Chapter: 921 (2/2)
He could now be reunited with his wife and children. He could now explain to them what had happened back then. He could repent before them. He missed them a lot…
Qing Shui stood there quietly, looking at the old man who slowly fell down but was wearing a serene smile. Qing Shui let out a long breath. The old man could be said to be free now.
Qing Shui placed the old man onto that Wolf-Headed Jadewater Hawk, not evening moving the sabre. He watched as the Wolf-Headed Jadewater Hawk left his vision and it was only then that fresh blood trickled down the corner of his lips.
He wiped it off. His injuries were not very serious but were not light either. However, he could treat them himself. He put away the Blackjade Poisonous Spiderweb and the other violet colored Sky Prison Sabre.
“He’s won!” Mu Qing looked at that silhouette which was not considered very tall. However, at this moment, she felt that he was even taller than the mountain peak which had reached into the clouds.
“He’s won!”
…
Many people from the Mu Clan heaved a sigh of relief. At a point of life and death, many of them felt very scared. Maybe a lot of them might not be afraid of death but they couldn’t withstand the atmosphere before death arrived. Moreover, many of them couldn’t really let go of everything and would definitely have things they couldn’t put down. It was like how people who committed suicide tended to be people who no longer had anything in this world which they would miss and they felt disheartened with this world.
Suddenly, more people came to pay their respects at the wake. As time passed by, more and more powerful sects from the city sent people over. There were even some from reputable sects and clans who were no weaker than the Sky Prison Sect who had sent representatives.
There were also people from Dong Clan and Sun Clan as well.
All the way until the afternoon, when they were preparing to move the coffin, the sounds of someone coming to pay their respects were heard.
The Godly Sword Clan has arrived!
Many people from the Mu Clan were stunned. To think that the most powerful sect in the city, the Godly Sword Clan had come. Mu Fengyang quickly stepped up, dressed in his mourning clothes. At this stage, they still got a shock when they heard that people from the Godly Sword Clan had come.
More than ten people came. The one in the lead was a middle-aged man who stood upright, wearing a set of white clothes with some parts colored gold. A crimson long sabre was embroidered on the clothes, giving the elegant and handsome man an additional sharp disposition.
“Senior, I heard that the Mu Clan’s Old Ancestor passed away. Our Old Ancestor has sent us here to pay our respects” the middle-aged man put his hands together and said to Mu Fengyang.
“Please help extend my thanks. This way please!” Mu Fengyang said calmly.
What person was Mu Fengyang? How could he not understand the reason why they had come? There could only be two possibilities. The first one was because the Mu Clan now had the right to enter the circle of the strongest factions in the city. Thus, the Godly Sword Clan had come forth to build good relations and become friends or allies with them. Another possibility was that they were here to check out their abilities and then, while they were still suffering from casualties, to nip this potential threat in the bud while it was still growing.
However the representatives the Godly Sword Clan had sent were juniors. Therefore, chances were that it was the first possibility. This was a great chance for the Mu Clan.
After the guy had paid his respects, he didn’t stay long and turned to leave. Mu Fengyang sent him off himself.
“Senior, after the funeral, Old Ancestor hopes that everyone can meet up,” when Mu Fengyang sent him to the door, the guy said softly to Mu Fengyang.
“Alright, I’ll definitely find a day and head over in person.”
“Senior, there’s no need to send us off any further. We’ll take our leave!”
…
Qing Shui watched from afar as the man left. The Godly Sword Clan did very well and didn’t pursue the “insignificant” things. For example, with Mu Clan’s old man dead, who was it who had killed the two old men from the Sky Prison Sect? Even if they knew that it was him, they didn’t ask. After all, they were here to attend the funeral.
The funeral procession went ahead as planned. A good time was selected for the old man to be buried. It was a tiring day mentally for Qing Shui and he went back for an early rest.
In the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, Qing Shui laid down on the bed, feeling relaxed. Everything had come to a close and he had reaped a lot of rewards. It was a pity that he wouldn’t be able to return for the new year. The things here should still take some time. He had promised Mu Clan’s old man and he would need to help the Mu Clan strengthen their standing here a little bit more before he left.
Cultivation, creating formations, drawing talismans…
Refining poison, tempering treasures, forging…
There were many things which Qing Shui had to do. Every day Qing Shui would set up the Nine Palace Eight Trigrams Formation once but he would fail every single time. He was now used to it. It was as if it would be abnormal if he were to succeed.
Qing Shui didn’t know he was stubborn. Right now, the Duality Minutest Formation and Nine Palace Steps had reached quite high levels. It would be very hard to bring them to a higher level. He would need more time.
The Five Elements Minor Formation was a training which required coordination with other people and thus Qing Shui didn’t study too much into it after he had taught it to Mu Qing and the others. Right now, other than studying the Nine Palace Eight Trigrams Formation, he spent most of his effort on the Spirit Gathering Formation.
Although Qing Shui had set up the formation before and could do it despite barely succeeding, there were many benefits to the Spirit Gathering Formation. For example, if some precious medicinal herbs were used to set up the formation, it could allow the medicinal herbs to grow better and their quality would be raised greatly as well. It could also be used to improve the demonic beasts’ growth. It could even be used to increase the rate of his cultivation if he were to set up the formation next to him when he was cultivating.
