Dragon Slaying Sword of Unwavering Advance! Myriad Swords Return to One Slay Ghosts and Gods!
A faint smile rested on Ji Changfeng's face.
Confidence, pride, the high spirits of youth, the peerless elegance of an old friend—all those similar qualities were displayed vividly in him...
Cangsong Daoist knew.
This was the privilege of a genius.
This was the personal theme music of an unparalleled prodigy.
At that thought, Cangsong Daoist could not help but drift into a daze.
Senior Brother Wan...
He sighed inwardly.
But fortunately.
Senior Brother Wan was not dead.
Everything had a bright future ahead.
A smile appeared on Cangsong Daoist's face.
He glanced at the darkening sky and said gently to Ji Changfeng, "Nephew Changfeng, it is getting late. You should hurry back, or Fatty Tian will worry himself to death."
Ji Changfeng had spent the entire day running back and forth between Tongtian Peak and Dragon Head Peak. Altogether, he had been busy for five or six hours, and now it was already dark...
"Yes, Uncle Cangsong."
Ji Changfeng gave a slight bow. "Then this disciple shall return first."
As for Cangsong Daoist calling Tian Buyi "Fatty Tian"...
He pretended not to hear it...
"Go." Cangsong Daoist waved a hand.
Ji Changfeng turned and left the main hall of Dragon Head Peak.
As dusk had fallen, he did not encounter many Dragon Head Peak disciples on his way down the mountain.
Once he reached the foot of Dragon Head Peak, Ji Changfeng summoned the Ink Snow Divine Sword and flew toward Dazhu Peak on his sword.
By the time Ji Changfeng returned to Dazhu Peak,
it was already very late.
The moment he stepped into Shoujing Hall, he immediately drew the attention of everyone on Dazhu Peak.
When Tian Buyi and Su Ru saw Ji Changfeng return, they both let out a sigh of relief...
"Hey! Ji Changfeng!"
"Where did you go today? You made all of us wait for you this long."
Little Ling'er stepped forward with her hands on her hips, speaking indignantly.
She had been waiting for Ji Changfeng.
Her stomach was practically flat with hunger.
The dishes had been reheated so many times that she had lost count.
Ji Changfeng glanced at the food, which had already begun to cool, and immediately understood that Tian Buyi and the others had been waiting for him.
So Ji Changfeng ignored Tian Ling'er.
He bowed to Tian Buyi and Su Ru, who sat above him, and said, "Master, Mistress, I have kept you waiting."
"Mm..." Tian Buyi nodded reservedly.
Su Ru asked with considerable concern, "Changfeng, why did the Sect Master summon you to Tongtian Peak? How did you end up returning so late?"
Ji Changfeng pursed his lips. "Mistress, it was some matters concerning Caomiao Village..."
"Caomiao Village?!"
As soon as those words were spoken, everyone's expressions in Shoujing Hall changed.
Tian Ling'er had originally wanted to say something.
But upon hearing the words "Caomiao Village," she hesitated and closed her mouth.
Bang—
A sound came from the corner.
Zhang Xiaofan stood up blankly, staring straight at Ji Changfeng.
"Se-Seventh Senior Brother, did Sect Master Uncle say anything?"
Ji Changfeng silently shook his head. "There are still no leads."
It was not that Ji Changfeng deliberately wanted to hide it from Zhang Xiaofan. He simply did not know how to say it...
Could he tell him that the one who slaughtered his entire family was his master, Divine Monk Puzhi?
Sigh—
Better to let things take their course.
"Enough. Eat."
Tian Buyi spoke slowly.
At his words, everyone shut their mouths and silently picked up their bowls and chopsticks to eat.
It did not seem like much until they tasted it...
Eh? It was actually quite good!
Tian Buyi asked in surprise, "Old Six? Did you cook today?"
Du Bishu smiled awkwardly. "Master, today's... today's dinner was made by Little Junior Brother."
As soon as he said that,
everyone turned to look at Zhang Xiaofan in the corner.
"Ah?" Zhang Xiaofan had still been lost in thought when he suddenly felt so many eyes on him, and he immediately panicked.
"M-Master, does it not taste good?"
Zhang Xiaofan lowered his head and spoke softly.
Ji Changfeng smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "Little Fan, your cooking is much better than Senior Brother Du's."
"Really?"
"Of course. If you do not believe me, ask Master and Mistress."
Ji Changfeng smiled.
Zhang Xiaofan looked expectantly toward Tian Buyi and Su Ru at the head of the hall.
Tian Buyi silently continued eating without saying anything.
Su Ru, on the other hand, smiled at Zhang Xiaofan. "Little Fan's cooking really is much better than Bishu's."
At those words, a smile immediately appeared on Zhang Xiaofan's face.
He felt that he had been acknowledged!
"Hm?"
Just then, Tian Ling'er suddenly let out a puzzled sound.
Her gaze fixed on the two sword scabbards beside Ji Changfeng as she asked, "Ji Changfeng! Since when did you have two swords?"
At once, everyone's attention turned toward him.
Even Tian Buyi and Su Ru looked over.
Two swords?
Did Changfeng not only have the Ink Snow Divine Sword?
Su Ru was puzzled.
Looking closer, there really were two sword scabbards beside Ji Changfeng.
One of them was clearly the Ink Snow Divine Sword.
As for the other...
Why does it look so familiar!?
Su Ru was confused.
Tian Buyi's eyes narrowed slightly.
From where he sat, he could easily see the two swords beside Ji Changfeng, and...
he recognized their origins at a single glance.
There was no need to mention the Ink Snow Divine Sword.
But the other one?
That was...
"Dragon Slaying Sword?!!"
Tian Buyi suddenly cried out the sword's name.
"What!?" Su Ru's expression changed slightly.
Whoosh—
The two of them rose at once and instantly arrived beside Ji Changfeng.
Then...
Tian Buyi tremblingly picked up the Dragon Slaying Sword.
He gently drew it from its scabbard.
Whoosh!
A lively streak of sword light flashed.
The divine sword was azure blue, gleaming brilliantly, as clear as a pool of autumn water. It was one of the Nine Heavens Divine Weapons—
the Dragon Slaying Sword!
Dragon Slaying Sword of Unwavering Advance! Myriad Swords Return to One Slay Ghosts and Gods!
A trace of shock flashed through Su Ru's beautiful eyes. She looked at Ji Changfeng in astonishment and said tremblingly, "Changfeng, this..."
"Where did you get this Dragon Slaying Sword?"
Ji Changfeng answered honestly, "Master, Mistress, Uncle Cangsong gave me this sword. He said it suited me rather well."
Then he asked "curiously," "What? Is this sword very precious?"
Ji Changfeng felt rather helpless about the Dragon Slaying Sword.
Cangsong Daoist had insisted on stuffing it into his hands.
What else could he do?
It would not be easy to explain it to Tian Buyi and the others, so he might as well play dumb and let them ask Cangsong Daoist themselves.
Su Ru opened her mouth.
Precious? It was far more than merely precious!
The Dragon Slaying Sword... was Senior Brother Wan's personal sword.
Tian Buyi looked somewhat puzzled.
Cangsong had always guarded the Dragon Slaying Sword so closely that he would not let anyone touch it. Why had he given it away so readily this time?!
And...
he had given it to his disciple?
Something was wrong!
Very wrong!
Wait...
Just then, Tian Buyi suddenly recalled what Ji Changfeng had just said.
Uncle Cangsong said this sword suited me.
At that thought, Tian Buyi felt both enlightened and nostalgic...
So that was it.
Did Cangsong also think Old Seven resembled Senior Brother Wan?
Was that why he wanted to find a new inheritor for the Dragon Slaying Sword?
After realizing this, Tian Buyi still had some doubts, but he could not be bothered to dwell on them.
In any case, Dazhu Peak had not gotten the short end of the stick.
Hehe.
Tian Buyi slowly returned to his seat and said calmly, "Continue eating."
Though everyone was curious, under the pressure of their master's authority, they obediently picked up their bowls and chopsticks and continued eating.
"Buyi..." Su Ru looked at him in confusion.
Tian Buyi merely waved a hand calmly.
"Junior Sister, eat first..."
