Ch 531: Approaching The Truth

The Demon-Slaying Sword muttered to itself, the Feather Fan unable to take it anymore, blurted out, “You stupid thing, can you shut up! If you want to die, don’t drag me into it!”

“What do you mean?”

“Stupid thing, you should stay in a museum!”

The Demon-Slaying Sword almost went berserk and fought it again. The blade was just unsheathed when Chang Yinzi pushed it back.

The Old Taoist made a move, and the Demon-Slaying Sword behaved itself, glaring resentfully at the Feather Fan, scheming to fight that broken fan again!

“Go watch Shu girl, don’t let her wake up.”

The Demon-Slaying Sword quickly slipped away.

Chang Yinzi took the Feather Fan and walked into the distance, disappearing into the Mist Miasma after a while.

The Demon-Slaying Sword dared not approach Jiang Nanyu, nor could it sleep, boredly circling the tree where Jiang Nanyu was meditating, one circle, two circles, three circles…

Suddenly, it stopped abruptly.

Then the blade suddenly shuddered—

Whoa!

The Demon-Slaying Sword belatedly realized why that broken fan had scolded him earlier!

Someone like Zhuge Liuyun, a gifted woman, the number of people who would want to alter her Fate in the world would absolutely not exceed three. Furthermore, she is a once-in-a-century genius of the Zhuge Clan, naturally treasured and protected by the Zhuge Clan, protecting her Soul Jade Slip.

No one would dare to face the pressure of the Zhuge Clan, a Metaphysics Noble Family, hunting them down to extinction to deal with Zhuge Liuyun. The cost is too great, especially with the elusive and unfathomably powerful Chang Yinzi secretly protecting her!

So there’s only one possibility left…

Zhuge Liuyun did it willingly!

But why would she do that?

The Demon-Slaying Sword vaguely felt like it was about to approach the truth, but it was always a little short of understanding.

Until dawn, after Jiang Nanyu woke up, the Demon-Slaying Sword was still slumped on the stone, wilted, not having figured it out.

After Jiang Nanyu meditated all night, her entire state reached its peak.

After she woke up, the Karmic Flame Lotus automatically merged into her body, as if it had never appeared.

“Venerable Ancestor, are you fishing?” Jiang Nanyu looked at the Demon-Slaying Sword lying on the stone, its scabbard casually discarded aside, the blade’s luster also very dim, and couldn’t help but ask.

“Fish? Where are the fish?”

The General, who had been out all night, had just returned and was lying down, drowsy, when he suddenly heard Jiang Nanyu’s words, immediately raised his head, and stared around with wide eyes.

Jiang Nanyu rolled her eyes at it: “Eating, eating, did you digest all the food from last night’s big table?”

“Digested it all… burp…”

Before he finished speaking, a loud belch came from the General’s mouth.

The slap in the face was like a tornado, coming so fast.

The General now wished he could find a crack in the ground to hide in, but still pretended to be calm and licked his paws: “I wandered around last night, and incidentally had a snack, it’s, it’s just that, the surroundings are quite safe.”

Jiang Nanyu looked at it with a wry smile.

The General nervously looked around, then poked the Demon-Slaying Sword: “What are you doing?”

The Demon-Slaying Sword fell to the ground, only then barely waking up: “Ah? Shu girl, you’re awake…”

“Venerable Ancestor, are you alright?” Jiang Nanyu couldn’t help but worry. Now that she was in the Bewitching Ravine, the Demon-Slaying Sword was one of her life-saving Magical Artifacts, and it absolutely couldn’t malfunction at this critical moment.

The Demon-Slaying Sword hesitated, just about to tell Jiang Nanyu what it had been thinking about all night and couldn’t figure out, when Chang Yinzi appeared slowly, swinging his tattered fan.

“Awake? Then pack up and get ready to leave.” Chang Yinzi glanced unintentionally at the Demon-Slaying Sword, saying nothing, yet seeming to say everything.

The Demon-Slaying Sword immediately fell silent.

In the morning, the Mist Miasma in the Bewitching Ravine had dissipated considerably, and the visible range had expanded greatly.

After Jiang Nanyu had the General take down her Backpack from the tree, she put it on her back, and then happily followed the Old Taoist: “Master, any new discoveries? Which direction are we heading now?”

Chang Yinzi looked at her, raising an eyebrow slightly: “Where’s your map?”

“Map? What map?” Jiang Nanyu subconsciously asked back, then remembered, “That map is the map of the Netherworld Barrier, we’re not in…”

Her voice stopped abruptly.

Jiang Nanyu’s eyes widened involuntarily, her tone revealing a bit of disbelief: “You mean, we’ve already entered the range of the Netherworld Barrier?”

“Barely at the outer edge.” Chang Yinzi pointed around, “Look carefully, what’s different about the surrounding vegetation, and the arrangement of these stones?”

Last night, the Mist Miasma obscured everything, Jiang Nanyu couldn’t see anything clearly. Now that Chang Yinzi reminded her, Jiang Nanyu began to carefully examine the surroundings…
