School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master

Chapter 2318: Chapter 2404: Legend of Blades and Swords

Li Liushui looked at Chen Nan, ”Kid, how do you want to deal with him? I won’t interfere.”

”I’ve already vented. He still needs to work for the seniors, so spare his life.” Chen Nan chuckled, but inside he was overjoyed. This time the plan was without any real danger.

Chen Nan had no favorable opinion of Li Liushui, the Blade God. If not for his eccentric nature, he might have already been dead. He still thought of killing his master Xuan Tianji, how could he stand with him?

Being with someone so capricious, murderous, and volatile, one is bound to suffer eventually, just like Tianshu Zi and Ya Fei.

However, thinking about it, since Li Liushui found him agreeable, using him could be beneficial. This man was extraordinarily powerful, and in Wangtian City, even if he wasn’t a cook at the Heavenly Food Pavilion, his power would still be something the City Lord would be wary of.

Compared to someone like Tianshu Zi, he was much more formidable.

”Alright, it’s up to you. Speaking of which, Tianshu Zi may not have been effective, but the information he gathered around Wangtian City could still be somewhat useful to us.”

Li Liushui heard Chen Nan say this and nodded with a smile.

However, he secretly laughed at himself, thinking his future disciple was excessively kind-hearted. Given his nature as the Blade God, those who once wanted him dead are now beneath that kitchen knife.

He glanced at Tianshu Zi and waved his hand, ”You can go now, I have things to discuss with my disciple.”

Tianshu Zi, narrowly escaping death, had long since been scared out of his wits and left the spot in a daze.

Chen Nan originally planned to set up an array to trap influential experts, but the appearance of Li Liushui foiled the plan. However, there were no regrets—having obtained the Ten Thousand Beasts Divine Cauldron and the Creation Jade Disc, he glanced into the distance and found those who had gone to seize the Strange Treasure were no longer in sight.

Most likely, those people were arranged by Tianshu Zi.

Seeing Tianshu Zi leave, Chen Nan secretly laughed to himself, now the real show could begin.

He released his Divine Sense, sweeping through Wangtian City, and found that those dozen or so Heavenly People who fell victim to his Time trick were still resting in the city, not in a hurry to leave.

”Could it be they’re waiting for someone?” Chen Nan found it strange; after resting for a night, they should have continued on their way.

Initially, after settling the matter with Tianshu Zi, Chen Nan planned to take the opportunity to catch up since his primary goal was the Heavenly People Clan; the survival of the world was far greater than personal grievances, and matters with Tianshu Zi were merely incidental.

But after pondering a bit, he decided not to pay much attention. These people were now old; if they couldn’t dispel the Power of Time, they would slowly age and die.

”Senior Blade God, you’re insistent on finding the Poison Queen. I have an idea.”

Chen Nan said, not fearing to provoke the Blade God Li Liushui. With Little Heavenly Demon and Little Runaway Child as strong backing, even if the Blade God was powerful, if it came to a fight, the battle’s outcome would be uncertain.

”What idea?” Li Liushui asked, face changing slightly, awaiting Chen Nan’s words.

”If you can’t find her directly, you can look for people who know her or those who had a good relationship with her in the past. By looking layer by layer, I think, though the Hundred Clan Domain is vast, you can surely find this person.”

Coming from the Mortal World, Chen Nan was extremely familiar with the Six Degrees of Separation theory. At this moment, he simply put this theory to use.

Everyone in the Mortal World can be linked to anyone else through a chain of six or fewer acquaintances. This theory applies even in the Hundred Clan Domain.

For someone famous, it should be even easier to find.

”Start with her network? I’ve been searching for the Poison Queen Zhu Ruoyan for over a thousand years but never thought of your method. I’ve only searched everywhere she might have gone or been before. Also, I had people like Tianshu Zi inquire about her, to no avail. What you suggested is worth a try. I once suspected that despicable woman vanished mysteriously, possibly eloping with my nemesis, Sword Saint Lu Qingshan.”

As Li Liushui said this, his expression changed.

Especially when mentioning the name Sword Saint Lu Qingshan, his body slightly trembled.

Seeing Chen Nan’s puzzled expression, he continued slowly, ”It sounds cliché, but back then, the Sword Saint and I entered the Sword and Saber Sect together. I joined the Blade God branch, and Lu Qingshan joined the Sword Saint branch. We were both geniuses among geniuses. When we became the chief disciples of our respective branches, the Sword and Saber Sect reached its peak, attracting many powerful figures eyeing it, rumored to hold two great weapons containing great secrets of Heaven and Earth.”

”Heh, could it be...”

Chen Nan asked with a smile.

Li Liushui nodded, ”You’re correct, but back then, no one could have expected that the sect’s Treasure of the Sect turned out to be just a kitchen knife and a broken sword. That kitchen knife lay in the kitchen responsible for the sect’s meals, and the broken sword was a practice blade every novice disciple handled. During the sect’s destruction battle, the Sect Leader used Divine Thought to tell us about the whereabouts of the respective blades before he died. Later, after the Sword and Saber Sect was destroyed, aside from us novice disciples, the rest either died in battle or were killed. As cultivation geniuses who hadn’t been in the sect long, the two leading figures took each of us away during the siege.”

At this point, Li Liushui smiled slightly, ”Those two experts said we were once-in-a-million geniuses. Li Liushui looked more handsome than me and was taken by the elegant Changfeng Zhenren, while I could only follow the Poison Supreme Nan Xiangzi back to the Wilderness Domain. That was the most painful time of my life. The Wilderness Domain was harsh, and Nan Xiangzi was a loner. Missing my sect and the Sect Leader’s dying words, feeling I had betrayed them, I was miserable. In ten years, my Cultivation made no progress and even regressed.”

It was then Chen Nan noticed a hint of bitterness in his smile.

”The Sword and Saber Sect’s Sect Leader was certainly a remarkably intelligent person, but a pity.”

Chen Nan shook his head. If not for his meticulous mind and sufficient tolerance, he would never have casually placed the Treasure of the Sect. Nor would he have left such treasures to novice disciples when there were outer disciples, inner sect, and true disciples more worthy of nurturing as Fire Seeds.

However, evidently, they weren’t given this chance. The Sect Leader likely anticipated this as well.

”The Sect Leader of Sorcerer and Blade was known as the Twin Excellences of Blade and Sword. He was at a critical point in cultivating a Supreme Technique, otherwise, they couldn’t have been taken by surprise so easily.”

Li Liushui shook his head, sighing.

”What happened afterwards?” Chen Nan asked. A sect producing both a Blade God and Sword Saint, a double excellence—what regret could there be even in death? Sword Saint Lu Qingshan, just by his title alone, might be as powerful as the Blade God, but it’s unclear why they turned against each other.

Li Liushui was about to speak when suddenly a cold glint flashed in his eyes, ”Who’s there? Sneaking around, come out!”

With a wave of the kitchen knife in his hand, he slashed into the Void, tearing it apart. Two people staggered to the ground with a grunt.
