Chapter 336: Another Breakthrough
Young Master Wei walked away with great ease. He believed that with his introduction, even if this Jun Qingyang offended Diwu Qingrou, as long as his true identity remained hidden, Diwu Qingrou would turn a blind eye and choose to tolerate him.
From now on, everything would depend on Chu Yang himself to accomplish! Yet he did not know what kind of thoughts this mysterious Chu Imperial Seat harbored.
However, Young Master Wei was very confident in his heart: up to now, both he and Chu Yang could be said to be repaying each other’s debts of gratitude. As of now, the debts were settled, and they owed nothing to each other.
If he could survive, if he could defeat Diwu Qingrou, he would eventually come to the Central Three Heavens or the Upper Three Heavens. By then, whether they would be enemies or friends would depend on the changing circumstances.
If they were enemies, having such a rival would be quite interesting. If they were friends… he should also make a decent friend.
But if he could not defeat Diwu Qingrou, he would definitely be killed by him. Then… there was no need for him to worry about a dead man!
So he left feeling very relaxed and carefree.
Diwu Qingrou also returned. He earnestly invited Jun Qingyang to stay at the Xiang Residence, but the other party insisted on refusing. He had no choice but to arrange for Jing Menghun and others to keep an eye on things. He even recruited a lot of fishermen to help search for the Nine-Section Lotus Root…
The crowd at Lotus Flower Lake gradually dispersed, and Di Jue, having narrowly escaped death, quickly left.
However, too many people remained in the shadows!
The experts from the Golden Horse Knights Hall had almost all gathered here. Diwu Qingrou ordered sternly: The focus was on Lotus Flower Lake! After the crowd dispersed, they had to keep a close watch!
So Jing Menghun and Yin Wutian were paying attention to this matter.
And after Chu Imperial Seat cleared out the enemy's stronghold, one day later, he re-engaged with these two brothers. But they met again as if they did not recognize each other.
Jing Menghun and Yin Wutian were both in low spirits; after a brief greeting, they saw that Chu Yang was also not in good spirits, and the three of them fell into their own thoughts.
Jing Menghun was pondering: How to find that Young Master Ye? How to make up for the losses? Moreover, Du Shiqing’s wife and children had gone missing, and he hadn’t dared to tell Diwu Qingrou yet; how should he handle it?
Yin Wutian was also thinking about these things, but his mind was more layered: Could it be Cheng Yunhe who caused my brother's disability?
Could it be? If it really was… what should he do?
How should he gather evidence?
Chu Yang, on the other hand, was thinking: Damn it, Diwu Qingrou’s people have completely sealed off Lotus Flower Lake, and I need to go find the third segment of the Nine Calamity Sword. I must engage with that monster, and there will inevitably be commotion on the water. What should I do?
Even if I find it, how do I escape?
When I accomplish all my goals, I will likely expose myself. At that time, how will I safely return after traveling thousands of miles from Great Zhao to Iron Cloud?
Diwu Qingrou should be planning to mobilize troops now; how will this battle unfold?
Chu Yang's mind was a tangled mess. He found a secluded spot, clasped his hands behind his head, and lay down in the grass. With a tender green reed in his mouth, he rolled it up and down, his gaze filled with contemplation as he looked at the starry sky.
He remained still for a long time.
Just this afternoon, he felt his bottleneck loosen again, and the summoning of the Nine Calamity Sword from the center of the lake became clearer…
Everything was just because of a man and a woman's words!
Young Master Wei, Jun Luolu!
When Jun Luolu left, that proud melody played on the zither made Chu Yang truly feel a realm: standing at the summit, where the heights are unbearably cold!
That was a kind of loneliness only a master at another realm could experience!
