I Pick Up A Bunch Of Attributes Novel - Chapter 152
152 The Old Is Gone, The New Is Not Coming
This deep hole had appeared out of the blue. Moreover, it seemed to contain a mysterious power within that concealed its aura and interfered with external perception of it. As a result, even the young man’s Sword-Heart Integration did not discover its existence in advance.
“What… what’s going on?”
“I don’t even sense there is a deep hole here?”
As the young man fell from the sky while still in a daze, a series of panicked sounds came from the bottom of the deep cave.
!!
“Mo Yushu, be careful of what’s above you! Something seems to have fallen down!”
“Brother Ye, don’t worry. I don’t know everything about this ruin, but I know quite a lot about it. This is just the most ordinary phenomenon of something falling from a high altitude. From the sound of it, it might even be some kind of rare treasure…”
“But… that’s a human!”
“Get out of the way!”
At the moment Ye Yi shouted out a warning, the rapidly descending thin young man had already also adjusted his posture in mid-air. With a fierce yell, he unsheathed the sword at his waist and shot a crescent-shaped sword light towards the ground!
Whoosh—
Thud!
The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was accompanied by the sound of soil and rocks exploding. The thin young man finally collided with the ground. His sword split open a long scar on the ground, and he used the force to fly backward and landed hundreds of feet away.
Mo Yushu stood there in a daze in his original spot, watching a large tuft of hair slowly falling in front of his eyes.
“Brother Mo, you… are you hurt?” Seeing that Mo Yushu did not react for a long time, Ye Yi could not help himself from calling out.
“I’m not hurt.”
After being stunned for more than ten breaths, Mo Yushu shook his head in a daze. “But I feel a little cold on the top of my head. Do you think I’ve caught a cold?”
Looking at Mo Yushu’s current appearance, Ye Yi dropped his jaw.
He wanted to laugh, but Mo Yushu’s gloomy expression made him too afraid to laugh out loud.
The sword light that flashed past just now had happened to slash right above Mo Yushu’s head, cutting off a large portion of the hair on the top of his head. It made Mo Yushu’s current appearance look rather comical at the moment.
There was a bald circle in the middle of his head, surrounded by the hair that had managed to survive.
Ye Yi coughed a few times and forced himself to hold back his laughter before continuing, “Brother Mo, it’s just that your hair has been shaved off by the sword light. A man does not have to worry about not having hair. At most, this situation will only last for 10 days or half a month. Everything that’s lost will return…”
“It won’t return.”
Mo Yushu shook his head with a pained expression. He raised his hand and grabbed his sideburns. After a few tugs, he tore off the circle of hair around his head easily.
Mo Yushu shook it as he held it in his hand. From the side, it looked like a mess of kelp.
The originally gentlemanly Mo Yushu was now bald. He no longer looked like a young master of a noble family. Instead, he looked like a seasoned monk who had traveled the world and experienced the hardships of the mortal world!
Ye Yi’s mouth gradually widened. “This… this is…”
Mo Yushu’s face was filled with a look of pain. “The part that’s cut off just now is the last of my hair. The outer circle has never been real all this while…”
In fact, he had another secret that he did not reveal.
Back then, the reason why he accepted the secret mission and entered the Thousand Autumn Valley as a spy was because there was a spiritual herb in the mission reward. It was said that the herb had a miraculous effect on healing baldness!
However, at this moment, although the mission had not been completed, the spiritual herb had not been obtained and he had gotten himself trapped in the ruins, his hair… was already gone.
“This, this, this…”
Ye Yi’s mouth opened wider and wider. He suddenly came back to his senses and turned to look at the figure walking over. “Who are you?!”
He wanted to change the topic!
“Nobody.”
The thin young man shook his head and replied indifferently.
The moment the slave contract was planted on him, the power of the contract had erased everything about his real name from his memory. As a slave, he did not have the right to have a name that belonged to him.
Even though he had successfully taken revenge, he had not been able to regain his lost memories.
“If I plant these hairs at the beginning of spring next year, by autumn I might be able to…”
Mo Yushu’s face was filled with sorrow. He carefully put away the scattered hair on the ground and then looked at the thin young man with a stern expression. “I’ve seen you before, next to the Tianjue Sect Master.”
As he spoke, he had already grabbed the sword at his waist.
At the same time, Ye Yi and the others also reacted. They all took out their weapons and stared at the young man in front of them while on high alert.
Although they had received a secret letter from the sect more than a month ago saying that the battle had ended and that the Thousand Autumn Valley had turned the tide and obtained the final victory…
However, on the way back to the sect, they got themselves trapped in this ruin and had yet been able to find their way back.
Therefore, in the eyes of this group of Thousand Autumn Valley disciples, the Tianjue Sect was still an “enemy”.
“The people from Tianjue Sect have already found this place? It looks like the situation outside must be really terrible.”
Ye Yi’s expression was incomparably serious as he said slowly in a deep voice, “But no matter what, we are people of the Thousand Autumn Valley in life and ghosts of the Thousand Autumn Valley in death. No matter what methods you use, don’t expect us to submit!”
The thin young man was stunned. A smile finally appeared on his cold face.
“You’re talking about the Tianjue Sect Master? I’ve already killed him.”
“What did you say?”
Mo Yushu and Ye Yi were both stunned. Everyone’s mind was blown. “The Tianjue Sect Master… is dead?”
The Tianjue Sect had always been one of the Thousand Autumn Valley’s strongest enemies.
The Tianjue Sect Master’s magical power was extensive and powerful. Even though he was not as powerful as the old Sword King, he was still a strong enemy who gave people a headache.
In the end, this young man said that the Tianjue Sect Master had died in his hands!
“What’s happening outside?” Mo Yushu took a step back in confusion.
“If you’re asking about the Thousand Autumn Valley, the battle has ended long ago.”
The thin young man waved his hand and narrated the events in the outside world calmly, “The new Sect Master of the Thousand Autumn Valley killed the Primal Core cultivator. All the sects within the radius of a thousand miles had to submit to him. Even the Xuanwu Emperor issued an imperial edict, conferring the new Sect Master with the title of Protector Spirit King.”
“Oh, right. It seems that not long ago, the six elders of the Thousand Autumn Valley broke through the Dao Platform Realm one after another. Now, there are already six Champions in the valley. Even in the entire Xuanwu Kingdom, the sect can be considered the most powerful force.”
The group of people opened their mouths bit by bit.
Everything the young man said sounded like things written in the heavenly books to them!
“What, what, what?”
“What did you just say?”
“You’re not lying to us, are you?”
Why was it that they understood every sentence, but after putting them together, it became like a heavenly book that they could not understand?
“If you want to know if it’s true or not, why don’t you go out and take a look?” The thin young man shook his head in amusement.
“But… we’re trapped here and can’t get out.”
At the mention of this, the light on the faces of Mo Yushu and the others dimmed again.
The thin young man was slightly stunned. He raised his hand and pointed at a stone wall about a hundred feet away.
“But we can exit from here.”
