to casually lose his life in Changling. His life is more valuable than the great majority of people in the world.”
The silk curtain shook slightly. Several long breaths later, the red-dressed woman said, “Just like the rumors say, that person’s disciple has appeared?”
The handsome young person looked at the red figure behind the curtain and said slowly, “You know that person had many enemies, but also many loyal to him left. After his death, most of those loyal to him died tragically, and not many of the old and weak survived. Maybe it was just a coincidence, but members of the Sword Furnace found a traitor who was killed. That traitor did not die immediately. He died due to loss of blood after escaping into the wilderness. That traitor was completely covered in shallow wounds, circles of sword wounds that wound around.”
The red-dressed woman shook again. “Stone-Grinding Sword?”
The handsome young person said coldly, “I personally inspected him, it is the Stone-Grinding Sword. The Stone-Grinding Sword is that person’s creation, and is for use specifically against cultivators who are skilled using their vital energy to protect their bodies. From the sword marks, the culprit should have just had realm one cultivation while that traitor already had realm four first-class cultivation. The culprit must have used the Stone-Grinding Sword because of the difference in cultivation. We investigated the tracks of the traitor before his death. We found that this traitor wanted to rob a certain manor near the capital. The estate had several women and infirm ones that are the families of those old subordinates.”
The red-dressed woman was silent for multiple moments. “I believe Fourth Mister Zhao’s judgement, but for me, death ends all grudges. Whether or not that person left behind a disciple has nothing to do with me.”
“But we can live better.” The handsome young person said with a sneer, “Even though many people fear us, we know that we are lonely and wild ghosts who cannot see the light of day.”
The young person paused and then added as he looked at the red-dressed woman behind the curtain, “No one will refuse power, nor will anyone refuse to live better days.”
“It seems Fourth Mister Zhao wants me to help and search for some clues from that person’s old subordinate families.” The red-dressed woman was silent for a long moment. She said sincerely, “I respect Mister, but I am one of the Qin.”
The handsome young person shook his head and said, laughing at himself, “What is the difference between the Qin and Zhao people now?” My dynasty has been dead for so many years. Does the words of King Liu of Zhao, said when the dynasty was being overthrown, still apply now? This is all personal grudges. The momentum of the world is set. Am I so stupid to think I can rebuild my dynasty just with the broken swords of Sword Furnace?”
The red-dressed woman thought for a moment.
She knew that the person who was the fourth to join Sword Furnace, the one people called Fourth Mister Zhao, was thought to have the highest skill of all the disciples of Sword Furnace. Now, she knew that the skill was not just in terms of cultivation. She wanted to have a serious discussion and see this person clearly.
The bamboo stalks around her swayed slightly as though a wind passed. The black silk curtain in front of her also swayed and then moved to the side.
The young person detected that weak wave of primal energies of the universe on the black silk curtain. His gaze stilled and he said sincerely, “So Eldest Miss Shang is also skilled in formations.”
“This is nothing to Mister Zhao.”
The red-dressed woman’s voice made people feel more comfortable. She looked the young person’s face. To her shock, the rumored Fourth Mister Zhao was younger than she expected.
The handsome young person also saw her appearance. He was similarly amazed.
Her features could not be considered attractive. Her skin a sickly white, but her aura was especially calm and peaceful. Her eyes were special, extremely black and bright. Her red dress dragged on the ground and covered her feet.
Her eyes did not contain any hatred. Her gaze was like those buddhas in the temples, looking down with pity at the world.
The two examined each other and the room became silent.
“I am willing to hear Mister speak.” The red-dressed woman did not posture, speaking first and breaking the silence.
“Two matters.”
The handsome young person’s expression turned serious. He sat up straight and took a deep breath. He said slowly, “The first, I already told the true secret of my sect junior brother’s death in Changling to Eldest Miss Shang. I only hope if Eldest Miss Shang find that person’s disciple, you will tell members of the Sword Furnace. In my conversation with Miss, I learned Miss has an open mind, respects that person, and has no hate towards that person’s disciples.”
The red-dressed woman nodded. “I will promise Mister this.”
The young person nodded in thanks and said, “The second matter is to ask Eldest Miss Shang to pay attention to the movements of the Wei. This one has received news they may have found clues to the Lonely Mountain Sword Hoard.”
“Cultivators of Cloud Water Palace appeared in Changling as well? Lonely Mountain Sword Hoard?” The red-dressed woman was slightly disbelieving.
The young person bowed deeply and said solemnly, “If we can obtain things from that person or the Lonely Mountain Sword Hoard, Sword Furnace is willing to share them with Eldest Miss Shang. In the future, the broken swords of Sword Furnace will be willing to do all they can to protect Eldest Miss Shang.”
The red-dressed female naturally knew the weight of this young person’s words.
She did not say anything else, and returned a deep bow.
Volume 3 11 - There Are SuChapter Coincidences
The black winged insects perched on the carriage wheels flew out and gathered to flow into the sleeve of the carriage driver.
The carriage wheels landed back on the ground leaving a puff of dust in the wake. The two horses resumed their original appearance and continued to race forward. The carriage driver didn’t even slow down to examine the corpses of the two Qi cultivators.
In no time, the corpses of these two Qi cultivators started to rapidly decay, turning even the rags on their bodies into black water. This black water then sank into the ground.
The forests were deathly silent. All beings within ten thousand feet were dead. Yet, not long after the carriage had disappeared from this region of forest, a thread of black smoke slowly appeared.
The black energy grew thicker, gradually taking the form of a black figure.
This was a middle-aged man dressed in black robes. His hair was tied up in thirds behind his back. He sensed the sword essence that had dissipated through the air and slowly walked over to the spot where Fang Xiang’s golden dragon had passed.
In an instant, he seemed to have touched the path of this sword. His black eyes, with its unusually large pupils, flickered violently.
Then he bowed deeply, in a grand salute, to the place where the two Qi cultivators had passed away. He said softly, “For Qi.”
It was over twenty days until the Deer Mountain Conference. But as the four noblest rules in the world were going to be at Deer Mountain in person, the battles and explorations had already started.
A middle-aged man dressed like an ordinary scholar but whose presence was one with the surrounding forest and evidently had great power, came to the base of a mountain.
This mountain was a relatively short mountain of the dozens of mountains opposite Deer Mountain.
While short, he should be able to clearly feel the movement of the primal energies of the universe on the peak of Deer Mountain once the Deer Mountain Conference started.
As the shortest, naturally there would be less interest in it.
But when he came to the base of this mountain, this middle-aged scholar’s expression underwent a change, and he stopped.
At the base of this mountain, where the forest and bushes met, there was a faint sword mark on the ground.
This sword mark had just cut through the moss on the ground without even reaching the earth. But in his eyes, it was an unsurpassable wall.
This light sword mark twisted and winded, stretching for an unknown number of miles. It managed to completely surround the base of the mountain, yet, the sword mark had not been interrupted in the least. Someone had swung the sword, and the sword moved along the border of the forest and the bushes to create the border.
Herein were countless twists and turns, small and large, but this person had accomplished it all in one blow.
This middle-aged scholar did not know what kind of grandmaster could have performed with the sword like this. He had never seen such a powerful state. Yet, he knew the mark the grandmaster had left behind was telling everyone that he had taken over this mountain.
The middle-aged scholar started to retreat. He looked up, filled with awe. The Deer Mountain Conference had not yet started, but he had already seen a tall mountain he had never seen before.
Using the reformation, and the support of the peerless cultivators at the time, Emperor Yuanwu had destroyed the power of the old aristocracy and three dynasties. But in the following storm of blood, countless Qin cultivators died and many powerful armies perished. Even the Ba Mountain Sword Field, which had become the strongest sect in the world, disappeared in the rivers of history.
Exploiting this vulnerability, the Chu Dynasty defeated the Qin armies, forcing the Qin to give up Yangshan Commandery to avoid years of war. The four strongest dynasties in the world signed an agreement of non-aggression. They set a time limit of nine years to remake the agreement at Deer Mountain.
The Qin Dynasty had lost the war against the Chu, yet, the Chu, Yan and Qi dynasties signed the agreement because many people had lost their lives at the hands of the stunning Qin cultivators of the previous Qin Dynasty. Also, the Qin Dynasty’s political situation was stable. Emperor Yuanwu, the empress, and the two ministers formed a stable triangle that had unprecedented control of the Qin Dynasty.
So even though these three other powerful dynasties of the world did not feel great fear, they were very wary and cautious concerning the Qin Dynasty.
A true conference where everything had to be discussed had never appeared before in the history of the Qin, and even in the previous dynasties. So just like Zhang Yi said, nothing was set. No one knew what would happen or how many hidden grandmasters would appear around Deer Mountain.
A caravan of at least a dozen carriages sedately advanced towards Deer Mountain. These carriages looked ordinary, but the walls of the cabins were carved with numerous complicated and indescribable seal scripts. The light of these seal scripts formed a thin layer of light in the cabin, but no energy leaked out.
The cultivators sitting inside were mostly young and they all had a kind of indescribable pride.
The other unique trait they had was that their bodies seemed exceptionally light and ethereal, like clouds that would float into the sky at any moment.
At a bend in the road, in a carriage at the middle of the caravan, a youth of thirteen slightly lifted the curtain and looked back. There were three black carriages ten miles behind them. He said softly to the slightly older-looking youth sitting opposite him, “Those three carriages have been following us from Changling.”
The older youth had a handsome oval face as gentle as jade. His hair was casually tied up with a cloth tie. Clouds and mist seemed to rise from his hair strands, so his black hair looked like a tall black mountain shrouded in the mist.
“Ignore them.”
He smiled disdainfully and said, “Since they followed us from Changling and passed through the forts, there will not be any problems. At most, they are sects or families that are not strong enough. They want to borrow our power to open the path to avoid attracting trouble along the way.”
Sitting in the last carriage of the three carriages the two youths spoke of was Ding Ning and Fu Su.
The black carriage they rode in looked extremely ordinary on the outside. However, on the inside, the cabin was wide, covered in expensive and soft fur.
Even though the path was bumpy, the softness of these furs would make people feel comfortable.
This kind of carriage was a moving residence and cultivation place for cultivators. But the horses that pulled these carriages needed to be rested and switched. The food and clean water stored in the first carriage had to be replenished.
The three carriages had followed the caravan ahead of them this entire journey. When they were near one of the district cities, Forefather Zhou’s voice came from the middle carriage, “We are going to rest in the city tonight.”
“This is Lueyan District of Guanzhong, not far from the home of my junior sect brother Shen Yi.” As they travelled the last bit of road towards the district city, Ding Ning mentioned to Fu Su in a pleasant mood.
Fu Su had never left Changling in his life. Looking at the scenery that was completely different from Changling, and how this vast world were all lands belonging to Qin, he was in an even better mood. So he gave a small smile and said softly, “This is even close to Xie Rou’s family.”
Ding Ning frowned slightly and said, “Yes.”
Fu Su glanced at him, shook his head and said, “You are so boring. You don’t even let people take up the topic.”
Ding Ning looked at him and shook his head. “You are the one with the bad taste to joke about this.”
Fu Su still did not give up. He said, “What is not good about Xie Rou?”
Ding Ning said calmly, “It’s me that’s not good.”
Fu Su stilled. When he thought of how all cultivators in Changling should know of Ding Ning’s state of health, he was slightly embarrassed. A long moment later, he comforted. “There will be a solution.”
Ding Ning nodded and said, “Maybe there are solutions, but I have to use my time wisely.”
Fu Su naturally did not know Ding Ning’s true thoughts. After a moment’s thought, he said, “You are right. You know your priorities better than me.”
As they talked, the carriage had moved into the streets of the district city. It finally stopped in front of an inn.
But the moment they stepped off the carriage, Ding Ning’s body froze for a moment.
Fu Su naturally detected his strangeness. He looked over and then stilled as well.
There was a carriage parked under a green tree by the inn door. Walking out of the carriage was a tall and beautiful young girl.
She coincidentally saw Ding Ning and also froze as well.
“Is this Xie Rou?”
Fu Su reacted after a breath and said softly in disbelief, “There are such coincidences?”
“Why are you here?”
The tall and beautiful girl seemed to hesitate but still walked over and asked Ding Ning.
Ding Ning took a deep breath.
Looking at Xie Rou’s expression, he knew that this was truly a coincidence. There could really be such coincidences.
“What are you doing here?” He did not answer Xie Rou’s question and softly asked as he looked at her trembling eyelashes.
Translator Ramblings: All coincidences are manipulated by the power to be …… the author.
Volume 6 11
Many in the Chu Dynasty called Consort Zhao Xiang Demon Consort Zhao. This was because her looks and smile were too charming. At this time, her smile was enough to drain the color from the most beautiful flowers in the world, but these Qin grandmasters shuddered.
She was the empress dowager, but in reality, she was the ruler of the Chu Dynasty. All of the weapons of the Chu Dynasty were for her to use. Just now, she used one item and managed to seriously wound a Qin grandmaster. How many terrifying Chu weapons like this did she have?
The shadow of the indigo mountain disappeared in front of her, but there were still many energies falling through the air like indigo tree leaves, cutting the air, and making crackling sounds.
This kind of sharp and powerful essence even blew to Wei Wujiu who was hundreds of feet away. Looking down at the many tears in his clothing, he said, “This is the Door Sealing Token, one of the five great lone weapons of the Chu Dynasty. Also, among the numerous lone weapons, not all of them can be used to fight against enemies. Do not tell me that you have many of the Chu weapons like this.”
“If they are known to outsiders, they do not count as killer weapons.” Consort Zhao Xiang looked at Wei Wujiu and said scornfully, “You speak so well, so why not you come first to try and see what else I have?”
Wei Wujiu sneered. “Since the Door Sealing Token is in your hands, then the Meru Formation is naturally here.”
Consort Zhao Xiang sighed and said with some regret, “An old person is an old person, you think clearly. But you can gamble. Maybe the Meru Formation is not here, or maybe it does not have the power it is said to have.”
“You have such an idea.”
Listening to the talk between Consort Zhao Xiang and Wei Wujiu, the numerous Qin grandmasters around them felt cold, and even felt a cold sweat break out on their backs.
Based on some limited records in the cultivation books, the Meru Formation of the Chu Dynasty was a self-destructive seal weapon. The seal weapon was special in that the more powerful the attack was, the more powerful the explosion was.
From a certain meaning, Consort Zhao Xiang, a cultivator with a strong physical body, and such a seal weapon were a perfect match. If there were more grandmasters attacking her, she could activate this seal weapon with more power. Her body could be enough to endure the power of the seal weapon but not theirs.
Perhaps from the start, she had been waiting for them to gather in the surroundings, and then use the legendary Chu weapon.
“I want to know, if it is not close combat, will such a weapon like the Meru Formation be useful,” Wei Wujiu looked at the provocative Consort Zhao Xiang and said coldly.
When he said such words, a white bone-like light came from in front of him with a powerful lifebond presence. A pale white sword floated in front of him.
This sword seemed to be made from white bones, and gave off an ancient presence.
“Using the sword is better than using the seal weapon because it can change according to your thoughts. How can even the strongest of seal weapons do what you want outside the body? The sword can be frequently used, but how about these seal weapons?”
Wei Wujiu looked at Consort Zhao Xiang, and then slowly said, “The Chu will be defeated by the Qin, this is inevitable.”
A clean wind swept in front of him. His sword flew out, the white energy dense and there seemed to be hundreds of white sword shadows flying in the air.
The other Qin grandmasters immediately understood.
There were sounds of air tearing, twelve sword lights flying like serpents to Consort Zhao Xiang and Xiang Yan.
Each grandmaster chose a different route after the Lifesource Realm. Many people did not use the flying sword as the main tactic against the enemy, because if a sword was not in the hand, they could not perfectly endure more vital energy and primal energies, and would be flooded in an instant. Other than this, for cultivators above realm seven, the distance in the air was greatly shortened, and some people were even faster than flying swords.
Yet most Qin grandmasters had swords as lifebond items. They did not primarily use the sword after reaching realm seven, but in their cultivation process, they had used the flying sword for a long time. They naturally knew how to use the flying sword. Even more importantly, even if they were using the flying sword against the enemy, when a dozen cultivators were working together, the power of their flying swords was still terrifying.
These flying swords even cut through the original primal energies of the universe laws in this area. They came like an umbrella, putting Consort Zhao Xiang and Xiang Yan into its own world.
These swords were the swords of grandmasters, and when they flew around each other, their swords did not affect each other, and even caused the sword essences of other swords to grow stronger.
Such a scene, in Consort Zhao Xiang and Xiang Yan’s eyes even had a feeling of beauty.
There were only a few people in the world who would be able to see so many powerful grandmasters attacking together with their swords.
Looking at this scene, Consort Zhao Xiang’s lips curved up slightly. She said dismissively in a soft voice, “They do not dare to even get close, how can they kill me?”
“Follow me,” she said softly to Xiang Yan.
Then her figure disappeared from the spot. She charged forward, to where Wei Wujiu and Fang Qilin were. A unique seal weapon appeared in her hand. It looked like a yellowed and weathered piece of old wood, but on this piece of old wood, there were many seal scripts, like ants were climbing over it.
In this moment, these seal scripts lit up, giving off doled golden light. It was like countless ants were madly climbing on the seal weapon, piling together, and then growing wings to fly into the sky.
The golden seal scripts flew into the sky, each small script giving off a destructive presence that caused even realm sevens to shudder.
“Such a mad woman.” Wei Wujiu looked at Consort Zhao Xiang whose phoenix robe seemed like it was burning, and shook his head.
None of the other seal weapons of the legends had such a presence. This seal weapon that was like an old piece of wood was the Meru Formation.
She wanted to charge in among them, and then activate the seal weapon. She cultivated herself, and when she was charging at full power, it was hard for even flying swords to stop her.
But could such a charge stop their spread out power?
When he was shaking his head, a vicious presence hard to describe with words climbed on his face, like a metal like light gilded his face.
He did not dodge.
He just took a deep breath, and called back his flying sword. His vital energy was forced out of his body. In this instant, his entire body seemed to be expanding outwards. Even if he and she were both seriously wounded at the same time, in the next moment, this supreme existence of the Chu Dynasty could not avoid the fate of being killed.
The other Qin grandmasters sensed his intentions, and with numerous shouts, even the cultivator who had been following him all this time flew out.
These cultivators were not pedantic people. If they were able to reach their goal, they did not care about the process, much less that this was Wei Wujiu’s own choice.
A golden light followed behind Consort Zhao Xiang. At this moment, many people were shocked at Xiang Yan’s speed. This general of the Golden Dagger army was not much slower than Consort Zhao Xiang.
If there was an unknown factor, then the general of the Gold Dagger army was the greatest factor in the eyes of the Qin grandmasters.
Zhang Kuangdao, who was standing beside Lian Bo, had a cultivation near the bottom of the thirteen Qin grandmasters, and was the most inconspicuous.
And at this time, his figure stopped.
Volume 2 11 - The Attitude of the Feng Family
This chapter has been brought to you by me, and larkspur.
"Flee!"
Ding Ning shouted one word because he only had time for one word.
As he said this, all the fiendish sword energy he had accumulated in his body shot out from his fingers. The black sword lights turned into a rain and were aimed at a spot next to Xie Lianyin.
His shout and the barrage of black sword lights were filled with decisiveness and irrevocableness. "Go!" Xie Lianying’s gaze flashed. He almost instinctively pulled Xie Rou next to him and darted backwards.
A light blue light suddenly appeared among the barrage of black sword lights, and a silver flow appeared out of thin air.
Moving backwards, Xie Rou’s heart almost stopped beating. While it was a known fact that the seal weapons of the Chu Dynasty were the best in the world, she had never heard of this grey-robed cultivator’s attack that could come out of thin air.
A flow of silver first appeared clearly in the air, and then the grey shadow.
For this powerful cultivator from the Chu Dynasty, the little fiendish swords that Ding Ning had forced out of his body were almost nothing.
The grey figure turned sideways and his body, half flashing with silver light, stood like a large silver sword.
The black sword lights exploded on the silver light, forming black blossoms in the air.
Countless silver flowers also bloomed on the other side of the Chu Dynasty cultivator, however, he only felt slightly colder on one side of his body.
The disparity between realm three and seven was too great. He also had a seal weapon that was the product of countless Chu cultivators and craftsmen.
This Chu Dynasty cultivator was puzzled as to why Ding Ning could sense his location yet his gaze was still aloof. He only used his normal speed as he channeled his vital energy into the "Worryfree Horn".
Yet again, murderousness surged in the air.
It was because the primal energies of the universe that the Worryfree Horn was this bright and multicolored. Even the murderousness felt so pleasant and bright that the people could easily forget their worries. It could easily make people slower in their reaction.
The Xie Family was the wealthiest in the Guanzhong, and none of their cultivators was mediocre. When this Chu Dynasty cultivator’s Worryfree Horn passed through the fragments of the fiendish swords and charged towards Xie Lianying who was in retreat, the two flying swords that were floating next to the old woman and the child finally made the correct reaction.
The small red sword was suddenly ablaze with a blinding flame. While the sword was small, the power it emanated felt like an enormous piece of magma erupting from a volcano. It then fell towards the Chu Dynasty cultivator.
The other small blue sword silently flew down and disappeared into the earth below Even its presence became the same as the soil.
This Chu Dynasty cultivator frowned slightly, but he did not change the target of the Worryfree Horn. With a muffled sound, the incoming little red sword was forced to a standstill by a powerful force. Unable to even dodge, the sword was pushed backwards. The flames coming off the sword’s seal scripts scattered and landed on the surrounding shrubs.
In an instant, the grasses dried up and burst into flames.
As to the whereabouts of the devious little blue sword, this Chu Dynasty cultivator was unconcerned. To him, in order to attack him, the blue sword would have to resurface sooner or later.
Once this small sword left the earth, he would be able to feel it, and respond in time.This was the absolute confidence a realm seven expert possessed.
The moment the little red sword was forced back, one of the Xie Family carriages shook violently. A muffled grunt sounded, and the carriage curtains rippled outwards with a burst of bloody foam.
To the Chu Dynasty cultivator’s surprise, the little blue sword that had entered the earth seemed to have vanished.
Because he had absolute confidence, this Chu Dynasty cultivator did not hesitate at all.
Two vast surges of primal energies of the universe came through his feet. Two visible balls of light appeared under his feet. In the next moment, his body flew forward and accelerated.
In less than a breath, the Worryfree Horn gave off sharp murderousness and targeted Xie Lianying and Xie Rou who were trying their best to retreat.
An old voice came from the carriage behind Xie Lianying and Xie Rou.
Seated in this carriage was a white-haired old scholar.
As he shouted lowly, his body seemed to be covered in countless holes that shot out countless blue rays of wind.
The hardwood carriage around him collapsed like a paper lantern and scattered outwards.
The blue wind rays twisted like they were alive, and shot towards this Chu Dynasty cultivator from all directions, as if the tails of a demon.
This Chu Dynasty cultivator showed no disdain and his figure did not change. However, his vital energy output strengthened.
The seven-colored energy from the Worryfree Horn in his hand grew stronger. It did not appear to touch Xie Lianying and Xie Rou’s body but both of them grunted and bled from the corners of their mouth.
The old scholar’s visage did not change. Along with the blue rays of wind he drifted weightlessly upwards, and came before Xie Lianying and Xie Rou.
The Chu cultivator’s gaze suddenly focused. He suddenly sensed an unusual presence in these blue rays of wind.
His body suddenly froze.
From the first time since his initial advance, his body paused.
The pause was only to emit more energy.
A mountain of primal energies once again gathered above his head, and flooded into the Silver Rakshasa Thumb Ring at an unimaginable speed.
The sticky energy flowing out of the Silver Rakshasa Thumb Ring, like mercury, immediately shrouded his body. Even his orifices were filled with silver energy. He became a person of silver.
Almost all the blue rays of wind collapsed when they hit his body, but one blue ray did not shatter, emitting a jewel-like light.
The Chu cultivator sneered in disdain.
This blue ray that had wrapped around his body and contracted violently, was quickly covered in cracks. It was possible to see clear crystal layers within the cracks.
Although the old scholar was still hovering in the air, his internal organs were vibrating violently. Red blood gathered along his chaotic energies and spurted out of his mouth and nose.
The unique and powerful presence of a lifebond item finally came from that crystal-like blue ray.
This had not been a ray condensed from primal energies of the universe, but his lifebond item.
The reason something was lifebond was because it had an inexplicable connection to a cultivator’s life. If a lifebond item was destroyed, the user would be seriously injured at best, and dead otherwise. But as this old scholar’s lifebond item was on the verge of being destroyed, he did not hesitate at all, and squeezed all the power he could contain within his body, out of his body.
The lifebond item in the form of the cracked blue ray persisted.
Determination in his eyes, a blue robed young swordsman in the last carriage, took a deep breath. His blue flying sword, that had hid for so long underground, finally, soundlessly re-emerged from the earth underneath the Chu cultivator’s feet.
The silver light on the Chu cultivator’s face dimmed slightly, and the yellow cloth he wore fell off due to the vibrations of energy.
Behind the yellow cloth was a thin and white, seemingly feminine, face.
A hint of disdain and pity flashed over his face.
"Other than that woman from an important Zhongshan family, the Xie Family is just so?"
Before he spoke, he had pulled back the Worryfree Horn in his hand, and let it slide down along his body.
The rainbow-like light landed on the blue crystal ray restraining his body. The blue ray shattered into countless pieces. The old scholar floating in the air fell to the ground and quietly died.
He took a step. The rainbow-like light continued to drop, sweeping under his feet and accurately hitting the blue flying sword that had just come out of the earth.
The seemingly soft contact was a collision between two mountains.
The blue sword, less than a foot in length, ploughed a deep gully in the ground.
In the last carriage, the blue-robed young swordsman’s head fell dispiritedly. Countless blade-like wrinkles appeared on his young face, each wrinkle bleeding threads of bloods.
The Chu cultivator proudly raised his head.
In his view, no one in the Xie Family could stop him from killing Xie Lianying and Xie Rou, even that youth not far from them.
But at this moment, he sensed an impossible surge of primal energies of the universe.
He suddenly turned around, his eyes flashed with amazement and disbelief.
Translator Ramblings: If all these sword energies are lights, does this mean the attacks are the speed of light? So all cultivators move faster than light ……
Volume 4 12 - Crying At the Grave
The army that seemed to come from hell arrived at the Great Floating Water Prison. With a boom, when the army stopped, and finally seemed to become human. The hooves hit the ground creating a boom in unison.
The general of this God Killing Army with the two swords criss-crossed on his back sensed the killing intent existing in this area. His gaze, hidden deep in the platinum mask, filled with more murderousness. No one knew his history. They only knew that the aim of the Qin Dynasty God Killing Army was only one, kill that person.
Each soldier of the God Killing Army supposedly had undergone unimaginable death training, and were one in a hundred from Jiiaodong’s killers. They were one in a hundred because the other ninety nine died in the elimination process. The one remaining was likely more terrifying now than the ninety nine back then.
The commander leading such an army was naturally a killing god among killing gods. So today, just breathing the air underneath the sunlight, this commander with the platinum mask seemed to smell the murderousness of Changling.
A black eagle flew down from the sky with new military orders.
Without any words, after seeing the new orders, this commander brimming with killing intent turned his horse around. The entire army followed behind him like ghosts.
The army moved through the countryside. The riders moved through the fields, the crops swaying but not breaking. The cavalry really seemed weightless in the wind.
A child was crying in the farmhouse. A farmer woman who was busy weaving had no attention to spare. But suddenly the child stopped crying. The farmer woman suddenly turned around and saw something she would never forget.
An unimaginably cold army was moving with the wind and passing by her window.
Fish Market was desolate during the day and prosperous during the night. The army advanced so quickly. Or rather, the people in Fish Market were like ghosts roaming the outskirts of Changling and did not care about the wind and rain outside when covered by the layers of canopies. So when the army arrived at the port next to Fish Market, no one cared about the arrival of this army.
The God Killing Army commander stopped.
The moment he stopped, he did not make any extra movements. Then a vice commander behind him rode out and said in a stern voice that echoed under the canopies of Fish Market.
“Imperial Orders! Leave this place!” He said only five words, and only spoke once.
But the echoes continued like countless dangerous voices constantly shouting.
All of Fish Market started to shake. This was like a lot of wasps suddenly flooding into an ordinary honey bee hive. Dozens of people nearest the canopy appeared in the sunlight.
A middle-aged person who looked a lot like a schoolteacher but had an extremely pale face looked up at the army and said slowly, “If we leave, what is the time limit?”
The vice commander at the front glanced at the teacher and said, “This is not about time, but attitude.”
This middle-aged scholar understood the meaning in the words. His heart suddenly found cold. But the three people behind him did not understand and shouted, “What do you mean? You force us to leave here but do not give us time to move? If we leave here, where should we settle?”
The vice commander slowly looked up at the speakers and said, “This is a place that should not exist. There is a need to settle you? You wild ghosts should go where you should.”
“What if we do not go?” A cold sneer sounded behind the hut.
The vice commander did not change his voice but everyone could sense the cold murderousness in the air. “You dare to disobey imperial orders?”
“You say we are wild ghosts, what do we not dare?” The person in the shadows sneered.
“Die!”
An unusually simple shout sounded.
As soon as the voice sounded, the vice commander and the horse under him jumped over the middle-aged scholar and the other people towards the rain canopy behind them. With a crack, a black cold lightning in his hand tore apart the canopy underneath the horse.
The ghostly shadow underneath the canopy was picked up without any resistance. The horse he rose gave a whinny, turning around and leaping into the air like it was flying.
The black lightning in his hand was a long spear. The ghostly shadow underneath the canopy had been penetrated by his spear and lifted up. When his horse landed back on the ground, the shadow he had picked up with the spear was thrown heavily to the river port at the side.
Blood surged furiously out of that person’s body. The vice commander wearing a black mask pointed his spear forward, blood dripping off the speartip.
This scene was enough to stun people in most places, including the guards of some small cities. Yet this was Fish Market with many lonely and wild ghosts. Many criminals and outlaws needed to rely on this place to hide.
This vice commander’s spear only tore through a rain canopy, but in the next moment, another six rain canopies were destroyed.
Five flying swords flew towards the vice commander at this moment. Killing chickens to deter monkeys was a move that everyone could use.
For the people of Fish Market, this vice commander killed the first person to deter them from defying. For them, if they responded in turn and killed this vice commander, they would also make deterrence.
Five flying swords appearing at the same moment was something unimaginable at other places. This was also the true reason that outside factions could not interfere in the ghost market.
However, they did not know what kind of army this was. They did not know that even if they could kill this vice commander, this army’s killing intent and determination would not change. Also, with such an army presence, they could not kill the vice commander here.
Seeing the five flying swords, this vice commander did not even change how he held his spear.
Two horses moved behind him. Another vice commander came to his side. This vice commander also wore two swords on his back, but compared to Bai Qi, the two swords were short. Yet when the vice commander pulled out the two swords with reverse grips, the sound of the blade brushing against the scabbard lingered.
Shocked exclamations sounded.
This vice commander’s two swords were like two long whips. They seemed to have been folded in the scabbard. So when the swords were drawn out, they swam out like poisonous snakes. Also, the swords were shaped like poisonous snakes, they were slightly round and the blade was covered in scale-like hooks.
This vice commander attacked. With the swords in hand, countless shadows of snakes appeared in the air.
There were multiple sounds of metal colliding. The five flying swords were all locked by the hooks of these two strange swords.
These five flying swords struggled viciously. Their enormous power was something this vice commander could not contend with and they were on the verge of pulling the vice commander off the horse. Yet the two swords of the vice commander only needed to trap the five flying swords for a moment.
The other vice commander who had moved up also acted. The metal pieces on his black armored arm pulsed like water and formed a black longbow in his hand.
Four arrows immediately broke through the air.
His four arrows were all special arrows. The shaft and tail feathers were all cold black steel, but the arrowhead was a deep red gem. The quartet flew faster than most cultivator’s flying swords,
, and there was a rain of blood underneath the rain canopy. The five struggling flying swords immediately lost their vitality and fell to the ground.
Four arrows were enough to kill five cultivators who could control flying swords!
Fish Market was immediately silent. Many rain canopies rippled and spread outwards. Everyone understood the true power of this legendary God Killing Army. They started to understand the power of this army could not be judged by an ordinary army.
The spear-holding vice commander at the front ignored the people ahead of him who already left Fish Market and he leapt forward on his horse again. The horse moved in the wind like it came from hell. His long back spear flicked casually. With each flick, a rain canopy would fly towards the river.
No one dared to stop him.
This army drove deep into Fish market.
On a turret nearest Fish Market, Huang Zhenwei saw his teacher Mo Shoucheng.
When he saw this old man again, Huang Zhenwei almost did not believe his eyes. He could sense the old man had aged extremely in an instant. What had aged was not just his appearance but also his spirit.
Seeing Fish Market in his sight, Huang Zhenwei’s lips started to tremble. “Teacher ……”
“The madness has started ……”
Mo Shoucheng turned his head and forced a smile at him. He said softly, “You will be unable to stop anything at this time. You can only choose which side to stand on.”

Volume 5 12 - Fear of Defeat
The silver light came from a wall in front of her. It would be more accurate to say it was an enormous monument.
She was located in what appeared to be an enormous underwater cave with a giant monument stuck into the centre of this cave from above. It seemed as though this giant monument was half in the ground and half in the water, right in front of her
This enormous monument was made from a special kind of blue-gray metal. The surface had many deep seal lines, and the blinding silver light flowed in the seal lines before radiating out.
This was a lifeless giant monument. Compared to the monument, Zhao Si’s body was like a little fish facing the bottom of a giant ship.
Yet looking at this giant monument, she laughed enthusiastically. “We meet again,” she said to the monument.
Then she released the accumulated energies of her body along the meridians in a wild and violent manner! She had broken through the rock this entire way. When she reached this spot, the water from the underground yin river also had arrived here.
There were black and sticky lines within the water. When her sword essence activated, the black lines suddenly broke through the water. They were black oil.
When the black oil came into contact with her surging primal energies of the universe, it was like one life encountering another. Heat formed, and then with a boom, the lines of black oil became swords of fire.
This was a scene hard to describe in words.
The numerous swords of fire moved through the water, with a presence to pierce the sky as they stabbed towards the seal scripts of the giant monument. Numerous air waves exploded on the giant monument. Sprays of water exploded outwards like fine powder. Silver sparks flew out of the seal scripts. The silver scripts shone so brightly the underground cave looked like a dazzling starry sky. But there was no warmth, only coldness and destruction.
This presence was the presence of Empress Zheng who she was familiar with.
A crack appeared in the monument’s seal scripts. The flowing silver light disappeared. Zhao Si’s presence fluctuated violently. Blood leaked from the corners of her mouth, but she still wore a proud smile.
She had been defeated by Zheng Xiu’s sword on the Wei River. But in the subsequent matches with Zheng Xiu, she had won.
The Zhao Sword Furnace will take back the lost swords with their own hands! She said to herself determinedly as she looked at the enormous monument.
When the sparks flowing on the monument dissipated, many invisible rays of starlight that fell down towards this Great Floating Water Prison were suddenly cut off.
This naturally could not escape the attention of the empress in the palace. No anger appeared on her perfect face, only a cold smile. She thought her predictions were correct. Just like that person had known her best back then, she knew that person the best.
Now, the Nine Death Silkworm’s conduct was very similar to that person. So she was able to predict.
She did not care about this momentary victory. She felt, as she tightened her net, she would capture all these great rebels. She even started to imagine how she would see all these people in the Great Floating Water Prison together.
As the silver sparks on the monument dissipated in front of Zhao Si, the silver sparks that flowed like blood invisibly through Great Floating Water Prison also disappeared.
An unique tremor and explosions sounded in the Great Floating Water Prison.
Bai Shanshui stood in front of the Thirty Thousand Catty gates. Behind her, the commander who had been sent flying had struggled upright.
The army had regrouped to form a semi-circular encirclement to surround Bai Shanshui. Yet without the commander’s next order, they did not attack immediately.
These Dongling Army soldiers had not heard Bai Shanshui’s words like the general did. But they had a strange feeling when they saw Bai Shanshui standing in front of the gates. They all felt that the gates would rise in the next moment.
Suddenly, their breaths stilled.
Bai Shanshui smiled.
A wave of dust appeared on the ground ahead of her. The gates lifted.
She stepped forward without hesitation. Her beautiful and indescribably rebellious presence passed through the gates.
The strange tremors emerged from the Great Floating Water Prison. The entire prison was trembling.
The inside of the Great Floating Water Prison was usually ignored by Changling’s people, but there were many terrifying officials within.
Feeling the entire Great Floating Water Prison trembling, these terrifying officials started to feel terror. But not all.
When Bai Shanshui walked towards the second gate, the water filling the tunnel suddenly pressed outwards, and hit this gate like an enormous fist.
Then the gates curved, and gave enough space for Bai Shanshui to pass through. The flowing water docilely flowed by her side and moved away.
A layer of waves rose on the dusty ground outside the Great Floating Water Prison. The usually dry earth was like a beach right now.
The water in front of Bai Shanshui had completely disappeared, leaving behind uneven stones. At the end of the tunnel was a figure standing there without fear.
Bai Shanshui had defeated the Dongling Army and passed through the Thirty Thousand Catty Gates to arrive here. Her presence had reached a peak. But the figure blocking her had no terror. His presence surged towards her as though to suppress her.
This person was not Shen Xuan.
He was an old man in blue robes. His features were small but his face was long, causing his face to look like a flat bamboo board.
Looking at this old man, Bai Shanshui laughed. “Du Qingli, you think you can stop me?”
The old man imperceptibly frowned. Perhaps there were people in the world who knew there were two imperial academicians of the Qin Dynasty, but people rarely knew their names, much less recognize them at a glance.
“I am not of the Qin, and cannot know your name. Before I prepared to come here, I did not even know that you and Du Hongtan existed.”
Seeing that the old man did not respond immediately, Bai Shanshui laughed more happily. “You should know who told me. I can tell you very clearly he will not come today. We are able to come here. You should understand his abilities …… even if we are defeated today, you cannot escape his retribution.”
As the entire Great Floating Water Prison trembled, this old man who was not weaker than Bai Shanshui at her peak suddenly felt a hint of terror.
“Nine Death Silkworm ……” He knew who the “he” Bai Shanshui spoke of referred to and unconsciously uttered.
This was the time Bai Shanshui had been waiting to attack.
Bai Shanshui attacked. Her green longsword disappeared from her hand.
In front of the old man’s forehead, a dot of green rippled. At the center of the green waves was a green needle.
“Even if it’s the Nine Death Silkworm, if you cannot even win against me, why fear the retribution of the Nine Death Silkworm?” Bai Shanshui said mockingly.
The pupils of the old academician of the imperial palace contracted. He sensed the focused sword essence of that thin needle. Not caring about Bai Shanshui’s response, he shouted harshly. “That Nine Death Silkworm heir told you this tactic!”
As he shouted, a narrow green sword appeared in his hand, looking like a thin stalk of bamboo. It did not fall towards Bai Shanshui’s sword essence, but his left eyebrow.
With a soft sound, Bai Shanshui’s sword essence inexplicably disappeared.
A wound appeared on his left eyebrow. Blood flowed down and covered his already small left eye. Shrill screams echoed through the tunnel.
Bai Shanshui launched her second attack.
Her lifebond sword appeared again in her hand. In an instant, seventeen green beads of water appeared in front of her sword.
The seventeen beads of green water started to accelerate and elongate.
Volume 3 12 - Use
What really occurred behind coincidences was worthy of being studied.
The Xie Family was a wealthy family of Guanzhong. Xie Rou, the eldest daughter, was akin to half the leader of the Xie Family. She originally had been active around Changling and if there wasn’t anything special, she definitely would not appear in a little district city.
Xie Rou hesitated slightly.
Ding Ning was silent for a moment. Then he looked at her and said softly, “Is it due to me?”
Xie Rou stilled and then understood Ding Ning’s meaning. Her face flushed slightly. She hurriedly shook her head and said, “It’s not because I swore an oath and was punished to return to Guanzhong. The family has some matters.”
Ding Ning nodded calmly and politely. “I am just coincidentally passing by. Soon, we will be in a hurry to travel, so let’s bid farewell here.”
Xie Rou looked at Ding Ning’s calm gaze. Her lips parted slightly but she didn’t know what to say. She watched as Ding Ning turned around. She didn’t know how she felt as she watched his back, just that she felt she had drank a cup of cold water in this icy weather.
“Just this simple?” Fu Su said softly, frowning as he looked at the returning Ding Ning.
Ding Ning glanced at him and said, “Did you expect her to come with us to Deer Mountain?”
Fu Su looked at his expression and saw Ding Ning did not seem to be joking. He couldn’t help but shake his head and sighed. He said, “I hope that you can find a solution to your health problems soon. Otherwise, you will miss a great marriage.”
Ding Ning used silence to end the conversation.
“This young man is really good.”
A voice filled with praise reached Xie Rou’s ears from behind her.
“Father?” Xie Rou turned around in surprise.
A short and stout merchant dressed in purple brocade stood behind her. He wore a jade belt and large jewel rings. His accessories and the patterns of his purple brocade clothes were all of tacky taste. His face was slightly rosy due to his plumpness lending him an extremely tacky appearance.
At the sight of a Xie Rou whose eyes were filled with surprise, this garish middle-aged businessman grinned. He repeated in the heavy accent of Guanzhong, “This young man is really good.”
Once again, a light blush crept on Xie Rou’s face. She said, “You may not even have heard what I just talked to him briefly about. Why do you suddenly have such an opinion?”
“From his way of doing things, I can see what a person is like.” The short and stout merchant looked in satisfaction at her and said, “He clearly wants to refuse you and deliberately keep a distance. But there are many ways of refusal. He chose the most appropriate and kind one.”
Xie Rou looked at him in puzzlement.
The short and stout merchant smiled and explained. “He used the calmest method. This method is not drastic and will not arouse powerful emotions in you. He really does want you to gradually forget him and not have any more entanglements with you. Right now, everyone knows there are problems with his health. He should know that the Xie Family can help him, even so he treats you like this. Regardless of whether it is because he doesn’t want to drag you in, or he has no time to consider relations with a woman, this shows that he is kind at the very least, and a sincere person.”
After a moment, he looked at Xie Rou and said, “Also, I learned that the reason Two Level Tower of the Changling streets was able to rise to the top is related to him. From his way of conducting matters, if the Xie Family were to really have a son-in-law as such, I fear, he can manage major matters better than me.”
This short and stout merchant was naturally Xie Rou’s father Xie Lianying. According to the rumors on the streets, Xie Lianying was a very gaudy and unrefined businessman who smelled of money. People frequently referred to his name as “Successive winning”. He seemed to feel that it wasn’t enough and gave his son the name “Ever-winning.” All of his accomplishments up until now came from the wisdom and foresight of his wife that had been of the formerly aristocratic family located in Zhongshan in the Wei Dynasty. But the words he spoke with Xie Rou proved that he was very different from the tacky businessman of the rumors.
“In reality, even if you swore you would only marry him and will hold to this promise, you do not need to lower yourself.” Xie Lianying looked at the silent Xie Rou and said, “Think of how many astounding people there were from the previous dynasty to up until now? Which of them did not have women around them that could stand side-by-side with them and help them?”
Xie Rou’s body shook slightly. She took a deep breath and looked up at Xie Lianying, saying, “Father, what do you think I should do?”
“Do not think about the oath. If you meet each other, do not lower yourself and act as though you are pursuing him. Just show your own brilliance. You only have to be more brilliant than the women around him, and become a person more suitable at fighting side by side with him. Then his gaze will naturally not land on someone else.” Xie Lianying looked at her and said, “This is like how we will not be in one kind of business, but if we are in the future, we will naturally pick the best business in that area.”
A hint of light appeared in Xie Rou’s eyes. “It is not very appropriate to use business as a metaphor for your daughter.” While she was quibbling, her mood clearly turned for the better. Her furrowed brow relaxed and she asked softly, “We have prepared?”
Xie Lianying’s expression grew cold as he said, “This time, the Chen Family will feel the consequences.”
Xie Rou noded but inexplicably hesitated.
Xie Lianying could see through her thoughts and laughed. He said, “Don’t worry, I like him and agree for him to be my son-in-law. After we pass here, I will naturally take care of him, and will send someone to see what he is doing.”
Xie Rou was reassured and said with a grim expression, “Then we will depart now?”
Xie Lianying nodded and pretended to sigh in sorrow, saying, “Daughters cannot be kept when they grow up. I have acted like so and you do not even thank me?”
Xie Rou immediately rolled her eyes at him and said, “If you want me to massage your shoulders, tell me.”
Xie Lianying immediately laughed. He moved his shoulders and said, “I’ve been too busy recently, and my shoulders are very stiff. Once we finish this business transaction, I really do need you to massage them.”
Near the inn where the carriage was parked, was a stone bridge. And under it was a noodle shop.
“Do you want to eat noodles? My treat.”
Ding Ning looked at the noodle shop, then he turned to Fu Su. “The noodle shop in Falling Parasol is quite good, especially the sour cabbage with intestine or the red soup with meat slices.”
Fu Su nodded and said with a smile, “I do not like such heavy food as you. Egg and clear soup is good for me.”
“Do not go. Get in the carriage, we are leaving.”
A gentle voice suddenly passed into their ears at this time.
Ding Ning’s gaze stilled slightly. He turned towards the source of the sound in the carriage and said, “Forefather?”
Within the carriage, Forefather Zhou’s narrowed eyes flashed with cold light while his voice remained gentle. “The Xie Family is the richest family in Guanzhong. Since that young woman is the eldest daughter of the Xie Family, Xie Rou, there must be a reason why she has appeared here. Even if you do not want to have any entanglements with her, if she is in any trouble, you should help her if you are able.”
Ding Ning frowned slightly. He naturally knew that Forefather Zhoul was not this kind-hearted. But he had no way of refusing Forefather Zhou’s words with his present position.
—
“Strange.”
Xie Lianying lifted the curtain up a little and looked at the three black carriages in the distance. He turned and said to Xie Rou, “Ding Ning’s carriages have followed.”
Xie Rou thought for a moment and said, “This does not seem like something he would do.”
Xie Lianying thought and said, “It appears to be related to the people he is with.”
Xie Rou looked at him and said softly, “Those people do not look like they are from White Goat Cave.”
Xie Lianying smiled faintly and said, “No matter. Regardless of who from Changling he followed here, at least we are sure they are not our enemy. With what we are doing today, it will be good if an important person from Changling bears witness.”
“It seems the Xie Family is really doing something major.” Fu Su also lifted the window curtain to look at the Xie Family caravan.
At the moment, the Xie Family caravan comprised of only six carriages. This was a small number for the Xie Family, but he noticed that these carriages had not been together at the start, and had gathered together from different corners of this district city.
Ding Ning remained silent as his brow furrowed.
They were clearly concealing something carefully.
Xie Rou had not disguised herself, but the carriages that followed appeared in such a fashion. This said that the Xie Family was heading someplace nearby and what the carriages contained were important things for the Xie Family.
What was being held in those carriages?
But compared to what the Xie Family was going to do soon, he was more worried about Forefather Zhou’s interference.
The Zhou Family were old aristocracy, and at present, they lacked wealth the most. The Xie Family had what the Zhou Family needed the most.
Forefather Zhou had already used the relationship between him and Xie Rou once.
