CHAPTER 238: The Second Segment of the Nine Calamity Sword, Sword Edge!
As soon as Chu Yang's figure vanished, the space in the room seemed to twist suddenly, and then the figure of the person in blue mysteriously appeared in the room.
“The secret chamber…” A gleam of triumph flashed in the person in blue's eyes as he stroked his chin, murmuring, “It seems this guy's treasures are hidden in the secret chamber… Heh, next time when they go out, I’ll sneak in and take a look… If I can find the jade marrow, then I’ll really strike it rich. Just the old man's reward alone would be enough for me to indulge without worry… But the pressing matter right now is to find a place to drink and celebrate…”
“How treacherous… Such a little fellow, yet his hiding skills are so clever. But he still can’t hide from me…” After reveling in his thoughts for a while, his body suddenly disappeared.
Clearly, the person in blue, believing he had found a significant clue, couldn't wait to celebrate.
As for charging in now… that wouldn’t do. What if he triggered the mechanisms inside and alerted him? Wouldn’t he end up disappointed again? This little guy's vigilance is exceptionally high…
It’s best to wait until he is gone…
Chu Yang had already entered the secret passage. Though he appeared to be moving quickly, his hands were quietly and continuously laying down 'spider silk' behind him; there were hundreds of intersecting strands left in his wake!
Each strand was about as thin as spider silk, indistinguishable in the darkness; but as soon as one was touched, Chu Yang would notice immediately!
This was a major skill in the Nine Calamity Sword to avoid being tracked. With the Sword Spirit currently resting, he relied on this to guard against that person in blue. Even if he meant no harm, it was still best that as few people know about him being the Nine Calamity Sword Master as possible!
After all, that was the source of chaos!
However, Chu Yang was overthinking it; the person in blue had not followed him in…
Entering the lowest level of the Heavenly Weapon Pavilion, he had descended more than ten zhang into the ground, and Chu Yang could feel a chill in the air. This had nothing to do with the weather; it was the chill of the deep earth.
It had taken considerable effort to build this place; the walls were surrounded by water, ensuring that nothing would seep in…
The second segment of the Nine Calamity Sword was right here!
Chu Yang steadied his mind, fully channeling the nine calamity nine heavens divine skill. The tip of the Nine Calamity Sword in his dantian emitted a joyful low hum, automatically rushing out and into the fingertip of his right hand!
A faint cold light flickered on his fingertip, radiating a chilling glow nearly a zhang long!
In the next moment, Chu Yang lowered his hand, and the cold light of the Nine Calamity Sword almost eagerly slashed down! After several strikes, the ground looked unchanged but had already been sliced into several large fragments.
From beneath the ground, a wave of joyful emotion emerged.
It felt like a child who had been away from home for a long time suddenly seeing their mother.
Chu Yang's heart suddenly felt elated as he retracted the sword tip, gathering his power and thrusting it into the ground. With a sharp pull, a large stone block weighing nearly a thousand jin was lifted up along with the earth.
Then, he proceeded to the next block…
After moving nine blocks, the previous stone chamber was almost filled up, yet a massive pit appeared on the ground.
Not a single scrap was wasted; after removing these stones, a small well of peculiar spring water appeared on the ground, the water milky white, bubbling out.
What was strange about this spring was that although it bubbled up, it did not overflow at all. Instead, after coming out, it swirled in place, continuously bubbling without dampening a single bit of soil around the fist-sized spring opening.
Chu Yang’s eyes lit up; this scene was reminiscent of his previous life; furthermore, this spring water had an inexplicable effectiveness for strengthening the body. Back then, after he had drunk his fill, he felt invigorated and found it hard to feel fatigued afterward. Any injuries would heal without leaving scars, returning to normal in a few days.
