Chapter 72: Tai'a Sword Body, Soulless Sword

After the second half of the night, Yang Chong completely digested the true energy and true essence contributed by many disciples of the Nong family, and his strength was further improved. Now he also had time to deal with the affairs of Jiang Yi and his wife.

"Uncle Jiang, there are some things we need to talk about." Yang Chong said to Jiang Yi's family in the living room which had not yet returned to its original state.

"Young Master, you..." Jiang Nu, who had been in a daze for some time, opened her mouth, but was covered by her mother.

"Ms. Jiang, don't listen to this matter. Go to the backyard and help that person, otherwise she will burn down the kitchen." Yang Chong said.

"Ms. Jiang, please go ahead. Your father and I have some important matters to discuss with the young master." Ms. Jiang's hesitation was met with her mother's urging.

"Okay then." Jiang Nu was a little reluctant, but she had no choice but to listen.

The young master's father died. As a caring little maid, Jiang Nu could understand Yang Chong's current mood very well. She was still thinking about how to comfort her young master, but her mother didn't give her any chance at all.

Besides, I understand the young master's world less and less. Jiang Nv walked to the backyard with a sad face and felt confused about her future for the first time. Can't I even be a maid?

After Ms. Jiang left, the living room fell into silence.

Facing Yang Chong, both Jiang Yi and Jiang Meng felt a heavy pressure. Yang Chong could even kill Yang Lin, so how could he be merciful to them?
As for Jiang Nu? The Jiang family couple didn't believe that Jiang Nu's importance in Yang Chong's heart could surpass Yang Lin's.

But the current situation did not allow them any room to struggle. After Yang Chong wiped out all the disciples of the Nong family, they had already understood that even if the two of them were tied together, they would never be Yang Chong's opponent.

What's more troublesome is that Yang Chong's thoughts are unpredictable now. They have no idea what Yang Chong will do. Now they can only pray in their hearts, praying that Yang Chong will not kill them all for Jiang Nu's sake. But, does Jiang Nu really mean that much to Yang Chong?
While the Jiang couple were silent, Yang Chong suddenly pulled out the long sword on the table. The couple was startled and thought that Yang Chong was going to attack them, but for a long time they did not see Yang Chong take the next step.

The couple then looked towards Yang Chong, only to see that Yang Chong was holding the sword in one hand and holding it upright in front of him.

The sword was extremely long, more than four feet long including the hilt, and three fingers wide. The sword spine was thick, with a mysterious inscription imprinted on it, as if it was made by nature. It was not sharp, but it had a natural power. It was the sword that Yang Lin used to kill the enemy last night.

Tai'a! Yang Chong's eyes followed the sword to the end, and the integrated golden characters appeared in front of him. This was a sword that shouldn't be here.

"Is this sword Tai'a?" Yang Chong asked Jiang Yi. He didn't necessarily know more about the secrets of the Lu family than Jiang Yi.

"It is the legendary sword of great power, Tai'a." Jiang Yi was still in doubt, but his wife Jiang Meng took the initiative to answer Yang Chong's questions.

"I remember that the Taia sword was in the hands of Confucianism, and the Taia sword was thick and short, wide and simple, not a long sword like this." Yang Chong said.

The Tai'a Sword did not become the Emperor's Sword of Ying Zheng in Tianwen, and now that Canhong cannot transform into Yuanhong, it has the reputation of being the best sword in the world. It is very famous, and is also the sword of the leader of Confucianism. Its style is vaguely superior to the famous sword of Taoism, but in Yang Chong's memory, it is not the one in his hand.

Although the sword in his hand was also quite heavy, the blade was extremely long. It did not have the broad back and short body like the Tai'a sword in his impression, and the sword rhythm was not obvious. Although it was also a precious sword, it was not worthy of the title of a famous sword. Could it be an imitation?

"This sword is indeed Tai'a, but it is only half of Tai'a. The other half is the Confucian one." Jiang Meng said.

"A sword has ever been divided into two?" Yang Chong asked in surprise.

"The sword in the young master's hand is the Taia sword, a soulless sword." Jiang Meng explained.

"This sword was originally in the State of Chu, and later acquired by the State of Jin. When it appeared before the world again, it had become the sword of the leader of Confucianism. What happened between its journey from the State of Jin to Confucianism?" Yang Chong sheathed the sword.

"Back then, Duke Chu of Jin was dissatisfied with the monopoly of power by the three nobles of Zhao, Wei, and Han, and fled from Jin. The first place he came to was Qi. In order to seek help from Qi, he presented the Tai'a sword to the young master's ancestor, Duke Ping of that year." Jiang Meng told Yang Chong about the origin of the Tai'a sword. "Then why did Tai'a become two swords, the sword body and the sword soul?" Yang Chong asked.

"Duke Xuan made a bet with the head of Confucianism. The head said that he could take the Tai'a sword away without touching it. Duke Ping didn't believe it, so he made the bet. But Duke Ping never thought that the head of Confucianism could use the Confucian spirit to attract the mighty soul of Tai'a and actually take the sword away without touching it. Then he reforged the sword body for Tai'a and injected the mighty soul into it, and thus the Confucian Tai'a was created. Nearly two hundred years have passed since the body and soul of Tai'a were separated." Jiang Meng said the secret about the Tai'a sword.

"So that's how it is. I never thought there would be such a story. Duke Ping of Qi was deceived by the head of Confucianism." Yang Chong shook his head and laughed. In the story just now, Duke Ping of Qi was not very smart, but the royal family of Qi at that time was indeed getting worse and worse.

"Young Master..." Jiang Yi tried to hold back, but finally couldn't help it. What exactly did Yang Chong want to do?

"Uncle Jiang should know that I am just Yang Chong, not Lu Chong, and certainly not your young master." Yang Chong waved his hand to stop Jiang Yi who was about to say something else.

"Young master knows everything?" Jiang Yi said in surprise but also with a sense of relief. Only in this way could he explain what happened last night. But how did Yang Chong know the truth, and where did he learn such terrifying martial arts?

"I know everything I should and shouldn't know. The matter of Xiliu Village ends here. I will leave here tomorrow, and you should leave too. The farmers have suffered such a big loss, which will only make them more certain of our existence. The next person to come might be the head of the farmers' family, or even those six old guys." Yang Chong said. Xiliu Village was just his starting point. Now that he has mastered martial arts, he can go anywhere in the world and naturally will not stay here anymore.

"Leave?" Jiang Meng was stunned when she heard this. Yang Chong's decision was beyond her expectations. In her opinion, no matter what Yang Chong's considerations were, he would not let them go so easily.

If Yang Chong minds Yang Lin's previous deception, then as they are Yang Lin's men, Yang Chong may not let them go. If Yang Chong wants to make the fake look real and confirm his identity, killing them to silence them is a better choice. No matter what Yang Chong plans, they are unlikely to survive.

But now Yang Chong told them to leave? Is Yang Chong a kind-hearted person? That was a terrible joke. Didn't they see how Yang Lin and the people from the farmer's family died?
"After all, you are Miss Jiang's parents, so let's forget about the murder. Besides, although Yang Lin only has schemes against me, I have been raised by him for so many years. Resentment is resentment, gratitude is gratitude. I might as well fulfill his wish this time." Yang Chong said.

"Fulfillment?" Jiang Yi couldn't believe it, and it was even harder to understand.

"Isn't it just for the sake of Qi Fu? No, to be more precise, it should be Lv Fuqi. What a vulgar name. Fu Qi? It's been two hundred years. The Qi State today is no longer the Qi State of the past. So what even if it is restored?" Yang Chong mocked. He sneered at the so-called national restoration cause of the Lu family and his son. For more than ten years, they only knew how to plot against a young boy who knew nothing in a village. They really thought they were wise and far-sighted.

"Restore him?" Jiang Yi opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

"If he doesn't come to bother me, I'll pretend he doesn't exist, but if he wants to bother me, I might as well give him a ride." Yang Chong said.

"Qi Fu is just Qi Fu, definitely not Lv Fuqi, and we only have one young master." Jiang Yi wanted to say something, but his wife Jiang Meng stood up and knelt in front of Yang Chong in Jiang Yi's shocked gaze.

"What are you going to do?" Jiang Yi was shocked when he saw his wife's actions.

"Aunt Jiang, please stand up. There is no young master here. There is only Yang Chong." Yang Chong helped Jiang Meng up. No wonder the woman in front of him could always control Jiang Yi. This decisiveness and determination were not comparable to someone like Jiang Yi. This woman was not simple.

"The young master is the young master. Only the young master is the successor of the six tribes of Emperor Yan and the true descendant of Taigong." Jiang Meng ignored Yang Chong's refusal, as if she had confirmed Yang Chong.

At this time, Jiang Meng was very clear that compared to Lu Fuqi's bloodline, Yang Chong was the one who could decide the fate of their family. Moreover, her daughter had a better relationship with Yang Chong. From this point of view, she had reason to rely on Yang Chong. What's more, Lu Fuqi was not qualified to be compared with Yang Chong. Lu Fuqi's advantage was just that he had a surname.

But is that surname really that important? A surname without strength is just empty. Only when that surname has enough strength to support it can it have its own real value.

Lu Fuqi couldn't do this, but Yang Chong could.

"Yes, this world is so wonderful, how can there not be a name that belongs to us." Yang Chongdao agreed with what Jiang Meng said. Although there was nothing false in his asking the Jiang couple to leave, it was also a test to see if the other party would be able to board his ship in the future.

At this time Jiang Yi also reacted and understood why his wife made the current move. However, this man was not as decisive as his wife after all. While he was still hesitating, Jiang Meng had already offered her loyalty.
