Chapter 198 Impossible, Absolutely Impossible

"What are you looking at?"

Seeing Li Xuanfeng staring at him without saying a word, Luo Wei couldn't help but frown slightly and continued,

"With Senior Brother Leng currently at our Sword Palace, and Great Hero Lei from Pan'an Mountain here as well, let alone a mere Blade Demon Yan Chu, even someone from the Earth Ranking would have to think twice about offending our Hidden Sword Palace."

Great Hero Lei Wanshan from Pan'an Mountain was a renowned Supreme Grandmaster Loose Cultivator in Tongzhou Prefecture.

He was a long-time close friend of One Heart Sword Venerable Leng Hetong.

He was also a top-tier expert at the Peak of the Mountain Shaking Realm.

Three days ago, he had been invited by Leng Hetong to come to Hidden Sword Palace to hold the fort, just to see if Yan Chu dared to attack them.

Thinking of this, Luo Wei's old eyes grew a bit sharper.

His Hidden Sword Palace had a thousand-year Legacy; there was no reason to be afraid of a young junior.

"Grand Elder!"

Suddenly, Tang Yongxiang called out, interrupting Luo Wei's train of thought.

"There is someone over there!"

"Hmm?!"

Luo Wei was startled. His robes billowed without wind, his messy white hair was instantly smoothed down, and he looked in the direction Tang Yongxiang was pointing.

He saw a figure in black standing on the opposite bank of the Panshan River, though he didn't know when they had arrived.

However, the person was wearing a bamboo hat, making it difficult to see their face.

He only then realized that Li Xuanfeng hadn't been looking at him, but at the opposite bank.

At this moment, the person in black on the other side of the river removed their bamboo hat, revealing a young and handsome face.

Moonlight fell upon him, and his long hair danced with the cold wind, giving him an air of unrestrained ease.

"Yan... Yan Chu?!!"

Li Xuanfeng, who had been kneeling on the ground, now straightened up, trembling uncontrollably as he pointed at the figure on the other bank.

He seemed to recall that night in Longhua Prefecture.

Golden Dragons roared through the night one after another, blasting the other six members of his Hidden Sword Palace's Seven Stars of Pointing Stars into scum, and even Gao Yang, who possessed the Sect Head's protective treasure, met the same fate.

That night had been too shocking.

It was something he could never forget, even now.

"Junior Brother Li, have you been driven stupid by fortune-telling?"

On the other side, Elder Xu Xing crossed his arms and sneered,

"Would Blade Demon Yan Chu appear here in the middle of the night? Do you think he is like you two? Sneaking around in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"

"He has to go to work tomorrow!"

Xiao Qing also brushed back the hair on her forehead and couldn't help but snort softly, her voice sweet and gentle.

That Blade Demon Yan Chu was clearly a browless thug with bulging veins on his forehead.

The young man on the other side of the river, though dressed plainly, was handsome; how could he possibly be the notorious Blade Demon?

"That's not it, Senior Brother Xu, he really is Blade Demon Yan Chu..."

Li Xuanfeng wanted to continue, but suddenly realized—they were about to kill him, so why on earth was he bothering to explain this to them?

"Third Elder, he is Yan Chu!"

Li Xuanfeng said this to the ashen-faced Third Elder Yu Kai. Seeing that the other party remained indifferent and clearly didn't believe him, he could only shout across the river:

"Great Hero Yan! I am Li Xuanfeng of the Hidden Sword Palace. I have a letter from the Grand Elder that I wish to deliver to you!"

Everyone else looked at him as if he were an idiot.

No one would believe that Yan Chu would appear here in the middle of the night.

How could things be such a coincidence?

"Li Xuanfeng! Stop playing the fool!"

Law Enforcement Hall Elder Yue Qingcang frowned and shouted coldly.

"Do you think you can escape punishment this way?"

"You had better come back with us to accept punishment from the Old Palace Master! That way, you might still have a chance to live!"

Li Xuanfeng seemed not to hear him. He pulled a letter from his bosom and shouted:

"Great Hero Yan! Do you see this?!"

"This is the letter from the Grand Elder to you. My Hidden Sword Palace has no intention of being enemies with Great Hero Yan!"

"Xuanfeng! That's enough!"

Yu Kai said with an ugly expression:

"At worst, we go back and face death; it's just a matter of winner and loser!"

"Heh!"

Tang Yongxiang shook his head and sneered:

"It seems Junior Brother Li won't shed tears until he sees his coffin!"

"You have always been unreliable, and I didn't expect you to still be in this state even now!"

"Fine! I will let you die knowing exactly why!"

As he spoke, a point of brilliant starlight appeared on his index finger, seeming brighter than the full moon in the sky on this night by the riverbank.

Pfft!

An astonishing Sword Intent erupted. The starlight sword finger instantly appeared on the opposite bank, like a comet with a tail flame, descending upon the young man's head.

Then...

It was gone.

Just like falling into the ocean, the sword finger didn't even splash, and the flame was extinguished.

"What?!!"

Tang Yongxiang cried out in shock, his eyes wide.

The others also felt a jolt in their hearts; they finally sensed that something was wrong.

Tang Yongxiang was a Great Grandmaster at the Middle Stage.

Although that starlight sword finger was just fired casually, its power was enough to cut off the hundreds-of-meters-wide Panshan River and blast out a small lake.

How could it have disappeared so silently?

"Who are you?!" Tang Yongxiang couldn't help but shout.

"Idiot! Didn't he just tell you?"

The young man on the opposite bank raised his head, his voice slightly hoarse and somewhat unrestrained.

Yan Chu had been lurking outside the Hidden Sword Palace for a day.

In his sensing, there were three auras within the Hidden Sword Palace that were comparable to his cultivation level.

Although he was confident that he wouldn't lose in a one-on-three fight, he wasn't sure he could win completely.

In this situation, he naturally wouldn't act rashly.

After all, he had come here to gain experience.

Zhu Qingluan was right.

Once cultivation reaches the Peak of the Ninth Realm, it is very difficult for ordinary people without Opportunity to Breakthrough to the Heaven-Man Realm.

Therefore, those Supreme Grandmasters who had stayed at the Peak of the Ninth Realm for a long time would spend most of their time practicing other martial arts or Cultivation Techniques to increase their martial foundation.

He possessed various supreme skills, but others might not be much worse than him.

After all, they were all old things nearly two hundred years old!

Under these circumstances, Yan Chu had decided to lurk outside the Hidden Sword Palace.

After all, according to the information Zhu Qingluan gave him, the Hidden Sword Palace only had one One Heart Sword Venerable who could be considered an expert; the others were not worth mentioning.

So the other two auras similar to his must have been helpers invited by this old thing.

Yan Chu didn't believe they would stay here forever.

Everyone was a Supreme Grandmaster; they had their own things to busy themselves with, and they would naturally leave after a long time.

He had been keeping watch outside just fine.

He hadn't expected to see two Great Grandmasters sneaking out tonight.

Behind the two were several other people acting just as sneakily, one of whom was Star-Gazing Sword Elder Luo Wei, one of the three Elders of the Sword Palace.

Wasn't this an Opportunity given to him by the heavens?

Killing these people would mean another large amount of experience.

Once he leveled up another wave, he would just happen to head back to the Hidden Sword Palace and take the head of One Heart Sword Venerable.

He hadn't expected that when he followed them to the Panshan River, he would see a good show on the spot.

He hadn't realized that there were his own people inside the Hidden Sword Palace!

"You really are Yan Chu?!!"

Tang Yongxiang's voice was filled with disbelief. He swung his sleeves and roared:

"Impossible!! Absolutely impossible!!!"

"How could you appear here?!!"
