Chapter 1099 [Immortal Sword 9]
Anu turned a deaf ear to Jiujianxian's dissuasion and only wanted to enter the Demon Locking Tower to save Zhao Linger. Jiujianxian knew that the tower was extremely dangerous, but facing Anu's firm attitude, he had no choice but to give his personal treasures to Anu and Tang Yu one by one, hoping that these treasures could help them at the critical moment.
Just as Anu and Tang Yu were about to enter the Demon Locking Tower, Jiu Jianxian suddenly remembered an incident. It turned out that ten years ago, Jiu Jianxian had met a master on his way to Shushan. Seeing that Jiu Jianxian was quite intelligent, the master gave him half of the pendant and told him that this half of the pendant contained endless mysteries. If he could find the other half that matched it, he would be able to comprehend the true Tao.
However, the Drunken Swordsman was young and frivolous at the time, and did not take the half of the pendant seriously. Instead, he gave it to his good friend, the Sword Saint. After receiving the half of the pendant, the Sword Saint felt like he had found a treasure and tried to comprehend the secrets of it day and night.
Ten years ago, the Sword Master resolutely decided to return the sword and go down the mountain in order to comprehend the Dao. At the foot of the mountain, he accidentally met the owner of the other half of the pendant, the Witch Queen. The two fell in love at first sight and soon fell in love. However, the Sword Master knew that this relationship would affect his understanding of the Dao, so he reluctantly gave it up and returned to Shushan.
Soon after, the Witch Queen also came to Mount Shu to look for the Sword Saint. When she met the Drunken Sword Immortal, an unexpected story unfolded...
Holding the pendant in hand, Anu and Tang Yu bravely marched towards the Demon Locking Tower. They rode their swords and rode the wind, arriving in front of the Demon Locking Tower as fast as a bird. Standing in front of this towering tower, Anu and Tang Yu were not afraid and walked into the tower hand in hand.
After entering the Demon Locking Tower, they were immediately attacked by various demons and monsters, some of which were ferocious and brutal, and some were insidious and cunning, but Anu and Tang Yu relied on their courage and wisdom, as well as the treasures given by the Drunken Sword Immortal, to overcome dangers again and again and successfully solved one difficulty after another.
After a difficult journey, Anu and Tang Yu finally arrived at the abode of Jiang Ming's soul. Jiang Ming's soul had been trapped here for many years and suffered torture. The Sword Master knew Jiang Ming's obsession, so he told Jiang Ming through Tang Yu that everything in the world has a destiny, and advised him to let go of his obsession and get liberation.
Under the guidance of the Sword Saint, Jiang Ming's soul was finally freed, and his obsession dissipated. Anu and Tang Yu completed their mission and successfully rescued Zhao Linger.
The Drunken Swordsman was relieved when he saw Anu and Tang Yu successfully come out.
For some reason, the Drunken Swordsman felt an indescribable sense of familiarity when he looked at Anu in front of him. He stared at Anu and suddenly asked, "Your name is Anu, right? Then who is your mother?"
Hearing this, Anu shook her head slightly, with a trace of confusion in her eyes, and replied: "I don't know, I only remember that it was the Lord who picked me up, and it has always been the Lord who raised me up."
After hearing this, Drunken Swordsman frowned slightly, and his doubts in his heart became even greater. He asked, "My Lord? Which sect does she belong to?"
Anu thought for a moment and replied, "The Honorable Master is the Master of Peach Blossom Valley and also the Master of the Young Master."
The Drunken Swordsman was shocked, and a name popped up in his mind - Zhao Linger. He stared at Anu and said slowly: "Zhao Linger, right? You look like someone. Are you the Witch Queen's daughter?"
Anu nodded slightly and replied softly, "That's right."
Jiu Jianxian's guess was confirmed. His eyes became more profound and he continued, "So, could it be that the owner of Peach Blossom Valley is the mysterious princess of Nanzhao Kingdom?"
Anu looked surprised, obviously surprised that the Drunken Swordsman knew this, and asked, "How do you know this?"
The Drunken Swordsman smiled and explained, "The only one who dares not to fear the Moon Worship Sect coming to her door is probably the eldest princess. I wonder if Your Highness could introduce me to the eldest princess, or introduce me to the Saint Lady beside the eldest princess. I have some friendship with her."
"I'm afraid I need to ask this first, Sister Qiu Shuang, someone wants to see the master." Ling'er's clear voice echoed in the air, as if with a hint of anxiety.
Qiu Shuang heard Ling'er's call and slowly walked out from the darkness. Her figure seemed a little hazy in the moonlight, giving people a mysterious feeling. When her eyes fell on the Drunken Sword Immortal, she seemed to understand something instantly, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.
"You are looking for the Saint Lady, right? I have already informed the Lord, and I think the Saint Lady is on the way now." Qiu Shuang's voice was calm and gentle, as if she already knew everything.
The Drunken Swordsman hurriedly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Protector Qiu Shuang." His tone revealed his gratitude towards Qiu Shuang.
Qiu Shuang just nodded slightly without saying much, then stood quietly beside Ling'er, like a silent sculpture.
Seeing this, Drunken Swordsman took a deep breath and continued to ask, "I wonder how the Saint Lady has been doing these years?" His eyes were fixed on Qiu Shuang, as if hoping to get some information about the Saint Lady from her answer.
However, Qiu Shuang simply replied: "You should ask her yourself." Her words were concise and clear, without any hesitation.
Time passed by minute by minute, and finally, the Saint Lady appeared in everyone's sight. Her steps were light, like a fairy descending to the mortal world.
Upon seeing this, Drunken Swordsman rushed forward, pulled the Saint Lady aside, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault all these years. Anu is our child, right? I can feel the blood in her body." His voice trembled slightly, revealing his inner uneasiness and guilt.
The Saint Lady stared at the Drunken Swordsman, a hint of mixed emotions flashed through her eyes, but she soon regained her composure. She said softly, "Yes, it's yours."
When Jiu Jianxian heard the Saint Lady's answer, he felt relieved, but at the same time, he felt even more guilty. He quickly said, "I'm sorry, if I had known, I would never have left you and your daughter alone." His words were full of regret and self-blame.
"What are you saying sorry for?" Saint Auntie chuckled and said calmly, "That night was just an accident, and the person you like in your heart is not me. I have let it go over the years."
Jiu Jianxian looked at the Saint Lady, and his heart ached. He knew that he had hurt her in the past, but now he still felt a little sad to hear her say that.
"Haven't you been staying with the Witch Queen before? Why did you suddenly go to the Princess?" Drunken Swordsman asked, changing the subject.
The Saint was silent for a while, then slowly said: "After that night, I said goodbye to the Witch Queen. Later, I met the eldest princess by chance. She was very kind to me and gave me a warm home. Since then, I have been staying with the eldest princess and living a peaceful life."
Jiu Jianxian felt more guilty as he listened to Saint Aunt's words. He knew that he had let Saint Aunt down and their daughter.
"I failed you in the first half of my life." The Drunken Swordsman took a deep breath and mustered up his courage to say, "I wonder if you are willing to let me use the rest of my life to make up for my mistakes and take care of our daughter with me?"
"We'll talk about it later. When everything is over, I will return to Peach Blossom Valley and continue to follow the Lord." The Saint's voice was calm and firm, as if this was something she had already decided.
The Drunken Swordsman looked at the Saint Lady, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he finally said, "I'll accompany you." Although his tone was understated, the determination contained in it could not be ignored.
At the same time, in another place, Li Xiaoyao was anxiously looking for Lin Yueru. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not find Lin Yueru's whereabouts. Without a way to absorb Lin Yueru's luck, his plan could not go on.
The system seemed to have lost interest in Li Xiaoyao. No matter how he cursed, the system did not respond to him. Time passed by minute by minute, and finally, the system's countdown ended. It untied Li Xiaoyao without hesitation and disappeared without a trace.
Li Xiaoyao was so angry that he stamped his feet, but there was nothing he could do.
A strange voice suddenly appeared in Youyou's mind: "Hello, beautiful girl, I am a great system. I can help you realize any dream. As long as you complete the task, there is no wish that I cannot fulfill. Girl, are you willing to sign an agreement with me? I promise to take the host to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks."
Youyou widened his eyes, looking at the wild system that suddenly appeared in front of him with astonishment, and secretly sighed in his heart: This is really a case of searching for something in vain!
She quickly adjusted her emotions, pretended to be frightened, and asked tremblingly: "Who... who are you?"
"Hehe, I'm a god who can help you reach the pinnacle of life!" The Luck Sucking System replied proudly, "As long as you have any wish, I can help you realize it!"
Youyou looked at it doubtfully and continued to ask, "Really? Then what can you do? After all, there are so many bad people in this society now. What if you are a liar?"
The luck-sucking system seemed a little dissatisfied with Youyou's doubts. It raised its voice and said, "How could I be a liar? How about this, to prove my sincerity, I will give you a wish for free. Is that okay?"
Youyou's heart was moved, but on the surface she pretended to be calm and said, "Okay, then I want to see if the gift you gave me is worth the price."
