The Nine Skies Swordsman

Episodes 130. The War God Heir

While on his way to the White Tunjung College, Gofan told Lujiang everything that happened and asked him about the book that Lujiang wanted to steal from Shijie's reading room.

Lujiang was at first still reluctant to reveal what book he was about to steal, but in the end he said that the book he wanted to steal was the Book of the King of the Resurrection Realm.

As far as Gofan was concerned, the book that Lujiang was trying to steal was one that Shijie and her family studied. A book of Mental Energy that made his cultivation capable of controlling ghosts and corpses.

After one day of flying, Gofan and Lujiang arrived at the White Tunjung College.

***

[White Arborist's Training]

When Gofan arrived, he found Vasudev, Xunialiang, and Goxianlong already in the college. Yubing, Nian, and Meiling reportedly went to meet members of the Cambodian Flower Valley.

Gofan also received news from Mouhuli about the cooperation Lixiayo wanted to do with him, as well as the War God Inheritance Ceremony that would be held three days later.

***

Three days later, the War God Heiry Ceremony was finally held.

Although it was held lavishly and with long preparation, but only a few Martial Colleges attended the Ceremony.

"This is all because we've decided to shut ourselves off from the martial world, so there aren't many other college relatives who are willing to attend and can we invite." Said Duan Tianlang.

"Is this Monkey Fur Coat comfortable?" Imbuh Duan Tianlang when asked about the War God Coat that Gofan was now wearing.

"Very comfortable... Somehow I felt like I was getting stronger while wearing this Monkey Fur Coat. Thank you, Mahaguru." Gofan stroked the left shoulder part of the coat he was wearing.

"Help... Don't call me Mahaguru. Call me Senior. Now you are the owner of this entire college. No need to be confused. Come on, follow me!" Duan Tianlang said as he escorted Gofan to the front of the Ceremony Altar.

After Duan Tianlang delivered the word of welcome and opening, a series of ceremonial grooves were executed.

Moments later, Gofan was asked to pay his respects in front of the War God Statue that was next to the Ceremony Altar. The War God Statue was a gilded Tianyuan Statue as tall as an adult man standing gallantly next to the Ceremony Altar.

'Damn 'em... Did they replace the old statue? They made Lord Tianyuan's face look like that. Gofan, give me my message.. I want this statue replaced!' Haiwa complained from within the Twin Dragon Golden Scepter that was now placed on the Ceremonial Altar.

'OK I'll say.' Gofan's voice passed through his mind as he bowed in salute to the Tianyuan Statue.

Haiwa complained that the statue that was made to be symbolic of Tianyuan the God of War was still a monkey-like face. Whereas when he became a War God, Tianyuan's face was like a human in general.

After Gofan completed his homage to the Tainyuan Statue. The Twin Dragon Gold Scepter that was above the Ceremony Altar emitted a golden yellow light and flew around in circles over the Altar.

'Gofan. Put a drop of your blood on this paper! Thus, you have become the new heir!' Haiwa said as a golden-coloured paper scroll came out from the Twin Dragon Golden Sticks that were still spinning floating about.

Following Haiwa's words, Gofan took out the golden scroll and dripped a drop of his blood into the paper.

After Gofan dripped his blood, the golden paper scroll shrank and entered Gofan's forehead.

'this? Were they all the previous heirs?' Gofan's inner being as five figures of men who were also wearing the Ape Fur Coat appeared within his mind.

Shortly after the scroll entered Gofan's consciousness, five previous heirs appeared in Gofan's mind. Two of them were Tianyuan and Wukong. Gofan only recognized Tianyuan, while the other four including Wukong had only the first time Gofan had seen in his mind.

'Really Mr... They are the heirs before you, the one next to Lord Tianyuan is Lord Shabajie, then Lord Shancueng, then Master Wujangjie and the last one is Lord Wukong.' Haiwa introduced the identity of the previous heirs to Gofan.

Now that Gofan had become the rightful owner of the Twin Dragon Golden Scepter, Haiwa summoned Gofan with a Master's hand. It was a form of Haiwa's homage to Gofan as the Master of the new Twin Dragon Golden Scepter.

Not long after, the previously spinning Twin Dragon Golden Sticks floated above the Altar, stopping and sliding into Gofan's hand.

Seeing that the magic wand was now within Gofan's grasp, Duan Tianlang glanced and nodded slowly towards Kangkai. He told her to continue the ceremony.

"Give respect to the Heiry Young Master!" Kangkai exclaimed as he led the Elders and disciples to bow in salute to Gofan.

"Long-age Young Master Heir! Long live Young Master Heir! Long live Young Master Heir!" Duan Tianlang, Kangkai, Suezilu, Wuling, as well as all the elders and disciples of the White Arbor College and the Stick Sakti Party told Gofan.

Gofan bowed softly in return for the respect given.

After paying respects to Gofan. Duan Tianlang and Kangkai stepped over to Gofan.

"Young Master, since now that you have officially become the heir, then accept this." Duan Tianlang handed over a wooden token of the White Tunjung Institution identifier.

"Thank you Senior." Sahut Gofan while storing the wooden token into his Dimensional Ring.

"Now we will enter the challenge session. Is the Young Master willing to accept the battle challenge as proof of the pride of the new owner of the War God Scepter?" Asked Duan Tianlang.

"certain. No problem." Sahut Gofan while swinging several times the Twin Dragon Golden Stick that was in his hand.

"Alright Sir. We're gonna start now." Duan Tianlang.

"Carcass.. Continue on!" Imbuh Duan Tianlang to Kangkai who was standing next to him.

"Good Brother." Sahut Kangkai before he went to the top of a Podium near the Ceremony Altar.

"For those who dare to pose a challenge, go ahead!" Kangkai Imbuh.

A veiled girl got up from her seat and stepped forward onto the podium.

"I'm Shiyuxin, the Princess of Ghost Town, challenging the Heir Young Master! If I win, you must fulfill your responsibility and return my ring and mirror!" Point Shiyuxin at Gofan.

'He? How did he know I was here?!' Inner Gofan when he was shocked to see the presence of Shiyuxin.

Shiyuxin had just arrived at White Bow School. He arrived just before a golden roll of paper entered Gofan's forehead. Surprisingly, although Shiyuxin had sat down for quite a while and watched the course of the ceremony, not a single one was aware of her presence.

Everyone present at the ceremony was shocked to see and hear Shiyuxin say. Most of them did not understand the accountability of what Shiyuxin had asked Gofan. Only Lujiang, Vasudev, Mouhuli, Duan Tianlang and the other friends of Gofan knew about the events in Ghost City.

"Haha...Greetings Princess.. It is an honor for us, the Ghost City Leader's daughter can be present at this ceremony..." Duan Tianlang.

"We apologize for not being aware of the Princess's previous arrival, so we did not give her a proper welcome... And regarding the accountability issue, we do not understand at all. Could there be a misunderstanding?... This is a Holy Ceremony, please Princess do not mix things up with anything else." Imbuh Duan Tianlang represented Gofan.

Duan Tianlang helped Gofan to cover up the fact that it was indeed Gofan who had won the Shiyuxin matchmaking contest by disguising himself as Yanse.

Personally, Duan Tianlang was against it. He did not agree that the owner of White Tunjung College should have the wife of a ghost controller and a corpse like Shiyuxin.

In addition, Gofan's age is also very young. Therefore, Duan Tianlang helped Gofan quibble about his victory in the matchmaking contest.

*Zyuut*A middle-aged man in all-white clothes with strange makeup appeared right next to Shiyuxin. The man was none other than Shijie, Shiyuxin's father.

"Haha.. Congratulations Senior Tianlang. Congratulations because a new heir has been found... I feel very lucky, this new Young Master Heir from your college is willing to marry my Daughter, after this ceremony of course." Shijie said shortly after he appeared on the podium.

"Young Master Heir has entered a matchmaking contest for my daughter a few days ago. He disguised himself as a young swordsman of the Jade Bamboo College and won the matchmaking contest, right not the Young Master?" Imbuh Shijie while looking coldly at Gofan.

Gofan was surprised to hear Shijie's words suddenly appear on the podium.

"Haha...Thank you Mr. Shijie. Thank ye. But, there seems to be a misunderstanding here. Our Young Master has just come out of closed-door training, how could he possibly enter the matchmaking contest you are referring to?" Duan Tianlang's voice was still on the pretext of representing Gofan.

"Senior Tianlang, you don't need to quibble anymore to protect your new Young Master's deeds. I asked your Young Master. He's not mute, is he? Let him answer!" Shijie ketus.

Duan Tianlang turned his head towards Gofan. Gofan nodded and stepped onto the podium. Duan Tianlang followed behind Gofan, he followed Gofan up the podium.

"Greetings to the City Lord, Greetings to the Princess." Gofan said when he arrived on the podium.

Shiyuxin and Shijie nodded softly replying to the greetings from Gofan.

"I really don't understand what City Lord means. These few weeks, I did seclude myself in closed-door training. How could I enter a matchmaking contest?..."

"If the Master and Princess want to make a mess at this ceremony, there is no need to make false accusations like this to me!" Imbuh Gofan with a gaze that was no less cold towards Shijie.

Lujiang, Vasudev, and Mouhuli who were sitting watching the ceremony, smiled when they heard Gofan's words.

"Heh... It turns out that the new Heir of the God of War is a liar!.."

"Everyone present at the contest clearly saw that the magic wand in your hand was used by someone named Yanse.. I'm sure, it's your disguise." Shiyuxin again pointed towards Gofan.

"Oh.. It turns out that the young swordsman from Jade Bamboo College is the Swordsman Yanse..."

"I remember, he borrowed my wand a few days ago... I didn't think he'd use my wand to enter your matchmaking contest..."

"Misunderstand. This is completely misunderstood." Gofan shook his head.

"You!!" Shiyuxin was angered to hear Gofan still quibbling.

"Give me my Moonlight Mirror! I'll prove that you lied!" Shiyuxin.

"Mirror of Moonlight? I told you you guys misunderstood. I don't have the mirror you mean... I just have this mirror..."

" I call it the Reflection Mirror of the Sun's Light." Gofan smiled as he pointed out an ordinary mirror and pointed it towards the sun that was shining hot that afternoon.

"good. You still dare to make fun of us..." Shiyuxin said as she formed a hand seal.

*Blazh*A young male spirit appears next to Shiyuxin.

The young man's spirit lowered its head, his long unraveled hair covering his face, so that his face was not clearly visible to Gofan.

"How now?" Shiyuxin's hand gripped the young man's spirit neck.

"If I strangle her until her spirit is destroyed, then she will be completely dead. Confess or he dies!" Shiyuxin.

As Shiyuxin choked the young man's spirit neck, the young man's spirit groaned in pain. His face was clearly visible to Gofan.

'Yanse!?' Gofan was surprised to see the spirit of the young man who was now being strangled Shiyuxin turned out to be the spirit of Yanse.

Seriate...
