Chapter 66: Great Things Are Expected
“Old man, I’m not yet your match, but I will return,” Xiao Jian said, sweeping his wide sleeves. He then glanced coldly at Fengyun Wuji and flew away like a great bird towards the distance.
Fengyun Wuji had never seen such a uniquely characterized disciple before. From Du Gu Wu Shang’s expression, it seemed that he greatly appreciated this disciple. Fengyun Wuji began to understand why Gu Du Piao chose to leave Du Gu Wu Shang, to join the Lord of Destruction, and why he would be sweating profusely when he couldn’t draw his sword in front of him.
“Senior, I wonder what your thoughts are on the matter we discussed earlier?” Fengyun Wuji’s eyes were fixed on the direction where Xiao Jian had left. This person’s cultivation of the sword path was too similar to the Sword Emperor’s realm. If he could join, it would be a great help. As for Du Gu Wu Shang, he was indispensable. Fengyun Wuji couldn’t even see through his strength.
“You can’t count on it. Xiao Jian will never join any side, whether it’s demons, angels, or humans. They are all the same to him,” Du Gu Wu Shang still had his back to Fengyun Wuji. Even as he walked in the void, Fengyun Wuji could hardly feel any so-called aura of a master from him. It felt as if he was just an ordinary person, standing quietly on the ground. This feeling was unspeakably strange.
“Every swordsman will sooner or later join the Sword Domain,” Fengyun Wuji looked in the direction where Xiao Jian had disappeared and thought silently.
“I hope you can join the Sword Domain!” Fengyun Wuji looked at Du Gu Wu Shang and said earnestly.
Du Gu Wu Shang turned around and faced Fengyun Wuji: “Why? If it was Ximen Yi Bei who asked you to come, then you can go back. As a warrior, I am only interested in martial arts and will never join a certain force because of someone’s relationship. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have stayed here for tens of thousands of years.”
“I ask you to join, not because I have any ambitions. I created the Sword Domain, not to confront the four domains, or to compete for the world, or anything like that.”
“Oh, then why?”
“If you are interested, let’s go inside and talk in detail.”
“Hmm, if you can persuade me, I can consider joining the Sword Domain. If not, I am only interested in martial arts. You just need to defeat me.” After speaking, he turned and walked into the cave.
The two sat down in the cave one after the other, and Fengyun Wuji continued: “Even Ximen Yi Bei admitted that he dared not easily draw his sword in front of you. Although I have the cultivation of the Sword Emperor’s realm, it is only similar to your disciple Xiao Jian’s strength, at most a little stronger. He is not your opponent, and it is difficult for me to defeat you.”
“… You are very sincere and frank. Speak, I am listening.”
“I established the Sword Domain, indeed, there is the intention to establish my own power, but this is not the ultimate goal. The real reason is…” Then, Fengyun Wuji narrated his experience in the ancient times. When he spoke of the human woman who bit her tongue and died in front of him, and he was powerless, when he spoke of the disciple who was chased and lost his heart after ascending, but ran to him with a strong will, Fengyun Wuji’s cold face couldn’t help but shed a line of tears. Fengyun Wuji didn’t wipe it off. Whenever he thought of this, he would always fall into deep self-blame. Why, why couldn’t I do anything at that time.
Upon hearing this, even Du Gu Wu Shang, whose heart had been unmoved for thousands of years, couldn’t help but change his expression. He snorted coldly, slapped his hand on the ground, and the cave’s inner wall was suddenly filled with countless fine sword marks.
“Great Free and Easy Wanderer is also considered a righteous person. The Blade Domain has always claimed to be righteous, but they watched the second prince of the Demon Realm violate the human woman, not only not trying to stop it, but even helping the tyrant. I have seen the Blade Emperor in the Blade Domain. I thought that as a domain master, he would uphold justice, but his words were still consistent with those guys. Can’t kill, can’t move, compromise, must our human peace be exchanged for the sacrifice of women, and the suffering of hundreds of thousands, millions of our people in the Demon Realm? If humiliation can bring peace, then such peace is better off not having.”
Du Gu Wu Shang’s silver hair fluttered, and his emotions seemed to be extremely fluctuating. He sighed and said, “I have been in the ancient times for a long time and have known about these ancient humans who have existed for millions and tens of millions of years. I know that their thinking has been rigid and decayed, but I didn’t expect to have decayed and fallen to this extent. Forget it, forget it, I, Du Gu Wu Shang, who is known as the Sword Demon, sought defeat as my lifelong mission before ascending. However, I am first a member of the human race, and then a warrior. The situation of our human race has reached this point. Although we martial artists cannot resist the heavens alone, we should at least fulfill our responsibilities as humans. Forget it, forget it, my vow to never leave this valley is hereby broken. If anyone dares to object to your Sword Domain, let them first ask me Du Gu Wu Shang!”
“As for Xiao Jian, I will try my best to persuade him. You shouldn’t hold too much hope. This child is born with only reason and no emotions. In the future, if you need help, you can ask the eagle to inform me. It can travel thousands of miles a day and is not much slower than the roc. Once I receive a message, no matter where I am, I will arrive in an instant.”
After speaking, Du Gu Wu Shang clapped his hands, and a bald eagle several people high walked slowly from outside the cave.
“Eagle, this is the Lord of the Sword Domain, Fengyun Wuji, my friend. In the future, if you hear his call, you should rush over immediately, without any delay, understand?”
Du Gu Wu Shang stroked the black eagle’s head and said softly.
Ah!
The black eagle nodded and made a sound, but the voice was quite hoarse and unpleasant. Then it turned its head and stared at Fengyun Wuji fiercely for a while, then turned around and spread its wings, disappearing into the blue sky…
“With your words, I have some confidence in my heart. At least, the vitality of our race is not completely gone.” Fengyun Wuji sighed and stood up.
“I have heard that there is a sword master named Zi Huang on the Nan Sheng Dou Ji Mountain. He also has several confidantes, and it is said that their martial arts are quite high, and they are also ascenders like you and me. I can try. If I can get their help, then the Sword Domain can be compared with the four domains, and great things can be expected.” Du Gu Wu Shang pondered for a moment and said to Fengyun Wuji.
“I have met the head of the Nan Sheng Dou Ji Sword School, Zi Huang, on Nan Sheng Dou Ji Mountain. According to my observation, I’m afraid there is not much hope for this matter!” After speaking, he swept out of the cave like a great bird and disappeared at the entrance of the cave..
