True Martial World - Chapter 1101: Enjoying the Show

Blood Jade was the kind of person that was cruel by nature. He had killed countless people and placed great importance on himself, making him extremely selfish. Such people disgusted Yi Yun the most. Using the pure Yang broken sword to kill him would be an insult to the Pure Yang Sword Palace owner. Instead he handed Blood Jade over to Xin'er and company, which was also a way to have them avenge the countless girls that Blood Jade had killed.

With their metal shackles destroyed by Yi Yun, the girls from the Divine Secrets Trading Company felt their strength restored.

Their helplessness, despair, and feeling of living death had vanished in a blink of an eye. Their freedom was restored.

"Thank you, Young Master Yi, for saving our lives."

Xin'er's eyes brimmed with tears as she knelt to the ground. She recalled the night when she stood by the door as her mistress shared a meal with Yi Yun under the moon. Back then, she felt that there was nothing Yi Yun could not do.

Beneath Xin'er was a dying Young Master Blood Jade, who was on his last breaths. Xin'er gritted her teeth, for she hated a person like him to the bone. She grabbed a dagger, and it was clear that she has no intention of sparing him.

Upon sensing Xin'er's killing intent, Blood Jade's lips trembled. His eyes were filled with viciousness and indignation. He never expected that he would die at the hands of a girl, especially having fooled around with so many girls in his life.

At that moment, there was a loud rumbling explosion. The entire Dao Domain trembled, for the silent Huayu had suddenly flown up and struck the Destruction Dao Domain's barrier.

However, he immediately felt a force of pure annihilation creep up his palm, straight into his body and limbs.

Huayu grunted and retreated several steps back. He received slight injuries from the rebounding force of the Dao Domain barrier.

Yet although the Dao Domain boundary had shaken violently from his strike, it didn’t show a single sign of damage!

When he saw this, Huayu's heart plummeted.

He could not rupture it! Despite having cultivated for ten thousand years, he was unable to break a junior's Dao Domain!

Huayu was already certain that what Yi Yun had said was true. The barrier in front of him was definitely not some ancient array formation that Yi Yun had chanced upon. Instead, it was Yi Yun's own Dao Domain. He knew because he had sensed similar laws from Yi Yun's strike at Young Master Blood Jade. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Yi Yun was too fearsome!

In that moment, Huayu was filled with horror. If he could turn back time, he would rather have killed Yan Tiancong than met Yi Yun.

"Master, what are we to do now?"

Yan Tiancong saw how Young Master Blood Jade lay by the girls' feet like a sorry mess. His expression had already turned ashen.

He never expected Yi Yun to be that strong. Sure, he had seen him defeat Jian Xiaoshuang, but he could not tell exactly how much stronger Yi Yun was. Now, he knew that Yi Yun could not be viewed as someone from the younger generation. He was on the level of those old monsters!

Even his own master had little chance of winning.

However, Yan Tiancong clung to a small bit of hope. He wished that His Excellency Huayu could reverse the situation.

"What do we do?" When Huayu heard Yan Tiancong's words, he became more irate, especially when he noticed that Yan Tiancong was shrinking back behind him, clearly intending for him to be the shield to defend against Yi Yun.

"You are the one who offended Yi Yun and yet you dare ask me what to do? You want me to be your shield and die in your stead?"

His Excellency Huayu suddenly grabbed Yan Tiancong by the neck.

"Mas…Master!"

Yan Tiancong was scared out of his wits. Huayu had raised him up by the neck. He used all his strength to hold on to Huayu's hand as his feet kicked powerlessly in mid-air.

He did not dare kick Huayu, for he knew that he didn’t have the strength to overpower his master.

Huayu grabbed Yan Tiancong's wrist.

"Ka-cha!"

With a crisp crack, Yan Tiancong issued a shrill scream as his was crushed by Huayu.

"You wretched disciple! I took you in but you only gave me trouble! Now that Young Master Yi is here for your life, you want to use me as your shield? How ruthless you are!"

As Huayu spoke, he pinched another time!

"Ka-cha!"

Yan Tiancong's other wrist was crushed by Huayu. Huayu made sure to crush the wrist bones into powder so that it would be extremely difficult for him to recover even if he had natural treasures on hand.

After Huayu crippled Yan Tiancong’s hands, he said to Yi Yun, "Young Master Yi, I hereby banish this wretched disciple from my tutelage! I have crippled both of his hands, and hand him over to you to deal with as you see fit! Whatever this wretched disciple has done has nothing to do with me. Back when the Divine Secrets Trading Company was in trouble, I truly regret not having saved them. I hope that Young Master Yi will be magnanimous enough to forgive me any wrongdoings. It can be said that I do not have any grudges with you in the past. I beseech Young Master Yi to spare me, and I will be grateful for it!"

As Huayu spoke, he respectfully bowed to Yi Yun.

Upon hearing Huayu's statement, Yan Tiancong's heart was filled with despair. He knew very well that Huayu was abandoning him to save himself. By sacrificing him, he was able to ingratiate himself to Yi Yun.

This made Yan Tiancong's hatred reach a new maximum!

"Huayu, do you think Yi Yun will spare you if you do this to me? You darn old man, whenever you needed any treasures from my Heaven Amplification Trading Company, I did my best to obtain them for you. Now, you are being so ruthless to me. Even if I were to die, I'd definitely pull you along!"

Yan Tiancong only managed to finish half his words before his throat was squeezed tightly by Huayu. Huayu's eyes were filled with killing intent, and he just needed to use a bit of strength to snap Yan Tiancong's neck off.

"You dare speak of me being ruthless? You are only my disciple in name, yet you have used my name to rob others of their belongings. Do you think I'm a fool!?"

As Huayu spoke, he slapped Yan Tiancong in the face, reducing the left side of his face to a bloody mangled mess. Crushed teeth stained with blood dropped out of his mouth.

Following that, Huayu kicked twice, shattering Yan Tiancong's kneecaps. At that point, Yan Tiancong was like a crippled and abandoned wretch. His expression was ashen as he lost all his will to carry on living.

Yi Yun did not do a thing, instead watching with his hands held behind him. All he did was stand back and enjoy the show.

Behind Yi Yun, the girls from the Divine Secrets Trading Company also watched the scene unfold before their eyes. They were somewhat confounded. Previously, Yan Tiancong was like a redoubtable existence. A single statement of his controlled their fates, and His Excellency Huayu was Yan Tiancong's master that he put on a pedestal as though he were a god. But now, because of the threat of Yi Yun, a so-called senior like Huayu had abandoned all his dignity. He revealed his ugly nature by crippling the overbearing and arrogant Yan Tiancong in order to survive.

This was what absolute strength could bring!

Xin'er drew a deep breath as she looked at Yi Yun with a deep sense of reverence. That was the pinnacle of what warriors could achieve. That was the strength of martial arts—a simple sentence determining life and death, controlling the world and lording over the Universe!

"Young Master Yi, I have already crippled Yan Tiancong. Can you let me leave?" asked Huayu politely as he held Yan Tiancong up like a dead wretch.

True Martial World - Chapter 1100: I'll leave him to you

Yan Tiancong’s emotions were stirring. No wonder that smile from before had sent a chill down his spine. It was because the person was Yi Yun in disguise.

"Yi Yun! He's Yi Yun!"

Yan Tiancong yelled loudly. He looked at Yi Yun in fear but upon realizing that his master was beside him, he was able to regain some composure.

"Yan Tiancong, you have rubbed me the wrong way time and time again. Today, I'll send you to your death so that you can be reincarnated."

Yi Yun said lazily. He was the lord of his domain, allowing him free reign over Yan Tiancong.

"You want me dead? Go ahead and try!"

Before Yan Tiancong spoke, he had already taken a step back to a spot behind His Excellency Huayu. Simultaneously, he secretly crushed a voice transmission charm.

Although he was confident that His Excellency Huayu would protect him from Yi Yun, he still wanted to inform the Seven Star Auction Company. They would want to send their experts to capture Yi Yun.

Yi Yun had seen the covert action, but he placed his hands behind his back and completely ignored it.

"Are you done sending out the transmission?" Yi Yun said with a smile. His Destruction domain completely isolated the space from the exterior world. If it was unable to block a simple voice transmission charm, then all the time spent learning Destruction Laws would’ve been rather pointless.

Seeing Yi Yun take on such a confident pose, Yan Tiancong's heart sank. He realized that it was impossible for him to send the information out. The only way out was to kill Yi Yun.

"Not a bad method! It seems like you have providence bestowing its light on you, to have obtained such an ancient array." Young Master Blood Jade truly looked at Yi Yun, this time with none of his earlier contempt. "Yi Yun, I have heard the stories about you. It's said that your talent sits atop the Central State Divine Territory. Even the Seven Star Dao Palace views you as a mortal malady. I have long intended to meet you."

Young Master Blood Jade smirked, his eyes glimmering with a greedy glint. "My Bloodlust sect cultivates in techniques that require the consumption of blood. The blood of beauties like these is tasty, but in terms of cultivation efficiency, it's far inferior to the blood of peerless geniuses. Yi Yun, your blood is mine. You must have had special encounters. Your interspatial ring will be mine, and I will inherit the light bestowed upon you by providence, extending your legacy."

As Young Master Blood Jade spoke, his energy burst out, blasting off his top. His body began to grow red fur and his teeth sharpened. They looked the fangs of wild beasts.

"Although you are a genius, you simply haven’t developed long enough. Today, I'll show you the difference time can make! You will also understand the difference in our bloodlines!" As Young Master Blood Jade spoke, his aura constantly surged higher.

Fey?

Yi Yun’s eyelids pricked up. The Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven had humans, so it was only natural that the Yang God Empyrean Heaven had Fey. The Bloodlust Sect, it seemed, was a Fey sect. That explained why they liked human blood.

"So you are nothing but a red-furred monkey. To think, you spewed so much nonsense," Yi Yun said disdainfully. Upon hearing Yi Yun's sarcasm, Young Master Blood Jade was infuriated!

"You have no conception of your impending death!"

He roared as his figure swelled up suddenly.

"Cha Cha Cha!" The back of his hands grew three long claws that resembled blades. They suddenly came slashing at Yi Yun's throat!

Roar!

At that moment, a gigantic red-furred beast phantom appeared behind Young Master Blood Jade. It was the power of his Fey bloodline!

But Yi Yun only waved his hand against Young Master Blood Jade, who had triggered his bloodline.

999 flying sabers flew out and, like a snowstorm that touched down, Young Master Blood Jade's claws clashed with the flying sabers!

Pi Pi Pa Pa!

The tumultuous sound of metal colliding echoed. The entire Destruction domain was filled with saber flashes and claw shadows!

Young Master Blood Jade, who had partially transformed into his Fey form, lost all previous elegance. It was as if he had truly become a beast.

"Whew Whew Whew Whew!"

Suddenly, Young Master Blood Jade's red fur grew in length and shot out like tentacles, binding the Thousand Snow flying sabers in mid-air.

Young Master Blood Jade's red fur was a tough and tensile net that completely trapped the flying sabers. The flying sabers pulsed incessantly, but could not free themselves.

"Hahaha! I want you dead!"

Young Master Blood Jade began charging at Yi Yun with the hundreds of flying sabers wrapped up in his fur!

Faced with the frenetic Young Master Blood Jade, Yi Yun flipped his hand, and a rusty broken sword appeared in it.

"You want to slay me with that sword of yours?"

Young Master Blood Jade's red fur shot out and began hurtling at Yi Yun's hands.

However, at that very instant, Yi Yun's sword seemed to become absolute darkness. It was as if all light in the world was consumed by Yi Yun's sword!

Space and time appeared to be meaningless in front of the sword.

Facing the sword was like facing the immensity of the Universe.

Yi Yun infused his Heart of the Sword into the sword. It seemed to pierce through the distant past, vast space, and straight into Young Master Blood Jade's chest.

It was too fast!

Not only was it fast, it was completely unavoidable. The sword was like the heaven and earth itself. How could one dodge when the world itself was crashing down on him?

Unless one's cultivation level and nomological insights surpassed Yi Yun’s, allowing one to break his stance, there was no way to resist his sword.

'"Puah!"

Blood splattered as the countless strands of red fur twirling in mid-air were sliced off by sword beams. Young Master Blood Jade's body trembled violently and he flew backward like a broken gunny sack.

Boom!

Young Master Blood Jade crashed into the boundary of the Destruction domain before bouncing back, eventually crashing heavily to the ground.

This strike had not only penetrated Young Master Blood Jade's body, it had also annihilated his vitality.

With the broken sword in hand that somehow did not have a single drop of blood staining it, Yi Yun approached Young Master Blood Jade. "I thought you had adequate strength, but you are only at the level of Jian Fenghong after all."

Yi Yun shook his head. Unknowingly, he had already matured to such a powerful state.

The expedition to the Azure Wood Great World had transformed him for the better. And now in the Sun Burial Sandsea, he had more breakthroughs, especially into the way of the sword. They allowed Yi Yun's strength to rapidly increase.

Now, ordinary warriors of Sun Burial Sandsea could not put up any resistance against Yi Yun. Even the geniuses of large sects were also greatly inferior to him. Only seniors like Jian Wufeng and Jian Buyi could subdue Yi Yun. But even then, the gap between them wasn't that large anymore.

"You…How is it possible…"

Young Master Blood Jade convulsed. He was already at the Dao Palace realm and had cultivated for nearly five centuries. Yet, the difference between him and Yi Yun was immense. How could someone who had not even cultivated for sixty years possess such strength?

At that moment, Yi Yun brandished his sword nonchalantly.

Whew!

An unremarkable sword beam shot at the row of girls on the stone platform. With the sound of a gentle wind blowing across the surface of a pond, Xin'er and company's metallic shackles crumbled.

The tough metallic chains turned to dust under the sword beam. The girls did not feel any pain in their wrists and ankles. Such a Sword Dao was truly astounding.

"I'll leave him to you."

Yi Yun kicked the crippled Young Master Blood Jade to the feet of Xin'er and company like he was a wastrel of no consequence.

True Martial World - Chapter 1099: Massacre

"Kill that punk and skin him!"

Yan Tiancong bellowed loudly. He was extremely infuriated. To create such a commotion in Heaven Amplification Trading Company territory, in front of Young Master Blood Jade, was equivalent to publicly smacking him in the face. How could he tolerate such a thing?

Instantly, servants began rushing in from every corner. The two Elders standing behind Yan Tiancong also began to surround Yi Yun from both sides.

Yi Yun looked at Yan Tiancong and the corner of his wrinkled lips curved up slightly, revealing a teasing smile.

This smile baffled and shocked Yan Tiancong when it landed in his eyes. For some reason, the smile looked somewhat familiar, but the aged face was clearly that of a middle-aged man that was not doing well. Yan Tiancong felt that he was overthinking things.

He said with a sneer, "You’re still in the mood to smile? Fighting in the teleportation market is a violation of the rules here. Take him down, but break his limbs first!"

The moment Yan Tiancong gave the order, a bunch of Heaven Amplification Trading Company servants rushed over. But in an instant, nearly a thousand cold beams emitted from Yi Yun's body!

Cha! Cha! Cha!

999 flying sabers shot in every direction. The servants that had charged forward failed to react in time. Their bodies came to a sudden halt as they were pierced through by the flying sabers. Instantly, blood splattered as limbs flew. Tragic cries were heard everywhere as the small region was instantly no different from a Shura slaughter ground.

The terrifying scene drained all color from the Divine Secrets Trading Company girls' faces. They did not know when such a terrifying executioner had appeared. However, in the eyes of these girls, his brand of terror was much better than Young Master Blood Jade, who ate humans and drank blood. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

"Oh?"

Seeing so many servants die simultaneously, Young Master Blood Jade finally began to treat Yi Yun seriously. This was a person of ability, and not some ordinary itinerant warrior.

But even so, Young Master Blood Jade wasn't concerned. "Not bad. A person like you shouldn't be unknown. What's your name?"

Young Master Blood Jade could not think of anyone around Sun Burial Sandsea that used flying sabers.

"A dead person like you does not need to know my name." Yi Yun looked at Blood Jade coldly.

"Hahahaha!"

Young Master Blood Jade roared with laughter, as though he had heard the funniest joke in the world. "No one has ever been so arrogant in front of me before. Let’s ignore the fact that you aren't my match. Even if you survived more a few of my moves, the experts of my Bloodlust Sect are not far off. They would only take a few moments to rush over here. Do you think a lone person like you can escape?"

Behind Young Master Blood Jade, His Excellency Huayu also laughed. The person in front of them truly did not know anything. He also had several friends in the vicinity. They too would quickly rush in and, when that time came, Yi Yun would be a sitting duck. He naturally would be unable to conceal his identity when that happened.

"Bloodlust Sect?" Yi Yun smiled nonchalantly. When he first attacked, he had spread his perception to probe in every direction. The truly terrifying people, those at the level of the Seven Star Dao Palace Deputy Palatial Lord, had long entered deep into the Sun Burial Sandsea.

Although there were experts in the vicinity of the teleportation array, they did not pose a threat to Yi Yun at all. Of course, he had to take care not to expose his identity, lest he attract the murderous attention of the Seven Star Dao Palace.

Yi Yun suddenly took a step forward as a blackish-gray aura emitted from his body.

The aura had an indescribably vast and majestic atmosphere. When it emanated throughout the surroundings, everyone felt that they could not avoid it. It was as if the aura had sealed off the world, placing them in an alternate universe.

"What is that?"

Blood Jade and His Excellency Huayu were alarmed. The strange aura had sealed the space around them. It was like they were isolated from the rest of the world.

"Array? You obtained an ancient disk array?" His Excellency Huayu asked in shock. From his point of view, only an ancient disk array could seal off space.

Yi Yun chuckled and shook his head. He said, "This is my Dao Domain."

This Dao Domain was Yi Yun's Destruction Dao Domain. He had enveloped space around him, trapping Blood Jade and Huayu within. With them isolated as such, he could use any moves on them and no one outside would see. Naturally, that would prevent his identity from being exposed.

The only danger was if Blood Jade and Huayu had the ability to destroy his Destruction Dao Domain, otherwise they would remain trapped in the area!

"Dao Domain? Stop bragging!" Blood Jade was a well-learned person as well. It was impossible that this vast and majestic Dao Domain that made it seem like he was facing an entire Universe could be generated by such a trivial figure. Perhaps even the Palatial Lord of the Seven Star Dao Palace was unable to produce a Dao Domain of such quality.

Yi Yun could not be bothered refuting him. He added, "I forgot to tell you. In my Dao Domain, time moves a lot faster. I have sufficient time to finish all of you before the people on the outside can even react."

As Yi Yun spoke, he suddenly waved his hands!

"Cha! Cha! Cha!"

Dozens of cold beams flew out and shot straight at Yang Yanguang!

"Ah!"

Yang Yanguang was frightened out of his wits. He had no way to put up any form of resistance. Dozens of flying sabers penetrated his body, and his limbs were completely diced into minced meat and bone fragments. The flying sabers that pierced his torso had lodged him to the stone platform as blood flowed incessantly.

The stone platform was just at the feet of the row of girls. They were terrified as they gaped their tiny mouths. Their eyes were filled with horror and pleasant surprise. They did not dare believe that Yang Yanguang, who lorded over their fates in such a high and mighty manner, would die. He came from a powerful faction, allowing him to engage in nefarious acts for more than a century, yet there he was dying under their feet.

Yang Yanguang's eyes were turbid as blood spewed out of his mouth. He breathed out more than he breathed in. It was obvious that he could not live much longer.

He was struggling with all his might as he produced unintelligible sounds in an indignant manner. At his deathbed, he seemed to refuse to believe that this was how it ended.

"Back then, Ji Shuiyan cleaved off your limbs but spared your life. Who knew that an old dog like you would be rescued? Your limbs were even reattached. This time, however, I have diced them all. So how will you continue to survive?"

As Yi Yun spoke, he waved his hand, sending saber beams to inundate Yang Yanguang. With a tragic cry, he was devoured by the saber beams as blood splattered, completely ending his life.

But in that moment, Yan Tiancong could not be bothered with Yang Yanguang's death. Yi Yun's words had given him a fright!

"What did you say? Ji Shuiyan!?"

Ji Shuiyan imprisoning Yang Yanguang and cleaving off his limbs was a trivial manner. If it were a warrior from outside the city, there was no reason for him to know of the matter.

Furthermore, the person in front of him clearly knew Ji Shuiyan. Combined with his ruthless display of strength, Yan Tiancong suddenly trembled as a realization streaked across his brain.

"You are Yi Yun!?"

Yan Tiancong had long been frightened by Yi Yun. But wasn't Yi Yun in the Clarity Pool Sword Sect and besieged by the Seven Star Dao Palace? How could he be here?

Yi Yun did not deny it. He had no intention of concealing his identity. From the moment he conjured his Destruction Dao Domain, he had already determined that none from the Heaven Amplification Trading Company would be leaving.

True Martial World - Chapter 1098: Young Master Blood Jade

"If you are buying, show some money and let’s talk price. If you aren't buying, don't stand here. We have a business to run," Yang Yanguang said impatiently.

If this stall were in a commoner’s part of town, he would always be polite, even to those who had no intention of buying anything. After all, amiability was conducive to a successful business. But in a warrior's world, there was no need to show any amiability. There was no need to show any form of courtesy to a someone who was obviously not there to close a deal.

Yang Yanguang wasn't wrong. Yi Yun was indeed not a potential buyer. His gaze had scanned gently across Xin'er and a seventeen-year-old girl. The two girls felt a trepidation that went down to their core. It was a sense of horror and helplessness like that of an injured deer under a butcher's knife.

"Which one of you here is in charge?"

Yi Yun looked at Yang Yanguang and said with a voice that hid a forbidding killing intent. However, at Yang Yanguang's cultivation level, he could not sense Yi Yun's aura at all.

He scoffed and was just about to deliver a few derisive jibes when suddenly, his eyes lit up. He ignored Yi Yun and began walking into another direction.

As Yang Yanguang walked, he said, "Haha, Young Master Blood Jade, welcome! My apologies for making you come so far!"

Yang Yanguang was all smiles.The wrinkles on his face were so crunched together that they could even trap flies.

The Young Master Blood Jade he mentioned was the Bloodlust Sect's core disciple. He was rather well known in Sun Burial Sandsea, but it was mainly infamy. The Bloodlust Sect cultivated in unorthodox techniques. Cultivators of their heritage would not be able to repress the Yin frost Qi in their bodies and, with time, would begin thirsting for the blood of others. They actually drank blood to balance and nourish the Yin frost Qi in their bodies. This gave the Bloodlust Sect a notorious reputation. Warriors who died at the hands of the Bloodlust Sect typically ended up as desiccated corpses.

Although the Bloodlust Sect's reputation was poor, it was powerful. The Heaven Amplification Trading Company ignored the reputation of those they had relations with. As long as they had strength and they could benefit the Heaven Amplification Trading Company, Yan Tiancong would choose to befriend them.

Young Master Blood Jade completely ignored Yang Yanguang's excessive attention. His eyes were locked onto the row of young girls behind Yang Yanguang.

As he looked, he stroked his chin and revealed a satisfied look.

"Not bad!" Blood Jade said with a nod.

"Haha, didn't I say so!? I did send an invitation by sword courier to you, personally inviting you to come to Jade Luster City and choose sex slaves. How could I possibly try to fool you with inferior goods?"

At that moment, a youth with a folding fan in hand walked over with a beaming smile. Yi Yun's eyes flashed coldly when he saw that person.

It was none other than Yan Tiancong!

Behind Yan Tiancong was another elder. He had white hair and his skin was somewhat gray. His eyes were deeply recessed so that he seemed to be lacking in vitality.

Yi Yun remembered the elder to be Yan Tiancong's master, His Excellency Huayu.

His Excellency Huayu's sect was Yan Tiancong's backer. He seldom did things for the Heaven Amplification Trading Company, but the Heaven Amplification Trading Company would give a sizable amount of treasures to His Excellency Huayu on an annual basis.

With Yan Tiancong and His Excellency Huayu were two other azure-clothed elders following behind in a polite and ingratiating manner. They were the Heaven Amplification Trading Company's Elders, and compared to His Excellency Huayu and Young Master Blood Jade, they were much too inferior.

It was as the saying went, enemies often cross each other's path.

Yi Yun was very pleased to encounter Yan Tiancong here. However, he was currently disguised using the Thousand Mask. It was still quite a troublesome task to kill Yan Tiancong in the market around the teleportation array without anyone suspecting his identity.

If Yi Yun were to use any of his unique moves against His Excellency Huayu, it would definitely attract the attention of the Seven Star Dao Palace.

…

"Nice, very nice!"

Young Master Blood Jade laughed heartily. His laughter was high-pitched and sounded like a eunuch's.

He leaped onto the stone platform and looked at the girls.

Xin'er's face was pale and she had nearly buried her head into her chest. She was afraid of letting Young Master Blood Jade see her, but even so, she failed to escape her predicament.

As Ji Shuiyan's personal maidservant, Xin'er possessed special talent.

"Haha, I like this girl a lot. I want her!"

"And this one!"

Young Master Blood Jade immediately pointed out twelve girls, leaving only three or four unchosen.

"Then, it shall be these twelve," Young Master Blood Jade said nonchalantly.

"About that…" It pained Yan Tiancong when he heard Young Master Blood Jade demand so many. After all, there were experts from various large sects coming to Jade Luster City these days. Yan Tiancong wanted to offer them gifts, but the best thing that the Heaven Amplification Trading Company could produce were these supreme-grade sex slaves, ones that drew the envy of others. If he were to give all of them to Blood Jade, he would need to go through the trouble of finding more.

"Why? You can't bear to part with them?" Young Master Blood Jade frowned slightly and said with a light tone. "Other than using them, I would occasionally need some blood for food. A young girl's blood is quite delicious. Twelve girls might not even be a year's expenditure for me. Yet, you aren't willing?"

Young Master Blood Jade's words sounded like a devil's cackle in the Divine Secrets Trading Company girls' ears. His use of the word 'expenditure' meant that he did not see them as humans.

"How could that be? Of course, I'm willing!"

Yan Tiancong hurriedly changed his tone as he gave an obsequious smile. He waved his hand at Yang Yanguang and said, "Advisor Yang, find a few old woman and wash them clean before sending them to Young Master Blood Jade's room."

"Yes, master." Yang Yanguang was all smiles. But just as he was about to give the order, he suddenly frowned. He noticed that the poor loser, Yi Yun, was still standing by the side of the stone platform.

Yang Yanguang was somewhat incensed. He signaled to a few of his strongmen with his eyes and they began walking to Yi Yun.

"This is not a place a loser like you should linger around. Hurry and scram. Don't disgust Young Master Blood Jade with that mug of yours!"

A strongman reached out his arm to grab at Yi Yun, but the instant he stretched his hand out, he felt his wrist turn cold. Following that, an excruciating pain transmitted to his head. He turned his head and noticed his right hand had already disappeared. It had been cleanly lobbed off his wrist!

"Ah!" The strongman cried out tragically as he looked at Yi Yun in horror. The stubbled and worn out face was looking coldly at him, as though he was looking at a corpse.

The strongman had not seen Yi Yun make a move but his hand had already been sliced off!

"Punk! You are courting death!" Yang Yanguang was enraged, for he never expected Yi Yun to suddenly attack so ruthlessly. This was the Jade Luster teleportation array, the territory of the Heaven Amplification Trading Company. Yet, he dared to attack a first-grade guard of the Heaven Amplification Trading Company!

"Oh?"

Young Master Blood Jade turned his head to look at Yi Yun. His pupils had a few dark red patches and his lips looked exceedingly lustrous. He licked his lips and revealed an amused smile.

He never expected that this trivial figure, that he previously wouldn’t bother to acknowledge, would suddenly attack. "Interesting. There is truly no lack of people in this world that do not know the meaning of death. Unfortunately, a middle-aged man's blood is not delicious at all. I can't even be bothered to drink it."

True Martial World - Chapter 1097: Bitter Encounter in the Market

Sun Burial Sandsea was a vast region fraught with danger. The ordinary merchant companies would avoid traversing the Sun Burial Sandsea for long periods of time. As such, some array masters had established various teleportation arrays in Sun Burial Sandsea.

The space in Sun Burial Sandsea was unstable, so the creation of teleportation arrays was easily accomplished through the use of natural spatial nodes.

These teleportation arrays belonged to various factions, and their use required a fee paid to the owning faction.

With the phenomenon suddenly arising in Sun Burial Sandsea, the business of these teleportation arrays rapidly began to flourish.

Yi Yun naturally wouldn't miss the shortcut that was made available through the teleportation arrays. He was already arriving behind many others, so using teleportation arrays was all he could do to close the gap.

Yi Yun bought a teleportation array map and hastened to the closest teleportation array in Jade Luster City. There, he saw all kinds of warriors.

Due to the huge influx of people into the Sun Burial Sandsea, many were gathered around the teleportation arrays, forming a rather sizable economy.

Warriors and merchants were gathered in the market, selling a large variety of products.

To traverse the Sun Burial Sandsea, assorted pills, charms of varying effects, and disk arrays were essential. There were also itinerant warriors that had come out of Sun Burial Sandsea and were interested in selling the natural treasures they had harvested. Many people saw an opportunity for profit, so they had come hoping to earn a tidy sum.

In fact, many of the gathered people were not there for the Sun Burial Sandsea's phenomenon. They simply lingered around the teleportation array to do business.

Out of all the stores, the ones selling pills, relics, and natural treasures were the most plentiful. They filled the streets.

There were also cultivation techniques, weapons, ancient items of unknown origin, and minerals. If one had a keen eye, they could buy something valuable at a cheap price. Yi Yun even saw a stall that sold sex slaves and female slaves.

That stall was located in the middle of the market, and it had more than ten beautiful girls dressed in thin clothes. They stood in a row on a circular stone platform. Their hands and feet were bound by thin golden chains that were engraved with an array. These chains limited the girls’ Yuan Qi circulation, making them as helpless as ordinary mortal girls and unable to even consider resisting.

Yi Yun sighed softly. These girls had alluring looks coupled with depressed expressions. Their eyes were clouded as if filled with despair at the prospect of their future. Moreover, two or three of the girls appeared to be fourteen or fifteen. Their bodies were still pubescent with tiny lumps on their chests. Yi Yun shook his head. For them to end up as female slaves or sex slaves at such a young age was a terrible shame. It was unknown how much suffering they would undergo if a cruel male warrior were to buy them.

"Come on and take a look! Choose anyone that catches your fancy! These sex slaves are brand new and guaranteed virgins. Their Primordial Yin still remains, ripe for the picking. Buy them now, and use them in any way you like. Be it a waiting concubine or a maidservant, it's your choice!"

Beneath the stone platform, an old man with a scrawny mustache shouted. Beside him stood about six brawny men who looked domineering.

Upon seeing the old man, Yi Yun's mind stirred. That's…

He suddenly came to a realization as he looked up at the platform. His gaze locked onto a girl that looked fourteen. Her head was lowered and there were streaks of tears on her round face. Her frail body was still lightly trembling.

It's her!

Yi Yun remembered the girl. She was Ji Shuiyan's personal maidservant, whose name he vaguely recalled to be Xin'er. Whenever Ji Shuiyan came to his room at night to serve him alone by pouring him wine, Xin'er had been guarding the door in an obedient manner. The maidservant had her head lowered so Yi Yun did not notice her at first.

Following that…Yi Yun saw another seventeen-year-old beauty with a slim figure. She had an ashen expression but Yi Yun had a deep impression of her. Back when he was immobile in Sun Burial Sandsea, it was this girl, dressed in yellow maidservant garb, that had pulled the curtains open to tell her mistress he wanted to see her.

The two female slaves were the maidservants of the Divine Secrets Trading Company!

Yi Yun drew a deep breath as his eyes flickered with great killing intent. There was no doubt that this was an act of the Heaven Amplification Trading Company!

As for the shouting old man with the scrawny mustache, he was the Heaven Amplification Trading Company's advisor, Yang Yanguang!

Upon realizing this, Yi Yun's expression turned nasty. Ji Shuiyan said that she had made arrangements for her people. There was a tunnel inside the Divine Secrets Trading Company that led out of the city. Once she gave the command, her trusted followers would escape Jade Luster City through the tunnel. As such, Yi Yun had not been worried about the people from the Divine Secrets Trading Company. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Now, from the looks of it, there had to be a traitor in the Divine Secrets Trading Company, leaking out the news of the tunnel. If not, Yan Tiancong had taken precautions, allowing him to capture the fleeing followers.

"How dare you, Yan Tiancong!"

In Yi Yun's mind, Yan Tiancong was not even worth mentioning. However, this insignificant wretch had disgusted Yi Yun time and time again.

Yan Tiancong was also the cause of Yi Yun being pursued by the Seven Star Dao Palace.

Now, Yan Tiancong had been utterly ruthless to the Divine Secrets Trading Company. Yi Yun had already implicated the Divine Secrets Trading Company, so this only added to his fury.

At that moment, Advisor Yang noticed Yi Yun, who was standing in front of the stone platform. Yi Yun was still using the Star Transference Heaven Changing Book through the use of the Thousand Mask. His youthful face was gone, and he was now a middle-aged man with stubble who appeared to have experienced the vicissitudes of life.

All his enchanted weapons had been kept and he only wore an ordinary set of clothing that was slightly old and tattered. He hung a wine gourd by his waist—Azure Yang Lord of the past had also traversed the world with a wine gourd by his waist.

However, Yi Yun did not use a sword anymore and returned to using a saber. Also, he did not conceal his cultivation level, letting it remain at the mid-stages of the Dao Manifestation realm. In the Central State Divine Territory, if a true sect's warrior at middle age reached the middle-stages of the Dao Manifestation realm, he would only be considered below average. He was destined to not attain to much in the future so he would attract little attention at Sun Burial Sandsea.

"Hi there, are you interested in these female slaves?" Yang Yanguang stroked his scrawny mustache and sized up Yi Yun, who did not look like someone with money. Furthermore, his cultivation level wasn't high. He was likely an itinerant warrior that wasn't doing well. Such people definitely weren’t there for the Sun Burial Sandsea's phenomenon, for they would only be courting death. At best, they would risk their lives to pick a few crappy herbs in Sun Burial Sandsea so that they could earn a tiny sum in the market.

Upon thinking of this, a look of contempt flashed in Yang Yanguang's eyes. He lost interest in Yi Yun. How could such an itinerant warrior even think of buying a few sex slaves to engage in pleasure? He should be pissing a pool and looking at his reflection. These girls were, after all, painstakingly chosen from the Divine Secrets Trading Company. Not only were their looks and figures outstanding, they also had martial talent. Furthermore, in the Divine Secrets Trading Company, that foolish woman Ji Shuiyan had treated her subordinates well. These maidservants were given precious herbs for consumption, so how could some poor loser afford them?

True Martial World - Chapter 1096: Unexpected Occurrence at Sun Burial Sandsea

Once Liu Ruyi waved her hand, seven people dressed in seven-starred Daoist robes flew out from behind her. Each one carried a series of array flags, and each series was a collection of seven flags, making a forty-nine array flag formation.

The seven people jointly began laying the Seven Star Gate Rupturing Array. This siege array of the Seven Star Dao Palace needed the combined efforts of seven array masters. Liu Ruyi refused to believe that the Clarity Pool Sword Sect's entrance could remain hidden under the Seven Star Gate Rupturing Array.

In little time, the Seven Star Gate Rupturing Array was laid. But seconds before it was about to be activated, a wisp of fire lit up in front of Liu Ruyi. It was the beam of light created by a voice transmission slip.

After Liu Ruyi received the voice transmission, her eyes lit up and, after a moment of thought, she waved her hand and transmitted her voice to High Ambassador Yu Heng before transforming into a beam of light and disappearing into the horizon.

"Oh? She has left?"

"Liu Ruyi actually left? She's the strongest among this group of people. Without her, there's only High Ambassador Yu Heng. Even with the Seven Star Gate Rupturing Array, their forces won’t amount to much against our Clarity Pool Sword Sect."

Everyone saw Liu Ruyi disappear in the projection array and were quite surprised. They did not know if it was a scheme.

"It's likely because of that voice transmission slip. It must’ve contained some important information or that vicious woman, Liu Ruyi, would never go back on her word. Her threats are definitely not empty. She promised to flatten the entire area, so how can she so easily retreat?"

Jian Buyi pondered until, at that moment, a woman's voice was heard. "Young Master Yi, please take out the Heaven Secrets Compass. Perhaps there will be some clues."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. The person who spoke was Ji Shuiyan, who had come with Yi Yun.

Yi Yun's mind stirred as he took out the Heaven Secrets Compass. He noticed that there was a faint glow in the Heaven Secrets Compass that emitted a unique energy fluctuation.

Upon seeing this, Ji Shuiyan said, "Young Master Yi, if I'm not wrong, something must have happened at Sun Burial Sandsea. It's possible that the phenomenon has happened once again, allowing the Seven Star Dao Palace to pinpoint the general location. The reason why Liu Ruyi left is that she wants to seek the treasure."

Ji Shuiyan's suggestion made sense. Only the unknown treasure in Sun Burial Sandsea could possibly make Liu Ruyi hastily turn away and head for the Sun Burial Sandsea while ignoring the Clarity Pool Sword Sect.

"We cannot let them snatch it first," said Jian Buyi.

The phenomena that had occurred in Sun Burial Sandsea was only known to people as the birth of a unique treasure. But with the reactions of the Seven Star Dao Palace and the Heaven Secrets Chapter, one would likely think that it was quite a sensational treasure.

"There is a teleportation array that is connected to the external world 500,000 kilometers out. If we were to teleport the important disciples out of Clarity Pool Sword Sect, it might expose our position to the numerous array formation experts of the Seven Star Dao Palace outside. They might discover the energy fluctuations, so it's best that only one or two disciples are sent out. Also, it cannot be done too many times. Otherwise, the Seven Star Dao Palace might notice traces of clues."

Although Liu Ruyi had left, the Seven Star High Ambassadors also possessed exceptional combat strength. One or two might not be a threat but if four or five were to come, the Clarity Pool Sword Sect would be in trouble.

Jian Buyi believed that the Seven Star Dao Palace would not just up and abandon the Seven Star Gate Rupturing Array that they had begun setting up. With Liu Ruyi in retreat, there would be new Seven Star High Ambassadors coming. What’s more, the time until those reinforcements arrived would likely be very short. Their Clarity Pool Sword Sect was still facing grave danger.

"Junior Brother, you and I shall stay behind to preside over the array protecting us," said Jian Buyi. The Clarity Pool Sword Sect was, after all, their base. They could not risk it. If the Clarity Pool Sword Sect's ancient array was not watched over by Jian Buyi and Jian Wufeng, its strength would decrease greatly, increasing the risk of cracking.

With Jian Buyi and Jian Wufeng staying behind to defend the fort, the best candidate to head to Sun Burial Sandsea was Yi Yun.

The other disciples were inferior to Yi Yun. Indeed, there were even Clarity Pool Sword Sect Elders that could be weaker than Yi Yun.

However, Sun Burial Sandsea posed an extreme danger, even for Yi Yun. After all, his strength was much lower than monsters like Liu Ruyi.

"Yi Yun, if you were to go to Sun Burial Sandsea as you are now, you would be doomed if you meet the Seven Star Dao Palace. You have inherited the founding ancestor's heritage. I wonder if you know of the Star Transference Heaven Changing Book?"

Azure Yang Lord's Star Transference Heaven Changing Book was indeed something Yi Yun used before. Back when he slew Shentu Nantian and was the enemy of several Tian Yuan world family clans, he had used the Star Transference Heaven Changing Book to change his appearance, allowing him to leave the Great Empress mystic realm safely.

However, Yi Yun had later stopped cultivating in the Star Transference Heaven Changing Book, and it had been many years since he last used it.

"Yes. I have previously cultivated in it."

"That's good. I have a mask here called the Thousand Mask. It can only be used by one who cultivates in the Star Transference Heaven Changing Book. By wearing it, you should be able to conceal your true looks."

After Jian Wufeng said that, he took out a mask as thin as paper from his interspatial ring. When Yi Yun put it on, he recalled the cultivation technique of the Star Transference Heaven Changing Book. The mask transformed into a part of his skin when that happened.

Under such circumstances, even Jian Buyi and Jian Wufeng were unable to tell Yi Yun's true appearance with their perception.

"Perfect. I won't dare claim that the Seven Star Dao Palace Palatial Lord will be fooled, but for people at the Seven Star High Ambassador level, this mask will completely cover your appearance. Yi Yun, follow me. I'll bring you to the teleportation array!"

Jian Buyi nodded satisfactorily. He was well aware that the treasure in Sun Burial Sandsea was not something just anyone could obtain. Even if he sent Clarity Pool Sword Sect disciples like Jian Fenghong, it would amount to nothing. In order to obtain such supreme treasures, one needed sufficient divine providence. If not, ignoring the ability to obtain it, once it was obtained, it would only invite trouble. In a warrior's world, there was no lack of examples of people dying from the rare treasures they obtained due to a lack of providence shining its light on them. There were even some rare treasures that caused the death of so many people, they were deemed 'ominous items'.

…

Ji Shuiyan's guess was not wrong. Sun Burial Sandsea had indeed had an unexpected occurrence.

At that moment, a red beam of light shot into the sky from deep in Sun Burial Sandsea. It transformed into red clouds that seemed like a burning inferno. The fiery clouds spread out for millions of kilometers!

This sight was not only limited to Sun Burial Sandsea's vicinity. The dazzling red clouds were visible even to people in the cities a great distance from the Sun Burial Sandsea.

What was going on?

Many people did not know what had happened in Sun Burial Sandsea till they saw the magnificent phenomenon. Only then did they realize that something monumental had happened in Sun Burial Sandsea.

Meanwhile, in a dense forest hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from Sun Burial Sandsea, Yi Yun was ejected from a spatial storm after space warped.

The long-distance teleportation left Yi Yun somewhat dizzy.

He looked at his surroundings and silently remembered the location of the teleportation array. Following that, he looked up and saw the red clouds in the sky.

Was it that exaggerated?

Yi Yun faltered for a moment. Although he had guessed that something unexpected had happened in Sun Burial Sandsea, he never expected it to be of such immense scale.

From the looks of it, the expedition to Sun Burial Sandsea would attract even more people, and that would only stir up a bloody storm.

True Martial World - Chapter 1095: Two hours

"Why, does Xiaoshuang not catch your eye? Don't misunderstand. The Clarity Pool Sword Sect is not making you marry into our family. Xiaoshuang will be married to you, and if you wanted, you could take Xiaoshuang along with you and leave. However, Xiaoshuang is still the future sect master of Clarity Pool Sword Sect so all she would need to do is come back frequently. Why don't I give you two hours to consider? After all, marriage is a serious matter. It's only right to consider it properly," said Jian Buyi 'earnestly and patiently'.

Two hours?

Yi Yun was at a loss whether to laugh or to cry. The Deputy Palatial Lord of the Seven Star Dao Palace was outside and she had also given him two hours. Was the two hours that Jian Buyi set a coincidence?

Yi Yun suspected that Jian Buyi was truly an old sly fox. In this talk, he never threatened Yi Yun, nor did he wish to threaten him. But every word he said was a reminder that the Clarity Pool Sword Sect was still in a confrontation with the Seven Star Dao Palace, and that it had two hours to make a decision.

Honestly speaking, the terms that Jian Buyi had proposed could not even be considered terms. He was basically giving Yi Yun all the benefits. An innocent and adorable beauty given to him as a wife with no restrictions. Any normal man would agree to that.

Yi Yun was also not some esteemed monk who lived in celibacy. Naturally, he wasn’t opposed to what Jian Buyi had offered.

But at present, it was unknown whether Lin Xintong was alive or not. Yi Yun had zero clue regarding her whereabouts and, under such circumstances, he had no desire for another woman.

Yi Yun said, "Senior, you might not be aware, but when I first came to the 12 Empyrean Heavens, I was separated from my wife. I do not know if she's still alive or not, but I believe that she is and that she is somewhere out there looking for me. If I were to marry again, it would truly be a disservice to my wife."

Yi Yun spoke very reasonably, leaving Jian Buyi somewhat stunned. Although he was engaging in a tiny bit of scheming, he was not an unreasonable man. If he were to continue pressing Yi Yun under the current circumstances, he would truly be at fault.

"Furthermore, I find Junior Sister Xiaoshuang naive and innocent. Her personality is as pure as a white piece of paper. I doubt she knows what she likes or understands the true meaning behind becoming partners…"

Jian Xiaoshuang was peeved when she heard Yi Yun say that. She gritted her beautiful teeth and glared at Yi Yun like an enraged kitten.

"Uh…" Yi Yun rubbed his nose in embarrassment, unsure of a response.

Jian Xiaoshuang said unhappily, "Didn't you only marry once? Why do you speak as if you are much older than me? How are you so sure of what I know or don’t know? Furthermore, I have made a vow."

Jian Xiaoshuang's final sentence was very soft. She had vowed that the man that drew and fully stimulated the Clarity Pool Ancestral Sword would be her husband, otherwise she would remain single her entire life. To swordsmen, a vow was related to their Heart of the Sword and so was not something that could be wantonly changed.

"If that's the case, I think we should forget it, Senior Brother," Jian Wufeng interjected.

From the start, he felt that Jian Buyi's act was somewhat dishonorable. However, it was also tough for his disciple, for he understood her personality. Was it possible that she would remain single her whole life?

"If it's possible, why don't I recognize Xiaoshuang as my younger sister?" Yi Yun asked.

He knew very well that there was no fault in rejecting the proposal, but Jian Xiaoshuang was still a girl in the end. It was too embarrassing for her to be so flatly rejected.

Jian Xiaoshuang's face had a slight blush, but before she could say a word, Jian Buyi had already agreed to it.

"A younger sister would work too. That would work too. Hahaha."

Jian Buyi did not care if they were partners or siblings as long as they were related in some way. He believed that Yi Yun was a man of his word. If he became one of the strongest warriors in the 12 Empyrean Heavens, and if the Clarity Pool Sword Sect's sect master was his younger sister, wouldn't that guarantee that the sect would flourish for hundreds of millions of years?

Moreover, an unrelated sister and a lover were only separated by a thin layer of paper. Who knows when it might be penetrated!

With these thoughts in mind, Jian Buyi immediately agreed.

Jian Xiaoshuang's face was still red but Jian Buyi had already agreed on her behalf. Even if she had made a vow, she could no longer say a thing.

"Then, I'll call you Brother Yun." Jian Xiaoshuang said while clenching her teeth.

Yi Yun smiled slightly. Jian Xiaoshuang, who was as pure as snow, was extremely forthright. He was also very pleased that he would have such a younger sister.

As for Jian Buyi, he was beaming. "Then, that's great. Great!"

But at that moment, his smile stiffened slightly. He looked at Yi Yun and said, "Yi Yun, since you are Xiaoshuang's elder brother, come on out together."

Yi Yun did not know what had happened but he suspected that it had to do with the Seven Star Dao Palace.

Coming out from Azure Sword Loft, Yi Yun saw that Jian Fenghong and all the other Clarity Pool Sword Sect disciples were waiting in the front hall.

Upon seeing Jian Buyi, Jian Wufeng and company coming out, Jian Fenghong immediately walked forward and said, "Master, Sect Master, how can we deal with the Seven Star Dao Palace?"

Two hours had passed quickly. Many disciples, including Jian Fenghong, were worried. Surely not everyone was impervious to the possibility of the sect being wiped out? Furthermore, the instigator of this calamity was Yi Yun, an outsider. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Upon thinking of this, Jian Fenghong glanced at Yi Yun.

Yi Yun was exceptionally talented, but he had offended the Seven Star Dao Palace. The growth of a genius was destined to be difficult.

Jian Buyi looked at his disciple before sweeping his gaze over the disciples gathered. He said in a solemn voice, "Our Clarity Pool Sword Sect is particular about having a disposition that resembles a sword. Upright and unyielding. How can we succumb to the Seven Star Dao Palace just because it pressures us?"

"As for Yi Yun, he is now Xiaoshuang's sworn brother, and as such is equivalent to a disciple of our Clarity Pool Sword Sect. We never abandon a disciple and will seek revenge for any who are harmed. We must face adversity in one united front. So how can we hand Yi Yun over today?"

Jian Fenghong's heart palpitated as he hurriedly looked at Jian Xiaoshuang.

Jian Xiaoshuang had become Yi Yun's sworn sister?

Jian Fenghong knew that it was likely Jian Buyi and Jian Wufeng, as well as Jian Xiaoshuang's, idea. As for the so-called sworn sister, it was unlikely to be that simple.

Yi Yun's talent in the way of the sword was beyond excellent, at a level that he could never compare with. As he arrived at this conclusion, Jian Fenghong felt bitter.

Jian Buyi scanned the gathered disciples, many of whom were silent.

With Yi Yun becoming Jian Xiaoshuang's sworn brother, it meant that he could not be cast off from the Clarity Pool Sword Sect. How could they betray one of their own and abandon him?

"The Clarity Pool Sword Sect array isn't that easily broken. If the Seven Star Dao Palace wants to wipe us out, it will have to pay a heavy price!" Jian Wufeng said solemnly.

The only strategy they had now was to defend the fort!

At that moment, Jian Wufeng suddenly looked up into the sky.

With a thought, he struck out with a sword beam, opening up an array projection.

Liu Ruyi and the other figures from the Seven Star Dao Palace immediately appeared in the sky. At that moment in time, two hours had already passed.

Liu Ruyi had a sneer on her face as she circulated the Qi in her dantian. She said loudly and clearly, "It seems like you, the Clarity Pool Sword Sect, remain stubborn in the face of death. Fine, I'll grant you that!"
