Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me-Chapter 569 - 529 Bronze Precious Sword_1

Following the mountain path upward, Lu Chuan didn’t know how much longer it would take to find the Carefree Taoist Priest.

But as of now, he had easily crossed the obstacles and checkpoints on these roads.

Their effects were almost negligible.

Lu Chuan followed the path forward and, after not too far, suddenly saw that the road ended ahead, beyond which lay a sheer cliff; a careless step could send one plummeting down.

Lu Chuan looked to the cliff beside him, where vines were coiled around it.

It seemed that from here on, he would have to climb upwards following the vines.

Just as Lu Chuan reached out to grab a vine, he immediately felt a stabbing pain.

The vine was covered with dense, sharp thorns, like countless steel needles embedded within.

Lu Chuan gritted his teeth and, gripping the vine tightly, started to climb upward.

It was just some flesh wounds, after all, the Nine Heavens Profound Fire could instantly heal them back to their original state.

Ascending along the vines, Lu Chuan finally made it up and came to a flat clearing.

After resting for a moment, Lu Chuan looked forward and in the distance, through the woods, he saw a thatched cottage.

"That... can’t be the Carefree Taoist Priest’s house, can it? He lives quite simply."

Lu Chuan stood up and walked towards the thatched cottage.

As he neared, Lu Chuan saw a wisp of smoke rising.

A figure clad in coarse hemp clothes was squatting in front of a stove boiling tea.

"Greetings, elder!"

Lu Chuan approached and called out a greeting.

The person turned his head and, upon seeing Lu Chuan, was taken aback with surprise.

His hair was already graying, his face covered with wrinkles, and he had age spots dotting his visage.

Yet, Lu Chuan could tell that his aura was not ordinary; he was not just an average old man in his twilight years.

"You... you’ve completed the path at the mountain’s base?"

He asked curiously.

"That’s right, otherwise how would I show up here?"

"But how come you don’t have a single injury on you?"

In his nearly a hundred years of life, he had never seen anyone finish that path unscathed, so when he first saw Lu Chuan, he even thought Lu Chuan had flown up.

"What are you saying, do I have to be injured to count?"

"It’s evident that you’re quite powerful."

"You’re young, but you have a bright future ahead."

He chuckled, stroking his white beard.

Lu Chuan sat next to him and asked, "Carefree Taoist Priest, I’ve come to ask you about the time you eradicated the evil entity in Carefree City."

"That was decades ago, what do you want with that?"

"Here’s the thing, yesterday, some kind of evil spirit appeared again in Carefree City."

"After I killed a certain person, there emerged a black soul-like entity that seemed to be made of nothingness from his body."

"It might be an evil spirit, or a malevolent soul. I heard you’ve had experience, so I came to ask."

Upon hearing this, the old man’s brow immediately furrowed.

"Uh... that was a long time ago, I only remember that the evil being had invaded the body of the City Lord of Carefree City, leaving him weak and full of lesions."

"Fortunately, I acted in time and saved the City Lord’s life."

"He wanted to reward me with wealth and a grand mansion, but I refused them all."

Lu Chuan then asked, "What if you hadn’t acted in time? Would the City Lord have died? The evil spirit would seek a new target?"

"No, that evil spirit has the ability to parasitize hosts. Once the host dies, it will replace the host."

Lu Chuan hurriedly said, "Isn’t this similar to Body Possession by Soul?"

"It is similar, but not exactly the same."

"Such evil spirits are troublesome, ordinary people can’t detect them, until the person is completely replaced, and those around are totally unaware."

"The trouble is right there, if no one believes you, you’ll have a hard time."

"If it hadn’t been for the City Lord being on his last breath, a dying horse treated as a live one, I probably wouldn’t have had this chance."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan immediately felt curious. How could there be an evil spirit present in Lu Jue’s body? ƒreewebɳovel.com

With so many strong individuals in the Lu family, could no one notice this?

Lu Chuan then remembered the scene when Lu Jue played his trump card.

At that time, a foul smell emanated from his body, and his black blood surged up, strengthening his physique.

This meant that Lu Jue knew there was an evil spirit parasitizing him.

Even more, he had utilized the power of the evil spirit to fight.

Lu Jue was still Lu Fusheng’s son. It was impossible for Lu Fusheng to be unaware of Lu Jue’s condition.

"Since you’ve passed the trials I set, I shall give you your reward."

After saying this, he took off a bronze longsword from his waist, held the sword with one hand, and handed it to Lu Chuan.

"Is this sword for me?"

"Yes, take it. I see you have extraordinary talent. Since you and I are fated, of course, I should pass on my mantle to someone destined."

Lu Chuan raised both hands, took the bronze sword, and carefully observed it. He found that this precious sword looked quite ordinary, just like a common longsword forged by a blacksmith.

"Senior, may I ask, what use is this sword?"

"It can sever evil spirits and also exorcise them to protect the body. Keep this precious sword well, and when facing evil spirits in the future, you will stand on invincible ground!"

Then, he stood up and walked towards the back of the thatched cottage.

Lu Chuan quickly followed.

Immediately after, Lu Chuan was startled to see a black silhouette squatting motionless in the corner.

The black figure was not a corpse, it appeared very vague, and the face and skin details could not be seen.

The entire body seemed semi-transparent.

"You see, this is an evil spirit. With this precious sword, you can chop off its limbs and deprive it of mobility."

"Senior, how long have you been keeping it here?"

"Almost for decades now. Exactly how long, I’m afraid I can’t quite recall."

He chuckled, "This fellow can talk and even converse with me occasionally, but when I ask him some critical information, he falls silent."

"The first thing I do when I wake up every day is to chop off the limbs it has regrown."

"Now, I’m giving you the precious sword, and this evil spirit’s existence should also come to an end."

Just then, the Carefree Taoist Priest flipped his palm, took out a talisman, quickly stepped forward, and pasted the talisman on the evil spirit’s head.

The next moment, the evil spirit burst into flames, and in less than half a minute, it was completely burned to nothingness, vanishing from sight.

"Young man, I also have a sword manual, take it down the mountain with you. You’ll continue the task of eradicating evil spirits in the future."

He took out an old sword manual from his bosom, with four large characters on it: Carefree Sword Technique.

Lu Chuan received the sword manual with both hands, bowed and said hastily, "Thank you for your generous gift, Carefree Taoist Priest. I will not fail your expectations, and I will do my utmost to slay the evil beings of the world."

"Youngster, what’s your name?"

"Lu Chuan!"

"Lu Chuan... I hope to see you again someday. I’m a loner with not much to give you, but it’s time for you to go down the mountain."

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, "Someday, when I make a name for myself in the Kunlun Domain, I will surely return to see you once more."
