Chapter 247

This feeling.

It shocked him, yet carried a faint sense of dread.

He had already made up his mind.

No matter what reason the other gave.

He would absolutely refuse at the first opportunity!

Unshakable!!

It seemed he sensed his thoughts.

Senior Dugu Qiubai glanced at him coolly.

A faint, meaningful smile flickered in his eyes.

"The Great Dragon Chief said your Sword Twenty-Two is not the final point!"

"Above it lies Sword Twenty-Three—and not just one version!"

"Also, the Great Dragon Chief has invited Tian Jian Wuming."

"As long as you join the Qinglong Society, whether or not Wuming joins, the Great Dragon Chief can arrange a duel between you and him!"

Here,

Senior Dugu Qiubai paused.

He watched his slightly altered expression.

Calmly continued:

"Oh, by the way."

"As a reward for your help just now, I'll freely give you a piece of information."

"Our Great Dragon Chief is also a master of the sword path—and his journey along it far surpasses yours, mine, and Wuming's!"

"As for just how powerful he is, I don't know."

"But back then, I couldn't withstand even one of his swords!"

"Even now, I still couldn't!"

At these words,

Not only Senior Dugu Jian,

but even Senior Dugu Yifang, who had just arrived,

could not help but open his mouth in stunned disbelief.

Especially Senior Dugu Jian.

He was left dumbfounded by this news.

Senior Dugu Qiubai's strength,

after their recent match, he had a rough idea.

To say he was evenly matched with himself, evenly balanced, was absolutely accurate.

Yet such a person could not even block one of Ximen Wudi's swords.

Did that mean he himself would be the same?!

At this thought,

His first reaction was disbelief.

But soon, it turned to hesitant doubt.

Because as fellow swordsmen—and among the elite—

he believed Senior Dugu Qiubai would never lie about this!

And there was no reason to!

After all,

If this truly caused him to agree,

then

once he later realized something was wrong, wouldn't he still be free to leave?

So such a lie would be meaningless!

Senior Dugu Yifang, who had also realized this,

suddenly narrowed his pupils.

An involuntary look of shock and horror surfaced on his face.

He simply could not imagine,

what kind of taboo could strike down his own elder brother with a single sword?!

Or rather,

Before this,

had he heard these words,

he would have laughed heartily and dismissed them as a joke.

But now,

after witnessing Senior Dugu Qiubai's strength,

he could not soothe himself with humor.

His heart held nothing but a dreamlike sensation—and endless absurdity!

Terrifying as this!

Truly terrifying as this!!!

"He... he's really that strong?!"

Deep inside, there was still a trace of disbelief.

Senior Dugu Jian confirmed hesitantly.

"Of course!"

"The Great Dragon Head's methods are unfathomable!"

"His strength is certainly stronger than I said—no weaker!!"

He didn't even think.

Senior Dugu Qiubai gave a firm affirmation.

In those words and between the lines.

There wasn't even a hint of hesitation.

"Good!"

"If I could witness such a master of sword Dao, this old man willingly joins the Qinglong Society, at your command!!"

He fell silent for two breaths.

Senior Dugu Jian suddenly looked up, his face serious.

His previously somewhat cloudy old eyes.

Now burst forth with brilliant light!

It is said: hear the Dao in the morning, die content in the evening.

Since he could witness such a terrifying, unfathomable taboo existence.

Even if he perished immediately, he would be perfectly willing!!

As for his earlier thought of rejecting everything outright.

Senior Dugu Jian could only say: true, delicious!!

To advance himself further.

To face off against the Heavenly Sword Wu Ming.

To witness an even higher pinnacle of sword Dao.

Tell me, who could refuse?!

"You made a wise decision."

Upon hearing this.

Senior Dugu Qiubai smiled faintly.
