Nie Tian noticed the sword mark on Han Ling's face and his expression darkened.
Leaving a sword mark on a swordsman's face was a great humiliation to the swordsman!
"Sir, I'm fine. I accidentally scratched myself, "Han Ling subconsciously covered the sword mark on his face and said nervously.
"Han Ling, tell me, who did this?" Nie Tian obviously wouldn't believe such an explanation. A swordsman in the Sword Soul realm would scratch his own face. Even a ghost wouldn't believe it.
Moreover, the person who did this had obviously infused a terrifying sword intent into the sword mark on Han Ling's face. That was why the sword mark didn't disappear after such a long time. Otherwise, with Han Ling's strength, this kind of sword mark would heal instantly.
This person left a sword mark on Han Ling's face to humiliate him!
"Sir, I …" Han Ling wanted to say something but stopped. His forehead was covered in sweat. "It's my own fault."
Nie Tian frowned even more. He turned to Pu Feifan and asked, "Pu Feifan, tell me, what happened?"
Pu Feifan looked at Han Ling and finally said, "The sword mark on Senior Martial Brother's face was left by Qin Yang of the Sword Ocean Spectator!"
Nie Tian's eyes flickered as he asked in a deep voice, "Sword Gazers! What's going on?"
Sword Ocean Spectator was one of the Nine Major Sword Sects of the Heaven Realm, just like the Hidden Sword Valley.
"Junior Martial Brother, let me explain myself." Han Ling waved his hand and calmed down. He looked at Nie Tian and said, "Sir, when I was young, I was engaged to Lady Qin Yue of the Sword Ocean Spectator. I had forgotten about it."
"But when I returned from the Sumeru World, I met Lady Qin Yue by chance. We fell in love with each other. After I returned to the Wuji Mountain, my teacher found out about this and asked me to go to the Sword Ocean Spectator to propose. "
"But I went to the Sword Ocean Spectator and told the leader of the Sword Ocean Spectator, Lord Qin Changqi. Not only did they not let me meet Lady Qin Yue, they also forced me to fight Qin Yang. I was not Qin Yang's match, so I became like this. "
After saying all this, Han Ling's expression became much more relaxed. He sighed and said, "Lady Qin Yue and I were not fated to be together in the end. We can't blame anyone else."
"Who is Qin Yang?" After listening to everything, Nie Tian's face darkened.
He knew about the engagement between Han Ling and Qin Yue, and it was Qin Changqi, the head of the Sword Observation Sea, who had suggested it.
At that time, Nie Tian was like the sun in the sky, and Han Fei was also a genius swordsman of the younger generation. The reason why Guan Jianhai took the initiative to propose the marriage was because he wanted to borrow Nie Tian's reputation to raise Guan Jianhai's status in the Heaven Realm.
But who would have thought that Nie Tian would fall in the end?
Everyone related to Nie Tian avoided him like the plague.
Han Ling had originally forgotten about this engagement, but he had met Qin Yue by chance, so he brought it up again.
The people of the Sea of Swords obviously looked down on Han Ling, so not only did they break off the engagement, but they also humiliated Han Ling.
If the people of the Sea of Swords only broke off the engagement, Nie Tian could understand and could also accept it. After all, he had already fallen.
But the people of the Sea of Swords left a sword scar on Han Ling's face, causing unprecedented humiliation to him. This point, Nie Tian absolutely could not accept it!
No wonder when he saw Han Ling again, the latter's mentality was completely different. His mood was gloomy, and his will was downcast.
"Qin Yang is Miss Qin Yue's elder brother. Not only did he injure Senior Apprentice Brother, he even said that if not on account of Teacher's face, he would cripple Senior Apprentice Brother's Sword Dao cultivation. He even scolded that Senior Apprentice Brother is a good-for-nothing, not even able to make it onto the Heavenly Sword Storm List at over a hundred years old. "Pu Feifan was young after all, shooting his mouth off.
When Han Ling went to the Sea of Swords, Pu Feifan went with him. Hence, he knew everything very clearly.
"Junior Apprentice Brother, don't say anymore!" Han Ling gave a low roar, his expression ugly to the extreme. Pu Feifan's words were undoubtedly sprinkling salt on his wounds.
His talent was indeed not good. At this age, but he only had Second Level Heavenly Emperor strength. His Sword Dao realm was also just Sword Soul.
This kind of strength and talent, forget about comparing to Pu Feifan, even Xue Shuangqing was much stronger than him.
"Pu Feifan, what else did Qin Yang say?" Nie Tian had a grim expression. Although he was calm on the surface, the blood in his heart was surging wildly without ceasing.
Pu Feifan gave Han Ling a glance and said with an indignant look, "Qin Yang even said that Senior Apprentice Brother can't make it onto the Heavenly Sword Storm List in this lifetime. If Senior Apprentice Brother can make it onto the Heavenly Sword Storm List, he'll personally send Miss Qin Yue to the Limitless Mountain. Furthermore, he'll even kowtow and apologize to Senior Apprentice Brother."
The Limitless Mountain was precisely where Mo Qianjun was at.
"Is that so?" Nie Tian's gaze was dark, his eyes glimmering with a cold light. He practically squeezed the two words out from the gaps of his teeth.
Back then, when Sea of Swords proposed the engagement, he did not say such words.
When I'm a big tree, you lean on me to enjoy the shade. When the tree topples, you step on it together with others.
This kind of change in attitude was really intolerable!
If Han Ling was not Mo Qianjun's disciple, the people from Sea of Swords would have directly crippled him or even killed him.
Not only did Qin Yang humiliate Han Ling by leaving a sword scar on his face, but he also mocked Han Ling that he would never make it onto the Heavenly Sword Storm List in this lifetime. This was a huge blow to Han Ling, and it even left behind an inner demon in his heart.
Once a martial artist had an inner demon in his heart, it would be as difficult as climbing a mountain for him to improve his strength.
The path of martial arts was like rowing a boat against the current. If one did not even have the motivation to move forward, how could one reach the peak?
"Mister, I'm useless. I can't blame anyone else," Han Ling said with his head lowered in disappointment.
"Bullsh * t!" Nie Tian suddenly roared, his entire body surging with a majestic aura. He suddenly looked at Han Ling and shouted in a deep voice, "Han Ling, raise your head!"
"Mister, I …" Han Ling suddenly felt a violent aura enveloping him. He could not help but raise his head, his expression slightly stiff.
"Han Ling, you are Han Fei's son. You are not inferior to anyone!" Nie Tian looked at Han Ling coldly and shouted angrily, "Your father is still imprisoned in the Purgatory of the Ends of the Universe. He is enduring the torture of the Soul Refining Fire every day. He is waiting for you to save him! If you continue to be depressed, is this what a son should do? "
Han Ling looked at Nie Tian, but he did not know what to say.
"It's all because of Qin Yang that Senior Brother became like this. One day, when my strength is strong enough, I will definitely make him kneel in front of Senior Brother and apologize!" At this time, Pu Feifan clenched his fists tightly, his eyes flashing with anger.
"Han Ling, do you see this?" Nie Tian's eyes darkened again, and he shouted, "Pu Feifan is only a child, but he still knows how to take revenge. You have been humiliated so much, do you not want to improve and continue to be depressed? How can you be a Swordsman if you become depressed after a little setback! "
As the sonorous voice fell, it was like a steel needle piercing into Han Ling's heart, causing him to tremble uncontrollably.
Nie Tian was right. If he, Han Ling, continued to be depressed like this, he would not be worthy of being a son!
If he did not even have the intention to take revenge, how could he be a Swordsman!
