Chapter 268: Phantom Sword Meteor

Soon, a figure arrived on a sword.

It seemed intentional to intimidate everyone; his aura was ample, powerful Sword Qi enveloped the skies over Xiliang, reminding each person in every breath of the Sword Zun's strength!

"This is... the aura of a Sword Zun!"

An ordinary person's aura could never cause such a commotion; even the acclaimed number one swordsman of the younger generation, Jianchi Fengyi, could not match it!

Upon seeing that figure for the first time, Ling Qingwu showed ecstasy.

That's her father!

Qingyun Sword Immortal!

She is saved!

Ling Qingwu shouted excitedly, "Father, I'm here, hurry and save me!"

As Ling Qingwu shouted, everyone showed shock.

They had just been guessing who the newcomer was; hearing Ling Qingwu's shout, how could they not know the person was none other than Qingyun Sword Immortal, one of the Four Great Sword Immortals of the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect!

Ling Qingwu's biological father has arrived!

Then Ye Qingran would have no chance to kill Ling Qingwu; even if she forcibly took Ling Qingwu's life, Qingyun Sword Immortal would surely execute her in his wrath, and even her own child and the Ye Family would be implicated.

"Great! The Master has arrived!"

Ye Huanhuan stepped forward a few steps, her face filled with excitement, her eyes shining; when she withdrew her gaze to look at the vast crowd, her eyes revealed arrogance, as if saying, "Do you see? This is Ye Huanhuan's master, the renowned Qingyun Sword Immortal!"

"Master, we are here!"

"Master, please come save our senior sister!"

Upon learning that Qingyun Sword Immortal had personally arrived, the disciples of the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect all showed excitement visible on their faces; looking at Ye Qingran, a dark glint appeared in their eyes.

Master has arrived; will Ye Qingran's death still be far off?

Qingyun Sword Immortal, as one of the Four Great Sword Immortals of the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect, his strength is unquestionable; throughout the Central Region he is renowned.

He arrived on his sword, his posture straight as a sword, his whole body exuding a sharp, sword-like aura.

A gust of wind blew, and Qingyun Sword Immortal's figure instantly appeared before everyone's eyes. He stood on his long sword, hovering in the void, solemn and dignified without anger, like a deity descending to the mortal realm.

The ordinary folk of Xiliang City had at most heard rumors about this Qingyun Sword Immortal, never having the chance to witness this legendary Sword Zun in person.

Upon seeing him today, they could not help but sigh at the Sword Zun's aura, which is indeed beyond what these mortals can attain!

"Father!"

Ling Qingwu waved her hands, fearing Qingyun Sword Immortal would not see her.

She was so excited she almost cried. She knew her father would come to save her!

Qingyun Sword Immortal turned toward the sound; upon seeing Ling Qingwu's blood-soaked, disheveled state, his normally calm eyes flashed with a dark hue, and amid his sharp sword intent, anger suddenly sparked.

"I do not know what wrong this young lady has done to suffer such abuse here!"

Unexpectedly, Qingyun Sword Immortal did not erupt on the spot but instead questioned in a low voice. His voice, calm yet imposing, contained endless sword intent, making people feel immense pressure.

Ling Qingwu immediately pointed at Ye Qingran and snarled, "Father, it's her—she is Ye Qingran, she wants to kill me! Quickly kill her to avenge your daughter!"

Ling Qingwu trembled with excitement.

She intended to repay a thousandfold all the humiliation she had just suffered!

Qingyun Sword Immortal's stern gaze fell upon Ye Qingran.

He was slightly taken aback.

It seemed he had not expected such a stunning beauty to exist in this remote place.

"Miss, how did my daughter offend you to make you strike so viciously?" Ling Qingwu is his most beloved child; especially gifted, she holds a high status in the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect. Had he not considered his image, he would have already exterminated her!

Thinking this, a hint of cold ruthlessness swiftly crossed Qingyun Sword Immortal's eyes.

Qingyun Sword Immortal's tone carried an implicit oppression; hearing it, one's mind would be thrown into disarray. If it were anyone else, they would likely have gone weak in the knees and could not help but kneel.

But Ye Qingran is ultimately no ordinary person!

She is the renowned Medicine King Gu Gu Master of the Central Region! What scene has she not seen? It's merely a Sword Zun!

Ye Qingran remained composed, a faint arc at the corner of her lips, she slightly raised her head and met Qingyun Sword Immortal's gaze: "Qingyun Sword Immortal, I have long admired your name. Please come and judge: someone has framed me for stealing the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect's sword manuals and subjected me to unlawful punishment. That would be bad enough, but she also does not know good from ill—she kidnapped my son and tried to kill him. Tell me, should such a person be killed?"

The crowd held their breath.

They felt Ye Qingran was challenging Qingyun Sword Immortal's dignity!

Qingyun Sword Immortal's gaze sank deeply, his aura growing ever colder.

Ling Qingwu gritted her teeth and shouted, "It's just a wild offspring—kill it, then kill it!" Because someone backed her, her attitude became especially arrogant, no longer the fear she had before.

Qingyun Sword Immortal ignored Ling Qingwu's words, narrowed his eyes, and said lightly, "It depends on the situation. I also think that if it is a wild offspring, killing it might not be a bad thing!"

A cold glint flashed in Ye Qingran's eyes.

Ling Qingwu gave a cold smile, "Did you hear that, Ye Qingran? My father said it—wild offspring, kill it, then kill it!"

"As the saying goes, an uneducated child reflects the father's fault. I finally understand how a good person could become a scoundrel—it turns out Qingyun Sword Immortal taught him well, truly admirable!"

Ye Qingran clasped her fists.

Hiss~

The onlookers sucked in a breath of cold air!

Their gazes at Ye Qingran were filled with terror.

This Ye Qingran really dares to say anything!

Does she not realize this person is no ordinary individual, but the famed Qingyun Sword Immortal!

If one provokes him, a single sword could slaughter a city!

She actually dared to scold him to his face for his poor parenting, in front of so many people!

Qingyun Sword Immortal is one of the Four Great Sword Immortals of the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect; his status is illustrious, and even in the Central Region he is a top-tier expert, wherever he goes he is respected—when has he ever suffered such provocation?

Besides, the other party is still quite a young woman!

Qingyun Sword Immortal furrowed his brows, his entire body radiating an exceptionally icy aura.

However, even if he now felt murderous intent, he had no cause to kill. With so many onlookers, if he struck down merely because the other party provoked him, he would be denounced.

Ling Qingwu grasped her father's worry, her eyes flashing, and she suddenly cried out, "Father, this Ye Qingran has secretly learned the Profound Origin Sword Canon!"

Qingyun Sword Immortal's eyes suddenly brightened.

Is that true?

Ling Qingwu nodded vigorously, "Father, the move she just performed is the Phantom Sword Meteor newly added to the Profound Origin Sword Canon!"
