The shattered Dao Landscape, the broken path of the Sword Dao, the place where the Sword Venerable had once seen a ghost.
But the ghost that had destroyed the Sword Venerable's Dao heart was nowhere to be seen. There was only a single black character.
Fan.
Everyone was startled by the sight.
"Is that... the character 'Fan'?"
Dugu Yuqing was slightly startled, but then he shook his head and said,
"No. It isn't the character 'Fan.' It only looks like it... The writer meant to write the character 'Fan,' but in the end, didn't truly manage it!"
The character "Fan" was hideously written, twisted and crooked, its structure scattered. Looking closely, one could even feel that it hadn't fully formed the character at all, but was merely a few strokes awkwardly pieced together.
From the distorted marks, it was easy to tell that the writer had been unable to write the character "Fan" and had forcibly used great magical power to urge black blood into forming a symbol resembling it!
"Fan... Before the ancient ages, who tried to write our master's name?"
Dugu Yuqing murmured. He was sure that was what had happened!
"Dead dog, wasn't Master's name impossible to write? The words of all the heavens throughout the ages cannot bear it!"
Wu Dade looked at the big black dog with a puzzled expression.
When Xuanwu had found the letter written in the secret script of the Xuanwu, the peach tree in the Small Courtyard had once said:
"The words of all the heavens throughout the ages cannot touch the Master."
The big black dog gave Wu Dade a scornful look and said,
"I told you to read more, you ignorant pet. Didn't you see? Those strokes never truly formed that character!"
As it spoke, its expression grew grave
