Chapter 239 Immortal of Flowing Clouds
Chapter 239 Immortal Liuyun
The enormous explosion from the mountaintop echoed throughout the entire Chenyu Valley, startling villagers within a radius of several kilometers who looked around in alarm.
"Alright, you two can get up now." Qiuhe's voice came from nearby, where the two people who had been hiding and covering their ears in fright from the explosion crouched on the ground.
He slowly opened his eyes and found that the surroundings had returned to peace, but the walls and stone pillars that were relatively close had all been destroyed and collapsed by the sound waves generated by that energy.
Those further away were neatly sliced into three pieces by the sharp beam of light but did not fall. Seeing this, Navia happily stood up and ran towards Qiuhe.
"Wow! Brother Leyi is amazing! He opened that iron gate in one go!" Qiuhe didn't reply but looked down at the Dragon's Roar in his hand.
Then Qiuhe was surprised to find that the Dragon's Roar sword in the box was completely unharmed; the blade still emitted its sharp, cold light, as sharp as a hair being cut, and there wasn't a single scratch on the edge.
Just as Akikawa curiously pinched the blade with his hand, suddenly, one corner of the blade was easily pinched off like a very thin biscuit.
Finally, following the notch where it had been pinched, the entire sword began to shatter, and the cracks spread throughout the blade until, finally, the Dragon's Roar within the sheath turned into a pile of iron filings.
Akikawa remained silent for a few seconds, then smiled slightly. "Even with its body weathered, it still managed to unleash a second strike. Truly a fine sword."
Qiuhe sighed softly, "Brother Leyi, what are you saying?" Navia's innocent, curious voice came through, "Ah, nothing, the door's open too."
"Let's go in and see the treasure." Qiuhe said, extending his hand to Clorind. Clorind understood and handed the Iron Peak Dagger to Qiuhe.
As soon as the three stepped into the cave, the massive core above the giant machine leaning against the wall began to glow, and the mechanisms on its body started to activate.
Seeing this, Qiuhe slowly approached the relic's heavy machine gun. "You two wait here. Once I've dealt with this guy, the treasure will be yours."
As soon as Qiuhe finished speaking, blackish-purple energy beads began to gradually appear on the blade of the Iron Edge Thorn. As more and more energy beads appeared...
Finally, it was all absorbed into the Iron Peak Thorn, and then the blade instantly turned pitch black, like a black hole in the night sky.
Just as the relic heavy machine stood up, a dark purple light flashed past, leaving a deep, dark energy afterimage on its body.
As the afterimage flickered with starlight, it instantly expanded into an entrance to a void, completely devouring the relic's heavy machine.
As the target disappeared, the entrance to the void gradually shrank until it closed completely. And the iron-edged dagger that Qiuhe held in his hand...
The sword blade had long since vanished, and viscous, black molten iron was still slowly dripping from the hilt onto the ground. Meanwhile, the seal on the ornate treasure chest on the stone platform...
It also vanished completely as the ruins were destroyed by the heavy blow. Seeing this, Navia happily ran forward, "Brother Leyi, Brother Leyi!"
"Look! Look! The seal on the treasure chest has been broken!" Navia excitedly opened the chest, and the golden light shone brightly on her lovely face.
But upon seeing the contents of the treasure chest, Navia's smile slowly faded, replaced by a look of confusion. "Brother Leyi,"
"Why is there only Mora and a sword in this treasure chest?" Seeing Navia's innocent little expression, Qiuhe smiled gently.
"Because this is a treasure trove, and inside a treasure trove, of course, there's only shiny Mora." Navia pouted, a little disappointed.
"What? I thought there would be lots of amazing things in this treasure trove, but all I found were a bunch of ordinary Mora." Qiuhe said upon hearing this.
It's impossible not to think that the minds of the rich and ordinary people are truly different. After putting away the Mora from the treasure chest, Qiuhe also handed the Tigerfish Sword to Klorind.
"Clorind, are you comfortable using this sword?" Clorind took it and nodded. "It's fine, all swords are the same to me."
After looting everything useful from the scene, the three headed outside. "Hey, wait a minute," Navia called out to them.
He then took out his camera and snapped a picture of the cave. "Hehe, even though there aren't any really interesting treasures, at least I had to get a photo!"
After Navia put the photos away, the three of them headed down the mountain. Along the way, Navia kept a record of all the strange creatures they encountered.
Navia ran happily ahead, looking around with wonder at everything, waving occasionally to the two behind her.
Enjoying the fun of camping, Qiuhe felt very comfortable. "Ah~. It's rare to be out and about, and I feel so happy!"
"If only we could bring Clementine and the others along." Hearing Akikawa's words, Claurind asked curiously.
"You guys aren't allowed to go out normally?" Qiuhe smiled upon hearing this. "Yes, things are quite strict at home. The children aren't allowed to leave Fontaine territory without a valid reason."
"Is that so? Your family rules are quite strict, aren't they? I wonder if they're like your master's?" Qiuhe smiled awkwardly to himself upon hearing this.
If the House of Hearths were that strict, they'd probably have eliminated several hundred soldiers. "Brother Leyi, Clorind..."
"You guys are walking way too slowly! Hurry up and catch up!" Navia shouted cheerfully from ahead. Seeing this, the other two followed. "Navia, slow down!"
The mountain paths are uneven, so be careful not to slip and fall. As the long mountain journey continued, the sun gradually began to set.
The golden sunset cast long shadows of the group as they walked. Finally, the three of them pitched their tent again at the foot of the mountain. Qiuhe went to the nearby river and caught many fish.
After the group lit a campfire and enjoyed some grilled fish with laughter, they spent another night in their tents. The next day at noon...
The three of them climbed the steep slope to reach the summit of Mount Okuzō. Originally, Akikawa's plan was to quickly descend the mountain and head to the Wangshu Inn.
He settled the two of them there so he could go and carry out what he had come to Liyue to do, but in the end, after Navia's persistent pleading and cajoling...
As expected, Akikawa was defeated once again, while Navia, ever since arriving at Mount Ozo, had been overjoyed by the surrounding mountain scenery.
"Wow! Hahahaha. Brother Leyi, Clarinde, this place is so beautiful! Hahahaha." Seeing Navia still so energetic...
Qiuhe was speechless. The mountain was so high, steep, and difficult to climb. Qiuhe was already exhausted after just climbing up and sat on the ground, panting heavily, his head covered in sweat.
As it turned out, Clorind was completely unfazed, and Navia was even able to laugh. It seemed like this was just an innate, wild, and carefree spirit.
"Who dares to make such a racket here, disturbing my peace? This is utterly unreasonable!" Suddenly, a deep, melodious female voice echoed through the mountains.
Upon hearing this sound, Qiuhe, whose eyes had been tightly shut from exhaustion, suddenly opened them and looked around. He then saw a crane with a blue-green body.
With a whoosh of its wings, it slowly landed on a nearby mountain peak and watched over Qiuhe and the other two. Upon seeing this, Qiuhe confirmed that he hadn't misheard.
"The True Lord of Flowing Clouds and Borrowed Wind? How could she...? Uh, no. This is Mount Aozang, it's her home." Akikawa thought to herself.
Seeing that there were only three children before him, True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng sighed with some annoyance. "This immortal lives in seclusion on this mountain..."
"I only seek a tranquil place untouched by worldly dust. And who are you children, making such a racket and disturbing my peace..." The words of the True Lord of Flowing Clouds and Borrowing Wind were not yet finished.
Navia's face was already beaming with joy at seeing the giant, talking bird. "Wow! Brother Leyi, look! What a huge bird! And it can talk!!"
Hearing Navia's cheerful shout, Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun, already somewhat irritated from being silenced, was further annoyed by the "big bird" comment.
He was so angry that he shouted, "How dare you! I have a name and surname, I am called True Lord of Flowing Clouds and Borrowing Wind, one of the immortals in this mountain. How can you be called a big bird?"
"A mere mortal's child. Utterly unreasonable!" Seeing this, Qiuhe quickly ran forward, covering Navia's mouth with his hand. After a few seconds of silence, he pondered for a moment.
She immediately adopted a look as if she had suffered a great injustice. "Yes, I'm sorry. We... we got separated from our parents. My younger sister was young and ignorant..."
There was no offense intended. Please forgive me, Immortal.
