Chapter 121: 121. Must go through the main entrance, cannot take the back route.
After leaving Moon Viewing Peak, Yu Qing hurried back to Yujian Peak.
Along the way, many disciples greeted Yu Qing, she responded politely but did not stop her pace, soon entering the Sword Lake located in the deepest part of Yujian Peak, where True Master Yu Jian practiced in seclusion, a place off-limits to ordinary disciples.
Yu Qing briskly walked in and met True Master Yu Jian in the middle of Sword Lake.
This was a vast and clear lake filled with countless swimming fish, which upon closer inspection revealed themselves to be Spirit Swords that moved leisurely like living creatures.
True Master Yu Jian was seated cross-legged on the lake’s surface, as if on flat ground, without causing a single ripple.
Yu Qing quieted her footsteps and approached the lake, True Master Yu Jian slowly opened his eyes: “You’re back.”
Yu Qing bowed respectfully and said: “Master, about the incident at Moon Viewing Peak…”
True Master Yu Jian interrupted softly: “No need to say more, your master is already aware. I didn’t expect this youngster’s talent to be so terrifying. Having only learned a single Sword-controlling Skill, he was able to forcefully take the enemy’s Spirit Sword through sensing alone, surpassing even the Wuji Sword Saint.”
These few words from True Master Yu Jian conveyed two meanings; the first being she also spied on the events at Moon Viewing Peak, and the second being more concerned about Fang Zhou’s talent rather than the destruction.
To this day, True Master Yu Jian did not believe that Fang Zhou had learned the Sword Control Technique, but thought that he had only learned the Sword-controlling Skill carved on the Stele at the Cloud Bridge during his entry-level trial, and just with this, he could forcefully control an enemy’s Spirit Sword—such talent indeed was terrifyingly exceptional.
She now wished she could rush to Moon Viewing Peak and snatch Fang Zhou away; if Heavenly Sword Sect could acquire this child, they could easily leap to become the foremost sect among the Three Great Holy Lands.
