Chapter 383 Father and Son
The setting sun slowly sets, like an old man helplessly approaching the end of his life.
In this silent valley, everything was silent until footsteps stepped in, breaking the silence.
Wang Quan Baiye stepped into the 'Sword Tomb' and looked at the place where the shadow that had weighed on Wang Quan for hundreds of years was broken by his father's single-handed hand. A few ripples appeared in his calm eyes.
He walked forward, looking at the countless swords stuck in the ground. Even though the sun had already set, the swords still shone with a cold light.
Some of the swords were already covered in rust, while some still shone with a cold and sharp light. Some were intact, while others were broken into several pieces and stuck in the ground at various angles.
This place is like a tomb where swords are buried.
In the past, this place was the most majestic and prosperous place of the king, and it was also the place where the most outstanding members of the king's clan gathered. Now, it is desolate and empty, with no one in sight.
Wang Quanbaye took a step forward, but soon stopped.
In front of him, a white-haired old man was sitting cross-legged with his back to him. The old man was thin and dressed in the noble clothing of the head of the "Wangquan" family.
Next to the old man, there was an ancient long sword. Before he could see it, a sharp sword was already piercing towards him, making his eyes hurt.
As if sensing someone coming, the old man turned his head.
"Father."
Wang Quan Baiye bowed his head and spoke respectfully.
The old man's face was old and covered with wrinkles. Time seemed to have left heavy marks on him, except for his eyes, which were extremely sharp.
This old man was none other than Wang Quan Shouzhuo, the current head of the Wang Quan family.
Wang Quan Shouzhuo's old body slowly stood up, and Wang Quan Baiye hurried forward to support his father.
Letting his son support him, Wang Quan Shouzhuo pointed to this place and said, "Do you know this place?"
"This is the 'Sword Tomb', once the place where the Wang Quan family's swordsmanship was protected."
Wang Quan Baiye spoke seriously.
"Yes! It was once the place where the Wangquan family's swordsmanship was protected."
Wang Quan said in a low voice, "Once upon a time, this place was home to all the elites of the Wang Quan family. They studied swordsmanship together and promoted Wang Quan's swordsmanship as the strongest swordsmanship in the world."
But at some point, this place began to become arrogant and began to think that the sword art studied in the "Sword Tomb" was the orthodox sword art of the royal power, and that all those who practiced sword in the royal power had to develop according to the sword art of this place.
But the way of the sword has always been determined by people.
When Wang Quan Wumu, the most outstanding swordsman in the Wang Quan family for thousands of years, stepped out of his own swordsmanship, he was considered by the "Sword Tomb" to be rebellious and on the wrong path. As a result, the swordsmanship genius that appeared only once in thousands of years in the Wang Quan family died.
Afterwards, it seemed as if God was punishing Wang Quan. In the following hundreds of years, there were rarely any sword geniuses in Wang Quan.
In fact, no one from the royal family could lift the royal sword.
Until, he, the king, appeared.
"I grew up here and learned swordsmanship here. The Sword Tomb once had high hopes for me, believing that I would become its master, someone capable of leading the royal power to its peak again and carrying forward the Royal Power swordsmanship here."
Wang Quan Baiye was listening attentively, but he didn't know there was such a story. He only knew that his father disbanded the "Sword Tomb", and the shadow that had cast a shadow on Wang Quan for hundreds of years was completely dissipated.
"But just like my ancestor Wang Quan Wu Mu created his own sword path, I, too, have my own sword path, different from the 'Wang Quan' sword path here."
The old man raised his slightly cloudy eyes and looked at Wang Quan Baiye.
"So, father disbanded the 'Sword Tomb', allowing every member of the royal family to pursue their own sword path, and I, your son, can also freely pursue my own sword path."
Wang Quanbaiye also spoke, with a look of pride in his eyes.
"But do you know when I started to disband the Sword Tomb?"
Wang Quan looked at his son modestly.
Wang Quan Baiye frowned slightly. He didn't know much about these things.
"It is to learn all the sword arts of the Sword Tomb, and even reach a higher level than those here."
The old man stood with his hands behind his back, then turned around and looked at his son with anticipation in his eyes.
Wang Quan Baiye did not see his father's expectation, his eyes were just excited. Now, he also wanted to pursue his own sword path.
Seeing his son like this, Wang Quan Shouzhuo sighed in his heart, but he could also understand that he was the same back then.
But his son is different from him. His swordsmanship is flawless, while his son's swordsmanship is indeed flawed.
But the son couldn't see anything.
Everything went so smoothly for him, and he had never really experienced any real setbacks. If he could not get over it once he encountered one, he would lose his swordsmanship, and from then on, he would find it difficult to make any further progress in the way of the sword.
"I hope you take over the 'Royal Power' and settle down for a while, just like I did when I spent many years studying hard in the 'Sword Tomb'."
Wang Quan Shouzhuo finally laid it out and spoke directly.
"Father."
Wang Quan Baiye raised his head and looked directly at his father: "I just want to follow my own sword path."
Wang Quanshouzhuo looked at Wang Quanbaiye quietly.
The king's hegemony did not give up in the slightest.
The air seemed to be silent at this moment.
"Are you really going to go 'outside the circle'? Are you really determined?"
Wang Quan sighed lightly.
Wang Quan Baiye's face showed shock. He founded "Mask" to seek the truth of the world in order to reveal the secrets of "outside the circle". He always thought that this was a very secretive matter, but he did not expect that his father would reveal it.
"'Outside the Circle' is not as simple as you think. The danger level is a hundred times greater than when my father dismantled the 'Sword Tomb' with just one sword."
Wang Quan Shouzhuo spoke again.
Wang Quan Baiye never thought that his father knew all this. Although he felt distressed, he still looked up with a stubborn look in his eyes.
Wang Quanshouzhuo did not give up, but drew his sword directly.
"'Outside the Circle' is a hundred times more dangerous than 'Sword Tomb'. If you want to go 'Outside the Circle', you must first defeat this old man's sword."
Wang Quan Baiye hesitated for a moment, but he also drew his sword, and said in a heroic tone: "Father, you are old."
"Cough cough..."
Wang Quan Shouzhuo couldn't help but cough violently. Under Wang Quan Baiye's worried gaze, he suddenly burst into laughter: "If you can't even beat an old me, don't even think about going outside the circle."
"Father, I am sorry for the offense."
The king's hegemony also involves drawing his sword, and the young man shows his sharp edge.
"I said I haven't seen you for a while, how dare you come to see me, but your wings have become stronger now?"
Wang Quan Baiye smiled and said, "Father has never been to the 'Outside Circle'. What exactly is the situation outside the circle? How can you say that the dangers outside the circle are a hundred times greater than the 'Sword Tomb'?"
Having said that, Wang Quan Baiye straightened his body and said, "Even if 'Outside the Circle' is a hundred times stronger than 'Sword Tomb', so what? I will still go there."
