David thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, “When Senior Wan Jianxing passed on his swordsmanship to me, he left behind a trace of his innate sword intent, and told me to show it to a trustworthy person as proof.”
While speaking, he powerfully withdrew a wisp of chaotic immortal power and poured it into the Dragon Slayer Sword, while recalling the unique Daoist charm that Wan Jianxing had given him when teaching him the sword technique.
The Dragon Slayer Sword trembled slightly, and a glimmer of extremely faint yet pure silver sword intent, containing the spirit of breaking through all laws and roaming freely between heaven and earth, slowly emerged from the sword.
This trace of sword intent is very faint, almost disappearing at any time, but the “feel” contained in it is very unique!
Upon seeing that glimmer of silver sword intent, the Palace Mistress’ petite body trembled violently, and she staggered back half a step, her face instantly turning pale.
He stretched out his trembling hand, wanting to touch that glimmer of sword intent, but stopped right before touching it, as if afraid that it was just a fragile dream.
“It’s true that this is true sword intent.”
He muttered softly, his voice choked with emotion, “Thousands of years. I thought you would have done it a long time ago.”
Two lines of clear tears finally flowed down uncontrollably, but before they fell, they froze into glistening ice beads on her cheeks.
David sheathed his sword attentively and waited quietly.
He could feel that there was probably a very deep connection between the palace master before him and Wan Jianxing.
After a long time, the palace master finally calmed down. He wiped the cold tears from his face and regained his calm expression, but the look in his eyes when he looked at David had softened significantly.
“This is not the place to talk. Follow me.”
While speaking, he turned and walked towards the Northern Underworld Palace.
David glanced at Ling Shuang and the Red Cloud Demon Lord beside him, then at the Blood Soul Cold Pool in the distance, and hesitated before saying, “Palace Master, my friend urgently needs the Thousand Year Ice Soul Blood Lotus from the Blood Soul Cold Pool to save his life, I would like to ask”
The palace master paused, then said without turning around, “We’ll talk about the Blood Lotus later. Come with me first; there’s something I want to ask you, and some things I need to tell you.”
His tone left no room for rebuttal.
David was silent for a moment, then nodded to Ling Shuang and the Red Cloud Demon Lord: “Let’s follow them.”
The three followed the palace master into the mysterious and magnificent Beiming Palace.
Passing through the tall archway, a completely different view unfolds inside. On both sides of the wide ice crystal road stood various beautiful ice sculptures and ice crystal lampposts, emitting soft light.
The palace complex is complex and interconnected, with hanging corridors and bridges, and cascading ice waterfalls. This place was as beautiful as a fairyland in a dream, but it was so quiet that it made one feel restless.
Along the way, they occasionally encountered divine soldiers on patrol. They all bowed respectfully to the Palace Master, but glanced at David and his followers with curiosity, wariness, and even hostility. However, under the Palace Master’s imposing presence, no one dared to approach and ask any questions.
Finally, the palace master led them to a relatively small but more beautiful side hall.
The inside was simply laid out, with only a few ice crystal chairs and an ice table. The walls were smooth like mirrors, reflecting the figures of the people inside.
“Sit down.”
The palace master motioned for David and the other two to take a seat, while he himself took the seat of honor.
After everyone sat down, the Palace Master’s gaze fell on David again, and he slowly said, “Now, tell me everything you know about Wanjian Star. Don’t miss anything.”
David nodded and told in detail how he accidentally entered the void passage, met Wan Jianxing, and received his inheritance and instructions, only he didn’t mention the Heavenly Dragon Palace.
The court lady listened quietly, her face expressionless, but her tightly clenched hands and slightly trembling eyelashes betrayed her inner turmoil.
When he heard that Wan Jianxing had guarded the void passage for thousands of years, enduring the torment of space tearing day and night, yet still clinging to hope and remembering his old friends, he finally couldn’t help but close his eyes, take several deep breaths, and barely suppress his overflowing emotions.
“Did he say anything else about me?”
The palace master opened his eyes, a glimmer of hope flashing within them.
David thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, “Senior Wan Jianxing didn’t mention a specific name, only that if there is a chance, help him find an old friend from the God Clan, tell that person that he is still alive, don’t take revenge for him, and live well.”
David made up stories haphazardly. He had long realized that the Palace Master and Wan Jianxing were not ordinary people.
The two may be having an affair, or even lovers.
