The two Heavenly Gate Grand Elders from Langya Sword Sect slipped silently into Shushan, their target: the Swordmaking House! This was a move that Shushan's defenders could never have anticipated.
"Senior Brother, are you certain the Xuan Yuan Sword Forging Technique hasn't been lost?" The elder with eyes like a universe felt a flicker of anticipation but couldn't help a twinge of doubt. If this ancient forging technique had been lost, their venture from Langya Sword Sect would have been a wasted and risky endeavor.
"It hasn't been lost." The red-haired elder replied confidently, "Our ancestor was a disciple of Ancestor Dustbound. His records are explicit—the legacy is of great importance, with ties to the Upper Realm."
"The passing of ages has only increased the time required for it to resurface."
"Ancestor Dustbound established the Swordmaking House lineage precisely to leave this legacy behind. The key was split in two: the Xuan Yuan Sword Forging Technique of the Swordmaking House and our own Crimson Shade Sword Forging Technique."
"Ancestor Dustbound was one who broke free of his mortal shackles and ascended to the Upper Realm. There's no way he would leave behind a failed legacy." The red-haired elder shared this astonishing secret, causing a gleam of ambition in his companion's eyes.
His senior brother was right. Langya Sword Sect shared a deep connection with the Swordmaking House lineage of Shushan, so much so that their origins could be considered one and the same, both descended from Ancestor Dustbound.
"I've had Lie'er investigate," the red-haired elder continued. "While the Swordmaking House may appear abandoned and overlooked by Shushan's foolish leaders, there was a blind man with the Heavenly Handicap who once entered it, becoming a mere Swordsmith Apprentice."
"He's still alive."
The elder with eyes that reflected heaven and earth gave a slight nod, understanding that his senior brother, having inherited the Crimson Shade legacy, would naturally sense the presence of the other half of their lineage's inheritance.
"How fortunate," he mused. "Had Shushan not brought this upon itself, we would never have had the chance to slip in."
Their pace quickened, and the Swordmaking House loomed ever closer. Both were in good spirits—taking advantage of the chaos at Shushan to seize an unparalleled legacy.
If they could obtain the supreme inheritance left behind by Ancestor Dustbound, it would not only allow them to break through the Heavenly Gate but might even lead to ascension, following in Ancestor Dustbound's footsteps.
Langya Sword Sect had waited for centuries, and now this rare opportunity had finally arrived. Even for these Heavenly Gate Grand Elders, excitement simmered beneath their calm exteriors.
"What's this inheritance you're talking about?"
"Sounds interesting."
Suddenly, the two elders felt a chill. A clear, resonant voice sounded by their ears.
"Who's there?!"
As Grand Elders of Langya Sword Sect, these two had vast experience and keen senses honed through countless battles. They immediately realized that a Shushan powerhouse had detected their presence near the Swordmaking House. And from the pressure of this aura, they could tell this individual was likely more powerful than they were.
Damn it!
They cursed inwardly but were far from panicking. They'd anticipated that Shushan, with its profound foundations, might have hidden masters lying in wait.
"Junior Brother, hold him off," the red-haired elder transmitted urgently. "I'll capture the blind man and retreat immediately!"
The two split seamlessly—one charged toward the Swordmaking House below, while the other unleashed a fearsome aura and surged toward the source of the voice!
Of course, that voice belonged to Jason Chu.
As soon as the two Grand Elders neared the Swordmaking House, Jason had detected them effortlessly. He heard every word they exchanged, stirring his curiosity.
Ancestor Dustbound… who was that? It sounded impressive.
He hadn't realized that the seemingly ordinary forging technique he practiced held such secrets, as these two Grand Elders claimed.
Sensing the two of them splitting up, Jason's form flickered as he raised his hand and struck with a single palm.
This palm, however, was a masterstroke of swordsmanship.
From the center of his palm, countless gigantic swords burst forth, cleaving the Heavenly Gate Grand Elder with heaven-and-earth eyes into countless fragments!
The elder didn't die immediately. At such a high level of cultivation, he could regenerate from mere drops of blood.
As expected, with a surge of energy, his form reassembled, but his aura was severely weakened, his vitality nearly depleted.
"What terrifying strength!"
"Who is this ancient monster?!"
Terror filled his eyes as he locked onto his assailant, his inner world reeling. The stars and blazing suns flickered in his gaze, which now rested upon the one who had attacked him.
"That's… a blind man?!"
The elder's shock was so great that he felt as though he'd been struck by lightning, his gaze fixed in disbelief upon Jason Chu.
Meanwhile, his red-haired companion had also failed in his attempt. The Heavy Profound Divine Sword had suddenly appeared, crushing him into pulp and leaving him struggling to reform his body.
