Chapter 401 - 372 The Truth Part One
A figure as transparent as one made of water stood silently opposite Lin Fei.
The two were only a dozen meters apart, yet countless streams of pseudo True Force circled around them incessantly.
"Who are you?!" Lin Fei asked in a deep voice, suppressing the shock and suspicion in his heart.
The Sword Dao True Solution was his greatest secret, and now to have it unexpectedly called out by an unknown existence, even someone as composed as him felt a chill. This overwhelming sensation of passivity was more than just uncomfortable.
"Who am I?" The figure moved slightly, as if laughing.
"We have been fighting with the Royal Court for countless years. I never expected that in the end, the passage would be closed. Most of the ninety-nine original masters perished, and we were forced to leave our homeland." He seemed to be reminiscing, and also seemed to sigh.
"The former Sword Master of the Sword Canon was one of you...??" Lin Fei’s heart stirred, and he hurriedly asked.
"It doesn’t matter if I tell you the truth," the figure spoke casually. "We, the original masters, have opposed the people of the Sword Canon for countless years. Although we couldn’t destroy the Sword Canon with the remnants of our own power, there were many ways we could destroy its successor, the Sword Master.

"I didn’t expect that you would also become an original master."
"So what?" Lin Fei vaguely sensed that something was not right. The hand holding the Black Demon Sword grew even tighter.
"Nothing. You don’t have to be afraid; my will at best only has half your strength. Countless years have passed, and most of my power has long since dissipated. This is just a residual imprint," the figure stated indifferently. "Actually, if I had seen you earlier, maybe I would have chosen you. Alas..."
