Chapter 2068: Chapter 2071: A Friendly Match

”Whether or not Yiqiu takes interest in Ruoxue, it depends on Ruoxue’s destiny. To not be stopped by Yiqiu at the foot of the mountain and to see Yiqiu once more, I would be content!”

Ouyang Song sighed.

”Alright, I will take the two of you there.”

Jian Cangqiong stood up, took two array talismans from his ring, and handed them to Ouyang Song.

Ouyang Song, aware of the traits of Southern Maniac Mountain, reached out to take the talismans, handing one to Ouyang Ruoxue.

The five of them rose and simultaneously walked out of the hall, heading toward Southern Maniac Mountain.

At the peak of Southern Maniac Mountain.

At this time, Hu Yiqiu and Li Yukun were playing chess on a stone table. They occasionally glanced at Jiang Chen’s wooden hut, where the Great Dao aura was slowly dissipating, indicating that Jiang Chen, who was cultivating inside, was about to awaken.

Swish, swish, swish!

Five figures landed in front of the steps at the mountaintop, slowly approaching the two people playing chess.

Hu Yiqiu looked up, a peculiar light flashing in his eyes. He stood up, his face calm as he watched Ouyang Song approach.

”Elder Ouyang.”

Li Yukun stood up and greeted Ouyang Song, casting a complex glance at Hu Yiqiu.

”Wine-crazed brother, it has been nearly a hundred years since we last met. How have you been?”

Ouyang Song approached the stone table, a look of guilt flashing in his eyes.

Noticing the guilt in Ouyang Song’s eyes, Hu Yiqiu sighed gently, gesturing towards a stone chair: ”Ouyang... my brother, have a seat!”

The word ”brother” caused Ouyang Song’s expression to tremble. He was overjoyed, nodding repeatedly: ”Good! Good!”

Everyone sat down, and Hu Yiqiu glanced at Ouyang Ruoxue behind Ouyang Song, sensing for an instant and understanding the purpose of Ouyang Song’s visit.

”If not for her, you wouldn’t have come to my Southern Maniac Mountain, would you?”

Hu Yiqiu spoke softly, his tone carrying a hint of self-mockery.

”Wine-crazed brother, it’s not that I didn’t want to come, but I had no face to see you! Back then, I was the one who advised you and your younger sister to... sigh!”

Ouyang Song spoke with a guilty expression.

”A hundred years... No! Ninety-seven years have passed, and it’s about to start again!”

Hu Yiqiu murmured, looking up at the sky, a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes: ”I’ve waited for this day for too long!”

”Yiqiu my brother, that person has already reached the late Integration Realm stage, you...”

Ouyang Song’s eyes revealed a trace of reluctance, unable to finish his words.

”Ouyang my brother wants me to accept her as a disciple, right?”

Wine-crazed changed the subject, glancing at Ouyang Ruoxue.

”Wine-crazed brother, I’m just taking this opportunity to see you. If you think she’s not suitable to join your doors, I have no complaints.”

Ouyang Song spoke softly.

Ouyang Ruoxue looked at Ouyang Song, her eyes filled with a touch of confusion, along with a hint of defiance.

She understood Ouyang Song’s words clearly, implying that her aptitude might not be up to Hu Yiqiu’s standards!

”Let’s wait and see whether she stays. It depends on the boy in the hut.”

Hu Yiqiu glanced at the wooden hut and spoke softly.

Ouyang Song was momentarily stunned, then understood, glancing at the wooden hut and waited quietly.

...

Inside the wooden hut.

The wooden carving emanated strands of green light, slowly flying towards the center of Jiang Chen’s forehead.

Jiang Chen’s complexion remained as usual, the Great Dao aura around him was completely restrained, and an ethereal aura emerged.

Whoosh!

A stream of light flashed, and the wooden carving entered Jiang Chen’s forehead, as he slowly opened his eyes.

”Another source of the power of the Great Dao. It seems that I’m not far from comprehending the Wuying Sword Path!”

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, glanced out the window, then stood up and walked towards the door.

Click!

The wooden door of the hut opened, and everyone in the courtyard looked towards Jiang Chen.

”Greetings to the Headmaster, greetings to all the elders!”

Jiang Chen cupped his fists and saluted the crowd before stepping forward to stand behind Hu Yiqiu.

”Boy, how was your cultivation? Did you comprehend the power of the source of the Great Dao?”

Hu Yiqiu turned his head to look at Jiang Chen, a satisfied smile flickering in his eyes. With such a disciple, he was genuinely happy from the bottom of his heart.

”I’ve already condensed the Wood Path source power of the Great Dao.”

Jiang Chen replied softly.

During his breakthrough a few days ago, Hu Yiqiu had helped isolate the Great Dao aura, and Jiang Chen was aware of it. Thus, he only mentioned the source power of the Wood Path of the Great Dao.

”Oh?”

Hu Yiqiu’s eyes brightened, turning to Li Yukun with a laugh: ”Haha... you old ghost, you’ve been comprehending for over a hundred years without success. Yet in just a few days, my disciple has condensed the power of the Great Dao. Well? Do you accept?”

”I do! I do!”

Li Yukun replied with a bitter smile.

How could he not? This is truly a legitimate successor!

With the thought of recognizing a master, he glanced around at the crowd, mumbling silently to himself to wait until there were fewer people before proceeding.

”Wood Path?”

Ouyang Song looked at Jiang Chen in surprise, puzzled as he glanced at Hu Yiqiu.

”What? Who said that a disciple of mine, Hu Yiqiu, could only comprehend the Way of Water and Sword Dao? My eldest disciple Yun Tao also comprehends the Earth Path and Sword Dao!”

Hu Yiqiu gave Ouyang Song a sidelong glance and then offered a mysterious smile: ”But this boy is different.”

Hmm?

Ouyang Song was momentarily surprised but seeing Hu Yiqiu not offering further explanation, he turned his attention to scrutinize Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen, at the same time, was also observing Ouyang Song and Ouyang Ruoxue, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Why is there animosity in this girl’s eyes?

”Boy, have you fused the Wood Path with the Sword Dao?”

Hu Yiqiu asked once more.

”Fused!”

”Alright then, spar with this girl using only the fusion of the Wood Path and Sword Dao.”

Wine-crazed gestured towards Ouyang Ruoxue.

”Uh?”

Jiang Chen was momentarily stunned.

Whoosh!

Without saying a word, Ouyang Ruoxue leaped onto the empty field in the courtyard. With a stretch of her hand, a pale blue longsword appeared.

”Oh, the Bihan Sword! Ouyang my brother, you pamper this girl so much that you even exchanged for her the Spirit Treasure Level Divine Weapon from the academy.”

Hu Yiqiu commented in surprise.

”I have only one granddaughter; how can I not treat her well?”

Ouyang Song chuckled lightly.

”This...”

Hu Yiqiu hesitated for a moment, then turned to Jiang Chen: ”Boy, old man takes you as a disciple for quite a while now, yet hasn’t given you a gift. It’s time today!”

Swish!

As soon as he said that, Hu Yiqiu tapped his wine gourd, and the cork automatically popped off. A stream of wine with a pristine aura flew out, transforming into a longsword with a faint wine fragrance.

”Old drunkard, you really are generous!”

Li Yukun exclaimed in surprise.

Jian Cangqiong and the others were all taken aback, their gazes on Jiang Chen filled with envy.

Jiang Chen looked at the longsword and, without accepting it, smiled: ”Master, this must be your sword?”

”Now it’s yours!”

Hu Yiqiu gently nodded.

”You better keep it; I fear I might get drunk using it too much.”

Jiang Chen grinned, stretched out his hand, and a Spiritual Divine Weapon longsword appeared.

This was the last Divine Weapon he had, as the rest had been returned to the Shadowless Sword Emperor’s tomb as a favor.

”Boy, are you not satisfied?”

Hu Yiqiu feigned anger.
