Nine Revolutions Star Transformation-Chapter 242 - 241: Cyan Frost Sword Exposed
Chu Linfeng looked at Meng Ji, hoping she would tell him why she suddenly turned so angry towards him, even to the extent of wanting to kill him.
Meng Ji looked up at the sky and sighed deeply, saying, "Until when do you intend to deceive me? I treated you as a friend, but you treat me like a child to toy with. Should you not deserve to die for this?"
Chu Linfeng seemed to be hearing something significant from her words. It’s as if he didn’t tell her anything, yet how did he deceive? Feeling very puzzled in his heart, he said, "I don’t understand, when did I deceive you?"
Meng Ji laughed coldly, her laughter chilling to the bone, "You seem to have a sword, a sword that is just as rusty as the Cyan Frost Sword, don’t you?"
This was the sentence Chu Linfeng feared the most, yet it unexpectedly came from her mouth. The intelligence of Pingwu Auction House is indeed well-connected, even managing to uncover this.
Chu Linfeng was conflicted on whether to tell the truth or how to cover up this colossal lie, feeling very anxious at heart.
"Are you very curious about how I know this?" Meng Ji continued coldly.
"Indeed, very curious. If Master can clear the doubts in my heart, I would be immensely grateful," Chu Linfeng said with a bitter smile. In front of the powerhouses of Divine Martial Realm, he felt like nothing, easily exterminated with a mere gesture.
"It was said by people from the Assassin’s Guild. An assassin claimed to have seen you using a rusty weapon. Why do you lie to me?" Meng Ji said sternly, the demonic qi on her body constantly surging, seeming to be held back continuously.
Chu Linfeng knew that if he didn’t say something to quell her anger, he might be unable to pacify her heart. Thus, he said with a bitter smile, "Can you calm your emotions? Is it necessary to behave this way? Although we’ve not interacted for long, seeking companionship, I feel like I know you very well; you don’t need to be like this."
Meng Ji slowly restrained her aura and looked at Chu Linfeng, saying, "It seems you’ve decided that I won’t kill you, which is why you’re fearless. If that’s what you think, you’re wrong. The people I’ve killed are countless; not caring for you even one bit."
After saying this, Meng Ji felt an inexplicable pain in her heart, a vague but real ache, leaving her deeply puzzled.
Chu Linfeng smiled, "Why do you trust that assassin’s words so much? If I say I don’t have it, would you believe me?"
"I don’t believe you; you’re too cunning to be trusted. If you don’t bring out your Sword, I have ways to make you speak the truth." Meng Ji said.
"Lin Feng, take the sword out. Even if she gets it now, she won’t be able to break the seal. Your luck is certainly exceptional," Sword Spirit said at this moment.
Upon hearing Sword Spirit’s words, Chu Linfeng slowly took the Cyan Frost Sword out from the Storage Ring and said, "This is my Sword. Look closely to see if it’s the Cyan Frost Sword you’re looking for."
From the moment he took out the Cyan Frost Sword, Chu Linfeng had already thought of a way to keep this sword. Since it’s already known to her, hiding it would be impossible; only finding a way out was possible.
Seeing the Cyan Frost Sword in Chu Linfeng’s hand, Meng Ji suddenly became excited and grabbed it immediately, but just after holding the hilt, a huge rebound force emerged from the sword body, bouncing her off.
The Cyan Frost Sword fell directly on the ground, and the tiger mouth of Meng Ji’s hand was shockingly torn open, bleeding profusely.
The blood dripped onto the Cyan Frost Sword on the ground, and the sword body instantly burst into a dazzling white light, followed by a blurry voice appearing in the ears of the two.
"To break my seal, only the master of the Cyan Frost Sword can do it. My child, do not act recklessly; otherwise, the force of the seal will render you utterly annihilated."
Then the white light on the Cyan Frost Sword disappeared, returning to its original appearance, lying quietly on the ground.
Neither Chu Linfeng nor Meng Ji had anticipated such a bizarre event. Both quietly watched the Cyan Frost Sword, with Chu Linfeng being the most shocked.
The word ’my child’ revealed Meng Ji’s true identity. She had mentioned that inside the Cyan Frost Sword was a sealed residual soul, unexpectedly her father’s. No wonder she tirelessly sought it, yet Chu Linfeng didn’t understand why she searched in the realm of the Celestial Dragon Empire, instead of in places like Canglan Ancient Land, Sea Domain, and Divine Battlefield.
The person sealed in the Cyan Frost Sword, Chu Linfeng could clearly determine, was undoubtedly the Demon Lord who fought with the Green Frost Sect Master in the Divine Battlefield years ago. If this residual soul were released, he might genuinely resurrect, and then the world would truly become chaotic.
Calmly, Chu Linfeng picked up the Cyan Frost Sword from the ground and said, "Now you’ve seen this, correct? Shouldn’t you give up this thought? The fact that the Cyan Frost Sword is sealed is undeniable. Surely, you won’t try to kill me anymore!"
Meng Ji seemed to have entered a meditative state, taking a while to regain her consciousness, with tears appearing in her eyes as she looked at Chu Linfeng and said, "You knew all along that this sword was the Cyan Frost Sword, didn’t you?"
"Indeed, but it is sealed. Unlocking it is extremely difficult; currently, it can only be considered a Spirit Sword that cuts steel like mud. I know your purpose in seeking it, but rescuing it isn’t something done overnight; you should understand." Chu Linfeng said.
He couldn’t have dreamed of such a turn of events, perhaps an arrangement of fate. If his final opponent was himself releasing it, would not using this Cyan Frost Sword mean imprisoning this Demon forever?
"You are very mysterious; since only you can break this seal, naturally, I won’t kill you anymore. But you cheating me, that won’t be just let go. How can the seal be undone?" Meng Ji’s tone became even colder.
"Celestial Martial Divine Water and Holy Jade Snow Lotus, these two holy artifacts can unlock it, and I must reach Divine Martial Realm strength to do so," Chu Linfeng said, adding the latter part himself.
If Meng Ji happens to possess Celestial Martial Divine Water and Holy Jade Snow Lotus and asks him to release them immediately, wouldn’t he be doomed if the Demon Lord residual soul came out?
Upon hearing this, Meng Ji was instantly dejected, and after a long while, she said, "These two items are only found in the Divine Battlefield, yet no one knows where the Divine Battlefield is now, making it extremely challenging to find."
Chu Linfeng was taken aback by her words, "How could it disappear? Was the Divine Battlefield small?"
Meng Ji rolled her eyes at Chu Linfeng, saying, "The magnitude of the Divine Battlefield is beyond your imagination. If the Celestial Dragon Country is a drop of water, then the Divine Battlefield is a river or even an ocean. No one has traversed the entire Divine Battlefield, not even top-level Ninth Layer of Saint Martial Realm experts."
After that war, there hasn’t been a trace of the place, and for countless years, no supreme masters have found any results while searching for it everywhere."
Chu Linfeng pondered a while and asked, "What do you plan to do with the Cyan Frost Sword? And I don’t understand why you search in the Celestial Dragon Empire’s small range and not elsewhere."
"Our Demon Race has a Secret Technique that can gauge the general location being the Celestial Dragon Empire. The seal of the Cyan Frost Sword is too formidable; otherwise, it would have been found long ago. As for the Cyan Frost Sword, you should preserve it well. I hope you can reach Divine Martial Realm soon to help me save my father; I’ll agree to any of your requests when the time comes!" Meng Ji said.
"Even if I reach it, I dare not save him; your intention is more than I can bear," Chu Linfeng thought.
"I hope you keep the Cyan Frost Sword matter confidential. I wouldn’t want my life to end before breaking into Divine Martial Realm," Chu Linfeng stated. Since they need him, he must utilize it well; otherwise, valuable resources will be wasted.
"I’ve already slain the assassin for you, and I’ll send Ling’er to accompany you. Right now, I don’t wish to have any conflict with the Human Race; you should understand." Meng Ji said.
"The timing isn’t ripe, is it? If your old ghost dad were released, would you still speak calmly to me like this? You might have already killed me." Chu Linfeng thought.
"Should we head back? I have important items to auction tomorrow!" Chu Linfeng said.
"Today’s events mark a mutual agreement between us. When you break the Cyan Frost Sword seal, that will be the time for you to marry into the Demon Realm." After saying this, Meng Ji’s figure flashed and disappeared from sight.
"Goddamn! She just left me here! Marry into the Demon Realm? Damn, am I crazy? Don’t even think about it." Chu Linfeng said dejectedly, then headed in the direction of the city...
