Chapter 1172 - Lin Family’s Sword Ancestor
As Lu Ping’s voice echoed, he sheathed his sword.
The sword wind scattered, and the world gradually descended into silence. The whole city was engulfed in a scary silence. Even the sound of a falling needle could be clearly heard.
The outcome wasn’t what they expected. That was especially the case for the process.
Lu Ping didn’t leave them even enough time to prepare themselves. His Sword Soul suddenly appeared as he used a terrifying sword move.
“You!” Lin Xuan’s chest was stained with blood. His face was pale, and his thick brows were furrowed.
Even though he was proud and arrogant, he was still weak and frail in front of the ruthless and bloody reality. When his body was about to be torn to shreds, the necklace hung around his neck shone brightly and turned into dust. Even though it saved his life, he still ended up sustaining heavy injuries.
“Do you now realize how ridiculous you are?” Lu Ping asked.
“What a shocking aura!”
Wu Ming let out a breath. He was an impressive past master of the Sword Tower, yet he was still restrained by a woman, who seemed like a young girl.
Lu Ping rushed over, but it was too late. His mind was filled with Lin Yueru’s words. Long Xing? Is it the Sovereign Spirit Palace’s Long Xing?
He had heard that name once in Qingtian City. At that time, Tianyin awakened a Sovereign Spirit, so he got to hear about the Sovereign Spirit Palace due to her.
Long Xing should have been someone able to meddle with Yin and Yang, steal natural destiny, and control the Nirvana, death, and life. He even controlled the cycle of reincarnation. He set a plan for the rebirth of Great Sovereigns to help the Nine Realms get many Great Sovereigns.
Even though in his past life Jiang Chen was the Sacred Zone’s greatest young master, he was still vastly inferior to that person. However, what was his relationship with this person?
When Jiang Chen was reborn among flames, he went back to the Sacred Zone and experienced a great ordeal. He couldn’t help but make assumptions about this situation.
“I have too few pieces of information about this matter, and I’m not able to discern anything.” Lu Ping let out a helpless sigh.
He wanted to ask Lin Yueru to clarify everything for him. As he thought about Lin Yueru’s reaction, he couldn’t help but feel scared. Her character was similar to Lin Shuangyue, which was the reason why Lin Yueru got close to the young girl.
Since someone like Lin Yueru was alarmed, it could be discerned that what was hidden behind this situation was quite dangerous.
Lu Ping flew back to the ground. Upon seeing Lin Shuangyue’s expression, he could tell that she was oblivious to her great-aunt’s whereabouts. He asked, “What provoked her?”
As Lin Shuangyue thought back about what had happened in the hall, she couldn’t help but blame herself. She assumed that there wasn’t anything in the world that could baffle her great-aunt, nor was there anything she couldn’t solve.
Lu Ping had a firm will. If he didn’t possess great resolution, he wouldn’t have managed to walk down his current path. He wouldn’t let mere doubts disturb him.
He recalled the statement. “The answer among the fog is hidden behind a steep cliff.” Its meaning was that if someone who wasn’t strong enough pursued the answer rigidly, he would walk into the fog and fall off the cliff, to his death.
Even Lin Yueru was afraid of such a person. It was obvious that Lu Ping couldn’t settle the issue. Additionally, it still seemed from Lin Yueru’s earlier appearance that she was forced to distance herself from him.
Lin Yueru, who had traveled far away, was watching the sun set. There was an indescribable look on her face as she muttered to herself, “Big brother, is it really you?”
She seemed quite sad and dejected.
