Gu Ruoyun glanced at the Nine Emperors in her hand when she heard this. From a distance, she could see the faint outline of a purple figure within the Nine Emperors’ blade.
“Little girl, I want to thank you for saving me so I will assist you in your rise to the peak. I will help you to restore all of your power from your past life. Only you, from your previous life, will be able to harness the full extent of the Nine Emperors’ power!”
The elderly voice carried a chuckle yet it made Gu Ruoyun furrow her brow.
My past life?
Based on what the Dragon King had said, it seems to have known me in my past life?
That was right, this old man who had been speaking to Gu Ruoyun was the Dragon King that she had previously saved in Evil Spirit Forest! At that time, the Dragon King’s spirit had been bound in chains. She had saved it through the Nine Emperors and turned the Dragon King into the Nine Emperors’ weapon spirit.
The Nine Emperors’ awakening was largely connected to it.
“What do you mean by ‘past life’? Who on earth am I?”
“Hehe, little girl, you will discover that sooner or later so I shouldn’t be the one to tell you.” The Dragon King chuckled and said, “Even though you’re unable to harness the full power of the Nine Emperors now, its power is still no match for other weapons. Otherwise, it would not hold the title of a ‘divine weapon’! Even though you’re still at the late stage of the exceptional state, you can fight on the same level as a cultivator in the mid-stage of the refined state.”
Gu Ruoyun knew that this old fellow was speaking the truth. If she was to use a spiritual weapon, she would be able to hold her own against someone in the early stage of the refined state at the very most. She had been able to remain unscathed despite being surrounded by so many cultivators in the refined state was entirely due to the effort of the Nine Emperors.
“Alright, little girl, you will need to undergo your own torment if you wish to find out about everything. I can only help so much. However, I hope that you’d be able to visit the Dragon Clan when you have the time. There may be a turning point for you to raise your power there.”
The Dragon Clan?
Gu Ruoyun could not help but be reminded of Lan Ge.
Back then, she had met Lan Ge who was half dragon and half human. She had even taken him in and gave him the chance to establish his own organization! It has been a few years since they last saw each other and she wonders where Lan Ge was.
If she visits the Dragon Clan, she must bring him along.
“Alright, I understand.” Gu Ruoyun smiled calmly. “Once I’ve finished my business, I will make my way to the Dragon Clan! Now that you’ve mentioned it, I seem to be fated with the Dragon Clan. First, I had met the Demibeast human, Lan Ge. Then, the spiritual beasts in my possession received the Dragon Clan’s ancestor’s inheritance. Next, I had met the Stone Dragon who guards the Secret Order and finally, I’ve found you. I will journey towards the Dragon Clan after this, no matter what.”
After Gu Ruoyun had spoken, the Dragon King’s voice fell silent. Gu Ruoyun then slowly raised her head beneath the whistling wind and her eyes turned towards the cultivators of the Empire who were sprawled out on the ground.
“Half an incense’s time is nearly up. Therefore, I must quickly get rid of you.”
Boom!
Suddenly, the Nine Emperors in front of Gu Ruoyun rose into the sky and grew exceptionally large. The great sword then slashed downwards fiercely and tore into the ground. Some powerful of the cultivators who had been unable to evade the attack in time was slashed into two by the sharp blade…
Cultivators at the early stage of the refined state had no way to protect themselves under the Nine Emperors’ coercion! The five cultivators at the mid-stage of the refined state had just barely managed to evade it…
Roar!
A dragon roared from within the Nine Emperors and the cultivators saw countless talons and fangs. They could only watch fearfully as the talons and fangs dragged the dead cultivators into the blade before they were slowly consumed by the nine slithering dragons’ souls…
