Luoyang.
In the teahouse.
Tantai Lan, Iron Slave, and Ye Qingxuan were drinking tea and eating snacks while watching the bustling crowd on the street.
It was peaceful, and the people were happy.
Looking at the scene in front of them, who would have thought that a few months ago, Great Xia's borders were at war and the empire's foundations were threatened?
Ye Qingxuan slowly put down the teacup in her hand, her face full of doubt. "Brother has an old acquaintance in Luoyang City."
Iron Slave ate the snacks in front of him, his mouth full. "Who doesn't have an old flame?"
The two girls were speechless.
Iron Slave was like this. It was fine if he never opened his mouth, but once he did, it was shocking.
It was really shocking.
At this moment, Tantai Lan's expression suddenly turned serious. "They're here again."
Following the sound, the two of them saw Yun Yaoyao walking toward them on the long street.
"This woman is really strange," Iron Slave said. "She's already escaped. Why did she come back to die? Isn't she afraid that I'll serve her with my big sword?"
Before she arrived, her killing intent had already enveloped the teahouse.
The people on the long street seemed to sense danger and backed away, pointing at Yun Yaoyao and her group.
The Sky Demon Sect cultivators appeared outside the teahouse, and their gazes fell on Tantai Lan. "Yaoyao. who did you say was the person who knew the secret technique?"
Yun Yaoyao pointed at Iron Slave. "Elder, it's that burly man. However, the Great Xia Crown Prince is nowhere to be found."
"Ignore him," Yun Huan said. "Let's kill Tantai Lan first and take the secret technique. As for the Great Xia Crown Prince, he's not our target."
Yun Yaoyao nodded. With a light wave of her Jade-like hand, the Sky Demon Sect cultivator behind her flew out with his sword in hand. He suddenly charged forward and charged toward Tantai Lan and the other two.
Iron Slave wielded Xuantian Sword and swept it horizontally, blocking the attack. The sword Qi spread out, and the teahouse was in a mess with wood chips flying everywhere. "Use more strength, use more strength."
Under the merciless mockery, Iron Slave waved his giant sword and sent the Sky Demon Sect cultivator flying. He came to the long street and looked at Yun Huan. "You're the strongest. Fight me!"
"You're crazy!"
"I'm not wild, but I was when I was younger. I forgot to tell you, my nickname is the craziest young man." Iron Slave said in a low voice. He stomped on the ground and swung his giant sword down. Yun Huan was calm and collected. He slowly raised his arm and used two fingers to hold the sword, sending Iron Slave flying.
"Aiyo, you're quite strong?"
"It hurts!"
Iron Slave steadied his body. The teahouse behind him shook and exploded. It could collapse at any moment.
"Use your secret technique and let me see." Yun Huan wanted to see the secret technique that Iron Slave used to increase his realm, but he didn't know that it wasn't because of the secret technique but because of his bloodline.
With the support of the two bloodlines, his realm rose rapidly.
"I'll fulfill your wish!"
Iron Slave released two bloodlines, and his aura rose rapidly. A behemoth phantom appeared behind him, and he stabbed the Tianxuan Sword into the ground and punched Yun Huan.
Yun Huan's expression changed, and he squinted. "What a powerful bloodline."
He paused for a moment and continued, "Yaoyao, go and kill Tantai Lan."
Yun Yaoyao attacked Tantai Lan and Ye Qingxuan, and the Sky Demon Sect's experts instantly surrounded the two.
For a moment, the sword shadows crisscrossed, and the silver light flickered like lightning.
When Iron Slave saw that the two ladies were being attacked from both sides, he was worried that they would be in danger and bombarded Yun Huan with his iron fists. The latter's figure was like a ghost, and he easily dodged.
At this moment, a ray of sword light fell from the sky and pierced through Yun Huan's body. He turned around, and his gaze fell on Ye Xuan and Dugu Qiubai, as if to say, "You sneak-attacked and don't care about martial virtue."
He boasted that his movement technique was powerful, but he was killed in one strike.
Yun Huan couldn't accept it even after his death.
In the face of absolute strength, movement techniques were completely useless.
Iron Slave saw Yun Huan lying on the street and quickly walked to Ye Xuan's side. "Young Master, you're finally back. We were so scared and were almost beaten up."
"Dugu, just kill him!" Ye Xuan said.
Dugu Qiubai waved his hand, and a wisp of sword Qi flew out. It was as fast as the wind, and in a flash, it cut through the necks of the Sky Demon Sect's people. The sword slit their throats, and blood gushed out.
Tantai Lan and Ye Qingxuan stepped forward. "Brother, this great master is..."
"My old friend, Dugu!" Ye Xuan said.
Ye Qingxuan bowed and said, "Greetings, Senior Dugu. Your sword is so fast. Can you teach me?"
Dugu Qiubai shook his head. "I won't teach my sword to outsiders."
Tantai Lan's brows furrowed slightly. Thousands of thoughts ran through her mind. There were only a few world-famous swordsmen, and Dugu was not one of them. However, his sword had already reached the pinnacle, and he could kill people invisibly.
She was shocked that Ye Xuan had such an old friend.
Although she had been with Ye Xuan all this time, she couldn't see through him and felt that he was unfathomable.
Ye Xuan glanced at the bodies on the ground. "The danger is gone. Let's go."
Not long after they left Luoyang City, soldiers appeared on the long street and began to clean up the corpses. "Sigh, it's the love and hatred of the martial world again. What can't be discussed? Why must you kill everyone?"
The soldier mumbled to himself, but his hands did not stop moving. He took the money from the Sky Demon Sect cultivators and put them into his own pocket without any hesitation.
If there was no profit these days, who would be a corpse mover?
"The things between me and the female cultivator."
The soldier found a book on Yun Huan's body and was instantly attracted by the pictures on it. He quickly put it away, his future happiness would depend on it.
....
On this day, outside Celestial City.
Ye Xuan and his group appeared and floated down from the sky. The flying swords under their feet returned to their sheaths, and they moved into the city.
Ye Qingxuan turned to look at her. "Sister Lan, you're familiar with Celestial City. After we enter the city, you have to take us around."
Tantai Lan looked at Celestial City in front of her. She had finally returned after going out to learn martial arts for five years. "Xuan'er, let's go to the secret realm first. After we're done, I'll bring everyone to play in the city and look at the four celestial treasures that are world-famous."
The four celestial treasures were the Celestial Flying Snow, the Celestial Biyao, the Celestial Beauty, and the Celestial Cave.
As the secret realm was located in a mountain range not far from the city, cultivators from all over the world gathered in the city. Along the way, cultivators were everywhere. The items sold on long street were also related to cultivation.
Suddenly, a loud rumble was heard. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the cultivators on the long street had all retreated. A group of people appeared. The mounts under them were incomparably huge. They were shaped like elephants, but their bodies were covered in black scales.
It looked ferocious and terrifying.
Dragon Elephant Beast.
Ye Xuan recognized the giant beast in front of him at a glance. It was recorded in ancient books that the Dragon Elephant Beast was a unique mount of the Yuhua Sect, so he was sure that these people were from Yuhua Sect.
At this moment, the Dragon Elephant Beast at the forefront stopped in front of Ye Xuan and his party. The young man in white on the beast's back looked at Tantai Lan. "What a coincidence, you're back too."
Tantai Lan's expression was cold. "Yes, what a coincidence!"
The young man in white gave Tantai Lan a meaningful look and drove the Dragon Elephant Beast away. The beautiful eyes of the woman beside him flickered as she kept looking at Ye Xuan with an extremely fierce gaze.
Ye Xuan noticed the woman's gaze and shook his head helplessly. "My damn looks! Being born handsome is also annoying!"
