Chapter 271

If I'm not mistaken, three years ago there was once a master who gave a peerless sword technique to the Xuanyuan Sword Sect; could it be the Phantom Sword Meteor you're talking about?

If I remember correctly, three years ago, there was an expert who gave a peerless sword technique to the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect; could it be the Phantom Sword Meteor you mentioned?

We need to keep meaning, not add. Let's produce: "If I remember correctly, three years ago, an expert once gave a peerless sword technique to the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect; could it be the Phantom Sword Meteor you spoke of?" That's fine.

Ling Love Poison nodded heavily, "Exactly, it's the Phantom Sword Meteor!"

Ling Qingwu nodded heavily, "Not bad, it's exactly the Phantom Sword Meteor!"

The Sword Devil revealed a smile full of deep meaning.

The Sword Demon revealed a smile full of deep meaning.

The Xuanyuan Sword Sect is indeed declining generation after generation.

"The Xuan Yuan Sword Sect is indeed declining generation after generation."

The Sword Devil's blunt criticism made the Qingyun Sword Venerable and the Xuanyuan disciples feel very uncomfortable.

The Sword Demon's blunt criticism made the Qingyun Sword Immortal and the Xuan Yuan disciples feel very uncomfortable.

How do you mean that, Uncle-master?

"How do you mean that, Uncle-master?"

The Sword Devil smiled and said nothing.

The Sword Demon smiled and said nothing.

The Qingyun Sword Venerable's face darkened, and a sudden ominous feeling welled up in his heart.

The Qingyun Sword Immortal's face darkened, and a sudden ominous feeling welled up in his heart.

At that moment, the Sword Devil's voice drifted over slowly: "Do you know who gave that peerless sword technique to your Xuanyuan Sword Sect back then?"

At that moment, the Sword Demon's voice drifted over slowly: "Do you know who gave that peerless sword technique to the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect back then?"

As the Sword Devil spoke, he glanced at Ye Qingran; seeing she had no objection, his smile deepened.

This question sparked everyone's curiosity.

This question sparked everyone's curiosity.

Although most people didn't know that three years ago the Xuanyuan Sword Sect had received that sword technique as a gift, some had heard of it.

Although most people didn't know that three years ago the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect had received that sword technique as a gift, some had heard of it.

For example, Prince Dongfang Qingxuan.

For example, the Donglin Crown Prince, Dongfang Qingxuan.

As the Prince of Donglin, he is also an extraordinarily talented young man; three years ago he entered the Xuanyuan Sword Sect to cultivate, and upon joining he heard this news.

As the Donglin Crown Prince and a extraordinarily talented youth, he entered the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect three years ago to cultivate, and upon joining he heard this news.

He too has always been curious: what kind of reclusive master would willingly give away such a powerful sword technique for free, asking nothing in return?

He had always been curious: what kind of reclusive master would willingly give away such a powerful sword technique for free, asking nothing in return?

He thought it must be a stunningly talented and extraordinary expert!

He thought, it must be a supremely talented great expert!

But all of this is merely his speculation.

But, all of this was merely his speculation.

Could it be that the Sword Devil knows something?

Could it be that the Sword Demon knows something?

In his eyes, light flickered, revealing obvious anticipation.

In his eyes, light flickered, revealing clear anticipation.

Fu San blinked, looking at the Sword Devil, and seeing him glance again at Ye Qingran, his heart gave a sudden jolt.

Fu San blinked, looking at the Sword Demon, and seeing him glance again at Ye Qingran, his heart jolted.

Could the person who gave the sword technique be Miss Ye?

Could the person who gave the sword technique be Miss Ye?

This thought popped into his mind, and Fu San couldn't help but look toward his own venerable master, lowering his voice to ask: "Master, could the person who gave the sword technique be Miss Ye?"

This thought arose in his mind, and Fu San couldn't help but look at his own Your Majesty, lowering his voice to ask: "Your Majesty, could the giver of the sword technique be Miss Ye?"

Fu Hanxiu curled the corner of his lip, a faint smile playing on his peerlessly handsome face.

Fu Hanxiu's lips curled, his peerlessly handsome face bearing a faint smile.

Besides her, who else could it be?

Besides her, who else could it be?

This woman really keeps giving him surprises.

This woman really keeps giving him surprises.

Although the venerable master ignored him, Fu San already knew the answer.

Although Your Majesty ignored him, Fu San already knew the answer.

He silently gave a thumbs-up to the future sect leader's wife.

He silently gave a thumbs-up to the future Supreme Lord's wife.

Ling Love Poison stared with his mouth open at the Sword Devil, thinking, "Could that person be Ye Qingran?"

Ling Qingwu stared with her mouth open at the Sword Demon, thinking, could that person be Ye Qingran?

Startled by her own thought, she sarcastically mused, "How could such a powerful technique as Phantom Sword Meteor possibly come from the hands of that idiot Ye Qingran? She's really overthinking things!"

Startled by her own thought, she sneered, "How could such a powerful technique as Phantom Sword Meteor possibly come from the hands of that idiot Ye Qingran? She's really overthinking it!"

The Qingyun Sword Venerable furrowed his brows, the same thought rising in his heart, making his face turn as dark as water.

The Qingyun Sword Immortal furrowed his brows, the same thought rising in his heart, making his face darken like water.

He clasped his fists and said loudly, "Please, Uncle-master, tell us."

He clasped his fists and called out, "Please, Uncle-master, tell us."

The Sword Devil snorted coldly, "The person who gave that sword technique to your Xuanyuan sect leader back then was my master, Ye Qingran."

The Sword Demon snorted coldly, "The one who gave that sword technique to your Xuan Yuan Sect leader back then was my master, Ye Qingran."

As soon as those words were spoken, the whole area fell silent.

Upon those words, the whole world fell silent at once.

The Sword Devil said, "The one who gave the Phantom Sword Meteor technique back then was Ye Qingran?!"

The Sword Demon said, the person who gave the Phantom Sword Meteor back then was Ye Qingran?!

After a moment of silence, someone objected: "How could that be possible? Such a powerful technique couldn't possibly come from Ye Qingran's hands—she's just a worthless waste with no spiritual roots! I don't believe it!"

After a moment of silence, someone retorted, "How could that be? How could such a powerful technique come from Ye Qingran's hands? She's just a waste with no Spiritual Root! I don't believe it!"

That voice was both anxious and sharp.

That voice was both anxious and sharp.

Everyone turned toward the sound, and it was Ye Huanhuan.

Everyone turned toward the sound, and it was Ye Huanhuan.

Ye Huanhuan's eyes were now filled with red bloodshot veins.

Ye Huanhuan's eyes were now filled with red bloodshot lines.

At the moment the Sword Devil called her his master, her heart filled with jealousy.

At the moment the Sword Demon called her his master, her heart filled with jealousy.

She had thought that by joining the Xuanyuan Sword Sect and becoming a disciple of the Qingyun Sword Venerable, she could surpass Ye Qingran, but she never expected that the Qingyun Sword Venerable's uncle, the world-renowned Sword Devil, would actually be Ye Qingran's disciple?

Originally she thought that by joining the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect and becoming a disciple of the Qingyun Sword Immortal, she could suppress Ye Qingran, but she never expected that the Qingyun Sword Immortal's uncle, the world-renowned Sword Demon, would actually be Ye Qingran's disciple?

And she, Ye Huanhuan, suddenly became Ye Qingran's grand-disciple!

And she, Ye Huanhuan, suddenly became Ye Qingran's grand-disciple!

She could not accept this fact!

She could not accept this fact!

Now hearing that the Xuanyuan Sword Sect's newly recorded peerless sword technique in their sword manual was actually given by Ye Qingran, she found it even harder to accept!

Moreover, she just heard that the new peerless sword technique recently entered into the Xuan Yuan Sword Canon of the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect was actually given by Ye Qingran, making her even less able to accept it!

Why should it be Ye Qingran?

Why should it be Ye Qingran?

Why again Ye Qingran?

Why again Ye Qingran?

How is Ye Qingran everywhere?

How is Ye Qingran everywhere?

That damned Ye Qingran—why won't she just die!

That damned Ye Qingran, why won't she just die!

The Sword Devil's gaze fell upon Ye Huanhuan; his expression was calm, but his eyes brimmed with cold intent.

The Sword Demon's gaze fell on Ye Huanhuan; his expression was light, but his eyes were full of coldness.

"How could it be impossible? You can't think others are just as incapable as you simply because you yourself are useless."

"How could it be impossible? You can't think others are just as incapable as you because you yourself are incapable."

With that light remark, the Sword Devil left Ye Huanhuan feeling utterly ashamed.

The Sword Demon's light words left Ye Huanhuan feeling utterly embarrassed.

The Sword Devil said she was incapable?

Did the Sword Demon say she was incapable?

Ye Huanhuan gritted her teeth, the hand at her side clenching into a fist.

Ye Huanhuan gritted her teeth, the hand at her side clenching into a fist.

At that moment, the Sword Devil glanced at her, his eyes flickering, the coldness in his gaze almost becoming tangible.

At that moment, the Sword Demon glanced at her, his pupils flickering, the coldness in his eyes almost solidifying.

"Are you Ye Huanhuan?"

"Are you Ye Huanhuan?"

The Sword Devil's sudden question made Ye Huanhuan startle, a flicker of delight rising in her heart. Could it be that her reputation is so great that even someone as famous as the Sword Devil has heard of her?

The Sword Demon's sudden question made Ye Huanhuan start, a gradual surge of delight rising in her heart. Could it be that her fame was so great that even a celebrity like the Sword Demon had heard of her?

Thinking that, Ye Huanhuan felt much more at ease.

Thinking that, Ye Huanhuan felt much more at ease.

Lifting her head and puffing her chest, Ye Huanhuan's face took on a hint of arrogance: "Not bad, I am Ye Huanhuan."

Lifting her head and puffing her chest, Ye Huanhuan's face gained a touch of arrogance: "Not bad, I am Ye Huanhuan."

Having received a confirming answer, the Sword Devil narrowed his eyes.

Having received an affirmative answer, the Sword Demon narrowed his eyes.

So this woman is the one who, back then, dug up her master's spiritual roots and then claimed them for herself—the very culprit?

So this woman was the one who back then dug up her master's Spiritual Root and then took it for herself, the chief culprit?

Good!

Very good!

"Ye Huanhuan, I heard your Spiritual Root is a Holy Spiritual Root?"

The Sword Demon asked indifferently.

Ye Huanhuan's expression, however, was tense.

Why did the Sword Demon suddenly ask this question?

She stared at the Sword Demon, trying to see something from his face, but she failed.

Yes, yes.

The Sword Demon nodded and then said, 'I heard you were not born with a Holy Spiritual Root, but merely an ordinary medium-grade Spiritual Root. So how did your Holy Spiritual Root come about? Could it be… that you dug up someone else's Spiritual Root and planted it into your own dantian?'

The Sword Demon's words were utterly blunt.

Upon hearing this, Ye Huanhuan's face turned pale.

How could the Sword Demon know about this?

It must be because of Ye Qingran!

She panted heavily, and a sinister look appeared on her face.

Ye Qingran, how dare she tell the Sword Demon about this? And how dare the Sword Demon bring this up in front of so many people?!

Upon hearing the Sword Demon say that, everyone's faces changed instantly.

"What? Ye Huanhuan's Holy Spiritual Root isn't innate?"

"Ye Huanhuan's Holy Spiritual Root isn't her own, but dug up from someone else?"

"Good heavens, so she wasn't born with a Holy Spiritual Root?! The Spiritual Root she carries is merely a medium-grade one?"

……

This news came as a sudden shock.
