Legend of Swordsman; Xiuhuan

The Mystery of Lake Yu Xiao

Xiuhuan was walking in an indeterminate direction in Yu Lan City, only this time he was really heartbroken by Women and thought maybe Lou Xue from the beginning did not like him.

“From the heartache, I heard Xia Mei eloped later. She is quite pretty hehehe ..” Xiuhuan laughed gigglingly. “First, just say first learn cultivation—after that tease him slowly and become wani—”

“Master Xiuhuan!” Suddenly a familiar voice sounded in Xiuhuan's ear and he looked back. “Where are you going?” ask again.

“Prince Hou!” sahut Xiuhuan's. The prince with a mediocre, but extremely muscular face was approaching him. “I went for a walk because again, it was a storm with my wife,” said Xiuhuan with his leisure.

“Oh, how about we drink wine at Yu Xiao lake in the south of Yu Lan's city.” Prince Qin Hao wanted to comfort him.

Qin Hao knew Xiuhuan was sad because Lou Xue seemed to like her brother. It was once he experienced, when his fiance preferred to be with Qin Tianlong when he found out that his brother was much more handsome. However, he did not want to bother about it and looked for another woman who was the eldest daughter of the Yu Clan.

“Actually I don't like drinking wine. However, right now let it be a mouthful and I want to ask you a few things as well. Looks like we can be friends in the future,” Xiuhuan said with a warm smile, making the face of Qin Hao's wife who was standing next to him turn red.

Realizing his wife was hypnotized by Xiuhuan's good looks. He then asked her to return first to their residence.

“Master Xiuhuan, I say goodbye first!” exclaimed Qin Hao's wife shyly while holding her five-year-old daughter.

“Well, be careful on the road!” sahut Xiuhuan's.

“You escort my wife alone, me and lord Xiuhuan will take a short walk," Prince Qin Hao said to the knight who escorted him.

“Good Prince Hao!” they cupped fists to show respect and followed Yu Rou.

Prince Qin Huo bought a few bottles of wine from the gambling house they passed by. The knights who happened to be inside the gambling house immediately scattered when they found out who came was Prince Qin Hao.

Xiuhuan smiled at the sight and they continued on their way to the lake Yu Xiao—sit both looked up at the stars in the sky.

“I wonder who your Second Prince is? Does he support King Qin Song?” ask Xiuhuan.

“Ah, he is dead,” Qin Hao said showing a sad face. “This rebellion occurred after the second brother was killed by the first Brother. The second brother was too kind, he always protested why the Kingdom drew tribute that strangled the people. However, the first brother offended and beheaded him.”

Xiuhuan nodded and watched closely the moonlight that bounced into Yu Xiao lake.

“Is there a legend or myth about this lake?” Xiuhuan was curious, for some reason he felt that something great was stored in the lake.

“I don't think Mr. Xiuhuan. However, before the city of Yu Lan stood this lake has existed and the water does not recede or tides, despite heavy rains or long droughts,” said Yu Lan astonished to see Xiuhuan walking towards the lake and smiling.

“Why are you happy lord Xiuhuan?” Qin Hao knew, Xiuhuan must have found something great.

Prince Qin Hao was confused as to what Xiuhuan was looking for and why he was so excited. However, he will keep his mouth shut, because he does not want to create an uproar. Fear later the Yu Clan or Prince Qin Tianlong suspected there was a treasure of Karun down there.

Qin Hao felt Xiuhuan was not hostile towards him, in contrast to his older brother who seemed to be disliked by Xiuhuan. He watched his surroundings by circulating spiritual energy around Yu Xiao lake and no one saw Xiuhuan enter the lake. He hurriedly returned to his home.

Yu Rou who had not slept was astonished to see her husband's behavior. He knew something must be wrong, as Qin Hao directly pulled the blanket and closed his eyes.

“Did something happen to you guys at Yu Xiao lake?” search Yu Xiao.

“Nothing happened?” sahut Qin Hao's. “However, Mr. Xiuhuan went out of nowhere and he said don't tell anyone. I want to ask, he's gone.” Prince Qin Hao lied.

“Hmm, that's weird! Did he return to the Heavenly Temple Sect, huh?” Yu Rou guessed.

“Not discussed anymore. Remember don't tell anyone,” said Qin Hao.

Lou Xue looked up at the stars in the sky, suddenly not feeling Xiuhuan's existence anymore. He disappeared in the lake visible from the room of the Yu Clan Residence which was that tenth level building. He took a deep breath and closed the window. Xia Mei had slept first in bed, since she could not cultivate anymore, she also went to sleep.

Xiuhuan saw the bright light within Yu Xiao lake, getting more and more in—but the light still felt far away.

“What is this lake in?” muttered Xiuhuan who had performed the merging technique with the Electric Eel Sword Spirit, so he was like a half-eel human at the moment.

Xiuhuan turned his head upwards and the sunlight vaguely pierced through the lake. He was very surprised, it signified the middle of the day, because the position of the sun was upright on the lake Yu Xiao.

“The lake is very deep, even though I have dived at high speed.” Xiuhuan continued to dive and was surprised to see the palace in the water. “Real from here that light source?” xiuhuan murmured into the palace.

As he was about to go inside, suddenly a kind of Shield blocked his way.

“Hehehe .. this kind of thing where it might be able to block this handsome eel.” Xiuhuan grinned and took out the Electric Eel Spirit Sword. “Freedom Round Wave Water!” Xiuhuan pierced the invisible Shield.

Xiuhuan seemed to be sucked in and appeared on an Altar with a pattern of red and black goldfish biting each other's tails.

“Altar again?” Xiuhuan smiled. “The World Below is indeed full of mystery. The altar in the Heavenly Temple Sect was connected to the Qingyun Sect. And where is this connected to? Is it straight to heaven?” Xiuhuan watched the white building with a very high foundation.

There were no living creatures there, nor any treasures or heirloom weapons. There was only a straight passageway as far as the eye could see before him.

Xiuhuan returned to his human form and used the Lightning Step style to dart forward. Just in case, he was holding the Electric Eel Spirit Sword, where knew there was an unexpected attack.
