I Have a Golden Crow-Chapter 818 - 550: Little Sword, Don’t Run Away (Part 2)

Ye Xihai walked at the front, clad in a conical hat and a raincoat, with a long bamboo pole on his shoulder and Black Ghost Cormorants perched on both ends, causing the crowd to retreat cautiously.

Du Yu lowered the brim of his hat, handed over his ID to the gate guard, and only after triple-checking was he allowed into the Cold Lake Sword Realm.

Amidst the buzzing discussions from behind, the figures of the two quickly vanished into the dense mountain forest.

As Ye Xihai said, the terrain of the Cold Lake Sword Realm is complex, with lake districts scattered throughout the deep mountains and forests, making it quite difficult to navigate.

If Du Yu were alone, he might choose to travel through the air.

But under Ye Xihai's guidance, the two arrived at a wide river. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Let's go," Ye Xihai lifted the bamboo pole from his shoulder and threw it into the water, "We'll follow the water up, and that will lead us to the Central Lake District."

Du Yu: "This..."

Ye Xihai leaped lightly, standing steadily on the palm-width bamboo pole.

The Black Ghost Cormorants at both ends of the pole paddled their webbed feet, controlling their strength with remarkable precision.

Even though the river water was rapid, the bamboo pole remained steadily in place.

Du Yu marveled silently in his heart, "I'm afraid I'll sink it."

Ye Xihai propped up the brim of his conical hat, "It won't sink, the Black Ghost is here, come on."

Du Yu still chose to use Wind around the feet, carefully landing on the bamboo pole.

"Woo~"

"Woo!" The Black Ghost Cormorants called softly, guarding the bamboo pole and paddling upstream.

Du Yu watched with great interest, finding it all very novel.

In the past, there was the Dharma Ancestor crossing the river on a reed,

Now it is I, Du Yu, crossing on a pole...

Hmm, feels pretty cool~

If it were Master Qing riding the pole, it would probably be quite picturesque, right?

"By the way, Xi River," Du Yu looked at the fisherman ahead, "What's the personality of Cold Lake Sword like, easy to talk to?"

Ye Xihai: "Cold and arrogant. Such divine weapons are full of majesty and momentum.

But if we don't provoke it, it won't harm people without reason.

When you challenge it later, be sure to show respect. Even if you fail the challenge, it won't pursue endlessly."

Du Yu nodded, "Hmm."

Ye Xihai: "Also, when you negotiate with Cold Lake Sword, never mention that saber."

Du Yu: "..."

Ye Xihai: "You know about Cold Lake Sword's Demon Soldier Array, right? Should I explain it again to you?"

"Sure." Du Yu had certainly done his research, but reviewing is always good.

Ye Xihai clearly understood Cold Lake Sword thoroughly, reciting its details like familiar treasures: "The First Array is called Sword Wave.

Cold Lake Sword can create water waves of varying sizes, from gentle ripples to a massive tsunami.

The Second Array is called Sword Qi, which is an exceedingly cold breath capable of freezing everything.

Even a surging sea wave can instantly freeze into a glacier.

The Third Array is Sword Curtain, a defensive measure.

Cold Lake Sword can form a thin, transparent ice crystal wall or a flawless ice crystal sphere, with remarkable defensive power.

The Fourth Array is Sword Intent, capable of elemental materialization.

It can utilize Water Demon Breath, gathering it into a mighty warrior to fight wielding a sword."

Ye Xihai paused, then continued, "The Fifth Array is Sword Soul.

This you should be familiar with, similar to the Mountain Fire Blade Soul, available in various sizes.

But Cold Lake Sword is very stable, not angry, won't constantly release Blade Soul like Mountain Fire Saber, destroying all."

"The Sixth Array..."

Du Yu slightly raised an eyebrow, "Frost Sword?"

Ye Xihai nodded repeatedly, "Yes, but so far no one has seen the Sixth Array, it is only passed down orally.

It's said that Cold Lake Sword can freeze the heavens and earth with one strike.

Sounds incredibly powerful, but no one knows if it's true."

Du Yu nodded, "Hmm..."

The two chatted leisurely along the way, while the mountain forest on both sides receded, and the bamboo pole crossed numerous lake districts, moving upstream.

As they kept walking, Du Yu noticed that the trees beside the river gradually became adorned with ice and snow.

The frosted leaves sparkled brightly in the sunlight.

Seemingly a snowy mountain forest yet still lush with greenery.

Truly a wonderful scene!

In the midst of Du Yu's silent admiration, the sound of the waterfall grew louder.

"Crash..."

Du Yu looked up and saw the enormous waterfall cascading down with quite some momentum.

"Woo~" The Black Ghost Cormorants fluttered their wings, guarding the bamboo pole with their webbed feet.

Then, the two cormorants carried the bamboo pole, slanting up the waterfall, ultimately landing in an immensely vast lake.

Du Yu's view widened, but visibility decreased.

In the distance, white cold mist shrouded the world.

Looking up, Du Yu saw a sword hilt faintly visible in the cold mist a hundred meters high.

Holy Weapon·Cold Lake Sword?

Off to the left in the distance was a black canopy boat, quietly docked on the lake.

On the boat, a pair of middle-aged men and women were staring this way.

"My father, Ye Yong'en, and my mother, Qu Ya." Ye Xihai began to introduce, waving continuously to his parents.

Du Yu gazed at the couple that seemed like an immortal pair, immediately cupping his fists to salute across the distance.

But he was a bit surprised in his heart, "Why do your parents look so young?"

Ye Xihai laughed, "My father is already 50 years old, the profession of Demon Taming is quite nourishing."

"Oh oh." Du Yu also realized he had encountered experts!

The couple was dressed in long shirts and gowns, looking graceful and exuding extraordinary temperament.

Looking again at Ye Xihai's fisherman attire with a conical hat and raincoat, Du Yu suddenly understood a truth.
