Chapter 580

Just as Zhong Mei was saying this, Seeing Ao Jue had returned at some unknown point.

Looking at the traces of fighting at the door, and the few corpses of You Dongying warriors, he could not help but frown.

"Shanzhuang Lord, you didn't catch up to Watching Bu Jingyun and the others?"

Zhong Mei's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked Seeing Ao Jue.

"I caught up, but…"

Seeing Ao Jue gave a bitter smile. Though he had suffered light injuries, he was after all one of the Six Demon Crossing, a master who had made it onto the Heavenly Dao Golden List!

Bu Jingyun was only at the Earthly Immortal Realm, and Duan Lang was merely at the World-Shaking level.

Catching up to the two of them was actually not that hard.

Only after he caught up did someone appear, causing his effort to fail at the last moment.

"But what?"

Zhong Mei pressed.

"The Demon Lady came, bearing the Demon Lord's decree — the Worship Sword Shanzhuang must be on good terms with the Qinglong Society."

"Though the Absolute Good Sword is a divine weapon, it ultimately isn't the most suitable for me."

"There's no need to offend the Qinglong Society and the Demon Lord over just one sword like this."

Seeing Ao Jue was somewhat furious, yet helpless.

"Then forget it…"

Hearing this, Zhong Mei also breathed a sigh of relief,

"The Absolute Good Sword is merely one attempt at refining the Jue Sword."

"This attempt has let this old man confirm that as long as we find enough masters at the Earthly Mythical Realm,"

"and use their essence blood to fuse and refine them, then find a suitable demonic weapon, like this Sword of Defeat here,"

"with another two or so, this old man will have enough confidence to sacrifice-refine the Jue Sword."

"With the Jue Sword in hand, it will surely help the Shanzhuang Lord break into the imperial city and avenge the old master and the Lady."

Speaking to this point, Zhong Mei could not help but choke up.

Back then, the Yunzhou imperial clan had listened to slander and annihilated the Worship Sword Shanzhuang.

He happened to be out looking for sword-forging materials and escaped the disaster.

Yet the Worship Sword Shanzhuang was like home to him.

He knew the taste of having one's home destroyed better than anyone.

"Very good! But where did this Sword of Defeat come from?"

Hearing that the Jue Sword had hope, Seeing Ao Jue finally got some good news.

Only he had never heard of this Sword of Defeat before.

"One furnace, two swords. This time, for some unknown reason, two precious swords were actually born."

"And the Sword of Defeat is a far better fit for the Shanzhuang Lord's Wu Gong."

Saying so, Zhong Mei raised the Sword of Defeat high and presented it before Seeing Ao Jue.

"Not bad! This sword suits me very well."

Seeing Ao Jue took the Sword of Defeat, gave it a slight感应, and could not help but rejoice greatly.

He immediately prepared to return to the Shanzhuang to practice with it for a while.

Only when he swept his gaze did he notice that at the Shanzhuang gate, one person's figure was missing.

In the past, whenever he went out, she would always wait foolishly at the gate, through wind and rain.

Why was she not there today?

"Right, where is Can Ji? Did she go after me?"

His heart stirred as he recalled that he had just gone after Bu Jingyun and the other; perhaps Can Ji had gone too.

Only he was distracted, and on the way back had not noticed her.

"This…"

Zhong Mei's face turned ugly.

The reason he had said so much was actually to try to gloss over the matter of Can Ji first.

In order to fuse-refine the Absolute Good Sword and the Sword of Defeat, Seeing Ao Jue had actually already been injured.

At this moment, it was actually not suitable to go out.

"Shanzhuang Lord, a group of You Dongying warriors just came and kidnapped Can Ji!"

A Worship Sword Shanzhuang master had long wanted to say this.

"What? Why didn't you stop them?"

Hearing this, Seeing Ao Jue indeed immediately changed color and asked.

"Just now, a lot of You Dongying people came."

"Although everyone fought desperately to try to save Can Ji, we truly were powerless."

Seeing Seeing Ao Jue furious, this man was also startled and immediately explained.

"Damnable, useless trash!"

Seeing Ao Jue erupted in rage, and with a casual slash of his sword, this man was directly cut clean in half at the waist.

"If anything happens to Can Ji, all of you will die."

After glaring viciously at the crowd, Seeing Ao Jue then leaped off into the distance.

Since it was You Dongying people who had kidnapped Can Ji, he only needed to go find the You Dongying people.

His cultivation was extraordinarily high, and his heart worried for Can Ji's safety.

Pushing his movement art to the limit, in less than two breaths he had already vanished beyond the horizon.

395 — There is nothing under heaven that the Qinglong Society does not know!

Seeing Ao Jue kept activating his movement art, eyes darting in every direction.

Before long, he spotted a squad of You Dongying warriors heading east.

He drove force into his feet, and in just a few breaths landed right in front of that squad of You Dongying warriors.

"Where is Can Ji?"

"What Can Ji? We don't know..."

The You Dongying warriors flatly denied it.

Ah!

Seeing Ao Jue wasted no more words, and with a single sword stroke killed the one who had spoken, then turned to the second man and asked,

"Where is Can Ji?"

"Sir hero, I was only passing through..."

Before he could finish, another sword stroke killed the man, and Seeing Ao Jue looked at the third person.

Such ruthless methods from Seeing Ao Jue — even the You Dongying men could not help but be terrified to the bone.

"My patience is limited. I'll give you ten breaths. If you cannot tell me where Can Ji went, you can all go die."

The You Dongying warriors looked at one another.

Though utterly afraid, none dared to make a move against Seeing Ao Jue.

After all, Seeing Ao Jue had just killed two men with two sword strokes, and not a single one of them had been able to see his strike clearly.

"Ten!"

Seeing Ao Jue swung his sword again and killed one man.

"Nine!"

He struck once more, and this time killed two men.

Seeing Seeing Ao Jue so ruthless — killing without the slightest change in expression.

One of the You Dongying men panicked and immediately jumped out,

"I know, I know."

"Speak!"

"Who Can Ji is, I don't know."

When the man got to this point and saw Seeing Ao Jue's wrist twitch, he got a fright at once and hurriedly went on,

"But I do know that earlier our leader, Chong Ba, captured a blonde Western Regions woman and headed off in that direction."
