Translator: 549690339

The whine of The Sword Qi is Near echoed throughout the Demon Sect, causing all swords, regardless of who they belonged to, to tremble violently.

Even the wooden hairpin stuck in Second Senior Sister’s hair quivered slightly.

Second Senior Sister extended her slender finger and gently touched the wooden hairpin, seemingly to straighten it. At her touch, the hairpin quickly stilled.

At the apex of the Demon Sect, Shen Yan and his group were already gathered together. Lin Chan was their Junior Sister, and also possessed a Natural Sword Embryo, naturally they couldn’t help but pay attention.

Of course, they also wanted to start a betting pool.

Upon hearing the whine of The Sword Qi is Near, everyone’s faces changed dramatically, led by Shen Yan they flew towards the Hidden Mountain, arriving at the foot of the mountain in no time.

“Third Uncle Master.” Everyone greeted Zhuge Lai Fu, who was waiting for Lin

Chan at the foot of the mountain.

Zhuge Lai Fu nodded, like everyone else, he was looking up at the peak of Hidden Mountain.

With their strength, the dense fog on Hidden Mountain could perhaps obstruct their vision, but it absolutely couldn’t obstruct their Divine Sense.

They could sense The Sword Qi is Near at the peak emitting constant sword whines, it seemed somewhat anxious, a hint of dissatisfaction mingling in its anxiety.

The sword whines continued for a few moments, then quickly quieted down.

How to put it, The Sword Qi is Near was acting coy, it let out a few sword whines to remind Lin Chan, but soon chose to remain silent.

It had its own pride, standing tall and aloof.

For some unknown reason, it had taken a liking to Lin Chan and out of the blue chosen her, wanting her to take it away from Hidden Mountain.

It waited on the peak, waiting for Lin Chan to ascend.

Once she arrived, it would first float in the air, scrutinizing her, only after putting on an ample show of its pride, would it tremble slightly, showing its approval of her. Then, under her excited gaze, it would leave Hidden Mountain with her.

But what it hadn’t expected was for Lin Chan to stop at the Spirit Sword!

What’s going on?!

Actually, even Shen Yan and the others were surprised.

They had not expected to take away The Sword Qi is Near initially, they had hoped that Lin Chan would take away the Wind Stabilizing Wave. It was the sword of their Senior Sister, their respected Senior Sister!

But just now, Lin Chan seemed to have no intention of continuing her climb, she went straight towards the Broken Sword. Only when The Sword Qi is Near couldn’t bear it any longer did she stop, then she looked towards the peak with a puzzled expression.

There was grand confusion on her small face.

She seemed to be wondering, how could a sword make such a loud noise?

“It…it has a big voice!” Lin Chan thought to herself.

That sudden sword whine just now was like a thunderbolt out of the blue for her. The intensity of the noise was like thunder, causing the timid Lin Chan to jump, her small, thin body violently shaking.

In contrast, the Broken Sword in front of her was still barely discernible, appearing as if it could “die” at any moment.

It was like an elderly man in his dying days, lying on his sickbed, its vibrations and faint sword whines just now to Lin Chan could all be considered its final surge of vitality.

Lin Chan felt as if she could sense its emotions, it was not begging for anything, but…somewhat unwilling?

Yes, that’s right, it was unwilling.

Now, Lin Chan was faced with two choices.

One was the Broken Sword in front of her, a sword that was barely hanging on.

The other was The Sword Qi is Near floating at the top of the mountain, a sword full of vigor.

The two were like opposites!

As the sword whine of The Sword Qi is Near resounded, all the swords on Hidden Mountain went quiet, seemingly submissive beneath its awe-inspiring power.

The Wind Stabilizing Wave was also silent, as it was Yan Shu’s sword, and Yan Shu was Yan Li’s first disciple. Its relationship with The Sword Qi is Near was different from that of other swords.

Only the Broken Sword was still making a weak call, declaring its will.

It was unwilling!

It was really unwilling!

It was unclear if its unwillingness was due to the impending death or something else.

Back mountain, cave.

Upon hearing Mao Nanbei’s account, Lu Xun’s eyebrows could not help but furrow slightly.

“Broken Sword? Where did a Broken Sword come from?” he couldn’t help but question.

Only a few months had passed since his last ascent of the mountain.

He remembered very clearly, when he climbed the mountain, no such Broken Sword existed.

The Broken Sword was too peculiar, if it had been there at that time, Lu Xun would have definitely noticed it at first glance.

It’s as if a severely disabled person had suddenly appeared among a row of able-bodied people. It was too obtrusive.

The strangest thing was, even though this sword was broken and its sword spirit was nearly depleted, it still had the quality of a superior spirit sword. Therefore, when it was intact, it must have been at least an immortal sword, at least at the purple level!

Has there been any cultivator who has a purple-level immortal sword that died in recent times under the Demon Sect?

No, there hasn’t!

So, where did this sword that appeared out of nowhere come from?

All this revealed a hint of strangeness, as though there was a hidden story behind it all!

Lu Xun asked in a low voice, “Little Chan hasn’t continued to climb the mountain, has she?”

“No.” Mao Nanbei’s expression became serious along with the conversation.

It’s the Sword Qi is Near up there! The mountain top is filled with the Sword Qi is Near, that had been cultivated to the extreme by the eldest brother using his sword cultivating technique!

“Why is she hesitating, it’s so frustrating!” Mao Nanbei, seated, couldn’t help stomping his foot, but because he was too short and his legs were too short, he just kicked in the air, looking both comical and adorable.

In contrast, after some thought, Lu Xun took a deep breath and said, “Little Chan is a Natural Sword Embryo, her perception of swords is extremely sensitive. Perhaps she saw something that we couldn’t.”

“Little Junior Brother! That’s the Sword Qi is Near!” Mao Nanbei widened his cat’s eyes, his cat ears stood straight, his face serious.

“I know, but let’s respect Little Chan’s feelings. Whatever she likes is fine.” Lu Xun said: “Besides, the only one who can make a decision on Hidden Mountain is her.”

Just now, Lu Xun had asked himself, if Lin Chan took that broken sword, how would he feel?

He felt he would be a bit disappointed, but it wouldn’t make him angry or upset.

This Little Mute has suffered so much already. As her master, Lu Xun hoped that she could live happily and smoothly in the future.

After their recent time together, he had genuinely come to love her.

If she wants this broken sword, then take it!

It’s just a little less task reward, when the public test comes online, we can double-trick it back from the silly players, what’s the big deal?

As for the Sword Qi is Near… who do you think you are fooling with your stinky attitude! Your wife has run off with me, and you’re still putting on airs! What are you bragging about! Still taking a stand!

He reminded himself, “When Little Chan makes her choice and returns, I must act like I’m very satisfied. I mustn’t let her feel discouraged. I should bring out an Oscar-level performance, this little girl is actually very sensitive.”

After making the psychological preparation, Lu Xun sat with Mao Nanbei, waiting for Lin Chan’s choice.

On the Hidden Mountain, Lin Chan quickly made her own decision!

She looked up at the top of the mountain, then decisively took a step forward, reached out towards the broken sword.

This struggling broken sword reminded her of her grandfather before he passed away.

At that time, her grandfather was lying on the sick bed, hanging on to his last breath, looking at her weakly, always muttering, “I don’t dare to die, I don’t dare to die … .

He was worried about his mute granddaughter, so even though he had only a breath left, he was still resisting.

This broken sword was also resisting.

But human strength has limits, and her grandfather eventually still died.

However, this sword was different.

Lin Chan had an intuition that she might… be able to help it?

She didn’t forget her handsome master’s words. When the Sword Qi is Near made a sword hum, she, relying on her natural sword embryo’s uniqueness, had carefully sensed it.

Then, she made her judgment:

This broken sword, if it wasn’t for its current weakness, definitely wouldn’t be inferior to the sword on the mountain top!

She felt that this broken sword was the best sword on the mountain!

Although the Sword Qi is Near seemed arrogant, Lin Chan was always a polite child. Like when she declined the other magical weapons earlier, she also slightly bowed towards the top of the mountain to express her apology, then directly grabbed the hilt of the broken sword!

A white light enveloped her, teleporting her out.

The Sword Qi is Near on the top of the mountain was clearly stunned. It made another sword hum, sounding somewhat impatient and annoyed.

You didn’t choose me!? You actually didn’t choose me!?

But Lin Chan had already been transported down to the foot of the mountain.

As the white light flickered, Lin Chan’s skinny figure appeared, her thin arm gripping the broken sword tight.

In the wooden house at the foot of Hidden Mountain, the mute old man didn’t come out. There was a smile of contentment on his face, and then he slowly bent over, deeply bowing in Lin Chan’s direction as a grand salute, and didn’t get up for a long time.

And on the top of the back mountain, a gentleman in white stood outside of the small study, looking up at the white clouds in the sky. A faint smile appeared on his face, along with deep nostalgia.
