Chapter 133: Shaken
Orchid Tongue Grasses are spread all over the world, and now, after Little Bai has merged with Big Bai, its divine sense is even stronger than Su Tingyun's. Yet it can't even locate Yan Yuqing. Su Tingyun will not blindly chase after him.
She first inquires with Master Zhan Yu, wanting to clarify what had happened.
Zhan Yu takes some Pills and, without caring to rest, he carefully explains the whole story, from beginning to end, making sure not to miss a single detail.
"After our last conversation, I went to spar with Yan Yuqing," Zhan Yu ponders for a moment, "We sparred yesterday, and again today."
"He had originally entrusted his sword to me, and I was planning to cultivate it for him, for a few days. I didn't expect that he would change to a different sword today."
Upon hearing this, Su Tingyun raises an eyebrow. For some reason, that broken sword flashes in her mind, and her master's words confirms her suspicions.
"It's that broadsword, from the seal at the bottom of the lake. I don't know why it ended up in his hands," saying this, Zhan Yu suddenly slaps his thigh, "Oh, and I haven't even had a chance to check the seal."
"I'll go!"
The seal at the bottom pool is far from simple. Su Tingyun certainly can't let her injured master take any more risks. She holds the Springwater Sword and enters the pool, only to find that the flying swords that were once standing upright and suspended in the water are now scattered all over the pool bottom, and the original sword formation has completely disappeared.
The broadsword from the pool's seal is also missing; indeed, Little Uncle has taken this sword.
At present, she doesn't sense any abnormalities down here. Su Tingyun and her sword approach slowly, her footsteps light and silent, not making the slightest disturbance. But as she gets closer, the Springwater Sword begins to vibrate steadily, and even she cannot restrain it.
Just like before, the Springwater Sword then trembles violently, as if trying to break free from her control, and Su Tingyun can barely hold onto it.
Now that the ring recognizes her as the owner, and the Springwater Sword is a part of the five elements within the ring, Su Tingyun's emotional connection to the Sword is deeper. When Little Uncle mentioned that the sword has a spirit that carries heavy killing intent, and must therefore be cultivated properly, she believed it at the time. But now, Su Tingyun can clearly feel that it's not just pure killing intent; there's also pain and anger.
The closer she gets to the center of the seal, the stronger the murderous intent becomes.
Even though she's now at Mahayana, and is much stronger than before, she still feels her heart beating faster and her hairs standing on end. Fortunately, she isn’t being greatly affected by the spiritual influence at the moment. However, Su Tingyun thinks of her Little Uncle, who had been experiencing this intense killing intent at the bottom of the lake every day. It's inevitable that it would affect him.
And then, influenced by this murderous aura and hostility, riddling his heard with demons, did it lead to him cutting down fellow disciples, even attempting to murder his master? The Springwater Sword seems to have always been hostile to Little Uncle. When she first acquired the sword, it even tried to assassinate him at the bottom of the pool, and just a few days ago, it cut Little Uncle’s sword in two.
Is it because the sword has been detecting something unusual about Little Uncle?
Su Tingyun continues forward until she reaches the original position of the Springwater Sword. When she discovered the sword back then, its entire blade was deeply embedded in the bottom of the lake, only a tiny part of the hilt exposed, which pierced the sole of her foot.
That thin pit is still there, and Su Tingyun lowers her head to take a look. Suddenly, the Springwater Sword in her hand breaks free and plunges back into the deep hole, causing the sword's body to hum and then forcefully rise, directly slicing out from the depths of the pool's bottom.
The burrow at the floor of the Cleansing Sword Lake shakes, as if something is about to emerge from the depths. The flying swords piled under the lake all rattle in unison, emitting a buzzing sound that makes the water in the pool bubble as if it's boiling.
A furious roar emanates from beneath the seal-- a dragon's roar, so loud that even the deaf could hear it. This causes the flying swords down there to all shatter into tiny fragments. But Su Tingyun's Springwater Sword remains unaffected. She even hears the Springwater Sword emit a humming sound similar to a dragon's roar, as if responding to the louder counterpart.
