C17 Sword and Spirit!
"Is she talking to you?" Chen Yuan stiffly twisted his neck and asked Liu Xiaoxiao.
Liu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and shook her head firmly. "She must be talking to you."
"Dad, Mommy." The innocent little girl blinked her big eyes. She first looked at Liu Xiaoxiao, then at Chen Yuan, and finally at the black sword in Chen Yuan's hand.
"Dad!" The little girl opened her arms and threw herself into Chen Yuan's embrace.
As a Body Cultivator, Chen Yuan's body was almost unaffected by such a small impact, but at this moment, his heart had suffered a huge blow!
"Why did I suddenly have a daughter?" Chen Yuan almost cried.
"It seems to be so." Liu Xiaoxiao expressed her sympathy, but she soon couldn't laugh anymore.
The little girl threw herself into Chen Yuan's arms and twisted her head. She looked at Liu Xiaoxiao with her watery eyes and called out tenderly, "Mommy!"
"Cough, what's your name?" Chen Yuan lowered his head and looked at the little girl who was pulling on his body and refused to let go.
"Kang! Na!" The little girl seemed to be very excited when she saw Chen Yuan talking to her.
"Cough, are you sure it's called Kang Na? What kind of strange name is this? Is it really not called 'Qiu Huai', 'Qiu Qiu', or something like that?" Chen Yuan asked tentatively.
Kang Na saw that Chen Yuan was suspicious, and her small mouth immediately pouted. Her big eyes were filled with tears.
"Chen Yuan, how did you become a father?" When Liu Xiaoxiao saw that Little Kang Na was about to cry, she immediately stood on her side. Even though she had a strange daughter, Little Kang Na was still adorable.
"What do you mean by how I became a father? I..." Chen Yuan's voice suddenly became three times louder.
"I was wrong." In the end, he still lost to Kang Na's teary eyes and Liu Xiaoxiao's furious eyebrows.
"Kang Na, did you come out from here?" Chen Yuan decided to change the topic. He pointed at the black longsword in his hand with his left hand and asked.
"Kang Na came from that place. Kang Na is a sword spirit." Kang Na said excitedly.
Sword spirit? Was it the spiritual consciousness that existed in the magic weapon? However, Kang Na and the spirit in the book seemed to be different.
"Aren't the spirit's bodies non-physical souls? Why would Kang Na..."
Chen Yuan asked Liu Xiaoxiao. She looked at him with a helpless gaze, indicating that she didn't know either.
"Alright then. Can Kang Na go back?" Chen Yuan decided not to dwell on the previous question and asked again.
"Kang Na doesn't want to go back. Kang Na wants to be with her parents." As Kang Na spoke, she hugged Chen Yuan with both her hands. Although this amount of strength was indeed insignificant for a Body Cultivator.
Kang Na probably felt that she was too willful. Before Chen Yuan could speak, she suddenly let go of his hand.
Under the watchful eyes of Chen Yuan and Liu Xiaoxiao, the mysterious and complex array pattern appeared under her feet once again. A black light flashed, and Kang Na's small figure instantly disappeared from their sight.
"Kang Na?" Chen Yuan asked tentatively.
"It's here!" The black sword in Chen Yuan's right hand flashed with a black light, and a voice came out.
"Forget it, it's better to come out. It's a bit strange to talk to a sword." Chen Yuan said, "Then what about the Gloomwraith just now? Was it devoured by you?"
Although they did not know how the Gloomwraith, Lu Xing, had lived, it was formed from the resentment of the dead.
Fortunately, it had only taken shape for a short period of time, so it did not pose any threat.
If it had not come out of its own accord, even Chen Yuan and Liu Xiaoxiao would have forgotten about it.
Kang Na's feet flashed with black light as she appeared in front of them once again. She shook her head with all her might. "No, it's not Kang Na who ate it. It's it."
As Kang Na spoke, she pointed at the black sword in Chen Yuan's hand.
The black sword devoured the Gloomwraith? As the sword spirit, Kang Na was unable to control it?
"Don't think about it anymore. If the matter of the Gloomwraith can be resolved, it will save us a lot of unnecessary trouble. We should immediately set off. Before the reinforcements of the mastermind arrive,"
"You're right. It's time for us to move." Chen Yuan nodded and agreed with Liu Xiaoxiao.
After saying that, the two of them carried Liu Xiaoxiao like they did when they were running away.
Kang Na, who had been watching them, did not want to be outdone. She leaped lightly and landed on Chen Yuan's shoulder. The black sword also flew up with her.
Kang Na took out a simple sword sheath from somewhere and placed it on Chen Yuan's back, just in time to place the black sword.
After looking at the Sunsetwood Grove that was in ruins, Chen Yuan turned around and disappeared into the distance at an extremely fast speed.
...
Sunsetwood Grove, ruins.
Yu Bai's corpse lay there quietly without moving at all.
It was getting late, and a thin figure suddenly appeared in the distant horizon. If someone was here, they would definitely find that the figure was almost identical to Yu Bai, who had died.
The only difference was that Yu Bai was wearing white clothes.
When the figure appeared, he was wearing black clothes.
"How could he die like that? That was too low. Attacking a mere Sunsetwood Grove cost so much cultivation, and he was defeated by a lowly Body Cultivator in the end. How sad."
"You should know how terrifying the blood in the bones of the Vast Sea Nation's scum is." At this moment, a white figure came out from the ground and appeared in front of the man in black.
"It's such a pity that we didn't manage to capture that traitor of Vast Sea Nation alive. Otherwise, his body would definitely be of extremely high research value, and my lord would definitely be very satisfied. Also, the daughter of the Pavilion Master of the Celestial Archives will definitely attract the Pavilion Master to appear if we capture her."
"As long as they are still alive, there is no place in this world that we can't reach. It's just a matter of time."
"Your incarnation is too useless." The man in black thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Creating so many incarnations is also a very exhausting thing." The man in white seemed very calm.
The corpse of Yu Bai, who was lying in the middle of the ruins, had already turned into a piece of white cloth.
With a gust of wind, the white cloth floated up from the ground. After the white cloth, the two white and black figures that had originally appeared also disappeared at the same time.
It was as if they had never appeared here before.
Only the ruins that were still swaying in the wind and rain were left. There were broken fragments everywhere, as well as the sparse forest that had lost the cover of the huge Sunsetwood.
After thousands of years, perhaps another Sunsetwood would appear here. It would be even taller and more beautiful than the one before.
However, there were some things that would be gone forever.
