Chapter 193: Cursing the Shangyu Dynasty in Public

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xun tossed a sword to Jiang Yan, then drew the Liu Hong Sword himself and attacked Jiang Yan directly using Moon Gazing.

At this moment, Jiang Xun had fully mastered the first stage of the sword techniques; besides the charged sword Qi, Jiang Xun could also imbue the Moon Gazing lunge with Ice Flame.

Jiang Yan instinctively felt that this Ice Flame was trouble, so she retreated, dodging Jiang Xun's attack.

Afterward, Jiang Yan took the initiative to attack, using Moon Gazing to strike at Jiang Xun, while also suppressing her own strength to avoid killing him.

The method to counter Moon Gazing was simple: it was the rotating sword technique of the first stage of Heavenly Light Freedom.

Jiang Xun immediately raised his sword, performed a backflip, and with his body wreathed in Ice Flame, parried her sword while landing on the ground; he then immediately charged his sword Qi and slashed out a wave of Ice Flame.

Jiang Yan also unleashed a charged sword Qi; the two blasts of sword Qi collided in mid-air and dissipated each other.

"You're learning quite fast." Jiang Yan sheathed her sword, a hint of praise appearing on her face.

"Better than all your disciples, right?" Jiang Xun said smugly.

"Don't get cocky. The time it took to teach you is enough for me to have taught a hundred disciples." Jiang Yan rolled her eyes at Jiang Xun and said, "Let's practice the second stage."

"The difference between the second stage and the first isn't very big; I think you'll be able to learn it quickly."

————

"I should just die; it was only two extra sentences, why can't you learn it?"

Two hours later, Jiang Yan held her sword to her own neck and said.

"Isn't this just because I want to spend a little more time with you?" Jiang Xun scratched his head and laughed.

"You're full of... cough." Jiang Yan gave a dry cough, nearly cursing out loud, but held it back: "Have you actually learned it or not?"

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. I had already learned it the first time you said it," Jiang Xun laughed.

It was indeed very simple; it was nothing more than a few extra movements and a slight change in the way Spirit Power circulated, so it was still easy to understand.

"Then you were just purely torturing me? Is that fun?" Jiang Yan was stunned upon hearing this, then shouted.

"I was afraid you'd be bored after being dead for so long, so I was just keeping you company with some conversation, wasn't I?" Jiang Xun laughed.

"Do you know what a dead person is?" Jiang Yan looked at Jiang Xun with an expression of looking at a fool: "A dead person is someone who has absolutely no consciousness and knows nothing. I won't feel bored; from the time I died last time until now, for me, it was just a matter of closing my eyes and opening them."

"It was just an instant, understand?"

Jiang Yan looked at Jiang Xun with a serious expression.

"Okay, okay, I understand." Jiang Xun nodded solemnly as well.

Jiang Yan stared at Jiang Xun for a long while, then burst into laughter: "What is this? Why are you being so serious?"

"Playing along with you," Jiang Xun laughed.

"Playing along with a ghost. Alright, if you have nothing else, send me to my death." Jiang Yan placed the sword in front of Jiang Xun, then sat cross-legged and closed her eyes.

"Aren't you afraid I'll do something to you after you die?" Jiang Xun asked, looking at Jiang Yan with a grin.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan opened her eyes and glanced at Jiang Xun: "You had better not let me find out, otherwise, you know the consequences."

"Miaoyin contacted me recently and said she's doing quite well in the Lingerie-Sect; she asked me to tell you to stop worrying," Jiang Xun said, changing the subject.

"Mm." Jiang Yan nodded: "It's hard to find a suitable place to stay; you must work hard to protect your Lingerie-Sect."

"You don't need to tell me that; I naturally will," Jiang Xun nodded and laughed: "Then do it yourself; I can't bring myself to kill a beauty like you."

"As if you know how to cherish the fair and pity the frail." Jiang Yan glanced at Jiang Xun, then directly severed her own meridians, closed her eyes, and died.

Very decisive.

Seeing this, Jiang Xun felt ashamed; he took back Jiang Yan's corpse and then left the cave.

It was already dusk when he came out.

With nothing to do, Jiang Xun decided to go check on Gufang Ninglin.

Arriving at Xuan-Rank Room 10 of Tian Wai Lou, Jiang Xun frowned deeply.

Previously, rooms 9 and 11 on either side were occupied, but today they were empty.

Moreover, Gufang Ninglin's room was locked from the outside; although it was just a very common lock that Gufang Ninglin could break at any time if she wanted to, this was clearly an insult.

"What's going on? It was fine when we checked the day before yesterday?" Si Yuyan said upon seeing this, her tone filled with anger.

During these past few days of cultivation, Jiang Xun would occasionally take time to check on Gufang Ninglin, and this hadn't happened before.

Jiang Xun snapped the cheap lock on the door and entered the room; Gufang Ninglin was sitting cross-legged on the bed cultivating. Sensing someone enter, Gufang Ninglin opened her eyes.

"Eh? Why did you come at this time?"

Seeing it was Jiang Xun, Gufang Ninglin jumped off the bed; usually, Jiang Xun would only come over at night after finishing his cultivation.

"What's going on?" Jiang Xun spread his hands, looking at the broken lock in his palm.

"What do you mean, what's going on?" Gufang Ninglin looked at the lock, looking completely bewildered.

"Don't play dumb. Who did this?" Jiang Xun asked, looking at Gufang Ninglin.

"... I don't know." Gufang Ninglin shook her head: "When I prepared to go out this morning, I discovered it had been locked from the outside, so I just didn't go out."

She had originally intended to remove the lock before Jiang Xun arrived to avoid making him worry, but she hadn't expected him to come so early today.

"What about the people next door? Who lives there? You must have seen them, right?" Jiang Xun asked.

He had only stayed for one night and had no idea who was next door.

Seeing Jiang Xun's angry expression, Gufang Ninglin knew that even if she didn't say anything, he would go ask Yun Qing anyway, so it was better not to make him run that extra trip.

"Room 9 is a royal from the Shangyu Dynasty named Shangyu Li, and Room 11 is a disciple from a cultivation family of the Shangyu Dynasty named Chen Shiqing... They were the ones who put the lock on."

Gufang Ninglin said with her head lowered.

"What else did they do?"

Jiang Xun continued to ask.

Gufang Ninglin pursed her lips and took several sheets of paper out of her Storage Ring.

"They shoved these through the door crack this morning."

Jiang Xun took the papers from Gufang Ninglin's hand, glanced down, his face darkened, and he immediately burned the papers with Ice Flame.

It was covered in abusive words, things like telling Gufang Ninglin to get out of Tian Wai Lou; there was no signature, and it was unknown who wrote it, but in all likelihood, it was them.

"Everyone from the Shangyu Dynasty and you dog bastards of the Chen family of the Shangyu Dynasty, get out here! Today, this prince will twist your heads off and kick them around like balls!"

Jiang Xun walked out of his room, released his Spirit Power, and shouted at the entire Tian Wai Lou.

Everyone could hear this shout from Jiang Xun.

Those still in Tian Wai Lou all walked out of their rooms one after another, originally intending to watch the commotion.

"Don't! Tian Zeyan, you..." Gufang Ninglin hurriedly chased after him; she had not expected Jiang Xun to actually start cursing in public like this.

Jiang Xun, who had now officially become Tian Zeyan, had absolute confidence; compared to the Tianyu Dynasty, the Shangyu Dynasty still had some gap, so Jiang Xun was not afraid in the slightest.
