Chapter 376 - 277: Perfect Demon Seed (Part 2)
Nangong Weiyang timely called out to Sword One,
The sword was already an inch away from the person’s face.
"Tan Lang!" Nangong Weiyang exclaimed in surprise.
In the pouring rain, the person who suddenly appeared was Tan Lang, the Squad Leader of the Dubhe Sub-Branch of Beidou Bang. He looked at the sword merely an inch away and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Suddenly, he remembered that Gu Zhan had repeatedly instructed him to speak up immediately upon seeing Sword One.
He had been a bit puzzled at the time,
But now he finally understood,
If he had been even a little bit later, he would have directly become a soul under Sword One.
"True Sword One, Miss Nangong," Tan Lang cupped his hands and said, "I am under orders to bring you both away."
Nangong Weiyang said seriously, "Under whose orders? Gu Zhan’s?"
"Yes." Tan Lang nodded.
Nangong Weiyang said in astonishment, "Brother Gu is actually willing to risk the world’s condemnation to rescue the two of us?"
Tan Lang said seriously, "There’s no need to doubt. If it weren’t for our Palm Seal’s intervention, you wouldn’t be able to escape."
Nangong Weiyang exclaimed, "This rain, was it caused by Brother Gu?"
Tan Lang nodded.
Nangong Weiyang did not hesitate any longer and immediately said, "Then please, Brother Tan Lang, lead the way."
...
In Great Desert City, endless rain poured down,
With forces from all sides hunting everywhere.
At this moment, on a long street,
Wei Wuya, the Sect Leader of Sword King City, stood under an eave, looking at the rain with furrowed brows. Facing him, a wave of Primordial Qi fluctuated as Grand Elder Yuan Zhixiang slowly appeared. He quickly walked to the eave and said seriously, "Senior Brother, it’s troubling. This rain came too suddenly and has already covered up Junior Brother’s aura. Now, all sects in the city have lost track of him."
"Find him, Sword One must be found!" Wei Wuya’s face was somber.
Yuan Zhixiang said softly, "Let’s just give up, Senior Brother, shall we?"
"What nonsense are you talking about," Wei Wuya’s pupils were filled with blood, glaring viciously at Yuan Zhixiang, saying, "Have you forgotten how much effort we’ve spent to make Sword One a Fallen Demon?
We even offended our grandmaster to cultivate Sword One, and now you tell me to give up, you’re letting our efforts go to waste? Don’t you know why we’re cultivating Sword One?"
Yuan Zhixiang remained silent.
After a while, Wei Wuya calmed down and said, "Junior Brother, forgive me, it’s my impatience."
"No problem," Yuan Zhixiang shook his head, saying, "I understand, Senior Brother. Cultivating Sword One into a Fallen Demon was done together, and I know how much you have sacrificed. It’s just that we really seem to have miscalculated this time!"
Wei Wuya suddenly coughed twice, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Yuan Zhixiang was shocked and quickly said, "Senior Brother, you..."
Wei Wuya waved his hand and said, "No problem, indeed miscalculated. I didn’t expect Sword One’s Demon Nature to be so strong after he became a Fallen Demon; I only used thirty or forty percent strength, and carelessness caused this mess,
But precisely because of this, the regret of losing Sword One is even stronger in my heart. He was the perfect demon; he had the greatest hope of becoming an unconstrained Land Immortal in the Grotto Heaven Realm!
Do you understand, Junior Brother, what an unconstrained Land Immortal means, Junior Brother, you should understand that an unconstrained Land Immortal is truly invincible, and our Sword King City could establish an era... just like that it’s gone!"
Yuan Zhixiang furrowed his brows and said, "Senior Brother, who exactly was it that secretly helped Sword One?"
Wei Wuya shook his head and said, "I don’t know, Rain Summoning Technique, I really can’t figure out who in Yunxi could have Rain Summoning Technique at this realm?"
"Investigate!" Yuan Zhixiang said, "As long as we have such a clue, we will definitely be able to find it and hope to retrieve Sword One."
"He must be retrieved," Wei Wuya said coldly, "If we truly can’t get him back, then let him be destroyed, but this perfect Demon Seed mustn’t fall into someone else’s hands."
"I understand," Yuan Zhixiang nodded, "However, Senior Brother, we need to initiate the second plan now, Sword One’s retrieval is now uncertain."
Wei Wuya pondered, "If Sword One can be cultivated into a perfect Demon Seed, then I can certainly cultivate another one. Is there any news on Qi Baiyu’s whereabouts?"
Yuan Zhixiang nodded and said, "Already found, but seemingly Qi Baiyu has learned something, he has abandoned the Heartless Sword Dao and gone to marry and have children, switching to the Red Dust Sword Dao!"
"Humph," Wei Wuya said coldly, "It won’t be his choice, I invested years in cultivating him, step by step creating many opportunities, he can’t just escape if he wishes, hasn’t Liu Baishi come to Yunzhou?"
Yuan Zhixiang raised his eyebrows, shocked and said, "Senior Brother, Liu Baishi is the Young Sect Leader of the Yijian Sect. If we move against her, Yijian Sect won’t let it rest!"
Wei Wuya squinted his eyes and said, "As long as I can cultivate a perfect Demon Seed, what does the Yijian Sect amount to? Furthermore, this is Yunzhou, not Qingzhou; the Yijian Sect can’t reach that far."
"I understand."
Yuan Zhixiang cupped his hands and said, "Senior Brother, how should we explain to the Yunxi Martial World now?"
Wei Wuya said slowly, "It’s about time, our Sword King City fully participated in the siege of Sword One and publicly announced his expulsion from the sect. We’ve given enough explanation, and later, compensating the other sects sufficiently will solve it."
"I’m afraid they won’t let it rest." Yuan Zhixiang said.
"Humph," Wei Wuya sneered and said, "If they dare to go too far and act foolishly, then they shouldn’t exist!"
...
In a pavilion,
Li Tianhai, the Sect Leader of Golden Crow Sword Sect and Jin Guanyun, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley sat facing each other.
Li Tianhai poured a cup of tea for Jin Guanyun and said, "Brother Jin, what do you make of Sword King City’s latest antics? I really can’t figure it out!"
