Chapter 62: Underworld Jade

By the time Gao Dakuan and Zhang Nuo reached the side of the man in black, he had already been dead for some time; the three Flying Swords from before had already pierced his heart, and the few swords that followed were completely redundant!

With a movement of his Divine Sense, Zhang Nuo retracted the Flying Swords into his Sword Box. Lowering his body, Zhang Nuo began to search the man in black. Other than a Storage Bag, there was absolutely nothing else on this man in black.

Gao Dakuan picked up the Flying Sword used by the man in black, looked around the surroundings, and said:

"We had better leave here first! If another man in black comes, I won't have any way to deal with him!"

Both being at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, Gao Dakuan was not a Dual Spirit Sea Cultivator. The battle within the Divine Sword Sect had already consumed a great deal of his Spirit Power, and now, having killed a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator, it was even more than he could handle.

Zhang Nuo nodded, and the two of them steered their Magic Treasures and flew off into the distance! After flying for nearly a day, the two of them finally landed on the ground. With his Divine Sense fully expanded, he felt there was no danger in the vicinity, and only then did they sit down under a large tree.

"I wonder how Master and the others are doing?"

Gao Dakuan was panting slightly, and his large hands were trembling a little. It had been nearly two days since the war broke out in the sect and they had fled, and during these two days, he had been constantly outputting Spirit Power; his body was now on the verge of collapse!

Looking at Zhang Nuo, he was much better off. With a long sigh, Zhang Nuo shook his head helplessly; he also did not know how Master was doing. After Lin Fan and Xiao Jingxuan unleashed 'Li Water Burning Heaven', they had escaped the Divine Sword Sect, and in the process of fleeing, they had become separated from Qu Yuan, Ye Ling'er, and the others. Now, there were only him and Gao Dakuan left.

"I wonder if Qu Yuan and Junior Sister escaped?"

With his head lowered, Gao Dakuan said in a deep voice once again.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother! Didn't we all escape together? They should be fine!"

In truth, Zhang Nuo did not know how the two were doing either, but seeing Gao Dakuan so heartbroken, he spoke words of comfort.

"I hope so!"

Looking up at the sky, Gao Dakuan blinked his eyes powerlessly.

"Right, let's see what's in the man in black's Storage Bag?"

Zhang Nuo seemed to have remembered something; he reached out and unfastened the man in black's Storage Bag from his waist, filled his fingers with Spirit Power, and reached right inside.

When Zhang Nuo took out the items inside one by one, both of them were somewhat disappointed. Apart from over a hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones and a Jade Token, there was nothing else in the Storage Bag.

Zhang Nuo and the others naturally had no interest in the Spirit Stones, but this Jade Token was very special. Zhang Nuo held it in his hand and examined it for a long time, but could not discern any mystery.

The Jade Token was only half the size of a palm, square and upright. One side was carved with very strange characters, while the other side had a large 'Ming' character written on it!

"Ming! Great Underworld Mansion! Could this be a token that proves their identity?"

Zhang Nuo handed the Jade Token to Gao Dakuan, but Gao Dakuan did not take it. He just glanced at it and then shook his head lightly. For one, he did not understand what this Jade Token was for, and for another, he was in no mood to study this Jade Token right now!

Seeing that Gao Dakuan had no interest at all, Zhang Nuo had no choice but to put everything away, then sat cross-legged and began to rest!

Three days later, both of their bodies had recovered quite a bit. The wound the man in black had left on Gao Dakuan's arm was also completely healed by this time!

"Where are we going next?"

Zhang Nuo stood up and looked at Gao Dakuan.

"According to Master's instructions, let's go to the Song Family in the Nanchao Kingdom! Perhaps Qu Yuan and the others have already gone there!"

Gao Dakuan also stood up and stretched his limbs.

Aside from the Divine Sword Sect, Zhang Nuo did not know of any other places, so he had to follow Gao Dakuan now. The two of them steered their Magic Treasures and flew rapidly toward the direction of the Nanchao Kingdom.

The place where the Divine Sword Sect was located was a small country called Dibei. It was adjacent to the Nanchao Kingdom, and at the flying speed of these two, they could enter the Nanchao Kingdom in about two days.

Along the way, Zhang Nuo always had a question he could not figure out: what exactly was the relationship between the Song Family and Lin Fan? Why did Lin Fan tell his disciples that as long as the Song Family was in trouble, they must help no matter how dangerous it was?

"Senior Brother, what exactly is the relationship between the Song Family and Master?"

"That is a long story!"

After several days of recuperation, Gao Dakuan's mood was much better than before. He sighed lightly and said:

"Back then, Master attained the position of Chief Disciple, and the sect valued him extremely highly, giving him the best resources. Master, the old man, did not disappoint, and after thirty years, he successfully formed his Golden Core! This news once caused a sensation, and at the time, everyone in the sect believed he would definitely be the next Sect Master of the Divine Sword Sect!"

Hearing this, Zhang Nuo was even more confused. How could a genius like Lin Fan be in his current state? When he first saw Lin Fan, he was like a drunkard who could never stay sober, soaking himself in a vat of wine every day.

"But things did not develop as people had expected. At that time, there were two divine swords in the sect; one was the 'Lishui Sword' used by Master, and the second was the 'Burning Heaven Sword' used by Junior Uncle Xiao! These two swords were left behind by the founding patriarch Deng Tianlin. If the two used these swords at the same time, they would unleash the 'Li Water Burning Heaven' technique."

"That's the one Master and the others used before!"

Hearing this, Zhang Nuo immediately recalled the scene where Lin Fan and Xiao Jingxuan attacked at the same time above the Divine Sword Sect.

"Yes, that is the move! However, the 'Li Water Burning Heaven' you saw was not complete!"

"What does the complete one look like!"

Zhang Nuo was somewhat shocked. The momentum of the 'Li Water Burning Heaven' he had seen was already terrifying; he truly could not imagine what a complete 'Li Water Burning Heaven' would look like.

Ignoring Zhang Nuo's shock, Gao Dakuan continued:

"The Lishui Sword and the Burning Heaven Sword must be used by Dual Cultivation partners to unleash their true power! And Master and Junior Uncle Xiao are not Dual Cultivation partners!"

A strange light flashed in Zhang Nuo's eyes; things were becoming more and more interesting!
