Legend of Dragon Son-in-law
Chapter 2504: River Azure
"Ah...Old Thief Azure River, you deceived me! You deceived me!"
Faust Beaumont’s body was soaring through the air, yet he still managed to shout these words with all his might.
There were only the three of them around.
Nine Nether True Lord and Julius Reed clearly heard these words.
"Old Thief Azure River?"
Julius Reed turned his head and looked at Nine Nether True Lord: "Emperor Azure River?"
"He is from our time, so Azure River can only refer to Emperor Azure River. There’s absolutely no one else worthy of the name Azure River."
Nine Nether True Lord gazed at the vanishing figure, worriedly saying, "The thing I feared has happened."
If other ancient martial artists indeed survived, it would bring a devastating blow to this world.
Nine Nether True Lord knew very well what he thought back then.
If it wasn’t for meeting Julius Reed, he would have ended up like the vanished Faust Beaumont, dominated by greed.
Continuing to walk the path of conquering this world.
But in his dreams, a conversation with Emperor Azure River made him finally realize the truth.
He began to live like Julius Reed.
But the person inside Faust Beaumont’s body definitely didn’t think the same way.
Upon finding out he was Nine Nether True Lord, he did not feel fear, and even dared to call Emperor Azure River, Old Thief Azure River.
A person like him is definitely not simple.
But who could he be?
"I must catch up to him, or else this world will suffer a bloodbath." Nine Nether True Lord rushed forward.
Julius Reed followed closely behind, asking, "Why did that person mistake me for Azure River?"
"I find it strange too. If we weren’t old friends, I would think you were Emperor Azure River just by the golden glow that flickers when you make a move."
Nine Nether True Lord turned his head and asked seriously, "Honestly, are you Emperor Azure River or not?"
This question had persisted for a long time.
But as everyone knows, Emperor Azure River was not a person of lust.
He even avoided women, which was quite astonishing.
It could be said that besides martial arts, he had no pursuits or desires.
But Julius Reed had a great fondness for women, to the extent of being describable as a lecher, so Nine Nether True Lord did not believe he was Emperor Azure River.
"Of course I am not, I don’t even know who Emperor Azure River is." Julius Reed asked while running, "What did Emperor Azure River say to you in the dream?"
The Twin Dragon Jade Pendant allows everyone to see the person they most look forward to.
Nine Nether True Lord saw Emperor Azure River.
So Julius Reed asked to find out more.
He often heard this name and became curious about Emperor Azure River’s history.
What had happened to one of the strongest ancient gods?
"Emperor Azure River said he was dead, but this is quite normal. The outcome of that disaster was that the more powerful one was, the quicker they died, whereas ordinary commoners ended up surviving."
Nine Nether True Lord spoke of his idol with great admiration.
"Emperor Azure River’s three legendary skills, the first is the Heaven-Piercing Finger! Legend has it that with one finger, Emperor Azure River could pierce a hole in the sky. No one has seen whether it’s true, but there is no smoke without fire."
"The second skill is the Thousand Mile Vision. You know, Emperor Azure River’s eyes could see everything that had happened everywhere. This has almost been confirmed. Some even say that Emperor Azure River’s eyes could see the past and the future, but no one knows the truth."
Upon hearing this, Julius Reed’s body trembled.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Nine Nether True Lord turned back to Julius Reed’s side, asking with concern, "Are you feeling unwell? That guy was severely injured by you. I can handle it myself. If you’re not feeling well, just go back and wait for me."
He worried that Julius Reed might not be at ease, so he explained, "I can completely take care of myself, rest assured. Besides, I am Nine Nether True Lord."
"No." Julius Reed slowly lifted his head, looking at Nine Nether True Lord’s eyes and asking, "Did you say Emperor Azure River had the Thousand Mile Vision?"
His Eye of God twitched non-stop.
Julius Reed’s eyes were blind, unable to see.
But the Eye of God doesn’t need eyes.
Everything around was within Julius Reed’s sight.
Clearly.
Even as long as Julius Reed is willing, he can see everything happening far away.
However, if he really did so, and inadvertently lost control of the strength, it is highly likely that the Eye of God would fall dormant.
At that time, he would become truly blind.
And could see nothing.
So unless it was absolutely necessary, Julius Reed would not use this power.
Now that Nine Nether True Lord mentioned the Thousand Mile Vision, he had to figure out what this thing was.
Was it possible that he was really related to Emperor Azure River?
Could the Eye of God be Emperor Azure River’s eye?
"Emperor Azure River having the Thousand Mile Vision is an absolute fact. Whether it can see the past or future, no one knows, but as long as Emperor Azure River wanted, he could see everything he wished to see."
Talking about his idol, Nine Nether True Lord couldn’t help but slow down his steps, saying, "You know, sometimes the unknown is also a kind of happiness. Emperor Azure River could see everything, so he was lonely, he could even hear others’ heartbeats."
"It is said that later, Emperor Azure River gouged out his own eyes and cut off his ears, becoming a person who could neither see nor hear. He wanted to be a normal person, but it was such a luxury for him."
"I admire Emperor Azure River because of his personal charisma, regardless of his abilities. Seeing what you want to see, hearing what you want to hear. What is this? This is absolute invincibility! Anyone with this ability would use it to realize their power, status, and ambition."
"But what about Emperor Azure River? He gave it all up!"
Nine Nether True Lord couldn’t help but sigh once more, "What is a Saint? Emperor Azure River is a Saint. The world’s number one... Saint!"
"You mean, Emperor Azure River could know what others were thinking?" Julius Reed had never been so shocked, "Ears?"
"Yes, ears." Nine Nether True Lord nodded, "If Emperor Azure River wished, there could only be one emperor in the world, and that would be him. But he didn’t want it, and no one knew his inner world."
"Brother. What’s the matter with you?" He noticed something was off with Julius Reed.
"Nothing, I just have a...headache." Julius Reed forced a smile, quickening his steps. "Find that person and find out everything!"
Nine Nether True Lord knew part of the story, and perhaps the person who hadn’t died also knew part of the story.
As long as the information he had was enough, he would know Emperor Azure River’s final outcome, and where those ears and eyes ended up!
The truth!
Everything is for the truth!
Julius Reed didn’t want to become someone else; he only wanted to be himself!
Even if that person was Emperor Azure River!
He was unwilling!
The two ran as fast as they could and finally saw a figure at the edge of a cliff.
Faust Beaumont!
That clothing, that back, Julius Reed remembered it clearly!
"Now, turn around." Julius Reed’s voice was somewhat hoarse.
