Here Comes The Immortal Swordsman

Although Ling Junxuan and his wife were only the masters of Cloudy Dream City, the status of the Ling family in the empire should not be underestimated.

Especially, those who were really powerful and influential all knew that Ling Taixu and Ling Junxuan possessed the purest bloodline of the Ling family. They stayed in Cloudy Dream City because of some special reasons.

But even so, Ling Junxuan"s two sons were outstanding geniuses. They still held important positions in the army, considered to be the future “10 Greatest Generals” of the empire, and their future accomplishments were limitless.

Who dared to look down on this couple?

“Haha, it"s been hard on you all to have come all this way. Please forgive me for not being able to welcome you properly.”

Ling Junxuan cupped one hand in the other before his chest with a face full of smiles. Without waiting for anyone to reply, he said, “Master Bai Haiqin has been cultivating in seclusion for the sword test and is about to end it. Everyone, follow me downstairs. Let"s go to the venue.”

Led by him, they walked downstairs.

“Sir Ling, I heard that your daughter is the top talent in Cloudy Dream City. Why isn"t she here to meet us?” asked the red-haired young man called Xue Yan.

Ling Junxuan didn"t know whether to laugh or cry.

Because his Little Phoenix was regarded as a genius who was second only to the former Son of Destiny in the empire, Lin Tingchan, she was well-known in the Wind-language Province and was coveted by many people. Today, these young swordsmen from various major cities were no exception.

Qin Lanshu said lightly, “Chen"er doesn"t feel well and is resting. She won"t partic.i.p.ate in this sword test.”

Without thinking, Xue Yan immediately replied, “Not feeling well? Hehe, I heard that Miss Ling Chen defeated a demon in a short range. Her strength must have already been in the Warrior Expert Realm, but she"s actually sick? It"s unbelievable. Is it because she doesn"t live up to her reputation and is afraid of being exposed as a fake that she pretends to be sick and doesn"t come out?”

Qin Lanshu raised her willow-leaf-shaped eyebrows. Without looking at him, she just said lightly, “Whose kid is he? He is so uneducated.”

“You…”

Xue Yan was furious, about to say something.

Slap.

A crimson-robed elder with beards next to him slapped the red-haired youth on the head and said, “Shut up. In front of Madam Ling, how can you be so rude?”

Xue Yan still wanted to refute, but he recalled that there were other big shots from other cities on the occasion today, so he stopped sullenly, but he looked extremely unhappy. He was so angry that he wanted to vent his anger in the later sword test compet.i.tion.

The bearded elder in red apologized to Qin Lanshu. “Our young master is a little rude, but he has no ill intentions. Please don"t blame him, Madam.”

Qin Lanshu snorted and didn"t say a word.

This time, Bai Haiqin had decided on his own. He had expanded the scope of the sword test to the entire Wind-language Province. She was already very unhappy. If it were her in the past, these so-called invited guests would have long broken their limbs and been thrown out if they were so rude. But now, for her daughter, she had to be more tolerant.

The whole process took less than 10 minutes.

By the time they arrived in the back garden, the battle between Lin Beichen and Dongfang Zhan was actually still going on.

The air was hot, as if a furnace had been lit in the back garden. They could feel the heat waves blowing over from more than 10 meters away.

To everyone"s surprise, Lin Beichen did not lose. On the contrary, he fought on a par with Dongfang Zhan, a genius in the Warrior Expert Realm. They were evenly matched.

Afterward, everyone in the garden was attracted by such an exciting battle. They were all watching the battle in silence.

Qin Lanshu said softly, “Second Brother Li.”

A figure swiftly entered the battlefield with a flick of his long sleeve.

Clump! Clump!

The two figures in the battle were separated to the left and the right.

Lin Beichen steadied his body, and Mystery Energy was surging like a pot of boiling water all over him. His strength was at its peak. It"s like when he was drinking wine and he was feeling so comfortable that he wanted to fight until the end of the world.

But when he saw that it was Li Luoran who struck, he immediately gave up the idea of continuing to fight.

During the preliminary match, when Shen Fei went into the devilish state, Lin Beichen had seen Li Luoran fight. He was an experienced Warrior Expert. He was very strong, and Lin Beichen knew that he was no match for him.

Lin Beichen couldn"t beat this kind of old fellow, so it was better not to provoke him.

Anyway, now that he had provoked Li Luoran, the steward of the Mansion of the City Governor, Ding Sans.h.i.+ had no reason not to notice him. He had achieved his purpose.

As for Dongfang Zhan, he thought that he could defeat Lin Beichen in a few moves, but it turned out to be a protracted battle. He was so embarra.s.sed that he was separated in a hurry. Without even looking at him, he directly stabbed Li Luoran with his sword, causing the fire to rage wildly.

Li Luoran looked as usual, and he still waved his long sleeve gently.

There wasn"t any kind of scary aura.

Dongfang Zhan groaned and flew out in the air. He landed on the ground and took five or six steps to barely stabilize his body. He only felt half of his body was sore and numb and had no strength to fight anymore.

It was only then that he realized who was the one that prevented him.

“Ah, Mr. Li… I"m sorry. I was on the spur of the moment…”

Dongfang Zhan, who was startled, apologized quickly.

Li Luoran"s status in the Mansion of the City Governor was extraordinary, and he was definitely a big shot in Cloudy Dream City. Even his parents and elders did not dare to act rashly in front of Li Luoran, not to mention him.

Li Luoran looked as usual and said with a smile, “You don"t have to worry about it, Dongfang Zhan.”

After saying that, he stepped back and stood behind Madam Ling and her husband.

Cao Potian, who was in the pavilion, also stood up and came out. He saluted Madam Ling and her husband with a very respectful att.i.tude.

At this time, it was already night.

The entire Cloudy Dream City was covered by the cold silver moonlight.

Under the light of the silver moon, the back garden looked beautiful and charming. The surrounding flowers, trees, and buildings were covered with a mysterious lunar aura.

“Everyone, the sword test is about to begin. Please take your seats. Let the banquet begin.”

There were musicians playing the soothing music around, infusing a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere into the back garden.

Under the guidance of the young male servants and maids, they all found their own seats and sat down one by one.

Lin Beichen"s seat was very far from the main stage.

Bai Qinyun and Lin Beichen sat next to each other.

The two of them sat alone in the back row.

“I must have been implicated by this guy.”

The aloof little girl threw a sideways glance at Lin Beichen, her mind filled with indignation.

Lin Beichen glanced around and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Because he saw the sitting Ding Sans.h.i.+.

The position of the old teacher was second only to the Ling Junxuan couple. It was right on the left side of the main seat, in front of those of the many important figures who had come down from the tower.

On the right of the main seat opposite Ding Sans.h.i.+ sat a middle-aged man in his 40s. His face was ruddy, and his figure was slender. From his left eyebrow to his temple, there was a dark red scar, which made the middle-aged man look strange and evil.

Cao Potian, whose “tail” was high up in the sky, stood behind the middle-aged man with his hands down.

“This middle-aged man is probably Bai Haiqin, one of the three famous swordsmen in Baiyun City.”

He was the initiator of the sword test.

It was this man who made trouble for Ding Sans.h.i.+.

However, his disciple, Cao Potian, was already very powerful. Presumably, his strength was even higher.

“How can I help Mr. Ding?”

Lin Beichen secretly pondered.
