Legend of Swordsman

....

In a dimly lit chamber, as Jian Wushuang departed from the Wu Family Mansion, Wu Li also returned to the Wu Family Sword Tomb through the teleportation array.

Both of them had secret matters to attend to, and neither delayed the other.

However, Jian Wushuang’s affair had little to do with the Sacred Assembly.

Leaving the Wu Family Mansion, Jian Wushuang’s appearance subtly changed. He quietly followed the two Emperors after locking onto them with his thought power.

They headed outside the capital of the Yue Kingdom.

On a warship, the two Emperors left the capital without deliberate flight. Instead, they brought out a massive warship, preparing to depart aboard it.

This surprised Jian Wushuang.

Both of them had been detained by the Yue Kingdom previously. Now, instead of hastily leaving, they leisurely boarded a warship.

When things deviate from the norm, there’s usually something sinister at play.

Jian Wushuang became even more cautious, his physical body transformed into particles as he adhered to the warship through the void.

This warship was an exquisite Eternal Treasure, not particularly powerful. Jian Wushuang directly enveloped the entire warship with his thought power, observing every move clearly.

Aside from the two Emperors, there were many maids on the warship.

They seemed to be exotic maids.

These two certainly knew how to indulge themselves.

They were currently bathing in the cabin.

Jian Wushuang had no interest in peeping at others bathing. After scanning the entire warship with his thought power, he lurked and waited for the two’s actions, eavesdropping on their conversation.

“Nikun, are you sure that person called Jian Wushuang possesses the power Lord Babidi mentioned?”

“Sang Biao, when have I ever lied to you? I’m very familiar with that power. Lord Babidi injected that power into my body back then, causing my strength to skyrocket!”

The words of Nikun and Sang Biao made Jian Wushuang frown slightly.

Babidi, he seemed to have never heard of him.

But judging from the two’s respectful manner, he should be a super powerhouse in the Tribulation Realm.

At least a Universe Master above the Four Tribulation realm.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for these two to be so deferential.

Just mentioning the name had to include the term ‘Lord’.

From their conversation, it seemed that the power these two possessed did not belong to them but came from that Babidi.

And he also sensed a familiar aura from him!

Jian Wushuang’s eyes flickered as he speculated inwardly, “Could it be the power of Life?”

Very likely!

But the power emanating from these two individuals was the power of Death.

This was quite strange.

Jian Wushuang was also filled with curiosity about Babidi.

At the very least, the other party seemed to be aware of the existence of both the power of Death and the power of Life.

Not simple!

Jian Wushuang remained still, continuing to observe.

If luck was on his side, these two individuals would probably go to find Babidi.

After all, if they discovered the power of Life on him, they might inform the formidable figure known as Babidi.

Having finished bathing, Nikun casually put on a loose robe and relaxed in his guest room.

It seemed Sang Biao had no such intention, merely waiting outside the door.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Nikun emerged from the room.

As for the alien girl inside the room, only a skeleton remained.

Red powder skeleton, that’s what they called it.

“Your time is getting shorter and shorter!” Sang Biao mocked.

Nikun didn’t seem to mind. He found a seat directly and gestured for those alien girls to leave before getting straight to the point, saying, “Jian Wushuang’s strength is too formidable. Now that he’s become the son-in-law of the Yue King, it’s not easy to make a move against him!”

“Hehe, all we need to do is inform Lord Babidi of this news. He will surely grant us considerable power when the time comes!” Sang Biao said nonchalantly.

Both of them were originally ordinary members of their respective families, but ever since encountering Babidi, their strength had suddenly skyrocketed.

They soared to become the pride of their family.

But even with the treasures bestowed by the family, they still felt unsatisfied.

They could only rely on the esteemed Lord Babidi.

Especially when they discovered such a powerful Emperor among their peers, greed consumed their hearts even more, desiring to become stronger.

“Let’s return to the family first for preparations, then go pay respects to Lord Babidi!”

“No problem!”

Once they had made up their minds, they each began their respective cultivation.

Jian Wushuang was quite curious about their cultivation progress. When they fully immersed themselves in cultivation, their divine power had already undergone a subtle transformation.

Within their divine power, Death lurked.

These two fools were being manipulated without even realizing it.

If they continued to cultivate like this, they would surely explode and perish.

The warship flew on, quickly leaving Yue Kingdom behind.

To reach the Yongheng Kingdom, they still needed to cross two more kingdoms.

It would probably take about a month, but Jian Wushuang was not in a hurry.

If he pushed himself, he could return to Yue Kingdom in three days.

Time was ample.

But there was one thing: should he accompany these two when they visited Babidi?

If he was discovered, it would be over for him.

If he didn’t go, he could only control these two first, then attempt soul searching.

But Jian Wushuang’s intuition told him that soul searching would be useless.

These two knew too little.

He could only take one risk.

If the other party’s strength exceeded the Five Tribulation realm, it would be very difficult for him not to be discovered.

If it was below the Five Tribulation realm, there was still some hope.

By then, he would have to send a clone, not risking his main self.

If the clone perished, his main self would need to flee with all his might.

Thinking this through, Jian Wushuang’s main self, carrying a considerable amount of treasures, began to separate.

Before the warship entered the Yongheng Kingdom, Jian Wushuang’s main self stayed within the borders of the Saluo Kingdom, which bordered both Yue Kingdom and the Yongheng Kingdom.

In fact, his clone wasn’t much different from his main self.

It was just the power of the Beast God that was lacking.

The Beast God’s power was within his main body, so his clone couldn’t wield it.

However, he still possessed the power of the Starry Sky.

Before separating from his clone, he infused all the power of the Starry Sky within him.

It could maintain its peak state for an hour.

But it couldn’t be replenished afterwards.

Only an hour’s time.

Once that time passed, his clone would be left with only 100,000-fold divine power, just like an ordinary Tribulation Realm being.

Not even the air could pose a threat.

By then, Jian Wushuang would also willingly give up.

Phew!

Jian Wushuang’s main body transformed into a blade of grass, falling onto the lush green grassland, trampled upon by wolves, just as resilient as ordinary grass.

The clone, on the other hand, entered the Yongheng Kingdom.

The moment Jian Wushuang entered the Yongheng Kingdom, he felt a powerful bloodline force.

It was the aura of the Yongheng Clan.

This was an extremely mysterious group.

Considered a branch of the human race, they were a type of post-natal variant.

The ancestor who opened the Yongheng Kingdom was a powerhouse at the Half-Step Eight Tribulation realm.

Now, he was probably either fallen or trapped in slumber.

That ancestor created the Yongheng Clan, which flourished from the era of the fall of the Celestial Maidens to the present day, still thriving.

It’s said that the current king of the Yongheng Kingdom is a Universe Master at the Six Tribulation realm.
