Chapter 167 167: The Chosen One





A figure suddenly entered the room. From his clothing, it could be inferred that he The man had an anxious expression on him as he stood in front of Randell. "Milord, I have urgent news to report."


Randall turned to face the man in front of him. However, the man seemed to hesitate even more when Randall\'s stern eyes glared at his. "..."


Randall\'s thick brows creased and asked, "What is it?"


Seeing Randall\'s seriousness, he cleared his throat and continued. "It\'s about Miss Rea. She has been found missing from the Hall of Inheritance."


"What?! When did this happen?! The inheritance supposed to last for a minimum of six months! That\'s impossible! Tell me what truly happened!" Randall\'s rage drove his aura to be awakened! Profound sword intent could be felt from his gaze alone!


"Sir, please calm yourself. This happened a week ago. According to the guards present, they noticed the door of the Hall of Inheritance slightly open. This morning, the prior guards were just done with their shifts so the newly arrived guards thought that someone might have snuck in the hall when the shifts changed. Fearing that an assasin entered in an attempt to slay the misstress, they charged in. But what they saw was an empty room. The King\'s Sword Stele was still there and other than the disappearance of the Twin Calamity Swords, every manual and cultivation technique was intact." The messenger quickly informed his master of the events which happened.


He continued after inhaling a mouthful of air, "The elders quickly responded to the reports of the guards and investigated the matter personally. They were shocked to find out that there were traces of our ancestor\'s, Dual Sword Domain! The elders~"


"Wait! What did you say?! Dual Sword Domain! But that is the highest art of the ancestor\'s sword art, Unrivaled Twin Swords! It took him exactly two years of seclusion on the Forbidden Ground, Ten Thousand Sword Grave, to master it! Are you telling me that my daughter did it in just two months?!" Randall could not contain himself when he heard how talented her daughter was.


"Yes, my lord. The elders could not believe it at first. But they could not doubt the judgement of the Grand Elder, who similar to the Clan Head, also comprehended the Dual Sword Domain." The messenger was secretly stunned when he saw the flushed expression of his Clan Head.


"Ku... ku..." Randall was suddenly quivering which greatly shook the messenger prompting him to inquire, " My lord, are you okay?"


"Ke... Kahahahahaha! With the Grand Elder vouching for it, how can I still not belive it? Having such an achievement, I can finally say that my daughter is finally able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Victor Thunder and Princess Elizabeth!" Randall laughed heartily as a rare wide smile appeared on his handsome face.


"Ah..." The messenger looked blankly. He could not belive what he was seeing before him. The always-serious Clan Head was laughing out loud? He understood that Randall was happy for this great news but he was really taken aback at this moment! He even thought the clan leader will never laugh at all.


Sensing the awkward gaze of his subordinate, Randall realized how inappropriate his actions were. He actually lost his composure and laughed like a fool. He embarassingly coughed and changed the subject, "Ahem... Did the elders already find out about my daughter\'s whereabouts?"


"As of now, there is still no news regarding Miss Rea\'s location. The Grand Elder also said that the trace has already been there for a week already and with the mistress\' cultivation already reaching Breaking Demarcation two weeks ago, she would have already went really far by now." The messenger\'s said with sorrow.


"What were the guards doing?! My daughter has already been missing for a week yet they only noticed it now! What incompetent fools! What if something happens to my daughter?! I will slaughter them all myself!" Randall said with a vicious glare.


"Urgh..." The messenger was not weak. He was already at the Heavenly Connection Realm. To most people, he might have already been a terrifying expert but he felt like an insignificant ant in front of Randall. \'The rumors were true! Clan Head has already reached the Immortal Saint Ream! From his stable and vast aura, he must have stepped onto it for quite some time now.\'


"Honey, calm down. Remember that Rea has the Calamity Sword. You can find her with the True King Seal." A melodious voice could be heard along with the arrival of a fairy like silhoutte. A brown haired mesmerizing woman suddenly called out while her soft delicate lips opened. This woman looked almost exactly like Rea however her figure was more devilish and slender and her face was more mature and prettier. Her beauty could even rival Rose and Elizabeth!


"My lady." The messenger quickly faced and humbly greeted the brown haired woman. The woman merely smiled in response.


"That\'s right! Leya, you\'re a life saver! How could I forget! I had the answer all along! As long as she is within the country, I can find her! True King Seal, locate the ancestral swords!" From his storage ring, Randall took out a squarish ruby the size of a hand which inscribed the word, \'Cross\', on it and injected his blood essence. The ruby then iluminated and started to create a squarish hologram above it.


\'The True King Seal left behind by King Jiro as the mark of the patriarch of the clan like other True King Clans. It was also made to help his descendents locate the ancestral swords in the event, it was snatched or lost. It is also said that a spiritual imprint from the king was left behind within it.\' The messenger seemed to recall a writing as he witnessed Randall activate the True King Seal.


The next moment, the ruby flashed a 2D map of the entire Mystical Clouds and zoomed into the Mystic Red Cloud State. With their location as the center, a tiny \'x\' mark materialized on top of the True King Seal and floated towards the map and landed at a spot not far away from the mountain range and the Soaring Cloud City.


"This..." The three could not believe their eyes when they saw the location that the \'x\' landed onto. It was merely seven kilometers away from the mountain range! They all knew what the \'x\' represented and that was Rea\'s location.


"She\'s close?" Leya Cross\' beatiful ruby eyes squinted in shock. She spread out her imkortal sense and saw her daughter standing in a debris filled grass field. She could even see the melancholy and sorrow in her eyes.


She pondered, "Why would she come here though? Did she know about the Immortal Tomb? But if she went out without notice, the elders could not have informed her of the Immortal Tomb. The matter of the Immortal Tomb has been kept into secret to the public and only the top ten sects of each Inmer Proximity Cities of the red state were informed.\'


"Maybe she just missed her mother after she was done with accepting the inheritance. But, why is she standing at an empty lot not far from the city? Hehe, I want to hug my cute little daughter right now if I could." As she murmured, her gaze wandered to Randall\'s trembling figure. Finding his actions strange, she asked him worriedly, "Honey, are you okay?"


"Okay? I\'m more than okay! I am in cloud nine right now! Hahahahaha!" Randall happily grinned.


Seeing her husband look so happy, a beautiful smile broke out of Leya\'s supple lips and chuckled, "I can understand that you are happy you found your daughter but aren\'t you overacting, honey?"


"Overacting? My beautiful wife, it seems that you have not yet grasped the situation completely." Randall stopped laughing and approached his wife. He softly held her cheeck and smiled lovingly


"There you go again. Acting all mysterious. Are you keeping secrets from me? What have I not grasped yet?" Leya cutely pouted.


"My wife, let me ask you a question. What did the Tomb Spirit say before opening the Tomb of Lord Maelstrom?" Randall softly spoke.


" It stated that the \'the fated is near. Those who seek the treasures of old shall be given a chance. The trial has begun. The Tomb of Maelstrom Sword Immortal will now open!\'. What does that have to do about your foolish grinning earlier?" Leya quickly quoted and questioned back.


"And, where is our daughter?" Randall replied similingly.


"She is just a few-. Wait! Are you saying that our daughter is the fated one the Tomb Spirit is referring to?" Leya was taken aback from the realization she just had.


"Indeed." Randall nodded slowly.


"But could it not be just a coincidence? She is only at the Breaking Demarcation Realm. Even at her top speed, it would at least take her ten days to make it here and the Grand Elder said that her traces were only a week old. It may be too hopeful of us to assume that she is the fated one." Leya was still unsure of this conjecture so she decided to pry further.


"Coincidence? My wife, how could you compare our daughter with a regular person. She has already comprehended your Melodious Gale Sword Art which greatly enhanced her speed to a frightening extent. Not to mention, the exceedingly pure energy and sword intent she cultivates. If she really went full speed, she could have reached this place in four days at the very least. Thus, even if she travelled leisurely, it is only reasonable for her to arrive here in more or less a week." Randall calmly explained to her wife.


"My lord, please forgive for my impudence but there could have been other geniuses who could have been recognized by the Tomb Spirit, could it not?" The messenger was dumbfounded by the sudden twist of the topic so he could not help but voice out.


"Exactly." Leya concurred.


"It could have been. However, I have already went throught the list of the possible candidates of the inheritance earlier who just arrived today. There were only three possible geniuses. If we consider the hypothesis that Tomb Spirit could have done that to incite confusion, there could be ten possible inheritors. But could anyone of their talent compare to Rea\'s in the path of the sword?" Randall finally released the big qiestion.


"But..." Even though she already felt the possibility, Leya still wanted to deny it. Because if her daughter was truly the fated one, then she would endanger herslef by competing with so many competitors. Not to mention that there were ruthless and indifferent but powerful geniuses who could take her life for the sake of the inheritance.


Although she should be happy for the talent her daughter possessed, her motherly love prevailed over this proud feeling. Which mother would not worry for the welfare of her children?
