Chapter 129 A ray of hope
"The reason I say that the Four Directions Sword Alliance is the key to saving Xingchuan Region is that, as the youngest fourth-rank force in Xingchuan Region, the Four Directions Sword Alliance is like the rising sun, full of vigor and vitality, and the people here are more willing to change Xingchuan Region."
Secondly, because of the existence of the Four Sword Saints, his swordsmanship talent was extraordinary and his swordsmanship was unparalleled. However, although he was revered as a sword saint by the world, he had not actually reached the true level of a half-saint.
However, he is the most promising person in the entire Xingchuan Domain to become the second person to achieve the rank of Half-Saint after the Seven Luminaries Star Saint!
"Only by enabling the Four Sword Saints to become true Sword Saints within these ten years can the Xingchuan Domain be truly saved!" the white-robed youth said with utmost seriousness.
After the young man in white finished speaking, Shen Xu was momentarily stunned, looking at him as if he were joking.
“I’m very familiar with that expression of yours!” the young man in the Taoist robe said with a smile.
"You want me, a mere Qi Cultivation Realm cultivator, to help the Four Directions Sword Saint advance to the Half-Saint Realm!" Shen Xu suddenly found it somewhat amusing, but he also admitted that if the Four Directions Sword Saint could truly become the second Half-Saint of Xingchuan Domain, then it might actually be possible to resolve the crisis in Xingchuan Domain.
But the white-robed youth shook his head and said, "It's not about letting you, nor about letting us, but about letting the entire Four Directions Sword Alliance help the Four Directions Sword Saint achieve the true title of Sword Saint!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Xu immediately became interested. If the white-robed youth could really help the Four Directions Sword Saint become a half-saint, then why would he run away? Wouldn't it be better to cling to the Four Directions Sword Alliance?
"I still have the same question. Since you have a way to help the Four Directions Sword Saint break through to the Saint Realm, why don't you go directly to the higher-ups of the Four Directions Sword Alliance? They would definitely be extremely grateful to you. Why come to me?" Shen Xu asked in bewilderment.
"Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed! However, I can tell you that the method to help the Four Sword Saints break through to the Half-Saint realm lies in this Sword Selection! It lies among us!" the white-robed youth said mysteriously.
"How confident are you?" Shen Xu asked after thinking for a moment.
"Not even a fraction! But it's definitely not zero!"
After the young man in white finished speaking, he looked at Shen Xu with sincere eyes, and the three people in the room fell into an unprecedented silence.
After a moment of silence, Shen Xu asked seriously, "What do you want me to do?"
Upon hearing Shen Xu's answer, the young man in the white robe and the young man in the Taoist robe immediately burst into laughter.
"No rush, we haven't introduced ourselves yet. Stargazer Zuo Chen!" the white-robed youth said with a smile.
"Wuji Sect, Yuan Wuwei!" the young man in the Taoist robe also spoke.
"Shen Xu of the Green Bamboo Sword Sect!"
"From now on, the three of us will be considered a small team. Now that we have formed a team, we need to first determine the goals that our team wants to achieve."
"Our team's ultimate goal is to help the Four Sword Saints achieve the Saint Realm, thereby saving Xingchuan Domain from its dire straits. I am willing to go through fire and water for this, even at the cost of my life."
After Zuo Chen finished speaking, he extended his right hand. Then Yuan Wuwei also extended his right hand and placed it on Zuo Chen's palm. He then solemnly said, "Xingchuan Region is my hometown that gave me birth and nurtured me. I will protect her with my life!"
Shen Xu looked at the two people who were extremely solemn, straightened his expression, and placed his right hand on Yuan Wuwei's palm. "I don't have the same level of awareness as you two, but I will try my best to help you within my power!"
After Shen Xu finished speaking, the two looked at him but didn't say anything more.
"I will select more people to join later, but not too many. I will select all the members of our team before the Sword Selection begins. At that time, I will tell you all what we need to do in this Four Directions Sword Selection!"
"How can I find you?" Shen Xu asked.
"See you at the foot of the Heavenly Sword Tower tomorrow at noon. With your help, I think it will be easier to persuade the rest. It's too late today, and your soul looks very weak. You should rest more these next few days," Zuo Chen said with concern.
"Don't worry, I understand my own physical condition. I'll take care of it and won't delay your plans," Shen Xu replied.
Zuo Chen emphasized seriously, "I don't want to use you as tools in my hands. You are all living, breathing people with feelings and needs."
If possible, I hope we can become a true team, helping and growing together, rather than a disorganized group forced together by a shared goal, forever separated and adrift.
“I think I understand what you mean, but these things can’t be rushed. Feelings are cultivated little by little, and you can’t gather everyone’s hearts together with just a few simple words,” Shen Xu said in a deep voice.
"Of course I know that, but I hope that from today onwards you can raise any needs within the team, instead of having one person solve them. What might be difficult for you could be easily solved for someone else, and that's one of the reasons our team exists."
"Alright, I'd like to ask if you know anyone named Su Jing? He holds a very high position in the Four Directions Sword Alliance," Shen Xu asked the two of them.
“Su Jing? I’ve never heard of him, but I can ask around for you. Since he holds a high position in the Four Directions Sword Alliance, it should be easy to find out about him,” Zuo Chen replied.
Shen Xu said seriously, "I have a grudge against him, and it's very likely that it will be a fight to the death. If you know his identity and feel that it will affect your plans, you can remove me from the team. I won't have any complaints about you."
“Shen Xu, you are irreplaceable among the people I have chosen. Since you have a grudge against Su Jing, we will all choose to help you deal with him instead of abandoning you. After all, we are a team!” Zuo Chen replied with a smile.
Yuan Wuwei also emphasized, "Zuo Chen is right. When it comes to the greater cause of saving Xingchuan Domain, I will not hesitate to eliminate anyone who stands in my way!"
After listening to their words, Shen Xu couldn't help but smile. "You should find out Su Jing's identity before you say such things to me! I hope you'll still want me to stay in this team then."
"Alright, I'll show you our determination." Zuo Chen replied before leaving Shen Xu's room with Yuan Wuwei.
After Zuo Chen and the others left, Shen Xu lay on the bed and sighed softly. His original goal was to escape Xingchuan Domain with Wang Bo, but how did it turn into saving Xingchuan Domain by two madmen he had only known for a short time? And he himself had become one of the madmen.
Helping the Four Sword Saints achieve sainthood seems a bit ridiculous. He himself doesn't understand what he was thinking back then. But let's see what Zuo Chen plans to do first!
Anyway, he didn't plan to escape Chuanyu in the next few years, so he might as well follow Zuo Chen to complete his plan. Maybe he would succeed! After all, Zuo Chen also said that the possibility was not zero!
At this moment, Shen Xu suddenly noticed that the moon outside the window seemed a bit strange, as if it had suddenly become much bigger. He remembered that it was a crescent moon last night, so how did it suddenly become a full moon!
