Chapter 125 The Sword Master's Legacy
Feng Xiyue frowned. "Yes, where is Junior Brother?!"
How could someone just suddenly disappear?!
Song Qiao was extremely anxious. He couldn't help but walk around to check, but the surroundings were extremely quiet. He didn't find any danger, let alone any monsters.
"That's so strange, how could someone suddenly disappear?"
Su Luo frowned and pondered for a moment, then said, "I remember there was a flash of white light just now, and then Chu Wenqing disappeared. The suspicious point is probably that flash of white light..."
Upon hearing Su Luo mention "white light," the Hidden Yin Snake, which had been hanging its head, couldn't help but have its eyes flicker.
A white light? Could it be that sword...?
Before it could react, the Hidden Shadow Snake felt someone approach it. The girl in blue suddenly squatted down, staring intently at it with coldness and probing in her eyes.
"Did you do something to it?"
At that moment, the murderous intent that poured out of the girl's eyes sent a chill down the spine of the Hidden Yin Serpent, which shook its head frantically.
"No, no, no! I didn't! It has nothing to do with me! I didn't do anything!"
"You know this place best. We hadn't been gone long when one of our teammates suddenly disappeared, and now you're telling me it has nothing to do with you?"
Su Luo chuckled twice and took out the Crimson Flame Spear. The Hidden Yin Serpent felt a dull pain all over its body as soon as it saw the magical weapon. It didn't care about anything else and quickly blurted out its guesses.
"It really wasn't me! It must be that sword! It was that Star Thunder Sword that caused this!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiyue and the others could no longer remain calm.
"What?! The Star Thunder Sword?!"
That's the Star Thunder Sword, the spiritual sword of Sword Lord Zhenren, ranked among the top five in the cultivation world's spiritual sword rankings! The saying that once the Star Thunder Sword is unleashed, it is invincible is no exaggeration!
Is it really the Star Thunder Sword? However, given its speed, taking Chu Wenqing away would indeed be instantaneous. But why would it want to take Chu Wenqing away?!
Song Qiao pondered for a moment, then suddenly had an idea: "The Star Thunder Sword has always been by the side of Sword Master Zhenren. If it was really the Star Thunder Sword that took away my second senior brother, could it be... could it be that the Sword Master hasn't perished yet..."
"Impossible!" Feng Xiyue shook her head without a doubt. "Master said that Sword Lord Zhenren has indeed perished!"
"Then why is that...?"
Su Luo didn't immediately believe the Hidden Yin Serpent's words. Instead, she stared intently at it and asked, "Are you lying to us?"
The Hidden Serpent hurriedly said, "I can swear an oath to the Demonic Heart, what I say is true! You can also search my memories..."
Just then, a flash of white light appeared in the distance, followed by a deafening clap of thunder, which startled the monsters and frightened others in the distance.
"What's wrong? What happened? Why is it thundering all of a sudden?!"
Over here, Su Luo and the other two exchanged a glance and said in unison, "There's thunder! Let's go check it out!"
Feng Xiyue and Song Qiao rushed forward first, with Su Luo following closely behind. At the same time, Su Luo did not forget to put a binding talisman on the Hidden Yin Snake and drag it along.
The group moved swiftly through the forest and finally stopped not far from a boulder.
Above the boulder flew a silver ancient sword, emitting a dazzling white light that vibrated the surrounding air and produced thunderous sounds. Below the sword stood Chu Wenqing, and opposite him sat a white-robed man with an elegant and refined appearance, his eyes tightly closed as if he were merely asleep.
Song Qiao recognized the white-robed man at a glance. "It's...it's Sword Lord Zhenren! He...he's really here!"
"Impossible, the Sword Lord Zhenren has indeed perished..." Feng Xiyue closed her eyes and then opened them again, somewhat doubting whether she had seen it wrong.
Her master and grandmaster wouldn't lie to her, but the Zhenren Sword Lord before her wasn't fake either. What was going on?!
At this moment, Chu Wenqing had his back to the group. It was unclear what he had been through, but his spiritual energy was surging and his body was trembling, clearly indicating that he was in great pain.
Su Luo only cared about one thing: "Is Chu Wenqing in danger right now?"
"It's alright, I can sense that this spiritual energy won't harm my junior brother. But what is this?" Feng Xiyue frowned as she observed, then suddenly her beautiful eyes widened, "It's an inheritance!"
"Inheritance?" Su Luo blinked, feeling that the word sounded familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.
Song Qiao finally recovered from his shock. Seeing Su Luo's somewhat bewildered expression, he quickly stammered, "Passing on...passing on means that when ancestors are on their deathbeds, they pass on all their cultivation techniques and internal energy to the descendants they deem worthy...this...this is an incredible opportunity..."
Su Luo suddenly realized, "So that's how it is!"
She had only heard about it once in her previous life! She never expected that Chu Wenqing would have such a powerful opportunity to obtain the inheritance of the Zhenren Sword Lord!
For a moment, everyone instinctively held their breath and stared intently at the scene, not daring to approach or disturb it.
Only the Hidden Shadow Serpent felt extreme envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Why should that brat get the inheritance?!
About half an hour later, all the spiritual energy surrounding Chu Wenqing entered his body, and then the thunder gradually disappeared. At the same time, Zhenren Sword Lord's body vanished into the air like sand.
Chu Wenqing opened his eyes, let out a long sigh, and slowly stretched out his hand. The silver ancient sword in the air emitted a series of buzzing sounds, and then obediently flew into his hand.
Chu Wen then glanced at the spot where Zhenren Sword Master had disappeared. Thinking of the earnest teachings this senior had given him in his sea of consciousness, he couldn't help but bend down and bow deeply in that direction.
After a long while, Chu Wenqing finally stood up straight. He turned around with a deft swing of his sword, the ancient sword slicing through the air and scattering layers of silver sword light. At this moment, the young man's face was expressionless. Holding the ancient sword, he looked calm and powerful, like a mysterious and unpredictable sword cultivator.
For a moment, no one spoke, feeling that Chu Wenqing had become somewhat unfamiliar.
until……
The boy's gaze finally fell on the group. His eyes changed slightly, and then a familiar smile appeared on his face as he spoke.
"Comrades! I have great news to tell you! I've actually received the inheritance of the Zhenren Sword Lord! And I've also obtained the Star Thunder Sword! My goodness, who would have believed that such immense wealth could one day befall me! Hahaha~"
The boy excitedly brandished his ancient sword, then put one hand on his hip and laughed loudly, instantly losing all the imposing aura of a swordsman he had just displayed.
Su Luo and the other two: ...
Yes, they're overthinking it. It's still the Chu Wenqing they know. Everyone in this world changes, but Chu Wenqing will never change!
The Hidden Serpent stared intently at the sword in Chu Wenqing's hand, its anger making it dizzy.
Ugh! I'm so angry! That Sword Master's body has vanished! And that damned sword! That sword almost killed it, and now it's recognized that brat as its master! Why?!
Feng Xiyue was extremely anxious and quickly called Chu Wenqing downstairs to ask what was going on: "What exactly happened?!"
Chu Wenqing jumped off the boulder and began to explain, "Actually, it's nothing much. Before Zhenren Sword Lord fell, he was unwilling to let his legacy die out, so he deliberately left a wisp of his spirit within his body, protected by the Star Thunder Sword, waiting for the arrival of a destined person. Until the Star Thunder Sword sensed the Thunderclap Sword Technique on my body, and because I am a sword cultivator, it took me away, allowing me to communicate with Zhenren Sword Lord's wisp of spirit, gain his approval, and finally let me inherit Zhenren Sword Lord's swordsmanship and this Star Thunder Sword."
As he spoke, Chu Wenqing raised the Thunderclap Sword in his hand. The ancient sword hummed in Chu Wenqing's hand, its blade was crystal clear, and a faint purple lightning could be seen at the tip of the sword.
"It really is the Star Thunder Sword!" Song Qiao exclaimed without blinking. "I... this is the first time I've ever seen such a powerful sword in person..."
Feng Xiyue also praised repeatedly, "As expected of a top-five sword on the Ancient Sword Ranking, it looks extraordinary!"
She could already foresee how many people would envy, be jealous of, and hate Chu Wenqing's sword after they left the secret realm.
Su Luo gave a thumbs up, "Chu Wenqing, you're in luck! Putting everything else aside, the inheritance of Zhenren Sword Lord alone is enough to benefit you for a lifetime."
Chu Wenqing spread his arms wide, mimicking the pose of Versailles, "Sigh, I never imagined I'd one day inherit sword techniques from the Sword Master Zhenren~ Oh well, maybe I'm just too likable? Hahaha..."
You're getting all worked up over saying you're fat.
Su Luo rolled her eyes, but before she could even say anything, the ancient sword in Chu Wenqing's hand suddenly emitted a purple light. Then, a series of "sizzling" sounds were heard, and Chu Wenqing was shocked and trembled all over, his mouth and eyes crooked, twitching like a zombie unleashed from its cage.
The group was startled and took a step back in unison.
"What’s wrong with you?!"
Chu Wenqing answered, trembling, "No...zzzz...it's okay, the Star Thunder Sword...isn't quite used to me yet, it likes to leak electricity...zzzz...we're still...in the break-in period...it's okay...haha...you'll get used to it after a while...zzzz..."
Several people: ...
God, you get used to the shocks after a while! Is this Star Thunder Sword really that temperamental? Suddenly it doesn't seem so appealing anymore!
