Chapter 713: Confusing

This scene stunned everyone for a moment.

Not long after, Ye Weilan gradually loosened her grip and sat down on the ground dejectedly, and the Feihong Sword also slid to the ground.

It was not because she didn't want to continue, but because she was exhausted and could no longer hold on.

Obviously, it was very laborious to manifest the totem of this giant beast. Even if it was just a short moment, even Ye Weilan's cultivation strength could hardly support it.

Lu Yu hurried over to support her and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Ye Weilan shook her head: "I'm fine, just a little tired..."

At this time, Yang Chudie also floated down from the air, picked up the Feihong Sword on the ground, and looked at it carefully. The sword returned to its previous state, as if the scene just now had never happened. Yang Chudie couldn't help but remain silent for a while.

Everyone's eyes were all focused on her.

"What on earth is going on?"

"Is that giant beast the weapon spirit of this sword? Isn't this too exaggerated?"

"I seem to feel the power of the Star-Moon Holy Emblem on that totem. It seems that this sword really swallowed the Star-Moon Holy Emblem. This is really incredible..."

"What happened just now? Has this sword successfully recognized Miss Ye as its master?"

...

Yang Chudie came back to her senses and said, "Recognized the master? I don't think so, otherwise Wei Lan wouldn't be like this now..."

"What on earth is going on?" Everyone asked hurriedly.

After all, whether it is knowledge, vision, or attainments in the way of refining weapons, she is the most outstanding among everyone.

Lu Yu also looked straight at her, hoping that she could give a definite answer.

Yang Chudie pondered for a moment and said, "Wei Lan has the blood of the True Phoenix. It is obvious that it was the power of the True Phoenix's blood that briefly awakened the sword's spirit. So, at least we guessed right just now, that is, the threshold for this sword to recognize its master is very high, and ordinary people are simply not in its eyes..."

"In addition, according to the totem manifested by the sword's spirit, the image of the giant beast is very special. I recalled all the classics I have read, but I can't find the corresponding species at all... Miss Xiaohui, do you know what species this is?"

Yang Chudie suddenly threw the question to Luo Shuhui. Obviously, she also knew from Lu Yu that Luo Shuhui loved to read a lot of books and had the ability to remember everything he saw, which was equivalent to a living encyclopedia.

Luo Shuhui was caught off guard, and after thinking carefully, she said, "I'm ashamed to say that I've never read any description that matches this beast..."

Yang Chudie nodded and continued, "Then, this gives me another bold guess. The sword spirit may not belong to this world at all. It is very likely to come from outside the Nine Heavens..."

"This also explains from the side that Wei Lan was able to make it react, because the True Phoenix did not originally belong to this world, but was a divine bird above the Nine Heavens!"

At this point, Yang Chudie suddenly looked at Lu Yu deeply.

Obviously, the topic would come to an abrupt end here. If it continued, it would bring up the secret that Lu Yu's power also came from above the Nine Heavens.

Among the people at the scene, only Yang Chudie and Ye Weilan knew this secret, and even Ye Weilan only knew a rough idea, and the details were not clear.

They did not distrust Ling Yufei and others, but this secret was too important, so for the time being, the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

Lu Yu had never thought that this Feihong Sword would be related to the world above the Nine Heavens, but in this situation, he had to agree with Yang Chudie's guess.

In an instant, countless questions surged into his mind...

Where did his father get the Feihong Sword from?

Does he know the true origin of the Feihong Sword?

If the Feihong Sword is really a divine weapon above the Nine Heavens, how did it become what it is now?

In addition, the most important point is, what is the identity of the casual cultivator who intercepted Ling Yufei in the Nine Netherworld?

The reappearance of the Feihong Sword's weapon spirit, is this a coincidence, or did he do it on purpose?

If it was intentional, what did he do?

Is this giant beast totem the awakening of the original weapon spirit of the Feihong Sword, or a brand new weapon spirit that he re-tempered?

Why did he do this?

Is that person really just an ordinary casual cultivator?

...

"What did the casual cultivator you met in the Nine Netherworld look like?"

Lu Yu finally couldn't help asking Ling Yufei and the others.

At this time, everyone realized that the key to the problem was the mysterious casual cultivator, whose identity was very suspicious.

So everyone recalled the specific situation of that day, and they kept adding details of the time without missing anything.

But even so, it is still useless. After all, the information revealed by those mysterious people at that time was too little. Even if the scene at that time was replayed, there would still be no valuable clues.

In the end, the most valuable thing was the painting that Luo Shuhui painted vividly.

So, Lu Yu's eyes stayed on Luo Shuhui's painting for a long time without saying anything.

The painting shows the image of a middle-aged man, who looks ordinary. If he didn't know what he did, even if he was thrown into the crowd, he probably wouldn't attract any attention...

But it was such a person who made Feihong Sword undergo earth-shaking changes.

So that when people look at his portrait now, they will no longer think that he is an ordinary person, but only think that he is the rumored Fengchen Yiren, a hidden master...

"This person's skin color is slightly pale, and it seems that he should have stayed in the Nine Netherworld for a long time. Should we go to the Nine Netherworld first to look for him? Maybe we can run into him if we are lucky..." Yang Chudie suggested.

"No."

Unexpectedly, Lu Yu flatly refused: "Let's go directly to Mingjian City according to the original plan!"

"No matter how the mysterious man did all this, it is an indisputable fact that Feihong Sword can accommodate such a weapon spirit. This ability shows that this sword is extraordinary..."

"Originally, my father asked me to use Feihong Sword as a token to go to Mingjian City to find someone to contact. I was quite skeptical about this matter. After all, more than ten years have passed. What kind of changes will happen and whether that person is still alive are all unpredictable..."

"But now, I am full of curiosity about all this!"
