YM778.TV Chapter 48: Valkyrie (1)
Only after confirming that the martial arts grandmaster had indeed left did he let out a sigh of relief.
As soon as he relaxed, the golden armor around Su Mu’s body immediately retreated and disappeared without a trace.
His legs gave way and he almost fell to the ground.
Su Mu only felt all his energy being sucked dry in an instant, his entire body feeling unprecedentedly weak!
He could even vaguely smell a deathly aura!
At this time, Zishan Daoist walked out from the dark and said with some relief,”
“Fortunately, this martial arts grandmaster has a soft personality and used an ordinary Golden Armor Talisman to scare him off.”
Then, he looked at Su Mu with a complicated expression and said,
“Little friend, you are using your life to save me. No matter how many words of thanks this poor monk says, it will only be useless. What other wishes do you have, little friend? I will help you achieve them even if I have to die!”
“Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly. If that martial arts grandmaster turns around and attacks us, the two of us will die immediately.”
Su Mu, who was used to death, was not that pretentious.
After taking a breather, he left with Zishan Daoist.
Su Mu’s vitality was far stronger than what Zishan Daoist had imagined.
They had been fleeing for three days, but Su Mu still had half of his life left. He wasn’t in a near-death state.
In a teahouse on a small village road, Su Mu and Zi Shan sat opposite each other with pale faces, drinking tea.
“Little friend, you have such exuberant vitality! If this continues, I’m afraid I’ll have to leave first!”
Zishan Daoist looked at his haggard face in the tea and could not help but laugh bitterly.
That day, although they had forced Wei Zhuan to retreat, the Taoist bird that Xuan Zhenzi had cast had been following them.
In order not to be tracked, Zishan Daoist could only use a spell to cut off this connection.
In the great hall in the mountain, Daoist Zishan’s clone was closely connected to his main body. Otherwise, he would not be able to cast a spell as powerful as the Four Symbols Sword Array.
Therefore, after his clone was destroyed by several martial arts grandmasters, his main body was also implicated and suffered serious injuries!
Xuan Zhenzi’s cultivation was above the Purple Mountain.
In order to cut off his lock on Zishan, the loss was huge.
On top of his injuries, Zishan Daoist was in a terrible state, and he could die at any moment.
It could be said that both Su Mu and Zi Shan had one foot in the grave.
Fortunately, during these three days, Su Mu had managed to extract a large amount of information from him.
There were too many secrets behind the famine in Jizhou!
Things had to start from five years ago.
In the 15th year of the Tianqi era, the Northern Mountain King unexpectedly discovered that his body was a little strange and not very comfortable.
He thought it was just a small problem.
Who knew that even after searching for famous doctors, they could not even confirm the illness!
Later on, a well-informed doctor suspected that the Beiling King might have been poisoned by some kind of curse.
He suggested that he find an expert to take a look.
However, Qi Practitioners were different from martial artists. Not only were they few in number, but they were also unwilling to get involved in worldly affairs.
This was especially true for the Qi Practitioners with high cultivation.
Coincidentally, the Black True Sect appeared at this time!
Originally, the Xuanzhen Sect and the Heavenly Sect were the top sects in Jizhou.
However, this internal battle had caused the Xuan Zhen Sect to suffer a huge loss!
It was all for the name “Xuan Zhenzi”.
To be precise, he was the sect leader of the Xuan Zhen Sect.
The Xuan Zhen Sect had been around for almost a thousand years, which was longer than the Great Gan Lord Dynasty.
The Church Master would automatically inherit the Daoist name “Xuan Zhenzi”.
This was the 16th generation Xuan Zhenzi.
He didn’t want the Xuan True Sect to fall into his hands.
When he learned that the Lord of the two states, the Beiling King, was looking for an accomplished expert, he took the initiative to look for him.
However, Xuan Zhenzi didn’t expect that with the foundation of the Xuan True Sect and his cultivation level.
It actually couldn’t solve the problem with the Beiling King’s body, and they couldn’t even find out the specific reason!
Xuan Zhenzi could only vaguely feel that there was a strange and cold power entrenched in the Beiling King’s body, but he could not remove it.
After a few attempts, not only did it not get rid of any of it, it only got worse!
After a few times, the Beiling King’s body was extremely weak, and he could only rely on various natural treasures to keep his life.
Just when Xuan Zhenzi was at a loss, he discovered the change in Ghost Head Mountain.
The originally fine Ghost Head Mountain suddenly became barren and filled with Yin energy!
Hearing this, Su Mu could already guess what had happened at Ghost Head Mountain.
Therefore, he specifically asked Zishan Daoist which year it was.
The answer he got was the 18th year of Tianqi.
From the sixth year of the Apocalypse Era to the tenth year of the Apocalypse Era, the bronze Mutated Beast Coffin appeared near the military camp.
Then, he disappeared.
Eight years later, he appeared on Ghost Head Mountain again.
If that was the case, the bronze beast coffin would probably change locations every four years.
In the 18th year of Tianqi, he happened to appear at Ghost Head Mountain and was discovered by Xuan Zhenzi.
However, this was not the main point.
The main point was that Xuan Zhenzi dug out the bronze coffin and found that there was an extraordinary person buried inside!
Last time, the two of them stopped and continued to run for their lives.
He could continue while he was drinking tea.
Su Mu drank the tea in his cup and calmly said:
“Death is inevitable in life, so why should we be afraid?”
“But I don’t want to die without knowing why. Tell me who is buried in that coffin. Did the female corpse have any special identity?”
Zishan Daoist thought that Su Mu really didn’t care about death, and couldn’t help but have a complicated expression.
He was a cultivator, but his awareness of life and death was not as good as a young man who was not even twenty years old. He was really ashamed!
Thinking of this, Zishan no longer cared about the matter of life and death and said to Su Mu:
“Do you know that in the history of Da Qian, there was once a Valkyrie, and she was the only one?”
“The only Valkyrie. I’ve never heard of her.”
Su Mu shook his head, waiting for Zishan to explain.
Zishan Daoist sighed and said,”
“I can’t blame you for not knowing. There’s almost no record of her in the history books of Da Qian, and I only found out about her from the collection of the Xuan Zhen Sect.”
“More than 500 years ago, a strange woman named Bai Zhi appeared.”
“She is a woman, but she is eight feet tall, slender and muscular.”
“Of course, these are not worth mentioning in front of her martial arts talent!”
“According to the records of our Xuan Zhen Gate, Bai Zhi practiced martial arts at the age of five, reached the peak of Body Tempering at the age of seven, and reached the peak of the Xiantian Realm at the age of eight!”
Hearing this, Su Mu couldn’t help but gasp.
What kind of monster is this? Your cultivation speed is getting faster and faster?”
Zishan Daoist sneered and said,”
“This is nothing. The rest is even more shocking!”
“At the age of ten, Bai Zhi entered the realm of martial arts grandmaster and became the youngest grandmaster in the world!”
“However, she did not stop there. After eight years of experience, her cultivation level continued to increase.”
“When she was eighteen, Bai Zhi entered the Martial God Realm and became the first and only Martial God in the history of Da Qian!”
Hearing this, Su Mu was shocked and asked again.
“Five hundred years ago, Da Qian was just established, right? Could it be that she…”
“Not bad! Bai Zhi joined the Da Qian Army when she was twelve years old. She killed many enemies along the way and became the commander of the three armies the day she advanced to the Martial God Realm!”
“When she was twenty years old, she fought a war that determined the fate of the Great Qian Dynasty!”
“In the Battle of Changshan, he slaughtered 800,000 soldiers of the State of Wei! Bai Zhi was known as the Blood Sea Butcher, the Blood Red Valkyrie, and so on.”
“From now on, there will no longer be any force that can shake the Great Gan’s Nine States!”
