Chapter 294: Blade Maniac - Nie Yuan
Upon hearing Sun Zhe's request, both Wang Jian and Martial Law were momentarily taken aback. They did not expect that Sun Zhe, the esteemed Sword Sovereign of Blade Domain, could not even find his own territory.
However, being individuals at the Saint Level Pinnacle, they had heard about the reincarnation of Sun Jian chosen by Daoism. After a moment of thought, they quickly realized that Sun Zhe's memories of Sun Jian had only partially recovered and were not fully restored yet.
"Of course, that's no problem!" The two exchanged glances and nodded simultaneously at Sun Zhe.
In just a short while, Wang Jian made all the necessary arrangements and then left with Sun Zhe and Martial Law, heading towards the territory of the Chu Kingdom. It was clear that Blade Domain was hidden within the borders of Chu.
Both Wang Jian and Martial Law were top-tier experts on par with Killer God Bai Qi at the Saint Level Pinnacle, while Sun Zhe was at the mid-level of Emperor Level, with real strength comparable to someone who had just entered the Holy Rank. The three moved swiftly, and in no time, they had left the vicinity of Xianyang and were heading towards the southwestern part of the continent, into Chu.
Among the Nine Great Empires, Chu's strength was not the strongest but certainly not the weakest either. The Chu army was known for its combat effectiveness among the Nine Great Empires, especially the elite Danyang Army, which was one of the finest infantry forces in the entire Nine Continents Mainland.
Due to Chu's formidable power, few forces dared to invade it. Additionally, with its vast territory, the people of Chu lived relatively well compared to those in Qin State. As they flew along, Sun Zhe couldn't help but nod slightly at what he saw.
"Sword Sovereign, we are almost there!"
Just as Sun Zhe was gazing around, Wang Jian suddenly turned his head to remind him.
"Already there?" Sun Zhe was startled and immediately pulled his thoughts back. Following Wang Jian's gesture, he looked ahead and found that it was merely an ordinary gorge.
"Could it be concealed by a formation?" This thought crossed Sun Zhe's mind. The entrance to War Clan had also been hidden by a concealment formation. He speculated that the entrance to Blade Domain was likely covered by a similar formation; otherwise, this place would surely be bustling with activity rather than desolate.
However, after probing with his Divine Consciousness for a while, he found no traces whatsoever. He could not sense anything unusual about the gorge ahead. A slight shock ran through him; his Divine Consciousness was now strong enough to rival early Holy Rank experts. Yet even in a conscious state, he still failed to detect any signs of concealment, indicating how exquisite this formation must be.
Like three shooting stars flashing through the sky, their figures rushed towards the gorge. In an instant, they appeared before it.
After standing still, Wang Qian took two steps forward and stood before the Gorge. His eyes narrowed slightly as his right hand moved swiftly, resembling the fluttering of butterfly wings. Mysterious incantations flew from his hands and, in the blink of an eye, coalesced into a black Long Sword. The black light surged, and Sword Qi flashed!
Once the Long Sword appeared, Wang Qian pointed forward with his right hand, and the black Long Sword immediately flew ahead, cutting through the void and directly striking at the center of the Gorge. Surprisingly, there was no sound at all, nor did it create even a ripple; it was simply swallowed by the Gorge.
"This..." Sun Zhe was momentarily taken aback. At the instant the black sword was consumed by the Gorge, he finally sensed something amiss. Within this Gorge, there indeed existed a formation, but this formation was not set before the Gorge; rather, the Gorge itself was a manifestation of a formation.
Using the Gorge as a formation and condensing it into shape was indeed a clever tactic; at least Sun Zhe had never seen such an exquisite formation before.
"Thunderous Roar..."
Just as Sun Zhe was lost in thought, the Gorge began to tremble slightly. The spot that had swallowed the black sword slowly opened a crack, like a glimmer of light appearing in darkness. Within the vast Gorge, another entrance emerged, as if it were an inner valley. As the entrance opened, although he had yet to see what lay within the Blade Domain, an extremely rich Earth Spirit Energy began to emanate from it.
Two shadows flashed, and then two figures stepped out from the Gorge—one male and one female.
"Blade Maniac Nie Yuan and Knife Edge Susan are here to welcome Sword Sovereign on behalf of Domain Lord!"
The two figures bowed directly to Sun Zhe, clearly having anticipated his arrival long before he reached this place. The Blade Domain Lord had already calculated with great Divine Technique that Sun Zhe would return at this time.
"Nie Yuan, you’re back!" Wang Qian's face lit up with joy as he stepped forward and grasped the man's arm excitedly.
"Old Nie, I knew you wouldn’t die! You didn’t let me down. If you had died, what would happen to our sister Susan? Haha..." Martial Law also stepped forward joyfully, his chubby face shaking with excitement. The four members of Madness of Desire and Obsession from Blade Domain had a strong bond among them.
"Look at you two! The Sword Sovereign is still behind; if you want to catch up, you should first welcome him back to Blade Domain."
Seeing Wang Qian and Martial Law's excitement, the Middle-Aged Woman standing behind couldn’t help but speak up. Although she was already middle-aged, she showed no signs of aging. Holding a willow-leaf knife in her hand, her aura seemed to subtly surpass that of Wang Qian and Martial Law. She was none other than Knife Edge Susan. However, Sun Zhe was somewhat curious about how she came by her title of Knife Edge.
"Uh, it is... it is... the junior sister's extreme..." The two clearly felt a sense of fear towards this junior sister and immediately nodded in agreement. At this moment, Wang Jian no longer resembled the war god of the Qin State; he looked just like a mouse that had seen a cat.
"Senior Nie, we meet again!"
At that moment, Sun Zhe suddenly stepped forward and stood in front of the Blade Maniac, Nie Yuan, with a smile on his face.
"You... you are Sun Zhezi..."
Upon hearing this shout, Nie Yuan was taken aback, realizing that the person standing before him was indeed Zisun Zhe from the Thunder Continent. He was completely stunned, as he had no idea that Sun Zhe was the Sword Sovereign of the Blade Domain.
Sun Zhe said nothing but smiled at Nie Yuan. Nie Yuan was no longer the old man he used to be; his disheveled long hair had stood up, and his tattered clothes had transformed into a brocade robe. He seemed to have suddenly become twenty years younger. Coupled with the ancestral Bloodshadow Mad Blade tightly gripped in his hand, he had transformed from an old man into a formidable middle-aged swordsman. This was also why Sun Zhe refrained from calling him "old man."
"What nonsense! You know very well about the reincarnation of the Sword Sovereign. He is the former Sword Sovereign; how can you be so disrespectful to him!"
While others remained silent, Susan had already begun to scold Nie Yuan fiercely. Her demeanor showed no signs of being submissive; instead, she fully displayed the fierceness of a "tigress." Seeing this scene, Wang Jian and his companion, who had just suffered a setback, couldn't help but chuckle. They knew that while this junior sister was beautiful and powerful, she had quite a temper. In their previous group of four, Susan had always been the dominant one, but now they finally managed to pass her onto Nie Yuan.
"I..." Nie Yuan clearly hadn't reacted yet.
"Hehe, Senior Susan need not mind. During my time in the Thunder Continent, Senior Nie indeed helped me quite a bit; I should really thank him properly," Sun Zhe said sincerely. Back then in the Thunder Continent, Nie Yuan had indeed provided him with considerable assistance.
However, reflecting on it made him feel somewhat sentimental. He had known Nie Yuan since he was still Sun Jian, and after reincarnating as Sun Zhe and arriving at the Thunder Continent, he unexpectedly ended up mingling with Nie Yuan again. It could be said that their two lives were intertwined; they indeed shared some fate.
"Sword Sovereign is being too polite. You don’t need to call me Senior Susan; in fact, you debuted earlier than I did by a few years. Just call me Susan directly. As for this old fellow, you don’t need to call him Senior Nie either; calling him Nie Yuan is already flattering enough. If it’s really necessary, you can just call him Niezi..."
Susan clearly had a straightforward personality and couldn't hide her happiness as she spoke. After all, back when Sword Sovereign Sun Jian was famous across the continent, wielding an Ancient Bell Blade that almost swept through all Young Powerhouses in the Nine Continents, his reputation far surpassed theirs by hundreds of times.
“Niezi... Haha...” Upon hearing this title, Sun Zhe managed to hold back his laughter, but Wang Jian and the others did not need to restrain themselves and immediately burst into hearty laughter. Even more exaggerated was Martial Law, who laughed while calling out this name, while Nie Yuan's face was already filled with bitterness.
“What are you laughing at? Should I start calling you Jianzi and Yanzi?” Susan's expression darkened as she looked at the two who were laughing uncontrollably.
“Uh...” Their laughter abruptly stopped, and they looked as if they had swallowed a fly, their faces turning bright red, but they could no longer laugh.
“Haha...”
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh together. In fact, it was just a few people who hadn't seen each other for a long time joking around. Susan wasn't really that domineering; now that the jokes were over, all four of them turned their attention to the most distinguished among them, Sun Zhe.
“Since that's the case, let's head into the domain. I haven't seen the Domain Lord in a long time.” Looking towards the entrance of the Mountain Valley, a hint of nostalgia flashed in Sun Zhe's eyes as he spoke softly to everyone.
“Sword Sovereign, please!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the five of them began to walk towards the Blade Domain in order, their smiles fading. They had a good relationship with each other and could joke around, but they dared not do so in front of the Domain Lord.
