Chapter 2848: Shock! Translator: Legge From a friend. Nian Qi’s words reassured Sword Immortal Yue Hua. Initially, Sword Immortal Yue Hua was not confident about this trip. But now, looking at God Daughter Nian Qi’s attitude towards him, his confidence suddenly increased. At the side, Meng Yao frowned. She was much more sensitive and she could vaguely sense that God Daughter Nian Qi’s words seemed to have a deeper meaning. However, she could not figure it out at the moment. Nian Qi said, ”Do forgive me for coming out a little late, Fellow Daoists. I was delayed by another guest of mine, Fellow Daoist Su Zhu.” “Fellow Daoist Su Zhu?” Sword immortal Yue Hua’s heart skipped a beat as he asked hurriedly, “Are you referring to the Peak Master of the Sword World’s ninth Sword Peak?” “Yes.” Nian Qi nodded and asked, “You recognize him?” Sword immortal Yue Hua smiled and raised his voice. “Although I’ve never met Fellow Daoist Su Zhu, everyone in the medium chiliocosm knows the title of the Peak Master of the ninth Sword Peak!” “Fellow Daoist Su Zhu and I are both sword cultivators and can be considered as fellow cultivators of the same Dao. I only regret that we’re not fated to know one another. In fact, I was looking forward to an opportunity to meet him for my trip to the Blessed Heaven World this time round.” Meng Yao was pleasantly surprised as well. Previously, the two of them were still discussing Su Zhu of the Sword World. To think that they would receive news of Su Zhu of the Sword World from the God race. If they could befriend Fellow Daoist Su Zhu here at the residence of the God race, it would be killing two birds with one stone! At that thought, Meng Yao stood up as well. “I’ve admired Fellow Daoist Su Zhu’s reputation for a long time. Although I’m not a sword cultivator, I’m quite knowledgeable in the zither. If there’s a chance, I’m willing to play a song for Lady Nian Qi and Fellow Daoist Su Zhu. I hope that you guys can give me comments on it.” Given Meng Yao’s reputation as the Zither Immortal back then, she had never been so submissive and took the initiative to play the zither for others. But now, in order to get to know experts and make connections in the Blessed Heaven World, she could not care less. Nian Qi smiled without saying anything. Sword Immortal Yue Hua coughed gently. “It might be a little presumptuous. If Fellow Daoist Su Zhu is also in your esteemed place, why don’t you invite him out so that the two of us can pay him a visit in person as well? “Sure.” Nian Qi agreed casually. Sword Immortal Yue Hua and Meng Yao were delighted. “We’ll talk about that later.” Suddenly, Nian Qi changed the topic and asked, “Why are you guys here this time round?” Sword Immortal Yue Hua retracted his smile immediately and said with a serious expression, “The two of us belong to the orthodox sects of the Heavenly World and we’ve always upheld justice and righteousness. We take it upon ourselves to slay demons and fiends. Unexpectedly, we were severely injured by a great fiend who committed all sorts of evil and suffered the pain of Eternal Damnation.” “Sigh.” Sword immortal Yue Hua sighed and grabbed his empty sleeve with one hand. “That fiend was scheming and left us alive deliberately. He used the divine power of Eternal Damnation to destroy our minds and wills, hoping that we d submit to him.” Naturally, he had prepared those words long ago with the goal of gaining the sympathy of the God race. Meng Yao added, “Back then, I was competing with a Zither Fiend and it was supposed to be a fair competition of our zither skills. However, the Zither Fiend flew into a rage out of humiliation after she lost. The great fiend who was backing her attacked and injured me.” Of course, those words were also distorting the truth. Back in the battle beneath the Builder Tree, the Zither Immortal lost and flew into a rage out of humiliation. She wanted to ambush Zither Fiend Qiu Siluo but was stopped by Desolate Martial who slapped her in the face! Those details could probably only be seen clearly by people who were present. The reason why Sword Immortal Yue Hua and Meng Yao dared to spout nonsense was because they were certain that God Daughter Nian Qi, who was far away in the Light World, would not know the exact details of the battle in the Builder Tree Mountain Range. Nian Qi said, “In that case, what happened to the two of you is indeed regretful.” “This woman looks so young. She’s indeed gullible. When Sword Immortal Yue Hua saw Nian Qi’s friendly tone, he was secretly delighted and continued, “The two of us heard that the royal family of the God race specializes in a healing technique that is unparalleled in the world and can remove the remnant divine power left behind by Eternal Damnation.” “Therefore, Lady Nian Qi, the two of us are here this time round to plead with you. Could you please help us escape the pain of Eternal Damnation?” As they approached, Sword Immortal Yue Hua removed his storage bag hurriedly. “I’ve long prepared a generous gift for you, Lady Nian Qi. Please accept it.” Meng Yao handed over her storage bag hurriedly as well. Nian Qi did not receive them and merely smiled. “If the two of you recover from your injuries, what are your plans for the future? Sword Immortal Yue Hua and Meng Yao were excited when they heard the words ‘recover from your injuries’. From God Daughter Nian Qi’s tone, she seemed to have the intention of helping them! Sword Immortal Yue Hua knelt down hurriedly and cupped his fists towards Nian Qi with a respectful expression. “Lady Nian Qi, if you’re willing to help me heal my injuries from Eternal Damnation, I’m willing to listen to your orders in the future without hesitation!” When Meng Yao saw Sword Immortal Yue Hua kneeling on the ground with a thud, she knew she could not remain standing at the side either. She swallowed her dignity and knelt down as well. Sword immortal Yue Hua continued, “Of course, if I recover from my injuries, the first thing I’ll do is return to the Heavenly World and take revenge on that fiend!” However, Sword Immortal Yue Hua had other plans in his mind. Right now, he was just putting on an act. If his injuries were to recover, he would have a chance of taking another step forward and stepping into the Grotto-heaven realm to become an Immortal King when he returned to the Heavenly World! As for what he said today, he would naturally pretend that nothing had happened. “Revenge?” An imperceptible mockery flashed through Nian Qi’s eyes as she asked, “Can you defeat him?” “I—” Sword immortal Yue Hua opened his mouth and the image of the insufferably arrogant and invincible figure beneath the Builder Tree appeared in his mind. He felt immense pressure once more, as though a nightmare was enveloping him and his heart palpitated. The big words that were about to come out of his mouth could not be said for the time being. At the side, Meng Yao’s expression was cold as she suddenly said, “We can’t defeat that fiend now, but we can cut off his wings first!” “That fiend established Tianhuang Sect in the Fiend Domain of the Heavenly World and it’s filled with heinous fiend cultivators. If I can recover from my injuries and regain my combat strength this time round, I’ll definitely destroy Tianhuang Sect!” Of course, Meng Yao wanted to do more than that. She wanted to destroy Tianhuang Sect and kill the Zither Fiend! The Zither Fiend had already become her mental demon! Only by killing the Zither Fiend would she have a chance to advance further! She wanted to take back everything that belonged to her! “Destroy Tianhuang Sect…” Nian Qi said expressionlessly. When Sword Immortal Yue Hua and Meng Yao heard Nian Qi’s tone, they felt that something was amiss. Before they could react, Nian Qi said, “The two of you wanted to pay your respects to Fellow Daoist Su Zhu earlier on, right?” “That’s right!” Sword Immortal Yue Hua and Meng Yao nodded hurriedly. Nian Qi said, “He’s already here and is right behind you guys.” “Huh?” Sword Immortal Yue Hua and Meng Yao were shocked. From the corner of their eyes, the two of them indeed caught a glimpse of a figure sitting not far behind them! The two of them did not notice when this person entered the hall or when he was sitting there! The two of them were surprised and delighted. They turned around hurriedly and raised their hands. Just as they were about to bow, they were suddenly stunned on the spot and widened their eyes… The surprise from earlier on vanished instantly. In its place was endless shock!
