Chapter 97 The Return of the Threefold Qi

"What?"

"Is that true?!"

Zhai Jing's words filled the two Sixth Realm High Ancestors of the Gao Family with inexplicable joy.

Even Gao Lingyue, who usually kept his emotions hidden, showed a look of delight.

If they could truly form a marriage alliance with the Prefectural Governor's Mansion, their Gao Family would truly soar to the heavens.

Everyone knew that in the nineteen prefectures of the Great Jin Dynasty, the cultivation of every Governor was at least at the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm Great Grandmaster level, and many powerful prefectures even had Mountain Shaking Realm Supreme Grandmasters presiding over them.

And the Governor of Tongzhou Prefecture was a Supreme Grandmaster.

He was close friends with the Palace Master of the Hidden Sword Palace, Venerable Wen Jian.

If Venerable Wen Jian truly came to propose the marriage, there was an eighty percent chance it would succeed.

The breathing of Gao Lingyue and the other two became heavy.

Zhai Jing's eyes flickered.

Originally, Gao Yang had competitors in the Hidden Sword Palace, but once the news of Venerable Wen Jian proposing a marriage for him spread, he was basically set to be the next Palace Master of the Sword Palace.

The other Disciples of the Hidden Sword Palace no longer had any hope.

Thus, many Elders and Disciples who were originally on the fence had quietly joined Gao Yang's camp during this time.

"Hehe, Patriarch Gao, if Martial Nephew Gao returns to Linshui Prefecture in the future, I'll have to ask you to put in a few good words for me before him!"

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare!"

Gao Lingyue did not let the excitement go to his head.

After all, nothing was settled yet, and the reality was that his son was still only in the Sixth Realm.

The person before him was a Grandmaster.

Gao Lingyue's attitude satisfied Zhai Jing; having been treated coldly by others in the past, he now enjoyed the flattery of others even more.

"By the way, Elder Zhai, you haven't told us who that friend of yours is yet. Perhaps we know him."

"What are his preferences? Once he arrives, our Gao Family can entertain him properly."

The Second Ancestor of the Gao Family, Gao Yujian, asked.

Zhai Jing narrowed his eyes and said:

"That friend of mine is the Sect Master of the Cold Blade Sect, Sect Master of the Cold Blade Sect. His Frost Saber Technique can easily freeze a hundred-zhang wide river."

"To be honest, if I were to fight him, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to take ten of his saber strikes!"

"As for the reception, you don't need to worry."

"Brother Wen loves sabers as much as his own life and is devoted to the blade; he has no interest in other mundane matters."

"Ever since he learned that Yan Chu killed Yue Xingye with a saber, he has wanted to fight Yan Chu. He set out on the very first day he received my invitation."

"I'm telling you, with Yan Chu's strength, he will definitely be cut down by my friend's saber!"

"Is that so?"

"Of course!"

"Hmm?"

Zhai Jing was stunned. He only realized after saying "Of course" that it didn't seem to be any of the three across from him who had asked.

The expressions of Gao Lingyue and the other two also changed, and they looked at each other in surprise.

None of the three had spoken just now; the speaker's voice was deep and completely different from theirs.

"And... it was so quiet outside now."

They were in the Gao Family Main Hall, and there should have been guards on duty outside, but now, not even the sound of the guards' breathing could be heard, and even the chirping of birds seemed to have vanished.

A deathly silence!

They hadn't noticed at all.

"Who's there?!"

Gao Lingyue suddenly stood up and struck a palm toward the entrance of the hall.

Boom!

The hall doors were shattered by the palm strike, splintering into pieces.

Originally, there were six senior guards of the Gao Family outside the hall, all at the Fourth Realm, but now they were lying on the ground, breathless and with peaceful expressions.

They had lost their lives without even sensing their own deaths.

Further away from the hall, more corpses could be seen lying on the ground; the entire Gao Manor was now eerily silent.

The only living being left was a handsome young man in black standing outside the hall doors with his hands behind his back.

"Yan Chu?!!!"

He is Yan Chu?

Zhai Jing looked at Yan Chu's face; he was indeed as young as the rumors said.

"No!"

"Even younger than the rumors!"

Such a young Grandmaster-level expert was an unparalleled, top-tier Prodigy.

Gao Lingyue pointed at him with a trembling hand, "You... what have you done to my Gao Family?"

Yan Chu spread his hands with a faint smile, "Haven't you seen it?"

"Not even a chicken or a dog is left alive!"

"I was also afraid of interrupting your conversation, so I only came over after killing everyone else."

"Well? Are you finished talking?"

"You—"

Gao Lingyue shook with rage, "Yan Chu, you murderous demon, you will die a miserable death!"

"Scoff!"

Yan Chu sneered and said:

"If my strength were insufficient, I would indeed die a miserable death."

"But today, it is you who will die a miserable death!"

"Young man, you have gone too far!"

At this moment, Zhai Jing stood up and faced Yan Chu, his expression gloomy.

They had just been discussing how to deal with Yan Chu here, and the opponent had already come knocking.

And he had killed everyone in the Gao Family.

How was he supposed to explain this to Gao Yang?

"The Gao Family was staying peacefully in Linshui Prefecture. How innocent were those hundreds of people? You killed them all directly; your Heart-Nature is far too cruel and ruthless. You won't get far in the Jianghu this way!"

Yan Chu let out a cold laugh and raised an eyebrow, saying:

"You are the Hidden Sword Palace's Grandmaster, Zhai Jing?"

"Correct! It is I!"

Zhai Jing said with his hands behind his back, "I know you slew a Grandmaster, but the Yue Family is as different from my Hidden Sword Palace as clouds are from mud."

"You killed the relatives and family of Martial Nephew Gao Yang. No matter how vast the world is, you will not escape the pursuit of my Hidden Sword Palace!"

"Oh, is that so?"

"Then I'll kill you all and see how the Hidden Sword Palace intends to hunt me down!"

His voice was calm, but filled with killing intent.

As his voice fell, with a clang, a saber light unsheathed, illuminating the entire dim hall.

"You dare—"

As soon as this saber light appeared, an intensely terrifying Saber Intent instantly manifested, enveloping the entire hall.

Even Zhai Jing, a Grandmaster, had his mind go blank from the impact of this fierce Saber Intent; he only had time to utter two words before the brilliant saber light appeared before his eyes.

Rumble!

Under this single strike, the hall was split in two.

Along with the remaining three members of the Gao Family in the hall, they were all split down the middle by this strike, without even letting out a scream.

Yan Chu struck with his saber and said coldly:

"Dumbass, I've already killed so many people, and you're still asking if I dare?"

"Of course I dare!"

"[Killed a Sixth Realm Old Ancestor of the Gao Family, grudge settled, Experience +5000]"

"[Killed the Fifth Realm Patriarch of the Gao Family, grudge settled, Experience +3000, Three Points Returning to Origin Qi +1]"

"[Killed...]"

What? Three Points Returning to Origin Qi?!

Although the notification sounded in his ear, Yan Chu's attention was entirely drawn to this name.

He didn't even care for a moment that Zhai Jing had rushed out of the ruins, spitting blood as he fled into the distance.

Good! Great!

The Grandmaster Cultivation Technique he had been waiting for so many days has finally arrived?

Damn System!

Do you know how anxious I've been waiting?

He thought that as a transmigrator with a System, he would have to find ordinary Cultivation Techniques of this world to Cultivate.

Wouldn't that be losing face for the entire army of transmigrators?

Three parts Three Points Returning to Origin Qi, seven parts hard work!

This famous Cultivation Technique from the Fengyun world is definitely no ordinary Grandmaster technique.

It fuses the endurance of the Wind God Leg, the ferocity of the Cloud Dispelling Palm, and the coldness of the Heavenly Frost Fist into one, generating Heavenly Frost Energy, Ethereal Cloud Energy, and Divine Wind Energy, then combining the three energies into one to achieve the Three Points Returning to Origin.

Xiongba relied on it to establish the World Society and dominated for a lifetime, but unfortunately, he ran into those two Cheaters, Feng and Yun, and ultimately met a bad end.
