Chapter 10: Accompanying You on a Journey
Lian Yun felt even more dissatisfied with Eastern Sword's response. He had once invited Eastern Sword to go out, hoping that Eastern Sword could broaden his horizons and gain more experiences.
However, Eastern Sword preferred to stay at home, refusing Lian Yun's invitation. Now, unexpectedly—
Before Lian Yun could speak, Eastern Sword suddenly changed the subject, expressing concern, "I’ve heard that you’ve taken up some dubious activities. Given the perilous situations you’re facing now, your troubles must be even greater!"
"In fact, over the past three years, I’ve wanted to meet you several times. Since you’ve lost your spiritual power, it would be great for you to focus on swordsmanship like I do! After all, Uncle Yi has passed away; your swordsmanship is no less than mine. You were only distracted by your need to cultivate spiritual power and your travels with Aunt Bei Yan, which left you little time to practice swordplay."
"But Ancestor advised me not to disturb your path, so I didn’t seek you out."
"Mm!" Lian Yun responded somewhat indifferently.
This response acknowledged that his troubles were indeed significant and also indicated that even if Eastern Sword had invited him over the past three years, he would not have accepted.
However, it was clear that Dongfang Shuo had a keen insight; he suspected that Lian Yun’s purpose for staying in the Lian Family was not merely about appearances but also related to his physical condition.
In response to Lian Yun’s words, Eastern Sword simply smiled kindly, as he suddenly found himself at a loss for words.
Although Lian Yun held the title of Cloud Emperor and seemed to bask in glory, he was actually suffering from the schemes of the entire Demon Clan alliance and his own family. His troubles were caused by others' machinations, while Eastern Sword's difficulties stemmed solely from his own shortcomings.
Lian Yun faced a world filled with deceit and treachery, while Eastern Sword enjoyed a life of ease and tranquility.
"Sword One, who is this friend? You actually know someone outside the family?"
Several Dragonfly Demons had already been slain when a person of higher status approached Eastern Sword, expressing surprise.
It was evident just how reclusive Eastern Sword truly was.
As for the name Sword One, it was a title that Eastern Sword had taken for himself. He never cared that he could not cultivate spiritual power; instead, he devoted himself to the pursuit of One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Laws, thus giving himself the title of Sword One.
In fact, calling Eastern Sword "Eastern Sword One" would not be incorrect.
The newcomer was not foolish. Without waiting for Eastern Sword to respond, he exclaimed in astonishment, "But even Young Master Yun?"
Lian Yun removed his Mask, nodded, and then put it back on! This left the Ninety-Nine People outside of Eastern Sword feeling utterly shocked.
A few Dragonfly Demons required their combined efforts to battle for a while, yet Lian Yun...
Looking at the nearly twenty pairs of thin, transparent wings on Lian Yun's back, they felt that even though Lian Yun had not yet reached the King's Realm, the title of Cloud Emperor was still well-deserved.
Although Evil Spirits almost all possessed special abilities, very few were usable; otherwise, why had Zhou Tong and others never collected materials from Evil Spirit corpses?
However, the usable materials from Evil Spirits were all exceptionally precious.
The wings of this Dragonfly Demon were among them. They inherently possessed a certain degree of anti-gravity ability, and if crafted properly, could be used to create special items—such as cloaks or battle garments.
At that moment, Eastern Sword said, "We originally came here because we heard there was a high-ranking individual. We wanted to inquire about some internal news regarding Fengdu. To our surprise, it turned out to be you. From what you just said, it seems there is indeed some change in Fengdu. Yet you remain here—are you after the Blood Spirit Fruit? If you truly need it, we can help you seek it out!"
"I want more than twenty!" Lian Yun glanced disdainfully at the other person.
"Uh! That's a bit greedy, isn't it?" Eastern Sword replied, somewhat speechless.
Lian Yun shook his head and said, "Having encountered a few exceptionally talented individuals here, I couldn't bear to see their talents wasted in this place. So I took them under my wing, promising to secure enough Blood Spirit Fruits for them, as well as some for their families. Twenty is the minimum target! If there are any extras, they can use them as they wish. As for what kind of power they want to display, that's up to them!"
"Although I don't care what kind of power they want to showcase, I won't be in the Land of Huaxia for the next few years. Before I leave, I must secure some usable resources for them!"
"Well then! Let's not get involved! However, aside from a few families like the Lin Family, almost all Major Powers in the capital have teams here now. If you want to obtain more than twenty by yourself, you're likely to offend the entire capital."
At this moment, Lian Yun stood up, smiling slightly, but his tone was calm as he said, "I've faced the entire world; why should I care about the capital?"
Though his tone was light, his demeanor was imposing and grand, causing several nearby individuals to flush with excitement.
Eastern Sword, despite his reclusive nature, couldn't help but admire him at that moment. Some qualities are not cultivated by family background or innate talent; they must be earned through experience.
"It seems I really should travel far and gain more experience."
"Only just realizing that? No one wants to play with you anymore. Hmm~~ maybe my second brother can play with you!" Clearly, Lian Yun was still upset with Eastern Sword.
His rejection had left Lian Yun without a true friend aside from 'the General.'
Though their conversation now seemed like that of old friends, it was merely due to their respective statuses; they were not truly friends in any meaningful sense.
“Mu Realm, huh? It certainly sounds excellent, but I fear it won't be as interesting as traveling with you.”
This was the first time Dongfang Yi had taken on a disciple. While others might not fully understand the significance of Mu Realm, the Eastern Family certainly needed to grasp it thoroughly.
Lian Yun ignored the regrets surrounding Eastern Sword and even felt a bit of schadenfreude; after all, Eastern Sword had rejected all of his invitations.
However, Lian Yun did not elaborate much: “Give me some nutritional tablets. Based on my personal speculation, something must have either been born in Fengdu Center or some existence has managed to break through.”
“For ten years, no one has been able to obtain Blood Spirit Fruit, yet now there are a hundred each year. The possibility of a conspiracy here is extremely high! So I advise you all to leave Fengdu!”
“If I could leave Fengdu, I would provide you with detailed information once I'm outside. If I can't escape now, then you will have no chance of survival if you go in.”
If such words came from an outsider, the people of the Eastern Family might think the person was boasting or even looking down on them. However, coming from Lian Yun—who bore more than twenty pairs of wings—made them believe without a doubt.
“Alright then, Brother Qing, you all should head back for now!”
“Seeing how angry you are, I suppose I'll accompany you this time,” Eastern Sword said with a smile at Lian Yun.
