Chapter 39: Chu Yang's Conditions

14 min read3,442 words

After a long while, Wu Yunliang finally gave a bitter laugh and said, "I can't do it!" He sighed.

Indeed, if he couldn't do it, how could he ask others to do it?

Wu Yunliang fell silent for a moment and then said, "But you killed Shi Qianshan, so you will take his place. You will complete this mission! Or rather, you will fight for your own future! And along the way, help the Sky Tower."

Chu Yang fell silent.

Executing this mission meant a complete farewell to his past life. Moreover, he would face one of the most terrifying figures in the world: Wu Diqing!

But this seemed to be a fated enmity! To change his fate and save Mo Qingwu, he had to defeat Wu Diqing! To reverse his destiny!

With Chu Yang's current status as a commoner, how easy would it be to defeat a world-renowned hero like Wu Diqing from all angles?

Chu Yang had thought that, being reborn, he would have a better grasp of the events of his past life, thus allowing him to navigate through them more smoothly. But at this moment, with this matter arising, he knew that his life was once again entering an unknown realm!

Whether it was danger or opportunity, it was hundreds of times more than in his previous life!

To change the entire world's situation with one person's strength! A life-and-death struggle, surrounded on all sides. Going against fate, against heaven, against history, against the will of the universe!

Chu Yang could not back down!

For Qingwu, for his master, for himself, to defy the fate arranged by heaven! He must reverse it!

"I'll go!" Chu Yang remained silent, his sword-like eyebrows slowly rising. These two words seemed to carry a thousand pounds of weight. Wu Yunliang felt relieved, but then heard Chu Yang continue, "But I have one condition."

"What condition? Speak! As long as the sect can do it, even if you want this old man's life as a gift, I will give it to you!" Wu Yunliang felt relieved.

"I want to enter the Seven Yin Gathering Place!" Chu Yang raised his head, his eyes flashing. "I'm not competing for the position of the eldest disciple, nor do I need the title and glory of the sect's disciple. But I need to enhance my strength. If you agree, I will go!"

"No problem! I'll let you in tomorrow!" Wu Yunliang paced a few steps, his eyes flashing with determination, and immediately made the decision.

Chu Yang felt a surge of excitement. The Nine Tribulations Sword! You are about to be in my hands.

The Nine Tribulations Sword was the key to reversing his fate this time! It was also Chu Yang's greatest trump card! The most absolute power!

"Once you accept this mission, I will erase all traces of you in the Sky Tower. From then on, you will no longer be a disciple of the Sky Tower. This mission is extremely dangerous and requires you to fight alone. What I can provide for you is 300,000 silver notes and a good sword. As for the training needs, I will secretly bring them to you each time."

Wu Yunliang took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Our opponent is Wu Diqing. Be extremely cautious in everything! As long as Iron Cloud does not fall, and the Sky Tower rises, as for you, Chu Yang, even if you become a prime minister in Iron Cloud, that will be your fortune, your personal future! Naturally, if you choose to return at that time, I will welcome you with the highest honor!"

"As for the sect's competition, it is just a means to attract external attention. It's just a small game, and it is no longer important to you now. I only hope that no matter when, you will never forget the instructions I give you today."

Chu Yang nodded solemnly.

"Right now, Qianqian is in Iron Cloud City. The other two, your Ninth Master and Xue Ye Moshang, do not know you. I will tell Qianqian how to respond."

"No, I'll handle it myself." Chu Yang firmly refused. Joking, if he was to change his identity, no one could know. It would be best if, after changing his identity and appearance, even Wu Yunliang did not know his true face.

That would be absolute safety!

As for the training materials Wu Yunliang provided... that would depend on the situation. Once the first segment of the Nine Tribulations Sword was in his hands, what training materials would he worry about?

Now he finally understood why Wu Qianqian had fallen for Shi Qianshan in his past life. It was probably because of this mission that Shi Qianshan had the opportunity to interact with Wu Qianqian...

Even without this mission, Chu Yang would have to go to Iron Cloud. Because the second segment of the Nine Tribulations Sword was in a highly secret place in the capital of Iron Cloud.

In his past life, it was after Iron Cloud's fall that Chu Yang, traveling through the world, passed through Iron Cloud City and, guided by the aura of the sword tip, found the second segment. And it took him a year of several improvements before he could finally obtain it.

Because the Nine Tribulations Sword had strict levels. If one's cultivation was not sufficient, forcibly touching the second segment of the broken sword would result in a backlash!

The next day, at dawn.

Meng Chaoran stood in front of the Purple Bamboo Grove, looking at his disciple whom he had high hopes for, without saying a word for a long time.

After a long while, he sighed deeply, "Chu Yang, this journey is a life-and-death struggle! And you will be completely alone, with no support. Everything, including food, clothing, shelter, travel, scheming, and冒险, can only rely on yourself!"

He paused, looking deeply at Chu Yang, "Have you... thought it through?"

Chu Yang was about to speak, but Meng Chaoran waved his hand, interrupting him, "Don't rush to answer. Think carefully. As long as I am here, no one can force you to do what you don't want to do! If you don't want to, I will go to the sect leader and decline this matter!"

Chu Yang was moved. At this crucial moment in his disciple's life, the usually calm and detached Meng Chaoran finally couldn't control his true feelings.

"Life has many things that must be done, even if they are difficult. There are also many things that one wants to avoid but cannot. Master, you have said that we must have a goal to protect, people we care about." Chu Yang said seriously, "This mission is also for the protection in my heart! It must be done!"

Meng Chaoran fell silent. After a long while, he slowly walked to Chu Yang, patted his shoulder, and when he lifted his hand from Chu Yang's shoulder, he paused in mid-air, sighed softly, and then smoothed out Chu Yang's clothes, straightening the wrinkles. He stepped back, looked at him silently for a while, and finally turned around, looking up at the sky, hands behind his back, and sighed deeply.

"Master!" A warm current surged in Chu Yang's heart, and he couldn't help but call out.

After a long while, Meng Chaoran waved his sleeve, his voice hoarse, "Alright! I will take you... to the Cloud Gathering Peak! To the Seven Yin Gathering Place!" He walked ahead, not looking back.

Meng Chaoran didn't dare to look back. He was afraid his disciple would see his inner weakness.

He had only three disciples. In just a few days, the eldest disciple had betrayed and died; now, the second disciple was about to embark on an unpredictable journey. This journey would be fraught with difficulties and dangers, a life-and-death struggle!

How could a master put his mind at ease? How could he bear it!

The master and disciple walked in silence toward the Cloud Gathering Peak. Meng Chaoran led the way, and Chu Yang followed. Neither of them spoke.

Walking on the mountain path in the early morning, the master and disciple both felt that the weather today was unusually oppressive, almost suffocating.

After a while, as they approached the mountain gate, Chu Yang finally said, "Master, Tan Tan... doesn't know about this; I..."

"Don't worry. I will take good care of him." Meng Chaoran said coldly, "I will treat him like a precious treasure, after all, if you die, I will only have Tan Tan to rely on in my old age!"

Chu Yang stuck out his tongue, not daring to speak further, but he felt relieved.
