Chapter 1122: Celestial Girl
Jian Wu Bei’s eyes twinkled. He stared at Lin Feng too, though, he looked confused.
Lin Feng raised his head and stared at the sword. It wasn’t dazzling, but it looked scary.
“Bzzz bzzz!” sharp Qi was rolling in waves when suddenly, the sword started shining. Its lights were so bright that the crowd couldn’t open their eyes anymore.
They all moved back very quickly. Lin Feng started following the crowd, but suddenly all the buried swords started moving and surrounded Lin Feng.
“What’s going on?” the crowd shivered. Lin Feng was even more surprised. One sword in particular was oppressing him. That sword had intent and it was acting like a person person.
The mud started shaking and the grave wailed, a dazzling beam of light emerged from the mud. The crowd was staring at it, that sword was shining brightly!
“Another sword!” There was another sword and it was buried deeply. It looked a sword a king would own. All the swords wailed even more.
“Psssewww!” the sword twinkled. A beam of light emerged from it and moved towards Lin Feng. In a flash, all the swords rose up at the same time and rotated around Lin Feng. The entire act was quite majestic.
The crowd looked at the mud. They could clearly sense those merciless energies and those swords could kill them easily. One of the swords had an even more powerful Qi than the others, that was the sword king.
Everybody was captivated. Why did that sword’s lights point at Lin Feng? Why did the swords surround Lin Feng? Lin Feng felt incredibly oppressed, so much so that he fell down on his bottom. He looked surprised as he released his own sword Qi to block their sword Qi.
The two protectors stared at him intensely and nodded.
“Sword spirits, please control yourself!” said the two old men bowing politely in front of the swords.
As if the swords had heard the two old men, they released sharp, proud and arrogant energies. Everybody was surprised, those incredible swords really were alive. They had their own personalities. However, in front of the protectors who were two incredible sword cultivators, they still looked proud and arrogant.
However, the two old men were still lowering their heads. The swords then calmed down, at the same time, the other sword, the sword king, also moved back into the ground.
All the swords were controlling themselves. Lin Feng breathed in deeply, he was sweating. He was in shock actually. He could still see all those swords in his memories, alive. A moment before, he had sensed what those swords had gone through in another era, Emperor Wu Tian Jian’s era.
The two old men calmly glanced at the crowd and slowly turned to Lin Feng. They smiled and said, “It seems like something connects you to our ancestors, little friend. The swords have been whistling a lot these days and this time, they reacted in a good way after seeing you.”
“I feel honored by your kind words.” replied Lin Feng politely. He was surprised and felt confused. Why had Jiange invited them? Had they said the truth? Had the swords been whistling that much recently? Why did he have the feeling that Jian Wu Bei wanted to see if they could make the swords whistle?
The old men smiled and said to everybody, “Do you know why the swords have been whistling so much recently?”
“The sword emperor’s swords have their own soul and they are reluctant to die. Therefore, they whistle. They want to continue fighting.” said Long Teng. Even though he wasn’t a sword cultivator, he knew how powerful they were.
“Those swords want to leave, why don’t people from Jiange take them out?” asked Xue Bi Yao. She felt skeptical.
“Those swords belonged to our ancestor. Could nobodies like us hold them and control them?” asked the old man smiling and shaking his head. He then added, “Thank you very much, little friends, for having come here. Wu Bei, please be kind to our guests!”
Everybody understood what the old man meant. They all took the initiative to leave as Jian Wu Bei led the way.
But at that moment, nobody understood why Jian Wu Bei had invited them in the first place. Could his sole motive have been to make them sense the sword energies?
When leaving the grave, Lin Feng sensed that someone was looking at him so he turned around and saw a white-haired, sick-looking old man guarding the entrance.
Lin Feng looked at Lin Ruo Tian and the others and said gratefully, “Brothers and sisters, thank you for what you did today.”
Lin Ruo Tian nodded and shook his head. He smiled and said, “We have to support each other because we’re all from Tiantai. We can have friends and enemies in Tiantai, but all in all, no matter what we think of each other, when something happens to a member of Tiantai outside our home, we have to help them. Our group hasn’t existed for too long so everybody will try to pick on us.”
Lin Feng nodded. Mu Chen hoped all the new imperial cultivation disciples would support each other like this.
“No matter what, I won’t let other people attack my fellow disciples.” said Lin Ruo Tian again.
“Indeed. Those people from Tian Long Divine Castle and the Celestial Land of Alchemists are really shameless.” said Meng Ba nodding.
“Alright, let’s find a place to stay for now.” said the purple-eyed young man as if he felt unsatisfied. Then, he left alone.
Nobody blamed him. Some people felt like they couldn’t be friends with everybody else, they just helped their fellow disciples because they had to.
Everybody gradually left, leaving Lin Ruo Tian and Meng Ba behind. Lin Ruo Tian wanted to become better friends with Lin Feng. Meng Ba admired Lin Feng for being able to climb up the nine groups of steps in Tiantai back when.
“Have you seen Qiu Yue Xin?” asked Lin Feng to his fellow disciples. Qiu Yue Xin wasn’t there.
“She travels alone. She went to another one of the three cities, but I’m not sure which one.” replied Lin Ruo Tian.
“Alright.” Lin Feng nodded. If they traveled with Qiu Yue Xin, they would travel faster because she had a lifeboat.
It soon became dark outside. There were many people inside Sword City and they were all heading to Fortune City. There were many lofty palaces everywhere there.
There was a girl in white clothes standing at the top of a palace. Her hair was black, which contrasted with her snowy white clothes. The moon was shining upon her, making her look like a celestial being.
“That’s the snow celestial girl, she’s so beautiful. If only I could be her boyfriend.” some people sighed while staring at that beautiful woman.
“If you went to the Celestial Land of Alchemists to ask for her hand, all the other young men would crush you.”
“Argh, she has a celestial body so an ordinary cultivator couldn’t be with her. I don’t think she wants to get married anyways. All she is interested in is cultivation.”
Many people were talking about her. At that moment, Lin Feng and his two friends saw Xue Bi Yao at the top of a lofty palace. Lin Ruo Tian smiled in a resplendent way and said, “That girl looks really good.”
“Indeed, even I feel something when I look at her.” said Meng Ba. Lin Feng said nothing, he just smiled wryly. Then, Xue Bi Yao slowly turned around and looked at Lin Feng.
