Emperor Li's Realm was ruled by Emperor Li, who founded the Dali Dynasty and ruled both the Upper and Lower Worlds.
The Upper Worlds were naturally ruled by Emperor Li, while the Lower Worlds of the Dali Dynasty were ruled by members of Emperor Li's royal family. They selected talents from the Lower Worlds and sent them to the Upper Worlds to train.
The Dali Dynasty was divided into nine counties, which was similar to the Nine States of Emperor Xia's Realm.
The difference was that all nine counties of the Dali Dynasty had county governors, who were extremely powerful and ruled over a county alone. Generally speaking, they were the most powerful people in that county.
The County of Yan was one of the top three in the Lower Worlds of the Dali Dynasty.
For many years, the County of Yan had produced swordsmen.
There was a saying in the Dali Dynasty that the swordsmen of the Dali Dynasty were divided into the swordsmen of the County of Yan and the others.
As such, those who trained in swordsmanship in the Dali Dynasty would all go to the County of Yan to train.
In the County of Yan, there were five holy lands of swordsmanship and 18 sword saints. One could imagine how powerful the swordsmen of the county were.
Swordsmanship had always been something that cultivators yearned for, and there were many stories about swordsmen.
Now, there was a story that happened in Liuyue City of the County of Yan.
In Liuyue City, there was a young swordsman who rose to fame. It was said that the swordsman came from the Mountain of Hidden Swords in the eastern region. He gained enlightenment in one day and traveled the world, serving justice and killing evildoers along the way.
According to the legend, there was once a bandit who ran amok outside the Mountain of Hidden Swords. They plundered and enslaved the weak. This swordsman traveled thousands of miles with his sword and killed his way into the bandit's lair alone. He killed his way into the mountain and turned it into a river of blood.
There was also a clan of the Way of the Sword that did evil things in the dark, even training in evil arts and using young girls as a guide. The swordsman fought his way into the clan and cut off the head of the clan leader.
Of course, the most famous thing happened recently, in Liuyue City.
The son of Flowing Moon City's City Lord's younger sister was lustful and had taken a liking to one of the women in the city. However, the other party did not agree to it, so he used some underhanded means to force the other party into a corner, forcing the other party's family into a dead end. When the sword cultivator found out about it, he killed the other party with a single sword strike.
The beloved son of the City Lord of Liuyue City was killed. He brought people to arrest them, but they were all killed. The City Lord was furious and led the army of the City Lord's Office to kill them all.
However, in that battle, the elites of the City Lord's Mansion lost their lives, and the City Lord was killed.
It was worth noting that the City Lord of Liuyue City was an existence at the pinnacle of Sage Plane. However, it was said that the swordsman had only used one sword.
In reality, these stories were all very cliché, and they happened all the time in every corner. People who bullied the weak, lechers, and plunderers were always the most common, and it was impossible to eliminate them all. It was just that the sword cultivator happened to meet them, and he had enough strength to settle the score.
Otherwise, these matters would not have caused the slightest ripple in the vast Dali Dynasty.
It was rumored that this sword cultivator had a very simple name. It was not domineering and was easy to remember.
He was called the Seventh Swordsman. Some people speculated that he might have seven swords on him, so he was called the Seventh Swordsman.
Of course, they did not know that he chose this name purely out of laziness. There was once a swordsman named Yan Jiu, so he was called the Seventh Swordsman.
The death of the City Lord of Liuyue City caused a great uproar. It was worth noting that he had another identity besides being the City Lord. He was a disciple of the Sword Clan of the Gale, a holy land of swordsmanship, founded by the Sword Saint, Jian Kuangren. His swordsmanship was extremely domineering, fierce, and wild.
Liuyue City was under the jurisdiction of the Sword Clan of the Gale.
The Sword Clan of the Gale would not have let the death of the City Lord go. It was said that there were already mighty ones heading to Liuyue City.
At that moment, in the manor of a dead house in Liuyue City.
The sound of a guqin was heard, and a woman was seen playing it. The woman was delicate and beautiful, and she was very attractive. It would not have been surprising if she had encountered a lecher.
A young man was lying on the ground not far away from the woman. A sword was casually placed next to him, and he was drinking from a wine gourd in his right hand.
The young man was extremely handsome, and his eyes seemed to have a strange charm. At that moment, he seemed to be enjoying himself, drinking and listening to music.
That young man was naturally the Seventh Swordsman, who had shaken Liuyue City.
Of course, he was also Ye Futian, who had trained all the way from Emperor Xia's Realm to the Nine States and then to Dali.
He trained as he walked. He did not enter Emperor Li's Realm directly from the Upper Worlds, but from the Nine States to the Lower Worlds of Dali Dynasty.
Ye Futian had two goals for this trip. One was indeed to train and hone his state of mind, so it was normal for him to come from the Lower Worlds.
The second goal was to enter Dali directly from Emperor Xia's Realm, and there would inevitably be flaws.
And how would Emperor Li's Realm investigate a swordsman from the Lower Worlds?
It was especially so since he was a swordsman from the Mountain of Hidden Swords in the County of Yan, a holy land for swordsmen. His trip was extremely risky, and he naturally had to be extremely careful, not leaving any flaws.
The woman slowly stopped after the song ended. She looked at the handsome figure lying on the ground, drinking. She said softly, "Seventh Young Master, you should leave. The Sword Clan of the Gale is a holy land of swordsmanship. If they find out the truth, they might not make things difficult for us. But you killed the City Lord of Liuyue City, and they will definitely come for you."
"Beautiful woman, fine wine, and such a beautiful song. How delightful. Why leave?" Ye Futian chuckled and said. The woman lowered her head slightly, looking rather shy. She then looked at Ye Futian, who was lying on the ground. She thought that it was a blessing to have been able to meet such a distinguished person.
While they had not known each other for long, that extremely handsome young man had left a deep impression on her. His words and actions were unbridled and unrestrained, as if that was his style of doing things.
However, she could not forget his extraordinary bearing when he wielded a sword. With a sword in his hand, it was as if no one in the world could take a step forward, and blood would flow when the sword was unsheathed.
"Furthermore, is the Sword Clan of the Gale that powerful?" The young man put down the wine gourd and smiled at her with his extremely handsome eyes. The woman felt lost for a moment, as if she was deeply attracted to those eyes.
She did not dare to look at him again and avoided his eyes. She lowered her head and said, "I know that you have exceptional training, but the Sword Clan of the Gale is a holy land, after all. There are many extremely powerful swordsman geniuses there. Those who came this time will not be weak, and there will be many of them. While you have incredible powers, there is still no need for you to stay here and risk your life for me."
"Don't think too much about it. I'm not doing this for you," Ye Futian smiled and said. The woman felt her face heat up when she heard that.
"Just as well. I'll see what the swordsmen of the Sword Clan of the Gale are capable of. I wonder if the genius swordsmen of the Sword Clan of the Gale will be able to force me to swing my sword a second time." Ye Futian's voice was lackadaisical. There was no way he would leave. Since he had entered Dali, he naturally had to attract some attention.
It was not just the attention of the holy lands of the Lower Worlds. It was even the attention of the cultivators of the Upper Worlds of Dali Dynasty.
As such, he needed to take some shortcuts. But then again, he could not be too hasty. He needed to be just right.
The woman was rather speechless, but she seemed to have gotten used to Ye Futian's arrogant words. She had heard a lot of them over the past few days.
"Seventh Young Master." At that moment, an anxious voice was heard. A middle-aged man rushed over and took a look at his daughter, then at Ye Futian, who was lying on the ground, and said, "Seventh Young Master, Nie Yun of the Sword Clan of the Gale has personally brought people to Liuyue City. It is said that they have already arrived at the City Lord Office. I appreciate your kindness, but it is best that you leave now. Otherwise, if you drag me into this, even a thousand deaths would not be enough to atone for our sins."
"Is this Nie Yun very powerful?" Ye Futian did not seem to mind at all and asked lackadaisically.
"The number one below Saint Plane in the Sword Clan of the Gale. Nie Yun's powers would rank among the top ten in the entire County of Yan," the middle-aged man said.
"Top ten in the County of Yan?" Ye Futian said nonchalantly, "Even if the number one below Saint Plane in the County of Yan were to come, he would not be able to take a single attack from me."
"Is that so?" A voice was heard from far away. The Seventh Swordsman howled from far away as the voice was heard. Many figures were seen riding on swords.
Not only that, but there were also many experts gathering around the house and looking at it.
"The number one below Saint Plane in the County of Yan would not be able to take a single attack from you?" A cold voice was heard and everyone around was in an uproar. While the Seventh Swordsman's powers were indeed formidable, but he was simply too arrogant and ignorant to have made such bold claims.
The County of Yan was a huge place, with geniuses everywhere. There were countless mighty ones with talents in the way of the sword. Just how powerful would the number one below Saint Plane be?
The middle-aged man and the woman turned pale, knowing that it was too late.
At that moment, the middle-aged man's expression turned fierce and he stepped forward, saying, "Senior, it was indeed the people of the city lord's office who went overboard in this matter. The Seventh Young Master Yan was merely helping out in a sense of justice. If you want to take someone, then take us instead, senior."
"This is none of your business," Nie Yun said plainly. Many gasped in astonishment as soon as he said that. He was indeed someone from a holy land. It seemed that they had investigated the matter thoroughly. It was apparent that they had no intention of pursuing the matter when he said that it was none of their business.
However, the swordsman was the one who killed the man, and the Sword Clan of the Gale would not have let him off just like that.
Many took to the air and looked inside the residence. The swordsman was still lying there lazily. He did not seem to mind Nie Yun's arrival at all.
"I'll let you go, considering that you're still able to tell right from wrong. Go back," Ye Futian said plainly.
"How presumptuous." Nie Yun shouted angrily. He stepped out, and suddenly, sword will filled the sky. A gust of wind blew towards Ye Futian who was below.
He was not the only one. All the swordsmen of the Sword Clan of the Gale were enraged, unleashing their sword will.
"Why bother?" Ye Futian said lazily. He got up slowly and took to the air, looking at Nie Yun.
"Draw your sword." Ye Futian stared at Nie Yun. Nie Yun's expression turned solemn when he saw his opponent's eyes. A raging aura emanated around him, coalescing into a sword.
Terrifying Tempest Sword Intent appeared around Nie Yun. At this moment, he was incomparably tyrannical.
Many around him looked at Nie Yun and saw a terrifying storm of sword aura formed around him, towering in the air. Many gasped, thinking that he was indeed the number one below Saint Plane in the Sword Clan of the Gale.
Voom. The wind blew and Nie Yun spun forward. The storm grew stronger and stronger, heading for Ye Futian.
Sword aura filled the air in an instant.
Ye Futian felt the pressure of the storm. In front of him, an overbearing heavy sword floated there.
Nie Yun charged at him. He took a step forward and the air trembled violently. The heavy sword was brought down at lightning speed. Everyone saw the heavy sword pierce through the storm, tearing the terrifying storm apart like a hot knife through butter.
Boom! Nie Yun's figure came to a halt with a loud rumble, and his body fell to the ground.
