Chapter 64: Rules
Translated and Edited by: La0o9
“Very good, if this Saint doesn’t question then you don’t answer, that’s exactly the rule of this Bai Hua Palace, you did quite well indeed ——–which sect are you from?”
“This humble one is a lone cultivator”
“Ah? You don’t seem like one, but since you’ve come here, what is your wish?”
Bai Hua Fairy leaned on her throne of flowers and questioned him.
Gu Qing Shan clasped his fist, bow and answered: “This one only hope that the Saint would save the life of two people”
“Saving their lives? From disease or of old age?”
Bai Hua Fairy nonchalantly asked.
This type of matter is as simple as waving a hand to her, so as soon as she heard ‘saving life’, she instinctively felt bored.
“It is neither, the frontline was in chaos due to a traitor, General Sun Zhi and Heaven’s Limit Saintess Ning Yue Xi are currently surrounded by demons on all sides and are about to die”
“They found the entrance to another world, which made the demons dispatch all their forces to take their lives”
“General Sun Zhi had gave me a way to escape, but without a place to call for help, I could only come here to attempt a list”
Bai Hua Fairy’s half-closed eyes suddenly opened, her posture became straight and her face became serious.
“Another world... and traitor?”
“What you said is true? Know this, if your words contain any falsehood to this Saint, you cannot handle the consequences” she spoke with a low voice.
Gu Qing Shan replied: “There is no falsehood”
“Do you have your badge with you?” Bai Hua Fairy asked.
“I do” Gu Qing Shan was a bit confused, why would she need to see his badge now?
“Take it out” Bai Hua Fairy ordered.
“Yes”
Gu Qing Shan took off the bronze alloy badge on his waist and presented with both hands.
With a wave, Bai Hua Fairy had made the bronze alloy badge flew across the palace and into her hand.
As Bai Hua Fairy infused it with her spirit energy, a light appeared on the badge, showing a name.
“Vanguard legion, Gu Qing Shan”
The badge isn’t fake; it naturally carries a connection with this youth before her.
Such a serious matter, could it be true?
Bai Hua Fairy’s expression became dignified.
She pointed at the bronze alloy badge and made it float in the air.
“Divine Skill ——–Truth From Spacetime!”
Bai Hua Fairy quickly made a set of hand signs.
Hooong!
A loud sound was heard from the air.
A large spirit light pounded the air, breaking and turning it into a two-person tall black hole.
In the black hole, a few moving images were seen.
Is was showing the past, the past of all creatures whose aura had ever came into contact with the badge.
In a dead pit, numerous bodies of dead soldier emitted a dusty grey color.
Inside the outpost, Zhao Lu was seen, but around him was a thick grey color of death, showing that he together with all the dead people in the dead pit has all entered reincarnation.
Faceless Giant.
Human-faced Bird.
Demon Snake.
....
Numerous faces appeared, and then Gong Sun Zhi and Ning Yue Xi also showed up.
After that was Shen Wu world, inside the endless sea of demons.
Five cultivators were covered in a grey aura.
Only Leng Tian Xing still had a cold frosty blue aura.
Seeing that much, Bai Hua Fairy nodded: “Having been through so much killing, yet you can still make it to Bai Hua country, and successfully attempted the sword list, you indeed are praiseworthy”
Gu Qing Shan once again spoke: “This one beg the Saint to save those two”
Bai Hua Fairy replied: “Don’t mention that just yet, everything must be done within this Saint’s rules”
She opened her jade-white hand covered in a green aura as she quickly counted something.
In just a few moments, Bai Hua Fairy’s face relaxed and said: “I’ve just made a divination, within the next 15 minutes, they will not die”
The hardest of the 6 arts, Divination!
Living 2 lives, this is the very first time that Gu Qing Shan had seen someone perform real divination.
Of course in the past life, it wasn’t that he had never seen someone do divination, but it was always with a stooge, a trick to fool people.
The game described it very clearly, the hardest of the 6 arts is Divination.
But also because of that, numerous players became con artists in the world of cultivation.
There were even quite a few cultivators of this world who got fooled.
While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, Bai Hua Fairy once again spoke.
“Even though you attempted the sword list, you’ve yet to use a single sword skill in the green jade screen, and this doesn’t fit my rules”
“Successfully attempted the sword list without using a sword, if everyone does things like this, wouldn’t my Bai Hua lists become a total joke for you people to fool around with?”
“Because of that, I can’t consider you to have fully completed the sword list”
She clapped her hands and summoned two maids who appeared without a sound.
“These are two of my sword maidens, I will limit their cultivation to qi training stage 7, you have one chance to battle them”
“Within 15 minutes, if you can’t defeat them, this Saint shall consider you to have failed the sword list instead”
“If that’s the case, this Saint shall take this information to the frontline to let them deal with it, this Saint shall not deal with it herself”
Gu Qing Shan hurriedly: “But the cultivators on the frontline might not be able to save them”
Bai Hua Fairy frowned and said: “If you want this Saint to do anything for you, you must successfully attempt a Bai Hua list, this is my rule, and no one can ever change it”
As soon as she said that, the two sword maiden had stepped forward, bowed and took out their swords.
Gu Qing Shan quickly counted, since the time he left Ning Yue Xi and Gong Sun Zhi, it’s already been almost half a day.
In order words, the 10-trigram Sealing formation on Gong Sun Zhi’s body is about to reach its limit.
He grabbed the air with his hand, holding a steel sword.
Bai Hua Fairy is hard to predict; she has her own set of rules that no one can ever interfere with.
If you don’t follow her rules, if you can’t satisfy her, then even if the sky itself is falling, she won’t lift a finger to help you.
He can’t help it; he’ll have to show his best.
“Please” Gu Qing Shan breathed in, held his sword up and said.
The two sword maiden looked at each other, swung their swords and attacked.
The two swords are one long, one short, one quick, one slow, covering for each other’s weak points, weaving strike after strike, reaching Gu Qing Shan in a matter of seconds.
This type of combination, this type of swordplay, there’s no imagination to it, no flashiness and definitely no justice, everything is for the sake of taking the enemy’s life, a swordplay that’s simple to its limit.
Seeing how well they complement each other, even calling it one person using two styles at the same time isn’t enough.
“Good”
Gu Qing Shan praised them.
Then his sword also moved.
Bang! Bang!
Two consecutive sounds.
The two sword maiden stepped back a few feet, surprised.
“Wind Slash?”
“No, Kai Shan”
They hesitated, unable to determine.
Gu Qing Shan pursued, the longsword in his hand looked slow but was very quick, striking several times in a row.
The two sword maidens blocked them all and was forced back 7-8 more feet.
“This is Wind Cutting Consecutive Slashes!”
“No, it’s Kai Shan Sword Hammer!”
The two of them opened their mouths at the same time.
They silently fixed their styles, wanting to attack, but their combination was no longer perfect.
As the sword flashes before their eyes, the two of them wanted to block, but only felt an impact on their hands as their swords were knocked away, flying to the other end of the palace.
A voice lightly exclaimed from atop the throne.
“Sword wills weaving, naturally shifting”
Bai Hua Fairy seemed to be in full excitement, smiled and said: “You two didn’t lose for nothing, this is a style mixed between the Wind Slash true will and Kai Shan true will, only someone who’ve perfected both of these styles would be able to do something like that”
Seeing her like that, you’d think she doesn’t care at all about Gong Sun Zhi and Ning Yue Xi’s lives.
Even the fact that there’s a traitor in humanity’s top brass, and the fact that Shen Wu world existed couldn’t even make a ripple in her mood.
