Chapter 82: The Heavenly Pool Sword Prodigy Ke Mengzhan

Chapter 82: Chapter 82: The Heavenly Pool Sword Prodigy Ke Mengzhan

Su Youyi looked at the building in front of her, hesitating to speak, then stopping, then wanting to speak again.

"Senior Brother, is this the stationed place of the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool in Qingliang City?"

This was the third time she asked her senior brother.

"Indeed, there’s no mistake, it’s here."

Liang Yi nodded in confirmation.

"But... isn’t this area around us..." Su Youyi glanced at the surrounding buildings, her face blushing red, but she ultimately did not utter the word.

"Brothels, yeah. I’ve been here several times with Senior Sister and am quite accustomed to it already." He Zhiqing continued.

"That sounds kind of odd, doesn’t it?" Yu Gejing silently thought.

"Haha, you might not believe it when I say it, but this location was personally chosen by the Sword Master of the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool of that generation." Liang Yi said with a chuckle.

"I don’t believe it, Senior Brother, you must be joking with me!" Su Youyi wore a face that showed she wouldn’t be fooled.

"Eh? Brother Liang actually knows about this secretive matter?" He Zhiqing looked at Liang Yi in surprise, as such delicate information, although not purposely hidden by the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool, wasn’t something readily available for inquiry.

Logically speaking, back then the Banished Immortal had not even been born, not to mention the Taoist Sect.

"I came to know it by chance."

Liang Yi naturally wouldn’t tell him that where there was gossip, there were players, and this had been exposed by the players of the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool themselves, which was quite a significant scoop at the time.

"Is it really true?" Su Youyi didn’t think Senior Brother would conspire with another Senior Brother to deceive her.

"Of course." Yu Gejing nodded, feeling incredulous herself when she first learned about it.

"Then Senior Brother, quickly tell me about it!" Girls are naturally interested in these kinds of things.

Liang Yi estimated the distance; it would take some time to reach the center of the brothel district from here, so there should be enough time to finish the story. It would seem rather deliberate to speak of such matters on another’s turf.

"That time, Qingliang City had just been built, and the Immortal Emperor Xuanzhou wanted to sell a favor to a few Super Forces by letting them choose their own stationed locations. The others didn’t make a big deal out of it and chose their places, but the Sword Master of that generation happened to be detained and couldn’t make it in time."

"For such matters, only the sect leader could decide in person. In the end, nobody knew where it came from, but a sword light pierced through the map of Qingliang City directly into the sect."

At this point, Liang Yi could barely suppress his smile.

"It was unclear whether it was because the Sword Master wasn’t in a good state or the sword light was affected on its way, but the intended location next to the Complete Heaven Sect instead pierced right into the heart of the brothel district!"

"The elders could only exchange glances and follow through. Also, because of this incident, the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool squeezed out the biggest brothel that used to be at the center!"

Su Youyi’s eyes widened slightly; she truly hadn’t expected such a reason.

"Didn’t the Sword Master consider making any changes afterwards?"

Liang Yi shook his head, and so did He Zhiqing; none of them answered.

"That Sword Master never appeared again; the life tablet in the Heavenly Pool shattered directly, leaving no clue as to where he fell." Liang Yi chose to convey this sentence via voice transmission.

The story might sound funny, but it’s also a scar of the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool’s history.

It wasn’t until later that the players who joined the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool could find a top-level quest named [Seeking Clues] at the top of the sect mission board, with rewards so rich they drove countless players of the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool mad, vowing to dig three feet into the ground to find relevant clues.

Unfortunately, even with the players’ capabilities, no one had completed this task by the time Liang Yi traveled through time. It was from this quest that the bored players dug out this piece of secret history.

"Actually, if you look down from high above, you’ll realize that the central area is the territory of the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool, with brothels distributed around it in a circular pattern." Liang Yi changed the subject, bringing up something else.

"Why was it built this way?"

"It wasn’t built this way officially; the brothels did it spontaneously," Yu Gejing explained. "Once, a swordswoman of a generation of the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool came from one of these brothels, discovered accidentally by a passing elder from the Heavenly Pool. Her talent in the Sword Dao was among the best of her generation, yet, unfortunately, she died young."

"On one hand, there was nowhere else in Qingliang City for them to move to, and on the other hand, they were hoping for the possibility of another miracle."

He Zhiqing shook his head; such talents aren’t so easily encountered. That swordswoman used to belong to a well-known family and was forced into the brothel to perform, seeking an opportunity for revenge due to a sudden change in circumstances.

Ultimately, she succeeded in her revenge, but with the cost of her own life.

"We’ve arrived."

The territory of the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool was surrounded by rivers drawn from the city, forming a vast barrier that separated it from the neighboring brothels.

Around the brothel, a massive flower boat was positioned on the water near their own building, making the utmost use of the terrain. They knew that as long as they didn’t rashly approach the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool residence, there would be no problem.

Following the sole cobblestone bridge, Liang Yi and his group gradually approached the ancient wooden tower at the center.

"Halt!"

At the entrance, two white-robed Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool disciples called out.

Liang Yi felt a sharp, stabbing sensation at his back, a familiar sensation—Sword Intent was upon him.

The Sword Intent naturally did not come from the two disciples at the door, but from the Array enveloping the entire wooden tower from above.

The place where the Complete Heaven Sect was located naturally had an Array for protection as well, it was just that they were usually too lazy to activate it.

"Complete Heaven Sect’s He Zhiqing and Yu Gejing, and Taoist Sect’s Liang Yi and Su Youyi are here to visit!"

He Zhiqing stepped forward and said.

The guarding disciples glanced at each other, and while they did not doubt the two from He Zhiqing, the Taoist Sect was here too? Was this their first visit to Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool?

"Please wait a moment, I will go to report this!" One of the disciples turned to enter the tower.

"Is Ke Mengzhan the one leading your sect this time?" He Zhiqing naturally knew the rules and asked another disciple.

"Yes, it is indeed Sword Master Ke Mengzhan leading the team this time. It is said that because Chief He is here, he replaced the original True Inheritor, Wu Yutian, who was scheduled."

"Ha, I knew it, that young guy surely couldn’t resist," He Zhiqing didn’t find it strange at all.

"Enough talk, He Zhiqing! Take my sword!"

Just then, a window above opened, and a figure descended from the sky, the piercing Sword Intent came crashing down with a mighty force like a torrential downpour, aiming straight at He Zhiqing!

Influenced by that overwhelming Sword Intent, the water on the surface naturally formed into the shape of water swords, shooting towards He Zhiqing!

Such murderous intent made both Liang Yi and Su Youyi feel sharp pains all over their bodies.

Yu Gejing’s face showed resignation, as if she had expected this. Pulling Su Youyi and Liang Yi as well as the guarding disciple together, with a wave of her hand, a profound Array appeared out of the Void, enveloping the four of them.

It was then Liang Yi realized that Sister Yu’s level was also around level 48, the same level he had probed from Brother He during their chat, and she was also a great master of Array arts! The ability to form Arrays out of the Void was not something anyone could possess!

Even Su Youyi looked at Sister Yu in surprise.

"Ke Mengzhan, every time we meet, you always bring it on. Aren’t you tired of this? I am!"

He Zhiqing remained composed, unleashing his Liuguang (Edged Light) Stardust Robbery move, with endless starlight flashing behind him, breathtakingly beautiful yet carrying peerless lethality!

Attack with an attack!

His hand signs moved continuously, and with a sweep of He Zhiqing’s large hand, an invisible qi mechanism spread out. The surrounding water swords, which were orderly due to the Array, became chaotic like scattered thoughts, clashing with each other, and even failing to touch the hem of He Zhiqing’s clothes before dissipating on their own.

The Divination Skill of Complete Heaven Sect, second to none in the world!

If Heaven can be divined, what cannot?

Focus all attention on the Liuguang Stardust Robbery, and meet the attack!

When facing top Sword Cultivators, one must never simply defend.

One step defended! Endlessly defending! Until there’s nothing left to defend! That’s when death is upon you!

Divination Skill would not be much use against him, as he strikes in a straight line. What good is it if you can predict it?

Ke Mengzhan’s Qian Yuan Weak Water Sword technique comes from the unparalleled devouring power of Weak Water. Now descending from the sky, carrying a great momentum, its power was even more formidable!

Three thousand weak waters, I take but one ladle!

But the power of one ladle in my hand surpasses the flow of three thousand weak waters!

The starlight created by He Zhiqing’s Liuguang Stardust Robbery comes from the weight of the stars. How much does a single star weigh? Even though He Zhiqing’s Realm is still far from sufficient, he has already begun to reveal his prowess!

In the blink of an eye, the two forces collided!

"Boom!!!"

The invisible shockwaves wildly swept out in all directions, even shattering all windows of nearby buildings that faced this side. Due to Ke Mengzhan’s loud roar, not a single person who was snooping out the window escaped being overturned to the ground, with everyone clutching their backsides and howling in pain.

Several boats moored in the water also swayed violently due to the impact. Those on the boats who were in high spirits were frightened and instantly recoiled upon hearing the deafening collision sound.

Luckily, Yu Gejing’s Array protected Liang Yi and the others, nullifying most of the impact, leaving them to only feel a gust of wind against their faces, their clothes rustling fiercely!
