<h4>Chapter 47: You Can Help, Of Course!</h4>
Light, it’s light!
A light appeared from the cracks in the ground. The dazzling light then formed a light map that was as dense as the stars.
The light map instantly submerged the space.
The originally dark and deste wastnd turned into the color of blood!
Countless corpses hung in the air as grayish-brown sword energy radiated from the light map like ants leaving their nest, floating between Heaven and Earth.
The appearance of the space changed greatly as if they had suddenly entered another world.
“What’s going on?” Wang Ye’s eyes widened.
“Chirp, chirp!” Xiao Jiu pped its wings and used its imposing cries to veil the uneasiness in its heart.
“It’s Xiao Tao’s Infinite Sword Realm!” The giant tree exined, “This is its domain, but...”
“But what?”
“Why does it feel so much weaker... and why isn’t iting out?”
Weaker?
Wang Ye felt the space around him.
It was as if Heaven and Earth were bound here. The skeletons hanging in the air seemed to be telling the story of the war.
Each of these skeletons looked like the remains of a strange god, or the remains of some huge fierce beast. They were big and terrifying.
The giant tree was calling this “a lot weaker”?
Wang Ye felt that the aura was even a tad too strong.
“It’s probably sealed, I think?” Wang Ye said with uncertainty.
If it really was sealed, then the Qinglei Peachwood couldn’t break the seal, it could at most rouse Xiao Tao.
“Sealed? Why did you humans seal it!” The giant tree let out an extremely angry roar!
Wang Ye did not reply.
He was just an ordinary investigator, how could he know?
At this moment, at the brightest spot on the light map, a giant broken de slowly floated.
The broken de seemed to be only half of the original de. The wooden de emitted a scarlet glow.
Wang Ye’s eyes widened.
To be honest, at first nce, anyone would think that this was definitely a fierce and ominous de, a de of ughter that exuded an aura of death.
Whoosh!
The de seemed to be attracted by something as it flew to the Qinglei Peachwood and inserted itself into it.
Buzz, buzz!
A dull ringing sound incessantly sounded.
Gradually, the scarlet glow on the body of the de began to weaken.
Only then did Wang Ye feel that terrifying murderous aura on the de weaken quite a bit.
“Xiao Tao!” The giant tree immediately cried out, excitedly waving its branches.
Wang Ye, who was sitting on it, almost vomited from the jolts.
“?”
The broken de twisted, then flew with the Qinglei Peachwood as its scabbard, arriving before the giant tree.
It then hummed as if it was transmitting waves of spiritual fluctuations,municating with the tree.
The giant tree became increasingly excited.
Wang Ye didn’t know what they were saying to each other.
There seemed to be a special way ofmunication between pets.
“Xiao Jiu, you’re also a pet, so do you know what they’re talking about?” Wang Ye asked.
Xiao Jiu pped its wings, indicating that it didn’t know either.
“It can’t be that you’re a fake pet, right? Say, did you transform into a green sparrow from a human?” Wang Ye pointed his index finger at Xiao Jiu.
“Chirp!” Xiao Jiu was so angry that it used its wings to whoosh past Wang Ye’s head as if saying “Idiot, you’re the fake one!”
“...”
After a while, the giant tree calmed down a little.
Wang Ye hurriedly asked, “Senior tree, how’s the situation?”
Whoosh!
The giant tree had yet to answer before the broken de itself at Wang Ye.
“Chirp!” Xiao Jiu immediately pped its wings, blocking in front of Wang Ye.
The giant tree was silent for a moment before saying, “It’s not good. There’s only a broken piece of Xiao Tao’s de here. Its memories are at the tail of its scabbard, which isn’t here. This is just its de. Thus, it doesn’t know what happened either... If not for the Qinglei Peachwood that helped it regain a bit of its consciousness, it would’ve most likely treated me as an enemy as well.”
Hearing this, Wang Ye fell into deep thought.
Tracing back through history,bined with what Lin Lei had said, the demonic sword had been divided into several parts and sealed in different ces.
How tragic.
That being said, it was still alive even after it had been separated into so many pieces for so long, it was simply ridiculous and bizarre.
“Just now, I told it what happened,” The giant tree continued, “It doesn’t understand either...”
So, he came for nothing?
Wang Ye felt a little regretful.
Xiao Tao was of great importance though...
“By the way, Xiao Tao wants to talk to you,” At this moment, the giant tree said.
“Talk to me?” Wang Ye asked, “About what?”
Whoosh!
At this moment, a grayish-brown lightnded not far in front of him.
“Your name Is Wang Ye?” A crisp voice came from the broken de.
“Huh?” Wang Ye froze.
It could speak humannguage? From its voice, it was female?
Could Xiao Tao be a swordswoman?
“Yes.”
“You have the aura of mypanion on you,” The broken de continued, “You also know about the strange evolution... you should have the diary in your hands, right? Where did you get it?”
“From a descendant of the Ming Family,” Wang Ye said.
“A descendant of the Ming Family?” The broken de was silent for a long time before saying, “Nonsense. My Master has never married, and he has no siblings. He has no descendants at all. Where did this descendant you mentione from? Besides, my Master’s surname is Jiang.”
“???” Wang Ye was stunned on the spot.
It was as if he had been struck been lightning.
What?
“Jiang?” Wang Ye asked in a daze.
“That’s right, Jiang Tianxu.”
Wang Ye sucked in a breath of cold air as he looked at the broken de.
“How much do you remember?”
“Not much. After I left with my Master’s diary, I wanted to hand it over to the humans that he had appointed. However, when I passed by a city, I discovered that it was being devoured by the dark fog. So, I led mypanions and charged in, ughtering countless strange gods. Later on, my reason left me from all the killing, and I couldn’t take it anymore. I left the city and fell into a valley. After I came to, umm... It’s already like this.”
The broken de thought for a moment and added, “The diary should have been lost during the battle.”
Wang Ye broke out in cold sweat when he heard this.
For a moment, he couldn’t tell what was real and what was fake.
He had always thought that Ming Tianxu was the ancestor of Ming Zhu and Ming Kai.
The information he had received told a f*cking different story!
Which side was real and which side was fake?
The information in the diary didn’t seem to be fake since the strange evolution was indeed sessful!
Could it be that some of the information in the diary had been tampered with?
“Your heart is in a mess now,” The broken de said, “Master’s diary is of great importance. ording to his request, if it falls into the hands of someone with bad intentions, the person must be eliminated. But you probably don’t have to be. You’ve helped me a lot. It’s a pity that your pet is a bird. Otherwise, I could have taught it some unique skills. I can’t help you much in my current state either...”
“You can! You can help!” Wang Ye said quickly.
“...”
The broken de was silent for a while before saying, “Go ahead.”
“I need a small piece of the Qinglei Peachwood,” Wang Ye quickly said, “I wonder if you have any extra?”
“Qinglei Peachwood?”
“Yes, for it to evolve,” Wang Ye pointed at Xiao Jiu.
