Ten Thousand Times Return: My Senior Sister Plucked Me At The Start

Chapter 190 Nine Dragons Dzi Bead

"Greetings, Sword God."

Zhao Mu was puzzled when he saw Qu Liu arrive and heard his words.

Zhao Mu took the initiative to ask, "Sword God, what exactly happened to Patriarch Sheng Yuan back then? How did he end up in such a state?"

Tang Qing also regained his spirit and lifted his head, staring intently at Sword God Qu Liu.

Qu Liu did not hide anything and said, "Everything started three thousand years ago when the Crafty Path invaded the Immortal Martial Continent and the Immortal Path to Heaven was sealed."

Zhao Mu was slightly taken aback.

Tang Qing had mentioned this matter to him a long time ago. Zhao Mu thought it had happened a long time ago, but he did not expect it to only be three thousand years ago.

Three thousand years ago was when Patriarch Sheng Yuan left the Devil Sect.

"What is the Crafty Path?" Zhao Mu asked.

"The Dao of Sly … is a type of cruel energy. No one knows of its origins, but ever since the Dao of Sly descended, the Immortal Martial Continent was reduced to a lone island in the boundless universe. Before that, those at the peak of the Heavenly Tribulation could ascend to the higher realms. But after that, the cultivators of the Immortal Martial Continent lost the possibility of eternal life. Everyone, regardless of their strength, were all sealed within the Immortal Martial Continent. Those who tried to break the seal all died."

Qu Liu looked at Tang Qing. "Your father was the only one who survived after facing the power of the Crafty Path. However, he could not escape the curse of the Crafty Path. His body was contaminated and his soul began to degenerate. He lost his rationality and humanity … In order to prevent him from completely degenerating into a Devil Beast, I brought him back to the Sword Immortal Pavilion and imprisoned him.

"I have to admit that I had my own selfish motives … After imprisoning Brother Sheng Yuan, I used him as a reference to study the origin of the Crafty Path. However … I can't say that it was fruitless. My understanding of the Crafty Path was still superficial. I originally thought that I could find a way to cure Brother Sheng Yuan with my own strength, but in the end … the corrosion of the Crafty Path in his body became more and more serious. In the end, a hundred years ago, his soul and will could not resist the invasion of the Crafty Path and he chose to end his own life."

At this point, Qu Liu paused for a long time and sighed with emotion.

"Your father's consciousness is affected by the Crafty Dao most of the time, but he would still occasionally regain consciousness. Back then, he talked to me about you the most and was most worried about you. In fact, I have secretly observed the development of the Saint Prime Devil Sect over the years and told brother Sheng Yuan about your recent situation. However, he probably couldn't hear me at that time."

After that, Qu Liu took out a storage ring and passed it to Tang Qing.

"This was left behind by your father when he was alive. I have been taking care of it all these years. Now, it can be returned to its rightful owner."

Tang Qing's body trembled as he took the ring of holding and opened it.

It was unknown what Tang Qing saw, but in an instant, tears streamed down his face.

Without saying a word, Zhao Mu stepped forward and hugged Tang Qing in his arms. Even if the violent spiritual energy in her body uncontrollably fell on his body, he did not let go of her.

Zhao Mu gritted her teeth and held on as the chaotic spiritual energy continued to attack her body.

But soon, Tang Qing's spiritual energy was suppressed.

It was Sword God who made a move.

He still cherished Zhao Mu's talent. Even if he was rejected by him, he could not bear to see Zhao Mu hurt because of this matter.

Moreover, Sword God had already seen the relationship between the two and understood why Zhao Mu rejected him.

Indeed, for a hot-blooded little guy, the beautiful Empress of the Devil Sect was definitely more approachable than a burly man like him.

He did not expect that he, the dignified Sword God Qu Liu, would one day be defeated by his looks.

Suddenly, a series of violent explosions came from outside.

It seemed to be coming from the direction of the Vast Star Sacred Ground.

Qu Liu immediately frowned. Without saying a word, he turned into a sharp sword light and broke through the air, disappearing on the spot.

Zhao Mu and Tang Qing were both shocked.

Zhao Mu suddenly had a bad premonition and immediately chased out to check.

Just as he arrived at the broken bridge, Zhao Mu looked up and saw a soaring flame coming from the direction of the Vast Star Sacred Ground.

Someone attacked the Sword Immortal Pavilion?

Who was so bold?

Was it the Ghost Dao Sect again?

Ghost Dao … Crafty Dao?

Zhao Mu could not help but frown.

Was this a coincidence?

There seemed to be a ball of concealment shrouding Zhao Mu's heart that could not be dispelled.

Zhao Mu flew up on his sword and headed straight for the Vast Star Sacred Ground.

Not long after.

Outside the Luo Fu Sword Palace, the upper echelons of the Sword Immortal Pavilion gathered.

Wen Xingluo, Teacher Zhou, and Bai Muxue were discussing something with uneasy expressions.

Zhao Mu immediately flew over and asked, "What happened?"

When Bai Muxue saw that it was Zhao Mu, she hurriedly pulled his arm to the side and whispered, "It's not a big deal. It's just that someone broke into the Luo Fu Treasure Vault and stole some unimportant heavenly treasures. Although they are valuable, they are just a drop in the ocean for the Sword Immortal Pavilion. The real treasures are all sealed by array formations and cannot be stolen."

The treasure vault was stolen?

Zhao Mu had a strange expression.

"Was it done by the Ghost Dao Sect?" Zhao Mu asked.

"I don't know yet, but in the entire Cultivation World, I'm afraid only the Ghost Dao Sect would dare to do such a thing. I'm afraid that stealing is not their purpose. This is a provocation," Bai Muxue said.

Zhao Mu fell into deep thought.

Was it really just a provocation?

One had to know that the treasure vault was stolen when the Sword God left the Luo Fu Sword Palace. This meant that the person who did it must have understood the Sword God's movements and knew that he would leave the Luo Fu Sword Palace for a period of time.

However, the Sword God left the Luo Fu Sword Palace because of Tang Qing.

But how could outsiders know about this?

It was too coincidental.

When the coincidence reached the extreme, it was a little deliberate.

At this moment, a sword beam came from the horizon.

The Sword God returned with a black-clothed man in his hand as if he was carrying a chicken. He threw the black-clothed man heavily on the ground.

"Teacher Zhou, I'll leave this thief to you. No matter what method you use, even if you have to cut open his head, you have to find out his identity and origin."

The God of Swords said in a stern voice. The aura of the Celestial Realm warrior under his rage seemed to be tearing a hole in the sky. The stars in the sky seemed to be flickering as if they were trembling.

Zhao Mu immediately stepped forward and asked, "Sword God, have you recovered the stolen item?"

The God of Swords frowned and said, "It was thrown away by this guy. There should be other people behind him to help him. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find it. However, they are all inferior treasures of heaven and earth. There is no need to continue chasing."

"Sword God, don't you find it strange?

There's no way they're going to such great lengths just to steal some worthless treasures. "

"What do you think?" Sword God looked at Zhao Mu.

"In my opinion, provoking the Sword Immortal Pavilion might be a cover-up. Can I ask the Sword God to give me a list of the stolen treasures?"

"Yes, Elder Wen, go and check the items that were stolen."

"Understood." Wen Xingluo didn't dare to be careless and immediately took action.

Not long after, a name list was handed over to the Sword God.

Sword God glanced at it and passed it to Zhao Mu.

Zhao Mu immediately started checking.

A total of 36 treasures were stolen.

They were all magic tools, elixirs, medicinal herbs and the like. They did not seem to be of high value.

However, one of the stolen items caught Zhao Mu's attention.

"Elder Wen, what is this Nine Dragons Pearl?" Zhao Mu asked.
