Chapter 811 - 258: Heroine Yan: Your Sword Dao Has Not Improved for a Long Time
Wang Mu looked at the little Sword Spirit in front of him.
It was precisely the Qingshuang Sword Spirit.
After not seeing her for a long time, the Qingshuang Sword Spirit looked more and more like Heroine Yan. Her eyes were still as pure as ever, only now there was a few more streaks of sword light in them, bursting out of her body as if about to cut down the person in front of her.
Wang Mu moved his lips and said earnestly:
"Qingshuang, did your master really say that?"
The Little Sword Spirit thought for a bit, then nodded.
"Then there’s a problem." Wang Mu said, "Look, if I don’t leave, how am I supposed to bring that Dongfang Mu to the Sword Sect?"
"Don’t you think so?"
"First, I have to leave the Sword Sect."
"Only then can I bring Dongfang Mu over, right?"
The Little Sword Spirit was stunned, seriously pondered for a long while, and felt that what Wang Mu said was very reasonable. She looked utterly confused, "Is it like that?"
"Of course it is, so you have to let me leave first." Wang Mu nodded with certainty.
"Alright then." The Qingshuang Sword Spirit nodded. "But you have to bring Dongfang Mu back, okay? Otherwise my master will blame me."
"Didn’t your master already come out of seclusion?" Wang Mu asked. "Why doesn’t she come herself?"
"Although my master has come out of seclusion, she’s currently in the middle of comprehending the Dao." The Qingshuang Sword Spirit’s smile bloomed, seeming very happy. "Master said she has to prepare for the future. As long as she fully comprehends the Sword Dao she understood during that Heavenly Tribulation back then, within the Nine Provinces, she can cut whoever she wants."
"..." Wang Mu.
"Then that Sword Dao must be pretty powerful, huh?" Wang Mu probed.
"Of course, and it’s all thanks to you." The Qingshuang Sword Spirit giggled twice. "Do you want to meet my master?"
"Wouldn’t that disturb her comprehension of the Dao?"
"I feel that if you go see Master, Master might fully comprehend it even faster." The Qingshuang Sword Spirit said.
"Then you take me to her."
"Alright, come with me."
The Qingshuang Sword Spirit flew into that azure Divine Sword, then in one stroke slashed through the void.
A strong suction force directly dragged Wang Mu into it.
A moment later, Wang Mu only felt his soul have a brief bout of dizziness, then he recovered as if nothing had happened.
When he opened his eyes again, what entered his sight was a rocky, jagged cliff, outside of which was a sea of mist.
"This isn’t an Illusion, it’s an independently opened small cave abode..."
The methods of an Ascension Expert truly were beyond what he had imagined. This should be the independent cave abode Heroine Yan had opened up during this period to recuperate and comprehend the Dao.
Looking again, he felt it was a bit familiar, somewhat similar to the back mountain of the Yunxia Sword Sect in the game.
Up ahead, by the cliff edge, there was a familiar figure.
That moon-white long dress rippled lightly in the wind, the long hair behind her fluttering like willow branches, involuntarily making Wang Mu recall that scene of black hair scattered like a waterfall...
"Didn’t I tell you to bring Dongfang Mu?"
Her cool voice carried a few strands of sharp Sword Intent.
Wang Mu thought inwardly that she really was comprehending the Dao.
Even in her words there was Sword Intent that made his own mind stir.
He actually hadn’t practiced the sword for a long time; his Sword Heart had accumulated a bit of dust.
Sword Dao, if you don’t practice it, it grows rusty.
For a while before this, he had been cultivating the Infinite Demon Body, or else busy rushing around. Where would he find time to practice the sword?
Later on, he even cultivated a Heavenly Demon Secret Technique, to the point that his body was now far from ordinary.
Especially after his Life Span recovered. He didn’t know whether it was due to cultivating a Heavenly Demon Secret Technique, or because he’d obtained a Heavenly Demon Bloodline, but Wang Mu’s perception of Karma had become extremely clear.
At this moment, looking at Heroine Yan, besides seeing her former bearing, he could also see a mass of surging, ferocious flames, blazing on her body.
That was Karma.
The Karma of an Ascension Expert who had lived for a thousand years.
Wang Mu was stunned.
Heavenly Demons feed on Karma. Having obtained the Heavenly Demon Bloodline that Piao Miaoxu passed on to him, and on top of that cultivating the Heavenly Demon Secret Technique Heavenly Control Scripture, he naturally could also sense a bit of the Karma in the Cultivation World.
The Karma on Heroine Yan’s body was probably mostly from Crossing Heavenly Tribulation and slaying Immortal Sects.
She didn’t ascend, yet she cut down Immortal Sects of the Upper Realm. This Karma was probably not light.
Wang Mu suspected whether this Heroine Yan could even ascend.
Was she not afraid of being remembered by the Upper Realm?
But that wasn’t important. What was important was that from this rolling Karma, Wang Mu also sensed a bit of overwhelming killing intent.
This bit of killing intent was also an important component of her Karma...
"Dongfang Mu’s not coming?" Wang Mu said.
"Where is he? Why don’t I see him?" Heroine Yan turned around, revealing those eyes that were cool yet carried a hint of allure.
"Unless you mean yourself?"
Heroine Yan narrowed her long, slender eyes. "Then why are you alone? All those Cultivators you’ve entangled, why is not a single one by your side? And that Dragon Palace Third Princess you’re betrothed to, your fiancée Taoist couple—why didn’t you bring her for me to meet?"
From the tone, Wang Mu immediately understood.
"You actually know that wasn’t me." Wang Mu walked over and said, "Everything Dongfang Mu has done these days was not my doing."
"Not you?" Heroine Yan said. "How is it not you? A thousand years ago, you gathered a whole bunch of young talents around you. The Medical Immortal from Medicine Valley, the Holy Daughter of an Ancient Clan, the Palace Master of the Demon Palace. A thousand years later, you gather another bunch of people—wasn’t that your doing?"
"Even that black bear you subdued back then—the Three Saints of Beast King Mountain all acknowledged it. How can you say it wasn’t you?"
"Of course it wasn’t me!" Wang Mu said.
So Wang Mu briefly recounted the course of events.
"You’re saying your previous actions were all Piao Miaoxu impersonating you?" Heroine Yan’s lips curled into a cold arc. "Then why don’t you say that even what happened a thousand years ago wasn’t you?"
"..."
Heroine Yan flicked her sleeve and turned around. "After you sucked... sucked away that Demoness’s Emotion Poison back then, where did you go? Tell me the details, from the very beginning."
