The Story of the Swordsman

Back to the Sect

What kind of Origin Realm practitioner is this? Why is he so poor?" Yun Lintian was rummaging through the remains of the masked man. He could not find any valuables in his corpse.

Yun Meilan looked at Yun Lintian speechlessly. This was the first time he had seen her acting like a greedy bandit.

"Let's go, Aunt Meilan." Yun Lintian said while throwing fireballs at the corpse. Both of them disappeared into the deep forest.

...

The Misty Cloud Sect.

"You're losing." In the ice room, a snow-robed graceful woman said to Yun Qianxue, who was sitting opposite her as she moved the chess piece.

He was the First Hall Master, Yun Ruanyu.

"I don't want to play anymore!" Yun Qianxue pouted in annoyance. If one were to look at his current appearance, they would definitely be shocked. The dignified and always cold Sect Master was able to act that way.

Yun Ruanyu shook her head with a faint smile hanging on her lips: "You don't need to worry. With Meilan by his side, except for Qi Qianxing, no one could threaten his safety. You need to take your worries off and calm down."

"I know, but I can't get rid of this uncomfortable feeling in my heart." Yun Qianxue replied while her eyes continued to look towards the transmission point.

Yun Ruanyu laughed looking at Yun Qianxue's agitated appearance. He changed the subject: "What's the latest situation?"

Yun Qianxue turned her gaze back to Yun Ruanyu as she replied, "That old Huo has reached an agreement with the Profound Sword Sect yesterday. They fought each other for a thousand years, but now, they are united."

Yun Ruanyu sighed, "That's inevitable. After all, Qi Qianxing was standing behind the Sacred Fire Sect. This time, I fear, we will face the greatest disaster since the sect exists."

The silence descended as the two thought hard. The coming crisis was unavoidable, and it was difficult for them to resist. With the combined Qi royal clan, Sacred Fire Sect, Profound Sword Sect, and perhaps the Luo clan — Misty Cloud Sect might face the threat of annihilation this time around.

"However, with the Heaven Suppressing Formation, we can hold out for a while. Unless Qi Qianxing took matters into her own hands, there was no one who had the ability to destroy her." Yun Ruanyu broke the silence.

Yun Qianxue shook her head: "No matter how powerful the formation is, it will not last forever ... As a sect master, I cannot hide behind a formation like a turtle and see them insult us. Otherwise, how will I face our ancestors? During their reign, no one is allowed to insult us, and it will be the same during my reign." A powerful killing intent flashed across his cold eyes as he spoke.

Yun Ruanyu nodded in agreement. He said with great determination, "You are right ... Even if we have to die, we won't let them get what they want."

At this moment, there was a shock occurring around the transmission point, causing Yun Qianxue to become delighted instantly. With a flash, he went to the front of the Transmission Formation near the treasury.

The white light around the formation slowly spread out, giving rise to two silhouettes. Of course, they were Yun Lintian and Yun Meilan, who had just returned from the trip.

"Mom, I'm back." Yun Lintian spoke after seeing Yun Qianxue.

Yun Qianxue moved to hug him with a charming smile on her lips, "Good, you're back. I'm so worried about you."

"Ugh..." Yun Lintian suffocated.

"Are you hurt somewhere? Let me see." Yun Qianxue asked with concern as her hands moved up and down on her body.

"Mom, I'm fine." Yun Lintian felt embarrassed and quickly slipped out of his embrace. As a man, how could he let a woman hold him freely? It was just that he did not dare to do anything back to Yun Qianxue.

Yun Qianxue scanned her body from top to bottom. When he saw the bloodstains on his sleeve, his eyes widened open: "Where did you get these bloodstains from?" He turned to Yun Meilan and shouted furiously, "Yun Meilan! Give me an explanation!"

Yun Meilan and Yun Ruanyu, looked at each other speechlessly.

Yun Lintian pulled Yun Qianxue's arm and said gently, "Mom, this is not my blood. It's enemy blood. Aunt Meilan killed him and I touched his body while I was looking for his stuff."

Hearing this, Yun Qianxue let out a sigh of relief. However, his eyes were still fixed on Yun Meilan with dissatisfaction. "Enemies? who would dare to attack my son !?"

Yun Lintian patted his forehead and he quickly changed the subject, "Mom, it's okay. Nothing happened to me. Come onl. I'm hungry now."

"You made a wise decision to prevent him from accompanying her on the journey. Otherwise, the capital will be turned upside down because of him now." Yun Ruanyu said softly.

Yun Meilan: "..."

"Let's go. Tell me what you got." Yun Ruanyu gestured. The two of them walked towards the direction of Yun Ruanyu's room.

...

"So he tried to make you serve his clan and even sent someone to kill you?... Hmph! Luo Clan!" Yun Qianxue's expression turned cold after hearing Yun Lintian's story. An enormous killing intent flashed in his eyes. The surrounding temperature seemed to drop, causing Yun Lintian to shiver slightly.

Yun Lintian hurriedly patted his hands and said, "Mom, calm down. You don't have to be mad at them. They are not worthy. Let's eat." He then used chopsticks to pick up the vegetables and put them in his bowl.

Yun Qianxue's brows slightly loosened. He asked, "Are you sure, you still want to take part in the Myth Realm? Once they see you again, they will definitely not let you go so easily ... No, I forbid you to go."

Yun Lintian drank a mouthful of water before he replied, "I have to go, Mom. You have to trust me. I have a way to deal with it. Let alone Luo Kun, even if there were ten of him, he wouldn't be able to do anything to me."

Yun Qianxue shook her head: "I know, you can use the formation to deal with all of them, but you can't use it all the time, right? What if they ambush you? You don't have time to set up a formation"

Yun Lintian nodded: "Well, what you said is true. However, ma'am, my concealment ability is not as weak as you think. Although I cannot hide my presence from the people in the Spirit Realm, I have no problem dealing with anyone in the Essence Realm. If you don't believe it, we can try it after this." He was confident in his ability to hide himself. After all, he had been training under Yun Meilan's guidance for several years.

Yun Qianxue looked at him for a while until she was finally convinced: "Alright, mother will not stop you anymore. However, you should practice with me every day from now on."

"Agreed." Yun Lintian accepted with a smile.

Meanwhile, in another room far away, other than Yun Meilan, Yun Ruanyu, and Yun Qingrou, there were two other people gathered around the ice table. One of them was a petite woman with short shoulder-length hair. He was the Third Hall Master, Yun Huanxin. Another one was a fat woman with tied hair. He was the Fourth Hall Master, Yun Lingwei.

"Quick! Meilane. Tell us about it." Urged Yun Lingwei as her hand continued to stuff pastries into her mouth. His eyes were large and round, staring at Yun Meilan without blinking.

"Hey! Fat man! Aren't you preparing for a breakthrough? Why are you suddenly out?" Yun Huanxin asked in annoyance. His small hand tried to grab the cake on the ice table, but he was slower than Yun Lingwei.

Yun Lingwei turned to Yun Huanxin. Smiling, he replied, "Do I have to tell you, Datar?" He then glanced at Yun Huanxin's chest area and his grin grew wider.

"You're looking to die, Fatty!?" Yun Huanxin's face darkened.

"Enough, you two. Why do you two have to fight every time you see each other." Yun Ruanyu reprimanded, causing Yun Huanxin and Yun Lingwei to shut their mouths ... Of course, they did not stop chewing the cookies.

On the other hand, Yun Qingrou smiled without a care, as she was already used to the two of them. He looked at Yun Meilan and said, "Now, please tell us the news, Meilan."

Everyone turned to Yun Meilan and he replied, "Qi Qianxing is currently in seclusion. Rumor has it he'll make a breakthrough."

When Yun Meilan finished speaking, the expressions of everyone in the room immediately turned heavy. Originally, they thought they could put up a fight when facing Qi Qianxing, but now, it seemed to be an impossible feat. If Qi Qianxing managed to break through to the middle level of the Ruler Realm, the entire sect would be the sheep waiting for him to be slaughtered.

Yun Meilan continued, "Ji Muchhen and his son showed up in the capital yesterday. He went to propose to the second princess."

"Sadly...he wants to get close to the Qi clan?" Yun Lingwei was annoyed. Among the Hall Masters, he had a deep grudge with Ji Muchhen, the Sect Master of the Profound Sword Sect. In the past, Ji Muchhen killed her closest sister during a mythical exploration of nature. He swore to take revenge, but his strength was slightly inferior to her. He had not been able to achieve his goal until now.

"Lintian has formed a relationship with the Gouming children. They owe him." Yun Meilan said further.

Everyone was shocked to hear this. They were curious how Yun Lintian could do that.

Seeing everyone looking at him excitedly, Yun Meilan explained, "To obtain the Heavenly Yin Iron from the Yang clan, Lintian set up a treatment stall in their territory. Coincidentally, Yang Chen, the son of Yang Gouming, was defeated by Luo Kun of the Luo clan and his Blood Vessels were destroyed. His older sister, Yang Mengli, came to Yun Lintian asking him to help Yang Chen. In the end, Lintian had managed to recover his Blood Vessels."

"What!?" The four Hall Masters exclaimed loudly in unison.
