Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 763: Chapter 783: Old Friend Xiao Qiang

”You... you can see I’ve disguised myself? How is that possible? My Disguise Art is unmatched in the world. Who exactly are you?” The middle-aged man looked at Chu Linfeng with astonishment.

”You don’t need to know who I am at the moment. Once you remove the disguise on your face, I will naturally tell you. I can only say that we are actually acquaintances. I can tell you one thing, I come from the Canglan Ancient Land!” Chu Linfeng smiled, completely ignoring the middle-aged man’s horrified gaze.

At this moment, the waiter brought the food and wine over. After Chu Linfeng casually gave him a few Nether Stones, he said, ”Bring some signature dishes for the Human Race later.”

”Please wait a moment, sir. I’ll prepare it immediately.” The waiter said happily to Chu Linfeng.

Chu Linfeng poured two cups of wine and smiled, ”Do you not believe me, or do you find me mysterious? I know your current strength is pretty good, but you still can’t harm me. Don’t think that my current strength is in the Saint Martial Realm; even if the strongest in the Netherworld were here, I could still escape with ease.”

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then quickly wiped his face with his hand. Immediately, another face appeared in front of Chu Linfeng, causing him to be startled.

This was the appearance of an old man with a face full of wrinkles, but his eyes were as bright and sharp as if they could see through one’s soul.

”Now you can tell me who you are?” The middle-aged man said, looking at Chu Linfeng.

”Haha, drink this cup of wine first before we talk. My old friend, it’s been ages since we last met, and you’ve grown old!” Chu Linfeng said, finishing his wine in one gulp.

The old man also drank his wine and said, ”Old friend? I truly don’t have such a young old friend. Please speak the truth; I am not someone you can casually toy with. Though this is Jiuyou City, I’m not sure what will happen if I get upset.”

”Haha, Xiao Qiang, your eyesight is still problematic. You don’t even recognize me. I really want to give you a good beating. It’s quite surprising that the Sect Leader of the Holy Sword Sect is still alive.” Chu Linfeng laughed.

The old man suddenly stood up, his expression more shocked, ”Who exactly are you? No more than two people in this Netherworld know my identity. If you’re truly an old friend, please don’t fool me.”

”We’re close friends. Think about how many close friends you have, and you’ll guess who I am. It’s truly unexpected to reunite with you here.” Chu Linfeng smiled.

The old man Xiao Qiang pondered for a moment, then his face lit up with joy, ”You’re Qingshuang? Could you really be Qingshuang?”

Chu Linfeng nodded and smiled, ”You still have a good memory; you haven’t forgotten me. I thought you’d gotten senile.”

After speaking, he filled his wine cup again and took a sip. Meanwhile, the old man Xiao Qiang looked at Chu Linfeng with disbelief and said, ”Weren’t you supposed to have fallen in that great battle on the Divine Battlefield? How are you still alive? What exactly happened?”

”Haha, did I fall? Weren’t you supposed to have fallen too? How are you here then?” Chu Linfeng laughed.

”I don’t believe it. I saw with my own eyes you being killed by the combined forces of the Netherworld Lord and the Blood Emperor. Unless you can provide solid proof, I cannot believe it.” Xiao Qiang said.

Chu Linfeng immediately took out the Cyan Frost Sword and said, ”You should recognize this sword. I saw you being slain back then, and was heartbroken, so I fought with all my might against those two.”

”Cyan Frost Sword, it truly is the Cyan Frost Sword. Could you really be Qingshuang? This is indeed unexpected. I thought I would die in that battle too, but that blow didn’t kill me, only severely injured me. I escaped to the Netherworld to heal my wounds, but when I fully recovered, the entrance to the Netherworld had been sealed. Did you enter at that time?” Xiao Qiang asked.

”I just came from Canglan Ancient Land, and my purpose for coming to the Netherworld was to obtain the Netherworld Purple Orchid. Many people are unable to break through to the Saint Martial Realm without it. But obtaining the Netherworld Purple Orchid here is too difficult.” Chu Linfeng said with a wry smile.

”Are you saying you came from Canglan Ancient Land? The seal on the Netherworld entrance has been lifted? How could I not know? I checked the entrance last month, and it was still sealed. I hope you speak the truth, or I won’t be polite.” Xiao Qiang said angrily.

”Old friend, you still have a fiery temperament. Breaking the Netherworld entrance this time required the Power of the Four Holy Beasts. With my ability, it would have been impossible. I know you have many questions in your heart. Since we’ve met, there’s naturally time to answer them. Do you think I’m deceiving you?” Chu Linfeng smiled.

Xiao Qiang looked at Chu Linfeng and said, ”Qingshuang, I’m very happy to meet you here. How is my Holy Sword Sect doing now? I’m worried all the time and would like to return but am powerless.”

”Rest assured, the Holy Sword Sect is now allied with the Green Frost Sect, Carefree Palace, and Blood Evil Hall. Some things have happened in Canglan Ancient Land; I’ll tell you everything when I have time. But for now, I’d like to ask about those two orbs you obtained.” Chu Linfeng said.

”We’ll talk about the orbs later. Are you really only at the Fourth Layer of Saint Martial Realm? This Netherworld is full of powerful figures; many have your level of strength, so you must be careful.” Xiao Qiang said, then filled his wine cup.

”That’s indeed my current realm, but my strength should be similar to yours. I can now easily use Star Slash, which is ten times stronger than before. You don’t need to worry about my safety.” Chu Linfeng said.

”You truly are Qingshuang; now I’m completely sure. Star Slash is a Martial Skill that only you know, and very few are aware of it. Those two orbs will be yours; encountering you has been unfortunate for me—they are worth two hundred thousand Nether Stones!” Xiao Qiang said helplessly.

”Haha, thanks in advance. I know you need Star Stones; I’ll give you some later. I came to the Netherworld prepared with a lot of Star Stones, but I still want to hear how you obtained those two orbs—it’s very important to me.” Chu Linfeng said.

”These two orbs have quite a backstory. Getting them was a near-death experience. Thinking back still causes me a shiver. In this Netherworld, there’s a Blood River. I accidentally wandered to its banks; the water is as red as blood. I took a curious look.

Just those few glances led me to notice slight energy fluctuations in the Blood River. So, I used Divine Sense to inspect closely. Qingshuang, do you know what I saw?” (To be continued in the next Chapter)
