Chapter 155 - The So

Chapter 155: The So-Called Snatching of a Man

The situation on the whistling sword platform was extremely chaotic.

there was an uproar below.

When the Tideviewing and Sword-listening contest was over, another great show began.

Not long ago, the current Green Lotus Swordsman had come out of seclusion ahead of time and entered everyone’s vision. For some mysterious reason, she had traveled thousands of miles, defeated all the challengers on the way, and even defeated the Heart Sword Sect’s lead disciple, showing her edge.

As the judge of this Tideviewing and Sword-listening event, her performance was quite normal. In the eyes of the crowd, she did not have much sense of existence. They thought that she would continue to be calm like this and then return to the Taiqing Pavilion.

However, they did not expect that the Green Lotus Swordsman would suddenly point his sword at the biggest dark horse of the Singing Sword contest and say something so ambiguous like ‘come home with me’. This instantly caused an uproar, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

Before this, the two of them should not have had any contact with each other.

There was no sign of it at all.

Then, without any warning, before Jiang Feng could even say a few words, the City Lord of the City of Ten Thousand Swords at the side spoke up first to defend him. Furthermore, the Green Lotus Swordsman did not hesitate at all and immediately opposed the City Lord with great hostility.

Although the majority of the people still did not understand why the City Lord of Ten Thousand Swords was protecting him, the scene was already somewhat close to the feeling of ‘snatching a man’.

Some people began to recall Jiang Feng’s frequent visits to the City Lord’s Mansion a few days ago.

Soon after, when the Xuanyin family’s Young Mistress wearing a white curtained hat also jumped onto the stage, the situation went out of control.

The Young Mistress of the Xuanyin family grabbed Jiang Feng and looked at the Green Lotus Swordsman. She snorted coldly and said, “You have the nerve to snatch him away! He even tried to frame me a few days ago. He almost hated me because of that despicable woman! The so-called Green Lotus Swordsman’s upright nature is all a lie!”

“When did I frame you?” Shen Sifan said lightly. “Did I lie to you?”

“…”

Ye Cike was at a loss for words. She could not find any words to refute.

Shen Sifan had never lied. She had only used words to guide her… She was extremely cunning. Whoever said that the Green Lotus Swordsman was a straightforward person?!

However, although she was angry, she had already calmed down a lot. She took a deep breath and thought about the current situation. In fact, any kind of argument was useless.

Since the other party had already decided to snatch him away in public, nothing could change her mind.

“Since you want to fight,” the Young Mistress of the Xuanyin family said with a cold smile, “I’ll fight you to the end… Uncle Jiu.”

“Yes.” An old servant holding a sword suddenly appeared in the field.

“Isn’t that… the ‘Sword Maniac’, Li Jiutong?!” There was another clamor below. The appearance of this former sword expert who had been in seclusion for many years was also very shocking.

The Green Lotus Swordsman was a little surprised.

He was a famous swordsman of the older generation, and he was also famous in the ‘Divine Heroes List’ that was updated by the Green Centipede every 100 years. At that time, he had first taken first place on the Singing Sword Ranking, and then he had shot up to the top 50 of the Divine Heroes List. After that, he disappeared.

Now, he had appeared in front of everyone again, but it seemed to be because… He was helping the Young Mistress of the Xuanyin family steal a man?

His strength was undoubtedly strong. A powerhouse at the Form Synthesis stage was already a high-level NPC at level 60 or 70 in the game. In comparison, he was like a high-level dungeon boss. Generally, only a team of five or six players could kill him.

If it was not for the fact that he had a heart full of killing intent and had a bad temper, his original strength would have been more than enough to defeat Duan Lanruo and Liu Yuan.

Although he had been imprisoned in the dungeon of the City Lord’s Mansion a few days ago, which had affected his strength a little, he had been mostly treated.

And this time, the murderous heart was his support.

Liu Yuan put away his newly obtained Indulgence Sword and flipped his palm to hold the pitch-black long sword.

A flame suddenly appeared, and the cracks were like a web.

This evil sword that had been sealed for many years finally saw the light of day again. In front of everyone, the Sword in the Box let out a sharp buzzing sound, causing everyone’s hearts to tremble and subconsciously feel fear.

“What the hell is that sword of his?” Yan Guanlin’s pupils shrank, and he said in disbelief, “Isn’t he an itinerant cultivator??”

Mu Ronglian shook his head. His expression was as calm as expected. He raised her head and looked at the stage. “How could he be an itinerant cultivator? To be friends with the lady boss, a great demon in the Nascent Soul stage, to Ascend the Shu Road in half a cup of tea’s time, to easily obtain the City Lord’s Token, to enter and exit the Inkstone Tower at will, to gain the favor of the Young Mistress of the Xuanyin family, to cross three minor cultivation realms in a few days, to have the courage to break through to the Core Formation stage on the spot… Don’t you all feel that something is wrong?”

This person from the Wugou family, who had always been unknown, was actually the one who had seen everything clearly. He remembered all of Liu Yuan’s deeds clearly.

When everything was connected, it seemed that this was not something that a simple wandering itinerant cultivator could do.

Yan Guanlin was stunned. He thought about it carefully and realized that it was true.

Although the others also felt that this was inconceivable, even the City of Ten Thousand Swords and the Sword Pavilion had acknowledged his identity, so naturally, they subconsciously chose to believe him.

Who was he?

That Green Lotus Swordsman seemed to call him… Junxuan?

“Isn’t it that Mister Junxuan who found the spy from the demonic sect in the Jiang Kingdom’s Water Moon Dock?! Wasn’t he going to marry the eldest miss of Water Moon Dock? Why did you come here?” Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.

“Where?” Clearly, Water Moon dock was not a famous sect.

Then, someone began to explain the situation.

There was a lot of discussion below, but soon, the disciples of the Sword Pavilion began to organize everyone to evacuate. They claimed that the demonic sect had suddenly attacked the Sword Pavilion and the situation was not good.

The current situation had reversed one after another, and everyone was at a loss.

However, regarding the matter of the demonic sect, the reason given by the Green Lotus Swordsman a few days ago was that she had found traces of people from the demonic sect, and it was not particularly abrupt.

The crowd gradually dispersed.

Duan Lanruo’s pupils constricted as she looked at the Sword Lights flying toward her from all directions. She suddenly realized something. “The power of the Ten Thousand Sword Array has been weakened… I’m afraid that not all of the people from the demonic sect have been killed. I’ll have to search for them manually. Fortunately, there aren’t many people left.”

Ye Cike finally reacted and said in a low voice, “The tracking spell in the Ten Thousand Sword Array should still be in effect. Mark those people and ask the disciples of the Sword Pavilion to cooperate with us. We’ll be able to clean them up soon.”

Liu Yuan said, “But those people in the Jade Snow Mountain range didn’t die either.”

Zhiying’s voice suddenly rang in his ears, “It’s the Reflection Bug. A centipede dies but doesn’t fall down. The person controlling the Mother Bug can continue to control the corpse for a period of time. However, no matter if it’s the user or the victim, it’s extremely harmful. At the very least, their meridians will be destroyed. At the very worst, they’ll die.”

“Looks like it’s really a gamble,” Liu Yuan said quietly. He raised his head and looked at Shen Sifan, whose expression did not change.”Sifan! The demon sect is currently trying to create a huge flood, so let’s put aside our grudges for now…”

“I know,” Shen Sifan replied.

Liu Yuan was stunned.

The Green Lotus Swordsman’s face was calm, “But it doesn’t matter. I only want you to come with me. I won’t kill you. If you’re with me, I won’t kill them. I know you can’t let go of… I just want a result.”

She stood with her sword in her hand and suddenly smiled. The Sword Lights behind her formed a semi-circle, as if she did not care about the lives of those people.

F*ck! Something was wrong!

Liu Yuan’s face was covered in cold sweat. His answer that day seemed to have put him on the edge of life and death. If it was a dating sim option at that time, any other answer might have led him to ‘Bad Ending’.

But now, no matter how he looked at it, it did not seem like ‘Happy Ending’!

Shen Lin, who had been watching from below, suddenly narrowed his eyes when he heard that. He slapped away the sword servant who was still fighting with him and rushed up to the platform. “Be careful! She had not gotten over it at all! She’s completely obsessed!”

Trying her sword…

The sword she wanted to try was a selfish sword, not for the common people, but for herself.

Damn it! A Mental Demon of the seventh level was indeed not that easy to overcome!

The voice of the Pavilion Master of the Taiqing Pavilion rang out in the crowd, but it was quickly drowned out by a thunderous voice.

Boom! Boom!

The rumbling sound in the Jade Snow Mountain range became louder and louder. Huge rocks rolled down and smashed into the rolling river water, causing huge waves.

To everyone’s surprise, a massive crack suddenly appeared on the ground beneath the first peak of the Sword Pavilion, where countless sword forging furnaces and caves had been built. The rock had been exposed to the elements for thousands of years, constantly being washed away by flames and waves, and had become fragile.

With a boom, the entire mountain peak slid down.
