Chapter 1343: Chapter 659: Dragon Soul Sword!
The man in elegant attire saw the situation and quickly suppressed his anger, respectfully saluting: "Greetings, Miss Bai."
Bai Ruoxue nodded slightly, then looked at Luo Yao, and said: "Mr. Luo, we meet again."
Luo Yao also recognized Bai Ruoxue, and he clasped his hands in greeting: "Miss Bai, it has been a while. I hope you have been well."
Bai Ruoxue smiled faintly and said: "Mr. Luo’s swordsmanship has improved considerably, truly commendable."
Luo Yao said modestly: "Miss Bai overpraises me, I have only fortunately gained some insights."
Bai Ruoxue didn’t say much more but instead looked at the man in elegant attire and said: "This gentleman, Mr. Luo is an honored guest of our ’Sword Pavilion’. If you dare to be disrespectful to him again, don’t blame me for being impolite."
The man in elegant attire changed his expression upon hearing this and quickly laughed apologetically: "Miss Bai, please quell your anger. I was blind and ignorant, offended Mr. Luo, and I shall immediately apologize to him."
Saying this, he walked up to Luo Yao and bowed deeply, saying: "Mr. Luo, I was blind and ignorant, offended you. Please be magnanimous and don’t hold it against me."
Luo Yao saw this and couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional.
He hadn’t expected Bai Ruoxue would stand up for him, which made him think even more highly of the ’Sword Pavilion’.
He smiled faintly and said: "Forget it, I didn’t take it to heart. You may leave."
The man in elegant attire felt as if he was granted an amnesty and quickly left with the house servant in shame.
Bai Ruoxue saw this and slightly nodded, then turned to Luo Yao, saying: "Mr. Luo, what are your plans for the future?"
Luo Yao pondered for a moment and said: "I plan to continue my cultivation journey, exploring broader horizons."
Bai Ruoxue smiled slightly upon hearing this and said: "Mr. Luo has high aspirations, truly admirable."
"If ever you have the time, you are welcome to visit our ’Sword Pavilion’, and we can explore the path of swordsmanship together."
Luo Yao’s heart stirred upon hearing this, and he said: "Thank you, Miss Bai, for the invitation. Should there be an opportunity, I will certainly visit."
The two chatted a bit more and then went their separate ways.
Originally, Luo Yao intended to leave.
But before he could walk far.
He was stopped by a mysterious figure in black clothing.
The man in black had connections to King Zhao of the Great Wilderness Dynasty.
And now that he was stopping Luo Yao, it was naturally for King Zhao’s future grand plans.
"Who are you?"
Luo Yao quietly inquired of the mysterious man in black before him.
The mysterious man in black did not directly answer Luo Yao’s question; he slowly lifted his head, and his deep eyes flickered with an eerie light in the dimness, as if penetrating the soul.
His voice was deep and hoarse, as if it came from the Nine Netherlands: "Mr. Luo, my master has an invitation for you."
Luo Yao frowned; he did not know this mysterious man in black, nor did he know who his "master" was.
But he could sense the powerful aura emanating from the other person, knowing this was no ordinary individual.
Despite his doubts, he maintained a calm demeanor and asked coolly: "Who is your master? Why invite me?"
The man in black smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Luo, you will know when you arrive, please follow me."
Saying this, he turned to leave, seemingly unconcerned that Luo Yao might refuse.
Luo Yao thought for a moment and decided to follow to find out.
Though curious, he was also confident.
After all, his swordsmanship had now reached a new level, and he felt he could hold his own even against powerful adversaries.
The two traveled one after the other through the night.
Soon, they arrived at a quiet estate.
The estate was brightly lit, with pavilions and towers arranged elegantly, looking very refined.
Luo Yao followed the man in black to a study, where a low conversation emanated from inside.
The man in black pushed open the door, with Luo Yao following closely behind.
Inside, a middle-aged man sat, his face scholarly and his demeanor extraordinary—it was King Zhao of the Great Wilderness Dynasty.
Luo Yao’s heart jolted, not expecting the mysterious man in black to be an aide of King Zhao.
King Zhao saw Luo Yao, and a hint of appreciation flickered in his eyes; he smiled and said: "Mr. Luo, famed throughout, truly deserving after meeting you today."
Luo Yao clasped his hands in courtesy and said: "King Zhao overpraises me; may I ask what guidance King Zhao has for inviting me here?"
King Zhao smiled slightly and said: "No guidance to offer, just admiration upon hearing of Mr. Luo’s extraordinary swordsmanship, thus this invitation."
Luo Yao’s heart stirred; he knew King Zhao wouldn’t invite him here without reason.
But he didn’t inquire further, just quietly waited for King Zhao to continue.
Sure enough, King Zhao soon shifted his tone, saying: "Mr. Luo, are you aware that the Great Wilderness Dynasty’s situation is turbulent, with covert maneuvers by various factions? Though the Zhao Family is part of the imperial clan, we face substantial challenges."
Luo Yao’s heart stirred, knowing King Zhao was probing his stance.
He pondered for a moment and said: "The situation in the Great Wilderness Dynasty is not my concern."
"I am merely a cultivator, focused solely on my path."
King Zhao heard this and showed a hint of disappointment.
But he quickly returned to his usual demeanor and said: "Mr. Luo, truly noble, undisturbed by worldly matters. Nonetheless, my reason for inviting you here today is to seek assistance with an important matter."
Luo Yao frowned, knowing that what King Zhao was about to say was certainly significant.
He asked solemnly: "What is it?"
King Zhao took a deep breath and said: "Our Zhao Family possesses a treasured sword named ’Dragon Soul Sword’.
"This sword is an ancient divine artifact of immense power."
