271 Masters Strong and Powerful Penetration (1/2)

”Master?”

After a long time, Wang Lu finally recovered from shock. He laid down Senior Sister on the ground, and then forcibly shook his head, still somewhat in disbelief.

Actually, Wang Lu’s nerves have been honed by the previous countless jaw-dropping turn of events and would not feel surprised no matter what happened in this sword tomb.

But he did not expect to see his master at this time!

The woman in white coldly humphed. ”Nonsense, look at how amazing I am, like a god descending to earth, if I am not your master, then who!”

Wang Lu sighed. ”I am relieved to hear how shameless your opening remarks are, which no one else can duplicate.”

With that, Wang Lu’s complexion immediately sank as he seriously asked, ”How is the situation?”

Wang Wu’s emergence was an extremely shocking experience for Wang Lu, nevertheless, he had expected the rescue team from his sect to arrive. After all, while he and Big Sister were in the deepest layer of the sword tomb, Liu Li and Little Bai should have already been evacuated earlier, so they should’ve reported the situation back to the sect. Similarly, after being eliminated, the three sects Shengjing, Ten Thousand Arts, and Kunlun would’ve certainly contacted their respective sect elders to inquire about the next plan.

And after knowing how things progressed, the elders of these sects would not remain indifferent. Especially the elders of Spirit Sword Sect, they should be well aware that he and Zhu Shiyao have encountered difficulties.

The team leader handbook was not only the one in his hand. There was another copy of it in the Heavenly Sword Hall and they ought to know that he and his Senior Sister were in an extremely dangerous situation, and taking into account that one of them was the lead representative while the other one was the Big Sister, which would undoubtedly be the backbone of the Spirit Sword Sect in the years to come, the sect naturally have to rescue them.

Letting disciples through hardship was one thing, but letting them die was entirely a different thing. For this reason, it would not have been unusual if all the Heavenly Sword Hall Elders came. However, no matter what, Wang Lu never thought that his master would be the first one to appear.

If he alone were trapped here, it would’ve been his master’s responsibility to rescue him. However, Big Sister was also here, so how could Sect Leader remain indifferent?

Therefore, Wang Lu was very suspicious about the situation outside.

”The situation is very messy.” Wang Wu was brief and to the point. ”The four sects were alarmed, and currently, their elders are already quarreling outside.”

With a simple sentence, she outlined the outside situation and the players. The four super sects were alerted by the bad news, but at least, it did not turn for the worst; they were just quarreling instead of fighting. As for why Wang Wu came alone, there seemed to be an explanation: Daoist Master Feng Yin and the other elders were wrangling with the other sects elders, especially the elders from Shengjing. Therefore, she could come in while the others were distracted.

”No, they are arguing outside because nobody could come in.” Wang Wu lightly said, ”There’s a very special restriction on the last layer of the sword tomb. Besides banning anyone except for the specially designated person to come in, the restriction also secretly contains the four in nine divine tribulations, which although weak, was still a genuine divine tribulation. The elders outside could only come in if all of them can break the restriction with a special technique, otherwise, they would have to give up their life trying to pass through the four in nine divine tribulations. When I came here, they were still arguing about the approach to break the restriction. While Ten Thousand Arts Sect was fighting alone against the other three sects, it seemed like they still maintained the upper hand. Unfortunately, if all of them agreed on the method from Ten Thousand Arts Sect, they would need around three to five months to break the restriction at the very least.”

”Mm, and then?” While asking, Wang Lu looked at his master in disbelief. The existence of the four in nine divine tribulations was not strange. At the time when Zhong Shengming was seriously injured, it was likely that his primordial spirit was suffused with the energy of the four in nine divine tribulations, which was then extracted by the earth immortals and placed here as a restriction. However, for a restriction that was put in place by the earth immortals and even caused the Ten Thousand Arts Sect to be at a loss, how could his master come in? Was it because her moral integrity was particularly worthless, far below even from the level of human, thus was not identified as a person by the sword tomb’s identification system and instead considered her as a dry leaf, rubble or other inanimate objects, thus allowing her to pass?

”Then I took advantage to come in while they were busy quarreling among themselves.”

”What about the four in nine divine tribulations?” Wang Lu rhetorically asked, only because that was really unbelievable.

Wang Wu casually said, ”It’s not the full version of the four in nine divine tribulations, so what’s the problem? I simply just rushed in.”

”You just barged in!?”

Wang Wu knitted her brows and asked back, ”What’s so incredible about that? I just simply cut the gordian knot! It’s like if you chase a girl and you can’t catch her, so isn’t simply using underhanded means, by drugging her, the natural option here?”

”... I think there is a big difference between our values.”

”Come on, you were obviously trying to rape Yao’Er.”

”It was just a misunderstanding.”

”Oh? That’s a misunderstanding? Do you think when Yao’Er wakes up she will believe what I say?”

Wang Lu looked down at the still unconscious Big Sister and thought that this was a topic that he was bound to lose. His master was someone with moral integrity, or lack thereof, that was difficult to overcome, therefore, he had to change the topic.

”So this means that, by rushing through the four in nine divine tribulations, you were basically risking your life to save me?”

When speaking about this, it seemed like his master’s image suddenly grew tall. No matter how serious was the absence of her moral integrity, it was undeniable that she was, after all, a really good Master.

Wang Wu somewhat embarrassedly said, ”Oh, you don’t have to praise me like that, it’s not the complete version of four in nine divine tribulations, so it’s not that big of a deal. There’s no danger in it at all.”

Although Wang Wu made it seem like nothing, Wang Lu was inwardly aghast. Just the partial version of four in nine divine tribulations you say? Even Zhong Shengming didn’t have the confidence to break through the restriction, yet you just casually passed through it like it was walking in the park? Master, you’re just a damn f*cking Jindan, are you kidding me!?

However, Wang Wu didn’t want to continue to dwell on this topic but just shrugged and asked, ”So, what happened here?”

Wang Lu had nothing to hide in front of his Master, so he told her the story in detail.

For Wang Lu’s encounter with Sword Demon, which was akin to a fierce struggle between two unevenly matched opponents, although his Master didn’t comment anything, she gave him a slight nod of praise. However, when it came to the part about the matter of earth immortals, her complexion suddenly changed.
