Chapter 1057: Chapter 101: There Is No Path to Immortality in This World (63) — Penglai Treasury
The name of the sword: Green Lotus Sword Song
Suspended in mid-air, it gradually approached Qin Chuyu, the trembling sword blade and the soft hum, along with a streak of sky blue sword light, seemed to be a guide, causing Qin Chuyu’s almost dry mana to flow endlessly from her limbs.
Her injuries remained.
However, the Sword Intent obtained from the swordsmanship secretly taught by the sect resonated at this moment.
Qin Chuyu instinctively grasped the approaching Green Lotus Sword Song’s hilt.
Zing—!
The sound of the sword’s singing echoed from all directions.
Meanwhile, wisps of azure smoke suddenly rose around her… Gentle azure smoke flew around, with Qin Chuyu at the center, instantly spreading over a hundred meters.
Slice!
These azure smokes were like the sharpest blades, barely brushing past, slicing everything— not a straight severing, for the smoke was so soft and curved, like a thread.
In front of Tai Yinzi, a colorful light shield suddenly appeared, blocking the smoke outside— yet the collision between the smoke and the light shield now produced fierce hissing sounds.
Tai Yinzi shivered abruptly.
Gaia’s appearance changed unknowingly… from her back, thin colorful light wings spread open, thin as cicada wings, gently swaying like willow catkins.
Her magnificent dress began to shrink, adhering to her skin, transforming into a tight bat suit, and from her wrists, each projected a black blade, while her legs formed streamlined armor.
Purple pupils overlapped with countless rhombus.
[Danger detected…]
Gaia uttered lightly… Tai Yinzi’s heart trembled.
Even though he had only met Gaia twice before, Gaia’s current appearance seemed unusual—serious, for instance.
But… Green Lotus Sword Song, Master’s sword!
Qin Chuyu looked back at the Green Lotus Sword Song in her hand, a sense of jubilation mixed with sorrow surged into her Divine Soul from the moment she grasped the hilt.
She seemed to hear a man’s whisper at that moment.
Qin Chuyu bit her lip, swung the sword lightly, and the dispersed azure smoke now seemed to be drawn back into the sword blade.
Within a hundred-meter radius, huge stone stalactites were sliced into pieces and collapsed to the ground.
Gaia moved at this instant.
With a flap of light wings, Gaia wielded her swords, shooting out like a bullet… so swift that Qin Chuyu lost sight of Gaia in an instant.
Yet, the Green Lotus Sword Song in her hand transferred a peculiar force of attraction, directing Qin Chuyu’s arm to swing upward.
Bam—!
The blades on Gaia’s wrist clashed with the Green Lotus Sword Song… a visible ripple spread from the point of impact.
So heavy!
Qin Chuyu felt her tiger’s mouth go numb, nearly loosening her grip on the Green Lotus Sword Song… The impact force, even causing Qin Chuyu’s legs to bend slightly.
At this rate, even if the Green Lotus Sword Song could deal with Gaia, her own body wouldn’t withstand it!
Master’s sword appeared here… Then, where is the Master?
She couldn’t afford to waste time here. Qin Chuyu swiftly calculated in her mind.
“Gaia! Halt!”
Unexpectedly, Tai Yinzi issued such a mand to Gaia—after receiving the order, Gaia retreated into the air.
But her bat state hadn’t been lifted.
[Threat source detected, remendation for elimination]
“Stop with such nonsensical talk! When I tell you to stop, you stop!” Tai Yinzi barked angrily at Gaia.
Gaia’s purple pupils flashed again, locked onto the Green Lotus Sword Song, [Threat source detected, remendation for elimination, honorable second-class permission holder]
“That’s my Master’s sword! Dare to fight Grandpa Taoist, I will destroy you!!”
Obviously, the latter part of ‘destroy you’ was unlikely, but at this moment, Tai Yinzi’s face was gloomy, showing none of his gleeful expression.
Qin Chuyu furrowed her brow.
Gaia locked her gaze onto Tai Yinzi, but Tai Yinzi met it without backing down!
After a while, the light wings behind Gaia gradually dispersed, re-donning the magnificent-colored dress, and gently descending.
Tai Yinzi faced gloomily, approaching Qin Chuyu step by step.
Qin Chuyu watched Tai Yinzi, her expression plex. Tai Yinzi finally arrived in front of Qin Chuyu, suddenly knelt on the ground, bowing repeatedly.
“Rebellious disciple Tai Yinzi, meet Master’s sword!”
Thud, thud, thud, three kowtows.
…
Later, Tai Yinzi stood up, the somber expression still lingering on his face.
Qin Chuyu’s expression was plex, her lips moved, but she didn’t speak.
Tai Yinzi sighed, asked solemnly, “San Niang, why is Master’s sword here?”
“I don’t know.” Qin Chuyu sighed and shook her head, “It seems that the Green Lotus Sword Song was drawn by my body’s Green Lotus Sword Tome’s Sword Intent.”
Tai Yinzi pondered silently, watching Qin Chuyu with changing expressions, finally gritted his teeth, “Years ago, Master mysteriously disappeared, never returned… You expelled me afterward, though I was displeased, Master appointed you as Sect Leader, I had no plaints about it, but…”
Qin Chuyu scoffed, “With Master not around, you infiltrated the secret chamber to steal the secret tome privately, naturally, I would expel you.”
Tai Yinzi shook his head, “Let’s not discuss our grievances… But tell me, why did Master disappear all those years ago! You sealed me for five hundred years, and still won’t reveal the truth? Why did the Green Lotus Sword Song suddenly appear here! You dare say you don’t know?”
Qin Chuyu smiled bitterly, “I truly don’t know… Since arriving here, I constantly feel a trace of Master’s Sword Intent, yet I can’t find Master’s trace. As for the Green Lotus Sword Song, I don’t know either, it’s always been here.”
“The Green Lotus Sword Song is Master’s life-bound Magic Sword, how could he leave it behind!” Tai Yinzi’s expression changed, “Could it be that Master…”
Tai Yinzi recalled Gaia’s words… Gaia seemed to have discovered something unusual about the Green Lotus Sword Song—perhaps Gaia encountered the sword, possibly fought with it… with his Master!
Master might even have fought Gaia…
Tai Yinzi turned abruptly to Gaia, his face dark, “Gaia, tell me truthfully… Did you battle with the owner of this sword… Where is he?”
[Cannot explore the life traces of the individual within operational range, judgment result is deceased or has left]
“You indeed…” Tai Yinzi gritted his teeth, stared at Gaia filled with killing intent, “You better not let me know you harmed my Master, otherwise… I’ll relinquish this envoy position, even if I have to, I’ll destroy you, Grandpa Taoist!”
[Unable to explore life traces within the active area, judgment determined as deceased or departed]
“You idiot!” Tai Yinzi cursed angrily, “Tell me, why did you fight with my master back then!”
[Memory archive of this section is missing, unable to answer]
“Damn it!” Tai Yinzi gritted his teeth, “Something’s wrong with you, has your brain been damaged!”
Unexpectedly, Qin Chuyu suddenly asked, “Is this Penglai?”
Tai Yinzi looked at Qin Chuyu in surprise, and Qin Chuyu said, “My master, he said he found Penglai years ago, and he would return after a visit… But he never came back. That’s all I know.”
[This place is the Penglai Treasury]
Gaia spoke slowly at this moment, [All life forms entering the Penglai Treasury will automatically gain purchaser qualification and can purchase any item from the treasury]
Listening to Gaia, Qin Chuyu frowned, “This place is indeed similar to the club, only…”
She glanced at Tai Yinzi again, but Tai Yinzi said irritably, “Don’t ask me! I don’t know either! I’ve been this broken envoy for less than a year, and I don’t know much! But here, my connection with the boss is cut off, I don’t know if I’ve been restricted, or this place can block the boss’s perception of me! Didn’t you bee human from the shop back then? You should know more than I do!”
“This place is oddly inpatible with where you work, yet similar. It’s strange, I can’t quite say.” Qin Chuyu shook her head, “But since my master’s Green Lotus Sword Song appeared here, there might be other clues about my master. What… do you plan to do?”
“What else can I do, of course, it’s…”
A fast-descending red light suddenly interrupted Tai Yinzi’s words.
When the red light paused, a girl about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a baseball cap, appeared before everyone with a voluptuous foreign woman in her hands, about twenty years old.
Su Zijun and Jessica!
…
Upon landing, Su Zijun first saw the Green Lotus Sword Song in Qin Chuyu’s hand, then looked around. Her gaze quickly saw Tai Yinzi standing with Qin Chuyu.
“Black Soul?” Su Zijun frowned.
But her gaze didn’t linger much and began sweeping again… after sweeping over Gaia, Su Zijun paused briefly, her expression turning solemn.
Then, her gaze turned to Wang Hu.
At the moment, Wang Hu was tied up with colorful light bands, fallen on the ground.
Su Zijun opened her mouth in surprise, “Huang Baifu? Why are you here too? Oh right, you were also transferred… but you seem to be in a bad state.”
Wang Hu… Huang Baifu indeed seemed abnormal at this moment.
Lying on the ground, he hadn’t spoken for a long time; there was no sense of demonic power above him, but the Tiger King Pattern on his body had unknowingly turned golden, and at the same time, his vertical pupil had transformed into silver.
At this moment, Huang Baifu slowly floated up… still without demonic power sensed on him.
But the light band entangling him was now broken free… followed by a massive demonic power surging from Huang Baifu.
This demonic power, as if tangible, transformed into a huge demonic power pillar soaring skyward.
And within this light pillar, Huang Baifu’s pupils had pletely turned silver!
“White Tiger Divine Beast Transformation…”
Qin Chuyu now focused with some solemnity, “At such a level, it’s already advanced Divine Beast Transformation. I didn’t expect, in this era, there’s a White Tiger descendant capable of reaching such a level. It seems I indeed underestimated him before.”
Huang Baifu’s body, now surrounded by white demonic power like thunder, was moving step by step towards Gaia—his target was Gaia.
At this moment, Su Zijun, however, pulled Jessica with one hand and retreated a bit.
“Master? Do you know this… this guy?”
Only hearing Su Zijun calmly say, “He’s called Huang Baifu, a young lord of the White Tiger Clan of the Four Spirits Clan of China. Although called a young lord, he’s already led the entire clan early on. Speaking of which, he is the illegitimate son of the previous clan leader, but the White Tiger bloodline in him is very strong. However, his Divine Beast transformation is not so good, unstable, and causes him to lose his sanity.”
“Seems quite powerful?” Jessica clicked her tongue quietly, having seen more and more transcendents lately, but still unable to gain a direct understanding of this plex time.
Su Zijun didn’t speak, just pulled Jessica back a little more, “The situation is unclear; we don’t know the origin of these guys, better to wait and see. Huang Baifu’s loss of control happened twice, once he crippled his own father, and once he beat the entire Azure Dragon Clan so they couldn’t lift their heads, the then-current Azure Dragon Clan leader had to step down in disgrace.”
Su Zijun shrugged and added, “Now that old lady isn’t here, to stop him we probably have to wait until he stops himself, I don’t like doing thankless tasks.”
Truly the master’s style… Jessica sighed but still hid well behind Su Zijun. In this battle, she wasn’t even considered a shrimp?
…
…
Wisps of light emerged from the bodies of the living dead in the burial chamber.
They scattered in the chamber, illuminating the surroundings.
Luo Qiu extended his hand, a tiny glimmer fell into his palm and, like melting snow, disappeared.
Luo Qiu smiled gently.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded from behind.
With hands folded in front, head slightly bowed, walked the club’s maid, and following behind You Ye was the curious Da Zhe.
“Master.”
“Boss!”
Luo Qiu smiled slightly, looking at Da Zhe, “You seem in good spirits.”
Da Zhe laughed merrily, then hung his head and said, “As long as I’m not thrown back to that hellish place, I’ll always be in good spirits!”
Luo Qiu chuckled softly.
“The master is in a good mood.” You Ye said softly at this time, then walked in front of Luo Qiu, pulling out a handkerchief to carefully wipe Luo Qiu’s palm.
There seemed to be some dust due to earlier contact with the Terracotta Warrior’s ceramic layer.
“I heard many interesting stories.”
Luo Qiu said, lifting his gaze to the specks of glow in the burial chamber, and softly stated, “Before dispersing, the last bit of light, though faint, is very tenacious.”
And those living dead, too, finally turned to dust, each falling down… purification.
Only hearing You Ye softly say, “The master’s time spent was too much.”
“It’s alright; it doesn’t count as consumption.” Luo Qiu gently replied, “I just wanted you to see this moment. Isn’t it beautiful?”
Patches of glow rose, the scene before their eyes resembling a summer riverside firefly gathering place, so splendid it made one unconsciously quiet, without letting a single sound surface here.
…
Da Zhe sighed… feeling he should return to the crevice to fight little monsters, this dog food would be fatal to consume.
…
When the last bit of glow faded away in Luo Qiu’s palm, Luo Qiu finally said, “Let’s go.”
