Chapter 64: Who are you, Senior Brother?
Ling Fengzhi didn't know how long he had been imprisoned.
He had received a mission before, to go to support the monitoring mission team as a sword cultivator, but he didn't know which link had gone wrong. Before he could find any trace of the monitoring mission team, he was ambushed and fell into a coma.
When he opened his eyes again, he was locked up in a dark dungeon.
Because he had no concept of time, had lost his perception of the outside world, and his spiritual power was cut off, the sword cultivator could only silently review the starting points of his sword moves in his mind.
...Is this an illusion? Why do I seem to be easily locked up?
Ling Fengzhi was thinking about some irrelevant things aimlessly to relieve his helplessness.
"Buzz..."
The Frost Sword resonated softly, as if to comfort his emotions.
Frost Flower was not taken away by them... Ling Fengzhi felt relieved after touching the spiritual sword, but then he became even more confused.
He was surrounded and plotted against, and kept encountering dangers, all seemingly due to the Frost Sword that he had obtained unexpectedly. But why?
Apart from becoming famous in the hands of the previous Frost Sword Master, the Frost Sword has no other famous deeds. After the Frost Sword Master and the demon cultivator both disappeared, the Frost Sword Master also died inexplicably in the end.
Demonic cultivators... The shadow of demonic cultivators was also involved in the Master's death, but the Palace Master did not have any other reaction, as if this kind of thing was very normal.
——My head hurts so much, I feel like I need to grow a brain.
"How pitiful, Junior Brother." The man gently tapped Ling Fengzhi's cheek with the blade of his sword. "How could you be in such a mess?"
Ling Fengzhi half-raised his head and glanced at the other person. His expression was calm, but if Chu Sheng were here, he would have seen that he was deeply confused. "Who are you?"
"...Oh." Hu Ji laughed. "You recognize this junior brother yourself, but I don't think I know you."
The man snorted in dissatisfaction, retracted the black sword, and asked Hu Ji.
"He hasn't remembered yet?"
"Then I don't know." Hu Ji glanced at him.
"Originally, we wouldn't have needed to arrest him. If it weren't for that sir... if it weren't for you guys' request, we wouldn't even have had to work overtime to build this secret cell."
"...waste!" The man was a little angry and embarrassed, but he did not attack Hu Ji. He just slapped Ling Fengzhi again with the sword through the prison.
Ling Fengzhi raised his head. He did not feel humiliated by being hit on the face with a sword one after another. He just felt very confused about the current situation.
"Who are you?"
"Me? I guess Buwang has never told you about what happened before. It's natural that you don't know me." The man leaned down, his blue eyes filled with jealousy and resentment.
"Junior Brother, Master must have been very good to you in the past, right? Even the Frost Flower Sword was willing to fight for you... but he never once considered me!"
Didn't Shuanghua Sword come to us on its own? Back then, when I went on a mission with Senior Brother Qi An, it was also because of the sect's orders. Master didn't interfere at all, right?
Ling Fengzhi glanced at the man whose expression was twisted with jealousy and felt that the memory in his brain was burning.
Oh, wait, he also calls Master "Master", so...
"Senior Brother?" The dying swordsman moved, and a faint cry came from his hoarse throat.
"Oh, you finally remembered now? Our honorable Frost Sword Master..."
"...Who are you?" Ling Fengzhi repeated.
He tried hard to take a closer look at the newcomer's appearance. He had black hair and blue eyes. He had definitely never seen him before in the Sword Palace. As for whether Sword Master Buwang had mentioned anything...
Ling Fengzhi thought about it for a moment and shook his head seriously.
"Master never told me that I have a senior brother."
Nagi Rinyu really couldn't hold it in any longer at this moment.
He could accept that he was not liked by his master, and he could also accept that Ling Fengzhi was hostile to him, and he didn't care that there was no such person in the Sword Palace.
After all, what he had done before could not be said to be innumerable, at least it was unprecedented and unparalleled. It was only human nature that no one wanted to mention Nagi Rinyu's name.
But he never expected that Master Buwang Jian could be so patient and not even mention a single word of his, causing his nominal junior brother to not even know that he had a senior brother!
"When you came out of the Sword Palace, Changfeng Duji didn't say anything else?" Nagi Linyou asked for the second time without giving up.
"No." Ling Fengzhi shook his head. "The Palace Master only said to preserve Master's cave abode on the mountain and wait for me to return to discuss it."
The most important thing for a sword cultivator in the Sword Palace is the sword spirit and the inheritance left behind in the sword tomb. Ling Fengzhi didn't mention any of this, which made Nagi Linyou choke. "A mountaintop cave? Is that all?"
"?"
Ling Fengzhi was a little confused, and this time even Nagi Linyou understood what he meant: Apart from these, what else could there be?
"...You old bastard!" Nagi Linyu could no longer bear it and punched the iron bars of the prison, causing the chains to rattle.
He originally thought that Ling Fengzhi had only reached the Golden Core stage of cultivation because of the arrogance of the Frost Flower Sword Master, which led to the other party's disdain for cultivation and only wanting to pursue the truth of the Great Dao.
But now it seems that this young swordsman in front of him not only failed to awaken his memories of past lives, he couldn't even protect his home, and was directly robbed by those shameless old Bidens in the Sword Palace!
Nagi Linyou looked at Ling Fengzhi, who was looking puzzled, and laughed angrily.
"Everyone knows that old man Buwang is poor. What good things can he have in his mountain cave? He didn't even mention the most important sword inheritance. What a great old ghost Changfeng is!"
"Oh." Ling Fengzhi said.
"You only have one? You don't have any other ideas?" Nagi Rinyu looked at him with some disappointment.
"Your master died inexplicably, and the Sword Palace not only refused to help you hunt down the real culprit, but also wanted to devour your entire family and throw you to the Supervisory Team to fend for yourself. Don't you hate that?"
"...Inspection Team, I came here on my own initiative." Ling Fengzhi was silent for a moment, and spoke slowly in a hoarse voice.
"Because the Palace Master said that the sect has decided to take back everything that belongs to Master. If you don't come, you won't be able to keep anything."
……ha?
After hearing what Ling Fengzhi said, Nagi Linyu was stunned.
Wow, is it that the times are changing too fast, or that I have been in seclusion for too long and can’t keep up with the shameless speed of this group of people?
These old Biddens in the Sword Palace are not only planning to rob old man Buwang's house, they are clearly planning to wipe out the roots of his lineage!
"It seems that your human sect is also very ruthless to your own people."
Hu Ji was enjoying watching the show, but she still remembered that the person in front of her was a madman who kept his word, so she carefully covered the corners of her upturned mouth with a feather fan.
"You talk about all this sanctimonious virtue, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness, but in reality, you're not as sincere as us, a bunch of furry and horned demons..."
Nagi Linyu gave her a sinister look, and at the same time, he loosened the chain that was holding Ling Fengzhi in boredom.
Ling Fengzhi, who suddenly lost his support, staggered and almost fell to the ground.
"Forget it. What does the old man's affairs after his death have to do with me, a person who has been expelled from the sect?"
He said indifferently that the fresh emotions just now seemed to be just a flash in the pan, and now it disappeared completely from Nagi Rinyu's body.
"I advise you to remember it quickly, Junior Brother."
The young man with red hair and green eyes chuckled softly. "Their patience won't last long. If they delay any further, I can't guarantee what will happen..."
"It's almost time." Hu Ji narrowed her eyes slightly and warned him, "We agreed to give him half an hour to be interrogated by the adults."
"Oh, of course I know that."
Nagi Rinyu turned his wrist, and the pitch-black sword disappeared into his palm like a drop of ink.
He took one last look at Ling Fengzhi, who was leaning against the corner without saying a word, and waved to Hu Ji perfunctorily. "I won't disturb you from working. I'll go find some fun first—"
Nagi Linyu took a step forward, and the environment around him instantly changed from a dark prison back to a quiet street. The young man took another step forward, and a female cultivator who happened to turn around appeared in front of him.
"Um?"
He spoke in surprise, and the female cultivator stopped walking as she was about to collide with Nagi Rinyu, took half a step back, and raised her head.
"Feel sorry……"
Chu Sheng nonchalantly looked at the person who suddenly appeared, but at the moment when he discerned the rune rules around the other person, he was slightly stunned.
"Are you okay, fellow Taoist?"
"Oh, of course it's okay." Nagi Rinyu blinked and said subconsciously.
After transforming from a cultivator to a demon cultivator, the world he saw wasn't much different. It was just that his understanding of the sword had undergone some strange changes...
For example, at this moment, he looked at the heavy sword on the back of the female cultivator, and inexplicably had an urge to take it for himself.
He wanted it, and he got it. Nagi Rinyu had always honestly followed this principle after becoming a demon. But facing this Yuanying stage female swordsman who could hurt anyone with just one blow, he...
He may need to think carefully about how to save the country in a roundabout way.
It was definitely not because he doubted that he, a demon cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage, might not be able to defeat this sword cultivator in the Nascent Soul Stage. Absolutely not.
"May I ask your name, Taoist friend?" Nagi Linyou said, "My name is Nagi Linyou. To be honest, I fell in love with you at first sight. I wonder if you could give me a chance to get to know you better?"
"I'm Chu Sheng." The black-haired, dark-eyed female cultivator seemed stunned for a moment after hearing what he said, and then her expression became somewhat subtle. "Thank you for your kindness, fellow Daoist, but I am a cultivator of the Wuqing Dao..."
"The ruthless way? No problem, fellow Daoist Chu Sheng and I hit it off right away, even if it means just being friends..." Nagi Linyu smiled with persistence.
He firmly believed that his intuition would not be wrong. The spiritual sword behind this female cultivator must be of great significance, otherwise why would he inexplicably have this feeling of destiny?
"No one comes to the border town for no reason. What is your pursuit here, Fellow Daoist Chu Sheng? Perhaps I can provide some assistance."
...Then you really are asking about dialogue.
Chu Sheng looked at the aura surrounding him, which was the same as the jade hairpin that retained a trace of Ling Fengzhi's soul, and showed an interested expression.
"I do have something to do... Is what you said, Mr. Nagi, true?"
"Of course." Nagi Rinyu nodded decisively.
"I sincerely want to make friends with Chu Sheng. Believe me, I will let you see my sincerity!"
