Chapter 45 (1/2)

A flowing rainbow slipped across the sky like gorgeous cloth. It stopped over the sky above an ancient forest and turned into a flying carpet that was almost 10 square meters wide.

The carpet was inscribed with many spiritual tattoo formations, shining brilliant rays. As if with a spirit of its own, it inhaled and exhaled the spiritual energy from the nature all the time. How miraculous and extraordinary it was!

Clearly, it was an extremely valuable Spiritual Flier!

At this moment, a man and a woman were standing on it.

“Master, why did we stop here?” The woman asked with confusion. Wearing a black dress, her waist looked very slim, her figure extremely graceful, and her oval face charming and enchanting. Her black eyebrows were straight, exuding an air sharp like a blade.

She was captivating like a wild rose with thorns, gorgeous but dangerous.

Were any important figures of Donglin Town here, they would immediately recognize that she was the famous “Black Rose” – Mu Wansu, who was also the principal of Keystone Business, the biggest business in Donglin Town.

Keystone Business was one of the few biggest businesses in Ziyao Empire that was even richer than the emperor, with its branches distributed all over the vast territory of the country.

The boss of Keystone Business, Fortune God Shi, was a legendary person of the empire whose astronomical amount of wealth was rumored to be envied by the most powerful members of the royal family.

Therefore, Mu Wansu, the Black Rose, could never be simple.

However, such a person was now standing tamely by the man’s side, her words full of admiration and respect.

“Can’t you see it? A big fight took place here some time ago.” The man looked down with hands behind his back.

He was tall with shoulders wide like mountains. The curves of his face were manly and broadly scattered. During the opening and closing of his eyes, an air of majesty that overlooked all could be felt in a casual way.

He stood there naturally, with an overwhelming sense of oppression and a formidable presence.

“A fight……” Mu Wansu narrowed her eyes with some seriousness. Taking a closer look, she found that the forest had suffered dreadful destruction, showing horrifying fighting vestiges everywhere.

“Master, you get a sharp eye!” Mu Wansu gasped in admiration.

The man who was called Master paid no attention to the flattering words. He murmured to himself, “If what I assumed is right, one of the fighters must be the ninth Childe of the Shie clan from the Celebrity Lane. But what interests me most is his opponent.”

“The ninth Childe of Shie?” said Mu Wansu.

A rakish figure in a jade robe and riding on a sword suddenly appeared in her mind.

She said surprisingly, “The ninth Childe of Shie who is widely praised as the Young Sword King?”

“Is there anyone else who can perform the Sword Scripture Invincible except for  Shie Yutang? The scripture has a long history and is said to be incomplete. Even so, it is mighty enough to shake the earth and kill the ghost,” said the Master.

Speaking of martial arts, a hot and sharp shine flashed by in his eyes. “It was a pity that we came late. Otherwise, we can witness the power of the sword scripture,” said the Master with a regretful tone.

Mu Wansu was shocked and stirred by the fact that it was really the Young Sword King, Shie Yutang.

Among the extraordinarily vast Ziyao Empire, there was a very famous place, Celebrity Lane, in the Forbidden City, where harbored nearly all the influential officials with mighty power.

And the Shie Family, one with a martial history for thousands of years, had been living there long ago. As a descendant of Shie, Shie Yutang was already famous for being a rare and talented practitioner.

When he successfully grasped the Sword Scripture Invincible, the ancestral martial art of Shie, the whole imperial city was shocked, making him even more noted.

It was because that nobody in the family had mastered the Sword Scripture Invincible for nearly a hundred years.

Although Mu Wansu wasn’t born in the Forbidden City, she had naturally heard of it as the principal of Keystone Business, yet she was still amazingly surprised.

“If so, the ninth Childe of Shie had arrived in the Three Thousand Mountains before we did?” asked Mu.

Regaining calmness, she immediately realized the key of the problem.

“Certainly he did,” said the Master.

He nodded, saying, “Now who doesn’t know that the Flamen from the Imperial Observatory witnessed a heavenly anomaly in the Forbidden City? Legend has it that peerless treasure is very likely to appear. Shie Yutang must have come for this.”

Then he frowned, saying, “I’m more curious about whom he fought with.”

Mu thought for a while and took out a map. She scanned quickly and said, pointing into the distance, “There is a place called Feiyun Village about ten miles away. Maybe we can go check it out there.”

The Master was surprised, saying, “Someone is living there?”

Mu laughed, saying, “Before we set out, I have gathered some information about the Three Thousand Mountains, and have leant by accident that someone found a small Feiyun Fire-Copper vein here many years ago……”

They actuated the flying carpet under their feet and talked while gliding over the sky.

Mu explained Feiyun Village clearly to her Master on the way, making him suddenly enlightened.
