Chapter 140: Chapter 91: An Old Acquaintance Seeks a Doctor (3)
For a full thirty years.
"To answer your question, Senior."
"He... his name is Xu Han!"
"Right now, he’s about to die! I’m begging you, Senior, please save him! The Black Abyss couldn’t find the Black Lotus Saint or the Wind Snow Sword Immortal, so they intend to use him to fulfill their quota. They want to offer him to the Black Abyss Ancestor to serve as a vessel for a soul possession..."
The frail figure kowtowed, her head striking the ground, her words filled with desperate concern as she pleaded with Su Chen.
A faint understanding dawned on her.
This clinic’s doctor looked so ordinary, but how could someone who associated with a Great Yu Magic Immortal like Yu Le truly be a mediocre mortal!
’He must be a High Tier Qi Cultivation Immortal.’
’Or even...’
’...one of the other two of the Three Immortals of Great Yu.’
"Hey, hey."
"You’ve misunderstood."
"Old Xuu is no ’Senior.’ He’s really just a normal person. Don’t drag him into this."
Yu Le frowned, unable to stop himself from trying to talk her down.
However...
In the next instant.
The world outside, once rich with the feel of autumn, suddenly turned bitterly cold. Outside the window, a wind began to blow, and snow started to fall.
The wind had risen.
And it was snowing.
"No."
"Old Xuu... You..."
Yu Le’s face was a mask of shock. He stared in disbelief at the mortal doctor who had been lazing around and waiting to die with him in this clinic, and he stumbled backward.
An utterly terrifying guess began to form in his mind.
Soon enough.
He shook his head and let out a derisive chuckle.
"How is that possible."
’I must be mistaken.’
’That Wind Snow Sword Immortal really has some timing, showing up in the Imperial City right now. It almost made me think...’
Su Chen didn’t look at him. He simply gazed at Princess Yunyang—an old acquaintance he had met once during the Great Liang Dynasty—and asked.
"One last question. Who are you, and who is Su Han..."
WENG!
Princess Yunyang’s scalp went numb. A trace of terror surfaced in her eyes as she looked at the wind and snow outside, then at the man before her, Su Chen, who seemed to have transformed completely. Her eyes were filled with shock.
’This absolutely cannot be a coincidence.’
’The man before me might just be... that existence whose very name is forbidden to be spoken in the Imperial City.’
By a strange twist of fate, she had come seeking the help of the Great Yu Magic Immortal hiding in the Imperial City, but who would have thought she would run into *him*—the one countless factions across the world were searching for!
Princess Yunyang’s first instinct was to lie.
But...
’Lying in the presence of this being means death!’
After a moment of hesitation...
She finally revealed the truth.
She struck her maidservant, knocking her unconscious.
Then, she employed some sort of technique to seal the clinic off from the outside.
"I am not the real Princess Yunyang. The real Princess Yunyang died when she was three years old. I am a deep-cover agent developed by Master Black Lotus, codenamed Heaven One."
"I was ordered to infiltrate the Great Liang Royal Family."
"Furthermore."
"I am also the second-generation Saint who succeeded Master Black Lotus, and Su Han is the second-generation Sect Leader. We faked our deaths at the Great Yu Imperial Mausoleum and roamed the world..."
"But the Black Abyss’s worldwide Net captured him, mistaking him for the Wind Snow Sword Immortal..."
The rest was no longer important.
Su Chen had already decided to act.
He took out his Sword Box, but alas, it was empty. The Dust-Washing Sword, having borne the will of Moon-slaying, had long since shattered into pieces.
Since then...
No Divine Weapon could be held in his hands.
’The Imperial City is like the Endless Sea.’
’Beneath its calm surface, who knows how many old monsters lie hidden.’
’Making a move is not the optimal solution for me.’
’Unfortunately.’
’Back then, I missed my chance.’
’I can’t continue to be wrong now!’
Su Chen’s heart pounded. Emotions were reawakening within him, resisting the drain of the Seed of Longevity.
Tree Whiskers surged.
Su Chen transformed back into his original appearance.
Clad in the Muddy World Profound Robe, the youth looked like an Immortal. But this time, his Star-like eyes were no longer cold as ice or chilling as water.
Instead, emotion was brewing within them.
Even if just for a moment, he wanted to be human in his own form, not just seem human when influenced by the personalities of others he disguised himself as.
"No freaking way."
"You... Old Xuu! You!!!"
"The Wind Snow Sword Immortal?!"
Yu Le was stunned. Only after Su Chen had walked out of the clinic did he snap back to his senses, letting out a terrified shout.
Holy hell!
It was really him.
This ordinary guy who had been bumming around and waiting to die with him for so long was actually the Wind Snow Sword Immortal!
How is that possible?!!
Holy hell!
’Is my Dharma Eye blind? We’ve shared a roof for almost a year, and I never saw through him.’
"I respectfully send off the Sword Immortal!"
Princess Yunyang kowtowed, her forehead pressed to the ground.
Outside the clinic.
The world was a canvas of ice and snow.
Su Chen, holding an umbrella, stepped onto the wind and rose. In an instant, he was hundreds of feet high, like a sword soaring to the heavens. Following the aura of the Wooden Token, he flew toward a great river a thousand li outside the Imperial City.
What was the purpose of this journey?
To kill!
After tonight, the Black Abyss—an organization that has spanned numerous dynasties, with a thousand-year legacy, standing undefeated—would be no more.
