Chapter 13: What Should Happen
Both the academian and Bai Shanshui were not ordinary realm sevens . Just now, to block Bai Shanshui’s attack, the old academian, Du Qingli, had suffered a sweep of his own sword essence . He only had a wound on his left brow but the sword essence reached his brain and gave him serious damage .
His body had lost control of most of its parts . But he was a real grandmaster, one that had still managed to survive after the years of slaughter in Changling .
Facing the seventeen green water beads that had taken sword form under Bai Shanshui’s control, his black eyes quickly turned faint gray .
Invisible grey energies streamed out of the cracks in the black rock above his head and surged into his body . His body did not change and felt like it was expanding rapidly .
The small swords the seventeen green water beads formed suddenly collapsed and fell from the air to the ground like scattered sand .
Bai Shanshui took a step back . Rock cracked silently under her feet, the cracks spreading outwards like a giant spider net .
Du Qingli’s face was half covered in blood but strangely calm .
He had cultivated in this Great Floating Water Prison for many years . In a sense, this was his world . He did not believe he would not be a match for this junior .
Bai Shanshui frowned deeply . A glowing and colorless water droplet silently appeared in front of her, but floated motionlessly as though it did not know how to pose a threat to this old academian .
While Bai Shanshui was being obstructed by Du Qingli, the water level in Zhao Si’s cave started to lower . The yin river water that had surged up momentarily due to water pressure started to fall back down . The waters fell, the stones appeared .
In Zhao Si’s gaze, an old man was standing on a protrusion on the rock face that was shaped like an eagle’s beak .
This old man dressed in blue robes, had petite features and a long face .
Facing Zhao Si, this old man looking down at her even had a stronger presence than she . He was the other imperial academian who guarded this place, Du Hongtan .
The Du two brothers had once been among the best young talents of Changling long ago in the past . People could rarely rival their cultivation speed . Yet the personalities of the two brothers were completely different .
Du Hongtan was relatively direct and rough . Seeing Zhao Si whose body was falling with the water, he spoke rudely, “Child, this is Changling, this is Changling’s most well-guarded prison, this is also our home . Is this where you should come?”
After the water fell down, it was air, but at this time, Zhao Si was standing in the void . Steam rose under her feet and supported her small but powerful body like a lucky cloud .
As Du Hongtan spoke, she rose up . “If you did not enter the Zhao, why would I have come here?” She looked directly at Du Hongtan and said righteously and without anger, “You first entered my home . ”
Du Hongtan shook his head in disdain and said, “Regardless, now you are in my home . ”
His words were arrogant and unreasonable . But he called someone like Zhao Si, who represented the Zhao Sword Furnace, a child . It was already arrogant and unreasonable .
“It is rude to not say a greeting . This can only be solved by the sword if you cannot understand . ”

Zhao Si had risen to Du Hongtan’s height, but as she spoke, she was still rising . Her lifebond sword had been destroyed in the past Wei River battle, yet the desperate straits caused her to see a new world . A hot sword essence came out of her body as she attacked .
A red line appeared on the base of the enormous monument ahead of her . Then this enormous monument of unknown weight was broken . The seal lines in the monument shone with light again, but this time, they were not flowing with cold starfire, but a hot lavlike red flame . The enormous monument started to turn red and boil .
This enormous monument became her sword, and smashed towards Du Hongtan opposite her .
Du Hongtang was arrogant and unreasonable towards her . So her reaction would be even more arrogant .
Seeing this enormous sword fall towards him, Du Hongtan’s expression grew serious . He sighed sincerely . “The cultivators of the Zhao Sword Furnace are really rare geniuses in the world . When you broke this formation in an instant, you sensed all the seal lines when fighting the starfire contained within . And only cultivators of the Zhao Sword Furnace have such spirit to wield a sword like this . ”
As he spoke, this enormous monument sword reached him . The enormous monument was red all over as though it would melt at any moment . The high temperature caused his hair to dry immediately and start burning .
He reached out with his hand . Black energy fell down from the rock above like black sand and fell towards his arm . His sword pressed on the hot enormous monument .
Whines emerged from within the monument like giant iron ships rubbing against each other . The entire monument abruptly stopped .
Du Hongtan’s body did not even waver . His body was extremely small compared to the monument, yet no rock fragment even fell off from under his feet . The black energy coming out of his hand bore all the force .
Black sand continued to fall down from the rock above, and bore this unreasonably arrogant Zhao Sword Furnace sword .
Zhao Si stood with her hands behind her back . Her index and middle fingers were together and pressed against the monument .

The monument slashed downwards like a sword . Her body was above the monument . She pressed all the power of her body and the weight of the monument towards Du Hongtan .
Du Hongtan stopped this blow easily . She frowned and sneered . “I had not expected the academian of the Changling imperial palace to not cultivate the sword, but these ghostly tactics . ”
Hearing her mocking voice, Du Hongtan shook his head and laughed . “Child, do notforget, when I achieved fame, Yuanwu and that person had not been born yet . At our time, was Changling the world of swordsmen?”
Zhao Si did not argue . She recalled this was the truth . Also, she had mustered her full power, any extra word would be difficult for her .
But Du Hongtan was still relaxed . He looked sympathetically at Zhao Si who had reached her limit . He said, “The Great Floating Water Prison existed from the time of the previous dynasty . Countless powerful cultivators died, full of injustice . In terms of the so-called ghostly arts, where in Changling is more suitable than here? From the start, I reminded you this is the Great Floating Water Prison, this is my home … As long as I am here, I will be the strongest . You used up a lot of energy to defeat the monument . How can you win against me now?”
More black sand started to fall . The enormous monument started to rise and press towards Zhao Si .
The Dongling Army started to form formations outside of the Great Floating Water Prison . The leading commander thought of Bai Shanshui’s air when she spoke to him, and his expression remained uncertain .
In the deepest part of the water prison, footsteps sounded and Shen Xuan’s figure appeared in the deepest cell .
Seeing him, sitting like a rotten lotus pad at the center of the water, Lin Zhujiu laughed .
“You understand whatI mean now?”

He looked at Shen Xuan who remained expressionless .
“Bai Shanshui may not win against Du Qingli, Zhao Si cannot be a match for Du Hongtan . I do not know how you can laugh so happily,” Shen Xuan looked at the smiling Lin Zhujiu and said coldly .
Lin Zhujiu’s smile did not fade and said, “I laugh because you made a good choice . ”
“There is no choice . ” Shen Xuan looked down and said coldly and with a powerful presence, “If you want to laugh outside, you need to at least defeat the two academians, and win against me . ”
His words were hard to understand . But at this time, an unusual presence came from a cell very close to this place .
A powerful and indestructible presence .
That cell contained Zhao Shiwu who was on the verge of death .
The Great Floating Water Prison would not let people die, but would not let those on the verge of death get stronger, especially realm seven cultivators and above . Especially grandmasters stronger than usual grandmasters .
But the presence coming out of that cell caused many people to feel anxious and terrified again .
Shen Xuan’s eyes did not change . This seemed to be something that should be happening .
