The man chuckled softly, not speaking imdiately, but gently plucking the strings of the zither in front of him, causing a lodious sound to resound around.
"Then I wish you success!"
"I will definitely succeed!" the king said confidently.
"King, the higher you stand, the harder you fall, rember my words!" the man said blandly. "For the waves of the Yangtze River push against each other, and you will surely be stranded on the sands!"
"It depends on what kind of waves they are!"
"If it’s that little fellow you just ntioned, you’ll nip it in the bud, won’t you?"
"Exactly!"
The man smiled again, "Sotis, the more you want to nip soone in the bud, the harder it is for them to die. Additionally, the more you wish to stifle soone, the faster they grow at a terrifying speed!"
"The Evil Lord back then was a living example!"
"The Evil Lord is in the past!" The king said heavily, "Such a person is rare to co by in a hundred years, I don’t believe another could arise!"
"Nothing is absolute," the man said leisurely. "Besides, don’t be too arrogant, for the road ahead is long. It’s hard to say who will live and who will die."
"Leave a thread; perhaps you have a chance of survival."
"What, have you changed professions to fortune-telling now?"
"If I had known fortune-telling, would I end up in this situation?"
The king chuckled softly, "Indeed, if you knew fortune-telling, you wouldn’t have been trapped here by ."
"Alright, you can leave now; I want to be alone for a while!"
"By the way, Ye Xunhuan’s surna is Ye, and your surna is Ye too, does it give you a sense of closeness?"
"Yes, very close!" The man said seriously, "I’m even praying for him to defeat you!"
"That way, regardless of who he is, at least he has the surna Ye; perhaps we were family five hundred years ago!"
"I hope your dream cos true."
With that, the king got up and left, and at the mont he stood up to leave, the man’s hands were once again placed on the strings, beginning to gently pluck them.
The elegant and lodious string music echoed throughout the empty valley, while birds began to appear in the sky, flying in mid-air.
But in the next mont, the birds in the sky began arranging themselves to form a character.
That character was ’King’!
Then, the birds changed and turned directly into ’Leave’!
If the king were to witness this bizarre scene in the sky, he would surely be in for a shock.
This old thing’s musical mastery is growing deeper and deeper; perhaps he could kill with sound from the strings!
Unfortunately, the king did not notice the changes in the sky and left the empty valley directly, as if he had never appeared.
At this mont, a man in a cyan robe, wearing a mask with a ferocious face, suddenly floated over from sowhere, standing entirely on a flower in a sea of blossoms, holding a jade flute!
"Don’t appear here again; go to where you ca from!" the man said while playing the zither. "The king may have grown suspicious."
"In the future, don’t be so active!"
"He doesn’t have the ti to mind , and everything now is just speculation!" the masked man said softly, "By the ti he truly discovers, it’ll be too late for everything!"
"And I won’t give him a chance to discover ; besides, he’s very busy now, too busy to mind other things!"
"Is that so?"
"Of course!" The masked man said resolutely, "There’s a fellow in the shadows; I haven’t figured out who it is yet, but it’s certain that he has a significant background!"
"He’s always been working behind the scenes; I suspect he has so grand sche, maybe wanting to take the king’s place!"
"These things are not for to worry about or handle!" the man said blandly, "You should leave now; don’t co here again!"
"Since you’re not welco here, I’ll leave, take care of yourself!"
With those words, the man vanished like a specter, disappearing into the air, as if he had never appeared!
"Is twenty or so years of peace finally going to be completely shattered?"
The man murmured to himself as he stared at the place where the masked man disappeared.
...
anwhile, in a remote yet tranquil forest in the capital, Ye Xunhuan seed to have entered a realm of solitude, standing there without the slightest fluctuation of energy, visible but untraceable, like his presence was intangible.
Everything appeared eerily bizarre to the extre!
The next mont, Ye Xunhuan suddenly stretched his arms, and an extraordinary light imdiately shot from his hollow eyes, and he moved!
"Swish!"
With a single leap, Ye Xunhuan jumped directly into the air, while his right hand swiftly swung out!
"Bang!"
The fierce gust of his palm struck heavily against a nearby tree, causing it to crash down with a boom!
Imdiately, Ye Xunhuan’s right hand shook, gripping the three-foot green peak swiftly, then slicing down at once!
"Boom..."
As the sword fell, a muffled sound echoed, and the ground seed to have been laid with explosives, suddenly bursting open while dust flew up.
Then Ye Xunhuan descended from mid-air, while the sword in his hand swiftly swung out again.
This mont, the sword in Ye Xunhuan’s hand seed to be given life, gracefully wielded, while his whole figure beca enigmatic.
In an instant, countless afterimages whistled through the forest, with flashes of cold light speeding through the air like lightning.
At this mont, the sword in Ye Xunhuan’s hand had reached an eerie extre, unfathomable, with no one knowing where a swing would lead or where another one would erge.
If Longshou were here, witnessing the scene would certainly leave him deeply shocked.
Because Ye Xunhuan’s swordsmanship at this mont beca incredibly brilliant, or rather, untraceable, as if slashing at will!
Yet precisely because of this wilful slashing, it beca completely indefensible.
anwhile, Ye Xunhuan’s speed was terrifying to the extre.
Bear in mind, Ye Xunhuan previously was almost like a cripple, but now it’s as if he’s been reborn, regaining his strength entirely and seemingly skyrocketing in power.
If Longshou knew this, how could he not be astonished, given how short a ti it’s been!
Currently, Ye Xunhuan has wholly entered a selfless, forgetful realm, as if the whole world only has him left.
He’s completely imrsed in his own world, or rather, he’s entered a profound, mysterious realm!
