Chapter 645: Flower on a bladeTranslated by: La0o9

Shifu said I had two junior sisters, did the sect accept more people?

Unable to come up with anything, Gu Qing Shan could only stand and wait as his Shifu instructed.

Not too long after that, an airship appeared at the horizon.

The airship arrived quickly, with several fully armored cultivators standing guard on either side.

Gu Qing Shan was surprised to see this.

Normally whenever they went out, he and Xiao Lou would always be sneaky to find a place to get a drink or two.

Since when did our sect act this high-profile?

While the airship was still a bit away, a voice had already reached the lake.

“Who are you!? Why did you face a Tribulation without any contact or notification in our world?”

Gu Qing Shan immediately realized that he had misunderstood.

These were most likely patrolling cultivators who came on duty, not people of his sect.

Gu Qing Shan then replied: “I’m a disciple of Bai Hua sect, the Tribulation came down as soon as I got here so I couldn’t contact anyone. Hopefully, you’ll let this go”

“Bai Hua sect? Who are you?” the opposing voice was suddenly raised.

“This humble one is Gu Qing Shan”

As soon as he said this, the other side went quiet.

Even the airship stopped in place without getting closer.

The voice from before shouted: “Send the signal!”

“Yes!”

Two cultivators shouted in reply.

An emergency military flare was shot to the sky, howling all the way.

As the signal was sent out, the people sighed in relief and no longer got any closer, instead opting to take a defensive stance.

Gu Qing Shan quickly understood their actions as soon as he saw it.

These people were alerted when I faced my Tribulation, so they came to check it out.

And now they’re probably assuming that I’m an impersonator.

No wonder Shifu warned me not to go anywhere!

In the short time that he was in thought, the situation suddenly changed.

Over a dozen cultivators came flying from afar with formation plates in their hands.

They went in front of the airship and began to arrange a formation aiming towards Gu Qing Shan.

Various layers of light came out from their formation plates, forming mysterious runes that melted into the void of space.

Gu Qing Shan scowled as he saw that.

Such a slow and inefficient method of arranging formations wasn’t much trouble for him.

Originally, the cultivation world’s main characteristic was the richness of resources, while Shen Wu world’s characteristic was their excellent Smithing techniques.

But the Suspended world where Gu Qing Shan went to was a place that relied completely on formations to exist.

The greatest crystallization of the Suspended world’s culture was their formations.

And after his battle in that world, Gu Qing Shan had used his Soul Points to max out his understanding of formations in order to leave.

His current level of comprehension of formations could be considered the best even in the previous Suspended world.

And so, now that he was facing the cultivation world’s old formations, Gu Qing Shan didn’t mind them at all.

Every formation user’s gestures, every detail of their formation was quickly analyzed and decoded by him.

—–this was a large-scale binding formation whose main use was to trap enemies and prevent them from using spirit energy.

The formation was already half-done and will be completed in a few more breaths of time.

At that time, things would become troublesome.

Gu Qing Shan didn’t think much about it and tapped his Inventory Bag to take out a formation plate.

——-one that came from the Suspended world.

He quickly operated the formation plate.

Whether or not this was a misunderstanding, how could he just stand there to be captured?

If it really was a misunderstanding, he’ll just have to resolve it later on.

If it wasn’t, then he definitely can’t let himself be put into a situation where he couldn’t fight back.

And so, both sides arranged their formations.

When the formation users on the other side finished their formation, so did Gu Qing Shan.

They both activated them at once.

“””Four Corner Anti-spirit Demon Trapping Formation, activate!”””

The formation users shouted all at once.

The light of the formation slowly rose up.

Gu Qing Shan also put this hand on his formation plate and infused it with spirit energy.

A light came from the formation plate.

Ten Thousand Spirit Melting Dispel Formation, activate!

Two intense lights clashed with each other in the sky.

This was a fight between formations.

—-rumble rumble!

The two lights clashed against each other, neither one giving up until they both eliminated each other and disappeared.

The expressions of every cultivator there changed.

Their side began arranging their formation first, yet they couldn’t trap him.

The other side only began half-way through, and he was alone, using a formation that they never heard of before.

Yet this formation managed to dispel their large-scale formation that took over a dozen people to arrange.

What a high-level formation user!

They immediately understood the situation.

Another flare was instantly shot to the sky.

This time, the flare was bright red, signalling a dangerous situation.

They all angrily shouted.

“You are not Gu Qing Shan!”

“That’s right, Gu Qing Shan doesn’t know how to use formations!”

“Gu Qing Shan is a sword cultivator, not an impersonator like yourself!”

“He clearly got spooked, immediately revealing his identity of being a formation user when he was about to be captured”

“Villain, which world did you actually come from, confess!”

Being rained with jeers and shouts, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t do anything but chuckled bitterly, feeling a bit helpless.

Sure enough, Shifu’s worries were warranted.

I didn’t go anywhere, but my Tribulation caused such a huge commotion as soon as I returned.

I forgot to mention this to Shifu.

Gu Qing Shan had to put a hand up and loudly declared: “Please wait a minute, I can explain”

From afar, a cold female voice came.

“Explain? He has never practiced formations to such a degree before, so you don’t need to explain anything”

Following this voice, the crowd of cultivators appeared glad.

“It’s the General!”

“The General came here herself!”

“Brat, you’re not going to get away this time”

Amongst the shouting, a streak of light shot across the sky, heading towards Gu Qing Shan.

A second later.

Gu Qing Shan realized something.

“Not good!”

He silently told himself.

At the same time, a sharp ripping noise came from the air.

A shining snow-white Blade gleamed at him.

Wherever the Blade passed through, the air itself was being sliced apart, leaving behind a black crack in space.

The snow-white Blade drew a long black crack as it fell on him from above.

The Blade was heading for Gu Qing Shan’s head!

——–what a fast strike!

What fierce bladesmanship!

This is a strike that forgoes all room for retreat, one that would kill the enemy even at the cost of their own life.

Gu Qing Shan knew how strong this strike was.

In the blink of an eye, he took the Six Paths Great Mountain sword in hand.

Secret Art, [Crescent Slash]!

A light blue glow enveloped his sword as he received the Blade.

Bang———-

The sword and blade clashed, giving off ear-piercing metal screeches.

The world itself shook.

Several formation users whose cultivation weren’t too high couldn’t help but quickly back off.

They were almost at their limit merely by being near the shockwaves of the clash.

“Ah?”

The cold female voice was a bit surprised.

Her strike was stopped.

She couldn’t help but appear from the void of space.

Gu Qing Shan took a good look at her.

The female was wearing a metal mask that shielded her face, preventing even inner sight to pass through.

Her slender but plentiful physique was perfectly enclosed by a suit of armor.

A Blade was held in her hand.

Her entire body gave off a cold and sharp killing intent.

Ning Yue Chan! (1)

There was no one but her in the entire cultivation world with this presence.

Gu Qing Shan deeply sighed and spoke: “Hah, so even you don’t recognize me now? I’m the real one here”

Ning Yue Chan ignored his words and coldly spoke: “There are too many methods in this world to allow a shameless bastard to disguise as him”

“Since you’ve managed to stop my strike, prepare to die even more gruesomely”

Gu Qing Shan could tell, her voice was calm, but it masked intense fury.

She was serious!

Seeing Ning Yue Chan raising her Blade about to attack again, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but quickly shouted: “Wait! You ambushed me before, now it’s my turn to attack first!”

Ning Yue Chan was stunned for a brief moment.

Taking advantage of that, Gu Qing Shan shamelessly took a large distance from her.

Don’t be ridiculous, this girl always fights without minding her own life, I’m not going to fight THAT!

He quickly wracked his brain to quickly come up with a solution.

Fortunately, he had been in enough life-threatening situations that he was already a veteran in that field, so his mind actually moved faster under these circumstances.

As soon as Ning Yue Chan reacted and raised her eyebrows, Gu Qing Shan already came up with a solution.

Her Blade flashed.

Ning Yue Chan pursued him!

Gu Qing Shan hurriedly retreated again while tapping his Inventory Bag to take out something.

He shouted: “Take a good look at this!”

——-he was holding a small white flower in his hand.

This was a Dragon’s Tear Flower, a herb that was beneficial to the soul vessel, its fragrance was light but lingered for a long time, a favorite among female cultivators.

Unfortunately, this type of flower was so rare that it was hard to find even in the cultivation world with its abundance of resources.

However, there were a few branches of them growing in Bai Hua sect.

This was thanks to Bai Hua Fairy spending untold efforts searching through the entire cultivation world for them.

Because of Xiuxiu’s soul vessel being wounded since she was young, Bai Hua Fairy frequently gives her this flower as food, hoping that she would recover soon.

After Bai Hua Fairy’s collection of them, Dragon’s Tear Flowers became even rarer in the cultivation world.

And there was a reason why Gu Qing Shan took out this flower.

In the past, during the spirit beasts’ betrayal incident, Ning Yue Chan had secretly accepted Gu Qing Shan’s request and brought him back to camp from the wild.

At the time, Gu Qing Shan gifted Ning Yue Chan a Dragon’s Tear Flower while riding on her airship. (TN: ch154)

Only the two of them know about this.

Even if people from the cultivation alliance caught masses of cultivators from this world and performed [Soul Reading] on them, they still wouldn’t know about this.

Someone of Ning Yue Chan’s caliber would definitely understand what this flower meant.

This flower was more than enough to prove that Gu Qing Shan wasn’t a fake!

A split second later——-

The Blade stopped.

The overwhelming Blade spirit that never backed down dissipated in front of this small white flower.

The Blade then softly touched the petals of the flower, as if it was a shy girl in love.

Ning Yue Chan pulled back her Blade and undid her mask, revealing her familiar stunning beauty.

The killing intent from before had all gone away without a trace.

A pair of clear apricot eyes faced Gu Qing Shan straight on as if it had countless words to say.

But their current situation didn’t allow the two of them to carefully do such a thing.

She only looked at the Dragon’s Tear Flower and lightly asked: “This break on the stem, could they be from the same branch?”

“Hm, the flower I gifted you that day, this is certainly another of the same branch” Gu Qing Shan replied.

After some brief thinking, he continued: “And I’ll gift this one to you as well”

The small white flower gave off a faint fragrance that calmed the mind.

Ning Yue Chan put her Blade away.

She came forward, carefully received the flower and gently sniffed it in front of her nose.

“Then I’ll have a complete pair to take care of now”

She muttered.

Note:

(1) Ning Yue Chan: I might have forgotten to announce this before, but her name was mistranslated before as Ning Yue Xi, from now on it will be Ning Yue Chan
