Eternal Saber

"Haitang, it’s been years since we last met, how did you become so formidable?"

"Before, I thought you were dead and cried secretly several times."

"Later, it was Jingren who sent a message, saying you were still alive and kicking in Nanxia, which put my mind at ease."

"Who are these people? Your friends? I really envy you, you have so many friends. I only have you, Jingren, and Big Heigou."

"Ah, poor Big Heigou, it’s been ages since I last saw him..."

After descending the mountain, two days later, Lu Qing’s feelings of disappointment and sadness were quickly replaced by the joy of reuniting with Chen Tang after a long time.

For the past two years, she hadn’t had many people to talk to.

Following Chen Tang along the way, she chattered non-stop as if to spill out all the words accumulated in her heart over these two years.

Chen Tang occasionally chatted with her, occasionally smiled knowingly, and wasn’t bothered at all.

Along the way, he seemed to have returned to a few years ago when they met and bonded in an old temple and started their journey through Jianghu.

The group crossed mountains and ridges and entered Qian State within a few days.

"Where are we heading?"

After entering Qian State, the presence of soldiers noticeably increased, and the security was tight. Lu Qing became cautious and asked, "Breaking into the Capital City like this doesn’t seem appropriate."

"In the Capital City, there are Murong Daoye and the Profound Celestial Sect Leader two powerful figures. Although you are strong, Haitang, you might not be their match."

"Indeed."

Chen Tang said, "Therefore, we need to find a way to lure these two away."

As long as there’s no Grandmaster of Transformation Realm in Daqian Capital City, with his current prowess, he could practically sweep through everything!

Lu Qing curiously asked, "How do we lure away a Grandmaster?"

"First, let’s set up a meeting here in the Capital City."

Chen Tang left White Ape and Xue Tuan’Er in the mountainous area of Qian State, then brought Lu Qing, Mei Yingxue, and others to a Wuliushan Manor outside the Capital City, handed over a Token.

Before long, the back door of the manor opened.

Someone led Chen Tang and his group to a room in the inner courtyard for a brief rest, and soon after, the Manor Master of Wuliushan Manor came running over.

"I am Gongsun Hao, greetings to you young heroes."

The Manor Master of Wuliushan Manor was a middle-aged man, dressed in an elegant long gown, with a jade crown on his head, usually entertained himself with poetry and painting, was fond of qin, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and was considered a famous figure near the Capital City.

In fact, this person was from the Changsun Family.

When parting with Changsun Ming in Liangzhou City, the two sides discussed the follow-up.

Changsun Ming gave Chen Tang a token of evidence and informed him of this place.

Gongsun Hao returned the token to Chen Tang, respectfully cupped his hands and asked, "The Young Master instructed that if someone comes with this token, I should heed the orders of the bearer."

"Nothing urgent, no need to worry."

Chen Tang smiled lightly and said, "Send someone to the Capital City, just tell Changsun Ming I’ve arrived, he’ll understand what it means."

"Easy enough."

Gongsun Hao understood and left.

In the Capital City, the security was tight, and there was a Grandmaster of Transformation Realm stationed, so Chen Tang dared not take risks and could only wait outside the Capital City.

-----------------

Daqian Capital City, Grand General’s Mansion.

In a small courtyard, an elderly man, eight feet tall and with a dignified aura, appeared troubled at this moment. Beside him, a graceful woman newlywed kept pestering him, chattering on incessantly.

Standing nearby was a young man with a straight figure and a stance like a spear.

"Grandfather, just accompany us for a walk outside the city, please."

"Grandfather, it’s been so many years since you last took Haitang out for a walk, our grandfather-granddaughter bond has grown distant..."

The graceful woman and the young man were Murong Haitang and Changsun Ming.

The elderly man was Daqian’s First War God, Murong Daoye.

At this moment, listening to his granddaughter’s words, Murong Daoye couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth, pointed to the sky, and said, "It’s the middle of the night, and you want me to accompany you two for a walk outside the city?"

Changsun Ming listened, sweating profusely, not daring to speak on the side.

He was very afraid of this master.

Murong Haitang however, said matter-of-factly, "When the night is quiet and nobody disturbs, that’s the best time for a walk, to whisper secrets."

Murong Daoye sneered inwardly.

Though he didn’t know what these two kids were plotting, it certainly wasn’t any nonsense about taking a walk.

"Grandfather~~"

Murong Haitang tugged at Murong Daoye’s large hand, shaking it persistently, and said in a coquettish voice, "Please, please!"

Murong Daoye couldn’t resist his granddaughter’s plea and finally said, "Alright, where are we going for a walk?"

Changsun Ming, seeing the master relent, was overjoyed and promptly said, "To Wu..."

"First, outside the city!"

Murong Haitang quickly cut him off, giving him a glare.

Changsun Ming realized he almost let the cat out of the bag.

Murong Daoye remained expressionless, thinking, "I’ll see what these two kids are up to. Wu, Wuliushan Manor perhaps? That should be the Changsun family’s place..."

"Let’s go!"

Murong Daoye grabbed one in each hand, suddenly soared into the sky like a great bird, swiftly crossing over the Capital City, his body technique extremely fast.

Changsun Ming and Murong Haitang only felt the wind howling past their ears, the scenery around them rapidly receding.

It seemed like not long before they had stopped.

Changsun Ming and Murong Haitang opened their eyes to find the three of them had already arrived outside Wuliushan Manor!

"Master..."

Changsun Ming felt a little apprehensive.

However, Murong Haitang chuckled and said, "Grandfather is really too smart, nothing can be hidden from you."

"Hmm!"

Murong Daoye snorted coldly and said, "Now tell me, what are you two kids up to?"

Murong Haitang said, "Actually, it’s nothing much, someone wants to meet with grandfather."

"Oh?"

Murong Daoye’s expression changed.

Someone wants to see me, but doesn’t dare to enter the Capital?

Who is this person?

Which Grandmaster, or Grandmaster of Transformation Realm?

Countless figures flashed through Murong Daoye’s mind.

Yet, these people shouldn’t have any connection with Changsun Ming and Murong Haitang, so why would they seek them out?

Changsun Ming continued, "He also said that grandfather would definitely want to see him too."

"Oh?"

Murong Daoye’s eyes brightened, growing even more curious.

Someone he also wants to meet?

Playing mysterious, I must see who this person is!

Soon, someone came to greet at the entrance of Wuliushan Manor.

They led Murong Daoye and the two to weave through the manor and into a courtyard.

The courtyard’s layout was quite simple, with only a stone table and a few stone stools.

A young man in a black robe sat on a stone stool, and upon seeing Murong Daoye and the others, he stood up, took a few steps forward, and respectfully saluted, "Junior Chen Tang, greets Elder Murong."

"It’s you?"

Suddenly, two dazzling, piercing beams of light shot from Murong Daoye’s eyes, like two scorching suns, staring fixedly at Chen Tang, slowly emanating a powerful pressure!

Pupil Technique!

Chen Tang’s heart tightened, not daring to underestimate, secretly gathering Vajra’s Wrathful Gaze, and met Murong Daoye’s gaze.
