Chapter 475

Great Qin, Lord Dongjun, Mohist hiding place.

Originally, Yan Dan was communicating with Ximen Ximen Chuixue about Ximen Ximen Chuixue’s journey from the Great Ming Jianghu to Great Qin Lord Dongjun.

For Ximen Ximen Chuixue, Yan Dan liked him more the more he looked at him; he felt that with Ximen Ximen Chuixue’s pursuit of the sword path, he might be able to surpass the Great Qin Sword Saint, Gai Nie, in the future.

As long as Yan Dan found a way to narrow the distance between Ximen Ximen Chuixue and their Mohist school, and then firmly grasped Ximen Ximen Chuixue in the hands of the Mohist school.

Then the strength of his anti-Qin forces would inevitably increase greatly, and perhaps he would really be able to overthrow the violent Qin by then.

After all, in Yan Dan’s cognition, the strongest combat power of Great Qin was the Great Qin guardian god, Wu'an Lord Bai Qi.

Yan Dan believed that as long as he gave Gai Nie and the Ximen Ximen Chuixue in front of him time to grow, it wouldn't be long before the two would definitely be able to grow into the terrifying realm of the Land Immortal*Heavenly Human realm!

Just when Yan Dan was still planning for the future blueprint, a feeling of extremely intense death suddenly appeared in Yan Dan’s heart.

In just a short instant, Yan Dan was tortured by this feeling of approaching death, feeling that he was about to be erased, and his face turned pale.

And several cold sweats the size of soybeans fell on Yan Dan’s forehead.

Beside Yan Dan, Ximen Ximen Chuixue did not react as violently as Yan Dan, but he was only just barely able to keep his hand gripped around his sword.

This was the Sword Heart he had forged after wandering on the edge of death countless times while challenging sword cultivators stronger than himself.

Even if the disparity in strength was vast, Ximen Ximen Chuixue still possessed the courage to hold the sword in his hand.

Just as this feeling had not lasted long, the Famous Sword Ranking, which had been silent for a long time in the sky, suddenly erupted with various visions.

Only after the light from the Famous Sword Ranking shone upon their territory did the feeling of death lingering in the hearts of Yan Dan and Ximen Ximen Chuixue slowly dissipate.

"What exactly just happened?!"

Yan Dan asked Ximen Ximen Chuixue, still shaken.

In Ximen Ximen Chuixue's heart, when he had just felt death approaching, he had only sensed an extremely terrifying sword intent.

However, he did not speak of this to Yan Dan, because Ximen Ximen Chuixue himself was not sure if the sword intent he had felt—which seemed capable of annihilating the Nine Provinces—was merely a hallucination.

"Perhaps it was the Famous Sword Ranking."

Ximen Ximen Chuixue looked up at the Famous Sword Ranking in the sky, which was erupting with various visions, and spoke.

Hearing Ximen Ximen Chuixue's words, Yan Dan finally noticed the changes on the Famous Sword Ranking.

After the Famous Sword Ranking slowly introduced the Emperor-Slaying Sword, Ximen Ximen Chuixue's eyes were filled with yearning.

He desperately wanted to witness the true splendor of this divine sword, which was said to be able to slay everything.

Furthermore, Ximen Ximen Chuixue secretly resolved in his heart that he must find an opportunity to challenge Ying Ying Ziyu, who not only dominated the top of the Nine Provinces Heaven's Pride Ranking but now also possessed the Emperor-Slaying Sword, the number one divine object on the Famous Sword Ranking.

"I wonder what kind of demeanor this Ying Ying Ziyu, who tops the Heaven's Pride Ranking, will have while wielding the Emperor-Slaying Sword."

Endless longing appeared in Ximen Ximen Chuixue's eyes as he spoke slowly in his heart.

Meanwhile, Yan Dan, who was beside Ximen Ximen Chuixue, had a completely different expression.

At this moment, Yan Dan's eyes were filled with jealousy and hatred.

The more Yan Dan read the Famous Sword Ranking's introduction to the Emperor-Slaying Sword, the more resentful he felt in his heart.

"Why?!! Why is it the Great Qin again?!"

"Why does the Heavenly Dao favor the Great Qin so much?!"

"Clearly, the tyrannical Qin has committed so many wrongs that have angered both heaven and man; clearly, the tyrannical Qin built its regime by stepping on the corpses of the other six states. Why must the Heavenly Dao favor the Great Qin so much!!!"

"A divine weapon as powerful as the Emperor-Slaying Sword should belong to those of us who oppose the Qin!!!"

"It should belong to me!"

Looking at the Famous Sword Ranking in the sky, the Mohist Leader Yan Dan seemed to have become possessed; his eyes gradually turned red, and he roared uncontrollably.

Upon hearing Yan Dan's words and seeing his appearance, a trace of displeasure arose in Ximen Ximen Chuixue's heart.

At this moment, Ximen Ximen Chuixue felt he needed to change his opinion of Yan Dan.

Although Ximen Ximen Chuixue did not know why Yan Dan hated the Great Qin so much, his expression after seeing the Famous Sword Ranking revealed the dark side of Yan Dan's heart to Ximen Ximen Chuixue.

"It seems this Yan Dan is not as concerned about the world as he appears. After Ge Nie leaves seclusion and I finish sparring with him, I will go find Wei Zhuang."

Ximen Ximen Chuixue resolved in his heart.

Just as Yan Dan was still cursing the Great Qin, a brilliant sword light suddenly erupted from a place not far from them.

This sword light was like a long rainbow, shooting straight into the sky from the inn where they were staying, and it did not dissipate for a long time.

After sensing this power, Yan Dan gradually recovered from his possessed state.

Thinking of how he had acted in front of Ximen Ximen Chuixue just now, Yan Dan's old face could not help but flush.

However, to avoid embarrassment, Yan Dan coughed twice before saying to Ximen Ximen Chuixue:

"Brother Ximen, that sword qi just now was the aura of the Great Qin Sword Saint Ge Nie, whom you are looking for."

"It seems Ge Nie has successfully left seclusion now; you and I should go find him."

Without waiting for Ximen Ximen Chuixue to recover, Yan Dan took the lead and walked slowly toward the direction of Ge Nie's room.

Seeing this, Ximen Ximen Chuixue followed behind.

On the other side, ever since Ge Nie successfully grasped the power Wei Zhuang had touched upon during their battle, he had erupted with a burst of sword qi that shot straight into the clouds.

After the sword qi slowly dissipated, Ge Nie opened his eyes.

As Ge Nie opened his eyes, Seeing Guiguzi appeared directly before him.

Seeing Seeing Guiguzi, Ge Nie was slightly stunned for a moment, then he got off the bed and cupped his hands toward Seeing Guiguzi:

"Master."

Ge Nie felt very surprised by Seeing Guiguzi's appearance.

Because ever since Ge Nie left the Guigu Sect all those years ago, he had never seen Seeing Guiguzi again.

Now that Seeing Guiguzi had suddenly appeared before him, Ge Nie did not understand at all what had happened.

Seeing Ge Nie's respectful demeanor, Seeing Guiguzi nodded with great satisfaction.

Compared to Wei Zhuang, Ge Nie was indeed very respectful to his teacher.

"The reason I came to find you this time is to have you inherit the final legacy of our Vertical and Horizontal School's Guigu Sect!"

Seeing Guiguzi looked into Ge Nie's eyes and spoke slowly.

Hearing Seeing Guiguzi's words, Ge Nie was even more shocked.

Ge Nie did not understand why Seeing Guiguzi had chosen him.

"Then I might disappoint you. Last time I fought with Xiao Zhuang, I was inferior in skill and lost."

"In the end, if Xiao Zhuang hadn't held back, perhaps I would have been dead long ago."

"Even if the Guigu legacy is to be accepted, it should be Xiao Zhuang who accepts it."

After pondering for a moment, Ge Nie said to Seeing Guiguzi with an apologetic tone; Ge Nie felt in his heart that he had failed Seeing Guiguzi's expectations.

Seeing Guiguzi had actually already anticipated Ge Nie's current answer.

Ge Nie had been this stubborn since he was a child, which made Seeing Guiguzi feel a bit helpless.

Subsequently, Seeing Guiguzi explained the situation to Ge Nie, telling him that Wei Zhuang was unwilling to accept the Guigu legacy, and that now that the Guigu legacy had been activated, if no one accepted it, it would fall into a dormant state.

"Just consider it helping your master. If you don't accept the Guigu legacy now, the Guigu legacy might be severed in my generation!"

Seeing Guiguzi said to Ge Nie with great helplessness, a hint of pleading even in his eyes.
