Chapter 479: Prelude

Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations

Chilly rain engulfed Yuanyang City, turning the warm weather gloomy all of a sudden.

Such bad weather was rarely seen in this ancient city.

Raindrops flowed down from the eaves and gathered in the ditches on both sides of the streets before flowing into the man-made canals in the city.

A ghost-like figure appeared from nowhere. It stood on the stone bridge while holding a black paper umbrella, watching the rapid currents under the bridge run to the distance while carrying fallen leaves with them.

“How is the situation in the Heaven-Seeking Sword Palace?”

“Don’t worry. When those swords come out, even if we don’t interfere, they won’t stay put. Those guys have always been ambitious.” The voice seemed to come from the rapid currents under the bridge or from the gloomy rain that was engulfing the city.

“The turbid mortal world is like a boat, and the people in it are like tiny weeds that were trying to cross the bitter ocean of life. Only...” The cold eyes stared at the fallen leaves and broken branches that were floating in the river as if it were watching everything that was happening in the mortal world with cold eyes. The voice under the umbrella seemed to merge into the rain and gradually faded away.

...

“How come it is raining all of a sudden?” Jiang Xiaoyue complained when she entered the shop with a small floral umbrella in her hand. historical

“It’s just rain. Achoo!” A few other girls came in with her after being released from school. Mu Qing looked dry even though she didn’t hold an umbrella.

She suddenly sneezed. “How come the rain feels so gloomy today?’

“Get me a cup of milk tea!”

A new day began from a cup of delicious milk tea.

“Boss!”

Instead of playing games, Mr. Fang was sitting on a couch in the lounge area, which was quite unusual.

He was probably staring at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

“Bo...ss...!” Jiang Xiaoyue waved her little white palm before Mr. Fang’s face for a while.

“Ugh?” He snapped back.

“Boss, what were you thinking, staring into the air?”

“Are you worrying about the situation with the Nangong Family?” Li Lanruo asked in concern.

“What thing with the Nangong Family?” Mr. Fang looked nonplussed.

After all, the Nangong Family had never been disgraced like this; this wasn’t a small grudge. It had threatened its reputation as an ancient family.

Li Lanruo had been feeling uneasy lately. “I’m worried about the quietness; I’m afraid they are making some schemes in the dark.”

“You’re right.” Mu Qing who had been sipping milk tea heard Li Lanruo’s words and said, “After all, the Heaven-Seeking Sword Palace has always been arrogant and aggressive in the past 1,000 years; they kill others but never allow others to kill their people.”

Next, Mr. Fang would probably receive a heavy blow from the Heaven-Seeking Sword Palace with their powerful trump cards that they had concealed for a long time. As a huge ancient family that had a vast accumulation of resources, it only needed to use a few of these trump cards to destroy a major faction.

“Um...?” Nonplussed, Mr. Fang looked at them and said, “I don’t know how to phrase some words, and I wonder what you will think of them.”

Beside him, Li Lanruo lowered her head to slowly sip milk tea without a word. Obviously, she didn’t know what to say.

She kept her face lowered; she almost buried it under the couch. It seemed like she was afraid that she had misspoken and caused trouble.

“Sir! You don’t have to hide your fear from us!” Mu Qing seemed eager to see Mr. Fang act soft. After all, she could only obtain some satisfaction with words since she couldn’t defeat him in the game.

“Why would I be afraid?” Mr. Fang said, “I just want to know what you think of the option of livestream. If you guys can also livestream...”

On Mr. Fang’s System Interface, a new task appeared.

[New Task: Establishing Dominance is Required to Keep a Foothold (2)

“We can livestream too?” Jiang Xiaoyue almost jumped up with surprise and joy. She had been in the shop for a long time and could only watch Mr. Fang livestream while feeling envious.

I can livestream as well?

She didn’t know how Mr. Fang did the outdoor livestream, but it would be awesome to show her excellent strategies and gameplay to others even from inside the shop.

After all, Mr. Fang had been showing off his skills every day and Jiang Xiaoyue could do nothing but watch.

“Ugh...?” The others exchanged a look and said in pleasant surprise, “Can we do it too?”

...

– Meanwhile, in the Heaven-Seeking Sword Palace –

Deep beneath the gloomy Sword Tomb, there was no light; it was as black as Hell.

With a gloomy low growl, a dark red light suddenly flashed from the depths of the underground.

Among the sounds of metal chains dragging on the ground and inhuman deep growls, groups of people in chains, young and old, kneeled on the ground as if they were worshiping their god.

The broken ancient tombs looked like the residences of dominating gods or fierce, man-eating devils. While the gloomy and dark lights jumped, the lights in these people’s eyes also moved. The ominous and gloomy growls struck fear into people’s minds and sent chills down their spines.

It was an ancient and powerful sword spirit which had existed for endless years but had never been eroded by time. The sword spirit inside the broken sword seemed more terrifying than the darkness in the deep abyss.

The ancient engravings and sword-slash marks on the tombstones were almost ground away by time, and all of this seemed to be telling a glorious story in the distant past.

The dark lights lit up, and in the tombs laid ancient-looking long swords. Some of the swords were so rusted that it was hard to imagine their original looks, and some were covered by all kinds of ugly and vicious cuts from other weapons in battles, looking as if they would shatter in the next moment.

However, no one dared to ignore the horrid, crazy, and demon-like sword spirits contained in the swords. Only one thread of this maniac sword spirit could induce the deepest fear in people’s minds.

“Do you feel that?!” Wild laughter came from the great hall of the Heaven-Seeking Sword Palace; it sounded so arrogant as if everything in the world were under its feet and beneath it.

Perhaps soon, everything in the world would indeed be beneath its feet and could no longer be in its eyes, because...

Crack!

A pitch-black thunderbolt crashed down, and a black sword energy shot up from beneath the Sword Tomb!

“I wonder which ancestral master is coming out...”

“Greetings, Ancestral Master! We all welcome your arrival!” All the disciples of the Heaven-Seeking Sword Palace including Nangong Lin fell on their knees.
