Chapter 524: Hidden Sword for Dozens of Years, Eight Swords Formation!
“Yu’er, you gave me this sword back then.”
“I know that you don’t like to kill and don’t like to spill blood, so I’ve refrained from using this sword for you for dozens of years. However, I’m now in a blood feud with my master and his sect, and this sword can no longer be hidden away!”
Looking at the Ice Soul Sword in his hand, the white-haired young man’s warm gaze seemed to be focused on a first love he had not seen in a long time.
“Yu’er, I originally wanted to come look for you earlier, but now that my sect has been annihilated and my junior sister is imprisoned, even though I’m unfilial, there are some things that I have no choice but to do.”
“But don’t worry, I’ll come and find you. At most, in a month’s time. The fastest is probably tomorrow morning!”
The Ice Soul Sword in the white-haired young man’s hand emitted a dazzling cold light, then split into eight sword lights. The eight sword lights were as transparent as eight thin cicada wings, yet they carried their own auras, spitting out endless cold lights.
In an instant, the entire sky was covered by ceaseless rustling sword shadows!
“This… This is the Sword Pavilion’s Five Swords Formation!”
A look of shock appeared on the green-robed old man’s face. “You… you’ve actually comprehended it to the point where you can split it into eight individual swords!”
“Run, run!”
Saying that, without a care for anything else, he flew off into the distance. However, he was extremely shocked. The previous generations of the Sword Pavilion’s pavilion masters could not finish cultivating Five Swords Formation even till they pa.s.sed away.
However, not only did this traitor s.h.i.+ Qianhan cultivate all of them, he even comprehended the last three sword moves on his own. It was truly terrifying. If such a person remained in the Sword Pavilion, he would be able to suppress any genius expert!
The other four elders were not any better.
It was as if they had seen a ghost.
s.h.i.+ Qianhan attacked! He raised his arms and pointed at the five people in green who had already leaped hundreds of feet away. The eight sword glows circling around him tore through the air like lightning.
Sensing the chill behind him, the elder in green blurted out, “You can’t kill me, I…”
Pu!
Before he could finish, a sword light pierced through the back of his head and shot out from his mouth.
Bang!
As his body fell heavily into the sea, another four bodies fell into the sea. In the blink of an eye, the seawater was dyed red, and it stained the waters.
Ye Chen’s gaze froze.
It was the Imperial Sword Method!
He had actually seen a trace of the Imperial Sword Method when the white-haired young man had used it. This was rare on Earth!
Swis.h.!.+
The eight sword lights returned one after another, finally condensing into an Ice Soul Sword. The white-haired youth waved his hand to receive it.
Pu!
A trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Qian Qian burst into tears. “Uncle, are you okay?”
The white-haired young man looked at Ye Chen. “I’ve been waiting for you. I thought we’d fight because of what happened to Qian Qian. However, I think there’s no need for that now!”
“Why?” Ye Chen frowned slightly.
Before this, he had been prepared to fight a huge battle with the other party and then bring Qian Qian back. Even though the other party was powerful, he was similarly unafraid.
“Cough… cough…”
“I have something to do. I’ll leave Qian Qian with you for now!”
He coughed violently again, and the blood at the corner of his lips thickened. “If I leave now, I’ll come back to get Qian Qian within a month. After that, I might never come back again!”
“If that’s the case, I’ll leave Qian Qian in your hands!”
Ye Chen hesitated for a moment. In the end, he flicked his finger and shot an Energy Recovery Pill at him. “You forced yourself to control the sword and triggered the hidden injuries from your early years. This medicine can help you recover!”
“No need!” However, the white haired young man refused flatly. “I, s.h.i.+ Qianhan, owe too many favors in my life. Moreover, we’re neither relatives nor friends. When we meet again in the future, it’s still unknown if we’re friends or enemies!”
“If I were an enemy, I would draw my sword at you!”
“If we are friends, let’s drink to our hearts’ content the next time we meet!”
After he finished speaking, he turned around and flashed towards the distance.
Qian Qian cried, “Uncle, can you not leave? Come with Qian Qian to Big Brother’s house. Big Brother will find a doctor for you. You promised to bring Qian Qian to Grandpa Sun.”
She could sense it. Uncle might die if he went away now!
The white-haired young man stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at Ye Chen. “Mad Southern Ye, Qian Qian’s ident.i.ty is extraordinary. Even you, the No. 1 in China, might not be able to protect her. If you can’t…”
At this point, he had already leaped a hundred meters away.
“If you can’t protect her, go find a lunatic surnamed Sun. He is the only person in this world who can protect Qian Qian!”
“Friend!”
Ye Chen spoke all of a sudden, “I have a favor to ask of you. Please help me find an old friend after you leave. His name is Ye Wushuang. He’s only 17 or 18 years old. He’s dressed in white like you. He walks with a sword on his back!”
The moment he finished speaking.
The white-haired young man was nowhere to be seen.
Ye Chen stared blankly at the sky as he mumbled to himself, “Wushuang, Wushuang, where are you?”
Back when Wushuang died, an old beggar had taken him away. Before he left, he told Lin Tai that if Ye Chen wanted to look for Wushuang in the future, he would have to go to the Sword Pavilion.
He had not found the Sword Pavilion. He did not expect to hear the news of the Sword Pavilion being destroyed. What could Wushuang’s fate be?
He was suddenly envious of Wushuang’s lifestyle. That guy was dressed in white and was unrestrained!
If he was alone, perhaps he could head to Shang Santian to look for Wushuang!
And now, even though he had finally found Qian Qian, he had even more questions about Qian Qian’s ident.i.ty!
Why did the white-haired youth personally go to Korea to seek out Qian Qian? Why did the five elders say that the entire Shang Santian had searched for Qian Qian for fifty years?
Didn’t that mean that Qian Qian was alive 50 years ago? However, 50 years later, she still looked like a four or five-year-old child.
And the netherworld token! What was its story?
Ye Chen took a deep breath.
If he was not mistaken, the netherworld token that Qi Qingfeng’s disciple was escorting had been taken away by the white-haired young man!
His mind suddenly cleared.
Looks like these people are here for the ghost s.h.i.+p!
“Big brother…”
Qian Qian tugged at the corner of his s.h.i.+rt and said pitifully, “Can Qian Qian still see Uncle in future?”
“Probably!”
Ye Chen smiled and could not help but ask, “Are you close to him?”
“This is also Qian Qian’s first time seeing Uncle!”
The girl shook her head like she was trying to remember something. “But I feel that Uncle is very familiar, like I’ve seen him before, but I can’t remember anything about Uncle.”
“It’s alright if you can’t remember. Let’s go. Big Brother will take you home. Your little sister Mengmeng is still waiting for you!” Ye Chen chuckled softly. He took one last look toward the direction the white-haired young man disappeared while carrying Qian Qian.
I hope you can come back alive!
