Chapter 91: 91


91 – Phecda (I)


There is only one path leading to the Sword Mound from the North Peak .


If you take this path, the chance of being spotted by someone is high .


Therefore, Shui Yuner didn’t choose this path .


She chose to cross the mountain forest next to the road .


Although the non-existent path in the mountain forest can’t be regarded as rugged, but it’s definitely not as smooth as the road made by people .


The night has already descended .


The moon is almost completely concealed by the dense forest . Thanks to the bit of moonlight coming through the foliage, the girl isn’t deprived of her sight .


Even so, this path still isn’t easy to traverse .


Although she’s being careful, but she still encountered several incidents .


She tripped over the roots of trees, had her clothes ripped by branches, and even nearly fell into a dark hole dug by some animal .


When Shui Yuner reached the place where tombstones were lined up, she was cutting a sorry figure .


Even so, she had no intention to stop here .


Because the narrow road leading into the Sword Mound is already in sight .


For the next part of the trip, she cannot continue to use the mountain forest any longer .


The cemetery is extending without end .


If she bypasses the cemetery and moves under the cover of the mountain forest, who knows how long it will take her .


Long delays can cause complications . In order to avoid this, Shui Yuner decided to go directly through a secluded part of the cemetery .


… Maybe it’s just a coincidence .


As she walked through the cemetery, her eyes inadvertently fell on the highest place .


A black tombstone towers there alone .


The sound of leaves rustling rose, and a light wind lifted water-colored hair .


Suddenly, the stars in the sky seemed to revolve and turn into a deep vortex .


… Please don’t make her sad .


In an instant, Shui Yuner appeared to hear a voice, a green [1] voice .


Startled, the girl looked around cautiously, searching for the source .


“… Was it a misconception?”


She didn’t hear the voice again .


After crossing the cemetery, then came the most difficult part . The road connecting the cemetery and the Sword Mound is flat and open, making it difficult to hide .


More importantly, Shui Yuner saw a wooden house .


In other words, someone lives in front of the Sword Mound . It is probably the rumored Mound Guardian Elder .


Can I pass through? Will I be discovered? Shui Yuner suddenly became nervous .


She restrained her breathing and movement and covered her aura, and then embarked on the final part of the journey .


Shui Yuner’s steps are very light, but the pace is unexpectedly fast . This is a skill she learnt previously .


The person who taught her – her Teacher from long ago, once said that this bated breath technique is likely to save her life in a moment of danger .


This technique is to let me seize a chance at life when in a sticky situation, but I’m using it for things like sneaking around… Shui Yuner felt a bit sorry for her former Teacher .


She easily reached the narrow entrance of the Sword Mound . There were no signs of her being discovered midway .


Although it is strange that things are going this smoothly, and Shui Yuner became more wary, but she didn’t stop .


If there is really the thing I want in there, then what is there to hesitate? Shui Yuner made up her mind and crossed the “boundary” .


The moment she stepped into the Sword Mound, the world changed .


Swords… the two walls that make up the slender, narrow path are embedded with swords exuding some kind of formidable oppressive power .


It’s like they are warning her not to move forward .


After a pause, Shui Yuner ignored it and continued ahead .


… Suddenly, there was a sound, a buzzing sound .


The swords deeply embedded in the rock walls emitted sad cries .


In the next moment, as if they gained life, countless swords left the rock walls and floated in midair .


Before Shui Yuner could react, the swords turned in the air and shot at her .


“…!”


Too fast .


Before she could even take a breath, the swords were already in front of her .


Am I going to die… Shui Yuner closed her eyes subconsciously .


“…?”


After a long time, the pain still hasn’t stricken her . The girl slowly opened her eyes .


Cold light stung her eyes .


There are countless swords hovering around Shui Yuner, and the cold aura exuding from their tips is piercing her skin


Shui Yuner couldn’t help shivering .


She knows she’s at the brink of death .


If these swords go any further, they will puncture her skin and pierce her flesh, and she will suffer an agonizing death .


Not daring to act rashly, she can only hold her breath .


What do I do? Shui Yuner didn’t expect this to happen .


It wasn’t easy to get here! She bit her lower lip unwillingly, anxious .


However, to her surprise…


The swords suddenly retreated and returned to their original positions .


Everything before seemed like an illusion .


“What… what’s going on?”


All bark but no bite .


Why did the swords move suddenly? And why did they retreat suddenly? Shui Yuner doesn’t understand what happened .


However, this isn’t the time to ponder this problem .


Perhaps the abnormal changes just now have attracted the attention of the temples Heaven Realm masters . She has to hurry up .


Shortly after, her field of view expanded suddenly .


There are still swords in her field of view .


The towering rock wall surrounding the wide open space is full of swords erected upright .


The swords are of different types and sizes .


The first thing Shui Yuner noticed was an old wooden hut . The wooden hut looks very simple, and is in a state of disrepair .


It is said that the Great Ancestor Qi Guiyuan has gone into seclusion in the Sword Mound for many years . The wooden hut is probably where he stayed at that time .


“Ah?”


Shui Yuner found something in front of the wooden hut .


It was strange pants and shoes, a style of clothes she has never seen before .


Although the girl is a little curious, but that is not what she came here for, so she quickly looked away .


Her gaze finally fell on…


In the middle of the Sword Mound, there is a small hillock .


No, perhaps the term sword hillock suits that place better .


Swords, a dense forest of swords, countless swords .


It gives of a stifling feeling .


It is uncomfortable, and the girl wanted to turn her gaze away .


However, before that, she saw a sword at the top of the sword hillock .


This sword looks like an ordinary practice sword of the Merak Temple .


But the girl knows that the two are fundamentally different .


They are worlds apart .


No one will pay attention to a practice sword .


In comparison, although the one on the top of the sword hillock isn’t conspicuous, but once noticed, it is difficult to ignore it .


The Merak Temple’s practice swords are imitations that use a famous sword as the template .


The name of the sword is Phecda, it is the sword of the founder of the Merak Temple .


At the same time, it is also Shui Yuner’s target .


She suppressed the excitement in her heart, and the walked towards Phecda step by step .


“It’s really here…”


As if responding to the girl’s call, Phecda shook a little .


Shui Yuner extended a trembling hand and slowly approached Phecda’s hilt .


The girl pulled out Phecda gently .


“This is…”


Phecda? The second half of the sentence stuck in her throat .


All of a sudden, the sword blade emitted dazzling white light, which covered Shui Yuner’s sight . Even if you cover your eyes with a sleeve, it’s still impossible to resist that nearly violent light .


Then…


Something, something invaded Shui Yuner’s body and spread along her qi passageways like silk threads .


“… Can you hear me?”


A tender voice appearing to come both from afar and from nearby sounded in her head .
