Chapter 3323: Untitled Other than that, the mystery of the jade chip
Hey, we meet again. Are you surprised?
I’m very sorry. I told everyone that I would be back in two days, but it took so long. The main reason is that… the feeling of rest is so comfortable. I don’t want to move anymore. Hahaha. When I think of the new book I’m going to start next month, I’ll have to do my best again. I’ll let Old Cow indulge for ten to fifteen days!
As for the progress of the new book… it was alright. He had written the first 50,000-60,000 words, but it didn’t feel very good. Now, he was back to 50,000-60,000 words. He estimated that he would be able to save up to 100,000 words by the middle of next month.
He had planned to write the stories of the few important supporting characters in chronological order, but now that he thought about it, it seemed to be better to keep them mysterious. The sea of stars was so vast and the universe was so splendid. Ding Lingdang, Han Te, the boxing champion, Boss Bai, Long Yangjun… They would certainly meet a lot of interesting stories. Why would the old bull finish all of them by himself?
Therefore, the bonus will be mostly finished by the end of this month. Next, I will focus on my new book. If you really want to read the bonus, let’s talk about it later.
In the end, there are still two side stories, but they are really side stories and have nothing to do with the main plot. Do whatever you want!
Then, he started reading ‘The Mystery of Jade Slips’.
…
A long time later.
In a certain timeline in a parallel universe.
“Ta ta ta ta!”
On a starless night, the wind was blowing. On a steep, rugged mountain road, two ‘dragons and wolves’ stomped on the green stones, making sparks fly everywhere. They crushed a lot of rocks and rolled down to the bottom of the abyss where the tides were raging.
The terrain of the mountain was extremely dangerous. Even if it was a handsome horse that had opened its spiritual acupoints and was driven by a qi-training expert, it would still fall to the ground and die without a corpse if it was careless.
However, the two knights on the horses in front and behind did not care about anything else and simply sprinted. They stimulated the bloody holes on the horses with secret arts and accelerated their speed to the maximum.
“Hiss—”
In the sky behind him, more than ten human-headed eagles were hovering. Manipulated by secret arts, their skeleton-like faces were full of brutality as they lunged at the two dragoons.
Two knights held Gold Crow Fire Crossbows in their hands and launched a series of fireballs into the sky, burning the entire sky with the Karmic Fire of the Red Lotus. They managed to resist the assault of the ‘human-faced owls’.
It seemed to be impenetrable, but the number of bolts inside the storage ring was dwindling.
At this moment, the mountain path in front of them collapsed, revealing a gap that was almost a hundred meters wide.
“Master!”
The knight in the back exclaimed in a childish voice. He was a young man in his twenties.
“Let’s go!”
The knight in front whipped his horse and jumped up. With a long howl, he turned into a bolt of lightning and dashed almost a thousand meters away.
Encouraged by his companions, Long Lang, who was at the rear, jumped high into the air and crossed the missing mountain path like a bolt of lightning before the knight raised his whip.
However—
Before the two knights took a breath in relief, they had reached the end of the mountain road.
In front of them was a high cliff. Below the cliff was a dark, bottomless spring, and the landing spot on the opposite side was at least two thousand meters away. If one’s eyesight was not good enough, they would not be able to see the other side at all.
“There’s no way out, Master!”
The young knight shouted again.
“Even if you don’t have a road, you still have to make one. Zhao Chuang, listen to me carefully. This ‘Ultimate Jade Slip’ records the greatest secret of a supreme being who shook the sea of stars in the primeval era. It is very likely to be his peerless technique to roar the stars and shake the heavens!”
The knight in front gritted his teeth and said, “According to the legends, whoever decrypts and comprehends the content of the ‘Supreme Jade Slip’ will be able to dominate the world, suppress the Nine Realms, and even roam among the stars! And over the past ten thousand years, the ‘Supreme Jade Slip’ has shown up nine times, and every time it did, the world would be thrown into chaos. All living creatures would be killed, and the Nine Realms would be soaked in blood!
“This time, the ‘Heaven Wolves Sect’ got the ‘Supreme Jade Slip’ by accident, which led to a catastrophe. If the ‘Supreme Jade Slip’ falls into the hands of the evil Cultivators, there is no telling what kind of catastrophe the human world will experience!
“Zhao Chuang, the Heaven Wolves Sect can be destroyed, and the lives of you, my master, and I can be sacrificed, but this ‘Supreme Jade Slip’ must be sent to ‘Master Cihang’, the leader of the ‘Seven Major Sects’ and the ‘Sorrowful Sea Temple’. He is the only one who knows how to seal the ‘Supreme Jade Slip’ in order to prevent it from harming the world!”
While they were talking, they had reached the front of the cliff.
The ‘human-faced owl’ chasing after them was shrieking in midair, as if it were mocking them for having nowhere to run.
Zhao Chuang immediately understood his master’s determination. He was greatly shocked. “Master, what are you doing?”
“Take it, Zhao Chuang. Remember, your head can be cut off, your body can die, and your soul can vanish into thin air, but this ‘Supreme Jade Slip’ must be handed over to Master Ci Hang in person!”
His master threw a green bamboo tube to Zhao Chuang and shouted desperately, “We can’t let it fall into the hands of the evil Cultivators! We can’t!”
Shua!
The dragon-wolf under his master’s feet was soaring toward the endless cliff.
In the meantime, his master blew a weird whistle, and the handsome horse below Zhao Chuang jumped up, too.
The two handsome horses, one in the front and the other in the back, drew a soul-stirring arc in the air. In the end, there was still a gap in altitude. Before they reached the other side, they had already fallen down.
However, his master had carefully calculated the trajectories of the two handsome horses. The handsome horse under Zhao Chuang’s legs fell precisely behind his master’s handsome horse.
BOOM!
Zhao Chuang’s handsome horse stomped on the ground heavily. He actually treated his master’s handsome horse as a stepping stone, thereby gaining a new height, strength, and speed. He continued rushing towards the opposite shore.
But his master, together with the handsome horse, accelerated and fell into the dark clouds.
“Ah!”
Zhao Chuang felt as if his heart was being torn apart. However, the sect had undergone a series of drastic changes in recent days. Other than himself, everyone had died a violent death. This kind of anger caused him to not have the time to feel sad. He gritted his teeth and rode his handsome horse, falling on the opposite shore at a close distance.
The gap between the two cliffs was too large. Zhao Chuang had suffered heavy wounds when he was fighting against the ‘human-faced owl’. His spiritual energy was no longer functioning, and he fell to the ground, spurting a mouthful of blood.
His legs and legs were broken, too, and he could not move forward anymore.
Gritting his teeth, Zhao Chuang stood up and squeezed his clothes. The hard part was still there. He was somewhat relieved and looked at the sky behind him, only to find that a large group of human-faced owls were chasing after him with hideous smiles.
Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!
Zhao Chuang emptied the Gold Crow Fire Ballista and shot the two human-faced owls into fireballs. Then, he unsheathed the saber on his waist, ready for a final battle.
At the critical moment, dozens of mysterious ripples appeared in midair and condensed into wind blades that chopped off the heads of more than ten human-faced owls!
“Fellow Cultivators of the Heaven Wolves Sect, don’t panic. Han Ziyi of the Fierce Wind Sect and ‘Nineteen Hurricane Swords’ are coming to your rescue!”
From the forest on the two sides of the hill, more than ten sword Cultivators in neat clothes crawled out. Ten of them were fighting the remaining human-faced rascals with their flying swords, while three of them lunged at Zhao Chuang. “Where is the ‘Supreme Jade Slip’? Let’s give it to Master Ci Hang!”
Strong Wind Sect was a famous sect that supported the weak and supported the strong. It was a well-respected sect. Zhao Chuang was somewhat relieved.
However, when he thought of his master’s dying words, he still said, “Senior Brothers of the Fierce Wind Sect, Zhao Chuang of the Heaven Wolves Sect is here, and the ‘Supreme Jade Slip’ is in my hands. My master asked me to hand it over to ‘Master Cihang’ in person. Please show me the way, Senior Brothers!”
“Sure!”
The three sword Cultivators suddenly accelerated. Han Ziyi, who was in the lead, looked as hideous as ‘Human Face Owl’. “Then let us send you on your way!”
