Chapter 739 - 47: The Demon-Suppressing Heavenly Venerable Rectifies the Immortal World! (Part 2)
"Once this matter is settled, I'm afraid it won't be safe outside."
Lady Jade Face nodded slightly and swiftly flew away from the Bao Xuan Cave Heaven.
Duncan then turned to Miss Sun and Fu Jianhan and said, "You should also go assist."
The group quickly split up to take action.
Lu Shanjun stayed to guard the Bao Xuan Cave Heaven; his strength is the greatest, and with him present, there are no issues within.
Mist surrounds the area.
When Duncan reappeared, he was already positioned at DuQiao Mountain.
His figure emerged in the mist, gently landing while gazing into the distance, where he could see a dilapidated small village with only about ten families.
"This half-plane is quite good after all."
Duncan continued south, planning to check on HePu County.
The slaughter affected not only MeiChuanDu but caused unrest throughout the Southern Han, intensifying the rumors in the martial world and drawing in numerous experts from the southern borders.
In just a short time, he had covered several dozen miles.
Suddenly, Duncan halted his steps, gazing at a mountain outside HePu County, where there was a special mark, possessing significant strength.
On the distant mountain, a youth dressed as a child felt the same sensation, glancing at the slightly quivering sword sheath, flew straight over, holding a longsword with both hands, looking at Duncan with a confused yet fearful expression.
As they gradually approached each other, the child swallowed a mouthful of saliva and tentatively asked, "Your Majesty?"
Hmm?
As if matching a secret code, Duncan's expression showed surprise, he scrutinized the youth, frowning, "What did you just call me?"
The child was breathing nervously, lowering his head and testing, "Are you Your Majesty?"
"My master ordered me to bring the sword down from the mountain."
"To find Your Majesty."
Duncan felt as if he had caught on to something, looked at the sword held by the child, a plain-looking longsword, but its sharpness was concealed. He frowned and asked, "Who is your master?"
The child seemed to have confirmed, lowered his head respectfully and said, "My master's surname is Lu, first name Yan, styled Dongbin, titled Pure Yang Zi."
A founder of the Taoist Dan Ding Sect.
Lu Dongbin.
Later generations honored him as Ancestor Lu.
Duncan's expression grew increasingly surprising, taking the longsword handed over by the youth, he spoke slowly, "Where is your master? Did he send you to give me the sword?"
The child looked confused, shook his head, "I don't know."
"Master encountered a powerful enemy."
"Perhaps ascended, perhaps still wandering this world."
"He only ordered me to come down from the mountain to seek Your Majesty, I've traveled around, heard of the upheaval in Southern Han, and thought Your Majesty might appear here."
Master repeatedly instructed, when encountering the Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord, address him first as 'Your Majesty', then there would be no worries.
The sword has its own induction, as long as you first call him Your Majesty upon meeting, there will be no danger.
Duncan drew the sword, sensed a stream of pure Yang aura, gazing intently at the child before him, and asked sternly, "Tell me what's going on."
Could someone actually predict his arrival?
It seems his descent into this world had indeed caused quite a stir.
The child stammered slightly, recounting what his master instructed, cautiously looked at Duncan again, and said, "Before I came down from the mountain, Master also said something."
Duncan slowly said, "What did he say?"
The child carefully said, "Since Your Majesty's birth, supreme and noble, in this world, there aren't many identities higher than yours."
"If one day, you find yourself perplexed."
"Why not shed this supreme noble status and wander the mortal world?"
"Perhaps, the perplexity residing in your heart could be unraveled."
Hmm?
Is Ancestor Lu advising me to temper my heart amidst the mundane? Or did he foresee that I would be troubled by the Three Corpses?
Hiss.
Lu Dongbin is actually that terrifying?
As if guessing Duncan's confusion, the child continued, "Master is proficient in the Great Development numbers, already achieving Dao."
"He said if Your Majesty doesn't believe, you can also act freely, but be cautious of external enemies."
External enemies?
Duncan looked up to the sky, frowning, seemingly guessing something.
Is the Taoist prowess truly this divine?
Or did his descent stir some phenomenon, causing them to calculate some matters?
Eastern mysticism is indeed more troublesome than that in the West.
Duncan asked again, "Did he say anything else?"
The child shook his head, "That was all."
"Master instructed me to deliver the sword to Your Majesty, then find a place to retreat, reappear only when the world is at peace, and pass down the teachings of the Golden Core Sect."
"I've completed the task Master assigned today."
"If Your Majesty has no other matters."
"This humble Taoist will take leave first."
Duncan saw the child was determined to leave, accepted the sword, and nodded slightly, "Since Ancestor Lu has instructed, you should go then."
This child's strength is extraordinary, he should be the true heir of the Golden Core Sect.
Or rather, he is a prepared hidden successor.
Whenever the world is in chaos, the Taoist sects would arrange for true disciples to hide away, preserving the Dao lineage.
The child made a Taoist salute and turned to leave, quickly disappearing into the distance.
It wasn't until he left several miles away that the child released a long breath, muttering to himself, "This Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord is even more terrifying than Master described!"
"I dare not even lift my head to glance at him."
Master's Great Development numbers truly transcend, predicting that just calling him 'Your Majesty' would ensure safety.
Once merely respectfully calling him Your Majesty, the intimidating murderous aura and pressure greatly diminished.
After the child left, Duncan drew the sword in his hand, it was indeed a Divine Weapon, though unsure of its use, the pure Yang sword intent attached to it would be perfect for Fu Jianhan, less suited for him.
He'd keep it for now.
"Is the Great Development divine calculation of the Eastern plane that powerful? They're almost seeing through my trump cards!"
