Legend of Swordsman - Chapter 38

In a cave on an unknown hill, a few hundred miles inside Tranquility Forest, Jian Wushuang slowly woke up after being unconscious for most of the day.

"Boy, are you awake?"

The s.h.a.ggy-haired, burly Bu, was sitting beside him, burning coals for barbecuing. He threw a piece of meat to Jian Wushuang and said, "You must be hungry after being unconscious for so long. Come on."

"My name is Sima Bu, but people call me Bu. You can call me elder brother Bu," he said.

"Brother Bu," Jian Wushuang called out and immediately asked him, "Where is my aunt?"

"Ji Wuyue?" Sima Bu shook his head and heaved a deep sigh. "She should have been caught by Blood Feather Tower. They are heartless and cruel. She would come to a sticky end."

"a.s.shole!" cursed Jian Wushuang.

"Boy, your name is Jian Wushuang, right? Although you are young, you have caused Blood Feather Tower to appoint so many people to kill you." Sima Bu sighed and said, "But you seem to be at a loss."

"Yes, I'm puzzled. Up to this point, all I know is that I have awakened my Sword Soul. So they want to chase me down, just as they chased my father years ago. That's why he left Sword Marquis Mansion. But what is a Sword Soul?" Jian Wushuang frowned.

"Eldest brother Bu, since you have a deep relationship with my aunt, you must know something about her, the Ji Clan, and Blood Feather Tower. Please tell me something," Jian Wushuang pleaded seriously.

"We have been on many adventures together, and we were like Damon and Pythias, but I don't know much about her. However, I do know something about the Ji Clan and Blood Feather Tower," Sima Bu answered at once.

"When it comes to Blood Feather Tower and the Ji Clan, we have to start with the general pattern of the Tianzong Dynasty."

"The Tianzong Dynasty has a vast territory with 16 provinces, and each province has many commanderies. For example, Tianyan Province has 108 commanderies, and Bashui Commandery is only one of them. So you can imagine how wide the Tianzong Dynasty is. Although the Sword Marquis Mansion that you belong to is the most powerful, compared to the whole Tianzong Dynasty, it is so weak that it can't even be regarded as a third-rate power."

An amazing gleam appeared into Jian Wushuang's eye, but it soon disappeared.

Indeed, it was only in Bashui Commandery that Sword Marquis Mansion was a top power. In the entire Tianzong Dynasty, it was not. Even in Tianyan Province, there were countless powers stronger than Mansion of Sword Marquis. For example, the Tianyuan Sword Sect, one of the five Sects in Tianyan Province, was not something that the Sword Marquis Mansion could compare to.

"The three Hegemons in the Tianzong Dynasty are Golden-dragon Palace, the Gladiator Arena, and Blood Feather Tower." Sima Bu continued.

"The ruler of Golden-dragon Palace is the Monarch of the Tianzong Dynasty. Branches of Golden-dragon Palace can be found all over the Tianzong Dynasty. Although its power is overwhelming, it isn't restrained by the Golden-dragon Guard like me and your aunt, Ji Wuyue.

"The power of the Gladiator Arena, the biggest chamber of commerce, is everywhere in the Tianzong Dynasty. It is said that the Gladiator Arena has the support of the imperial household, which must be the prince.

"The last one is Blood Feather Tower!

"I know. It was An Ying, the Hall Master of Blood Feather Tower in Tianyan Province. He was among the a.s.sa.s.sins this time," said Sima Bu.

"An Ying? Good, I will remember him."

"Not only him, but also Blood Feather Tower!"

Jian Wushuang raised his head and his eyes were filled with unprecedented killing intent. He did not know his lot before, but now, he knew everything.

His mother was the firstborn daughter of the Ji Clan. He had the blood of the Ji Clan. That is to say, he bore the blood feud of the Ji Clan.

In order to protect his father, the entire Ji Clan was killed.

His father, who had been caught by Blood Feather Tower, could be dead or alive.

His aunt, persecuted by Blood Feather Tower, was suffering from severe pain. Now, in order to save him, she had been caught by them.

With the awakening of his Sword Soul, the experts of Blood Feather Tower had come to kill him for the first time... All of the culprits were from Blood Feather Tower!
