156: Inheriting the sword intent, Qin Yuze, the general

From the moment Daoist Wunian's voice fell, a powerful Sword Intent directly occupied Lu Ze's mind!

Lu Ze immediately entered a meditative state!

At this moment, Myriad Things Grow also arrived silently, constantly intercepting the Sword Intent that was rampaging through Lu Ze's body!

Zhe Lei also helped, and the power of Different Lightning and Different Fire erupted together, attempting to trap the Sword Intent!

However, this Sword Intent was extremely unruly; it seemed that no power could make it submit. It hid everywhere, not giving Zhe Lei or Myriad Things Grow a chance to suppress it!

"Hiss, this kid has so many tricks up his sleeve."

Daoist Wunian stood beside Lu Ze, his face full of surprise, "Different Fire, Different Lightning, and a mysterious power that even this Daoist can't comprehend."

"However, kid, if you want to suppress this Daoist's Sword Intent and make it submit, then you're on the wrong path."

Daoist Wunian flicked his sleeve, casually picked up a sword from the ground, and with a swing of the hilt, the rust-stained blade instantly vanished into the air, turning into tiny fragments.

The Formation on the stone door also disintegrated!

Zhong Sheng saw this, immediately sprang forth from the ground, landing beside Lu Ze, acting as his Protector.

At this moment, Lu Ze looked extremely unwell. His eyes were tightly shut, his left cheek was fiery red, with traces of blood seeping from his skin's pores, while his right cheek was as pale as ice, his muscles rigid.

"What happened to the King?!"

Zhong Sheng was very worried. Even though she was well-traveled and knowledgeable, she had never encountered such a situation.

Daoist Wunian casually tossed the dilapidated sword hilt into the water and said calmly, "Don't worry, he's fine. He's just receiving this Daoist's Sword Intent. Let him try it himself first. If he can't, this Daoist will naturally help him."

"By the way, this Daoist hasn't left this place for a hundred years, so I'm a bit curious about the outside world. I wonder if I could ask a thing or two, just for a chat."

"As you can see, I am tainted with Devilish Qi and do not enter the Human Base. If you want to ask about matters within the Human Race, I do not know."

Daoist Wunian shook his head, "It's not about the Human Race. According to you, since you don't live in the Human Base, then you should know a little about what this Daoist wants to ask."

Zhong Sheng frowned, "What do you want to ask?"

"Guan Jiang Department."

Daoist Wunian uttered three words, his gaze fixed on Zhong Sheng, "Miss, you must have heard of this organization, right?"

Zhong Sheng hesitated, then finally said, "Of course I've heard of them. Speaking of which, I once owed many of them a great debt of gratitude that I haven't repaid. If it weren't for them, I would be a corpse by now. However, since I owe them a favor, I certainly cannot casually speak of their affairs. If you want to inquire about anything, it's not possible."

"Don't worry, this Daoist isn't asking about any secrets."

Daoist Wunian smiled, drew out his peach wood sword, untied the tassel, and handed it to Zhong Sheng, asking, "I wonder if the current leader of the Guan Jiang Department is still this person?"

Zhong Sheng looked at the tassel in her hand, on which a small name was clearly embroidered in gold thread - Qin Yuze!

"Aren't you from hundreds of years ago? How could you have this person's name?"

Zhong Sheng immediately became wary and suspicious.

Qin Yuze of the Guan Jiang Department, by age, would only be forty or fifty now. How could her name be recorded on a tassel from hundreds of years ago?

Daoist Wunian took back the tassel, re-hung it on the sword hilt, "The name of each successive leader of the Guan Jiang Department is confirmed long in advance. Since it was determined long ago, this Daoist naturally knows. This Daoist also knows that the next leader after Qin Yuze should be Yun Chenxi."

Zhong Sheng's eyes narrowed. Indeed, there was a person named Yun Chenxi in the Guan Jiang Department now, and this person had already begun to play a very important role, subtly showing signs of leading others.

"This Daoist is not lying, and merely asking a question should not be considered particularly private information, right?"

"Naturally not. In the Human Base, as long as one can enter the headquarters, one can know the name Qin Yuze."

Zhong Sheng thought for a while, then chose some information she could disclose, "It's just that, it's not as you said. Qin Yuze is not the current leader of the Guan Jiang Department, or rather, she has never been the leader of the Guan Jiang Department."

As soon as these words were spoken, Daoist Wunian's eyes instantly turned cold, "What?"

Zhong Sheng's words continued to flow, "Currently, Qin Yuze is missing. She disappeared about twenty years ago. The Guan Jiang Department and the Demon Subduing Division are both looking for her, and in recent years, they've even started offering rewards. The Guan Jiang Department even told us that if we could capture Qin Yuze, they would give us a considerable reward. But after all these years, no one has found her trace. Perhaps she's dead."

Zhong Sheng suddenly thought of something and continued, "Speaking of which, perhaps she was killed by Lu Qianfeng?"

"Who is Lu Qianfeng?"

Daoist Wunian frowned. He had never heard this name before.

"He was the director of the Yan Jing Demon Subduing Division headquarters, but he's the former director. It is said that this person is quite cunning. He once deliberately neglected his duties during an organizational battle, feigning a chance encounter with people from the Guan Jiang Department. Later, while he was imprisoned in the Demon Subduing Division's dungeon, he directly transferred from the Demon Subduing Division to the Guan Jiang Department's camp! After entering the Guan Jiang Department's camp, he tried every means to seduce Qin Yuze, and later eloped with her."

Zhong Sheng tried her best to recall the information she knew, "Over these many years, the Guan Jiang Department seems to have detected Lu Qianfeng's traces several times, but as for Qin Yuze, there's been no news at all. Perhaps she was killed by Lu Qianfeng. After all, it's rumored that Lu Qianfeng approached Qin Yuze solely for the confidential documents of the Guan Jiang Department."

The more Daoist Wunian listened, the more anger welled up in his chest. He couldn't help but let out a few cold laughs, "If that's truly the case, then Lu Qianfeng must be killed!"

Zhong Sheng did not respond. This matter was considered an internal affair of the Guan Jiang Department, only disclosed to them to encourage their vigilance, and there might have been hidden details.

Daoist Wunian thought it over repeatedly, then gave the peach wood sword to Zhong Sheng, "Consider this Daoist asking you a favor, please accept this item!"

"What's the use of this peach wood sword?"

"This item is a token. Please give it to Yun Chenxi of the Guan Jiang Department! Don't worry, this Daoist will naturally offer a corresponding price."

Daoist Wunian pointed at Lu Ze, "This Daoist originally intended to give this kid only one layer of Sword Intent. If you agree to deliver the token, this Daoist will naturally give all of his Sword Intent to this kid."

Zhong Sheng unhesitatingly took the peach wood sword into her hand, "Alright, I will deliver the token."

Daoist Wunian did not delay either. He walked directly to Lu Ze's side, and all of his Sword Intent instantly concentrated on his right index finger, which he then touched to Lu Ze's forehead!

"Buzz!"

Ten thousand zhang of Sword Intent, like a surging river, rushed into Lu Ze's mind!

Giving the Sword Intent to Lu Ze also meant Daoist Wunian's complete disappearance.

There was no trace of sorrow in Daoist Wunian's eyes. He had long come to terms with life and death.

Who lives for a hundred years and does not die?

It's just that sometimes, one must die with some meaning.

Daoist Wunian closed his eyes, pouring his Sword Intent into Lu Ze's mind, and his body slowly dissipated with it.

Suddenly!

Daoist Wunian opened his eyes, his weak figure hastily spoke, "This kid is the eleventh..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Daoist Wunian's figure turned into nothingness and dissipated into the air.
