Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife Chapter 1003: The Mastermind (1)

Chapter 1003: The Mastermind (1)

Editor: Henyee Translations

As one of the five top factions in the world, the Sword Whisper Tower had a long history and a deep foundation. Among them, a true sword seed’s status was extremely n.o.ble. If not for the fact that Shen Ping, the Marquis of Zhenbei, had a profound sword intent and revealed his top talent at a young age, Taixuan Sword Saint would probably not even meet him. Even Madame Yu’s ident.i.ty as a sword son would not be useful.

For her to say so much, it was already on account of the Sword Master’s instructions.

He left the guest peak and returned to his residence in Lijiang City. Yun Xia and Yun Yue, the two beautiful twins, were warming the bed under the blanket, wearing only undergarments. When they saw Shen Ping walk into the house, they curled up in embarra.s.sment.

“My son, don’t move. When you take a wife, you can take them into your room. The rules are not to be broken.”

Madame Yu’s voice came from outside the room.

Shen Ping was speechless. Wasn’t this training his willpower? Fortunately, he was a person who had gone through thousands of trials and tribulations. Otherwise, if he was really the young Marquis of Zhenbei, how could he hold it in? One had to know that hot-bloodedness was not a joke. With a little excitement, he could hold up the sky.

“Yue Zhu, go make tea.”

“Sure.”

After a while, the fragrant tea was served in the outer hall of the bedroom. Shen Ping sat on a chair. When he was tasting tea, his expression suddenly changed. His true soul power sensed the Earth Immortal he had left behind. Hence, he told the twins to rest well and quietly left the house.

The wind blew silently. His figure floated on the river. He saw a cruise s.h.i.+p with two night lights on it. It was sailing in the direction of Seeping River Academy at a gentle speed. There were two people on the s.h.i.+p. One was a white-robed young man, and the other was the Earth Immortal who had poisoned Shen Ping back then.

His true soul force concealed his aura, so neither of them noticed. At this moment, they were talking on the s.h.i.+p. Although they were deliberately hiding it with sword qi, they could not stop Shen Ping at all.

“If you can get first place in this Sword Dao exchange at Seeping River Academy, you will have a chance to see the Diagrams of Mountains and Rivers. That is a supreme opportunity.”

The white-robed young man shook his head and said, “It’s as difficult as ascending to the heavens to get first place. Just Fairy Lijiang and Sword Saint Taixuan are two huge hurdles, let alone Yuan Yang from Heavenly Sound Temple. That monk is the first on the Cosmos Ranking and has been in that position all these years!

“With my strength, it’s already my limit to get into the top five of the Sword Dao Exchange. Although I can’t see the Diagrams of Mountains and Rivers, I can stay in Seeping River Academy for half a year. I might have a chance during this period.”

The man in black who had poisoned him said in a deep voice, “Whether our Jin Tang can rise or not depends on you this time. No matter what the outcome is, we have to gain something.”

The young man in white nodded. “I understand. By the way, I heard that the Marquis of Zhenbei is also in Seeping River Academy. Back then, the hall master sent you to the House of Zhenbei. The matter was already successful, but I didn’t expect such a change. Should I find a chance to kill him?”

The man in black sneered. “Do you have such strength? According to the Hall Master, although the Master of Zhenbei is only an Earth Immortal, his sword intent has already entered the Transcendent Realm. Even an Immortal Realm cultivator is not confident in doing so. I did everything very clean back then and will not make any mistakes. The Hall Master doesn’t blame me.”

The white-robed youth said indifferently, “Although he didn’t blame you, a demon was born in the end. Hmph, if I use some methods, it’s not impossible to kill him. Aren’t you curious about how he could grow so quickly?

“There are indeed geniuses in this world, but this kind of genius is too much. Do you still remember the former Marquis of Zhenbei? He rose very quickly and even stepped into the Immortal Realm long ago, attracting the attention of the higher-ups. Otherwise, how could he have died?”

The man in black was silent for a moment before saying, “Curiosity can kill. With our ident.i.ties, it’s better for us not to do anything special.”

The young man in white curled his lips, seemingly unconcerned. However, he did not say anything else.

Shen Ping’s eyes revealed interest. From the conversation between the two of them, it was obvious that this Jin Tang was a hidden organization, but he had never heard of it. He followed him for a while longer. Seeing that the two of them did not say anything else and did not hear any other information, he left and went to Seeping River Academy to find Palace Master Yan.

“Jin Tang?” Palace Master Yan frowned. “I’ve never heard of such an organization in the world.”

Shen Ping asked again, “Palace Master, do you know how my father died in the depths of the Demon Nation back then?”

Those who could kill the former Marquis of Zhenbei were definitely in the Immortal realm. There were not many Immortal Realm experts in the world. They were basically all familiar with each other.

Palace Master Yan glanced at Shen Ping and hesitated for a moment before saying, “Your father was surrounded and killed by six Immortal Realm experts. In the end, he exhausted his vitality and died. If you know about this now, it will only harm you. Even our academy doesn’t dare to offend those Immortal Realm experts!”

Shen Ping blinked. “Six Immortal Realm cultivators surrounded and killed him. Can any faction in the world send six at once? As far as I know, there are very few Immortal Realm cultivators among the five top factions, right? Your Seeping River Academy should have three, right?”

“How do you know?” Palace Master Yan’s expression changed slightly and she sighed. “Yes, there are three of them. And you’re right. In the world, at least in the top five factions, no faction can send six immortals. However, this world is not as simple as it looks. Only the five top factions and the Demon Nation can see the Earth Immortal Realm! But the Immortal Realm is different.”

Shen Ping nodded. “In that case, the Immortal Realm can touch the real world. Or rather, the Immortal Realm is the beginning.”

He already felt that the world of the red hall was a little abnormal. His understanding of sword intent was clearly very strong, and some of them were even close to the Dao, but his cultivation was very low. Even the destructive power of an Earth Immortal was not strong.
