Supreme Emperor of Swords-Chapter 1291 - 96 Mu Tianyang (3)
Chapter 96 Mu Tianyang (3)
“Uncle Xing, I’ve heard a lot about you!” When those eunuchs stayed outside the palace hall, the handsome young man walked in and greeted Xing Mo.
“Nice to meet you.” Although Xing Mo didn’t know who he was, he still greeted him. After sitting down one after another, he asked, “May I know where Patriarch Yu is?”
The handsome young man smiled and pointed to himself. “I’m Yu Heng, the patriarch of the Yu Tribe.”
Seeing that Xing Mo was stunned, the handsome young man continued, “In fact, I just became the patriarch of the Yu Tribe a while ago.”
“Brother Yu has retired? Or…” Xing Mo faintly felt that something was amiss. Even his brows started to crease.
Ding Hao and Xuan Tianzong seemed to have noticed something, and their expressions became a little strange.
Yu Heng suddenly sighed, and his eyes were suffused with a trace of sorrow. After a long time, he said, “My father… perished in the battle with those dark creatures some time ago!”
“How could this be…” Xing Mo was stunned for a moment before he sighed as well. “Brother Yu and I met a few times. Even though our relationship isn’t deep, I’ve always admired him. I never imagined that a hero like Brother Yu would actually get killed those dark creatures. What a pity… Nephew Yu Heng, I’m sorry for your loss!”
Yu Heng took a deep breath and said slowly, “Although my father has fallen, I always have him in my heart. He is my role model and idol that I have always followed. I am proud to have such a father…”
From what he said, it could be seen that Yu Heng greatly admired his father.
“By the way, Uncle Xing, why did you come to the Yu Tribe this time?” Yu Heng asked.
“We are indeed here for something important.” Xing Mo nodded. After exchanging glances with Ding Hao and Xuan Tianzong, he continued, “The world is in chaos now, and there is an army of dark creatures wreaking havoc in the entire Primordial World. I’m sure you know this very well, Nephew Yu Heng…”
Seeing Yu Heng nod, Xing Mo spoke again. “Now, in addition to our Evil Yang Tribe, the Charm Tribe, and the Nine Spirits Tribe, only your Yu Tribe is safe. As the dark forces grow stronger, our remaining four major tribes should join forces to fight against the dark army…”
Yu Heng thought for a moment and noticed something. “Uncle Xing, do you mean that the four of us should form an alliance?”
“That’s right, that’s what I mean. Now that our Evil Yang Tribe has reached an agreement with the Charm Tribe and the Nine Spirits Tribe, only your tribe is left. What’s your opinion, Nephew Yu Heng?” Xing Mo asked.
Yu Heng did not hesitate and immediately replied, “Of course, I agree. The dark army is coming aggressively this time. The Yu Tribe has already suffered a lot. If we don’t form an alliance, I’m afraid that we will be devoured one by one sooner or later. In this case, we naturally can’t stick to the rules…
“In the name of the patriarch of the Yu Tribe, I agree to form an alliance with the Evil Yang Tribe, the Nine Spirits Tribe, and the Charm Tribe to fight against the dark forces. We’re bound to completely eradicate this excrescence of the Primordial World.”
Upon hearing Yu Heng’s agreement, Xing Mo revealed a look of joy. He immediately began to discuss the alliance with Yu Heng, including how to resist the dark creatures, as well as how the allies would communicate with each other.
These things only needed to be said by Xing Mo. Moreover, the alliance was the business of the four major tribes. Therefore, Ding Hao and Xuan Tianzong had not spoken much since Yu Heng appeared.
Of course, during this process, Xing Mo also introduced Ding Hao and Xuan Tianzong to Yu Heng.
After learning about Ding Hao and Xuan Tianzong, Yu Heng was very respectful to them.
After a short period of contact, Ding Hao also appreciated the new patriarch of the Yu Tribe.
…
After a long while, Xing Mo and Yu Heng finally settled the alliance matters temporarily.
“By the way, Nephew Yu Heng, may I ask… when did Brother Yu die?” Xing Mo asked.
“Two months ago!” Yu Heng didn’t avoid anything.
“Two months ago?!” Hearing this, Xing Mo was stunned and asked doubtfully, “That can’t be right. During these two months, didn’t the dark army attack you successively? If Brother Yu died two months ago, then who was the one who crushed the dark army?”
Before he came to the Yu Region, Xing Mo had already received some news about the Yu Tribe, which was about what happened between the tribe and the dark forces in the past two months.
It was said that more than a month ago, the dark army launched a surprise attack on the imperial city of the Yu Tribe and almost breached it.
That night, because it was too dark and the dark army moved like ghosts, they marched very fast. When they were almost a hundred meters away from the imperial city, the soldiers guarding the city gate noticed them. But when they sent a message to gather manpower, the dark army had already reached the city gate. They simply crossed the moat, and even the city gate was about to be broken through.
Although many soldiers and martial artists in the imperial city reacted fast enough, it was too late.
The next moment, just as the dark army was about to rush into the imperial city and slaughter their way in, a figure suddenly appeared and landed below the city gate.
The man, with merely one sword, actually blocked in front of the thousands of dark soldiers.
To everyone’s surprise, the many dark soldiers that were as ferocious as terrible beasts couldn’t even break through this man’s defenses. Instead, many of them had been killed.
In the end, the dark army was only able to stop the man when nearly ten high-level dark masters attacked at the same time. However, at that time, the people of the Yu Tribe had also arrived.
After the great battle, with that man taking action, the dark race army was no match for the people from the Yu Tribe. They could only give up this attack and escape from here.
In addition to this battle, the dark army had attacked many times in a row during this period, but that mysterious man would appear every time, turn the tables, and lead the people of the Yu Tribe to victory.
Because the news was not detailed, Xing Mo could not know who that man was. However, in his heart, although he felt that it was impossible, he also felt that this man might be Yu Deru. After all, in the entire Yu Tribe, Yu Deru was the only one who could do such a thing.
But now, it seemed that this man wasn’t Yu Deru.
However, if it wasn’t the previous patriarch of the Yu Tribe, then who exactly was it?
When did the Yu Tribe have such a powerful master?
As for Yu Heng who stood before him, Xing Mo didn’t think it was him who had achieved that. After all, Yu Heng’s cultivation had only attained the peak of the True Immortal Realm, and he didn’t even possess the strength of the one-apertured Eternal Realm. So, there was no way for him to have accomplished that.
Ding Hao and Xuan Tianzong also knew about those battles. When they heard that Yu Deru had unfortunately been killed two months ago, they immediately had the same question as Xing Mo.
When Yu Heng heard Xing Mo’s question, he knew what Xing Mo was referring to. He smiled slightly and said, “In fact, the reason why our Yu Tribe could have such glorious achievements was entirely due to the Regent of our tribe, who is also my master!”
“The Regent? Your master?” Xing Mo and Ding Hao looked at each other.
“Exactly, it’s my master!” Yu Heng nodded.
Xing Mo looked at Ding Hao and Xuan Tianzong. After seeing that they all nodded, he turn to Yu Heng and asked, “Nephew Yu Heng, your master is so powerful. I wonder if you can let us meet him so that we can get to know him…”
Ding Hao and Xuan Tianzong were very interested in this person. After all, it was not easy to repel the dark army, but that person had done it more than once. How could they not want to see such an extraordinary figure?
“Of course, all of you should get to know each other. Men, quickly invite Master over…” Yu Heng smiled as he replied, and then he turned around and instructed his servants.
A young eunuch answered, left the palace, and rushed in a certain direction.
About a quarter of an hour later, the young eunuch came back, and there was another person behind him.
That man was wearing white clothes. His appearance was handsome. His eyes were like silver, and his white hair was like snow. From head to toe, he was as white as snow. Even his eyebrows were white.
“Master, you’re here…” Yu Heng hurried to greet the man when he saw him. When he was about to introduce his master to Ding Hao and the others, he found that the scene was a little strange. After seeing his master, Ding Hao, and the others were all stunned.
“I didn’t expect to see you here…” Ding Hao looked at the man and murmured with a strange expression.
Evil Moon glared at the man and muttered, “Meow. You’re indeed good at hiding. Ding Hao and I have been looking for you for a long time…”
Xuan Tianzong raised his white eyebrows and smiled. “Tianyang, I’m very happy to see that you’re fine.”
This man was Mu Tianyang, the former archenemy of Ding Hao, a great disciple of Xuan Tianzong, and the monarch of the White-Robed Divine Palace in the Central Continent.
Since arriving in the Primordial World, Xuan Tianzong had been separated from Mu Tianyang. Previously, neither Xuan Tianzong nor Ding Hao had got any news about him.
They thought it would take some time to find him, but they didn’t expect to meet him here today.
“Master Devil! Ding Hao!” Mu Tianyang also narrowed his eyes slightly. Obviously, he did not expect to meet Ding Hao and Xuan Tianzong here.
He and Ding Hao had never seen each other since that duel with the fire artificer when Ding Hao had advanced to the Transcendence Eternal Realm. Now that they met, although they were not hostile toward each other as before, there were still faint sparks in the void when they looked at each other. Two sharp bolts of lightning were constantly colliding.
Mu Tianyang suddenly said, “You’ve become weaker. Since then, I’ll win the next battle!”
“Haha, that’s not for sure!” Ding Hao shrugged.
After saying that, they looked away.
“Hey! Master, you know them?!” Hearing their words, Yu Heng realized that his respected master knew Ding Hao and Xuan Tianzong.
Mu Tianyang walked up to them, cupped his hands to Xuan Tianzong, and then turned his head. He looked at Yu Heng and said, “This is my master, your grandmaster!”
“Grandmaster!” Hearing what Mu Tianyang said, Yu Heng hurriedly bowed deeply to Xuan Tianzong.
Mu Tianyang waved his sleeves, lifted Yu Heng up, and laughed, “It is unexpected that besides seeing my disciple whom I have not seen for many days, I now have a grand disciple…”
