Somewhere on a hill.
An invisible door opened in the void, and two figures appeared.
"Is this the power of the void? It is indeed mysterious and powerful. Unfortunately … I have no hope of becoming a Daoist in this lifetime … "
Lu Huolong's face was full of regret and regret.
As a cultivator, he already felt that his death was near.
But the person he saw before his death was this unfathomable Childe Shen-soo.
"You seem to have something to say?"
Chung Shen-soo asked calmly.
"I would like to ask you to do something for me. Cough cough … "Lu Huolong coughed up blood as he took out a dagger-like small sword from his pocket.
The sword seemed to be made of wrought iron. It was black and inconspicuous. It was less than a foot long, and the two blades were sealed. There was no scabbard either.
There was a lot of rust on the blade. It was mottled, as if it was an antique.
"Please send this sword to Luozhou's One Heart Monastery. I know this is a difficult matter, but I hope that if you have the time in the future and happen to be in Luozhou, you can do this for me."
Luozhou was located at the border of the Second Empire. It was the first stop when one entered Middle Earth from the Fufeng Protectorate.
Back then, the First Empire of Yan Han was destroyed, and a large number of foreign races invaded. County of Hastings was just one of the inconspicuous ones. Luozhou was also a disaster area. There were almost fifteen different small countries in that area. Later, they were destroyed by the Second Empire one by one.
Lu Huolong knelt on one knee and offered the rusty sword with both hands.
Chung Shen-soo did not take it. Instead, he asked, "Why should I help you?"
"It's a favor. It's my duty not to help." Lu Huolong forced a smile. "I'm just taking a gamble."
"Haha."
Chung Shen-soo laughed. "Since you don't regret it, I agree."
He reached out to take the sword and felt that it was a little different.
But upon closer inspection, he could not see anything. There were probably some secrets hidden in it.
Chung Shen-soo did not want to get to the bottom of it. He only looked at Lu Huolong quietly.
This rare swordsman ended up like this because he had offended the nobles.
"I still have a secret that I would like to tell Senior. Take it as a reward for what you have done before."
Suddenly, Lu Huolong, whose face had already turned black, opened his mouth. "This time … I had planned for this trip to the Poison Dragon Cave to be foolproof. The Venerable Poison Dragon wasn't in the cave. Otherwise, with his ability to control swords, I wouldn't have dared to get close at all …"
Astral Fiend Realm cultivators could only fly a hundred steps. They were considered sword heroes and sword immortals in the mortal world, but in the eyes of true cultivators, they were still too immature.
Only when one reached the Divine Power realm would one be able to wield a sword with divine powers. That was the true means of a sword immortal!
Lu Huolong's face turned ashen. "Venerable Poison Dragon isn't the only one in the Poison Dragon Cave … There's another one hidden in there. It's the Longhu Immortal, Zhang Taiyi … If I hadn't discovered this secret, how would my foundation have been destroyed by a few poisonous snakes … I … I … Who have I worked so hard for in my entire life? The sword is not weathered by the wind and frost … "
He struggled, exhaled his last breath, and passed away from the world.
Chung Shen-soo looked at this scene and suddenly stretched out his hand, asking the Headless Count to come out and dig a hole for Lu Huolong to be buried.
This person had the air of a hero. Chung Shen-soo was prepared to give him a better treatment so that his corpse wouldn't be exposed in the wilderness after his death. Naturally, he wouldn't enslave his soul either.
"However, the Longhu Immortal, Zhang Taiyi? This person's whereabouts are uncertain. So he's in cahoots with the Venerable Poison Dragon … "
Chung Shen-soo touched his chin. He suddenly felt that there was a lot to be done in this matter.
Be it selling Zhang Taiyi to the imperial court or the Skeleton Scholar, or even selling him twice, he would be able to reap great benefits.
"The key is … Lu Huolong is a mere Astral Fiend Realm cultivator. How could he escape alive after seeing Zhang Taiyi? This is most likely a huge trap … "
Chung Shen-soo felt that either Zhang Taiyi's condition wasn't right, or the Poison Dragon Cave was a trap!
Otherwise, Lu Huolong's escape would be too much of a coincidence.
However, he wasn't concerned about this. All he had to do was find a suitable opportunity to report it to the Protectorate Manor. The Protectorate Manor would naturally scout for him.
Perhaps he could use this opportunity to probe the secret of pill formation that the Skeleton Scholar had spoken of.
Chung Shen-soo looked at the newly erected grave and felt a sudden sense of gloom. He wanted to kill a few people to relieve his boredom.
He took a step forward and the world changed abruptly. An invisible door opened in the void, allowing him to arrive at a certain place.
Daoist Spirit Crane was listening to his subordinate's report when Childe Shen-soo suddenly appeared and took Lu Huolong away. His face was shrouded in a dark cloud. "How did this itinerant cultivator get involved with a Mystical Powers expert? This is troublesome … "
Spirit Crane had only wanted to kill Lu Huolong casually and curry favor with that noble.
Now that he realized that the price was too high, he was ready to give up. Lu Huolong was dead for sure anyway.
Just then, he saw a person walking out of the void in front of him. It was Zhong Ling Shen-soo. Incomparably handsome, it was indeed Childe Shen-soo.
"Senior Shen-soo …"
Daoist Spirit Crane's heart sank, but a smile appeared on his face. "I wonder …"
"Hmph!"
Chung Shen-soo snorted coldly and made a grabbing motion with his hand.
Zhang Hezhi and Zhao Hu's skin turned incomparably pale in an instant, drained of all color.
In the next moment, pale-white palms stretched out from their abdomens.
"Childe Shen-soo, we have no enmity between us. Do you want to be on the imperial court's wanted list?"
Daoist Spirit Crane's forehead was covered in cold sweat as he shouted, "If these two have offended you, then they deserve it. Our Mirrorcloud Sect is not unreasonable …"
"Hehe …"
Chung Shen-soo could not be bothered to talk to him. He waved his hand.
Surging darkness filled the void and surged down like a tidal wave.
He had long found Daoist Spirit Crane an eyesore. Now that he had encountered him, what else was there to say?
Su Daozhi could not kill Spirit Crane, but Childe Shen-soo had no such qualms!
Even though they were wanted by the imperial court, Divine Ability experts such as the skeleton scholar and the others were still alive and well.
"Ah!"
Daoist Spirit Crane let out a long howl as the silhouette of a white crane appeared behind him.
As the white crane spread its wings, its body suddenly grew immeasurably huge. With a loud cry, many feathers shot out like arrows, as though thousands of arrows were fired at the same time!
These were White Crane Feather Arrows, the Yang Astral Technique!
Usually, even an elite team would be easily slaughtered.
But at this time, when the white feather arrows pierced into the darkness, they silently melted away, as if some terrifying monster was hidden in the boundless black tide.
Daoist Spirit Crane had never thought of going against a Divine Ability cultivator.
He had cast this spell just to stall for time.
Taking advantage of the moment when the thousands of feather arrows struck the darkness, a light flashed around him and a huge paper crane appeared beneath him. He was about to fly away.
However, in the next moment, he felt a chill on the back of his neck.
Two ice-cold palms gripped his neck, and the weight on his back suddenly increased.
It was as though a corpse had been waiting behind him all along.
"This … isn't a technique of our Yan Han Sect!"
A thought surfaced in his mind, and his consciousness sank into the darkness …
