Chapter 464: Chapter 257 – Hidden Knife Realm Stirs Up the Winds and Clouds in Yuzhou_2

Yesterday, Xu Yan had already made a small breakthrough in his Heart Sword Realm, his Sword Array had made even greater progress, becoming stronger.

At the time when Xu Yan made a minor breakthrough in his Heart Sword Realm, Li Xuan reached the peak of his Heart Sword Realm.

Whoosh!

Unexpectedly, a silhouette darted across the sky above the courtyard.

Due to the courtyard being covered by a formation, the passing martial artist was unaware of its existence.

Li Xuan and the others were not bothered about it.

Although the courtyard was located some distance outside the capital of Zheng Country and was a bit remote, it was after all not far from the capital. So, it was not unusual for martial artists to pass by.

However, in the next few days, martial artists kept passing by, seemingly searching for something.

At this point, Li Xuan became curious.

Has something happened in Yuzhou?

“Finally, the refining is successful!”

Fang Hao wiped the sweat from his forehead, looking at the storage ring in his hand, a smile appeared on his face.

After this period of refining, he finally succeeded.

“Master, I have refined a storage ring.”

Overjoyed, Fang Hao brought the storage ring before his master for him to take a look.

At a glance, Li Xuan perceived that it had a rather impressive amount of space inside—larger than a bag of holding and more importantly, it seemed to be more stable and easier to handle.

Although its crafting was a bit rough, it was still very commendable, considering that it’s his first time refining.

“Make some minor improvements, and it’ll be perfect.”

Li Xuan nodded in approval.

“Yes, Master!”

Fang Hao was thrilled. With the Storage Ring successfully refined, he could finally begin crafting the first Qimen Arsenal.

Fang Hao casually gave the slightly crude first Storage Ring to Shi’er.

Shi’er, of course, was extremely delighted.

In the following half month, Fang Hao refined several Storage Rings, enough for everyone in the courtyard. Each one was huge, and the amount of items one Ring could store was at least ten times that of a Bag of Holding.

The Red Cat was absolutely thrilled; it now had its own storage ring.

After he had mastered the creation of Storage Rings, Fang Hao began the task of creating the Qimen Arsenal.

The work required to craft a Qimen Arsenal was far more complex compared to the Storage Ring, hence, he put all of his encapsulated thought into its creation.

Meng Chong sat cross-legged on the ground, a knife lying horizontally across his knees. Xu Yan’s Sword Intent lingered all around him; every blade of grass and grain of sand had turned into a sharp sword.

Meng Chong was closely contemplating this profound scene.

Li Xuan observed quietly for some time.

“Meng Chong, it seems like you’re about to make a breakthrough and enter the Hidden Blade Realm.

The second realm of the Sword Path, like the Heart Sword Realm, is the essence of the same work.

Where is there a place in this world without a blade!

The Hidden Blade Realm is about hiding your blade, both concealing its power and understanding the thought that everything can be a blade.

A hidden blade not revealed, once revealed, its blade is unmatched!

“Your disciple Meng Chong is close to understanding the Hidden Blade Realm, your Hidden Blade Realm has reached its peak!”

As expected, a few days later, Meng Chong broke through.

After Meng Chong’s breakthrough, the blade aura was completely concealed. He appeared more like a literate scholar rather than a swordsman.

If not for his gigantic physique and bald head, had he worn a scholar’s robe, who would believe he was a domineering powerhouse of swordsmanship?

Whoosh!

In the sky above the courtyard, a silhouette flew past again.

“This is the eighth one.”

Xu Yan murmured to himself.

“Has a major event occured in Yuzhou?”

Meng Chong also looked puzzled.

“Indeed, it’s very strange.”

Fang Hao nodded in agreement.

“Could it be because of senior brother’s and secondary brother’s matters?”

Su Lingxiu speculated uncertainly.

“How could that be possible? Senior brother and I have been focusing on our cultivation, we never even approached the Jade Spirit Sect and Su Family for settling scores.”

Meng Chong shook his head.

Xu Yan also nodded. Since then, the incident of disgracing the Jade Spirit Sect and the Su Family and killing an average Spirit Sect Refining supreme-ruler powerhouses, a lot of time had passed.

So, the major event occurring now, how could it be related to them?

“Eh, someone is coming again, I’ll go and inquire.”

Xu Yan stepped out, his figure disappearing from the courtyard.

A few miles away from the courtyard, a martial artist in a brown robe was meticulously examining the surroundings, he didn’t even spare a glance for each tree, wishing if he could dig the ground three feet deep to search properly.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him.

An attractive young man, displaying a curious expression.

“Excuse me, my friend, what are you looking for?”

Xu Yan asked with a friendly smile.

The martial artist in the brown gown was exploring the surroundings when suddenly a figure emerged silently. He jumped in shock.

However, when he raised his head and saw Xu Yan, he was utterly stunned.

“Xu… Xu Yan?”

Xu Yan’s brows furrowed, “Do you know me?”

At this moment, the martial artist in the brown gown was both excited and a little scared. This was the villain who had killed Refining supreme-ruler Heavenly Man! Even though he was a Great Heavenly Realm Martial Artist, he was definitely not Xu Yan’s match.

But!

Since he had found Xu Yan’s trace, as long as he reported it to Yuzhou Spirit Sect, he could get a hefty reward.

“I’ve seen, I’ve seen Brother Xu’s portrait.”

The martial artist in the brown gown wanted to leave and report Xu Yan’s whereabouts to Yuzhou Spirit Sect immediately. As for capturing or killing Xu Yan for higher rewards, he knew his limits.

“Speak, what are you looking for?”

Xu Yan had a smile on his face.

The man’s expression was a bit off when he saw him.

“You’re not looking for me, are you?”

Xu Yan was wondering in his heart.

“No, no, just, ahaha, the spirit beast I raised got lost, so I came to look for it.

“Yes, the spirit beast I raised got lost, I’m looking for the spirit beast.”

The martial artist in the brown gown came to his senses and gave a hollow laugh.

“Brother Xu, have you ever seen a brown little beast around here?”

He had to keep Xu Yan at ease and not arouse his suspicion.

Xu Yan chuckled, “I hate liars the most. I’ll give you another chance to speak!”

Cold sweat was pouring from the martial artist in the brown gown, and a sense of life and death crisis emerged in his heart.

It seemed that if he answered incorrectly, he would be reduced to ash immediately!

He wanted to escape, but intuition told him that if he attempted to do so, he would undoubtedly die!

Invisible killing intent seemed to envelop the area around him!

“It’s the Yuzhou Spirit Sect and Su Family that put a bounty on you and Meng Chong, I just… just…”

The martial artist in the brown gown was drenched in cold sweat.

He didn’t know how to excuse himself, that he was not there to find the whereabouts of Xu Yan and Meng Chong.

Xu Yan’s eyebrows raised. Could it be that all the martial artists he had come across these days were looking for him and Meng Chong?

Exactly what kind of bounty did Yuzhou Spirit Sect and Su Family offer?

“Tell me, what have Yuzhou Spirit Sect and Su Family offered as reward?”

The martial artist in the brown gown dared not hide anything and told Xu Yan everything he knew.

Even Xu Yan couldn’t help but click his tongue after hearing this. Yuzhou Spirit Sect and Su Family were willing to spend a massive amount for this.

Just discovering his and Meng Chong’s tracks and reporting it could earn a reward of a million Spirit Crystals. If their hiding place was discovered, they would be granted the status of a Martial Artist of the Spirit Sect or a noble family, in addition to a reward of five million Spirit Crystals or an equivalent treasure.

For capturing, killing, or even aiding in the capture or kill, the rewards were unspeakable.

Even a Spirit Crystal vein was put up as part of the reward.

The Earth Soul Flower was undoubtedly the most precious, even a Refining supreme-ruler Heavenly Man would be tempted.

A handful of Refining supreme-ruler Heavenly Men, the Loose Cultivators in Yuzhou, were exhausting every method to find the tracks of Xu Yan and Meng Chong.

Moreover, there were even rumors that the Refining supreme-ruler powerhouses from other provinces were also coming to Yuzhou.

“I swear, I won’t leak your whereabouts!”

The martial artist in the brown gown said tremblingly.

There was fear written all over his face.

“I, Xu Yan, am not murderous. Now that I know, how could I stay here? So, whether you leak my whereabouts or not, it won’t affect me!”

After Xu Yan finished speaking, he raised his hand and threw the martial artist in the brown gown out.

The martial artist in the brown gown escaped as though he had been given a new lease on life.

Xu Yan appearing near the capital of Zheng Country meant that Xu Yan and Meng Chong were hiding within Zheng Country.

This was extremely important information.

If he reported it, he could get millions of Spirit Crystals. As a Loose Cultivator, this was a huge fortune.

Xu Yan returned to the mansion and told everyone about the news.

Fang Hao looked at him in admiration. His two senior brothers were truly impressive to force Yuzhou Spirit Sect and Su Family to spill so much blood!

“Huh, Yuzhou Spirit Sect and Su Family really know how to hand out a reward.”

Meng Chong exclaimed.

Besides the Spirit Crystal vein, there was also the Earth Soul Flower, stirring up a Martial Arts storm throughout Yuzhou.

“It’s about time we take a cut from the Spirit Crystal vein of Yuzhou Spirit Sect. But since our junior brother knows about formations, he can put it to good use.”

Xu Yan said with a cold smile.

“Eldest Brother, rest assured. There’s never been a formation in Ling Domain before. As long as I set up the formation, even Refining supreme-ruler Heavenly Man will not be able to detect anything. The Spirit Crystal vein will be ours.”

Fang Hao was very excited. The thought of being able to stand against the Spirit Sect and noble families made his blood boil.

“A Refining supreme-ruler Heavenly Man will come to investigate this place soon.”

Xu Yan spoke solemnly.

Now that he had shown himself here, the Refining supreme-ruler Heavenly Man from Yuzhou Spirit Sect or Su Family would definitely come here to investigate.
