Chapter 378: Gathering at the Tiandi Yijian Ku

Ning Ke took Shuxiang and hurried to Yangzhou without a moment's rest; fortunately, at this time, Chen Jingchou and the others were still taking Jianchi around in search of medical help.

After arriving in Yangzhou, Ning Ke immediately used a secret technique of the Demon Race to locate Chen Jingchou and the others.

At this moment, Chen Jingchou and the others were in an inn, and Yu Xiaoxue was sitting by the bedside, diligently caring for Jianchi.

It would have been fine if she hadn't looked, but once she did, trouble arose; Ning Ke saw Yu Xiaoxue caring for Jianchi with such deep affection.

A woman's intuition told Ning Ke that she must get rid of this Nuwa Descendant as soon as possible, otherwise, sooner or later, trouble would befall her and Yuwen Tuo.

Ning Ke and Shuxiang instantly transformed into the appearance of Daoist nuns and arrived at the inn where Chen Jingchou and the others were staying.

Ning Ke and Shuxiang deliberately carried a portrait of Jianchi and inquired about his whereabouts from everyone in the inn.

At this moment, Chen Jingchou happened to come down for hot water and ran right into Ning Ke and Shuxiang, who were asking about Jianchi.

Ning Ke spoke up:

"Greetings, elder brother, may I ask if you have seen the person in this portrait?"

Seeing the portrait of Jianchi in Ning Ke's hand, Chen Jingchou asked with a cautious expression:

"I don't know this person.

Who are you to him?

Looking at you, you seem to be in quite a hurry?"

Ning Ke replied:

"The person in the portrait is my senior brother, Jianchi. I am his junior sister, Jianshuang, and this is our junior sister, Shuxiang.

The life-lamp that Senior Brother Jianchi left in our Cave Abode suddenly dimmed, and our master is worried that something has happened to him.

After some divination, our master discovered that he was in Yangzhou, so we were sent to find his whereabouts."

After hearing Ning Ke's words, Chen Jingchou said excitedly:

"So you are Senior Brother Jianchi's junior sisters.

To tell you the truth, I am a good brother of his. Right now, he is upstairs; please, come with me!"

Chen Jingchou thought to himself:

"This is truly a case of 'when the mountains and rivers seem to end, there is no path, but then the willows are dark and the flowers are bright, and there is another village.'

We were searching everywhere for Senior Brother Jianchi's sect, never expecting them to come to us personally.

Senior Brother Jianchi is saved; you must hold on, Senior Brother Jianchi."

Chen Jingchou excitedly led Ning Ke and Shuxiang upstairs, while Shuxiang and Ning Ke exchanged a smile without Chen Jingchou noticing, as their plan began to be slowly implemented.

Chen Jingchou pushed open the room door and said to Yu Xiaoxue and Taba Yu'er:

"Xiaoxue, Yu'er, look! Who has come!"

Yu Xiaoxue and Taba Yu'er looked suspiciously at Ning Ke and Shuxiang appearing behind Chen Jingchou, and Taba Yu'er asked:

"Dahuang, why do you bring just anyone here?

Do you not have any sense of security?"

Chen Jingchou replied with a haughty air:

"What would a broom like you know?

These two are Senior Brother Jianchi's junior sisters; this is Junior Sister Jianshuang, and this is Junior Sister Shuxiang.

They learned from their sect that Senior Brother Jianchi had met with trouble and came out to help him."

Upon hearing this, Taba Yu'er and Yu Xiaoxue were incredibly excited, and Yu Xiaoxue spoke up:

"Senior Brother Jianchi is saved!

Miss Jianshuang, Miss Shuxiang, please come and take a look at Senior Brother Jianchi."

Ning Ke and Shuxiang immediately ran to the bedside, looking at Yuwen Tuo lying there unconscious, and Ning Ke said with a pained expression:

"Senior Brother, how are you?

Senior Brother, are you alright?"

Watching the pained Ning Ke, Chen Jingchou and Taba Yu'er also felt a wave of sadness in their hearts.

Chen Jingchou and Taba Yu'er had absolutely no suspicions regarding Ning Ke's identity.

The fact that Jianchi had met with trouble had not been spread to outsiders, and Jianchi had no enemies, so they would never suspect the true identities of the two women.

Chen Jingchou said:

"Miss Jianshuang, Miss Shuxiang, we previously asked a senior about Senior Brother Jianchi's condition, and he said it was very complicated.

It is possible that only by taking him to the place deepest in his memory can he be awakened.

We thought that for Senior Brother Jianchi, the place with his deepest impressions must be where he grew up.

But we couldn't find where the Qiyun Mountain Qiongchang Cave Abode was; now that you are here, it will be easy, and Senior Brother Jianchi is saved."

Shuxiang and Ning Ke exchanged a glance, both knowing this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

For Yuwen Tuo, the place with his deepest impressions was none other than the Tiandi Yijian Ku.

It was there that he obtained the peerless Xuanyuan Sword, and it was there that he was forced to take Yang Su as his master; one could say the Tiandi Yijian Ku was the turning point of Yuwen Tuo's Destiny.

Ning Ke and Shuxiang had originally come with the intention of taking Jianchi to the Tiandi Yijian Ku to complete their plan to trap and kill Yang Su.

Ning Ke spoke up:

"Very well, since that is the case, let us head to Qiyun Mountain immediately."

Chen Jingchou said:

"Very well, Miss Jianshuang!"

Ning Ke waved her hand and said:

"No need to be so formal; you are all friends of my senior brother, just call me Jianshuang!

By the way, I don't know how to address you all yet?"

Upon hearing that he needed to introduce the others, Chen Jingchou immediately walked in front of everyone with a proud air and introduced them:

"This is the Second Princess of Taba, Taba Yu'er; this is Nuwa's Daughter, Yu Xiaoxue; and as for me, I am a prince of the Chen Dynasty and also the Earth Emperor. My name is Chen Jingchou."

Hearing Chen Jingchou's self-introduction, Ning Ke and Shuxiang revealed a smile on their faces.

This useless prince really had given himself a very big hat to wear.

Ning Ke suppressed her laughter and said:

"Very well, Brother Jing Chou, Yu'er, and Xiaoxue.

There is no time to lose; we shall go to Qiyun Mountain immediately and have Master take action to save our Senior Brother."

Thus, the five of them took Jianchi, boarded a carriage, and galloped toward Tiandi Yijian Ku.

While setting off, Ning Ke also gave Shuxiang a signal with her eyes, instructing her to send a message to Yang Su so that Yang Su could cooperate with them to complete this plan.

At this moment, inside the Situ Gong Mansion, Yang Su suddenly opened his eyes; he waved his hand casually, and a long string of characters immediately appeared before him.

"Jianchi has been injured by the Shennong Cauldron and needs to return to the Qiongchang Cave Abode on Qiyun Mountain to recover his memories.

Ning Ke and I are posing as Yuwen Tuo's junior sisters to bring him to Tiandi Yijian Ku.

This is a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity to obtain the Xuanyuan Sword; please, Master, hurry to Tiandi Yijian Ku and disguise it as the Qiongchang Cave Abode.

Master, you shall pose as Taiyi Zhenren, and we will take the opportunity to use Yuwen Tuo to summon the Xuanyuan Sword!"

After reading Shuxiang's message, Yang Su laughed heartily:

"Hahahaha, Shuxiang's efficiency is truly fast.

Someone, come with me to Tiandi Yijian Ku!"

Yang Su immediately took his two lackeys and rode the Qiongqi toward the Heaven and Earth Sword Vault.

Riding the ancient fierce beast Qiongqi, the three of them soon arrived at the Heaven and Earth Sword Vault.

Yang Su looked at Tiandi Yijian Ku, raised his hand, and with a wave, transformed Tiandi Yijian Ku into a Daoist temple.

The words "Qiongchang Cave Abode" were clearly written on the temple, and Yang Su transformed himself into a Daoist priest holding a horsetail whisk, while his two lackeys also turned into his two young Daoist acolytes.

Yang Su spoke:

"Very well, from now on you must address me as Master.

Once I obtain the Xuanyuan Sword, Yuwen Tuo will be yours to deal with, allowing you to avenge your deep hatred."

These two lackeys were the two generals whose arms had previously been severed by Yuwen Tuo; the two of them were completely unaware that Yuwen Tuo severing their arms had been to save them.

The two of them had harbored resentment in their hearts ever since the incident where Yuwen Tuo severed their arms, thinking about avenging this deep hatred one day.

Upon hearing Yang Su's words, the two of them smiled happily:

"Very well, Situ Gong!

No, Master!"

Hearing their address, Yang Su laughed heartily and walked into the Qiongchang Cave Abode.

And the two lackeys followed closely behind Yang Su as they walked inside.

At this moment, Duan Fengyun, who was in the Sword Spirit Space, opened his eyes, and Duan Fengyun said:

"Sword Spirit, has someone entered the Jian Ku?

I feel like you seemed to be on guard against something just now?"

The Sword Spirit replied:

"Indeed, Little Master, someone has indeed come to Tiandi Yijian Ku.

That Yang Su just walked into Tiandi Yijian Ku, and judging by his appearance, he seems to be plotting something malicious."

Upon hearing that Yang Su had arrived, Duan Fengyun immediately stood up and said:

"What, Yang Su is here?

Sword Spirit, how long have I been in this space?"

The Sword Spirit replied:

"Little Master, you have been in this space for six days!"

Duan Fengyun nodded after hearing this and sighed:

"So six days have already passed; no wonder, no wonder!"

Duan Fengyun now finally understood why the Yellow Emperor and the others would spend decades or centuries in Seclusion.

Because time passes truly fast during cultivation; he felt as if he had only been in the Sword Spirit Space for a short while, yet six days had already passed outside.

However, it was just right; the plan for the rebirth of the Xuanyuan Sword had only just begun to be implemented.

Duan Fengyun warmed up and said:

"Very well, Sword Spirit, since guests have arrived, I shall properly greet them.

Do not intervene; only take action if someone summons you.

I am heading out first!"

After finishing speaking with the Sword Spirit, Duan Fengyun concealed his figure and arrived in the Jian Ku.
