Chapter 481 Lu Mingfei’s Promise

The war is over, and the gloom that has enveloped the Sword Warriors clan has also dissipated. Only the wounds left by the war have just begun to hurt. The surviving members of the Sword Warrior clan have no time to rest, so they have to be busy cleaning the battlefield and collecting the corpses of their loved ones.

Elder Stone House.

"Is this the divine body we have worshiped for generations?"

Jian Shihua was still wearing armor and a veil, with tired eyes and many bandages on his body.

The clansmen were collecting the corpses of their relatives, but Jian Shihua, who had now taken over as the elder, had to brace himself and get involved in the matters to be dealt with after the war.

"Sister, don't worry, leave it to Alian."

Jian Shilian's little face showed a stubbornness that was inconsistent with her age.

"Alian will definitely take good care of grandma."

Jian Shihua endured the pain in his heart, they didn't have much time.

This was the judgment given by Lu Mingfei and three others at the same time.

Lu Mingfei's taking away the demon sword Muramasa alerted the alchemy matrix of the shrine, and someone in this world should have gotten the news.

Mai Shutoku received a message that a mysterious force was quietly heading to Izumo Country.

Kazama Liuli’s judgment is the most certain.

"He's coming."

As for who the "he" in Fengjian Liuli's mouth was, he remained silent.

Therefore, as the elder of the Jianshi clan, Jianshihua must shoulder the responsibilities on his shoulders.

It can be seen from the previous incident of letting Jian Shilian go that Jian Shihua is a strong and responsible woman who is not inferior to men. As a sister, Jian Shihua tried to find a way to let Jian Shilian go and let her sister survive. As Jian Shihua As a member of the Shi clan, Jian Shihua did not escape together, but stayed and became a sacrifice in place of Jian Shilian.

Jian Shihua's behavior explained both his sister's identity and his identity as a Jian Shihua clan member.

The only one who sacrificed was herself.

It's the same today.

Since she is an elder, Jian Shihua must be responsible for her people. This is her requirement for herself.

"Unfortunately."

Lu Mingfei pushed Yaodao Muramasa towards Jian Shihua.

"Your divine body seems to have been stolen."

The eyes of the four people in the stone room focused on the knife at the same time.

After seeing the knife, Jian Shihua's eyes showed the original look, and at the same time she breathed a sigh of relief, as if she was relieved.

Mai Shutoku and Ruri Kazama were still looking at the knife.

They naturally noticed the "Muramasa" inscription on the blade.

The two of them were deep in thought.

"Although it's a bit unnecessary, but sure enough, I still want to make sure."

Fengjian Liuli asked the sword to serve Hua.

"Can you tell that this sword is not the Tian Congyun Sword?"

"Yes."

"What's the basis?"

"I am an elder of the Sword Attendant clan. My bloodline can react with the divine body, but."

Jian Shihua glanced at the dark demon sword again, pondered for a moment, and shook his head.

"Sure enough, it still doesn't work."

"I see."

Kazama Liuli nodded thoughtfully.

Mai Shutoku, who had been observing Kazama Ruri carefully, spoke up.

"Kid."

"Looking at you like this, did you find something?"

"Um."

Mai Shutoku raised her eyebrows unexpectedly.

Kazama Liuli actually admitted it and did so readily, which caught her off guard.

However, since they all admitted it, Mai Shutoku was not polite and immediately asked.

"Talk about it."

"What did you think of?"

Lu Mingfei and Jian Shihua sat aside.

Lu Mingfei glanced at Jian Shihua, who was wearing armor.

"Can you understand?"

he asked quietly.

"Um."

Jian Shihua responded softly, lowering his head and avoiding Lu Mingfei's gaze.

"My grandma taught me when I was little."

Lu Mingfei nodded.

The Jianshi clan generally uses ancient language, which is very different from the outside world. The only two exceptions are the late elder and Jianshihua.

Facing Shutoku Mai's questioning, Kazama Ruri was neither angry nor annoyed, smiling like a nobleman.

"Do you still remember the outsider who visited the Sword Servant clan decades ago?"

"Ever since his visit, the Sword Attendant clan has been cursed, and the demon lair has been around since then."

"The elders guess that there is something wrong with the Divine Tiancongyun Sword."

"But now it seems that it is not that there is something wrong with the Tiancongyun Sword, but that the Tiancongyun Sword has simply been replaced by someone else."

"The shrine where the Sword Attendant clan enshrines the Tian Congyun Sword is actually a demon sword."

"This is the root of all curses."

This statement was agreed by the other three.

It's just that Jian Shihua still has some doubts.

"It's strange. If it's as His Highness said, the demon sword instead of the divine body has been enshrined on the shrine since then, why didn't grandma and I, who are of the elder lineage, notice it."

"wrong."

Kazama Ruri reminded her.

"Please think about it, are you really unaware?"

"You should have discovered the clues very early."

After his reminder, Jian Shihua quickly reacted.

"Yes."

"No wonder the divine body has not responded."

Jian Shihua muttered to himself.

Then explain it to a few people.

"People of our lineage can not only sense the existence of the divine body, but also listen to the will of the divine body."

"But decades ago, both my grandmother and my mother could only vaguely sense the existence of the divine body, but could no longer listen to its will."

"At that time, my grandma was already cursed and my mother's bloodline was weak. We just thought it was our problem."

"Who would have thought that the truth would be..."

Speaking of this, Jian Shihua shook her head and said nothing. Her unfinished words were very clear. Who would have thought that the truth was that the divine body of their Jianshi clan had actually been swapped.

"Are you saying that you can sense the existence of Tiancong Yunjian?"

Lu Mingfei thought for a while.

"I found a pattern similar to an alchemical matrix on the shrine. After taking away Muramasa, the matrix collapsed. I think you can sense the Tian Cong Yun Sword, which may be related to this matrix."

Fengjian Liuli asked the sword to serve Hua.

"That outsider, do you have a portrait of him?"

"Or has anyone seen him?"

Jian Shihua thought for a moment and shook her head.

"I'm sorry, everyone who has seen the outsider is dead."

Lu Mingfei and the other three were surprised.

"They're all dead!"

How could there be such a coincidence?

Jian Shihua spoke quietly.

"The tribesmen who first began to show symptoms of the curse had all had contact with outsiders, and they have died one after another over the years."

"No one left?"

"not a single one."

Jian Shihua lowered his head and remained silent for a moment.

"Grandma was the last person who had anything to do with outsiders. She died on the battlefield last night."

Fengjian Liuli pursed her lips and sat upright.

"I'm so sorry."

His actions startled Jian Shihua, and he quickly returned the favor. "Your Highness is serious. Life and death are determined by fate, it doesn't matter. And in the end, he can die for his people. I believe this is grandma's wish."

"alright."

Lu Mingfei spoke out to stop the two people who were saluting each other.

He rubbed Kazama Ruri's head hard twice.

"Be careful when you talk to me next time."

Kazama Ruri smiled and nodded.

The corners of Jian Shihua's mouth under the veil also evoked a smile.

"Speak of it."

Lu Mingfei asked her.

"You are so sure. Have you investigated it before?"

"Um."

Jian Shihua said.

"After the curse came, Grandma organized the tribe to conduct an investigation. Soon they discovered that all tribesmen who had relations with outsiders were cursed, including Grandma herself."

"This is also why the clansmen had that attitude towards you, sir, in the beginning."

Lu Mingfei remembered that when he first arrived at the Sword Warriors clan two days ago, the clansmen here looked at outsiders like them angrily, and would quickly avoid them when they encountered them on the road, as if they were some kind of plague god.

It turns out the problem is here.

"Where's the portrait?"

"Or the outsider's belongings."

Kazama Liuli asked.

"Did you leave anything behind?"

Jian Shihua still shook his head.

"Nothing is left."

"Because outsiders are a taboo in the clan, everything related to them has been destroyed."

"That's it."

Kazama Liuli looked a little disappointed.

"Kid."

Mai Shutoku stared at him.

"It seems like you know this person's identity."

Jian Shihua raised her head slightly. She was also very concerned about this question, but she didn't ask out of respect for the emperor's blood.

"A bit of speculation."

Kazama Liuli said.

"But please allow me to keep this person's identity secret."

"cut!"

Mai Shutoku looked very unhappy.

Jian Shihua smiled lightly.

She took one last deep look at Demon Sword Muramasa.

It was this sword that caused the Sword Attendant clan to suffer for many years.

Her relatives also died under the influence of this knife.

Jian Shihua held up the demon sword Muramasa with both hands and handed it back to Lu Mingfei.

"Um……"

Lu Mingfei said strangely.

"Now that I gave it to you, you can do with it whatever you want."

"Whether you keep it or destroy it, it all depends on your heart."

"That's right."

Jian Shihua pursed his lips and smiled.

"Since it's all based on your heart, I hope you can accept it."

"Although it's not as good as the divine body, this sword is still a pretty good weapon."

"It would be a pity to destroy it directly."

"It would be great if I could help you."

"Have you thought about it?"

Lu Mingfei looked seriously into Jian Shihua's eyes.

"You should know that a large part of the reason why the Sword Warrior clan is where they are today is because of this sword."

"The characteristics of the demon sword contaminate the divinity of the Tiancongyun sword, and then the curse will be cast."

"Perhaps you can use this knife to pay homage to the dead clan members."

Jian Shihua remained silent for a long time.

The girl under the veil twitched her lips.

"Sir, if you want to pay tribute, no need."

"We all know that a knife is just a knife, just a tool. The culprit is someone else. How can you blame all the blame on the tool? This is too irresponsible."

Jian Shihua whispered.

"If possible, I would rather use the outsider's death to pay homage to the clan members underground."

Her tone was very calm, but underneath this calm tone was full of frightening murderous intent.

"Decades."

Fengjian Liuli spoke quietly.

"What if the outsider is already dead?"

"Then use the blood of his descendants as a memorial."

Jian Shihua did not hesitate.

"What an impressive amount of determination."

Kazama Ruri sighed.

Somehow, he broke the casserole and asked the question to the end, and continued to speak.

"But what if you are not his opponent?"

"A character like this who was able to disrupt the Sword Attendant clan and take away the Tian Congyun Sword decades ago, if he were alive to this day, are you really confident that you would be his opponent?"

"Although I'm ashamed, I have to admit it."

Jian Shihua shook his head calmly.

"I have no confidence."

Mai Shutoku gave Kazama Ruri a warning look, and Lu Mingfei was also surprised. Although he didn't have much contact with Kazama Ruri, Kazama Ruri gave people a very deep impression of being good at speaking and listening, but What's wrong with this kid today? He always says inappropriate things.

From the look of Fengjian Liuli, it seemed that she didn't realize what kind of harm her words would cause to Jian Shihua, and she didn't mean to make up for and comfort Jian Shihua. However, Jian Shihua was far stronger than imagined, and she also No need for comfort.

Indeed, if Kazama Ruri's hypothesis comes true, the outsiders from decades ago who lived to this day were able to stir up chaos in the sword servant clan. Now how strong will the opponent who has obtained the Tiancong Yun Sword be?

If Jian Shihua said that he could do it, he would be trying to be brave. On the contrary, it would take more courage to admit that he has no confidence now.

"so."

Jian Shihua raised his head and looked at Lu Mingfei.

"I hope your lord can accept this knife."

"If possible, one day in the future, you can kill him with this knife."

Sword Master Hua knelt on his knees and raised the demon sword Muramasa over his head.

"Everyone in our Sword Attendant clan will remember your kindness and will never forget it."

Mai Shutoku and Ruri Kazama looked at each other, feeling strange.

They saw that Lu Mingfei was sitting upright. He didn't help Jian Shihua or step aside. He actually accepted the kneeling calmly.

This is so strange.

Doesn’t their Young Master Lu and their Brother Lu hate it the most when others kneel down at every turn?

Indeed, Lu Mingfei hates others kneeling down to him the most in his life. He believes that as a human being, one should respect and love himself. He always kneels down to others. If you look down on yourself and don't take yourself seriously, don't imagine that others can think highly of you.

But this is different now.

Lu Mingfei and Jian Shihua looked at each other.

He saw a determined light in the girl's eyes.

Lu Mingfei laughed.

"Is this your commission?"

"very good."

Lu Mingfei picked up the demon sword Muramasa held by Jian Shihua with both hands.

It is as solemn as a new emperor receiving a coronation crown.

Mai Shutoku and Ruri Kazama watched intently.

At the same time, Mai Shutoku stabbed Kazama Ruri with her elbow without leaving any trace.

"Did you see that the young master is shining?"

"As expected of Brother Lu."

Kazama Liuli nodded with emotion.

"Perhaps this is the so-called responsibility of a man."

Mai Shutoku pouted.

"Haha, I can't tell that you, a brat, know how to be a man."

Kazama Liuli smiled faintly.

"Of course, I also want to see whether Ultraman grows up well."

Mai Shutoku was shocked.

"Oh...Ultraman!"

Lu Mingfei glanced this way.

Do these two really think I can't hear them?

Silently making a note in his mind, Lu Mingfei was not a soldier and had no time to compete with these two servants.

He took the demon sword Muramasa from Jian Shihua.

Lu Mingfei smiled.

"I agreed."

Jian Shihua bowed deeply.

"Thank you, sir!"

Kazama Ruri was very interested.

His eyes fell on the demon sword Muramasa in Lu Mingfei's hand.

Is blood debt repaid with blood?

As for that guy, well, if it were you, Brother Lu, you might actually be able to do it.

I really want to see what your expression will be like when you are killed by the demon knife you left behind.

Fengjian Liuli chuckled and slowly read the person's name in her heart.
