Bu Liqing was deep in thought.
Over the years, although the Master Law Sovereign may not have been able to see through him, he himself could not see through the Master either. But at least from the perspective of the innate spiritual vein…
At the very least, in terms of cultivation level, the Master Law Sovereign was slightly higher than him!
Bu Liqing's gaze flickered, and he coldly snorted inwardly, not expecting this guy to be so deeply hidden.
However, even if his cultivation was higher, he certainly did not give him the kind of pressure and sense of crisis; so, where did this sense of crisis come from?
This point left Bu Liqing utterly baffled.
…
Chu Yang walked back, his brows tightly knitted.
He did not stop at all and returned to his Orchid Fragrance Garden. In fact, after he came out, he even forgot to find Han Xiaoran to leave together.
After entering, he hurriedly went to find Zixie Qing.
Zixie Qing was currently helping Chu Le'er to push blood through her meridians, performing the final modification of her qualifications.
Chu Yang said a word and returned to sit under the flower rack, quietly waiting while frowning and lost in thought.
After a long while, Zixie Qing appeared in front of Chu Yang with a flash of her white shadow: "What’s the matter? Why does your face look so serious?"
"Um, the Sword Spirit is in seclusion. There is something I can only ask you." Chu Yang glanced at him seriously, and Zixie Qing could not help but become serious as well. With a wave of her hand, a thought completely sealed the small courtyard and said, "What’s going on?"
"There is a name; I don't know if you've heard of it…" Chu Yang took a deep breath: "Wuzhuo City!"
Since Han Xiaoran mentioned this name, Chu Yang had always felt vaguely familiar with it, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before. Yet, in his heart, he always felt that this matter was not simple.
So as soon as things were done, he immediately came back to find Zixie Qing.
"Wuzhuo City?" Zixie Qing was taken aback. "I should have heard that name."
She frowned in contemplation, and after a long while, she said, "At the very least, it’s a name from tens of thousands of years ago…"
"Tens of thousands of years ago…" Chu Yang mused, feeling as though there was a layer of paper in his heart. With a little force, it could be pierced through.
"Indeed… back then, this name was quite famous, as it was…" Zixie Qing began.
Before she could finish her sentence, Chu Yang suddenly slapped his thigh, "I remember now!"
"You remember?" Zixie Qing asked, only to see Chu Yang's expression turn peculiar.
There was a sense of fear, confusion, and a kind of… indescribable complexity.
Her heart trembled involuntarily.
Chu Yang indeed remembered. At that time, when he killed Ou Duxiao and obtained the "Poison Codex of the World," the Sword Spirit had said something.
At that time, the Sword Spirit said: "The Poison Codex of the World is not only about using poison to harm others; this was the famous method of the 'poison doctor' from Wuzhuo City!"
"The poison doctor from Wuzhuo City was one of the nine brothers of the Nine Calamity Sword Master forty thousand years ago, belonging to the Wu Family. Thirty thousand years ago, they were also one of the nine great families that dominated the Nine Heavens! The poison doctor from Wuzhuo City roamed the martial arts world using his poison arts, killing and saving people. He never used his hands or weapons! In casual conversations, he could bring down tens of thousands of people, and the heroes of the land were left helpless, shaking the world at that time!"
"Wuzhuo City was not only a master of poison arts but also a master of medicine. His character was both righteous and wicked, acting solely on his whims; he was truly a remarkable figure of his generation!"
Chu Yang's heart thundered like a storm.
One of the nine calamities from forty thousand years ago.
Then he recalled what Han Xiaoran had said today.
"Back then, when the Master Law Sovereign fought with Wuzhuo City, it was truly earth-shattering. Wuzhuo City floated in mid-air, casually grabbing a mountain and floating in the sky."
