THE LEGEND OF THE SWORD GOD
V2CH #248 DIVE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE LAKE
“Saballah. I want you to understand first who the real Qiu Feng is before I get into the core of the story because actually this matter is very complicated,” replied Emperor Xin Feng.
“Complicated why? Did the swordsman nature of Qiu suddenly change?” sahut Heilong's.
“True. Qiu Feng's nature had suddenly turned extremely cruel and murderous after he had obtained that golden sword,” Emperor Xin Feng replied.
“Just tell me the important parts only. Didn't you say that we don't have much time,” Heilong said.
“Qiu Feng used to be your grandfather's younger brother. They were both trained in the lightning element sword skill by Divine Beast Seiryu. During the battle of deciding who will inherit the Mighty Dragon Gauge heirloom weapon belonging to Divine Beast Seiryu, it turned out that Qiu Feng lost to your Grandfather so he became disappointed and very angry then chose to leave the Eternal Lightning Valley,”, Emperor Xin Feng said.
“Then what did Qiu Feng do after leaving the Eternal Lightning Valley?” heilong.
“As I told you before he went in search of a very great sword because there was no sword that matched his honestly-expert majesty other than the Glazing Mighty Dragon. Until he finally established the Guild Heroes and gathered the most powerful forgers in the entire Continent by kidnapping their family members but at that time his nature had not changed because he had not killed one from the family members of those forgers. He only made them as hostages,” replied Emperor Xin Feng.
“Is a sword capable of changing the nature of its users?” heilong.
“Actually I was also doubtful about it but my thinking was instantly changed when I saw the sword spirit of the golden sword,” Emperor Xin Feng replied.
Heilong directly looked at Emperor Xin Feng and asked. “Is there anything strange with the sword spirit of the golden sword made by those forgers?”
“Usually the sword spirits of a weapon are dead Beasts or cultivators spending their entire lives on the sword Laws. But the sword spirit of the golden sword is an extremely ferocious demon, back I know that the forgers who forged the golden sword were people from the demon Clan Kingdom.” replied Emperor Xin Feng.
“Is it for that reason that my Grandfather fought back with Qiu Feng?” heilong asked.
“No.” replied Emperor Xin Feng briefly.
“Then what was the cause of their fight?” heilong asked curiously.
“Then what did my Grandfather do after hearing the news that a Qiu Feng had destroyed a Village that was in the Blue Dragon Kingdom territory? It was impossible for my Grandfather to remain silent after hearing this terrible news,” Heilong interrupted Emperor Xin Feng who was telling a story.
Emperor Xin Feng nodded his head. “Your guess is not wrong, Emperor Long Jin did not keep quiet after hearing the news. Emperor Long Jin went straight to the northern border riding his Beast, a Rhino Horned Dragon when news of the slaughter of a village reached his ears. At full speed, his Beast flew to the northern border but he was still too late because by the time he got there the village had been destroyed by the golden lightning from Qiu Feng. With his own eyes, though, Emperor Long Jin witnessed a very terrible sight that a village under his protection was destroyed in such a way that no one survived even the children'd not escape the cruelty of Qiu Feng.”
“What …?? Is it true that Qiu Feng was indeed that cruel. Had he not allowed the children at all to live,” Heilong asked in surprise and was a little furious.
“True. He had indeed become extremely ruthless from being blinded by his grudges and was under the influence of the Demons present in his Golden Sword. Qiu Feng did not look at the age of the inhabitants he was going to kill, he killed whoever was in front of his eyes.”
“Truly damned man. Just because of a personal grudge, he lost the lives of the villagers mercilessly,” Heilong said angrily as he clenched his hands together. “Then what did my Grandpa do when he saw all that.”
“Just like your current state or it could even be worse, back then Emperor Long Jin became furious then he took out his Mighty Dragon Gauge and fought fiercely against Qiu Feng. At that time the blue-colored lightning and the golden-coloured lightning fought each other so fiercely that even the sky turned dark like it was being frightened. Until finally Emperor Long Jin managed to defeat Qiu Feng after he split the Golden Sword belonging to Qiu Feng into two parts by using the Mighty Dragon Gauge. However no one knew what Qiu Feng's fate would be after that because Emperor Long Jin had never told anyone else about the outcome of that fight. Since Emperor Long Jin returned safely whereas Qiu Feng had disappeared since then the public assumed that Qiu Feng had died even though no one had ever seen Qiu Feng's corpse.” said Emperor Xin Feng put an end to his ways.
Heilong immediately remembered an ancient tomb in Wage Village, coincidentally the village was indeed on the northern border of Blue Dragon Kingdom. Not far from the village he found an ancient tomb that residents said was the tomb of the golden swordsman Qiu. Moreover, Heilong found a lot of strange things in the tomb.
First, Heilong discovered a protective field made of lightning that was similar to Emperor Long Jin's lightning. The protective field is more like a prison than a protector because it shuts a person inside and cannot get out.
Second, the tomb of this golden swordswoman Qiu was the entrance to the Atlantis Continent. Heilong so had a thought that in fact this golden swordswoman Qiu was not dead but he went to the Continent of Atlantis.
“What are you two doing there. Do the two of you not remember Princess Xin Ye's current condition, look at her body temperature is now becoming increasingly cold,” shouted Xue Xian Hou reprimanding Heilong and Emperor Xin Feng who were engrossed in chatting to himself.
“I'm sorry. I checked the tanker that was there until I forgot the condition of my own daughter. Alright let's immediately go dive into this ice lake, it should be that the gateway to the inner island is at the bottom of this ice lake," Emperor Xin Feng asked.
Without a second thought the three of them directly dived to the bottom of the ice lake. Emperor Xin Feng was leading the way because he had seen the map that was in the letter written by Emperor Xin Wu, while Heilong was in charge of protecting from behind. And Xue Xian Hou was in charge of bringing Princess Xin Ye to the dive because among the three of them, Xue Xian Hou was the most good at swimming.
