I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

Chapter 3874: Chapter 1862: Open Cards_2

Seeing it, feeling it, yet left only with the powerlessness afterward, is even more frightening.

No wonder Xu Xiaoshou fears no one but the scheming of Dao Qiongcang... Yu Zhiwen quickly composed her mind, leaning further towards Yue Gongnu’s side.

This one might still not withstand Dao Qiongcang, yet among the few in this age that can slightly restrain him.

And the rest is to wait for Xu Xiaoshou’s return!

Dao Qiongcang, like a ferocious beast, takes advantage of every gap, entering wherever there’s a flaw, only Xu Xiaoshou, meticulous as he is, can counter move by move, defending each one!

"Three families are betting, which three?"

Beside her, Li Fuyu couldn’t help but ask with curiosity.

In the same situation, she too was involved, yet what she felt over the past half year was far less than what Yue Gongnu said.

Indeed, though the ancient swordsman seldom used his brain, such a contrast makes it feel like ninety-nine percent of people, including herself, were made into fools?

Yue Gongnu tilted her head: "Various ancestors have their plots. First is the Demon, Second is the Medicine Ancestor, next the Cursed Yin. In the end, Bazhun’an, Xu Xiaoshou, and Dao Qiongcang neither offend nor it can be said they three cooperate to some extent."

This indeed was puzzling, as Li Fuyu listened in confusion.

Dao Qiongcang colluding with Cursed Yin could be seen from the fall of Lord Cang Sheng, half a year ago.

Dao Qiongcang collaborates with Xu Xiaoshou, they mutually use each other, working..., together..., supporting one another, Li Fuyu also knew.

"He is also colluding with the Demon and Medicine Ancestors?" Li Fuyu frowned, left pondering on this issue.

In this situation, the mountains were full of mist.

Yu Zhiwen also couldn’t see any traces of Dao and Demon collusions, only waiting for big sister Yue’s explanation.

Yue Gongnu sighed softly, looking at Li Fuyu: "The collusion between Dao and Demon focuses on you."

Me?

Li Fuyu’s beautiful eyes widened slightly.

Yu Zhiwen too was somewhat incredulous.

Half a year together practicing swordplay with Li Fuyu, she found no trace of "collusion"!

Without waiting for doubts, Yue Gongnu’s gaze fell on the pure white, flawless three-foot sword at Li Fuyu’s waist:

"This is one of the twelve swords of the sword tower, Hu, right?"

Is it related to this sword?

Yu Zhiwen’s spiritual senses also focused on the sword.

But on Hu, there wasn’t any trace of the Divine Secret, nor any hint of the Demon Ancestor’s strength, how could it be tainted?

"Yes..."

Li Fuyu hesitated and nodded, a chill in her heart.

Though she still didn’t understand Yue Gongnu’s intention, she vaguely realized the previous ominous premonition originated from.

Not just the sword tower!

But also related to Dao Qiongcang!

"The sword tower indeed protects..."

Hearing affirmation restored, Yue Gongnu’s heart sank.

Though she remained hidden for thirty years, ignoring minor matters of the five great Holy Emperor’s secret realms and the five regions of the continent.

Yet Arli respectfully reported major events, or overheard discussions among the Tingyu Pavilion maids, she knew much.

Moreover, as the Holy Emperor’s successor, she preemptively learned related secrets of the Ancestral God, now her words struck home, piercing through the mist:

"The sword tower, as I recall, locks the Demon Ancestor’s Spirit, right?"

Li Fuyu heard this, abruptly raised her head, her mind like lightning in clear skies, broke through the chaos of memory, peering into a mysterious corner.

Yue Gongnu, too, was merely speculating, but seeing this, knew it was mostly correct, sighing once more:

"The twelve swords of the sword tower act as seals, the tower as a vessel locking spirits, eternally exiled in the river of time."

"This was the last struggle before the God of Sword, Gu Louying, fell into reincarnation, how could this Hu be easily taken from the sword tower by you?"

Li Fuyu’s face turned pale at once, a figure emerged in her mind, she silently murmured: "My Supreme Master..."

Another Supreme Master?

Then it seems, Li Fuyu too was unwittingly caught in the scheme, the key issue lies with her Supreme Master.

"Your Master..."

"My Supreme Master died peacefully in his sleep, thirteen years ago."

Li Fuyu already knowing the woman before her held a high vantage point, with true insight, perhaps could break through the situation, dared not to conceal much: "The sword tower bore no great anomalies, my Supreme Master in his lifetime had no anomalies, before passing, following old traditions, the sword’s mystery was opened, leaving a prophecy: when the time comes, I must take Hu out of the tower, find the one who could break the situation..."

Pausing, she then turned to Yu Zhiwen: "Which is Xu Xiaoshou."

Yu Zhiwen’s red lips moved slightly, softly murmuring: "If there were no anomalies, why would there need someone to break the situation?"

Li Fuyu’s tender body trembled.

This point, she had never considered!

After leaving the sword tower, she sought Xu Xiaoshou out, followed him into Jade Capital City, for over half a year now, Xu Xiaoshou hasn’t yet gone to the sword tower with her — does he appear very busy?

No!

Li Fuyu grew alerted: "Was Xu Xiaoshou being guided?"

Yue Gongnu’s beautiful eyes moistened, staring at Li Fuyu, as if recognizing something, finally shook her head lightly:

"Though I’ve not emerged for many years, I know who in front of the Cursed Yin can also retreat in entirety from the Divine Relics — Xu Xiaoshou, is certainly not guided by the Demon Ancestor."

"And if you didn’t do it consciously, the only answer remaining, being guided indirectly and with memory confusion, is you."

Me?

Am I the main culprit?

Li Fuyu became anxious feeling slandered, panic swirled in her eyes between Yu Zhiwen and Yue Gongnu, wanting to explain but didn’t know how.

Words caught in her throat, anxiety pierced her heart as though a mute tasting bitterness couldn’t speak.

"Sister Li wouldn’t do that!"

Yu Zhiwen declared, firmly believing Li Fuyu wasn’t a bad person.

Yet the "indirect guidance," "memory confusion" mentioned in Yue Gongnu’s words, what’s the meaning behind it?

Yue Gongnu remained silent, taking Li Fuyu’s hand.

Li Fuyu instinctively resisted, yet didn’t withdraw ultimately, allowing the opposing woman’s Holy Power to flow into her body, exploring unrestrained.

Yue Gongnu released her hand: "You have been to Jade Capital City."
