Chapter 97 - Chapter 97: 097 Asura Sword Saint (First update) (2/2)
Gu Yang was stunned, he didn’t expect that the Asura Sword Saint wanted to see him.
Having spoken, the woman in white, taking the lead, leapt up, her toes lightly touching the lake’s surface as she drifted towards a small island at the heart of the lake.
Gu Yang didn’t hesitate much and followed her.
A blessing or a curse, one cannot hide from a curse.
Being a divine powerhouse, if she really wanted to harm him, he wouldn’t be able to escape.
There was a mansion on Lake Heart Island, based on the architecture, it has been there for quite some time.
Gu Yang followed behind the woman in white, heading towards the largest building, feeling somewhat apprehensive. This was his first time meeting a divine powerhouse in reality.
In simulations, every encounter with a divine powerhouse ended badly, often dying without even seeing their true face.
The woman in white stopped in front of a door, reporting respectfully, “Master,
I have brought the person.”
“Let him in.”
An aged voice came from inside.
The door creaked open while the woman in white said,
There was not a hint of light in the room.
When Gu Yang stepped in, he felt a cold gloom.
Finally, he could see the person in the room, an old woman with white hair, frail body, cloudy eyes, and a rotting aura emanating from her, all indicating
that her life was nearing its end.
No matter how he tried, Gu Yang couldn’t associate this decrepit old woman who was about to die with the famous Sword Saint Asura.
He was greatly struck, his heart filled with an unspeakable shock.
Even the once invincible divine powerhouses and the Sword Saint who had the world bowing down to them, cannot withstand the onslaught of time.
Recognizing his shock, the old woman said lightly, “Even a divine power stand is a mortal. When reached the state of Mana, their lifespan is just about 300 years.”
Gu Yang finally came out of his shock, paying his respects, “Junior Gu Yang, greet the senior.”
Even though this old woman appeared to die at any moment, she was still a divine powerhouse. He dared not be complacent.
At this point, he finally understood many things.
Why Qian’s family has fallen to this state, because, this Asura Sword Saint was about to die, no longer able to protect Qian’s family.
“Aren’t you from the Shen family?”
Gu Yang felt a jolt in his heart, “Junior’s surname is Gu, naturally not from the Shen family.”
“I was just curious to see what kind of person can cultivate ‘Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens’ to the Second Grade peak.”
The old woman spoke in a somewhat mocking tone, “The Shen family treasures this skill as a treasure, each generation, picks the most outstanding disciples to cultivate this skill, but no one has been able to cultivate it to First Rank.”
“If the undying old man from Shen family knew about your existence, he would probably vomit blood from anger.”
Gu Yang had already anticipated that his skill would one day be discovered by someone.
Luckily, this Sword Saint before him held a grudge against the Shen family, otherwise, he would be in trouble.
He cupped his hands together, “I request senior to keep it a secret for me.” The old woman suddenly asked, “Do you know why I wanted to see you?”
“Please instruct me.”
“I want to make a deal with you.”
The old woman said without waiting for his question, “I’m about to die, the only thing I can’t let go of is my little disciple. I want her to follow you, to protect her for a few years. As long as you agree, I can pass on a divine secret skill to you.”
Gu Yang thought it odd, “Why doesn’t the senior entrust her to the woman outside, whose strength is far beyond mine?”
“She’s about to get involved in the Qian family’s affairs, destined to face life and death trials, following her could be even more dangerous.”
That’s not necessarily the case.
The trouble Gu Yang carried is not a lesser burden than Qian Xiyun’s.
He asked another question, “Why choose me?”
The old woman said, “You showed commitment by killing an imperial guard for Qian Xiyun’s matter. That is a man who can keep his promise.”
Truly a Sword Saint, with insight.
Gu Yang silently praised in his heart.
The old woman continued, “As long as you agree, no matter what you want, as long as I have it, you can ask for it.”
Gu Yang was moved, instinctively blurting out, “I want money!”
