Chapter 421 Lin Fengmian, how dare you hit me?
Chapter 421 Lin Fengmian, how dare you hit me?
Luo Xue chuckled softly. “Alright, Your Highness-no, I should say Your Majesty.”
She playfully mimicked Lin Fengmian’s gesture, using her finger to tilt his chin upward, her eyes sparkling with amusement.
“Your Majesty, aren’t you afraid that Jun Yunshang will turn you over to the Heavenly Fiend Sovereign? After all, she’s part of the Heavenly Fiend Hall now.”
Lin Fengmian replied with a serious tone, “I trust Yunshang, Luo Xue. I hope you can trust her too.”
“Even though Zhen Yuan is in her possession, it doesn’t mean that she’s involved in the fall of Qionghua. And even if she is, she must have been forced into it.”
He couldn’t bring himself to believe that Jun Yunshang had truly played a role in the destruction of Qionghua, and it was evident that Luo Xue shared his sentiments.
Luo Xue smiled warmly. “Don’t worry, I was just teasing. Who knows? Maybe I was the one who gave her Zhen Yuan?”
Lin Fengmian was stunned for a moment. This actually made sense.
Luo Xue tapped his forehead playfully. “Cat got your tongue?”
Lin Fengmian caught her mischievous hand, his expression turning grave. “Luo Xue, I have new information!”
“What is it?” Luo Xue asked, her curiosity piqued.
“Information about the Sword Dao Sovereign a thousand years from now!” Lin Fengmian solemnly explained.
“Tell me!” Luo Xue’s expression changed to one of seriousness.
Lin Fengmian continued, “The Sword Dao Sovereign a thousand years from now is known as the Sovereign of Imperial Authority. It is unclear whether they are male or female-they are shrouded in mystery.”
“Their sect is called the Imperial Authority Sword Sect, which has replaced Qionghua as the number one sword sect in the Divine Prefecture.”
Luo Xue raised her hand to interrupt him. “What did you say it’s called? The Yellow Spring Sword Sect? Write it down for me!”
Lin Fengmian carefully wrote the characters for “Imperial Authority” in her palm, and Luo Xue looked puzzled.
“Are you sure it’s ‘Imperial Authority’ and not ‘Yellow Spring’?”
Lin Fengmian nodded. “I specifically had her write it down to avoid any confusion.”
Luo Xue frowned. “There’s a Yellow Spring Sword Sect where I’m from – the ‘Yellow Spring’ of ‘Biluo Yellow Spring.'”
Lin Fengmian exclaimed, “Ah! This Imperial Authority Sword Sect is located in the Biluo Mountains near the Divine Demon Ruins, and it’s a subsidiary of Qionghua. What about the one you’re talking about?”
Luo Xue’s expression became serious. “It matches! It seems like they just changed the name.”
Lin Fengmian spoke earnestly, “You should thoroughly investigate this Imperial Authority Sword Sect. It might be related to the fall of Qionghua.”
Luo Xue nodded in understanding. “I know. I’ll bring it up with my master when I return to Qionghua.”
Lin Fengmian hesitated for a moment. “You’re going to tell the Qionghua Sovereign about this?”
Luo Xue nodded firmly. “Of course! Something as important as the fall of Qionghua, how could I not inform my master?”
Lin Fengmian thought for a moment. “We have never tried to tell anyone about this in the past thousand years. You can give it a try.”
“But remember, if you feel that something is wrong, stop immediately. Don’t risk revealing too much and avoid any backlash.”
If they could inform the Qionghua Sovereign about this, Lin Fengmian and Luo Xue would no longer be fighting alone.
After all, the Qionghua Sovereign was the strongest Sword Dao Sovereign!
But he was worried that Luo Xue might suffer some kind of retribution for leaking heavenly secrets.
After all, he was fine, perhaps because of this Twin Fish Space.
Luo Xue smiled reassuringly. “Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have decided to tell my master.”
“If there really is some kind of punishment for disturbing the natural order, my master can save me.”
Lin Fengmian teased, “Luo Xue, you are always so smart!”
Luo Xue pouted and pretended to be upset. “Why do I feel like you’re looking down on me?”
Lin Fengmian quickly waved his hands in the air. “Not at all! By the way, Luo Xue, what’s the situation on your side?”
Luo Xue frowned worriedly. “It seems like the Heavenly Fiend Sovereign hasn’t given up. He’s deliberately using the Moon Shadow Dynasty to cause trouble for the Jun Dynasty.”
“Although I killed a Void Realm cultivator from the Moon Shadow Dynasty, I didn’t reveal my identity. Many people suspect that it wasn’t me.”
“Now, both the Moon Shadow Dynasty and the restless elements within the Jun Dynasty are beginning to stir. This could lead to considerable trouble.”
Lin Fengmian understood that Luo Xue wasn’t unwilling to reveal herself, but without him, the Thousand Illusions Technique had already failed.
“Luo Xue, don’t worry about it for now. Concentrate on preparing for battle. Let those troublemakers come out of the woodwork. It’ll save us the trouble of hunting them down one by one”.
A flash of killing intent crossed his eyes as he coldly said, “When I return, I’ll deal with each and every one of those clowns.”
Luo Xue hesitated. “Are you sure we shouldn’t do anything?”
Lin Fengmian smiled. “Don’t worry. Let them stir up trouble for a while. It won’t take me more than four days to find an opportunity to come to your side.”
Four days later would be the start of the Saint Position Battle, and he had to be there to protect Luo Xue.
Luo Xue nodded and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She wasn’t good at handling such situations, but the mess in the Jun Dynasty had been caused by her.
Not wanting to waste her time, Lin Fengmian gently said, “You should head back now. I’ll leave as well. Any longer and Shangguan Qiong might get suspicious.”
Luo Xue looked at him reluctantly. “Alright, see you then!”
“See you!”
With a flash of sword light, Lin Fengmian awoke from the darkness and opened his eyes.
What greeted him was a pale, bloodless face. A pair of bloodshot eyes were staring at him from underneath disheveled hair, looking particularly sinister.
The ghostly face was pressed close to his, and when he opened his eyes, it widened its eyes even further.
“Ah! A ghost!”
Lin Fengmian instinctively screamed and swung his hand, slapping the ghostly face away.
It wasn’t until he heard Shangguan Qiong’s cry of pain that he realized what had happened.
“Sec… Sect Master?”
Shangguan Qiong lay on the ground not far away, clutching her face and gritting her teeth. “Lin Fengmian, how dare you hit me?”
After enduring the Soul Death Curse, she had wanted Lin Fengmian to fetch some water for her, but the guy had been as still as a corpse.
She had struggled to get up and drink some water herself, only to find that Lin Fengmian had no trace of Spiritual Energy.
This had terrified her, leaving her face pale.
If Lin Fengmian died, both she and the Joyful Union Sect would be finished.
In her current state, she wasn’t even sure if she could make it back to the Joyful Union Sect safely.
If she fell into the hands of someone with ill intentions, she’d most likely face a fate worse than death.
After watching him for a while, he had suddenly woken up and slapped her.
This infuriated Shangguan Qiong!
Lin Fengmian was both amused and annoyed. He quickly ran over to help her up.
“Sect Master, you were right in front of me without making a sound. It was just a reflex!”
Shangguan Qiong angrily pushed him away. “Get lost, you idiot! You did it on purpose!”
Lin Fengmian earnestly defended himself. “I swear on my conscience, it really wasn’t intentional!”
“A beautiful ghost like you, Sect Master, could even turn a nightmare into a sweet dream.”
He helped Shangguan Qiong up with an apologetic smile. “If you’re brave enough, even a ghost can take maternity leave.”
Shangguan Qiong rolled her eyes at him. “Why was there no trace of spiritual energy on you?”
Lin Fengmian dodged the question. “It’s a technique from a cultivation method I’ve been practicing.”
Shangguan Qiong snorted but didn’t press further, though her brows remained furrowed.
Already battered and bruised, the slap had only added to her misery.
“Sect Master, where did you hurt yourself? Let me massage it for you.”
“Huh? You little pervert, where are you touching?”
“I see it’s swollen like a clay pot. I just wanted to help reduce the swelling.”
Shangguan Qiong, weak and panting, spat out, “Get lost!”
