Chapter 474: Chapter 226 Swordsmanship Expert

Su Mo was momentarily dazed.

The man standing with his sword always reminded people of that guy who liked to run around with a seven-foot longsword.

However, the person in front of him was clearly not Jade Qilin.

This person was dressed as a scholar, but wore a conical hat on his head.

There was a ring of black cloth on the edge of the conical hat, covering his face.

While he held a sword in his arms, the sword was not seven feet long.

Not seven feet, but it had Seven Stars.

On his scabbard, there were seven gems of various colors embedded.

It seemed to be arranged in the formation of the Big Dipper, obviously an extraordinary item.

Su Mo’s gaze caught his attention, and he slightly turned his head and glanced at Su Mo.

Su Mo slightly bowed his hands in greeting, and after a moment of silence, the man also slightly returned the gesture.

He then diverted his gaze back to Wan Cangxin in the field.

By now, Wan Cangxin had already repeated everything he knew.

“Everyone must be somewhat familiar with my fellow disciple.

“Big Brother was naturally chivalrous and personally went to Eternal Night Valley to eliminate demons.

“Unfortunately, the Night Lord’s martial arts were unfathomable. Despite using all means and consuming all his thoughts, Big Brother was ultimately defeated.

“After this battle, everyone assumed that Big Brother had died at the hands of the Night Lord.

“Unexpectedly, Big Brother was not dead but captured by the Night Lord.

“And if it weren’t for his sudden return to the sect years ago, causing trouble for our master,

“Even until now, we would have thought he was dead.

“But… although he is alive, his temperament has drastically changed; he has even joined the ranks of the Night Lord.

“Although our master fought hard to injure him and drive him away, he knew that eventually, he would return.

“This time, as a disciple of Elder Tianquan, I invited Yu Liu Sword Heart Liu Suifeng from Yuliu Manor in the Southwest to the Tianqu Sword Meeting, also aiming to test the sword in the Southwest and refine the Heavenly Spring Heart Cleansing Sword.

“Afterward, I intend to personally go to Eternal Night Valley, not daring to say that I’ll kill the Night Lord, but at least to cleanse the sect of this traitor!

“Unexpectedly… he suddenly appeared in Tianqu City, resulting in these tragedies.

“For this, Wan Cangxin cannot shirk responsibility; I only ask for a few days.

“I, Wan, assure everyone here that I will give an explanation, and let no one die in vain!”

With these words, the situation was clarified.

But the gaps left in the story unavoidably invite speculation.

Elder Tianquan’s senior disciple didn’t die after all…

What has he gone through over these years?

Probably having fallen into the hands of the Night Lord, it couldn’t have been anything good.

His drastic change in temperament might stem from this.

But why would he join the Night Lord?

At this moment, suddenly murdering in Tianqu City, what was it for?

The crowd was abuzz with discussions, but no one doubted the truth of Wan Cangxin’s words.

After all, lies are too easily exposed.

Regarding this matter, Wan Cangxin had mentioned earlier that he would go to Eternal Night Valley after the Tianqu Sword Meeting to cleanse the sect.

Saying this in front of so many people, if he does not act, everything he has built up would be ruined.

Moreover, Elder Tianquan is still alive. Simply by finding him and asking, it’s not hard to see the truth.

Besides, if Wan Cangxin can’t give everyone an explanation after this, the matter today is still not considered settled.

Thus, no one doubted his statement.

The subsequent assurances Wan Cangxin made to the Huayang Sect, although not mentioned here, suffice it to say temporarily stabilized them.

Luo Changsheng also breathed a sigh of relief, directed people to disperse the crowd, and told them not to linger here.

As people scattered, someone suddenly said to Wei Ziyi, “Miss Wei, don’t you still have a letter to deliver to the Second Palace Master?”

“Oh my!”

Reminded by this, Wei Ziyi suddenly remembered that indeed she had such a matter.

She quickly said, “Then I’ll go do that now. Do you want to come along?”

“No, I won’t.”

Su Mo smiled and said, “I still have to visit the Ziyang Sect to meet various uncles and seniors.”

“Alright, let’s do our separate things.”

Wei Ziyi waved her hand and hastily left.

Su Mo made sure she had gone far before he spoke to Fu Han Yuan and Hu Sandao:

“You go back to the inn and wait for me.”

“Understood.”

Fu Han Yuan and Hu Sandao immediately agreed, and turned to leave.

Su Mo then looked around in the crowd for a moment, quickly found his target, and with a smile, leapt to follow.

Moments later, in a deserted alley.

The swordsman wearing the conical hat stopped, holding the longsword which he repositioned into his arms.

Looking up slightly, he saw someone sitting atop the wall, looking down at him.

“Is it you?”

The swordsman instantly recognized Su Mo’s identity: “Were you waiting for me?”

“Yes.”

Su Mo nodded.

“What brings you here?”

The man remained cold, as if he was a solitary and lofty swordsman.

Su Mo glanced at the longsword in the man’s hand and said with a smile:

“Fine sword.”

“Indeed, a fine sword!”

The swordsman nodded, flipped the longsword in his hand, and presented it forward:

“This sword is named Seven Stars, forged from a strange stone from beyond the heavens.

“In the past, the great forging master Huo Lanshan personally hammered it for forty-nine days, after which this sword was made!

“However, since its creation, there has been no scabbard in the world that could contain it.

“For this, Huo Lanshan personally forged a scabbard and scoured the world, eventually finding seven divine stones of various colors, embedding them into the scabbard so that it could finally subdue the sword’s sharp edge.”
