Chapter 387 Taiyi Green Wood Mark (2/2)

After which, he turned around, pushed open the door and left.

The scene in front of him began to change once again, and it wasn't long before his surroundings brightened. Zhou Yuan lifted his head, only to find that he was already standing at the entrance of the Ancient Manuals Tower.

The door behind him was shut again.

Zhou Yuan was stunned. His gaze did a quick turn, and he quickly realized that there were two figures standing on the steps in front of the door.

The hunched over elderly man, who was sitting down with a broom in his arms, was naturally old Xuan.

However, it was the young looking figure beside old Xuan who left Zhou Yuan in shock. It was the peak master of Sword Cometh Peak, Ling Jun.

To think that such an important person would be here...

The instant Zhou Yuan discovered peak master Ling Jun, the latter tilted his head slightly, as his deep pool like eyes nonchalantly swept a glance at the former.

This glance alone caused Zhou Yuan to feel a stabbing pain all over his body. It was as if peak master Ling Jun’s gaze contained an extremely dreadful sword aura. If he showed even the slightest hint of killing intent, a single glance would instantly pierce Zhou Yuan’s body.

Fortunately, peak master Ling Jun quickly withdrew the sword aura in his eyes. He turned around, approached Zhou Yuan and said with a faint smile, “Zhou Yuan, you are extremely talented. Are you interested in joining my Sword Cometh Peak?”

He did not beat around the bush, directly stating his intent to recruit Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan was put on the spot by these words. Wasn’t peak master Ling Jun being too direct?.

“Le Tian and the others lost to you because they were useless, and I have already punished them accordingly. Given your talent, it is a waste for you to stay at Saint Genesis Peak.”

“If you come to my Sword Cometh Peak, I promise you that you will become one of the ten Chosens within three years. How about it?” Asked peak master Ling Jun.

Zhou Yuan let out a bitter laugh, before he shook his head and said, “This young one appreciates peak master Ling Jun’s kind intentions.”

There was no change in peak master Ling Jun’s expression, seemingly unsurprised by Zhou Yuan’s rejection. He merely looked deeply at Zhou Yuan, before he asked, “I am a little curious as to why you insist on staying in the pitiful Saint Genesis Peak?”

Zhou Yuan replied with a calm expression, “I’ve already mentioned it during the peak selection ceremony. I was fortunate enough to receive a blessing from patriarch Cang Xuan in the Saint Remains Domain. I came to the Cangxuan Sect not only because of my admiration for the patriarch, but also because I hope to restore Saint Genesis Peak to its former glory so as to repay him.”

Peak master Ling Jun fell silent.

On the steps, old Xuan lifted his aged face, glanced at Zhou Yuan, and said, “I never imagined that even someone from the younger generation would understand the meaning of gratitude.”

He then turned towards peak master Ling Jun, and said with his raspy voice, “Saint Genesis Peak is a lonely and desolate place that cannot match up to the liveliness of Sword Cometh Peak. You should head back soon.”

When he realized that old Xuan was asking him to leave, peak master Ling Jun withdrew his gaze from Zhou Yuan and looked towards old Xuan. Following which, his body began to fade, ultimately vanishing from sight.

Zhou Yuan finally heaved a huge sigh of relief deep inside when he saw peak master Ling Jun leave. Merely standing in front of the former had made him feel a terrifying pressure. It was after all not pleasant to stand in front of someone who could take your life in the blink of an eye.

He had been truly afraid that peak master Ling Jun might still be upset with him over what happened at the purple sash selection test, and give him a literal ‘death glare’...

Old Xuan slowly staggered to his feet. He leaned on his broom, as his murky eyes stared at Zhou Yuan. A long while later, he finally opened his mouth and slowly said, “You… entered master’s training chamber?”

He paused for a moment, before he continued, “The items in there… are beyond the reach of ordinary disciples…”
