Daqian Night Emperor

Chapter 310 The Strangeness in the Body of Donghua Sword Immortal

In the princess's mansion, inside the quiet room.

Donghua held the teacup and took a sip.

He was still dressed the same way as he had been at the birthday banquet, in a coarse linen shirt, with his hair simply raised and pinned up with a wooden hairpin, his hair hanging sloppily down at his temples.

Anyone who saw him would think he was just a poor Taoist who couldn't even afford a decent Taoist robe. Who could have imagined that such a person would be the world's number one swordsman?
After drinking the tea, he put down the teacup and glanced to his side inadvertently. When he saw Chu Xuan sitting on his right, he couldn't help but sigh.

Soon, he will go to the southern border with Ji Wuchang. Now he is just waiting for Ji Wuchang to be crowned king before setting off.

But before that, he had to find a successor who could inherit his "Tao"!

Donghua was obsessed with swordsmanship all his life. He had no relatives or children, never married, and never accepted any disciples. Now that he is dying, looking back, the only people whose names and faces he can remember, apart from his comrades in Mount Xumi, are Nie Xiuyuan and Chu Xuan, who were his fellow comrades and were known as the "Three Swordsmen of the World" by the Daqian martial arts world.

He came to see Chu Xuan today, firstly to reminisce about the past, and secondly to see with his own eyes whether Chu Xuan was suitable to inherit his "Sword Dao".

But when I saw it today... I was greatly disappointed.

Chu Xuan had already reached the peak of the third rank twenty years ago, but after so many years, why was he still standing still?
Twenty years ago, he and the other two had all reached the third level of supernatural power realm, and had all been promoted to the supernatural power realm from their ultimate nine-patterned primordial embryos.

Now, with the help of several seniors, he has become a first-class Daoist. Nie Xiuyuan heard that his Shura mind is extremely solid, and he thinks he is also a leader in the realm of creation. Why has Chu Xuan been standing still?
Donghua was not aware of the changes that had happened to Chu Xuan over the years. He only knew that Chu Xuan's "mindset was uncertain". If he inherited his great Dao, even if he became a first-class Daoist in the future, his future achievements would not be very high.

His sigh caught Chu Xuan's attention.

Chu Xuan's attention was originally focused on the area outside the quiet room, and he would glance at it from time to time. When he heard Donghua sigh, he thought he was getting impatient.

He turned his head to look at Donghua, smiled and said soothingly: "Brother Donghua, I have sent people from the mansion to look for Zhao Enzhu. I think he will be back soon."

Donghua did not explain, and followed up with the question: "Brother Chu, why did you insist on asking me to come and see Zhao Qi'an when I am not here to chat with you today?"

Come to think of it...it's such a coincidence.

He only knew that Nie Xiuyuan was a protector of Zhao Qi'an and was inseparable from him. But when he met Chu Xuan today, he learned that Nie Xiuyuan had also joined Zhao Qi'an.

What kind of magic power does Zhao Qi'an have? He actually made two of the "Three Swordsmen in the World" willing to serve under him.

When he heard the National Master mention Zhao Qi'an before, he just thought that Zhao Qi'an's background was not simple, but now it seems that this person himself is not simple.

However, Donghua was not a person who liked to meddle in other people's affairs. At this moment, he was worried about finding the successor, so he was not that interested in Zhao Qi'an, and originally had no plan to come to the princess's mansion to meet Zhao Qi'an.

Now the two of them had been waiting in the princess's mansion for a while, and Donghua finally couldn't help but speak again.

Chu Xuan hesitated: "This... my boss actually knows some medical skills."

Donghua recalled that at the beginning, Chu Xuan had no intention of introducing Zhao Qi'an to him.

Even when mentioning the "Boss Zhao", he was vague in his words, as if he was unwilling to reveal anything more in front of him.

Now he was dragged to the princess's mansion to see Zhao Qi'an... It was because I told Chu Xuan the truth that I would not live long, and let him use his spiritual power to explore my body. Chu Xuan's expression became extremely strange, and he dragged me to the princess's mansion and insisted on making me meet Zhao Qi'an.

Donghua knew that Chu Xuan had good intentions, and perhaps Zhao Qi'an really had good medical skills.

But he sighed and said, "I know my physical condition best. It cannot be cured by medicine. Even the most skilled doctors can't do anything for me. I appreciate Brother Chu's kindness for now, but let's forget it."

Seeing that Donghua was about to leave, Chu Xuan quickly stood up and advised: "Brother Donghua, Brother Donghua... since you are here, it's okay to meet my boss. How about just keeping me company?" "By the way, aren't you looking for a successor? Master Zhao has many good talents under his command, especially his new adopted son, who is a natural swordsman..."

Just as Chu Xuan was trying to persuade him, there was a knock on the door, and a maid's voice rang out:

"Master Chu, the master is back!"

Chu Xuan was overjoyed and looked at Donghua: "Brother Donghua, you see Zhao Enzhu is back, why don't you go and see him?"

At this point, Donghua had no choice but to agree: "Okay, let's meet."

……

"Junior Zhao Qi'an, nice to meet Senior Donghua."

A moment later, in the quiet room, Zhao Qi'an bowed to Donghua.

He was somewhat surprised that Sword Immortal Donghua came to visit his house. He never expected that the guest brought by Master Chu would be him.

Donghua just nodded faintly as a greeting.

Zhao Qi'an asked, "I wonder why Senior Donghua is here? If I can help, I won't refuse."

Although he still spoke politely, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He thought that Master Chu would introduce his old friends to him, so that he could try to win over one or two of them. Anyone who could be introduced by Master Chu must not be an unknown person.

It’s just… this time the name is too big and the strength is too strong.

If things go as expected, Donghua Sword Immortal will be the next pillar of Daqian. He has an extraordinary status and is not someone Zhao Qian can win over.

Donghua was speechless for a moment, and after a long pause, he managed to utter two words: "It's okay."

"Ok?"

Zhao Qinan was stunned for a moment.

Everything is fine? Are you visiting me for no reason?
He didn't know that his relationship with Donghua Sword Immortal was so good.

"Benefactor."

Chu Xuan pulled Zhao Qian'an aside, glanced at Donghua, and said in a low voice: "Brother Donghua's condition is somewhat similar to mine, but his condition is a bit worse. I'm afraid he won't live long..."

Zhao Qinan was stunned for a moment, and his brows furrowed sharply.

Qi sea evil energy?

Did Donghua Sword Immortal also get tricked?
But when Zhao Qian thought about it, he felt that something was wrong.

Although Donghua Sword Immortal, Master Nie and Master Chu are all from the same period, if he had also encountered that mysterious force more than ten years ago and had evil energy planted in his Dantian, then how could he have maintained his cultivation over the years without being affected and become a first-class Taoist?

Moreover, there was no problem back then, but it broke out only now, and even endangered the life of a powerful Yangxian?

Weird!
