Chapter 201 If you can't handle it, find the reason yourself.

Xiao Qing's pretty, fair Face showed a conflicted expression, her delicate brows tightly furrowed.

Naturally, she wanted to obtain the resource allocation from the Hidden Sword Palace.

But to ignore the deaths of the Sect Elders and Senior Brothers, and to offer herself to the tiger, was a hurdle she couldn't quite overcome in her heart.

Suddenly, a gust of strong wind swept through the area.

A tall figure draped in black appeared, and a pair of eyes devoid of any emotion looked over, causing Xiao Qing's heart to tremble.

"Great Hero Yan!"

Yu Kai and the other man hurriedly stepped forward to salute, their aged Faces wearing fawning smiles.

Yan Chu's Aura was now at Perfection, and he looked so imposing that one could never forget him after a single glance.

He stood with his hands behind his back and asked indifferently:

"Right now, in the Hidden Sword Palace, besides Leng Hetong, which other Supreme Grandmasters are there?"

Yu Kai hurriedly replied:

"Earlier today, Palace Master Qin Hexuan just left for Tongzhou Prefecture city; the daughter of the Prefectural Governors Mansion is getting married tomorrow, and he went to be a guest."

"Right now, in the palace, besides that old immortal Leng Hetong, there is also Lei Wanshan from Pan'an Mountain. He is known as the 'Nine Heavens Mad Thunder,' and his Profound Thunder True Cultivation Technique has already reached the Peak of the Ninth Realm, which is not a bit inferior to Leng Hetong."

"Profound Thunder True Cultivation Technique? A lightning-attribute Cultivation Technique?"

"Exactly!"

Yu Kai nodded and said:

"Although Lei Wanshan is advanced in years, his strength remains extremely formidable; he has few rivals among those of the same Realm."

"If not for the heartbreak he suffered in his early years, if he had established a Sect in Tongzhou Prefecture, his influence would likely not be much weaker than our Hidden Sword Palace."

"Hmm!"

Yan Chu asked again:

"Are there any others?"

"No more!" Yu Kai shook his head.

Yan Chu was noncommittal.

His sensing outside the Hidden Sword Palace could not be wrong; there were three Auras of the Peak of the Ninth Realm there, so it couldn't be a mistake.

"Come here!"

He beckoned toward the distance.

A hint of hesitation appeared on Xiao Qing's exquisitely beautiful Face, and she clenched her delicate hands, but still walked over slowly under Yan Chu's oppressive gaze.

When Xiao Qing arrived at his side, the corners of Yan Chu's mouth curled up slightly, and he lifted her flawless white chin, smiling:

"So afraid of me? Could it be that I might eat you?"

"Hmph!"

Xiao Qing snorted in shame and anger, moving her chin away to dodge Yan Chu's wandering hand.

Beside them, Yu Kai and Li Xuanfeng were terrified, frantically giving Xiao Qing eye signals.

This person killed without blinking, and his notoriety would forever circulate in the Jianghu!

Defying him would truly lead to bloodshed.

"Hehe!"

Yan Chu didn't mind, once again placing his hand on Xiao Qing's exquisitely beautiful Face; her skin was smooth and warm to the touch, feeling excellent.

"You want resources to achieve a Breakthrough in your Cultivation, yet you also want to maintain the airs of a cold and aloof Sword Immortal to spread a good reputation. How can there be such a perfect situation in this world?"

"Why do you think I haven't killed you? Is it because I like you putting on airs for me?"

"Put away that attitude of yours!"

"If you want to put on an act, go do it in front of others; don't put on airs in front of me!"

"You—"

Xiao Qing's heart trembled; she stared fixedly at Yan Chu, biting her silver teeth together, but did not dare to say another word.

The young man before her was different from the Senior Brothers and Jianghu men who had pursued her before. In front of Yu Kai and the other man, he had mercilessly torn off her mask, leaving her with no Face at all.

Moreover, judging by the dangerous Aura exuding from him, he likely didn't care about her at all and was capable of killing her.

"Hehe!"

Yan Chu sneered, wrapped his arm around Xiao Qing's willow-like waist, and pulled, drawing the beauty into his embrace. A faint fragrance immediately lingered at the tip of his nose.

Xiao Qing was pulled uncontrollably into Yan Chu's embrace.

This time she did not resist, allowing a large hand to lift her small, delicate chin, and then her red lips were covered.

For a long while, until Xiao Qing felt she was about to pass out from the kiss, was she finally released.

Only then did Yan Chu say indifferently:

"After this, you should get along well with me. If you can't get along, find the reason yourself!"

Xiao Qing's heart was in chaos, and she lowered her head, not saying a word.

"Now I ask you, besides the two old immortals Leng Hetong and Lei Wanshan, who else is in the Hidden Sword Palace?"

Xiao Qing's earlobes were still as red as blood. Hearing Yan Chu's words, she hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"There is also an expert from the capital named Liu Sheng, who is a subordinate of the First Prince. His strength is not weaker than the Old Palace Master."

"Our Hidden Sword Palace has defected to the First Prince. This time, Liu Sheng came under the First Prince's orders. Even if you don't go to the Hidden Sword Palace, the Old Palace Master and the others plan to head to Cangzhou Prefecture in a few days to wipe you out along with the World Society, clipping the Empress Dowager's wings."

Beside them, Yu Kai and Li Xuanfeng looked at each other, both seeing the shock in the other's eyes.

They knew absolutely nothing about this matter.

But it was understandable; they were excluded from the core of the Hidden Sword Palace, so how could Leng Hetong and the others possibly tell them about such things?

Yu Kai couldn't help but show a worried expression.

Right now, there were three Supreme Grandmasters at the Peak in the Hidden Sword Palace. Could Yan Chu handle them?

"Great Hero Yan, why don't you ask the Empress Dowager for reinforcements? Have her send two experts over?"

"No need!"

Yan Chu waved his hand and said:

"By the time the Empress Dowager sends people over, the meal will have already gone cold!"

"We are killing our way back to the Hidden Sword Palace tonight!"

"Tonight, I will make the Hidden Sword Palace flow with blood!!"

Yan Chu's words were filled with Killing Intent, causing the three people present to change color slightly.

Before Xiao Qing could think, she felt a large hand cover her hip, and her entire body was lifted by a gust of strong wind, rising straight into the high sky.

The four of them moved at lightning speed, rapidly heading toward the Hidden Sword Palace hundreds of miles away.

...

Meanwhile, inside the Hidden Sword Palace.

In the main hall where the Grand Elder Gu Chang was located.

Seeing the Old Palace Master Leng Hetong appear suddenly, along with more than ten Sword Palace Elders, Gu Chang couldn't help but change color slightly.

"Old Palace Master, what is the meaning of this?"

The people before him were glaring like tigers, each looking at him with unkind expressions.

The few servant Disciples in the main hall, struck by this terrifying Aura, all turned pale, fear in their hearts.

"Gu Chang, you have disappointed me too much!"

Leng Hetong's complexion was as rosy as a baby's, but there was no baby-like smile; instead, it revealed a faint Killing Intent.

"The Hidden Sword Palace has treated you well, yet you want to defect to the enemy and betray us. What exactly is your intention?"

Gu Chang's expression shifted, his eyes flickering, but in the end, he became resolute and sneered:

"Old Palace Master, the Hidden Sword Palace has treated me well? I don't think so, right?"

"I achieved a Breakthrough to Supreme Grandmaster forty years ago, yet all these years my Cultivation has not advanced an inch. Why? Isn't it because you have always stubbornly guarded the core Cultivation Technique of this sword manual and refused to give it to me?"

"That Yu Leju is a piece of trash; he's so old and still hasn't achieved a Breakthrough to the Middle Stage of the Mountain Shaking Realm. If I had inherited the position of Sword Master of the Tyrant Sword lineage, I would have already been at the Late Stage of the Mountain Shaking Realm, or even the Peak."

"Aren't you just afraid that my Cultivation would Breakthrough and I would replace you as the number one person in the Sword Palace?"

"Otherwise, why would you have suppressed me for so many years?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the main hall fell into silence.

The ten or more Elders behind Leng Hetong all changed color slightly, looking at each other.
