"Old friend?"
Brother Duan smiled coldly, and said, "Of course I remember you, Wei Hengshan, but I'm afraid you've already forgotten about me, and even more so about the school behind me. Otherwise, how would you dare to allow your youngest son to attack my Aojian Villa's people?"
"Brother Duan, it's a misunderstanding."
Wei Hengshan complained incessantly. He and Brother Duan had been friends for a period of time, but it was precisely because of this that he knew Brother Duan's temper, methods, and greed. If he was really controlled by Brother Duan, it would be impossible for his Yunma School to resolve this matter without bleeding.
However, Brother Duan did not give Wei Hengshan a chance to explain at all, and only said, "Don't say anymore. Although I, Duan Henan, do not often walk in the martial world, how could I not know your dirty methods? Do you, Wei Hengshan, think that I, Duan Henan, am an inexperienced child who knows nothing about the world?"
As he spoke, Brother Duan unsheathed his longsword and pointed it straight at Wei Hengshan. Seeing this, the dignified school leader actually bowed all the way down, and said, "Hengshan does not dare."
This Brother Duan was shockingly the 'Dripping Blood Sword' Duan Henan, who led a group of true disciples into battle during the first outer court war. This person could be said to be a late bloomer, and only formed his Yuan Embryo when he was almost forty years old. Ten years later, he formed his True Yuan, and now he was already over fifty years old. Although he could not be listed in the Hidden Dragon Ranking because of his age, his power was not to be underestimated. Not to mention the distant past, just in the first outer court war, it was this person who teamed up with Elder Chen Tong to defeat a group of powerful warriors, and even killed the 'Wind Chasing Sword' Qi Ming on the spot, and scared away the Hidden Dragon Ranking 'Broken Blade' Lang Yanfeng.
It could be said that the name 'Dripping Blood Sword' was extremely famous in the entire South Yue State. Although Duan Henan was not listed in the Hidden Dragon Ranking, everyone in the South Yue State knew that his power was comparable to the top seventy of the Hidden Dragon Ranking. In the face of such a figure, not to mention a mere Yunma School, even the three major sects in the north did not dare to be careless.
Seeing such a situation, the group of inner sect elders of Yunma School knew that this matter would be difficult to resolve. The tall mountain elder who was hidden in Huiyi Alley last night looked at Wei Hengshan and said, "Hengshan, you made a mistake last night. Now that Great Hero Duan is here, we should listen to Great Hero Duan on how to resolve this matter."
Wei Hengshan did not expect Elder Shan to say such a thing. He immediately sent a sound transmission to the elder, "Elder Shan, you can't just let yourself be trampled upon like this, right?"
"Then what should we do? Who among us here can defeat Bing Jian? Who would be willing to give up their lives? Besides, even if you could defeat Duan Henan, would you dare to make a move? Given the current situation, you should have expected it when you allowed Wei Hechuan to run amok. Wang Yan's life is indeed not worth much, but once a disciple of a large sect like Duan Henan gets a chance, won't he crush your bones and suck your marrow dry? If you knew this would happen, you wouldn't have done it in the first place. "
Elder Shan also used the Secret Sound Transmission Technique to reply to Wei Hengshan. These words caused Wei Hengshan's old face to turn red. He had indeed considered this before, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt that even if the Proud Sword Villa pursued the matter, they would only send an ordinary Inner Disciple. After all, Wang Yan was only a servant disciple. Who would have thought that in just one day, the person who came was actually Duan Henan, the famous direct disciple? The situation suddenly became extremely tricky.
Sigh …
Wei Hengshan let out a long sigh, then he cupped his hands at Duan Henan and said, "Brother Duan, how do you want to resolve this matter?"
Seeing Wei Hengshan's' I am a fish on the chopping block 'expression, Duan Henan slowly withdrew his long sword and smiled, "This will depend on your sincerity."
.....
In a maple forest a dozen miles away from Cloud Heaven City, Wang Yan sat under a maple tree. Gan Xiumei, Wei Hechuan, and Wei Xiangnan were not far away. They had set off in the morning, but they did not expect Qin Hong's subordinates to report that the Aojian Villa's people had already entered the city, and they did not come with good intentions. To be safe, Wang Yan did not meet them rashly, but stayed here to wait for Qin Hong to gather more information.
"They're here."
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Wang Yan opened his eyes and stood up. However, in the next instant, the sound of the wind suddenly became faster. Following that, a figure flashed and appeared in front of him in the span of a breath. Following that, a sword light flew towards Wang Yan. Seeing this, Wang Yan immediately drew his sword and faced it. However, before he could unleash his sword force, the sword light turned into four sword lights. Almost at the same time, they were aimed at Wang Yan's forehead, throat, heart, and dantian.
The sword light was fast, but Wang Yan did not retreat at all. With a slight turn of his hand, Falling Sand, four sword lights appeared at the same time. Then, there were four 'ding ding ding ding' sounds of metal clashing, and the sword lights disappeared.
When Wang Yan and the person exchanged blows, Gan Xiumei, who was not far away, finally realized something was wrong, and immediately shouted, "Who are you?!"
"Master Gan, don't be alarmed, it's one of us."
As he spoke, Wang Yan withdrew his sword, looked at the person who appeared in front of him, and said with a face full of smiles, "Sister Yue, why are you here?"
This person was the woman with dashing eyebrows that Duan Henan called 'Junior Sister' in the rundown temple, and this woman was the rich Gu Xiaoyue who hired Wang Yan, Master Po, and a group of outer court disciples to fight for the Killing Sword Token.
"Why can't I be here? As for you, I thought you disappeared after not seeing you for more than half a year. I didn't expect you to make a name for yourself, and you're quite famous around Cloudy Sky City. You're also so powerful that even my newly learned Clear Shadow Return Wind Sword can't do anything to you. "
After more than half a year, Gu Xiaoyue was still as elegant as before, and she was even slightly more powerful than before. Perhaps it was because she was more powerful, but Gu Xiaoyue revealed a beauty that was firm and gentle when she looked around. Even the experienced Wang Yan could not help but feel a slight ripple in his heart, especially when her voice, which was as soft as glutinous rice cake, entered his ears. Any normal man's bones would soften a little.
Fortunately, after going through so many things, Wang Yan was no longer the inexperienced child he used to be. He calmly replied, "It's just a small fight. If there's a choice, Wang Yan is still willing to return to the sect to help sister Yue."
Half of Wang Yan's words were true. His strength had improved by leaps and bounds in the past half a year, but only he understood the dangers he had gone through. Even though he still had to live on the edge of a knife every day in the Aojian Villa, he was still not alone. Wang Yan missed the days when he fought alongside Master Po, but it was a pity that everything could not go back. The outer sect had been destroyed, and Master Po had betrayed the sect. When they met again in the future, would he and Master Po draw their swords against each other, or would they trust each other with their backs like before?
Thinking of this, Wang Yan's face became slightly gloomy, and he let out a soft sigh. Seeing this, Gu Xiaoyue more or less understood, and could not help saying, "Zhang Xiaobao really had no choice but to walk that path. You haven't been in the sect for more than half a year, so you don't know how bad the fight was, especially the battle that destroyed the outer sect. There were enemies everywhere, and there was no end to them. More than ten experts on the Hidden Dragon List came, and more than half of the outer sect's deacon elders died on the spot. Even Elder Chen Tong, who was in charge of the outer sect, was not spared. At that time, I almost thought that the Aojian Villa was finished."
This was the first time that Wang Yan heard about the details of the battle that destroyed the outer sect. He wanted to ask for more details, but he did not expect that Gu Xiaoyue would mention Elder Chen Tong. Wang Yan never thought that Chen Hongxiu's words would come true.
For a moment, Wang Yan had mixed feelings. At first, he did not believe Chen Hongxiu's words, but when everything came true, Wang Yan looked back and found that Elder Chen Tong really saved his life. If it were not for the benevolence of this old man, Wang Yan knew that he could not escape the great calamity of the outer sect's destruction.
After a long while, Wang Yan calmed down and said, "Sister Yue, that battle was so dangerous, how did it end in the end?"
"I don't know the specifics. I only know that an Elder of the Swordsmanship-worshipping Mountain took action. He fought alone with his sword against the four strongest warriors on the Hidden Dragon List and killed them one by one. I only knew about the foundation of our Aojian Villa after I learned about this."
Listening to Gu Xiaoyue's words, Wang Yan asked again, "Sister Yue, do you know why our Aojian Villa was besieged by so many big sects from other provinces, and what is the current situation in the sect?"
Gu Xiaoyue shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Although I have tried to find out, the secret is very deep, and the Elders in the sect are not willing to reveal a word. As for the current situation in the sect, it is not very good. The sects are still besieging us, but the battles are not as intense as before. After all, the weak cannon fodder is useless, and every battle is fought by the masters of the Cultivating Embryo Stage. "
Wang Yan nodded. He knew that now that the sub-peaks of the outer sect had been occupied, those with low strength could no longer intervene in the battle. Because the main peak was the top of the mountain surrounded by cliffs, and the sub-peaks were nearly thirty meters apart, connected only by an iron lock, which was called 'One Line Sky'. In other words, if one did not have a profound Lightness Skill, it would be a fool's dream to attack the main peak where the inner sect was located.
"Little Yan, don't think too much. Even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. Don't worry too much."
Seeing the gloomy expression on Wang Yan's face, Gu Xiaoyue could not help but make fun of him. Wang Yan could not help but laugh and said, "I am just worried that when I return to the sect one day, I will find that the sect is no longer there. At that time, I will not be able to find the follow-up cultivation method to practice. I am not as good as Sister Yue, who has a successful Cultivating Embryo Stage. I am afraid that the sect's secret method of condensing True Essence has already been obtained, right?"
After so many hardships and seeing all kinds of people, Wang Yan already knew how to deal with different people. Gu Xiaoyue's identity was special, and he was also a player, so Wang Yan naturally did not want to expose himself in front of him.
Sure enough, when Gu Xiaoyue heard Wang Yan's words, he covered his mouth and laughed, "It is all thanks to you guys that you helped me get that Killing Sword Token. Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to form the Heart of the Sword, how would I be able to condense True Essence?"
While the two were talking, Gan Xiumei walked over and bowed to Gu Xiaoyue, "Greetings, Heroine."
Gu Xiaoyue's eyes were at the top of her head, and she enjoyed the feeling of integrating into this world, unlike other ordinary players who valued experience as their life. Therefore, when she bowed to Gan Xiumei, she had the demeanor of a disciple of a large sect, and she only nodded slightly. Seeing this, Wang Yan immediately introduced Gu Xiaoyue to Gan Xiumei, "This is Senior Sister Gu, named Xiaoyue. She is an inner disciple of our Aojian Villa. Now that she has formed the Heart of the Sword, she is far from being comparable to a servant disciple like me."
Hearing Gu Xiaoyue's identity as an inner disciple, Gan Xiumei was filled with respect. However, Gu Xiaoyue said to Wang Yan, "Currently, I am indeed only an inner disciple, but after this matter is over and I return to the sect, I should become a true disciple."
