Immortal Sword Master

Chapter 433: Chapter 429: Sister An, I’ve Come to Pick You Up

A radiant, silver moon hung high in the void, and right beside it was a brilliant sun.

The sun and moon appeared together, their combined brilliance spreading out and illuminating the entire Underground Palace Realm.

Countless indigenous Martial Artists stared at the scene in shock. To them, such a sight was utterly unbelievable.

"The sun and moon appearing together... this is a miracle!"

Overcome with emotion, some Martial Artists immediately knelt in the direction of the sun and moon, their hearts filled with awe.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH...

Even more Martial Artists rushed toward the phenomenon, wanting to witness this miracle with their own eyes.

As they drew near, they were met with a shocking sight.

Beneath the sun and moon, a white-haired young man stood tall in the sky.

He had a tall, straight posture and long, flowing hair like a waterfall. His face was handsome, his skin like jade, and within his pupils, the sun and moon themselves seemed to float.

He simply stood there, perfectly calm, yet everyone felt an immense sense of majesty emanating from him.

"Who is he?"

"Did the sun and moon appear together because of him?"

The people stared at Ning Jiang in shock, not daring to make a single rash move.

Just then, an awestruck voice rang out, "The miracle appeared because of him. Perhaps... perhaps he is the Master of Sun and Moon, sent down from the heavens?"

The speaker was a highly respected, elderly Martial Artist of the Underground Palace Realm. With an emotional expression, he slowly knelt before Ning Jiang.

"I pay my respects to the Master of Sun and Moon."

In his heart, he already saw Ning Jiang as a sacred, chosen one from the heavens.

"That’s right. He must be the Master of Sun and Moon! Our world has always had a legend that one day, someone will lead us out of this place. He must be the person from that legend."

A Clan Leader from one of the tribes spoke, his lips trembling. As a leader, he knew more than most; he was aware that the Underground Palace Realm was merely a small place and that a much larger world existed outside.

However, he had never been sure if the legend was true.

That was, until a group of outsiders recently entered the Underground Palace Realm and started a great war. Even the mighty Yan Tribe had been reduced to ruins in the conflict.

Now, he and everyone else understood that there were always greater powers in the world. They were nothing more than pitiful frogs at the bottom of a well!

"We greet the Master of Sun and Moon."

As he knelt, countless others quickly followed suit, prostrating themselves before Ning Jiang. Soon, the ground in every direction was covered with a dense sea of kneeling Martial Artists.

It was a breathtaking scene.

Ning Jiang’s gaze was placid. As he looked out, no one dared to meet his eyes. Every face was etched with awe.

"That I achieved my breakthrough here today can be considered fate. This King’s Tomb is, in the end, nothing but a cage. I shall open a path for you and grant you your freedom!"

Ning Jiang’s voice resonated in every person’s ears.

BOOM!

The next moment, a brilliant light, one part black and one part gold, erupted from his body, forming a Heaven-Reaching pillar of light that shot into the sky.

"Break!"

...

"Is this spectacle for the ages finally about to disappear?"

In the Ancient Forbidden Land, countless Martial Artists wore looks of disappointment.

The Solar Eclipse hadn’t lasted long. After only about an hour, the moon slowly moved away from the sun and vanished.

Light returned to the world.

"Sigh... I wonder when we’ll see the sun and moon appear together again."

"Don’t even think about it. It’ll probably be another ten thousand years. We’ll be nothing but dust and bones by then."

"Right, that Ning Jiang hasn’t come out for forty-five days. Is he planning to hide in there for a lifetime?"

Soon, the crowd’s focus shifted back to Ning Jiang.

He was the protagonist of the current turmoil in the Six Eastern Provinces, the center of everyone’s attention.

"Comparing him to Sword King Body Ling Tianxu as one of the two great prodigies of the Six Eastern Provinces is an insult to the Sword King Body. Ling Tianxu stands proudly atop Kunwu Mountain Peak, looking down on all others, while this Ning Jiang cowers in the King’s Tomb, too afraid to show his face. It’s obvious who is superior."

"You can’t really say that. He dared to fight the Seven Great Super Sects for the Celestial Pill. How could he be a coward?"

"Then why hasn’t he dared to show himself for so long?"

Among the many Martial Artists present, some supported Ning Jiang, while others remained skeptical.

And with each day that he failed to appear, these doubts would only deepen.

「On a distant mountain, among the crowd from Wuliang Palace.」

"It seems your dear brother doesn’t dare to show up. If that’s the case, then Wuliang Palace will have no choice but to be ruthless."

Wuliang Palace’s Grand Elder Mu Yunhe let out a cold laugh. Beside him was a stunningly beautiful woman in purple, none other than Ning Yu’an.

"He will come."

Ning Yu’an’s beautiful eyes were resolute, her tone decisive. If anyone in this world understood Ning Jiang, it was her. She knew with absolute certainty that not even the sky falling could stop him.

Ning Jiang was utterly fearless.

And yet, she prayed he wouldn’t appear.

’Brother, they’ve laid an inescapable trap out here. Please, don’t be a fool...’

She prayed silently in her heart. This time, all Seven Great Super Sects had gathered for Ning Jiang, forming an unprecedented trap.

In a situation like this, she obviously didn’t want Ning Jiang to walk into danger.

For her, as long as Ning Jiang was alive, she wouldn’t hesitate to sacrifice herself.

Yet, even as she prayed, she suddenly sensed something in the depths of her being.

Her beautiful eyes shot forward.

"Huh? Why is the ground shaking?"

Many Martial Artists noticed the strange tremor beneath their feet and cried out in confusion.

BOOM!

Just then, with a deafening roar, a Heaven-Reaching pillar of light erupted from the ground, instantly blasting through hundreds of feet of earth and rock.

In an instant, all eyes were fixed on the pillar of light.

Within that pillar of light, a peerless figure slowly rose into the air.

Countless people recognized him.

"The Master of the Myriad Swords Sect, Ning Jiang!"

"After forty-five days, he has finally appeared."

All eyes were fixed on Ning Jiang, their gazes filled with a mixture of killing intent, admiration, jealousy, and envy.

At this moment, he stole the spotlight. His presence was unmatched.

But then, a cold snort echoed from the high peak of Kunwu Mountain, crashing down like a clap of thunder.

"Ning Jiang. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time."

Everyone’s heads snapped around. The speaker was none other than Sword King Body Ling Tianxu!

"Just as I thought! There was a reason Sword King Body Ling Tianxu was here. He came for Ning Jiang."

"Some time ago, Ning Jiang defeated an alliance of many prodigies. Because of that, many people started calling him and Sword King Body Ling Tianxu the twin prodigies of their generation. Some even claimed that the Sword King Body was no match for Ning Jiang. It’s only natural that Ling Tianxu would come for him after hearing that!"

The crowd broke into excited discussion.

They had a premonition that a world-shaking battle was about to erupt between the two of them.

But Ning Jiang completely ignored Ling Tianxu. His eyes saw only one person: a slightly haggard-looking woman in a purple dress.

"Sister An, I’m here for you."

"Brother, you’re such a fool..."

Ning Yu’an murmured, a mist of tears already welling up in her beautiful eyes.
