The Story of the Swordsman

Crisis

As Yun Lintian turned his back on them, no one noticed his expression at the moment. Yun Lintian frowned deeply, thinking of something until the girl returned with medical materials.

Yun Lintian took all the medicinal ingredients and started concocting the pills with a small copper cauldron. A strong aroma immediately spread throughout the hall after Yun Lintian finished refining the medicinal ingredients.

The potion was fluent, and he also took this opportunity to teach everyone from time to time during the process. Thirty minutes later, the medicinal liquid in the cauldron slowly fused under Yun Lintian's intricate hand seal and began to form into nine thumb-sized blue pills.

Yun Lintian brought nine pills into the jade bottle and went to Yun Xiaotong's side to feed him one pill. After which, a cold current gradually spread throughout Yun Xiaotong's body, his previous red complexion slowly returned to its original color.

It took twenty minutes before the effects of the pill reached its limit. Yun Lintian withdrew his hand, observing Yun Xiaotong again. After making sure everything was going well, he turned to Yun Xiaohong and gave her a jade bottle. He said, "Give him a pill every half hour, a total of three pills and call me again once it's done."

Yun Xiaohong gripped the jade bottle tightly and nodded her head firmly. "understandable. Thank you, Senior Brother Yun." His eyes were filled with gratitude and admiration.

Yun Lintian waved his hand nonchalantly, walked over to the remains of the snake, and took it with him, coming out of the recovery room. He headed towards a building that stood at the very top of the Misty Cloud Peak.

The Misty Cloud Sect had around a thousand disciples and was composed entirely of women. The sect would only choose women as their disciples. It was a tradition for over five thousand years ago. Yun Lintian's arrival broke this tradition, and he became the first male disciple in the history of the Sect. However, this was limited within the Sect alone, Outsiders never knew about its existence at all.

Yun Lintian grew up under the status of the Sect Master's adopted son. Surprisingly, no one opposed it even once. The relationships of everyone in the Sect were very harmonious. To the point of reversing Yun Lintian's confidence.

Yun Lintian had witnessed many dark sides of humans while he was on Earth. Even blood-related siblings can kill each other in front of profits, and this happens in a modern society that abides by laws and rules. Then, what about here, the Azure World, where life is worthless than grass? He does not believe there is an organization in the world that is entirely without internal conflict.

Perhaps it was because the Misty Cloud Sect mainly recruited orphans, and everyone regarded this place as a home deep down in their hearts, allowing the Sect to achieve harmony. After all, it was a myth for Yun Lintian until now.

The structure of the Misty Cloud Sect was similar to that of other sects, except there was no vice sect master. The Sect consisted of the Sect Master, Great Master, Four Hall Masters, and the Twelve Elders.

Yun Lintian wanted to change this structure at first, but his authority and status were too low. It could easily cause conflict between them if he suggested changing it. Therefore, he gave up completely on this matter in the end.

Arriving in front of a unique building made of ice, Yun Lintian stood in front of the ice curtain and said calmly, "Murid Yun Lintian asked for permission to meet the Sect Master."

"Lake in." A cold and arrogant female voice sounded from within the ice chamber.

As the sound fell, the ice curtain slowly opened. Countless ice crystals spread out from within the room.

In the center of the room, a woman with a demonic figure sat upright on a blue-colored ice throne. The throne constantly emitted an ice-cold aura, enveloping its entire body within the hazy ice fog. As Yun Lintian walked into the room, his closed eyes gently opened. It was a pair of eyes filled with boundless coldness and arrogance. It was as if nothing was worthy in his eyes.

He had long, ink-like black hair that stretched all the way to his waist, sparkling with a misty blue light. A charming and very charming face. Crescent-shaped eyebrows, the thin lips of cherries that can be compared to the most delicate petals in the world.

Wrapped in a snow-white robe, a blue ribbon on her waist, highlighting her seductive curves and bountiful chest. His body exuded an indescribable charm that could easily bewitch any man in this world. He was the current Misty Cloud Sect Master, the Snow Cloud Fairy, Yun Qianxue.

His cold and indifferent expression quickly disappeared as his gaze landed on Yun Lintian's body. It turned into gentle, full of love and affection instead. Her lips opened gently, "Come here, let mother see you closer. I haven't seen you in a day. I don't know how much you've grown."

Yun Lintian was silent. Even though she was already used to her adoptive mother's behavior, she would get frustrated every time she faced it. Yun Lintian acknowledged the woman in front of him was the most beautiful woman he had seen so far in his two lives. As a man, of course, he often thought about it. It was just that, unless he could become stronger than her, it was just a dream to take down this goddess.

Nevertheless, Yun Lintian stepped closer to Yun Qianxue after throwing the remains of the snake aside. He stretched out his slender hand to pull her into his embrace. With a happy smile, he said, "Mhm, Mhm. You've grown half a centimeter."

Yun Qianxue smiled charmingly as she replied in a domineering tone, "Who cares? I am a Sect Master after all. Whoever dares to peek, I will punish them!"

Yun Lintian was speechless once more. He let go of this topic and quickly explained the problem: "Mom, I have found something. You can check out this snake."

Yun Qianxue tilted her head to look at the remains of the snake. His expression did not change in the slightest as he asked, "How did you find him?"

Yun Lintian briefly told Yun Xiaotong's situation and added his conjecture in the end, "So. From my estimation, they should have taken action during the exploration of the Myth Realm."

Yun Qianxue nodded her head slightly and gestured with her chin, telling Yun Lintian to continue.

"I can complete the Heaven Suppressing Formation within this week. Unless they can find a Ruler Level Formation Master, there should be no problem dealing with any Heaven Level practitioner." Yun Lintian paused for a moment and continued. "I will take part in the exploration of the Mythological Realm in the next two months. I'll have to sacrifice your reputation a little. I hope you don't mind about that."

Yun Qianxue let out a gentle laugh: "Since when have I cared about my reputation? However, are you sure, you want to reveal your identity now?"

Yun Lintian nodded: "There is no better time than this. We can delay them and draw their attention by doing this. The problem was that many senior sisters had to take risks in this operation."

Yun Qianxue pondered for a moment before she replied, "let mother go with you. That's too dangerous."

Yun Lintian shook his head, "No, ma'am. You should stay here. Let Third Aunt send us there. His s.p.a.ce technique was unrivalled in the entire Heavenly Fortune Country. He could easily escape the siege. Besides, I'll find a place to set up another secret transmission point to bring everyone back as soon as possible."

"Of course, when they attacked our sect. They must have set up a formation bully, but I have a way to get through it. You don't have to worry about this. I only have one request. I want to choose the person who will participate in this exploration alone."

Listening to Yun Lintian's plan, Yun Qianxue nodded her head in agreement. At the same time, he was proud of his son. Although his talent was ordinary, his mind and other aspects far surpassed his peers.

"Let's do what you say." Yun Qianxue said gently as she patted Yun Lintian's head lovingly.

His actions slightly disturbed Yun Lintian. Treated like a child like this. It made him uncomfortable deep down.

"Then, Mom. I'll go first." Yun Lintian stepped back and hurriedly slipped away under Yun Qianxue's reluctant gaze.

The room returned to its usual calmness as well as Yun Qianxue's expression had turned cold again. He frowned, pondering something for a while before he asked, "What do you think?"

Suddenly, a hazy mist gradually formed in the empty space beside Yun Qianxue, and a female figure appeared behind her. He had a tall and slender figure, wearing a snow robe. Her lustrous long hair gushed freely onto her shoulders, and there was a black veil covering her entire face, hiding most of her face except for her sparkling eyes. He was the Great Master of the Misty Cloud Sect, Yun Meilan.

"He could detect the Spiritual Traces left within the Fire Spirit Snake, even though he had strength at the third level of the Essence Realm. This proves his perception is very sharp. I've always doubted the strength of his soul since he was young." Yun Meilan paused for a moment before continuing, "As for the plan he proposed, it was because he was unable to access important information, and this led him in the wrong direction." His voice was very cold, without a hint of emotion.

Yun Qianxue did not immediately respond. He thought about something for a while and said, "What I mean is, should I be more proactive?"

Yun Meilan glanced at Yun Qianxue, speechless.

Yun Qianxue sighed, "Unfortunately, I shouldn't have made her my foster child in the first place."
