"There are too many unrelated people here, let’s go." The female zombie looked down and surveyed the ground and then disappeared with Lin Tian.
"Lin Tian, where are you going?" Xiao Manxuan was holding her guqin and trotting while looking up for Lin Tian. But beyond the moon, she couldn’t see anyone else in the sky, and she was so anxious that tears were swirling in her eyes, ready to fall at any moment.
"Xuanxuan, it’s okay, the person just now was probably saving him," Miss said, holding onto her and offering comfort. But if it was a rescue, why were they holding each other so intimately, and that rascal wasn’t even dressed, it was embarrassingly shameful.
Miss blushed just thinking about it, a girl who had not yet bloomed, never been in love, and never been close to a man. Yet now, she had seen Lin Tian’s naked body. Every time she closed her eyes, that naughty smile would appear in her mind.
To divert her attention, she took her sister back to her master and asked, "Master, what kind of power does that girl have that she can hover midair in a void?"
"At least Innate Perfection, but I have never heard of such a powerful person in the Ancient Martial World, especially not such a young girl. It’s unbelievable," the lady in white said, her eyes full of shock.
"Sister, what is hovering midair in a void? That girl took Lin Tian away, she’s not going to do that... that, right?" First, Xiao Manxuan was curious, but then remembering Lin Tian was undressed before he left, she thought of that magical girl wanting to kidnap him.
After asking, she even lowered her head, her cheeks blushing with embarrassment. Miss initially didn’t understand her meaning, so she asked, "Which one?"
"That one, it’s to kidnap, kidnap... you know!" Little girl’s face turned even redder, and she stamped her foot as she spoke.
"This..." Miss was completely dumbstruck, and even the lady in white appeared helpless. She was familiar with Xiao Manxuan and knew that the little girl really dared to say such things.
Miss really wanted to say it wasn’t true, but seeing the situation with Lin Tian then, the girl’s uninhibited actions, she suddenly wasn’t sure anymore. These days, it wasn’t unheard of for women to kidnap men, to claim them as the village chief’s husband was also possible.
However, no matter how much more she thought, it was useless. The person had already left, and cleaning up the current mess was what Miss should be doing. At this time, in front of the relic tower forest, with the vampires gone and the Ninjas running away secretly, the responsibility for repairing Fanyin Temple fell solely on her.
"Old Zen Master, I am extremely sorry for messing up the back mountain . I am willing to fund its restoration to its original state," Miss, who originally came to repay a vow, found herself involved in this situation, and offering to fund the restoration was also adding merit to her vow fulfillment.
"Master Xiao, I am only responsible for guarding the back mountain relic tower forest, I do not concern myself with other matters, Amitabha, well done, well done," the old Zen Master seemed not to have seen the devastated area in front of the Tower Forest, he turned and walked back into the forest and soon disappeared into the night, only a low chanting could be heard.
With the old Zen Master unconcerned, Miss could only look to find the relevant authorities or the person in charge here. Subsequently, Miss and the two others also left the back mountain, a moment of tranquility descended, leaving only the scattered debris that bore witness to the fierce conflict that had occurred here.
On another peak of East Snake Mountain, there stood only a solitary peak surrounded by steep rock walls. Yet atop the solitary peak stood two people, a man and a woman. The woman had a graceful figure, her green clothes fluttering, ethereal like a fairy.
The man, however, wasn’t wearing any clothes; to be precise, he had tied a large leaf around his waist to cover the critical parts, making him resemble a primitive man from the Stone Age.
This odd pair was none other than Lin Tian and the young female zombie. She wasn’t teleporting with Lin Tian, but was flying at a high speed, which to others appeared as if they had suddenly vanished.
They hadn’t flown far from Tianma Mountain, just to a neighboring peak. Since arriving here, she had been holding the golden sword and staring at it for a long time, and Lin Tian had no idea what she was up to. So, he simply found a leaf on the mountaintop to cover up a bit, since he was used to wearing clothes and suddenly having to chat naked with a beautiful girl didn’t feel very secure.
"Uh, what did you bring me here for?" Lin Tian couldn’t hold back anymore, reminding her that there was still a living person beside her, or rather, a zombie, hoping she would react.
"I’m saving you. Didn’t you feel weak when you wielded this sword?" the girl asked curiously as she touched the flame pattern on the sword blade.
"Feeling weak? Oh, yeah, I did. Is there a problem?" Lin Tian recalled feeling somewhat like that.
She still wore a puzzled expression and said, "Of course there’s a problem. Think about it, you’re a Blue-eyed Level zombie, not an ordinary human. How could you feel weak? The problem lies with this sword."
"This sword is pretty powerful, what could be the issue? And why would vampires turn to ash when burned, but not me?" The more Lin Tian thought about it, the more confused he became.
"You don’t turn to ash because you have my bloodline, and this sword has a certain connection to me..." The girl’s memory seemed to have recovered partially as she began to recount the story of the sword.
"My father fought a very powerful person years ago, who had many allies. He gathered Shoushan Copper and Five Directions Essence, melted them down, and forged a golden sword. The sword was so powerful it was invincible, bringing victory to my father," the girl narrated.
However, her memory might not have fully returned, as her narrative was a bit vague and fragmented, not clarifying how it was forged or to what extent it was powerful. Lin Tian couldn’t understand what she was talking about; he only knew a golden sword was forged. Could it be the one right before them?
If that was the case, it was indeed incredible. The girl hailed from five thousand years ago, and naturally, so did her father. The power of a sword forged back then seemed so enormous. It sounded a bit like something from a prehistoric civilization, Lin Tian thought it sounded rather fantastical, but he had indeed experienced the power of the golden sword firsthand.
"Is the sword your father forged this one?" Lin Tian asked.
"No," the girl surprisingly answered in the negative and, unconcerned with Lin Tian’s doubts, continued, "Although it’s not the same sword, the materials are exactly the same and even the aura is identical. So, this sword was made from the leftover materials from that original sword, but it’s an incomplete one."
"Incomplete? It’s not missing any limbs, how could it be incomplete?" Lin Tian was even more puzzled.
Despite his many questions, the girl was very patient and continued to explain, "Back then, my father seemed to have summoned heavenly thunder and Earth Fire to melt the materials used for forging the sword. But after the materials melted and absorbed the energy, it became extremely difficult to melt them again when they cooled and solidified, so those who later acquired these materials couldn’t completely melt them. That’s why this sword is flawed."
