Chapter 78: Sword Demon

For a long time, people only recovered from the shock.

"'Dream-Eating Sword Demon' Jiang Ding, which senior is this? Hei Jin brought so many people to besiege this person, could it be there was some deep hatred?"

This was the first reaction of many people.

"Hahaha, died well, my family's revenge is finally avenged."

"In my opinion, this is an internal strife of the Demon Sect; they often kill each other even more ruthlessly than they kill the righteous path."

Suddenly, someone screamed.

"Look! It's not a senior!"

"Below, the very bottom one!"

Yuejing gathers the essence of the entire Yue Kingdom, with major sects standing tall and many strong experts. Innate martial artists also appear, and the danger far exceeds other places.

Gong Caiyu held her breath, staring at this short sword. This was the object that countless generations of Sect Masters had tirelessly sought for a thousand years since the founder of the Seven Profound Sect.

He planned to cultivate in seclusion in Chizhong Prefecture for a period of time, taking and digesting the remaining Ginseng Essence Qi-Refining Elixirs, striving to complete the tempering of the Twelve Main Meridians of the Great Heavenly Cycle.

"No."

In contrast, the hostility faintly carried by another man with an unparalleled handsome appearance, even more beautiful than Princess Clear River, didn't count for much.

Many people lamented, and no one doubted the accuracy of the title 'Sword Demon' anymore.

For a long time, she reluctantly returned the short sword, and the moment it touched Jiang Ding's palm, it disappeared.

"Keep it for me."

It is rumored that his cultivation technique requires devouring the spirits of ten thousand butterflies, and then using that to devour human souls."

In the outer area, the two people in bamboo hats quietly left, without attracting any attention.

This is a dangerous figure who can threaten Qi-Refining mid-stage cultivators in close combat.

Accompanied by a fragrant breeze, a purple shadow flashed, and a beautiful woman wearing a purple palace dress, a phoenix hairpin, and an elegant and noble demeanor appeared before them.

"Stop!"

The handsome man's face flushed slightly, and he thrust his sword out. The speed was not slow, and phantom images of various flower petals appeared between the blade and his footsteps, beautiful and breathtaking.

Everyone turned their eyes as told, and was immediately shocked.

Glancing at the noble imperial gate, she took a deep breath, wiped away her tears, and submitted a visiting card prepared by the two of them to the gatekeeper in the name of the 98th on the Dragon-Phoenix Ranking, 'Flying Snow Fairy'.

"Young Master, can you..."

However, she knew she had to go; her mother was still waiting for her.

"Good, good!"

Before them, the vermilion gate, nine horizontal and nine vertical copper nails intertwined, with dragon patterns engraved, guarded by dozens of golden-armored guards—the wealth of the royal family was overwhelming, making one dare not look up.

Alone, cultivating silently—whether it was goodwill or malice, it couldn't affect him.

'Clear River Fairy' Chen Xi! The current Emperor's eldest princess, whose fiefdom resided in Clear River Prefecture, titled Princess Clear River.

This woman said softly: "Young Master Jiang, since you are passing by my palace, why not come in for a chat? I am also very curious about the scenery of East Spirit."

Hum~ With a slight sword hum, a crimson talisman sword appeared out of nowhere in Gong Caiyu's small hand, feeling as warm and moist as jade.

"Such keen perception."

"This is the Hundred-Pace Flying Sword!"

Regarding hiding and safety, he had his own set of views.

Gong Caiyu woke up, a thick sense of reluctance growing in her heart.

Jiang Ding pointed his finger.

Innate martial artist! It was absolutely the aura of an Innate martial artist. Although it was hidden, he could feel it.

The old woman was surprised, but she didn't say much, just stood behind Princess Clear River.

"Battle Record: Destroyed Fierce Tiger Stronghold, killed 'East Mountain Flying Tiger' Lu Jingtian and his six tigers, killed hundreds of stronghold soldiers; Battle at East Spirit Mountain, killed 12th on the Dragon-Phoenix Ranking 'Black Flame Blade' Hei Jin, and 'Mixed Gold Blade' Zheng Ye, East Town Guard Chen Chen and his dozens of Internal Qi realm officers, and over a hundred Body Forging Great Accomplishment soldiers."

At the same time, the news of a new person in the top ten of the Dragon-Phoenix Ranking spread rapidly in all directions, falling onto the desks of many big figures.

No wonder the jianghu people of East Spirit Prefecture who were hunting her down scattered in fear the moment he appeared, not even tempted by the massive bounty from the Marquis's estate.

"Young Master Jiang, this is 'Heavenly Poison Divine Physician' Granny Liu, one of the Eight Heroes." Princess Clear River Chen Xi showed no annoyance at being ignored, explaining softly: "If Young Master Jiang can come to Clear River Tower often to sit, let the sisters get to know you, it's not impossible to ask Granny to give some pointers on martial arts."

As a martial arts legend, the Hundred-Pace Flying Sword had been endowed with too many legends, with a rich legendary color, and was one of the highest realms in the hearts of many martial artists.

Jiang Ding finally placed his gaze on her, raising an eyebrow: "Doesn't Clear River Tower only accept women?"

"I have other important matters, I can only fail the Princess's kindness."

Legend has it that Wan Qianyu had a son in middle age and was extremely protective. The 11th on the Dragon-Phoenix Ranking, 'Sea-Splitting Blade' Wei Xian of the Golden Blade Gate, once defeated Wan You and humiliated him, and was immediately attacked at his gate. It is said that even the Innate expert Golden Blade Ancestor was injured because of this.

Jiang Ding shook his head and turned to leave.

Jiang Ding said suddenly, waking Gong Caiyu, who was still in a daze. "Young Master Jiang, please stay for a moment!"

Jiang Ding pretended not to hear and quickened his pace.

Jiang Ding glanced at her.

In the distance, a soft, charming woman's voice could be faintly heard.

"Young Master, did you really obtain the inheritance of the Seven Profound Founder?"

Although she was only 19th on the Dragon-Phoenix Ranking, in terms of nobility, there were probably few women in the world who could compare to her. Such courtesy to a talented person was enough to move the heart of a prodigy.

Jiang Ding walked slowly on the streets of Chizhong Prefecture. His Minor Breath-Holding Technique was fully activated, and people on the street unconsciously ignored his existence.

Many martial artists felt their bodies tremble after seeing a few words.

His words received no response; the other party's figure flashed lightly, and the speed was even faster.

Gong Caiyu's heart was buzzing, her little head blocked by the information just now, not even knowing what to think.

Gong Caiyu said coyly, not finishing her words.

As for the Taiqing Divine Iron,

After a while,

"4th, 'Dream-Eating Sword Demon' Jiang Ding, Internal Qi Perfection, inheritance unknown, background unknown, suspected to have obtained the inheritance of the Seven Profound Founder from a thousand years ago, refined a Hundred-Pace Flying Sword."

"Okay."

!.

Walking one after another on the street.

Her posture was graceful, her eyes flowing, and she seemed to have subtle hints, making people think in a certain direction.

"The Demon Sect has produced another evil star, and the righteous path is weaker by one point!"

Gong Caiyu couldn't help but ask.

"Young Master Jiang!"

"We're here."

"Ah?"

For many forces without Innate martial artists, such figures must be treated seriously; a little carelessness could lead to disaster. Sects with Innate experts couldn't ignore them either, as the top ten of the Dragon-Phoenix Ranking were all existences with hopes of becoming Innate.

"Young Master, I didn't mean that, please don't be angry..."

Jiang Ding didn't feel anything, just glanced at her, then placed his gaze on the old woman with a face full of gullies behind her, full of solemnity, instinctively gripping his sword sheath.

Without the restraint of the cloak, the field of vision was much wider.

That is, never see anyone again!

Jiang Ding answered, the cloak on his head spinning and falling into Gong Caiyu's hands, and he turned to leave.

"Naturally, that is so."

"The Hundred-Pace Flying Sword has appeared!"

Gong Caiyu panicked, wanting to explain something, but the figure had already merged into the crowd and completely disappeared. Her eye sockets turned red, and tears dripped down after filling up.

11th on the Dragon-Phoenix Ranking, 'Hundred Flower Young Master' Wan You! His mother is the leader of the Purple Wei Sword Sect among the six major sects, 'Ten Flower Sword Immortal' Wan Qianyu.

At this moment, the handsome young man who felt his beloved was humiliated could no longer hold back, coldly shouting: "'Dream-Eating Sword Demon' Jiang Ding, you are too arrogant. East Spirit Prefecture is a backwater, Hei Jin was just a bully who feared the strong, do you really think you are something?"

One of her embroidered shoes had fallen off at some point while running, revealing a jade foot with beautiful curves. She was panting, her small face slightly red, as if she had erupted all her Internal Qi to catch up.

A light voice entered her ears, and Gong Caiyu broke into a smile through her tears.

Except when her parents were alive, this was the first time she had felt such a sense of security as she had in these three days, as if she didn't need to worry about anything, and even if the sky fell, someone would block it, and she only needed to practice martial arts happily.

Not neglected, after just a moment, she was warmly welcomed into the palace by Princess Clear River's personal lady-in-waiting....

After actual testing, this thing was useless, purely decorative. If one wanted to change appearance, one had to rely on professional things and martial arts.

If it really was, this was absolutely not something a cultivator below Nascent Soul could handle; destruction was impossible, let alone a mere Innate martial artist.

"Isn't that intentionally provoking the family affairs of sisters?"

Uncle Ziteng didn't give her this feeling; the heavy responsibility of reviving the Seven Profound Sect pressed on him, and every time she saw him, he was very haggard and worried, eventually leading to the worst ending.

Chen Xi covered her mouth and chuckled: "But we sisters don't live in a nunnery. If any sister has a like-minded, decent, and well-matched admirer, could we drive them out?"

Therefore, 'Hundred Flower Young Master' Wan You was even more feared in the jianghu than those in the top ten of the Dragon-Phoenix Ranking.

Whoosh! The sword tip surrounded by flower phantoms missed, but Jiang Ding's speed soared again, his figure hiding in the crowd, and he soon disappeared without a trace.

"Young Master Wan, how can you attack Clear River's guests? Others will think Clear River..."

Chen Xi's chiding, angry voice arrived belatedly.
