Legend of Swordsman

Buzzzzzz!

The eyes of the white-haired burly old man and Jian Wushuang met in the air. Jian Wushuang felt as if two thunderbolts had shot into his eyes. He could not help but shrink his pupils and take half a step back.

When Jian Wushuang opened his eyes to look at the person again, his face was solemn.

The white-haired, burly old man in front of him was another Six Scar Void Master. In terms of strength, he was probably even more powerful than the God Refining Sect Master!

"Eh?"

The white-haired burly old man was even more surprised. He was a Void Warrior who specialized in thunder techniques and the power of thunder had already penetrated his body. Although he did not use his void power, the pressure and violent aura that came with his gaze was something that even a Three Scar Void Warrior would not be able to withstand.

However, this person only took half a step back?

"Looks like Ba Huang's new Sect Master replacement isn't a simple character."

The white-haired old man shook his head, but he did not think too much about it.

"Wushuang, this is the Lord High Emissary." The God Refining Sect Master introduced.

"Lord High Emissary." Jian Wushuang cupped his hands and nodded at the white-haired burly old man. He then looked at the God Refining Sect Master and said, "Sect Master."

"Mm, Wushuang. Now that you're going to take over my position as the Sect Master of the God Refining Sect, I'll be direct with you."

The God Refining Sect Master nodded slightly. He thought for a moment and said, "Wushuang, the Lord Emissary has come to the God Refining Sect to take me to a place that is extremely dangerous. I don't know if I can return safely. Our God Refining Sect can not be without a leader. Therefore, I have decided to pass on the position of Sect Master to you. You will temporarily take over the position and supervise the sect. Are you willing?"

"I will do my best to protect the God Refining Sect!" Jian Wushuang stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said in a deep voice.

When the God Refining Sect Master heard this, a look of satisfaction flashed across his eyes. He then said, "Good. Wushuang, I've already sent a message to the five great Grand Elders before you arrived, asking them to assist you. These five Grand Elders are the true pillars of our God Refining Sect. Among them, Elder Pan Shan and the others have been in the God Refining Sect for even longer than I have. I believe that with the help of the five of them, you will be able to get through all matters, big or small, safely. Thus, you do not need to worry too much."

Pausing for a moment, the God Refining Sect Master continued, "In the past, when my God Refining Sect's Sect Master changes, we would often announce it to the universe and let thousands of dynasties come to congratulate us. This time, I left in a hurry, so I'm afraid I didn't have time to make it too grand."

"But my God Refining Sect can't be so perfunctory and lose face. I'll send the corpse crows to all the sects we're on good terms with later to invite them to the banquet and witness your ascension."

"However, there's one place that I need you to personally make a trip to show your sincerity."

"What place? Please speak your mind, Sect Master," Jian Wushuang said.

"Dark Yin Palace." The God Refining Sect Master spat out three words.

"Dark Yin Palace?"

Jian Wushuang was slightly stunned. After all, he had been in the Void Universe for a long time, so he more or less understood the power division in the Void Universe.

The Dark Yin Palace was also a top force in the Void Universe. It was an Immortal orthodoxy, but it did not seem to have a good relationship with the God Refining Sect.

How could he, a person who was about to become the Sect Master, personally deliver the invitation?

As if he had seen through Jian Wushuang's confusion, the God Refining Sect Master smiled bitterly and said, "Wushuang, you may not know this, but the Dark Yin Palace is actually from the same body as our God Refining Sect. Back then, the divine corpse of our God Refining Sect's Founding Grandmaster gained intelligence, and he established a sect of his own. That sect is the Dark Yin Palace."

"Our God Refining Sect focuses on the art of refining corpses, but this Dark Yin Palace cultivates itself as a divine corpse."

"All these years, our God Refining Sect and the Dark Yin Palace have had many disputes because of our ideals."

"However, the ancestral teachings of our God Refining Sect states that whenever there is a change in the Sect Master, we must personally visit the other sect and invite them to sign the alliance agreement."

"It's the same for the Dark Yin Palace. I'm afraid that when they have a new Palace Master, they will also come to our God Refining Sect."

After the God Refining Sect Master finished speaking, Jian Wushuang nodded in understanding and replied, "This disciple understands. Then this disciple will set off today."

To Jian Wushuang, it was just a process. There was no trouble, so it was naturally not a problem.

"Yes, I will arrange for a disciple to accompany you. You can set off tomorrow morning," the God Refining Sect Master said.

Then, the God Refining Sect Master told Jian Wushuang a few more things that he would be responsible for after he became the Sect Master and let him leave.

The white-haired, burly old man did not say a word from the beginning to the end. Instead, he listened quietly. After Jian Wushuang left, he said to the God Refining Sect Master meaningfully, "Ba Huang, I can see that this person's emotions are not good, and his tone is neither humble nor arrogant. I'm afraid he's a meticulous and shrewd person."

The God Refining Sect Master was stunned. He did not understand what the white-haired old man was trying to say.

As for the white-haired old man, he only shook his head and said nothing more.

...

The next morning.

After Jian Wushuang packed up, he planned to leave the God Refining Sect and head to the Dark Yin Palace.

From a distance, Jian Wushuang saw a tall and graceful woman in red standing at the gate, waiting.

"Jiu Sha?" Jian Wushuang took a step forward and raised his eyebrows.

Could it be that the accompanying disciple that the God Refining Sect Master was talking about was her?

"Wushuang, Wushuang, the Sect Master has sent me to accompany you and take care of you. Moreover, the Sect Master has said that I will become your personal maidservant and will be at your beck and call."

Jiu Sha lowered her head and did not dare to look at Jian Wushuang.

Ever since that incident in the Sect Master's main hall that day, the two had stopped contacting each other. In Jiu Sha's heart, she had an inexplicable fear of this seemingly kind and gentle Junior Brother Wushuang, who was actually cold and arrogant.

Yes, it was fear.

"Oh, then let's go."

Jian Wushuang nodded and released the giant bone bird that the master of the God Refining Sect had given him. He took a step forward and landed on the back of the giant bone bird.

He knew why the God Refining Sect Master had sent Jiu Sha with him. It was probably because of the conflict between Jian Wushuang and Yan Dan in the hall that day.

Although this conflict had nothing to do with Jiu Sha, it was still because of Jiu Sha. Therefore, the God Refining Sect Master wanted to 'compensate' him in a disguised way.

Jian Wushuang felt helpless about this.

"Oh well, I'll find a chance to explain it to the God Refining Sect Master when I return."

Shaking his head, Jian Wushuang saw Jiu Sha get on the giant bone bird and step on it with her right foot.

In an instant, the giant bone bird let out a clear cry. It flapped its wings and instantly turned into a stream of light. It soared into the sky and disappeared from the entrance of the God Refining Sect.
