Even the Lei Que Sword School's Sect Master, Song Ning, was trembling in fear.
Even though he was the Lei Que Sword School's Sect Master, he had to be respectful in front of Chen Hong, not daring to breathe too loudly.
Yet, this young master actually addressed him by his Martial Granduncle's name.
Chen Hong was stunned. He obviously didn't expect Lu Yiping to call him by his full name.
At this time, the Lei Que Sword School's Elders and Grand Elders reacted. Just as they were about to reprimand Lu Yiping, Chen Hong waved his hand to stop them. Then he smiled at Lu Yiping. "You're not afraid of me?"
Lu Yiping looked at Chen Hong indifferently. "Are you very scary?"
Millions of years ago, before he went into seclusion, he could crush someone like Chen Hong to death ten thousand times with a single finger!
But now!
Chen Hong was stunned.
He looked at Lu Yiping and suddenly laughed. His laughter was hearty as he said, "You're right, I'm actually not scary." Then he smiled warmly. "What's your name?"
"You'll know in the future." Lu Yiping shook his head.
Chen Hong stared at Lu Yiping and laughed again. "Good, then I'll look forward to you telling me your name in the future."
He was starting to like this young man in front of him.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see my Master." Chen Hong smiled.
Lu Yiping nodded. He also wanted to ask Yang Cheng about Yang Dong's whereabouts.
Everyone felt strange. At this time, anyone could see that not only did Chen Hong not blame Lu Yiping, he even praised him.
Could it be that all big shots had this kind of weird habit, like people calling them by their full name?
Before leaving, Lu Yiping looked at Lu Peng.
Seeing this, Chen Hong asked, "He's with you?" Then he instructed the elder of Lei Que Sword School to take Lu Peng to the inner hall to wait.
Only then did Lu Yiping follow Chen Hong to Lei Que Sword School's ancestral grounds.
Chen Hong considered that Lu Yiping was a mortal and couldn't fly. Therefore, he released a ball of True Essence to lift Lu Yiping up and directly flew into the air.
Xiao Changfeng looked at Lu Yiping who was taken away, and his face sank.
"Young Patriarch, Elder Xiao Yuan, he!" A Xiao Family elder arrived behind Xiao Changfeng and said in a sorrowful voice.
"Relax, Uncle Yuan won't die in vain!" Xiao Changfeng said coldly.
Princess Tai Yan looked at Lu Yiping who had been brought away by Chen Hong and asked Tai Hongtao, "Third Uncle, is he really a mortal?"
Tai Hongtao knew what Princess Tai Yan was thinking, and he smiled wryly, "I used my Jade Eyes to check again, it's absolutely true!"
Princess Tai Yan frowned, "A mortal without a trace of True Essence or God Force can pull out the Scarlet Flame Sword?"
Tai Honghong shook his head, "This matter is indeed strange."
He also couldn't understand how Lu Yiping managed to pull out the Scarlet Flame Sword.
In fact, he wasn't the only one who couldn't understand, no one else could.
Zheng Yue chuckled, "Maybe we're all wrong. This Scarlet Flame Sword requires a mortal physique. Only a mortal who has never cultivated before can pull it out."
Everyone was stunned.
Xiao Changfeng was also stunned.
Was that really the case?
Not long after, Lu Yiping followed Chen Hong and the Lei Que Sword School's Ancestors to the Lei Que Sword School's ancestral grounds.
With a wave of his hands, Chen Hong opened the ancestral grounds' restrictions and entered the ancestral grounds with Lu Yiping.
Inside the ancestral grounds, there were mountain peaks that pierced the sky. Countless waterfalls flowed down the mountain peaks, and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants grew on the mountain peaks.
Clouds and mist lingered on the mountain peaks. These clouds and mist were actually condensed from spiritual energy.
Flying beasts could be seen high up in the sky.
The sky was as blue as crystal, without a trace of impurities.
The ancestral grounds and the outside world were like two different worlds.
Chen Hong looked at the Lei Que Sword School's ancestral grounds, which resembled a fairyland. He smiled at Lu Yiping, "This is your first time seeing such a fairyland, right? What do you think? My Lei Que Sword School's ancestral grounds aren't bad, right?"
He sounded quite pleased with himself.
Lu Yiping looked at the Lei Que Sword School's ancestral grounds and smiled faintly, "It's just so-so."
Although the Lei Que Sword School's ancestral grounds weren't bad, it was still far from his Sacred Forest.
Just so-so?
Chen Hong and the ancestors of the Lei Que Sword School almost choked. Chen Hong looked at Lu Yiping and smiled. "Little guy, I find that I'm more and more fond of your calm temperament."
Then, he looked at Lu Yiping from head to toe. "What a pity, with your aptitude! Otherwise, you could be my last disciple. "
Lu Yiping smiled.
Be your last disciple?
He remembered how that little guy, Yang Dong, had knelt in front of him for ten days and ten nights, begging him to accept him as an in-name disciple.
But in the end, he didn't accept. He only allowed Yang Dong to stay in the Sacred Forest for a few years and occasionally gave him some pointers in sword techniques.
Not long after, Chen Hong and the ancestors of the Lei Que Sword School brought Lu Yiping to Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng was just as surprised to see Lu Yiping.
He looked at Lu Yiping, then looked at the Scarlet Flame Sword in Lu Yiping's hand. He couldn't connect Lu Yiping with the genius swordsman he had imagined to be able to pull out the Scarlet Flame Sword.
Just like Chen Hong, he was extremely disappointed. In fact, he was even more disappointed than Chen Hong. The Scarlet Flame Sword was his father's sword. For so many years, he had been waiting for a peerless genius swordsman to pull out his father's sword and inherit his swordsmanship.
He had waited for so many years, but now, it was pulled out by a mortal youth.
Was this the will of the heavens?
Yang Cheng looked at Lu Yiping and said solemnly, "Since you've pulled out the Scarlet Flame Sword, then it's yours. I hope you cherish this sword. You can stay in the Lei Que Sword School from now on. You can read my Lei Que Sword School's sword technique manuals and practice them."
Lu Yiping shook his head, "I didn't come here for the Scarlet Flame Sword. I have a lot of swords like this."
"As for sword technique manuals, I don't lack them either."
Yang Cheng, Chen Hong, and the rest were stunned.
What did this young man mean?
He had a lot of treasured swords like the Scarlet Flame Sword?
Yang Cheng frowned. It seemed like this young man didn't know what grade the Scarlet Flame Sword was.
At this time, a loud boom resounded between heaven and earth. The entire ancestral land shook violently as if it was hit by a primordial mountain.
Yang Cheng, Chen Hong, and the others' faces changed.
This is …?!
An arrogant laughter resounded between heaven and earth, "Yang Cheng brat, this old man, the Sword Demon Xilai, has arrived. Come out quickly and welcome this old man!"
The Sword Demon Xilai!
Yang Cheng, Chen Hong, and the others' hearts sank.
Outside the ancestral land, the various experts participating in the Lei Que Sword School's disciple assessment were shocked when they heard the arrogant laughter.
Princess Tai Yan's face changed, "Sword Demon Xilai? Could it be that Sword Demon Xilai who was defeated by Lord Sword God Yang Dong?! "
Tai Hongtao's face was solemn, "Legend has it that the Sword Demon Xilai had already reached the realm of a sword from another world! This time, he must have surpassed the realm of a sword from another world! "
"The Sword Demon Xilai is cruel and bloodthirsty, sacrificing people to his sword. If Lord Yang Cheng is defeated this time, I'm afraid none of the tens of thousands of Lei Que Sword School's disciples will survive!"
