The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 3082 - 3057: Fotu Tower
Previously on The Unparalleled Sword Emperor...
"I thought... I was going to lose you again!" Lin Bai held Ye Suxin’s face and said earnestly.
Ye Suxin met Lin Bai’s gaze, clearly sensing the worry and fear in his eyes.
Such an expression was something Ye Suxin had never seen on Lin Bai before.
Even when Lin Bai faced the siege of Peak Martial Artists of the Wending Realm, there wasn’t such fear on Lin Bai’s face.
But tonight, after Ye Suxin was kidnapped and Lin Bai rescued her, standing before Ye Suxin now, his eyes showed fear.
Lin Bai was afraid!
Ye Suxin reached out to caress Lin Bai’s cheeks, softly reassuring him, "I don’t like seeing this look in your eyes, but I also really like this look."
"I don’t like the worry and fear in your eyes!"
"But I like that you worry and fear for me!"
"You made me feel that I’m not alone, that I’m not alone..."
Ye Suxin said softly, "Lin Bai, you know in the years I’ve read, there were no friends, no family, no one cared for me, no one ever loved me, no one ever protected me..."
"The years I’ve spent, all the memories are only blood and slaughter... "
"I never felt friendship... love... family... "
"I was just a tool once..."
"The purpose of my existence was to seek greater benefits for my family, to propel my family to higher peaks..."
"My existence was for slaughter..."
As Ye Suxin spoke, tears slid from her eyes.
Lin Bai said, "Are not all the children of the imperial family like this?"
Ye Suxin slightly nodded.
Tears fell from her eyes as Ye Suxin slowly stepped forward, gently resting her head on Lin Bai’s chest.
And Lin Bai held her tightly.
This was the first time since Lin Bai rescued Ye Suxin from the Great Witch Dynasty that they had such an intimate moment.
After some time, Ye Suxin emerged from Lin Bai’s embrace, smiling at him, "Tonight, don’t be that indifferent and unfeeling Sword Cultivator, and I won’t think of those past events."
"Tonight, let’s not concern ourselves with the dangers outside the Dew Pavilion."
"Not worry about the pursuit from the Poison God Clan."
"Not care about the slaughter within the Martial World."
"Tonight, let me just be your Ye Suxin, alright?"
Ye Suxin looked at Lin Bai tenderly.
"Alright." Lin Bai nodded with a smile.
The moonlight was enchanting, Lin Bai picked up Ye Suxin and walked toward a clean and tidy room...
...
Next morning at dawn.
After dressing neatly, Ye Suxin looked at Lin Bai with a light smile, "Rest well, I need to go see Xiao Yu, find a way to get some useful information from him, otherwise, won’t we always be chased by the Poison God Clan in the future?"
Lin Bai turned over and got up, saying, "I’ll go with you."
Ye Suxin shook her head and said, "Though you won the battle at Rouge Lane in Jiangshan City, you still have some injuries, focus on healing, I’ll be fine, besides Xiao Yu won’t dare to hurt me anymore."
Lin Bai silently nodded and said, "Alright, let me know if anything happens."
Ye Suxin slightly nodded, turned, and walked out, closing the door behind her.
Heading directly to where Xiao Yu was detained.
Outside a courtyard, Ye Suxin saw Lin Ye sitting idly inside, chuckled lightly, "Lin Ye, go rest, I’ll handle this."
Lin Ye glanced at Ye Suxin, nodded, turned, and left the courtyard.
Then, only Ye Suxin and Xiao Yu remained in the courtyard.
Xiao Yu curled up in a corner, looking up at Ye Suxin, hurriedly asking, "Miss, Miss, are you here to let me go? Is Brother Lin willing to let me go?"
Ye Suxin laughed lightly, "I can have Lin Bai let you go, but before that, I have a few questions I want you to answer."
"As long as you answer obediently, I’ll naturally let you go."
Xiao Yu nodded joyfully, "Alright, alright, ask away, I’ll tell you everything I know!"
Ye Suxin sat on a stool in the courtyard and asked in a low voice, "Ten thousand years ago, the Poison God Clan expelled a traitor named Zhao Yue, correct?"
Xiao Yu nodded, "Yes, it was the first time the Poison God Clan expelled a disciple from the Mountain Gate, and hunted her on the Barbaric Ancient Continent. This event caused quite a stir, even now, the clan members recall it vividly."
Ye Suxin said, "I want to know, after the Poison God Clan expelled Zhao Yue back then, they took away one of her Divine Soldier Weapons named... Fotu Tower!"
"Where is this Fotu Tower?"
Ye Suxin asked coldly.
"Fotu Tower!" Xiao Yu’s face turned even paler upon hearing the name.
Fotu Tower, one of the seventy-two Emperor Artifacts on the Barbaric Ancient Continent.
Legend says that this Fotu Tower is already damaged, yet even in its broken state its power ranks among the Emperor Artifacts; if it were whole, surely it would be on par with Divine Artifact level existence.
Ye Suxin coldly ordered, "Speak!"
Xiao Yu hesitated for a long time, unable to make a decision.
After an inner struggle, he eventually bit his lip and whispered, "Fotu Tower is not within the Poison God Clan."
"When Zhao Yue was being chased back then, she fled toward the East Continent, attracting not only the Poison God Clan but other powers as well."
"As Zhao Yue fled, she used Fotu Tower as bait, drawing in numerous warriors."
"And this Fotu Tower was seized by a tribe ten thousand years ago; later, when the Poison God Clan demanded its return, the tribe refused to surrender Fotu Tower."
"The entire tribe was exterminated by the Poison God Clan, and the tribe leader, with Fotu Tower, jumped into the Corpse Burying River."
"Fotu Tower entered the Corpse Burying River and its whereabouts have been unknown ever since."
Xiao Yu whispered.
Ye Suxin exclaimed, "Corpse Burying River!"
Xiao Yu nodded, "Yes, Corpse Burying River! Fotu Tower is in the Corpse Burying River, over these years, the Poison God Clan has sent experts to find Fotu Tower there, but all efforts ended unsuccessful and costly!"
"If you’re a Southern Continent Martial Artist, you should know the terror of this Corpse Burying River!"
Ye Suxin murmured softly, "Corpse Burying River... Corpse Burying River..."
Xiao Yu hurriedly said, "I’ve told you where Fotu Tower is, now should you let me go?"
Ye Suxin calmly said, "Don’t rush, I have one more thing to ask."
Xiao Yu asked, "What is it?"
Ye Suxin asked, "Where is Mo Qing?"
"Mo Qing!" Xiao Yu’s expression turned bewildered, cursing internally, why did Ye Suxin ask such difficult questions.
After a while, Xiao Yu still answered, "Recently, Mo Qing returned from the East Continent and has been secluding himself; the Poison God Clan ordered him, not to exit until he breaks through to the Wending Realm!"
"Considering Mo Qing’s talent, he should be nearing the breakthrough!"
