Chapter 861 A Woodcutter’s Requirements

What?!

The piece of paper was actually given by someone else?!

The two lords were stunned. They wondered if they had misheard. Originally, they had assumed that the piece of paper was an ancestral inheritance of Jiang Liu’s.

They assumed that Jiang Liu’s ancestor had been from some legendary swordsman family and that the piece of paper was their family treasure.

They had never expected to hear such shocking words.

Who could possibly have written that piece of paper? Who had such deep and profound cultivation?!

Just as they were reeling in their shock, Jiang Liu and Xiao Chengfeng’s words were heard again.

Jiang Liu shook his head before nodding. “It’s a pity. After all, I truly had to summon up my courage to ask for it. Otherwise, the expert planned on throwing it away as trash.”

Both the lords took a deep breath then.

Throwing that piece of paper away as trash?!

What kind of madman would do something so insane?!

Every single swordsman in the world would have protected that piece of paper like a treasure that was more important than their own lives.

The second lord could not help but exclaim, “Impossible. I refuse to believe that there’s such an…unbelievable person!”

His voice was sharp, unable to accept that the thing he had treated as a God was going to be treated as trash.

Jiang Liu looked at him and smiled. “Haha, just because you haven’t met him, doesn’t mean he doesn’t exist. The expert’s power isn’t something you can even begin to imagine.” The mountain lord was much calmer. He saluted respectfully and said, “Please, don’t blame him. He merely lost his composure from the shock. The swordsmanship of that expert you spoke of is way too unbelievable.”

Jiang Liu and Xiao Chengfeng exchanged a look of amusement.

The expert’s swordsmanship was not the only thing the expert knew.

Swordsmanship was merely a small part of his Wisdom.

If they saw those pieces of paper that littered the expert’s courtyard, they would collapse. However, Jiang Liu and Xiao Chengfeng said nothing of it. They shared the same feeling, which was that they did not want to reveal too much of the expert’s information here.

“Alright, with the Sky Melting Sword, it’s time for us to leave.” Jiang Liu waved and the Sky Melting Sword immediately flew into his hand.

The moment the Sky Melting Sword touched his hand, Jiang Liu immediately felt a special wave of sword intent. It was incredibly imperious, as if it were the king of all swords.

In the past, swordsmanship might have greatly benefitted Jiang Liu. However, it was no longer enough for him.

Even though the Sky Melting Sword could melt away the countless swords in the world, riding atop everything, it would still require Jiang Liu to gather them by himself. A moment of carelessness could lead him astray.

Instead, the expert’s piece of paper managed to subdue tens of thousands of swords with just two words. They even voluntarily flew over, submitting willingly.

It was obvious which one was stronger.

as

Of course, it was not that the Sky Melting Sword was weak, it was just that the expert was too strong. There was probably no one who could reach the heights of the expert.

The Divine Sword Mountain’s two lords hurriedly stepped forward when they saw Jiang Liu and Xiao Chengfeng preparing to leave.

Xiao Chengfeng raised an eyebrow. “What?

“Are you trying to steal the Sky Melting Sword?”

The second lord immediately waved his hands in shock. “Please, don’t misunderstand. We have no intention of doing that at all.”

The lord sincerely explained, “The Sky Melting Sword is definitely too much for us to handle. It’s only safe in your hands. We wouldn’t dare to steal it!” The two of them were frightened, afraid that Xiao Chengfeng and Jiang Liu would start fighting with just a word.

They were already strong, but with that expert behind them, offending them was a scary notion.

The mountain lord said, “That… We actually just wanted to meet that expert. Could the two of you introduce us?”

There was something so amazing in front of them, there was no way they could refuse.

They were from the Divine Sword Mountain and had always loved swordsmanship. Knowing that such a profound swordsman existed, they were not willing to give up the chance to meet him.

“You want to meet the expert?”

Jiang Liu was not surprised, but he shook his head, “The expert’s immersed in his cultivation and can’t leave. We won’t introduce you. Furthermore, I’m a mere woodcutter. I never had the right to do that in the first place.”

“A…woodcutter?”

The two lords were both confused since it was the first time they had heard that.

What kind of a lie was that?

Jiang Liu let out a soft smile, seeing through their thoughts, “Are you two thinking that I’m lying? I’m honestly just the expert’s woodcutter.”

Tha-That…

The two lords were stunned.

They could not help but look at Xiao Chengfeng, wondering what he would say.

Xiao Chengfeng sighed. “Don’t look at me. I don’t even have the qualifications to be a woodcutter.”

The two lords were completely speechless.

Were the requirements for being a woodcutter that high?

In the end, they sighed despondently.

“Ah, we had assumed as much. An expert like that isn’t someone we can meet casually. It’s our greatest regret not being able to meet him.”

The mountain lord looked at Jiang Liu respectfully and said, “The Divine Sword Mountain avoided disaster thanks to the expert. If the expert has any commands in the future, we’ll be willing to lend a hand.”

Jiang Liu and Xiao Chengfeng shot the mountain lord an approving gaze.

That old man was something else.

His words were so smooth, he definitely had some talent in that department.

“In that case, I won’t hold back.”

Jiang Liu let out a smile and said, “The expert’s trying to gather the gray mist. If you’re sincere, you can help us gather it. Don’t worry, the future benefits will far exceed your imaginations.”

“That’s right, if the expert’s in a good mood, just a sip of his wine would be enough to last you your whole lifetime.” Xiao Chengfeng had a deep expression on his face.

They spoke the truth. It was up to the Divine Sword Mountain lords to listen.

The mountain lord’s expression was stern as he said, “Don’t worry, the gray mist is wreaking havoc everywhere. We would’ve done so without you asking!”

He was naturally not willing to believe Jiang Liu and Xiao Chengfeng’s words about the benefits. He felt like they were exaggerating.

Just some wine could last them their whole lives? Did they think he was a three-year-old child?

However, it would be worth it as long as the expert was happy with them.

At that moment, Zhou Yuanhai, who had been silent throughout, suddenly said with a glint in his eyes, “Ahem, the two of you. If you plan on gathering the gray mist, I know a secret that can help you get quite a bit of it.”

W

a se

“Oh?” Jiang Liu and Xiao Chengfeng turned to look at Zhou Yuanhai curiously.

Zhou Yuanhai had been the sword servant of the Sky Melting Sword’s owner. He had brought Yun Cheng to find the Sky Melting Sword, but he actually knew about the gray mist as well.

Zhou Yuanhai said lightly, “I had accidentally stumbled upon the news. The Wisdom Pill Pavilion’s also gathering the gray mist. They claim to be saving the realm from the gray mist, but they’re actually trying to use the gray mist’s energy to strengthen themselves!”
