Late at night, Chu Ge’s villa was brightly lit.
"We still haven’t heard from them. Could it be they’re not planning to make a move on the Sword Soul?"
Long Ang looked bewildered and asked.
They had guarded the villa all day, just waiting for Gao Weijie’s team to co and seize the Sword Soul, but after waiting half a day, no one appeared.
Chu Ge gently shook his head, "The importance of the Sword Soul to the Demon Sword is sothing we all understand well. I’m sure Gao Weijie knows it too, but they haven’t taken action yet. I think they must be waiting for the right opportunity."
"Or maybe he’s decided to withdraw, knowing it’s too difficult."
Lin Dong slapped his thigh and said, "Look, whenever he’s co before, hasn’t he always been beaten and fleeing? I think he’s probably scared."
"These are just our speculations and can’t be relied upon. Let’s all endure a bit and be careful."
Chu Ge sighed lightly. He looked around but didn’t see Jian Chunqiu, and couldn’t help but ask: "Where’s Uncle Jian? Has he not returned yet?"
"No."
"Do you need him for sothing?"
Lin Dong asked curiously. Every ti Chu Ge sought Jian Chunqiu, sothing significant was happening, so Lin Dong was particularly curious about what Chu Ge needed Jian Chunqiu for this ti.
"I want to know who Zun Di truly is."
Chu Ge’s eyes deepened, and his intuition told him that Zun Di was not soone to be trifled with. If allowed to grow, he would surely beco a formidable opponent in the future.
Lin Dong scratched his head in confusion. They didn’t know what had happened between the Old Master and Yuwen Kangshi when they were alone.
Thus, they had no idea about Zun Di’s existence.
"Who is Zun Di? What is Zun Di?"
Lin Dong and Lin Zhao looked at Chu Ge in curiosity.
Chu Ge gently shook his head, "I’m not really sure myself. Forget it, let’s drop the topic and rest. Ti is up anyway, let’s all get so sleep."
With that said, Chu Ge stood up and returned to his room.
Even with the night so profound, he felt sleepless.
A figure suddenly flashed before his eyes, and Chu Ge said wryly: "Uncle Jian, you’ve seed quite busy lately."
Jian Chunqiu patted the mist off his clothes as he entered the room, carrying a chill with him, "Busy? Not really, but I’ve noticed so stirrings over in Tushan again."
"Stirrings over in Tushan again?"
Chu Ge looked at him in confusion, "Wasn’t the Demon Sword taken away? What else is in Tushan?"
"The Demon Sword was taken, but beneath Tushan, there’s still a Spirit Vein. Can’t we ignore it? Especially since the Spirit Vein was contaminated by the Demon Sword, and soone might accidentally absorb it and lose their mind."
Thus, daily, they rushed to manage these affairs.
"By the way, how did it go with capturing Lian Chengyu and his group from the Yuwen Family?"
"Lian Chengyu is dead."
Chu Ge replied. He thought of sothing and asked Jian Chunqiu: "Uncle Jian, do you know Zun Di?"
"Who?"
Jian Chunqiu paused, reflexively asking, "Who did you ntion just now?"
"Zun Di."
"Zun Di? How do you know that na?"
Jian Chunqiu looked at him in confusion.
Chu Ge told Jian Chunqiu about Zun Di and the dealings with the Yuwen Family, causing Jian Chunqiu’s expression to grow serious.
With one hand behind his back and the other rubbing his chin, he paced back and forth in the bedroom.
The way Chu Ge saw it, it was clear Jian Chunqiu knew of Zun Di’s existence, so he quickly spoke out: "Who exactly is Zun Di? Now the Yin Summoning Talisman is in their hands, and I feel sothing major is about to happen!"
"Actually, Zun Di isn’t his real na. His surna was Wang, called Wang Zun."
Jian Chunqiu took a deep breath, his gaze fixed ahead, "Wang Zun started as just an ordinary person. He was the son of a typical household in the Man Yue Clan and had a defect; he lost sight in one eye from a hunting accident as a child, becoming one-eyed.
Perhaps due to his becoming one-eyed, the village girls looked down on him, gradually breeding inferiority and loneliness into his personality."
Chu Ge listened intently. When he heard Man Yue Clan, he froze, recalling the Bearded Man who sought him at the Gambling Stone Field to treat the Great Elder’s ailnt—they hailed from the Man Yue Clan.
"Later, though what happened to him, we don’t know, he suddenly transford from an average person into a martial arts master. During Man Yue Clan’s frequent wartis, Wang Zun beca an ethnic war hero known for his valor."
Chu Ge was even more puzzled. According to Jian Chunqiu, he should’ve been a revered hero, so how could he now take such a form and reside in soone else’s body?
Jian Chunqiu sighed deeply, explaining: "It was due to an incident—a sche to dissolve the Man Yue Clan—Wang Zun was betrayed by a trusted person, resulting in his fall from the cliff. Everyone thought he was dead but in fact, he survived. Three years later, he erged as Zun Di, backed by a dark force still mysterious to this day."
"And then?"
"After erging as Zun Di, he conducted ruthless slaughter, becoming notorious as a rciless killer causing outrage in the world of martial arts. After nurous sieges against him, he was finally defeated in a fierce battle!"
Jian Chunqiu sighed deeply, "I was there back then as well. Confronting Zun Di required much more effort than you can imagine. That year, he was heavily defeated, his physical body destroyed, yet his Primordial Spirit still lingers in this world."
"He’s been residing in Yuwen Kangshi’s body, controlling Yuwen Kangshi to achieve his ambitions. He surely has a motive."
"Zun Di still alive is inherently dangerous, and if he exposes his dark backing, it would surely destabilize the world of martial arts, resulting in consequences more tragic than those a century ago."
Jian Chunqiu looked at Chu Ge, "Tomorrow I’ll rally our allies and contact other Sects—Zun Di won’t hide forever."
Chu Ge nodded, "We don’t know what their next move is yet, but I’m certain Gao Weijie will co for the Sword Soul first."
ntioning the Sword Soul, Jian Chunqiu glanced at Ming Chong, sleeping peacefully by the bed. Recently, Ming Chong has seed unwell, constantly eating and sleeping, though checks showed her health was fine.
Jian Chunqiu sighed helplessly, saying, "Keeping Ming Chong here will always be a disaster."
