Chapter 285: Eastern Flower Sword Sect
Qin Weiyu carried Nianyou and elegantly sat on top of a stone lion. She looked down at the quiet Nianyou, her eyes full of love, as if she was caring for her own daughter. Qin Weiyu probably would never have thought she would also have a time that she would exude motherly affection.
Travelers along the way looked at her, thinking to themselves that they would have no regrets in their lives if they were able to wed a beauty like her.
"How long are you going to look?" The woman retracted her quiet contemplation and lifted her head.
A man had been in the middle of smiling at her. He was within reach of her, and she could even feel his breathing.
"Weiyu, you're truly beautiful like this." Chen Mo sincerely said.
"Oh, do you love me?" Qin Weiyu gave him a heedless glance.
"Did you say ‘love me' or ‘fuck me'…" In terms of shamelessness, Chen Mo felt he still held quite the advantage.
"…"
The Eastern Sea was the largest ocean in the Tail Fire Star Field, vast and endless. In the Star Field Records, apparently, no one had ever reached the end of the Eastern Sea. On such an extensive ocean, there were countless and widespread archipelagos. Some of the island chains established themselves as countries and became island nations.
The Eastern Flower Sword Sect was on one of these island chains.
Traversing the blue ocean, they caught sight of a gigantic, tortoise-shaped island in front of them. It was quite enormous in area, covered by a mountain range. With its oddly shaped ridges, the green peaks were like swords.
Western Turtle Island, Dragon Sword Peak!
Chen Mo looked at the map. This should be the place. Chen Mo used the Deva Eyes to take a gander. Western Turtle Island entered his vision, and amidst the dense forests, he spotted several magnificent palaces and pavilions with many figures moving around on riding swords.
The spiritual energy on the seas was mostly deficient. However, the Western Turtle Island's Dragon Sword Peak was full of spiritual energy. It was quite the paradise. No wonder the Eastern Flower Sword Sect would establish the school here.
"Let's go."
Chen Mo was unwilling to delay, and he guided the Flying Chariot in.
When he drew near Dragon Sword Peak, all of a sudden, there was oppressive sword qi. Two rays of blue sword-light shot out from the peak and descended before them.
"Who goes there, state your name."
A man and woman each flew on riding swords, possessing Fifth Layer Lesser Thunder Tribulation strength.
"I seek Daoist Eastern Flower!" Chen Mo released his magic energy. His peak First Layer Greater Thunder Tribulation God Transformation Realm immediately made the two sword cultivators' expressions change.
In Star World, strength was the best travel pass!
"We wonder what Senior's monastic name is. The headmaster is currently in seclusion." The man and woman apologized.
"Tell him that I am the Northern Branch's Shi Jin, and that I have something to ask of him!" Chen MO used the Deva Eyes, covering the surrounding dozens of li around them with his might. The only Lesser Thunder Tribulation cultivators basically were unable to resist, and the two's complexions became pale.
"Senior, please wait. I shall go relay this." The male cultivator submissively said.
Chen Mo did not utter a word.
The male cultivator flew towards Dragon Sword Peak on his riding sword.
Not long after, he returned: "Fellow Shi Jin, the headmaster invites you two in."
They followed him into Dragon Sword Peak, landing in front of a gorgeous palace of carved railings and jade bricks. This palace had a board hung on each side. The left read "Blue Seas, Azure Spirit, appear" while the right read "Sun and moon birth flowery light!" The words on these boards were the very origin of the Eastern Flower Sword Sect.
Chen Mo stepped into the hall. The interior construction was also quite magnificent, and after walking over a crystal bridge spanning a heavenly moat, they arrived at the "Azure Sea Pavilion."
Four Great Law Protectors were outside the Azure Sea Pavilion. Their cultivations were impressive, however, when Chen Mo stepped over the ground, the Black Turtle's aura was unmistakably revealed, making everyone feel crushing pressure. They all looked at each other, their expressions very solemn.
When they entered the Azure Sea Pavilion, they saw a cleanshaven old man wearing a blue robe sitting on the head seat.
"Your Distinguished Self is truly the Northern Branch's Fellow Shi Jin?" Daoist Eastern Flower was slightly surprised to hear the report of the disciple. In the Four Sects Wiping Sword, that Shi Jin, who was renowned in the Jianghu, forged a divine weapon, the "Serene Snow Falling Ink," for Northern Darkness Has Snow was a legend always discussed enthusiastically. However, this Shi Jin himself was mysterious as a person. Very few had conversed with him, and each of the Great Sects were unable to receive an audience with him.
Hearing that he had come, Daoist Eastern Flower hurried out of seclusion to greet his guest in the Azure Sea Pavilion.
Chen Mo took out the plaque verifying his identity, and Daoist Eastern Flower was convinced. This old man's eyes were strange, "Fellow did not seem to have such high cultivation during the Four Sects Wiping Sword. This truly is unimaginable."
God Transformation peak. Was this guy a monster? His cultivation progress was so swift. "Your Servant wonder what matter brings you to the Eastern Flower Sword Sect?"
"I have a little sister who suffers from an illness. I would like to request the Daoist help examine her." Chen Mo said.
Daoist Eastern Flower cast a glance at the girl held in Qin Weiyu's arms. So she's a little sister, I thought she was his daughter. "Your Servant is somewhat skilled with sword arts, but has no grasp whatsoever of medical arts. Has Fellow sought out the wrong help?"
"No, in the Tail Fire Star Field, only your Eastern Flower Sword Sect can do this." Chen Mo smiled.
"Hm?"
"My little sister's name is Nianyou. I wonder if Daoist has any recollection?" Chen Mo asked.
"Nianyou?" Daoist Eastern Flower shook his head: "This Daoist has not heard of her."
"Is that so? Long ago when my wife and I were on the road to Little Jade City, we encountered Nianyou, who had been left alone. When we rescued her, two disciples of your sword sect tried to kill Your Servant after the fact. Right, there was a certain Shao Shi-whatever. Perhaps Daoist remembers a disciple's name better?" Chen Mo was forceful.
"Shao Shifeng??!!"
Daoist Eastern Flower's pupils shrunk, and the he remembered.
Back then, he obtained a revelation from the Secret Dragon Pool: an unknown Star Name had been born in the Western Regions of the Tail Fire Star Field. So as to avoid alerting others, he first dispatched a group of three Three Flowers Gathered Overhead disciples to investigate the Western Regions. Later, he obtained a secret message confirming that indeed there was a Star Maiden born in the gestation phase, and that they were in the process of bringing her back to the sword sect.
A Star General raised to be the core of a sect was the most common of practices among the Inner Star Field's sects. It could be even said that a sect's rise and fall were in the hands of a Star General. Just as the Great Chong Dynasty also had Huan Wen standing guard, if the Eastern Flower Sword Sect had their own Star General to stand guard, then not only would the day they surpass the Northern Darkness Sword Sect be around the corner, even the Great Chong Dynasty would need to fear them in the future.
Daoist Eastern Flower had promptly dispatched two ancestors to go provide support and bestow gifts upon Shao Shifeng and the other disciples.
He never imagined that, in the end, Shao Shifeng and the disciples would all be found dead. This incident was a heavy blow to Daoist Eastern Flower. Due to the matter about the Star General being so serious, the Eastern Flower Sword Sect secretly investigated this incident, but in the end, left it unsettled.
But he never imagined that today, that Star General would surprisingly appear right in front of him.
"So it was you!" The old man seethed in anger. He raised his hand, and blue sword-qi slashed at Chen Mo.
Chen Mo's punch thundered, scattering the sword-qi.
Daoist Eastern Flower was overwhelmed with shock. This God Transformation cultivator surprisingly was able to break his Fate Realization Realm sword-qi just by using his fist. The next second, Daoist Eastern Flower's Divine Intent moved.
With a roar, the blue sword-light flew forth like a dragon. A dozen sword-lights became dragons that soared above the hall, following Daoist Eastern Flower's thoughts.
It unleashed a resplendent sword rainbow.
The Flying Swords contained the mystery of the Eastern Flower Sword Sect's swordsmanship, its endless changes, and combined with his formidable magic energy, it was surprisingly full of vast power.
"Dragon Roar For Seas Sword Array!" Daoist Eastern Flower forgot Chen Mo's identity in his fury. He only thought of destroying Chen Mo and retrieving Nianyou.
The sword-light became vast and ocean-like, covering the hall. Several dozen Flying Swords became dragons shuttling back and forth through the ocean, appearing and disappearing randomly. Needless to say, as one of the Great Chong Dynasty's Four Great Sword Sects, the Eastern Flower Sword Sect had its own distinctive path.
If it was before, perhaps Chen Mo would have been afraid.
But after attaining proficiency with the Black Turtle and even killing a Human Sovereign, he was practically unmatched in the Great Chong Dynasty aside from its Star General. Chen Mo exercised his Star Energy, and his body became as lofty as the Black Turtle. The enormous sword-qi was surprisingly unable to penetrate at all.
Daoist Eastern Flower turned pale with fright.
Space flashed, and seven beautiful magpie Flying Daggers hovered right in front of his eyes. The Flying Daggers' cold edges were domineering. He noticed that the Flying Daggers' user was the woman, whose forehead shimmered with a Star Crest, and Star Energy gracefully leapt over her fingertips.
Daoist Eastern Flower immediately fell paralyzed onto his seat.
Star General!!
"Daoist, calm down. You'd better answer my question first." Chen Mo stepped forward and grabbed him by his collar, ruthlessly pulling the Eastern Flower Sword Sect's headmaster up.
How could Daoist Eastern Flower be willing to suffer this humiliation. He used all his strength but was unable to free himself from Chen Mo's grasp. This man's strength was simply at an outrageous level.
"Just who are you?' Daoist Eastern Flower asked in shock.
"Just what is Nianyou's Star Name, how did you find out about her whereabouts." Chen Mo's tone was ice-cold, the oppressive feeling of the Black Turtle firmly squeezing the old man's chest, seeming like an enormous mountain. Even cultivation on the level of Fate Realization Realm was unable to bear it.
"I will talk." Daoist Eastern Flower felt terrified and did not dare hide anymore, narrating everything.
"Secret Dragon Pool?"
"I heard that the Inner Star Fields have many treasures that are indeed capable of learning about the birth of a Star Name, but the Outer Star Fields actually have this sort of thing, too?" Qin Weiyu furrowed her brow.
"Take us there." It seemed they could only find out what this Secret Dragon Pool was about first. This Daoist Eastern Flower perhaps did not know just what Nianyou's Star Name was after all.
"Yes." Daoist Eastern Flower nodded his head in agreement. In his mind, he planned to activate the sect-protecting formation to retrieve the Star General the moment they left the Azure Sea Pavilion.
Chen Mo saw through his thoughts. All of a sudden, he seized Daoist Eastern Flower's throat, forcing the old man to open his mouth, and then Chen Mo shoved a centipede in.
"This is a Gu Art I learned from Nan Jiang. If you dare pull any tricks, someone will have to clean up your corpse." Chen Mo sneered.
Daoist Eastern Flower's expression changed. He felt a force settle deep in his dantian, heavy as a thousand catties, and he was unable to dispel it using his magic energy. Gu poison, the terrifying thing that made the Great Ancestor Emperor lose his life back then. The color drained from Daoist Eastern Flower's face. "I have no grievances with Your Distinguished Self. Since Nianyou is Your Distinguished Self's little sister, This Sect would not dare dream of touching her. Please, Your Distinguished Self, grant us leniency. From now on, the Sword Sect will certainly work like a horse for Your Distinguished Self."
"Enough of the pleasant words. I want to see the Secret Dragon Pool right now, how did you know about Nianyou's Star Name." Chen Mo impatiently said.
"Yes, yes." This was the first time that Daoist Eastern Flower, a grand Fate Realization Realm cultivator, ever felt so humble.
The four Great Law Protectors outside the Azure Sea Pavilion sensed an abnormality inside the pavilion. After Daoist Eastern Flower emerged, they immediately surrounded Chen Mo and Qin Weiyu.
"Headmaster, are you alright? What happened in there just now?" A law protector asked. With but a glance from the headmaster, the Eastern Flower's sect protected array would activate, making escape difficult for those two.
"How can you be so rude to guests. I was merely comparing learning with Fellow just now, you must not be discourteous." Daoist Eastern Flower coldly said.
"Yes."
The others lowered their guard.
All of a sudden, the female cultivator guarding the door entered the main hall on a riding sword. "Headmaster!"
"What is the matter, why are you so flustered." Daoist Eastern Flower was displeased. Why were so many things happening today.
"Emperor Tang has delivered an invitation."
"Invitation?"
"Yes, the eve of the Title Bestowal Ceremony is about to commence, and Emperor Tang has summoned the headmasters of the Four Great Sword Sects."
Everyone was suddenly taken aback.
