Who was Shui Yuntian? As the leader of the Nanhuangzong Sect, whose name shook the world and all the emperors had to be courteous to him, he was most familiar with the power that Nanhuangzong and the Northern Emperor Sect had accumulated over thousands of years. Nanhuangzong and the Northern Emperor Sect were like two towering ancient trees that had been growing for thousands of years. Storms might be able to shake them, but it was impossible to uproot them. And while Evil Sect, which was a tree that had grown by leaps and bounds within a year, might be tall and have branches, its foundation could not be mentioned in the same breath as theirs.
He had also seen the changes brought about by the appearance of the Heretical Sect. He was calm and composed.
Shui Yuntian continued, "Compared to the Heretical Sect, I'm more concerned about Ye Wuchen of Sky Dragon City. Although I haven't had any direct contact with him, three years ago, I've sent someone to observe his every move. After he came back, I've been watching him every day. As time goes by, not only can I not see through him clearly, but I also can't figure him out. Mengchan also said that he is an extremely tricky and dangerous person. Even if he has become a useless person, we still have to be cautious. "
Shui Yuntian didn't agree. "You've mentioned this person to me many times. I still think that the Sword Of Emperor Nan is too important. If we can't tempt him, we can just force him to tell us. Why waste so much time and effort on him? "
"Some things are not as simple as they seem. He was the one who took the initiative to tell Mengchan that he knew where the Sword Of Emperor Nan was. With his intelligence, how could he not know that he might be threatened and even hurt his family? So, since he dared to bring it up, he must have a move that even we have to be cautious about. For the sake of the Sword Of Emperor Nan, we have to be careful and make the three-year agreement with him. Even if it's just a feint, we can't take the risk. After all, the Sword Of Emperor Nan is very important. If we lose the information about it because of our unscrupulous means, we will regret it. At that time, it will be useless even if we exterminate the Yeh family. You already know the power of the Northern Emperor's Bow, and the Sword Of Emperor Nan must be similar to it. Now that both of them have appeared, their whereabouts are unknown. If the Northern Emperor Sect obtains the Northern Emperor's Bow first, it will be very disadvantageous to us. "Shui Yuntian explained.
Shui Yunpo's face showed a thoughtful expression. He suddenly asked, "Is it possible that the Sword Of Emperor Nan … is actually in Ye Wuchen's hands?"
Shui Yuntian chuckled and nodded slowly. "Of course it's not impossible. According to Seventeen and Eighteen, who were hidden in the Great Gale Army, although Ye Wuchen was strong, he shouldn't have been a match for Feng Zhaoyang. But in the end, he suddenly made a shocking slash and cut Feng Zhaoyang, who was famous for his defense, in half. The slash on the ground was also more than a hundred meters long. This slash was far beyond his own strength. It's not something a Heaven or Divine Weapon can add on. The most suspicious thing about him was that the sword in his hand was wrapped in flames. In a situation where his life is in danger, he still wants to hide the appearance of the sword. Hehe, strange, strange. So, this is a big possibility. Not only is it in his hand, it has already recognized him as its master. "
"What? Then … "Shui Yunpo was startled.
Shui Yuntian raised his hand and said, "This is only a possibility. At the same time, I don't think the Sword Of Emperor Nan will recognize a useless person as its master. Let's wait a little longer. When I run out of patience, it's fine even if I have to resort to unscrupulous means. "After saying this, he turned his gaze in the direction of the door and said," Let's wait and see about the evil sect. "
Shui Yuntian pushed the door open and walked out.
He walked past a garden of colorful flowers and stepped into the pavilion until he stood in front of a tightly shut wooden door. Shui Yuntian stopped. After a short moment of silence, he pushed the door open.
In the room, there was only a beautiful middle-aged woman in light-colored clothes. She only glanced at his arrival and then ignored him. She was already in her middle years. Her face was a little pale, but her facial features and the noble temperament that emanated from her bones showed that she must have been a beauty that could topple cities and countries when she was young.
Shui Yuntian walked to the middle-aged woman and said in a pleasant tone, "Sister Fu, my Water Jade Technique has finally reached the ninth level. I've crossed the threshold of the middle stage of the divine path. Aren't you happy for me?"
The middle-aged woman lowered her eyes and said, "Your Water Jade Technique has been tainted by fame, wealth, and violence. Becoming stronger will only bring greater disasters to the world. Why should I be happy? "
Shui Yuntian was already used to her tone and didn't mind it. He said with a straight face, "A man should aspire to the world. Even if he fails, it won't be in vain. Wasting one's life for an illusory rumor would be letting down the strongest Water Jade Technique in the world, and letting down everything one had. Younger Sister Fu, why can't you understand until today? This isn't just my choice. It's also the hope of the entire clan. "
The middle-aged woman didn't reply. Instead, she silently raised her head and looked at Shui Yuntian. The pair of cold eyes seemed to pierce through Shui Yuntian's heart. Amidst the silence, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
It was a silent smile, but Shui Yuntian could hear the mockery in the depths of his heart. He regretted bringing up this topic again. With a long sigh, he turned around and said, "Go out more. You've always been weak. It's not good for your body to stay cooped up in your room."
When he walked out of the room, the familiar depression and indignation appeared in his heart again. The only person who could make this farsighted and calm Nanhuangzong Sect Master feel so miserable was the middle-aged woman called Shui Fu Er. She was his wife and also the mistress of the entire Nanhuangzong Sect.
At least, that was the case on the surface.
Shui Yuntian walked down the pavilion and his footsteps involuntarily moved in another direction. Whenever he felt depressed because of Shui Fu Er, he would always look for him out of habit. Only in this way could he balance his mind and improve his mood as quickly as possible.
In the dark underground prison, there was a madman. It was said that because this madman often went completely crazy, the other prisoners in the prison were unable to sleep. Thus, he was locked up alone for more than twenty years. For more than twenty years, the madman who had betrayed Nanhuangzong and turned into a madman had been locked up there without moving. As time passed, the isolated underground prison cell gradually became a safe nest for all kinds of reptiles and rats. As soon as one approached it, the pungent stench almost made one faint. Thus, there were no guards in this underground prison. No one would be willing to guard a place like this and watch a person who could not escape. Sending a meal to the madman every day so that he would not starve to death became the toughest task.
Apart from everything else, just facing that madman once was enough to give him nightmares for the entire night.
Shui Yuntian walked for a long time and stopped on a piece of land covered in weeds. In front of him, there was a hole less than a meter wide. The surrounding weeds covered a small part of this hole. Shui Yuntian tapped his feet and leapt up, falling straight into the hole.
This hole was more than three meters deep. Below the hole, there was a tunnel that was about ten meters long. Everything in front of him was pitch black and the ground under his feet was filled with stinking mud. As Shui Yuntian landed, the dozen or so rats by his feet all scurried away, causing chaos among the surrounding rats. "Zhi zhi" sounds could be heard without end. Shui Yuntian strode forward, taking one step at a time.
The chaotic sounds of the rats woke up the sleeping madman. In the darkness, a pair of eyes suddenly opened. A hoarse roar like the roar of a despairing beast came from the end of the tunnel. In this small dark space, it was even more ear-piercing and terrifying.
"Ah!! Ugh … Hahahaha, ugh ah!! Hehehehe, oh ha, oh ha … Hahahaha … "
Strange cries, strange laughter, and strange roars could be heard far away. The people of Nanhuangzong who occasionally passed by were already used to it and ignored it. In the darkness, a light lit up, lighting up a lamp on the wall of this simple and crude dungeon.
Rather than calling this a dungeon, it would be better to call it a roughly dug underground cave.
With the weak light from the fire, at the end of the cave, a person that looked like a devil appeared. His clothes had already been shredded into coarse cloth strips, unable to cover his body. The skin that was exposed was gray to the extreme. His dirty and messy hair had already grown so long that it almost reached the ground. As he roared, the hair covered his face as it swung. Even if it didn't cover his face, only a black face could be seen. His true appearance could not be seen.
His feet, hands, and neck were all wrapped in golden chains. Those golden chains did not show any signs of rotting after more than twenty years. Under the candlelight, they still reflected a dazzling golden luster. Shui Yuntian stood there, quietly looking at this madman.
"The current you, no matter who sees you, they will pity you, hate you, and avoid you. But why, even though you have become a madman, Sister Fu still can't forget you? All these years, if it weren't for her, you would have died without a burial ground 23 years ago. I am already middle-aged, but I have to say this, the word 'love' can cause great harm. "
"Ah ah ah ah!! Hehe … Ugh ah … Hahahaha … Ahhhh … "The madman wildly waved his four limbs that were wrapped in golden chains, as if he wanted to grab Shui Yuntian's body and tear him apart. The hoarse and terrifying roar from his mouth completely suppressed his voice. Shui Yuntian did not seem to feel anything. Looking at the pitiful madman in front of him, he continued to ramble.
"But, this is also good. To be able to let you live like this, to see you in a state where you wish you were dead, isn't it a kind of joy?"
"Back then, I worked hard just so that I could be worthy of Sister Fu, but she still chose you. I never understood … At that time, although you had higher talent, my Water Jade Technique was far superior to yours, and I was the strongest among the younger generation in the sect. In terms of personality, you were naturally playful and did not seek to improve, while I trained hard in both literature and martial arts. I was calm and steady, and even the elders praised me. In terms of age, we were only three days apart, and in terms of appearance … we were shockingly identical, but she still chose you. Why … Why … Just what is it that you are stronger than me?! "
"From the day that Sister Fu married you, I no longer saw you as a brother, but hated you to the bone. At that time, you did not know that every time I spoke to you with a smile on my face, I wanted to stab your heart with my sword. "
