A Shocking Change in the Imperial City
This time, before the Sword Maniac Elder could draw his sword, Ye Fei had already made a move. He waved his hand and a rotten iron sword appeared in his hand.
He waved the rusted sword. There was no shocking sword light or majestic vital essence. It was just an ordinary sword move, but it was extremely fast and suppressed.
"This is …" The Sword Maniac Elder was shocked and quickly raised his stone sword. However, at this moment, he suddenly felt his body stiffen. An invisible aura from the rusted sword had temporarily suppressed him, although it did not last for more than a breath. However, for an expert, this short period of time was enough to determine the winner.
Clang!
The rusted sword easily pierced through the stone sword and cut a hole in the Sword Maniac Elder's sleeve.
"How is this possible? I must have seen a ghost!" Jing Wushou's eyeballs almost fell to the ground. Was he seeing things? A day ago, Ye Fei had been beaten up for ten days and ten nights. A day later, not only had Ye Fei broken through to half-step Martial Venerable, but he had also cut the Sword Maniac Elder's sleeve with one sword move.
However, the Sword Maniac Elder did not care. For the first time, a gentle smile appeared on his serious face. "Ye Fei, do you understand now?"
"Thank you, Old Master Jian. I understand where my weakness is. The heart of the sword follows the heart of the person. The strength of the sword moves is secondary. The person who uses the sword is the most important. In the past, I always followed the moves and practiced methodically, but that was just repeating the path of the predecessors. A true expert must walk his own path," Ye Fei said in a deep voice. Then, he respectfully knelt down and bowed to the Sword Maniac Elder.
He and the Old Master Jian were not master and disciple, but they were more like master and disciple. He was a respectable elder! Seeing that Ye Fei only bowed and did not acknowledge him as his master, the Sword Maniac Elder seemed to understand something. He smiled and nodded. "Get up. This old man can only teach you these superficial principles."
"No, Old Master Jian, what are you talking about? I still have a lot of things to ask the Old Master Jian. Why don't we have another round?" Ye Fei stood up excitedly.
Ten years of hard work could not compare to a master teacher. This was the logic behind it. Ye Fei had only fought with the Old Master Jian for ten days and he had broken through to Half-Step Martial Honorable. If he continued fighting, there was a possibility that he would break through to Martial Honorable.
Ye Fei felt that he was indeed too greedy.
Hearing this, Sword Maniac Elder's face twitched involuntarily as he waved his hand, "There's no rush, you've just reached the half-Martial Highness Realm. You need to consolidate your cultivation. How about this, I'll give you ten days to consolidate your cultivation at the Sword Peak."
"Is that so? Alright then!" Ye Fei felt a little regretful, but what Sword Maniac Elder said made sense. After being tortured for ten days, even if his body could withstand it, his mind was exhausted.
Ye Fei could only bow to Sword Maniac Elder and then walked down the Sword Peak with Jing Wushou, chatting and laughing. Sword Maniac Elder also smiled as he watched Ye Fei leave.
When there were no more outsiders, the sage-like Sword Maniac hurriedly wiped the sweat off his forehead and sighed, "This kid's comprehension is terrifying. I originally thought that I would have to fight him for a month before he would be enlightened. Who would have thought that he would be enlightened in ten days? This is troublesome. In ten days, he will challenge me again. If he is only a Half-Step Martial Honorable, I might lose. It seems inappropriate to fight him as a Martial Honorable."
Sword Maniac Elder was in a dilemma on the Sword Peak.
After returning to the Sword Peak to rest, Jing Wushou finally had time to tell Ye Fei where the Tenth Prince and the others had gone. When Ye Fei heard that everyone had gone their separate ways to improve their strength, he was happy but also a little regretful.
"Forget about the Tenth Prince and the others. I know Luo Xi well. If he wants to leave, he will definitely tell me first. Why did he only ask Senior Jing to pass on the message? "Ye Fei had a feeling that Luo Xi's departure was unusual.
At the same time.
Zhao City, Imperial City.
"Grandfather, do you really want to go with me to the Imperial City to see my father?" Zhao Yu stood outside the Imperial City and looked hesitantly at the old mansion master who had come with her.
After all, the relationship between Tianyun Wufu and the Imperial Family was very tense. Who knew what kind of conflict would occur if the old mansion master went in?
The old mansion master looked very serious and looked at the Imperial City with a complicated gaze. "Yu 'er, there's no harm in being careful. This time, the Emperor suddenly fell seriously ill and I have a feeling that something is wrong. With a Martial Honorable like me with you, I can protect you."
Of course, this was the old mansion master's excuse. Although Eunuch Zhang had been killed, the culprit behind the old mansion master's daughter's death, the Empress Dowager, was still alive.
On this trip to the Imperial City, on one hand, the old mansion master wanted to protect Zhao Yu. On the other hand, he wanted to test the Empress Dowager's strength.
Zhao Yu understood this point, but she could not stop him. She could only sigh and step forward. Together with the old mansion master, they flew towards the Imperial City.
"Who dares to trespass into the Imperial City!"
The guards of the Imperial City quickly discovered the two of them. On top of the city walls, the God Destroyer Crossbows, which were specially used to deal with strong martial artists, were aimed at Zhao Yu and the old mansion master.
This made Zhao Yu very angry. Although she was not favored in the Imperial Family since young, she was still a princess. Since when did these small guards dare to obstruct her?
"I am Princess Zhao Yu. Who are you? I have an impression of the Imperial City Cavalry, but I have never seen you before!" Zhao Yu asked suspiciously.
"What, she is Princess Zhao Yu? An expert from the Sacred Land Mountain River List! "
"Princess, please forgive us. We did not know that Princess was coming. Please wait for a moment. I will inform the few eunuchs."
The general in charge did not answer Zhao Yu's question. He only invited Zhao Yu down and rushed into the Imperial City.
This made Zhao Yu even more suspicious. She looked around the Imperial City. Zhao Yu suddenly realized something strange. Not only were the guards around the Imperial City all gone, even the palace maids and eunuchs walking around were different.
She could not see a single familiar face. Adding that before she returned, the Emperor was heavily injured and on the verge of death, Zhao Yu had an ominous premonition.
"Where are you from? Why have I never seen you in the Imperial City!" Zhao Yu grabbed a passing palace maid and asked.
The palace maid was frightened and immediately knelt down: "Princess, please spare me. I don't know anything. I was only chosen to enter the Imperial City a few days ago."
"Then what about you? Where are you from? Speak, or don't blame me for being ruthless!" Zhao Yu released her Martial Ancestor Realm Qi.
If it were any other Martial Master, they would not be able to withstand the pressure and would tell Zhao Yu everything they knew. But this time, after hearing Zhao Yu's words, the guards all turned pale and knelt on the ground. No one dared to answer Zhao Yu's question.
"Yu 'er, something is wrong. Come with me. Whether the Emperor dies or not, it has nothing to do with me!" The Old Mansion Master was very experienced.
