Chapter 1945 Master Of The Flash Cleave Axe
Lin Mu"s words made the two Head elders look at him in surprise.
"Did he find someone in the Serene Gla.s.s Valley that we didn"t know about?" Head Elder Heng wondered.
"Sometimes the affinity to higher Dao"s like the Yang Dao is only developed later, and as such cannot be detected early on… Did he… Manage to find someone like that here?" Head Elder Dajian thought to himself.
Whatever the option might be, the two were certainly very interested in finding out who that was.
After all, the number of experts who had an affinity to a complex Dao like the Yang Dao was very rare. Others could benefit from observing and learning from such individuals, as such, if there was someone like this in the Serene Gla.s.s Valley, it would be a collective boost for all of them.
But what they didn"t know was that Lin Mu wasn"t referring to someone from the Serene Gla.s.s Valley at all.
"Who is the person, Daoist Mu Lin?" Head Elder Heng questioned. "Who has the affinity with the Yang Dao that the Flash Cleave Axe thinks of as its master?"
"It actually isn"t a person at all." Lin Mu replied, much to their confusion. "This was also why it was hard for me to figure out. Or rather, hard for us to understand what the Flash Cleave Axe was referring to." He added.
"What do you mean?" Head Elder Dajian furrowed his brows.
"Before I can tell you, I must ask you to keep it limited to the three of us for now." Lin Mu stated.
Head Elder Dajian pursed his lips but understood that there must be more to it.
"I swear upon my honor as the head Elder of the Shuijing clan, this information will not go beyond these four walls." Head Elder Heng though readily replied.
He had spent enough time with Lin Mu to know what kind of person he was. Besides, he understood that if Lin Mu was being cautious; it was probably something that could be problematic to the Serene Gla.s.s Valley if it was revealed to others.
"I swear too." Head Elder Dajian said, seeing that his counterpart had done the same. "I at least owe this much, considering it was our creation that attacked you." He apologized for it.
Seeing that both the Head Elders had agreed to his request, Lin Mu decided to show them.
"Xiao Yang, come out." Lin Mu spoke, making the two head elders raise their brows.
The two watched on as a white flash appeared on Lin Mu"s hand. It suddenly elongated and turned into a long rope like object.
~HISS~
A second later, it became clear and they finally realized what it was.
"A Snake?" The two head elders muttered in surprise.
"MASTER!" The Flash Cleave Axe exclaimed as soon as it saw Xiao Yang. "That"s my master! Master, take me!" it shouted.
The two elders looked at the Axe and then at the small snake that was wrapped around Lin Mu"s hand.
The snake had white scales, that looked beautiful, along with a black spot that was on its head. The two couldn"t recognize what kind of snake it was, they only understood that this was a tamed beast.
"I heard that Daoist Mu Lin had a tamed beast, but didn"t know he had another one." Head Elder Heng said, seeing the snake that was gazing at the Axe.
~CLANG~ CLANG~
The Flash Cleave Axe had gotten restless now and pulled against its restraints.
"Release me! My master is here!" It shouted.
"It really is the snake?" Head Elder Dajian was stunned.
As a Weapon Forger, it was an unusual thing for him. While he knew Immortal beasts could use weapons too, it was usually the masters of the tamed beasts that gave them these weapons. And it definitely wasn"t something like a Peak Grade Immortal Weapon with sentience.
They would usually give some weapons that could help the beasts in combat. Or it was an armor that also had offensive capabilities.
Head Elder Dajian had heard rumors of some beasts using weapons just like humans, but he hadn"t experienced it personally.
Not to mention, the weapon didn"t even seem physically compatible with the beast in the usual sense. The Flash Cleave Axe thought of the snake as its master which had no limbs to speak of. Even if it used its immortal sense to use it, that would still limit the true power of the immortal weapon.
Any peak grade immortal weapon would never take on a master that couldn"t use them to their full potential. As such, it seemed a bit contradictory to him. But he kept his thoughts to himself and waited to learn more first.
After all, the Flash Cleave Axe was showing a very strong reaction to this.
"You can release the Flash Cleave Axe. I think it"ll be fine now." Lin Mu spoke.
"Very well." Head Elder Heng obliged and controlled the formations to release the rune chains.
~SHUA~
Head Elder Dajian did the same and dispelled the prism as well.
~SHING~
As soon as the restraints were lifted, the Flash Cleave Axe"s power returned. The two Head elders showed nervous expressions seeing that it was using its power, but soon calmed down once they saw the Axe staying stable.
"Go, Xiao Yang." Lin Mu spoke. "It wants you to be its master."
"Master? Axe?" Xiao Yang spoke, which could only be understood by Lin Mu.
"Yes. See if it"s a fit for you." Lin Mu replied.
"Okay." Xiao Yang said before flying towards the Axe.
~HUMM~
The two Head Elders and Lin Mu watched as Xiao Yang touched the handle of the Flash Cleave Axe with his tail. He wrapped it around the handle and gripped it with ease. However, the size disparity looked a bit awkward, as Xiao Yang wasn"t that much bigger than the Flash Cleave Axe.
"Finally…" The Flash Cleave Axe uttered in a satisfactory tone before a thread of energy rose from it.
It connected with Xiao Yang, confirming their bond.
