113: I promised the sword guardian!

Inside the cabin on the first floor of the dragon boat.

A drunkard staggered out from within.

The stench of alcohol made the surrounding people quickly step aside, their expressions full of disdain.

"Who is it, disturbing my sweet dream?"

"Don't you know this is the dragon boat heading to the Shanhai Secret Realm? If you damage it and I can't get to the Secret Realm, delaying my important matters, I'll kill you all!"

"Damn, who is he to be so arrogant?"

"He's drunk so much, seems like he's not someone to mess with."

Up on the thirty-third floor, Tian Wuqi and the others saw this drunkard, and their faces instantly lit up with wild joy.

So this guy came too!

It seems Chen Xian is about to be in trouble.

As for Chen Xian, looking down from his high vantage point, he naturally saw this drunkard too.

A piece of intelligence also surfaced in his mind.

[Daily Intelligence 1: There is a drunkard on the dragon boat, who is the emperor's nephew, Drunken Wu! He usually loves drinking, is broad-minded, righteous, and straightforward. The Son of Luck, Xiao Chen, befriended him and they became sworn brothers!]

Holy crap?

Is that guy Xiao Chen also on this dragon boat?

To befriend the Son of Luck and become sworn brothers...

It shows this Wu Zui still has some redeeming qualities.

Thinking of this,

Chen Xian then descended through the air.

He charged directly towards the deck.

Seeing this scene, Tian Wuqi and the others immediately wore expressions of schadenfreude.

"Heh, daring to provoke that lord, looks like things are about to get lively on this dragon boat."

"Wu Zui is a character who fears neither heaven nor earth. Chen Xian is seeking his own death!"

"Then let him die! Anyway, our mission is to take revenge on the Marquis of Jubei! This is both His Majesty's intention and our Family's original purpose."

"No matter how unlucky he is, it's all good news for us!"

On the first-floor deck.

Chen Xian stood before Wu Zui.

He said with a smile, "There was a reason for my sword strike just now, but it disturbed Your Excellency's sweet dream!"

"This jug of wine, I offer it to you."

As Chen Xian spoke, he took out a jug of wine.

He directly threw it towards Wu Zui.

Wu Zui subconsciously caught it, raised it, and took a swig.

His eyes immediately lit up.

Then he let out a boozy burp!

"As expected of the Marquis of Jubei, so generous, starting off with a five-hundred-year vintage!"

"Good wine, good wine!"

Excited, Wu Zui took another swig and walked up to Chen Xian with a chuckle.

"I'll be your brother!"

"Come on, come on, let's drink!"

Chen Xian laughed heartily.

"Alright, alright, let's drink!"

This scene

left everyone on the deck utterly dumbfounded.

What the hell, bro.

They thought the two would start fighting.

Instead, they started drinking together?

Up on the thirty-third floor,

Tian Wuqi and the others also never expected that when these two lawless fellows met,

they wouldn't even argue.

Instead, they were getting along harmoniously?

"Damn, did they find their own kind?"

Chen Xian and Wu Zui were drinking at a table on one side of the dragon boat.

At this moment, Zhao Hu silently stood behind Chen Xian.

"Reporting to Young Lord, everything has been settled!"

Chen Xian nodded.

"Good, you may withdraw!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Hu left the area.

Seeing this, Wu Zui said drunkenly, "Heh, I didn't expect the Marquis of Jubei's bodyguard to be a Golden Core Stage Cultivator. Seems you're afraid something might happen on the dragon boat!"

Chen Xian said with a smile, "I can't compare to Your Excellency. As a relative of the imperial Family, you act recklessly, and no one dares to target you."

"Someone like me, who knows how many people are eyeing my head and plotting against me!"

"Hahahahaha, then dare the Marquis of Jubei drink with me alone?"

"Aren't you afraid I might also target you?"

Chen Xian said cheerfully, "If I were afraid, how could I have given you this jug of wine?"

"Hahahaha, interesting, interesting!"

As the two spoke, the dragon boat slowly began to move.

On the battlements of Jubei City.

Chen Buyu watched the slowly departing dragon boat, his expression inscrutable.

A man in white stood beside him.

He said with a chuckle, "What? Worried?"

Chen Buyu sighed.

"My Great Nephew has never left Jubei City before! I don't know if he'll be able to adapt once he's out."

"Besides, this gathering for the Shanhai Secret Realm summons Cultivators from all Five Continents. Aside from guarding against the emperor's murderous intent, he'll also have to compete on the same stage as the Prodigies from the Five Continents!"

"I really can't rest easy!"

The white-clad Cultivator laughed heartily.

"As the son of that man, how could he stay cooped up in this city his whole life?"

"This is his chance to soar to the heavens! Don't forget, he walked out alive from that Sword Tomb!"

Hearing this, a trace of relief appeared on Chen Buyu's face.

"Yes, someone who came out from there couldn't possibly be ordinary."

If Chen Xian were here, he would surely be shocked.

How do Chen Buyu and the others know about that Sword Tomb?

Especially,

how do they know how incredibly difficult it is to come out of the Sword Tomb?

Evening!

Chen Xian lay in his room, with Zhou Duo'er beside him massaging his legs.

The Moon Demon nearby said, "Don't think you can rest easy just because you passed the Sword Guardian's test!"

"Although I don't know what you said to him! But, this Karma thing cannot be denied!"

Chen Xian gave a bitter laugh.

Of course he knew!

Yesterday, while undergoing the Sword Guardian's test inside the Sword Tomb.

although he was being pushed back step by step,

he wasn't anxious, because he had promised the Sword Guardian one thing.

If he accomplished this matter, not only would the Sword Guardian thank him, but he would also gift him the entire Sword Tomb!

That was precisely why he was able to walk out of the Sword Tomb.

"So, what did you promise him?"

The Moon Demon was immensely curious.

Because yesterday, he too thought Chen Xian was doomed to die inside the Sword Tomb.

Yet, unexpectedly, the situation turned around. Not only did he survive,

but he also walked out.

Chen Xian said with a grin, "Alright, since this Karma is something we both share. Telling you is fine!"

"What I promised him was to find the master of this Sword Tomb! Alive or dead, I must see the person or the corpse!"

Hearing this, the Moon Demon jumped up!

"Holy crap, what kind of joke are you playing!"

"You promised him that?"

"Might as well just go die."

Zhou Duo'er asked curiously, "Why?"

After a month of contact, she also knew this cat was no ordinary cat.

So she wasn't surprised.

She was just curious why he was making such a fuss over simply finding someone.

"Silly girl! Do you know who the master of that Sword Tomb is?"

Zhou Duo'er shook her head.

"It's precisely because we don't know that we need to find him!"

"You're thinking way too simply!"

"This Sword Tomb is a Small World opened up in ancient times!"

"Opening a Small World in ancient times was different from now. Only a Saint could do it! Only a Great Power could accomplish it!"

"The master of this Sword Tomb was, at the very least, a Peerless Sword Immortal!"

"Moreover, nearly ten thousand years have passed from ancient times until now!"

"A Great Power like that either attained the Dao and Ascended, or their soul dissipated into the annals of time."

"Where on earth are we supposed to find them?"
