Free Web NovelChapter 1952: Chapter 1941: Calm and Unflustered
Because they had just met the leader of Jianhun Mountain yesterday. If there was something to say, the leader of Jianhun Mountain could have said it at the banquet, so why wait until now?
Shui Roushu didn’t understand, but she also couldn’t let Ao Cangsheng leave. So, when she saw the leader of Jianhun Mountain, she told him to be careful.
Ao Cangsheng nodded, then left the mansion, hurriedly taking the butler with him.
All along the way, Ao Cangsheng was pondering why the master of Jianhun Mountain suddenly came to find him, and he didn’t speak a word with the butler.
Before this, when entering the Sword Soul Storm, Ao Cangsheng had triggered a chain reaction with a small coffin.
In the end, Ao Cangsheng received a bloody Sword Shadow outside the hall.
Although this matter felt pleasant, Ao Cangsheng didn’t tell anyone.
Now Ao Cangsheng was wondering if it was because of the Sword Shadow’s blood aura?
Along the way, they didn’t say a word, hurrying towards the east of Jianhun.
Before long, they arrived at a mansion.
Looking at this not particularly luxurious mansion, Ao Cangsheng paused.
The stairs slowly rose, but in the deserted attic, it seemed eerie.
"Dong dong,"
With the faint sound of footsteps, Ao Cangsheng slowly climbed to the top floor.
As soon as he stepped into the loft, the first thing that caught his eye was a row of bookshelves.
Then there were some potted plants, a table, and two chairs. On the table was a teapot, and next to it were several scattered teacups.
The loft was elegant, filled with books. Because of this, it compensated for the simplicity of the furniture.
Ao Cangsheng’s eyes lightly swept across the loft, landing on the lattice window on the east side.
There, at that moment, stood a middle-aged man in a purple suit, dignified and calm.
The middle-aged man naturally was the master of Jianhun Mountain. Hearing Ao Cangsheng’s footsteps, he slowly turned around, leaving the scenic view outside the window behind.
"Greetings, master of Jianhun Mountain!"
The leader of Jianhun Mountain seemed gentle, yet in the face of such awe-inspiring majesty, Ao Cangsheng immediately bowed in greeting.
The master of Jianhun on the mountain smiled and waved, saying, "No need for formalities!"
The master of Jianhun Mountain did not ask Ao Cangsheng to sit. He himself did not sit. They stood facing each other.
"I heard you. Are you from the Heavenly Dragon Martial Arts School?"
After some pleasantries, the master of Jianhun Mountain suddenly inquired.
Ao Cangsheng said, "Yes, I’m from the Tang Heavenly Dragon Martial Arts School!"
"To my knowledge, Jianhun Mountain did not invite you. May I know why you have come to Jianhun Mountain?"
The master of Jianhun Mountain smiled without expression.
Ao Cangsheng naturally wouldn’t reveal the Water Dragon King’s secret to the master of Jianhun Mountain. As he looked around, he smiled and said, "Of course, I’m here to take the Sword Soul Road exam."
"Is that so?"
The master of Jianhun Mountain was surprised. "Since you know about the Sword Soul Road test, you must be aware of the conditions for entering Jianhun Mountain."
"Without an invitation, how can one walk Jianhun Road with such confidence?"
Ao Kangsheng said, "To be honest, I just wanted to try."
"The Heavenly Dragon Martial Arts School was destroyed. I had no other way. Coming to Jianhun Mountain was just for the experience."
"I don’t have much hope of entering Jianhun Mountain."
"Haha, a good experience nonetheless. Besides, do you have no other purpose? For instance, treasure hunting!"
The master of Jianhun Mountain suddenly laughed, and his tone suddenly turned calm.
Upon hearing this, Ao Cangsheng’s heart suddenly tightened. This sentence from the master of Jianhun Mountain clearly reflected the significance of the Water Dragon King’s legacy.
But Ao Kangsheng really didn’t know. How did the master of Jianhun Mountain know these things?
Surprise flashed in his eyes, but Ao Cangsheng quickly calmed down and said, "Old sir, I am just joking. How could I find the treasure of Sword Soul Mountain?"
"Not necessarily! If the treasure left by others happens to be a chance you obtained through information or a map or something to guide you, then treasure hunting makes sense!"
The master of Jianhun Mountain was staring at Ao Cangsheng. At this time, there was a sharp point in his eyes.
To say this before the master of Jianhun Mountain, for Ao Cangsheng, was already enough shock.
These words were enough to shock Ao Cangsheng.
Almost certainly, Ao Cangsheng knew the secret of the Water Dragon King.
"Who are you?"
In an instant, all of Ao Cangsheng’s body stood on end, ready to take action at any time.
The master of Jianhun Mountain let out a cold laugh, leisurely looking at Ao Cangsheng. "I am the master of Jianhun Mountain, do you not know?"
After saying this, it seemed the master of Jianhun Mountain thought of something else, and added, "Oh, I forgot to mention, my name is Gu Jianfeng!"
"Gu Jianfeng?!"
Hearing these three words, Ao Kangsheng was suddenly shocked.
Because yesterday he had just read Shui Linggen’s letter. At the end of the letter, Shui Lingxing told Ao Cangsheng that the one who killed the Dragon King was Gu Shenghong.
The Shui Family’s enemy is Gu, and the person in front of him is believed to be Gu. Isn’t this coincidence too strange?
At this moment, the vital energy within Ao Cangsheng’s body suddenly began to surge crazily.
If he hadn’t repressed his fear at the last moment, I fear that after Gu Jianfeng finished speaking, he would have suddenly acted.
"Do you know an elder named Gu Shenghong?"
Withholding the strong anxiety in his heart, Ao Kangsheng finally asked the last question.
Gu Jianfeng smiled faintly and immediately spat out six words: "That is my ancestor!"
"Swoosh—"
As soon as these words came out, the long-prepared energy within Ao Cangsheng surged out like a flood.
Suddenly, a beam of sword light illuminated the entire loft. The sword light had just appeared.
"Unexpectedly, this experience on the Sword Soul Road allowed your millennium-sealed Sword Soul to finally reappear in the world."
"Child, I think you wielded the sword of Jianhun Mountain a few days ago?"
Gu Jianfeng looked coldly at Ao Cangsheng, as if he was a cat playing with a mouse, with an amused gaze.
"Roar—"
However, the answer was not from Ao Cangsheng, but from a world-shaking beast roar.
With the terrifying roar of the beast, eight terrifying beasts suddenly descended from the sky, pouncing towards Gu Jianfeng.
"Secret of the Beast God?"
Seeing the eight fierce beasts, Gu Jianfeng was stunned.
"Follow me out!"
Gu Jianfeng suddenly took a sip of a cold drink, and before the eight beasts could come, he threw Ao Cangsheng out of the window.
Gu Jianfeng’s action shocked Ao Kangsheng.
When bathing in the storm of Sword Soul, he mastered two secrets of Beast Cutting.
But even so, when Gu Jianfeng took action, he didn’t have the power to strike back.
Fortunately, Gu Jianfeng just threw him out of the pavilion and didn’t kill him.
Otherwise, using the method Gu Jianfeng just employed, Ao Cangsheng had no hope of resistance at all.
After being thrown out of the pavilion, the eight beasts completely rushed out from the void.
Eight giant animals formed a circle to protect Ao Kangsheng.
The terrifying threat caused the mansion beneath his feet to start shaking violently.
"Do you have any other tricks?" Before I take action, think quickly. Otherwise, once I strike, I’m afraid you won’t have a chance!"
Gu Jianfeng hovered in the air, his face undisturbed, and he sneered.
In his eyes, the terror of the eight Dragon Shadow Beasts seemed insignificant.
Feeling the calm aura of Gu Jianfeng, an unprecedented pressure surged within Ao Cangsheng’s heart.
When he attacked and killed the Disciple of the martial arts school, even when he encountered the shadow of the True Dragon Realm, he never felt such pressure.
But now, Gu Jianfeng hadn’t even taken action, yet Ao Cangsheng felt a sense of powerlessness.
This feeling, in this circumstance, is definitely not a good omen.
