Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 2671: Chapter 2671: Hypocrisy

"There will always be someone who pays the price for their foolishness." The Swordsman appeared beside Julius Reed at some unknown time.

He looked at Emperor Azure River in the room, and at the Nine Provinces King who had left the room, with a calm smile.

As if everything was under his control.

"Are you curious whether that tripod really has that effect?"

The Swordsman rarely asked Julius Reed a question.

This was precisely the doubt in Julius Reed’s heart.

He desperately wanted to know what exactly happened during that disaster back then!

The means that annihilated the martial arts world were those of the Heavenly Dao.

Could it be possible that the Swordsman represents the will of heaven?

How strong must one person be to be as strong as heaven?

If that’s really the case, then why does the Swordsman need to go through such trouble? Why not just kill the people he wishes to kill and change the rules of the world?

"This is one of my questions." Julius Reed nodded: "Perhaps, I am more interested in hearing your explanation."

He did not respond.

Because his answer would have no significance.

If the Swordsman wants to speak, he will definitely speak.

If the Swordsman does not want to speak, then no matter how he answers, it will be useless.

The initiative is simply not in his hands.

"Haha, you’re quite correct." The Swordsman clasped his hands behind his back and looked towards Emperor Azure River in the room: "Sometimes, it’s not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster."

"You mean..." Julius Reed sensed an unusual undertone in this statement.

"I’m just a person, but I have lived a bit longer. The world is too vast! Some issues cannot be changed in a day or two. Some issues cannot be resolved by killing." The Swordsman turned and left Emperor Azure River’s room, heading to the Nine Provinces King’s private resting place.

"I don’t have the ability to alter the world’s trajectory, but I can adapt to the circumstances, utilize people’s psychology to achieve my own goals."

He walked with a vigorous stride.

Julius Reed followed behind, constantly contemplating the words of the Swordsman.

Initially, he only wanted to know about his own ancestry.

But now, it seems to have changed.

He didn’t know when it started, but Julius Reed no longer cared about who he was.

He no longer cared about what he had done before.

Instead, he wanted to know what really happened back then?

What did this Swordsman do?

As scenes flashed continuously, Julius Reed witnessed the Swordsman kill his sworn brothers, then killed the woman he loved.

Next, Julius Reed saw the past and present of Seven Gem Slope, completely shocked!

He didn’t imagine that Seven Gem Slope was actually guided by the Swordsman in front of him.

Even more unexpected was that the Swordsman could foresee that after countless years, someone would actually rescue Seven Gem Slope!

If all this was predicted, leaving Julius Reed shocked greatly.

Then the most surprising, or somewhat incomprehensible despite having lived for so many years.

Probably is...

This Swordsman had left wealth for himself back in the era of Seven Gem Slope.

The remnants of telekinesis in that grand hall were precisely what the Swordsman left for Julius Reed.

He even foresaw that Julius Reed would absorb all the power here!

This implies that at the very least, even when Julius Reed was within the Twin Dragon Jade Pendant, attempting to save Quella Radcliffe by entering and extracting her soul, finally replacing her to obtain this cultivation technique, it was within the Swordsman’s calculations!

Terrifying to the extreme!

This could mean that his current entry into the Swordsman’s memory was already planned a long time ago.

"Does it mean that I’m now one of your pawns?" Julius Reed suddenly asked.

"You only realized now!" The Swordsman unfastened the wine gourd at his waist.

Though not certain if it’s due to the previous tripod given to Emperor Azure River, his tripod this time is completely different.

Julius Reed’s pupils contracted sharply!

This... is actually the Divine Dragon Tripod?

Identical to the Divine Dragon Tripod at his waist!

Rather than the treasure being guarded by Emperor Azure River currently.

"I actually don’t want it to be this way." Julius Reed forced a smile: "But at the very least, you let me know that I’m not you. Thus my journey wasn’t fruitless."

His previous assumptions turned out to be wrong.

And wrong in such a ridiculous manner!

The Swordsman’s designs made Julius Reed feel he might not be just one person.

But an embodiment of some force.

How could such tasks be accomplished through human capability?

It is simply unbelievable.

Yet, at present, these things indeed occurred.

"Have you ever heard that a true chess master might be a pawn himself?"

The Swordsman chuckled, casually remarked.

"A person who can make use of even himself, what can’t he utilize?"

After saying this, Julius Reed fell momentarily into a daze.

What does this mean?

Could it be that the Swordsman is also possibly himself?

But he knew the Swordsman would not speak.

Some things always require self-exploration.

What others say may not be true, and even if true, he might not believe it.

The world is indeed magical like this.

Human nature, precisely so.

"You can freely come and go? They can’t see you?" Julius Reed inquired.

"This is my memory, I can appear anywhere."

The Swordsman stopped walking, and with a swift gesture.

Swish.

It was like a ripple of water in front of them.

Directly revealing the room of Emperor Azure River previously.

Emperor Azure River is a virtuous man.

He trusts the Nine Provinces King.

It can be said that River Azure is the greatest good, the purest good in this world.

Whereas Blood Soul is the purest evil, ruthless in pursuit of goals in this world!

"King, Blood Soul wants to form alliances through marriage, there must be a motive." None King stood beside the Nine Provinces King, reminding: "There’s definitely an agenda!"

"But this person is extremely insidious. If we refuse them, how would we handle the revenge that may follow?" Another person expressed concern: "We don’t fear those who come openly, but Blood Soul Emperor is powerful and insidious, he is the most troublesome opponent."

At the mention of Blood Soul, everyone’s face showed concern.

"Seems news leaked, Blood Soul knows there’s treasure here." Nine Provinces King took a deep breath.

"Could it be..." None King’s eyes slightly quivered.

"Blood Soul Emperor and River Azure were once one entity, only the three of us know this. If neither of you disclosed it, then the only explanation is that Blood Soul sensed Azure River’s presence here and perceived the secret of that tripod." The Nine Provinces King was very worried: "If this thing falls into Blood Soul’s hands, there might be a great disaster in the world!"

"You know that Emperor Azure River is a righteous man, he trusts me completely. The item is there, he never guards against me, and he doesn’t carry it with him."

After speaking, the Nine Provinces King went silent.

"If this thing falls into Blood Soul’s hands, there will be immense suffering! King, for the greater good, your sacrifice is nothing!"

None King immediately understood the Nine Provinces King’s intent.

"Indeed, you have acted for the sake of many." Another person also spoke to persuade.

"Your subordinate will handle it! You know nothing about this!" None King directly rose, entered the room, and took the tripod away.
