Chapter 939 - 848: A Flower of Kindness
“You are not from the Dugu Clan?”
Chen Yue asked excitedly, her eyes filled with uncertainty for a moment.
This answer was extremely important to her.
However, Dugu Yuqing couldn’t help but ponder for a moment before saying,
“My surname is Dugu, so of course I am from the Dugu Clan, but which Dugu Clan are you referring to?”
Chen Yue was stunned and said,
“Of course, the one from the True Ancestor World, one of the Nine Eternal Ancient Clans, the Dugu Family…”
Dugu Yuqing shook his head with a smile and said,
“I am not born into that clan; indeed, I have not even heard of that clan.”
Joy of surprise immediately blossomed in Chen Yue’s beautiful eyes.
“What… You are not actually from the Dugu Clan of the True Ancestor World…”
“Are you… are you serious? You aren’t deceiving me?”
She could scarcely believe it.
Even Chen Zhongtian beside her couldn’t help but mutter,
“In this world, aside from the Dugu Clan, one of the Nine Eternal Ancient Clans, who else could nurture such a swordsmanship prodigy?!”
It is known that in the whole True Ancestor World, the strongest in Sword Dao are the Chen Clan and the Dugu Clan.
And the Chen Clan, having sent their strongest, the Chen Family’s Eighteen Swords, to the frontier, were to some extent surpassed by the prosperity of the Dugu Clan.
Apart from the Dugu Clan, where else could such a mighty swordsmanship lineage exist?
Upon hearing this, Wu Dade couldn’t help but be displeased and said,
“Dugu Clan? Possibly, even the bugs in our village may not be inferior.”
Dugu Yuqing also said with a smile,
“I hail from a small mountain village in the Martial Desolate, and indeed have no connection to the Dugu Clan of the True Ancestor World.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Yue grew even more excited.
Only now did she believe it.
After all, if Dugu Yuqing had been born in the Dugu Family of the True Ancestor World, that fat man wouldn’t have dared underrate the Dugu Family’s reputation.
“I am Chen Yue of the Chen Clan, meeting Young Master Dugu!”
She immediately spoke, then followed with a question,
“Young Master Dugu, did you come here for the Sword Saint’s Relic?”
Dugu Yuqing nodded slightly and said,
“Somewhat.”
Chen Yue hesitated for a moment and said,
“Not to deceive Young Master, our Chen Clan… has some connections with the Sword Venerable of old.”
“We can help you acquire the Sword Venerable’s relic… Would you allow us to join you inside?”
In just an instant, she made a decision in her heart.
Initially, she had wanted to compete for the Sword Saint’s relic…
But now, she readily gave up.
Nothing else, Dugu Yuqing had reached the saintly realms in Sword Dao, a feat only found in myths and legends, with nobody in this present world a match for him.
Even though their Chen Clan had connections with the Sword Venerable and had received his grace, she would not consider the Sword Venerable’s relic as belonging to the Chen Clan.
Far from feeling any jealousy or discontent, she felt that the treasures of the Sword Venerable, in the hands of an extraordinary genius of Sword Dao like Dugu Yuqing, might truly find their right owner.
In anyone else’s hands, it would be a terrible waste.
Thus, she was willing to help Dugu Yuqing acquire the Sword Saint’s relic.
At the same time, she needed to enter, waiting for the appearance of the Sword Master Evil Corpse.
After all, the Dugu Clan had renounced their oath, all experts of the Chen Clan were confined, and the Chen Family’s Eighteen Swords, stationed at the border, could not return.
She… could only hope for the Sword Venerable’s reemergence!
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yuqing couldn’t help but glance at Chen Yue perceptively.
He soon revealed a slight smile.
—In fact, as soon as he had entered this place, he had recognized the sword qi on Chen Yue, which felt very familiar.
As if he had practiced it in a past life.
Seeing Chen Yue’s sincerity and good nature, he felt quite gratified.
It seemed that the karma from a previous life was finally blossoming into good deeds.
“It is possible.”
He spoke with profound implications.
He didn’t reveal his identity.
Now was not the time.
Immediately, his mind stirred, and sword qi instantly burst forth, enveloping Chen Yue and others.
Chen Yue and Chen Zhongtian instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
“Young Master Dugu, when we came here, we were being pursued by formidable enemies… They are people from the Dugu Family.”
Chen Yue then proceeded to narrate the origins, connection, and grievances between the Chen Family and the Dugu Family.
After listening, the expressions of Dugu Yuqing and his companions turned somewhat cold.
They had come to realize that both the ancestors of the Dugu Clan and the Chen Clan were sword servants of the Sword Venerable from the Era of the Ancient White Mist.
The ancestor of the Dugu Clan, when he had encountered the Sword Venerable years ago, was but a nameless wandering child, so the Sword Venerable had even bestowed him with the surname Dugu!
This is the origin of the Dugu Clan.
In the great war during The Era of the Ancient White Mist, the ancestors of two families, following the Sword Venerable, died in battle.
Yet, they both left behind their legacies.
Thus, were formed the Chen Family and the Dugu Family.
“This Dugu Clan is really shameless…”
Wu Dade couldn’t help but speak out and said to Dugu Yuqing,
“They should be erased from this world!”
Erase!
Upon hearing these words, Chen Zhongtian and Chen Yue were both stunned.
Such words… they were simply arrogant.
What was the origin of these young people?
Facing the Longevity Ancient Clan, they could easily use the word “erase”?
Could it be that the force behind them was even stronger than that of the Dugu Clan?
Unbelievable.
Dugu Yuqing was indifferent. He telepathically told Wu Dade and Wu Xiaokun not to act rashly.
He didn’t want to reveal his identity yet.
“Miss Chen Yue, rest assured, they cannot commit violence.”
He said lightly to Chen Yue.
Seeing Dugu Yuqing’s calm demeanor, Chen Yue couldn’t help but feel inexplicably calm.
“Boom!”
At this moment,
in the Sky Domain, warships gathered, tearing through the void.
The Spirit King Level warships of the Dugu Clan spotted Chen Yue and the others, sending out a terrifying wave of attack, formed of Sword Dao, extremely powerful.
“Chen Yue, let’s see where you can run to!”
Dugu Daosi stood at the bow, shouting loudly.
However, at this very moment, the shockwave from that warship charged into the Sword Domain.
Inside the Sword Domain, sensing the intrusion, a surge of Sword Qi soared to the sky, directly shredding the Spirit King Level warship’s attack wave!
Simultaneously, the sword light was as fast as a divine rainbow, slashing towards that Spirit King Level warship in an instant!
“Not good!”
Dugu Songming and Dugu Songsi, the two Spirit Kings, had their faces change drastically at this moment.
They felt that the Sword Qi coming towards them was absolutely unstoppable!
The scent of death.
“Everyone, abandon ship and flee, now!”
Dugu Songsi shouted urgently.
He was, and he with Dugu Songming drew their swords at full strength, casting Myriad Dao sword light, and piloted the Spirit King Level warship forward, with shields up, in a vain attempt to block!
The people of the Dugu Clan were panicked, hurriedly scrambling to escape from the warship.
The Sword Qi from the Sword Domain swept through the air domain.
Bang bang bang!
Two Spirit King Level warships exploded like fireworks.
The other lesser warships silently turned into dust.
Even the two Spirit Kings hurriedly retreated, not daring to resist.
Sword Qi swept over everything!
The people of the Dugu Clan landed in disarray.
And moreover, many pieces of corpses rained down.
Not everyone escaped; about half died, roughly a hundred people!
“This… this Sword Domain is too terrifying!”
“Such powerful Sword Qi, truly worthy of being related to the Sword Venerable… too horrifying.”
“I actually survived…”
The survivors all felt a sense of escaping calamity!
“Second uncle, third uncle… what’s going on?!”
Dugu Daosi was unsettled, sweating profusely, as if he had just faced death.
And before him, both Dugu Songsi and Dugu Songming also had looks of utmost solemnity, with sweat droplets falling from their noses.
“Sword Venerable’s domain… is not to be violated!”
“We were careless just now!”
“If we had not actively attacked into the Sword Domain, we, would not have provoked its hostility.”
Dugu Songsi spoke, staring at Chen Yue and the others,
“Relying on the sword energy of the Left Hand Sword, they can enter it, and we can do the same using the Right Hand Sword’s sword energy!”
“These are all inheritances of the Sword Venerable!”
“Let’s go!”
He spoke!
