C41 (1/2)
The four sides of the valley returned to its quiet state, and streams of water began to flow out of the dry ground. Within the Flowing Water Tan, a nearly pitch black rock was rising and falling, while the towering ancient tree behind it was still swaying in the wind as if nothing had happened. Three figures quietly gathered together on the desolate plain.
”Hehe, my name is Liu Wuhen, what about you guys?” Wu Hen looked at the two people beside him and chuckled.
”Blade Master Nameless, Blade Master Nameless!” Contrary to Wu Hen's expectations, the white-clothed youth carrying a sword on his back had actually answered his question. Although the youth's tone was icy, there was nothing unusual about it.
”You all, just call me Ninth Miss!” The cold and elegant white-clothed young girl slightly creased her brows. She had an appearance of being able to move thousands of miles away as she spoke in a dry voice with her delicate mouth wide open.
”Ninth Miss? ”What a strange name!” Wu Hen looked at the beautiful young girl in white and curled his lips in confusion. Then, he turned to look at the white clothed youth beside him and laughed as if he was familiar with him, ”Hehe, I say Nameless, we brothers are really fated to be each other! Not long ago, we met again here! ”Furthermore, we are going to be schoolmates again soon. It looks like we'll have to get closer from now on!”
”You're at the late stage of the Soul Building Stage. It seems like you've hidden your strength quite well last time!” A trace of anger appeared on the face of the nameless sword. Recalling the cultivation that Wu Hen had revealed in the forest not long ago, coupled with the combat power that Wu Hen had just used against the Crazed Killer Python, he mistook that as Wu Hen deliberately concealing his strength!
”Hehe, breaking through occasionally is really just a fluke. Brother, I've let you down!” Wu Hen laughed dryly and replied to Jian Wu Ming in embarrassment.
”Humph!” Jianming coldly snorted, he no longer bothered with this topic. Its sharp eyes were like swords as it stared at the towering ancient tree in the pool of water.
”Cough cough, Ninth Miss, why are both of you here at the same time? This place is guarded by Fierce Beasts. Did you discover some strange treasure? ” Wu Hen could not help but cough dryly when he saw Jian Nameless was no longer paying attention to him. He turned and looked at the similarly cold young lady in white beside him, forcing himself to open his mouth to ask.
”Passing by!” The girl in white, who claimed to be the Ninth Miss, rolled her eyes at Wu Hen and spat out two words with a cold voice.
”Cough cough …” It was obvious that he had been taken advantage of. A sense of gloom filled Wu Hen's heart. He had wanted to kindly step forward and talk to her, to liven up the awkward atmosphere. And the result? On the left side, there was an old man with a sullen face and on the right side, there was an older sister with a frosty expression. The two of them stood there as if everyone owed them money. This depressing atmosphere made Wu Hen extremely unhappy.
”A few days ago, I stumbled upon this place! I've seen the scene here in a book! The ancient texts once said, ”Where the Cliff Python sleeps, there must be a great treasure in the world!” Swordname stood with his hands behind his back, staring into the distance with his sharp eyes. His face was still abnormally cold, but he started to strangely explain to Wu Hen.
”Yi, so that's how it is. There are definitely strange treasures here!” Wu Hen's eyes lit up when he heard that. He remembered that Demon Sovereign Huo Xiao had also said that there would be great treasures here. Now that he had obtained both the main chamber of the nameless sword, Wu Hen naturally no longer had any doubts about who he was.
”Then, Ninth Miss, you also saw that there is a treasure here?” Wu Hen patiently asked the young lady in white again in a soft voice.
”Passing by!” The ninth lady gently lifted her willow leaf arched brows and said the two familiar words from her mouth, neither cold nor indifferent.
”Three days ago, she came here by chance. When she found me, she didn't leave!” Jian Wu Ming rolled his eyes at Wu Hen who was by Bai's side, his face ashen as he whispered to him in the darkness.
”Cough cough, so you're saying that the Ninth Miss is really just passing by!” Traceless Aftermaths gulped his saliva. It was likely that the nine misses had indeed stumbled upon the hidden Sword Nameless when they passed by this place. If it was said that there was no oddity in this place that could cause Jian Wuming, who was an absolute genius, to halt his steps and wait patiently, even if he were beaten to death, he would not have believed it. It was no wonder that Ninth Miss kept hiding to the side and refused to leave!
”Nameless, how long do we have to wait?” Looking at the water in the lake, Wu Hen secretly transmitted his life force to the towering ancient tree, which was emitting an increasingly purer aura.
”I've been guarding this place for a few more days. The aura coming from this ancient tree is now very mature. I believe that tonight, a great treasure will appear! ” Jian Wu Ming's eyes swept across Wu Hen and then looked at the cold and elegant white-clothed female beside him. He did not secretly send a sound transmission and instead spoke straightforwardly.
”Hey, it's ten in the morning!” ”Looks like there's still some time before I take a good rest!” Wu Hen looked at the darkened sky and sat down cross-legged to meditate. The Myriad Ancient Art activated quietly, and Wu Hen started to silently absorb the pure life-force emitted from the surrounding air. Once this pure life force entered his body, it quickly fused with the primordial chaos. The originally pure and terrifying grandmist energy began to surge with more and more power as it fused with the faint traces of life energy.
”Yi, the chaos energy of grandmist is actually much thicker than before. It seems like this strange treasure will certainly bring great benefits to me!” Wu Hen's eyes suddenly lit up. Without saying anything further, he began to circulate the Eternal Heaven Art, secretly absorbing the vigorous life energy around him.
”Why are you telling me this?” The cold and beautiful ninth lady knitted her brows in confusion, and asked Sword Nameless by the side in a low voice.
”Hehe, with just my strength alone, I am unable to cut down that vicious beast Cliff Python! I believe that even you will not be able to take it down! ” Jianming stared at the black rocks that were moving up and down in the pond and spoke unhurriedly. To the side, there was no trace of happiness or anger on the cold and elegant face of the Ninth Miss. She only looked ahead and nodded her head lightly.
”Hehe, but adding Wu Hen, my chances of winning will be above level 7! The feeling you give me is that you are always in danger! I believe that if you are willing to make your move, our chances of winning will be above the ninth floor! ” The eyes of the mysterious man shone with a bright light as he spoke with confidence!
”How can I trust you?” A sneer appeared on the ice-cold face of the ninth lady, as she asked the nameless sword in a low voice.
