Chapter 951: Pure Heart, Challenge From The Saber Lord, Daughter of Guqin Crown
“Phew! I’m safe!”
‘The pock-faced lady sighed a breath of relief. Then, she turned to Chu Kuangren with a grateful look on her face. “Thank you, Daoist Brother! Thank you for saving me!”
She understood the situation earlier as well. The Saber Lord and the others could have saved her, but it was Chu Kuangren who put thoughts into action.
“I’s nothing. It was just a simple matter,” Chu Kuangren said.He saved the pocked-face lady simply out of convenience. It was like seeing a stray dog or cat on the street and tossing a bone or two to feed them purely out of reaction.
“It might’ve been just a simple matter to you, Daoist Brother, but it was life-saving to me. I’m in your debt, and I’ll never forget it,” the lady said solemnly.
Chu Kuangren took a glance at her.
The lady was tall and slim, and her facial features were quite delicate. If it were not for the pockmarks on her face, she would be a beautiful one.
“Whatever,” Chu Kuangren simply said.
It was just a simple matter, and he did not expect a retum at all.
“Alright.”The lady then stood aside in silence. Suddenly, she realized someone else was surrounded by vengeful souls and was in a pinch. A slight hesitation later, she decided to join the battle and offer a helping hand.
“A kind person, I see. It’s rare in this dog-eat-dog world of cultivation,” the Sword Crown said with a chuckle.
No one helped the lady earlier, but she did not hold any grudge against them. Instead, she stood up and helped those who were in trouble. Such a pure heart was indeed rare among the cultivators.
“Do you know why they are rare?”
“I’s because they die early,” the Sword Crown teased with a mocking laugh.
He was either mocking the people or the cultivation world itself.
Chu Kuangren remained quiet.
“Huh?”
The Sword Crown suddenly gasped in surprise as he watched the cultivators being surrounded by vengeful souls. “The sword technique that they are using…. It’s the Dragon Roar Sword Art.”
The surrounded cultivators swung their swords in a flurry, unleashing sword qi that went rampant and intertwined to form the image of a dragon. Following that, the roar of a dragon echoed in the air.
Dragon Roar Sword Art was Dragon Roar Sword Orthodoxy’s ultimate technique, and it was none other than the Sword Crown’s alma mater.
“What a coincidence. Want to help?” Chu Kuangren asked.
“I’s okay. I can use this chance to see what the standards of the young cultivators of Dragon Roar Sword Orthodoxy are,” the Sword Crown said with a smile.
A moment later, the cultivators from Dragon Roar Sword Orthodoxy joined forces with the pock-faced lady and overpowered the vengeful souls that attacked them.
“Hm, it’s okay.”
The Sword Crown nodded. He was neither satisfied nor disappointed.
“Thank you, Daoist Sister.”
The cultivators from Dragon Roar Sword Orthodoxy thanked the pock-faced lady.
“You’re welcome.”
Soon enough, all the vengeful souls were dealt with, and the party started to pick up the treasures on the ground.
At that moment, the Saber Lord walked to Chu Kuangren and saw the sword at his waist. He asked, “You’re a swordsman?”
“I guess I am.”
“swordsman, you’re good. Draw your sword, and show me your sword technique.”
With that, energy erupted from the Saber Lord’s body.
Chu Kuangren did not answer. In fact, it was the pock-faced lady who stepped in and said, “We are now in the Weeping Phantom Ridge. We should direct our attention towards the vengeful souls. Oceanic Sword Grave’s Young Master, please rethink your decision.”
The Saber Lord reacted sourly to the lady’s words. His face sank, and he said coldly, “Are you trying to teach me what I should do?”
The pocked-face lady frowned. “I didn’t mean that.”
“Then piss off!” the Saber Lord bellowed.
Those from Dragon Roar Sword Orthodoxy came forward and said, “This Daoist Brother here is really powerful, so it’s normal for the Saber Lord to get excited. However, we are still in the Weeping Phantom Ridge. Please consider the situation, Saber Lord.”
“Dragon Roar Sword Orthodoxy, if your Senior Brother were here, I might rethink my action. But today, I am going to defeat this guy here. If you guys are in my way, I will start by chopping you people first,” the Saber Lord said coldly.
The Dragon Roar Sword Orthodoxy cultivators did not expect the Saber Lord to be so stubborn.
Rumor had it that the Saber Lord took pleasure in defeating swordsmen, especially powerful ones. Hence, when he saw Chu Kuangren save the pock-faced lady, he knew he had run into a worthy opponent to defeat.
On the other hand, Hui Fa was collecting rage qi with his Buddha sculpture.
He took a moment to glance at Chu Kuangren but showed no intention of stopping the Saber Lord. He, too, was curious about the power level of this mysterious person and whether he could be a potential threat.
At the side, Huoshen Xiao was also excited by the challenge.
He did not want to face Chu Kuangren directly. However, if someone else did it for him, he would be more than happy to watch.
If Chu Kuangren was defeated in the process, it would be even better.
“Hmph.” Chu Kuangren scoffed and said, “You want me to draw my sword? I don’t think you are worthy enough.”
His words shocked the crowd.
He had provoked the Saber Lord openly!
He must have a death wish!
“He’s so dead!”
“Yeah. The Saber Lord only wanted to defeat him and further improve his achievement of defeating all the swordsmen in the world. But with that provocation, the Saber Lord ought to kill him!”
“This guy is really an idiot.”
As expected, the Saber Lord squinted his eyes upon hearing Chu Kuangren’s words, and icy-cold killing intents overflowed.
“You’re asking for it!”
The saber behind his back trembled.
The dominant aura pressured everyone present.
‘When the pock-faced lady noticed the Saber Lord’s insistence, she clenched her teeth and said, “I am the daughter of Gugin Crown. This Daoist Brother here saved my life earlier, so as long as I am here, you are not allowed to start a fight, Saber Lord!”
Everyone was shocked and silenced by the lady’s words.
However, that silence was replaced by a brutal cackle.
“Hahahaha! Are you serious? This pock-faced girl is claiming that she’s the daughter of the Gugin Crown? Is she out of her mind?”
“Does she even know who the Gugin Crown is? One of the Seven Crowns, an Immortal that stands at the pinnacle of Planquilon Immortal World! And she claims that she’s the daughter of such a figure? This is hilarious. I can’t handle it. I just can’t!”
“Theard the daughter of the Gugin Crown is an exquisite beauty and has fair skin. How dare this ugly bitch call herself the daughter of Gugin Crown? She should look in the mirror first.”
The crowd laughed and mocked her, but the lady ignored them. She took a piece of handkerchief and a bottle of water out, wet the handkerchief, and started to wipe her face.
As she rubbed her face slowly, the pockmarks on her face disappeared.
Her true face under the pockmarks was finally revealed. With a delicate face, sharp brows, tall nose, and fair skin, she looked like a different person from a moment earlier.
‘The crowd was so stunned that their jaws fell.
“Holy cow! She’s so beautiful!”
Then, the lady took out a piece of jade insignia with Immortal Sparks on it. The insignia had the character of ‘Qin’ carved on it.
‘The moment she revealed it, the sound of gugin sounded in the air.
“This is the jade insignia of the young master from Cloud Nine Insignia Manor. It’s enough to prove my identity as the daughter of Gugin Crown,” she said.
The crowd stared at the insignia and listened to the illusory gugin sound. Suddenly, regret rose in everyone’s heart.
‘D*mn!”
“She really is the Gugin Crown’s daughter!
They realized that they had just missed a golden opportunity to befriend her and the chance to save a damsel in distress!
The thought of it put everyone in despair.
Even the Saber Lord regretted it. If he had saved her, he might be able to win the beauty’s heart, and she would not stand against him because of Chu Kuangren..
