Unreliable Sword Immortal.

Chapter 99 Sword Spirit King

"Niu Daren installed it in his private cave... Is this Niu Daren any serious?"

Lu Chao asked the Chaos Sword Spirit.

The Chaos Sword Spirit had returned to its original form. It did not answer, but simply circled around Lu Chao's head, like a little pet following him.

"I don't know what abilities this sword spirit has. It must have been influenced by this unreliable system, since it has already gained some favorability, but obviously, this favorability is not enough to make it acknowledge me as its master..."

Lu Chaoding understood immediately. He turned to look at Ye Cuihua, who had also returned to normal, though her face was filled with panic. She said, "Junior Brother Lu Chaoding, this place is about to collapse! Let's leave quickly!"

"Okay, I'll follow your arrangements, Sister-in-law!" Lu Chao nodded.

"Don't call me 'Senior Sister-in-Law' anymore, you can call me 'Senior Sister'..."

Ye Cuihua shook her head repeatedly, her face displaying a complex expression that stirred Lu Chao's heart.

"Is this Ye Cuihua about to awaken? Niu Daren, oh no, what did the Spirit Fruit say before? Her real name is Ye Linglong?"

Ye Cuihua remained silent and stood quietly, while the exquisite flying boat, like a real spaceship, began to take off rapidly.

Lu Chaoding then watched as if he were watching a cutscene, seeing the small mountain below shatter, disintegrate, and finally explode with a loud bang.

"What a pity! So many Earth-Blessing Plants went uncaptured; they were sacrificed in vain!"

Lu Chao sighed, and then his vision went black and then bright, and he left the Universe Secret Realm and appeared above the Forbidden Area of ​​the Canyon.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully escaping the Mysterious Realm of the Universe!"

"Ding, mission incomplete. You failed to incite hatred between Niu Daren and Ye Cuihua!"

"Ding! The Universe Secret Realm has collapsed and dissipated!"

"Ding, system notification: The main storyline is progressing. Senior Brother Niu Daren has successfully changed his class to Spirit Fruit. At the same time, the anomaly on Tianxing Island has attracted the attention of various forces. Ships from various forces, including the Giant Sword Sect, Golden Sword Sect, Divine Sword Sect, and Holy Sword Sect, are expected to arrive at Tianxing Island in 120 minutes."

"Ding, system notification: Main storyline progresses, Tianxing Island transforms into an open combat space, all dungeons are closed, all monsters are hidden..."

As the system notification sounded, dark clouds quickly filled the sky, and thunder and lightning suddenly surged and roared. In just a moment, everything that Lu Chao could see looked like the end of the world.

"This is……"

Ye Cuihua's expression changed drastically. She stared into the void, exclaiming in shock, "This is the Great Freedom Sky-Patrolling Demon Sword! Could it be that my great-grandfather escaped?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chaoding received a system notification: "Ding, the branch plot has progressed. Ye Cuihua will go to find Ye Longxing."

Upon hearing the system notification, Lu Chaoding thought to himself, "As expected, Ye Cuihua is going to meet her relatives."

But what if I'm on the Linglong Flying Boat and she takes me there to meet Ye Longxing? Will Ye Longxing kill me as soon as we meet? Or can I take this opportunity to turn the tables and form an alliance with the big boss, Ye Longxing?

Just as Lu Chao was pondering what to do, Ye Cuihua swayed and transformed into a tall, elegant, and beautiful woman in a plain white dress. She was no longer a burly man.

"My real name is actually Ye Linglong!" After the transformation, Ye Linglong became much more beautiful, but her eyes also had a coldness that seemed untouched by worldly affairs. "Junior Brother Lu Chaoding, I need to go to see my great-grandfather. His temperament is unpredictable, and it might be inconvenient to bring you along. Let's part ways here first."

"What's wrong? Are you trying to dump me?"

Lu Chaoding was now even more suspicious that Ye Linglong had awakened and that she must have her own ideas. However, he had no evidence. After thinking for a moment, he said, "But Senior Brother... oh no, Spirit Fruit said that he hopes I can take you out of Tianxing Island."

"A spirit fruit..." Ye Linglong flicked her sleeve. "Then please thank him for me, but my affairs don't need a spirit fruit to concern me. Junior Brother Lu Chaoding, you can disembark here!"

After saying that, Ye Linglong pointed her finger, and Lu Chaoding was ejected from the Linglong Flying Boat by an invisible force. He could only watch helplessly as the Linglong Flying Boat flew rapidly towards the mountain. The Chaos Sword Spirit followed Lu Chaoding, but its light seemed to have dimmed considerably.

"This Ye Linglong is definitely not normal!"

Lu Chao landed in front of the stone gate of the forbidden area and couldn't help but frown.

Previously, Niu Daren's awakening changed the plot of Tianxing Island. Now, if Ye Linglong also awakens and meets Ye Longxing, who knows how the plot of Tianxing Island will change again.

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out from behind Lu Chaoding: "Hey, Lu Chaoding, your sword spirit is about to die!"

"Um?"

Lu Chaoding felt the voice was familiar, and when he turned around, he saw that it was Niu Daren speaking!

This "Niu Daren" had his hands tucked into his sleeves, looking like a street thug. At that moment, the stone gate to the forbidden area opened a crack, and he stood in that crack and spoke.

It's obvious that he is the awakened Niu Daren.

"Senior Brother, Niu Daren, you really were hiding in the forbidden stone chamber!"

Lu Chao chuckled. If we follow Jinx's explanation in the Mech King universe, then after an NPC awakens, they become an AI player with independent personality settings and behavioral logic. So, this Niu Daren in front of him must be a rather unconventional person.

"You've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not Niu Daren, I'm Ren Da Niu. I have no relation to Niu Daren, we just look alike."

"Ren Da Niu" shook his head and said, "You killed the Grand Elder? That was too reckless! What if that old devil comes looking for us? Sigh, we can't stay hidden here any longer. Lu Chaoding, I see you're quite strong, could you take me to the seaside? I need to get on a boat and escape quickly!"

Lu Chao retorted, "Don't rush to run away, Brother Da Niu. What did you just say? That the sword spirit is going to die?"

"Um!"

Ren Daniu pointed to the Chaos Sword Spirit that had been following Lu Chaoding and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the sword spirit that the Grand Elder, who cultivated the Chaos Sword Body, forged with his own life force. A sword spirit without anything to rely on is like a wandering soul detached from its body, so it naturally won't live long and will soon perish."

"How can we save it?"

"It's simple. Just find something for it to rely on, like a sword! But this sword spirit isn't pure. You'd better think carefully before trying to save it, lest you make things worse and ruin your sword."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chaoding was immediately struck by a realization: "I understand!"

He immediately released the Great Xuan Ship and said to the Chaos Sword Spirit, "Sword Spirit who has feelings for me, I'll give you a chance to live because you gave me Niu Daren. This is my Great Xuan Ship. If you're willing, possess it. You won't be alone; several ship spirits will become your good friends!"

The Chaos Sword Spirit seemed to understand Lu Chaoding's words, circled the Great Xuan Ship twice, and then slowly flew into it.

"Ding! Your Great Xuan Ship has acquired a Sword Spirit!"

"Ding! Influenced by the sword spirit, your Great Xuan Ship and its onboard weapons have gained combat growth characteristics."

After the system notification sounded, a sword spirit resembling a boy in a bib slowly emerged from the bow of the Great Xuan Ship. He stood with his hands on his hips and shouted, "Minions, come and pay your respects to your Great King!"

Five silly-looking little pigs popped up, some rubbing their eyes, some yawning, some scratching their bottoms...

The little sword spirit raised an eyebrow and shouted, "Watch your step! I am the Sword Spirit King, and you all have to listen to me from now on!"

The five little pigs just did what they were supposed to do; they were just slow to react.

Lu Daxuan suddenly appeared and said, "Where did you come from, you wild brat? What are you doing on my ship?"

The boy in the bib said, "Your ship is my sword! Let me introduce myself, I am the Sword Spirit King!"

Do you have a name?

"No? Do you have any?"

"Yes, my name is Lu Daxuan! Daxuan from the Daxuan warship, I am the ship spirit of the Daxuan warship!"

"Then I..." the sword spirit boy blinked, "I'll also be called Lu Daxuan, the Daxuan of the Daxuan Sword! I'm the sword spirit of the Daxuan Sword!"

How dare you use my name?

"Use it!"

"Change your name!"

"No, you can change it if you want!"

"You're being unreasonable!"

"It's unreasonable that you're allowed to be called Lu Daxuan, but I'm not!"

Seeing that the two children's conversation was amusing, Lu Chaoding said, "Alright, stop arguing. You'll be partners from now on, so get along well!"
