Limitless Sword God Chapter 394

Forbidden Ground Sculpture
Xiao Cui quickly went to pour some good tea while the two sat down and the servants guarded the door.
Su Yun sipped on the tea, his eyes looking straight at Huai Rou Mu Yu and saw that she was calmly looking back at him.
Without question, Huai Rou Mu Yu was an absolute beauty. She had a long oval face and pitch black hair contrasting with her snow white skin. Her facial features were refined, moreover, she had a unique temperament. Long Xian Li’s beauty could compare to her, but in terms of temperament, even Long Xian Li was lacking by quite a bit.
“I believe that Miss Mu Yu has heard from the rest, I went out to train a few days ago and wanted to return yesterday, but unfortunately, I met some powerful spirit beasts and suffered severely under its powerful attacks, almost losing my life. With the help of some pills and medicine, I was able to preserve my body, but my spirit, soul and all of my Spirit Essences are severely injured and are hard to recover, so currently, I am only at the fifth stage of the Spirit Star Realm.”
Su Yun recited the speech that was long prepared.
“How can you be so unfortunate?”
“Miss Mu Yu, for you to personally come and visit, I am extremely grateful, but currently, I, Nan Gong Qing am but a crippled man, my cultivation is incapable of matching with Miss Mu Yu. You who are favoured by the heavens, although we have the marriage contract between us, I am no longer qualified to be Miss Mu Yu’s dual cultivation companion, if Miss Mu Yu wants to rescind the engagement, I will not refuse.”
Su Yun took the chance and went for the kill, jumping straight into the main topic.
~No wonder Nan Gong Qing wanted to look for a fifth stage Spirit Star Realm cultivator. Although such a cultivation is equivalent to an immortal in the Sky Martial Continent, but in here, it is something that people look down on.~
“Rescind the engagement?”
Huai Rou Mu Yu maintained a calm expression and gently shook her head: “Although your cultivation is not strong, with the wealth of both families and with your talent, recovering to your normal state is not difficult, this engagement was set between your father and my grandfather, I am afraid that if we were to rescind the engagement, it will affect the relation between the two families.”
“Miss Mu Yu is willing to marry me?”
“Mu Yu is not the kind of person that attaches importance to strength only.” Huai Rou Mu Yu revealed a look of focus.
Su Yun felt a headache.
~If only Huai Rou Mu Yu is as power hungry as Bai Yan Shan, this would be so much easier.~
He took a deep breath and said helplessly: “We still don’t know much about each other, let us talk more about this matters in the future.”
~The Nan Gong Family does not have the authority to break the promise of marriage, and that can only be achieved if Huai Rou Mu Yu were to say it, but from the looks of it, I can only take one step at a time. Although Nan Gong Qing said that failure will still be compensated with 100 thousand cultivation coins, to take the money just to avoid a calamity and not give it my all, the money will be filled with guilt.~
Huai Rou Mu Yu looked gently at Su Yun but did not say anything, and just sat there uprightly.
Seeing that the atmosphere was cold, Su Yun could not help but speak again: “Miss Mu Yu, for you to come to the Nan Gong Family today, what is your aim?”
“I only wish to look at my future husband.”
~She is rather straightforward as well.~
Su Yun secretly guessed Huai Rou Mu Yu as a person, sensing that it would not be easy handling her, he then stood up and went over to the training formation by the side and sat down cross legged to train.
“Now that you’ve seen me, Miss Mu Yu, you can leave, I would like to recover.”
His attitude was a 180 degree change, causing Huai Rou Mu Yu to be startled, but she still remained calm and composed.
She nodded her head, without much fluctuation in her expression, she stood up and half bowed towards Su Yun: “Since it is so, I hope for Young Master Qing to recover and stay safe, Mu Yu will temporarily take my leave.”
With that, she turned and left, leaving behind her sweet fragrance.
Only after leaving far away did Xiao Cui run back in anxiously and spoke softly: “Young Noble Su, Miss Mu Yu is gone.”
“I got it.”
Su Yun opened his eyes and sighed in his heart: “I never expected her to be fine with my low cultivation, she is truly magnanimous.”
“Then what do we do now?” Xiao Cui asked anxiously: “We don’t have much time, if Miss Mu Yu is not willing to rescind the engagement, then Young Master Qing will have to marry her.”
Su Yun shook his head and said: “Since Huai Rou Mu Yu doesn’t mind my low cultivation, then that leaves me with one other way, to quickly make her dislike me, maybe we still have some way out.”
“Make her dislike you? You mean make her hate you?”
“It’s almost the same meaning, Xiao Cui, during this period of time, stick with Huai Rou Mu Yu and tell me everything there is to her.”
“Ok.”
“Go out first, I am going to train.”
“Yes, I will take my leave.”
Xiao Cui slowly retreated out of the house and closed the door.
After she left, Su Yun continued in his training.
With the help of the high quality array formation beneath him, Su Yun need not worry about his exhaustion of Profound Spirit Qi. It was a pity that it could not extend over his hands and legs, if he wanted to train in his sword techniques, he had to leave the Nan Gong Residence which was extremely inconvenient.
But at the moment, what Su Yun cared about most was not sword techniques, but controlling his Spirit Qi.
The Cold Hail Sword Formation’s Frigid Aqua Spirit Qi usage, handling, Limitless Sword Arts Pure Divine Spirit Qi Control, the distribution to every sub swords, he knew of the merits and drawbacks of his methods, thus knew of how much he was relying on the Monarch Occult Force. If he wanted to be able to adeptly use the Monarch Occult Force, he definitely needed to break through to the next stage in cultivation.
The time that he had to train in the house was short, and the sky quickly turned dark. Xiao Cui returned back from Huai Rou Mu Yu’s side and reported every action and matter that Huai Rou Mu Yu took, then took a breather by leaning on the doorpost.
Not long later, anxious footsteps could be heard coming from the outside, it was a quiet night, thus the footsteps were very loud.
Xiao Cui jumped in shock, she immediately stretched her neck to look out, only to see a few men walking over angrily.
It was Nan Gong Gu and his subordinates!
They moved extremely quickly, in the blink of an eye they had arrived at the entrance of the courtyard. In a panic, Xiao Cui immediately rushed over and knelt down, she called out: “Xiao Cui greets Young Master Gu!”
“Where is your young master?” Nan Gong Gu asked coldly.
Hearing that, Xiao Cui’s heart trembled, she spoke while trembling: “Y-young M-master h-he”
“I heard that after being hurt, the trash’s strength is now only at the fifth stage of the Spirit Star Realm? Humph, what a trash, acting all arrogant and proud in the day and even dared to neglect Miss Huai Rou, he is truly despicable! Don’t think that I will forgive him just because he is injured! Make way!”
Nan Gong Gu snorted, he then pushed Xiao Cui aside and walked quickly towards the house.
“Young Master Gu! Young Master Gu!”
Xiao Cui wailed.
But she was just a frail girl, how could she stop the powerful Spirit Cultivators?
Nan Gong Gu reached the doorstep and pulled the doors open, he then shouted out: “Nan Gong Qing, come out! Nan Gong Qing, you stinking brat, come out”
But, the house remained quiet, and no other sound could be heard.
Nang Gong Gu and the rest walked in and looked around the house, but there was not even a trace of a shadow in the house.
“Where is your young master?” Nan Gong Gu shouted angrily while staring at Xiao Cui.
“Y-young master, h-he, went out” Xiao Cu shrunk and said in fear.
“Isn’t he injured?”
“A-about that, t-today, Miss Huai Rou gave him some good medication, Young Master recovered and was much better, so, so he went out”
“Despicable fellow!”
Nan Gong Gu shouted in rage.
“Young Master Gu.” Just then, someone by the side called out.
“Yea?”
Nang Gong Gu looked at him.
The man beside him walked over to the array formation in the center of the house and knelt down, he placed his finger on the array formation and said: “It is still warm here, I think he was still here not long ago”
Nan Gong Gu frowned, he then bellowed at Xiao Cui: “What is going on?”
“T-t-t-t-this servant does not know, Y-young m-master might have left not long ago” Xiao Cui’s legs were already on the brink of giving way, and she was so afraid she was almost choking.
Nan Gong Gu was too lazy to quarrel with a servant, he looked at the back door of the house, and seemingly thought of something, he waved his hands towards his subordinates and walked out.
“Young Master, could it be that Young Master Qing knows that we are coming, and went to hide in the forbidden grounds?” Someone said.
“He dares to? It is a place personally made by our Ancestors, the Patriarch had even ordered that no one can go in, if not we will be banished from the Nan Gong Family, how will Nan Gong Qing dare to barge in there?” Nan Gong Gu snorted.
“That might not be the case, since no one knows, whether or not he goes in, no one will ever find out, but Young Master, what does the forbidden grounds hold that makes it so that we cannot enter? Since young, no one knows how it even looks like.”
“Could it be that there is some treasure in the forbidden grounds?”
“Young Master, why not?”
Till this point, with the look in his eyes, his intentions were clear.
Seeing that, Nan Gong Gu’s rage and distorted face calmed down, a look of anticipation appeared in his eyes, he coughed and thought for a moment, then said: “We will go there to take a look, but it is to look for Nan Gong Qing, understand?”
“We got it, we got it!” The subordinates immediately called out.
Without talking further, Nan Gong Gu walked towards the forbidden grounds.
At the same time, Su Yun who was inside the forbidden grounds, had long used the Heavenly Scale Divine Eye and noticed the group of people, his Spirit Qi was concealed by the Qi released by the forbidden grounds so they did not notice him, but if they were to barge into the forbidden grounds, it would be terrible for him, he had nowhere to hide, and if they were to catch him, not only would Nan Gong Qing’s mission fail, he himself would be placed in danger.
Su Yun was feeling helpless.
Most likely, Nan Gong Qing and him would never have thought that Nan Gong Gu would truly barge into the forbidden grounds.
Seeing that they were closing in on him, Su Yun became anxious, the Qi was enough to cover his own Spirit Qi, but it could not conceal his body, if they got closer, they would immediately sense him.
~What do I do now?~
Su Yun was anxious.
Then, he turned and look around, and his eyes landed on the sculpture in the middle.
~Who cares, I’ll hide behind the sculpture first.~
Su Yun thought, he then leapt out and headed towards the back of the sculpture.
But just as he got close to the sculpture, the sword in the sculpture’s hands suddenly flickered, a powerful sword concept erupted and a powerful Sword Qi storm frantically surged out with the sculpture being the center.
~Not good!~
Su Yun jumped out in shock, he retreated.
However, the commotion had attracted Nan Gong Gu and the rest, they had quickened their pace and were quickly approaching.
The situation was getting more tense.
Su Yun stared at the dense Sword Qi storm and seemed to have thought about something. He clenched his teeth and immediately unleashed the Seventh Tier Imperial Equipment, and activated a great amount of True Divine Spirit Qi to envelop his body, he then rushed towards the sculpture.
