JSCMU-Chapter 157: No One Can Take Her Away

“The Surging Wave Sword Intent… now that’s rather interesting…” An elder was just about to speak.

But Ji Wusi raised his hand and directly pressed down.

The elder instantly did not dare speak further.

Ji Wusi’s eyes were fixed unblinkingly on the screen. His expression was so serious that the others couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

What was so special about this footage?

Being able to grasp the Surging Wave Sword Intent was indeed impressive.

In the outside world, this would undoubtedly be a once-in-ten-thousand super genius.

But Ji Wusi himself has an Innate Sword Body, and over the years he had already seen countless geniuses. Not to mention, just those within Kunlun Sword Sect alone, there were already many young disciples who mastered the Surging Wave Sword Intent.

This was the fundamental Sword Intent of the Azure Lotus Sword Technique.

To master it was difficult, but in a place filled with geniuses, it wasn’t anything extraordinary.

Then, why was this girl drawing such attention from Ji Wusi?

Everyone was confused and focused even more intently on the water screen.

With the sect leader’s abilities, could it be that he saw something they did not?

Everyone couldn’t help but raise their alertness to the maximum, watching carefully.

Only Cang Li didn’t even spare a thought for why his master was so serious. His eyes kept fixed on the ring on the girl’s finger, his expression constantly shifting.

He would not forget something he once gave away.

And now, that ring appeared on this girl’s finger.

Could she be… a descendant of the Yun family?

Cang Li examined carefully. The sword she used was not Tai’a, but was an ordinary silver sword. For a moment, his mood became complicated again.

As expected, although Tai’a seemed full of potential, the cost of nurturing it was simply too high. This girl made the correct decision.

In the image.

The girl shouted dramatically, and her sword light soared skyward. The small rain cloud in the sky visibly expanded, and by the end, it grew significantly larger than before.

The image ended there.

It was only a few breaths’ worth of time.

“Play it again,” Ji Wusi said without hesitation.

So.

The recording stone played again.

The scene was not long.

Ji Wusi said again, “Play it once more!”

Again and again, by the tenth time.

Everyone’s expressions changed again.

What did the sect master see in this short clip to regard it so highly?

They widened their eyes and focused their full attention, watching over and over, but no matter what, they couldn’t see anything unusual!

Yes, this girl, who could grasp the essence of swordsmanship at such a young age and apply Sword Intent flexibly, was incredibly gifted and deserved a spot in the sect.

But…

This alone should not be enough for the sect master to be this shaken, right?

After another round, Ji Wusi fell into deep contemplation.

This time, he didn’t ask to play it again.

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, their gazes turning to Ji Wusi in unison, waiting to hear what the sect leader would say.

Ji Wusi thought for a long while. Suddenly, he looked at Cang Li, “When you saw this footage just now, your emotional response was also quite intense. Why? Did you notice something?”

Cang Li froze slightly, then answered slowly, “No, not exactly. Years ago, while traveling, I was ambushed by demons and almost killed. A man of the Yun family used a spiritual fruit passed down in his family to save me without hesitation.”

Ji Wusi raised a brow, “I remember you mentioning this. So, this girl—does she have ties to the Yun family?”

Cang Li replied honestly, “Indeed. The ring on her finger is the same one I entrusted to the Yun family.”

“Oh?” Ji Wusi became more interested. He flipped through some documents and said, “Canglan Kingdom, Tianxing Sect, Yun Jin. Looks like she’s a descendant of the Yun clan.”

Cang Li’s gaze flickered.

Back then, he wanted to repay the Yun family, but when he searched the entire clan, he didn’t find a single person with spiritual roots.

As a cultivator, getting involved with mortals would only bring them harm. So he left behind that ring. It contained three sword strikes that could save the Yun family from three life-or-death crises. If any descendant reached Foundation Establishment Stage, they would be able to open the ring and receive his gifts prepared for Golden Core Stage.

Now.

A descendant of the Yun family finally appeared. He finally had a way to repay that kindness!

Ji Wusi smiled, “It seems the Heavens intend for you to resolve this karmic tie. Cang Li, prepare to go to Tianxing Sect and bring this Yun Jin back to Kunlun Sword Sect.”

Cang Li’s expression shifted slightly, “Master, do you mean—?”

Ji Wusi maintained a mysterious tone, “Bring her here first.”

“Yes!” Cang Li no longer questioned. He rose and respectfully accepted the task.

He could tell.

His master placed great importance on Yun Jin.

No doubt, he would soon gain a little junior sister.

If so, he could look after her well, and that would count as repaying the favor to the Yun family.

“Go now. Canglan Kingdom is remote, so set out at once,” Ji Wusi ordered.

Cang Li responded, packed a few things quickly, and departed.

As for the curious looks from the others, Ji Wusi only smiled and said, “Go on now, all of you.”

The crowd understood, Ji Wusi had no intention of explaining anything. They had no choice but to suppress their curiosity and leave one by one.

But rumors quickly spread through Kunlun Sword Sect. The sect master took a liking to a certain girl and planned to take her as a disciple.

To ensure there were no mistakes, he even dispatched his most valued disciple to fetch her personally.

Who exactly was this girl?

The entire sect was abuzz with speculation.

Inside the room.

Ji Wusi secretly replayed the footage once more.

He paused it at the moment Yun Jin raised her sword, and suddenly grinned.

How many years had it been?

Oh Heavens!

He endured a millennia in this position!

Now finally, he could see the light of retirement!

Others couldn’t tell what was special about that footage. But he could.

Yun Jin’s starting stance was exactly the same as that of Qingxu senior who taught him Sword Intent in the dream!

Back then.

Qingxu Zhenren had an Innate Sword Body, left behind the peerless Azure Lotus Sword Codex before his ascension!

Only a few knew that the real inheritance was hidden within the Azure Lotus Sword Technique and Azure Lotus Sword Codex.

Only those with the Innate Sword Body can catch a glimpse of the Zhenren’s true appearance and witness the scene of the Zhenren personally demonstrating the Dao!

This Yun Jin grasped the Surging Wave Sword Intent, which by itself, was nothing special. However, when everyone practices the sword, they inevitably develop small personal habits. This Yun Jin, when drawing her sword, whether in angle or posture, was exactly the same as that Zhenren’s.

Others might not notice, but how could he, who had also seen the Zhenren demonstrate the Dao, not possibly recognize it?

This is because Yun Jin was still in the early stage of imitation, so she subconsciously mimicked the Zhenren’s movements. Even the small habits were copied along with them!

This proves that.

She, at this stage, had already seen the Zhenren demonstrate the Dao.

This also proves that.

She very likely has the Innate Sword Body that he was bitterly searching for all these years!

If not for fear of startling Yun Jin, Ji Wusi would’ve wanted to personally go!

However, since Cang Li has a connection with Yun Jin, it was best to let him go.

Cang Li, being his eldest disciple, was worthy of bringing Yun Jin.

Moreover, Ji Wusi still made preparations behind the scenes.

He secretly placed a Ten-Thousand-Mile Tracking Talisman on Cang Li’s body. If anything goes wrong, he will personally rush over!

This Innate Sword Body.

Can only belong to Kunlun Sword Sect. No one else can take it away.

Ji Wusi was confident.
