63 Chapter 63 Weird Man by the Crossing (2/2)
Zong Shou stood up curiously, tip toeing as he looked ahead. He could barely see a person who was sitting at the center of that waterfall.
He couldn't look at his face, but looking at his actions, it was like he was sighing.
There was nothing special about this person, but carriages on both sides of this river couldn't pass, stuck right at the opening. Zong Shou's expression turned serious as his eyes moved to the giant black steel blade by the man's side.
Looking at the shape of the blade, one could even call it a giant piece of steel. It was a hundred feet long, stuck into the ground. It had a dragon pattern on it, and just looking at it gave one a giant feeling of being suppressed.
Apart from that person and his blade, there were a dozen tall and strong servants who standing on the roads and blocking everyone.
”Why does this blade feel so familiar?” Zong Shou descended into thought. What he was familiar with wasn't the blade, but the ”intent” and spiritual connection of it. It was amassed and nourished by the owner of the blade every day and night.
Yin Yang directly jumped out, skimming over the land, and in just a few steps found a random person to ask about what was happening. After a short while, his face turned green as he returned.
”Prince, I heard that the person is comprehending martial arts. He wants to take a look at the Mingjing Mountain and the Fallen Cloud waterfall. He doesn't want random people to disturb and destroy the mood of the area, so no one is allowed to pass! I heard that this person has already spent seven or eight days here.”
”Comprehending martial arts?” Zong Shou frowned slightly as he looked towards the east. The giant mountain at that side was not only shaped like a mirror, the side that was facing them was as shiny and smooth as a mirror, able to reflect one's image. This place was a famous location and many martial cultivators loved to come here to comprehend martial arts, so what he said did make sense.
”There are so many carriages gathered up, so why in't there anyone who is unhappy?”
Although this place wasn't a must-pass path to get to Cloud Saint City, it was the most convenient one. The Taiyuan river traveled three thousand miles and this was where it originated. Even here it was a mile wide and as most parts of it had strong currents, only here at the waterfall was the water slightly calmer.
Yin Yang's expression became even uglier. ”The few merchant groups here indeed hired Martial Masters to protect them, there are even seven Mythic Masters. They all tried to rush him, but were chased back. I also tried to see through that person, but I can't see his strength…”
Zong Shou couldn't help but smile. Just looking at the intent that gathered on that blade, that person wasn't something that Martial Masters could fight against.
Even Zhao Yanran was far from enough. Even Lingyun Long Ruo, who had reached the Day Wandering Realm didn't have enough strength.
”He only knows how to use strength to suppress others!” Chuxue scoffed, feeling it was unfair, ”Why can't he choose another spot, why must he choose here and block everyone's way!”
Their carriage could travel a hundred feet off the ground, so even if they chose another path, it would just take a bit more time, but it was doable.
As for those horse carriages ahead, they had no choice. If they couldn't use this path, they needed to make a ten-day detour. Moreover, this place was in the wilderness, and if they stayed too long they would attract beast hordes.
Zong Shou wasn't that afraid of the beasts. With that person there, any beasts with a brain wouldn't dare to come close.
However the current him didn't have time to waste. Thinking for a while, he shook his head, ”Let's choose another path. We can't do anything about that guy.”
Yin Yang silently nodded, this matter had nothing to do with them, and at most they would just take half a day more. Just as the carriage was about to turn direction, they heard some commotion at the front, and saw those coachmen and Martial Masters were all riled up. Some bold ones even shouted out.
”Brute, do you know how much business I am losing waiting here for an entire day?”
”Scram! You want to comprehend martial arts, then go find another place! Don't block our way!”
