Chapter 102: This is a Tragedy
Chu King of Hell was furious in his thoughts as he said to the Sword Spirit, "Look at the trouble you've caused! Hurry up and fix it!"
The Sword Spirit hurriedly nodded energetically and started moving with a spring in its step. With a swish, the heavenly petal orchid disappeared from the passage, leaving Young Master Wei dumbfounded...
"In the future, when I call on you, you need to be more spirited and obedient! If you cause me trouble again, I will tear the heavenly petal orchid apart!" Chu Yang threatened fiercely in his mind.
The Sword Spirit, while fondly fiddling with the heavenly petal orchid, nodded repeatedly, bending and bowing. Since entering Chu Yang's mental space, it had been the first time it was so obedient!
"Let's go, I’ll take you to the White Crystal Mine." Young Master Wei looked at Chu Yang with some envy and stepped outside. After walking for a while, he suddenly stopped, pondered for a long time, then turned around.
"Chu Yang, you owe me a favor today, which means I will owe you a big favor in the future..." Young Master Wei frowned, looking somewhat hesitant, as if he didn't know where to begin, he struggled to say, "I need to remind you of something."
"Please, Brother Wei, go ahead." Chu Yang inexplicably felt a weight in his heart, realizing that what Young Master Wei was about to say was undoubtedly significant.
"Possessing the Nine Calamity Sword... as the nine calamity sword master, within you lies the nine calamity space... This is an unparalleled treasure! It is also the number one weapon in the Nine Heavens. Once the Nine Calamity Sword reaches perfection, it will command the world, and no one will dare to disobey!" Young Master Wei finally spoke the words 'Nine Calamity Sword,' and yet he seemed to have more to say.
Chu Yang also felt a shock run through him. He knew that Young Master Wei understood his identity, but hearing it come out of his mouth made it feel real from another person! Chu Yang still felt shaken.
"...But this thing also..." Young Master Wei's lips moved, and he finally said, "...is not necessarily a good thing. There should be corresponding... something else; this, I can't say for sure; it's only mentioned vaguely in the records..."
"Vague records?" Chu Yang furrowed his brow and asked.
"When calamity arises, the winds and clouds dance; when thousands perish, the stars weep; heaven and earth change, destinies diverge..." Young Master Wei recited solemnly, "This is a song about the Nine Calamity Sword on the continent; there are sixteen lines in total, and here, only six are known! The next few lines are 'Be the calamity, the soul is the path; to support the heavens, for eternity; revered as a god, do not take the lead; flesh and bone shatter...'
Young Master Wei stopped here abruptly: "I only know the next seven lines; beyond that, it cuts off."
"Mm..." Chu Yang fell into contemplation. The first six lines described the function of the Nine Calamity Sword, while the following lines clearly referred to the nine calamity sword master.
'Be the calamity, the soul is the path, to support the heavens, for eternity; revered as a god, do not take the lead; flesh and bone shatter...' These lines carried quite an ominous meaning.
"Anyway, be careful!" Young Master Wei smiled faintly: "Since you have been granted such supreme power as the nine calamity sword master, if you do not make corresponding sacrifices, that would be abnormal."
Chu Yang laughed heartily and said, "Indeed." He set this matter aside, and the two walked out side by side.
...
Outside, Mo Qingwu was wrapped in a thick mink coat, occasionally stretching her neck to look ahead at the swirling snow, her expression anxious.
She only saw Chu Yang and Young Master Wei walk to that place, and then they vanished in a flash.
"Why hasn't Brother Chu Yang come out yet?" Mo Qingwu murmured anxiously.
The little loli today wore a pure white snow mink hat, a thick white fox fur scarf, and a snow-white mink coat, but on her feet, she wore a pair of exquisitely crafted red fox fur boots.
