Chapter 450: Chapter 451 Return to Life and Death City, Re-enter the Evil World!
Five days later, within the Life and Death City!
A wooden cart was being pulled forward by a shadowy figure wearing a bamboo hat, and this figure’s name was Chen Yidao!
On the wooden cart behind him lay a corpse.
Beside the corpse sat an old man cradling a wine jar, drinking.
“Elder, it’s been over a month now, when will you teach me sword skill?” Chen Yidao, wearing a bamboo hat and pulling the cart, asked as he turned his head back.
Gulp, gulp!
The old man drank the wine and wiped the corner of his mouth.
“What’s your hurry, how long has it been?
I am the number one blade in the world, my sword skill is invincible in the world!
Do you think learning invincible sword skill only requires helping me bury a few people and pulling a cart for a few days?
Is my sword skill so cheap in your eyes?” he asked loudly.
Hearing this, Chen Yidao slightly lowered his head.
“Elder, top-notch sword skill indeed shouldn’t be so cheap.”
The old man took another sip of wine.
“Glad you understand. Keep pulling the cart, don’t let this matter delay time!
Let the corpse stink!” he urged.
Chen Yidao nodded.
“Elder, I have been walking without delay in burying the corpses.
But elder, I have already met the requirement you mentioned last time.
Even if you don’t teach me the top-tier sword skill, you should teach me some basic sword skills!
Let me build a good foundation, won’t you?”
He continued, saying.
“Besides, I’ve been working diligently these days, satisfying your wishes.
If you don’t teach me the world’s invincible sword skill, at least teach me a couple of basic ones, let me practice.
Otherwise, idling for too long, my sword skill realm will fall!”
The old man frowned and impatiently waved his hand.
“Alright, alright. Wait a few more days, and I’ll teach you a couple of fast sword skills!”
Chen Yidao bowed.
“Thank you, elder!”
He then turned his head back down and continued pulling the cart.
The old man smirked.
“Young people these days just want quick success, they don’t understand that haste makes waste.
The number one blade in the world!
Is it that easy to learn?”
He muttered a few words, lifted the wine jar, and started drinking again, gulping it down.
He drank and paused, and paused and drank.
Finally, he started singing, looking very pleased.
All because of these days that Chen Yidao was by his side, no one dared to bully him!
Whatever he wanted to eat or drink, Chen Yidao would get it for him!
He was happy and joyful.
But Chen Yidao, pulling the cart with his head down, felt very irritable, and his eyes turned gloomy.
These days, he increasingly felt that the old man sitting behind him on the cart was just an ordinary person, knowing no sword skills.
People in the city gossiped behind his back, mocking him as blind.
“If he doesn’t teach me sword skill in another two days, I’ll…”
*He hardened his heart, pulling the cart toward the city gates.*
As he exited the city, he noticed a familiar figure approaching.
Yang Yan!
As a Martial Artist, his memory was naturally exceptional.
Especially the scene of Yang Yan boldly drinking Chen Xianzui that day, it was vivid in his mind.
Though he did not know Yang Yan’s name, he remembered this person!
“I thought he was seeking death, so I ignored him and left after finishing my meal.
But a few days later, everyone from that inn disappeared, even the owner was gone!
There was no commotion as if they vanished into thin air!
I suppose that day when he got drunk, the people behind him acted!
This person is not simple!
His background is very powerful!”
Chen Yidao brushed past Yang Yan, trying to keep his distance.
Yang Yan, who encountered Chen Yidao, didn’t have much memory of him but still noticed him.
“He has a murderous intent, deeply hidden!”
His target was the old man with the wine jar on the cart.
Yang Yan did not interfere, just glanced and walked away.
In Life and Death City, people with murderous intentions were numerous.
He didn’t care about one more!
He led Gu Bing into Life and Death City, arriving at the inn where he had stayed last time!
Due to his actions, the inn’s original owner had already been killed by the New Saint Master.
Only a short time had passed, and it had already replaced the owner again!
“Sir, this way please!” the waiter said with a smile, bowing.
Yang Yan didn’t glance at him, spoke directly.
“Give me a room, and bring two jars of Chen Xianzui into the room!”
“Alright, coming right up!”
The waiter led Yang Yan and Gu Bing into the room.
“Please wait a moment, I’ll go fetch the Chen Xianzui.” He said, retreating out.
Yang Yan sat on a chair.
“Gu Bing!”
“Master, I’m here!” Gu Bing responded respectfully.
“Later, you keep guard at the door. If I don’t come out, don’t let anyone disturb me!”
“Yes!”
Soon, two jars of Chen Xianzui were brought into the room and placed on the table.
After the waiter and Gu Bing went out, Yang Yan was left alone in the room.
He was about to enter the Evil World to meet Xu Ye, the guardian of the Evil World, who was known as the number one blade in the world.
Although the soul could communicate with the Evil World and enter through the Space Path,
this time he wasn’t going into the Evil World alone, he had to bring another soul along.
That’s why he got Chen Xianzui!
If it didn’t work, he could only use the fake death method to enter the Evil World.
“Come out!” Yang Yan’s brow opened with the True Profound Immortal Pupil.
From his Sea of Consciousness, a woman’s figure emerged, standing in front of Yang Yan.
This woman existed in a soul state, fully transparent.
Her hair draped over her shoulders, her appearance was charming, her skin fair and flawless, she was a stunning beauty!
However!
She had one flaw!
Her eyes!
She had no eyes, her soul’s eye sockets were empty!
In other aspects, she was like an ordinary soul, with no differences.
And she was a mad woman’s soul who had slain the Evil Demon Sect!
She was also the physician named Bai Xue that Yang Yan encountered on the island!
“Elder, thank you for saving me!” Bai Xue expressed her gratitude.
She had seen Yang Yan before, so she could naturally recognize him through her Eye of mind!
These days, apart from being nurtured by Yang Yan’s Sea of Consciousness to restore her soul,
she was aware she had died, leaving only her soul!
The reason for letting her out was that Yang Yan planned to take her into the Evil World!
This was the physician with Mermaid Tears he had met on the island.
It was also from her words that he learned where the mermaids were and found the woman who led him to them.
The first time he didn’t pay it much mind!
But Yang Yan didn’t expect the second time he met Bai Xue, she was no longer a physician.
She had become an ordinary person, understanding Sword Intent, and had slain the Evil Demon Sect by herself!
And the moment he saw Bai Xue the second time, he knew!
He had found the disciple that Xu Ye, the guardian of the Evil World, tasked him to find!
It was Bai Xue!
“No need to thank me. I saved you because there is something I need you to do!” Yang Yan raised his hand to stop her.
Although Bai Xue had no Innate Saber Body, not even Acquired Blade Body.
Her understanding of the Sword Dao was not clear, solely relying on her heart’s intent!
Yet it was this heart’s intent that allowed her to take an unprecedented path into a Sword Dao Realm that was difficult for even Sword Dao Genius to enter!
Clearly, she had a profound understanding of the Sword Dao, not inferior to Innate Saber Body or Acquired Blade Body!
As for Root Bone!
She lacked an Innate Saber Body, yet possessed Charming and the Six Desires Eyes!
This Root Bone was not inferior to the Innate Saber Body!
Now it had even spread to her soul, deeply rooted, possibly surpassing the Innate Saber Body and Acquired Blade Body in Root Bone.
Not to mention her kind heart, resilience, and her belief in slaying the wicked!
Considering these conditions, this person’s disciple report almost perfectly matched Xu Ye’s request to Yang Yan!
“It all depends on whether Xu Ye accepts her!” Yang Yan thought.
The Bai Xue before him seemed very suitable, but the final decision still required Xu Ye’s approval!
After all, it was Xu Ye accepting a disciple, not Yang Yan!
“Elder, you are right.
There’s no need to thank with words, they can’t truly express my gratitude towards you!” Bai Xue said earnestly.
“You taught a single sword move for free, allowing the people on the island to protect themselves.
Although in the end, because of evildoers, they lost their lives,
your greatest benevolence and virtue, Bai Xue will never forget.
Now you have saved my soul, allowing me to live on, to continue slaying evildoers, to fulfill my wish.
This immense gratitude, even if I were to serve as your slave for an eternity, it would not be enough to repay!
Let alone a single task, ten tasks, or even a hundred tasks, I am willing to do.”
“Although you say so, what I need you to do is extremely difficult!
For instance, one requirement is that you’ll have to stay in a place as dark as night for a lifetime, where you will be the only person!
You’ll be very lonely!” Yang Yan said quietly.
To endure loneliness for a hundred years, perhaps one could bear it.
To endure it for ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years, could one endure?
Not to mention, during this time, many evil thoughts would attack the Heart Realm, making it easy to fall into the demon path, with a twisted mind!
Even Xu Ye hadn’t endured it!
Thus, loneliness was hard to withstand, a major obstacle!
“Elder, I’m not afraid of loneliness.
Because I have already been very lonely!” Bai Xue said sadly.
After the island’s fishermen died, she was always alone.
Though she wished to rid the world of evildoers, she knew deep inside,
an insurmountable chasm lay between ordinary people and Martial Artists!
She hardly had the ability to do it, her efforts were just her way of seeking death!
For while living, her Heart, her Physique were tormented by painful memories!
“Moreover, the elder knows where I am, how can I speak of loneliness!” she said, looking at Yang Yan.
Yang Yan stood up.
“Since you think this way, I will speak candidly then!
I am taking you to meet an elder, who will teach you the world’s invincible sword skill!
There, you can also slay the wicked!”
Bai Xue froze, then showed a smile.
“Elder, what you say seems like it’s not me doing something for you, but rather you fulfilling my wish!
For such a matter, naturally, I would be willing a thousand times over!”
Yang Yan paused.
“Perhaps!”
He walked to the side of the bed, lying down, consciousness fading, entering a state of fake death.
Then his soul, in the Sea of Consciousness, used the True Profound Immortal Pupil to communicate with the Evil World.
“Xu Ye, I’ve brought the disciple for you, open the door to the Evil World quickly!”
