Chapter 294 Mission Completed
Chapter 294 Mission Completed
Jian Jue barely stopped his murderous intent and looked at Tian Lin:
"Although Old Man Guo has no talent for swordsmanship, he has practiced swordsmanship all his life and sacrificed his life to forge a sword before his death. Of course, he can be considered a swordsman. But he is already dead. What do you want to say?"
Tian Lin said: "Then, Senior Brother Jian Jue, do you admit that this sword belongs to the ancestor of the Guo family?"
"He is a sword cultivator, so of course he is qualified to own this sword. But he is already dead. Is it possible to revive him and return the sword to him?"
Tian Lin shook his head: "The dead cannot be resurrected unless a god intervenes. The ancestor of the Guo family is naturally impossible to be resurrected. Now that this sword has fallen into the hands of Miss Wu, it can be considered to have a wise master.
However, since Miss Wu has inherited the Dao Sword of the Guo Family's ancestor, she should also bear the karma of the Guo Family's ancestor. As far as I know, Cangjian Villa is now trapped by Fu Tianchou of the Beast Taming Sect. Since Miss Wu has obtained the Dao Sword of the Guo Family's ancestor, she should have the obligation to help the descendants of the Guo Family survive this disaster. "
At this point, Tian Lin and Jian Jue bowed and said, "That's all I have to say. No matter what decision you make, I have no say in it. So we don't want this Qingming Sword anymore. Let's say goodbye now."
Tian Lin knew that he could not command Jian Jue, so after saying this, he pulled Ju Yunhai out.
Fortunately, Jian Jue had no intention of stopping them and let the group leave the cave.
After they were completely out of the valley, Tian Lin pulled Ju Yunhai to quicken his pace:
"We can't deal with Jian. Brother, you should know that you can't change his mind with just a few words. Now that things have come to this, why risk everyone's lives?"
Tian Lin knew that Ju Yunhai had a strong sense of morality. At this time, only by using everyone's safety to pressure him would he be forced to consider everyone's safety and give up his unrealistic ideas.
Ju Yunhai sighed and said, "In this case, not only will our mission fail, but we will also fail to live up to the trust of Daoist Fellow Guo Yuanhuai."
Tian Lin said, "Going to the retreat to get the sword is different from taking the sword from Jian Jue. If he had told us from the beginning that the sword was in Jian Jue's hands, we would never have agreed to his request."
"But he himself doesn't know that the sword is in Jian Jue's hand."
Tian Lin said: "Yes, this is something that no one could have predicted. For this, we also lost a Feng'er. Brother Ju, you have already lost a Feng'er for the Guo family's entrustment. This is not your fault, because going to the retreat together was everyone's decision.
But now that you know it's difficult to do, why bother to risk your own life or even Yun'er's life to fight with Jian Jue? Is Yun'er not as good as your promise to the Guo family? The lives of our junior brothers and sisters are not as good as the Guo family's kneeling to you?"
Ju Yunhai was speechless for a moment, and didn't say anything else along the way.
Everyone was very cautious when going to the retreat place, but now they are walking much more briskly back to Cangjian Villa.
But after they spent a whole day walking from dusk to dawn, they discovered something strange about Cangjian Villa.
Behind the bamboo bridge and before the archway, there were corpses all over the ground.
Judging from the bloodstains on the ground and the appearance of the corpses, it was clear that these people had died not long ago.
A group of people looked at the archway in astonishment. The words about Cangjian Villa on the archway had disappeared. Instead, a line of blood-stained words covered the four words Cangjian Villa carved in relief: The murderer, Jian Jue also
Looking at these six words, everyone present looked at each other in surprise.
Tian Lin couldn't help but say, "My original intention was to ask him to discuss it with Fu Tianchou. As for the result of the discussion, it was none of our business. I didn't expect Jian Jue to be so domineering and actually kill someone directly.
Moreover, this is the territory of the Beast Taming Sect. Isn't he killing these people to make enemies with Fu Tianchou?" After hearing this, Senior Sister Jia couldn't help but praise: "This Senior Brother Jian Jue is really free and unrestrained. With him, the Guo family can be saved."
She completely forgot about Feng'er's death, and instead began to admire the strong.
At the same time, Ju Yunhai strode towards Cangjian Villa.
In fact, there is no need to enter the villa, as everyone has already seen people coming out of the villa gate one after another.
Seeing the Guo family members who seemed to be travelling far away with light luggage, Ju Yunhai stepped forward and said politely: "Master Guo, I am sorry for my incompetence and my failure to live up to your request. You asked me to help you find the Qingming Sword, but it is no longer possible."
Guo Yuanhuai instead bowed deeply to Ju Yunhai and said:
“Guo knows that the sword has fallen into the hands of Master Jian Jue. Although the Qingming Sword cannot be recovered, Master Jian Jue has promised to help us leave the Monster Forest.
This is all thanks to the efforts of you young heroes, how can you say you are incompetent?"
Ju Yunhai said: "But your request is for us to help you find the Qingming Sword, but the Qingming Sword is obviously not available now."
"A Qingming Sword is indeed precious, but as long as my Guo family survives, there will always be a chance for revival in the future. Moreover, the Qingming Sword has now become a Dao Sword. If it falls into our hands, it will only attract more people's covetousness. It is better for it to fall into the hands of Master Jian Jue, so that we can have a good relationship."
After hearing what he said, Ju Yunhai finally smiled.
Guo Yuanhuai added: "Young Hero Ju, please rest assured. After I leave the Monster Forest, I will write a letter to the elders of your sect to mention the contributions of you and others."
"Then I will not disturb Manor Master Guo on his journey. Now that Manor Master Guo has left the Monster Forest, it is time for him to use the spirit stones. I have not touched a single cent of the valuables in this storage bag. Please take it back, Manor Master Guo."
Ju Yunhai now returned all the compensation Guo Yuanhuai had given him. Guo Yuanhuai, who had survived a great disaster, thanked him and accepted the storage bag.
The two gangs were not traveling together because Guo Yuanhuai said that Jian Jue would escort them out of the Demon Forest, so Ju Yunhai suspected that Jian Jue was nearby.
It was obvious that Tian Lin and others did not want to meet Ju Yunhai again, so they waited for Guo Yuanhuai and his gang to leave first, and then rested for half a day before leaving Cangjian Villa.
"If Guo Yuanhuai really sends a letter to the sect to explain the situation, then even if we fail to get the Qingming Sword back, we have completed our mission."
After leaving the demon forest, Ju Yunhai said to Tian Lin and Senior Sister Jia, "Although this mission was not smooth, it was finally completed. There are still twenty days left. What are you going to do, Junior Brother and Junior Sister?"
Tian Lin didn't say anything, so Senior Sister Jia asked, "Brother Ju, do you want to take on another mission and consider joining Class A?"
Seeing Ju Yunhai nod, Senior Sister Jia continued, "However, to enter Class A, you must complete at least three tasks. Although we have completed one task now, do we really have enough time left to complete two more tasks?"
She added, "Besides, the easiest tasks are taken every month. The later you go, the harder the tasks you can choose. And even if you complete three tasks, you still need the approval of the peak master to enter Class A. I think I probably won't be able to complete the tasks, and Elder Xue won't agree to let me become a Class A disciple."
