Just as the school was in the midst of bustling preparations for the combat test.
High in the sky, above the layers of clouds, a white-clothed figure sat cross-legged, looking down with his head lowered as a purple intent swirled within his eyes, his gaze appearing to penetrate through the cloud cover.
He was a Dao Integration stage cultivator of the Supreme Dao Sect—True Lord Zihuan.
True Person Xiaoning had already left Xuanjian City yesterday, but True Lord Zihuan did not intend to leave.
A long time had passed since the incident, but even until now, he still remembered that earth-shattering sword strike; that Dao Integration sword cultivator who had killed a person did not flee after performing a series of actions, but instead carried Yu'er's head and questioned several Dao Integration cultivators who had rushed to the scene right before the eyes of the public.
At that time, he was merely at the Void-Returning stage and could only watch helplessly as that Dao Integration sword cultivator departed.
Later, he had finally managed to ascend to the Dao Integration stage and originally wanted to challenge him, yet when he truly met him, his heart was so filled with terror that he could not even voice the two words 'challenge.'
A heart demon.
At that moment, he understood that he was trapped by a heart demon, and if he did not break through it, he would likely be halted at the Dao Integration stage for the rest of his life with no possibility of further progress.
Everyone within the sect thought he wanted revenge, but only he himself knew that everything he did was merely for the sake of breaking his heart demon.
True Lord Zihuan's expression was indifferent, but his thoughts wavered and surged.
The Sword Sect was overbearing and showed no consideration for the face of the Supreme Dao Sect at all; the Ancestor was clearly a peak existence of the Great Profound Realm just like that Sword Venerable, yet he yielded at every turn, which was truly far too weak.
Even the disciples within the sect had gone off to engage in some kind of 'steady-style cultivation,' which was simply unreasonable!
However, that Dao Integration sword cultivator's sword arts were earth-shattering, and his combat strength was so powerful it was simply despair-inducing; he himself... was not a match, and could only think of ways to resolve it from other areas.
That Sword Sect cultivator who had emerged from seclusion was one such attempt; although he had severed one hand of a Dao Integration old devil, he had still allowed him to escape, and judging from this point alone, even if that person was at the Dao Integration stage, it was impossible for him to be too formidable.
Therefore, he had come here early to observe.
The combat test being held today was considered the largest activity held in Xuanjian City in recent times.
According to past patterns, ancient cultivators who emerged from seclusion would generally hide themselves and slowly come to understand this world that had become very different, and because their own realms were profound, they also liked to gather in crowded places.
Therefore, it was very likely that the Sword Sect cultivator who had emerged from seclusion would appear here.
............
At this time, not far outside the school, there was a barbecue shop.
Because it was still early, there were not many people in the shop, and those who were there mostly ordered things like kidneys and oysters.
The owner was a middle-aged man with a cultivation at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, possessing a body of rippling muscles and looking extremely strong, clearly being the most authentic kind of body cultivator.
These youngsters, coming to eat these things so early in the morning, really do not know how to cherish their bodies.
He lamented in his heart while skillfully sprinkling various spices.
Roar!
One could see a flying sword glowing with various colors descending, and the person riding the sword was a thin, yellow-haired youth with deep-set eye sockets, looking as if he had no energy.
Because the commotion was too great, many people looked over.
Among them was Xu Xing, who was buying buns in front of the bun shop next door.
He had come outside the school early in the morning, and his goal was naturally that 'Basic Extraction Method' created by the Sheng Huang Abyss, and incidentally, he could also take a look at Zhang Yunlu's performance.
"Boss, give me ten skewers of kidneys!"
While the yellow-haired youth spoke, he took out a medicine bottle and poured a few pills into his mouth.
Qi-Nourishing and Body-Sustaining Pills; this was a type of pill that did not even have a grade, and as for its efficacy... those who understood, understood.
"Coming right up!"
The owner took two massive kidneys from the side and skillfully carved them open.
"I thank the handsome guy for taking care of my business; I'll give you two skewers for free later."
He opened the shop to make money, so he naturally would not drive away business that came to his door.
Furthermore, looking at this young man's appearance, perhaps he could be developed into a long-term customer.
"Thanks, boss."
Perhaps he truly was a bit depleted, as the yellow-haired youth waved his hand and prepared to find a seat to the side to sit down and rest.
Right at this moment, a girl who looked to be around twenty years old, with a pretty face, a graceful figure, and wearing a light gray camisole and hot pants, also descended on a flying sword.
The yellow-haired youth, who was just about to leave, stopped again.
"Dad!"
The girl called out sweetly.
Eh?
The yellow-haired youth scratched his head; it wasn't appropriate to play this kind of game out in public, was it?
However, in the next moment, he heard a sound of acknowledgment.
"..."
The barbecue shop owner was her father?!
The yellow-haired youth was dazed, and looking at the barbecue shop owner's body of rippling muscles, his heart and liver trembled a bit.
"Let me introduce him, this is my boyfriend."
The girl pointed toward the yellow-haired youth who was currently backing away.
"Oh."
The busy barbecue shop owner nodded, but in the next instant he reacted and violently turned his head!
The two of them stared at each other for quite a while.
The barbecue shop owner looked at his daughter with a smile, but that smile appeared somewhat ferocious, and the veins on his forehead were bulging.
"He is your boyfriend?"
"That's right."
"I'll ***!"
The barbecue shop owner's eyes turned red, and his large, fan-like hands directly grabbed toward the yellow-haired youth.
The youth was so terrified his liver and gallbladder were nearly split, and he stepped onto his flying sword to flee, but in the end, he was seized by the collar and dragged down with a single pull.
The yellow-haired youth was only a Pseudo-Foundation cultivator, and facing an authentic body cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment, he did not have even a trace of the power to resist, being held up like a little chick.
"Speak quickly! Did she go to a hotel with you yesterday!"
"No, I didn't..."
"That's right, Dad, wasn't I in my own room the whole time yesterday?"
Hearing this, the barbecue shop owner's rationality finally recovered a bit, and he set the yellow-haired youth down.
"Get lost quickly!"
The yellow-haired youth scrambled and crawled, about to flee.
"Wait a moment! Where did you sleep yesterday?"
"...Her room."
The barbecue shop owner's entire face flushed bright red, and strands of scarlet qi and blood phantoms appeared around his body; no old father could endure such a thing!
"Don't be excited, Dad, he's actually very good."
The yellow-haired youth was almost in tears; my dear lady, could you please stop adding fuel to the fire?
"Good? How good could he be!"
These words were practically squeezed out from between his teeth.
"His essence and desires are very good."
Eh???
"Ah?"
Not to mention the person involved, even the onlookers were dazed.
There was actually a reversal!
"I have joined the Hehuan Sect, and besides, he didn't actually touch me; everything he saw was just illusion magic."
"You lied to me?!"
The yellow-haired youth spoke in disbelief.
"I didn't lie to you; didn't I tell you about it, and you agreed as well?"
Yellow-haired youth: "..."
It turned out it wasn't that he had coaxed her, but rather that she had coaxed him.
The scarlet qi and blood phantoms dissipated.
The expressions of the barbecue shop owner and the yellow-haired youth were somewhat complicated.
For a time, the atmosphere became a bit awkward; in this situation, just who was the one who had suffered a loss?
"Get inside! We must make things clear today!"
Facing the barbecue shop owner, whose residual anger had not yet dissipated, the yellow-haired youth did not dare to run; after picking up his flying sword that had fallen to the side, he followed into the barbecue shop.
Soon, the shop door was closed.
"Tsk tsk! The world today truly is something."
The owner of the bun shop lamented.
Xu Xing carried his buns, also feeling that everything that had just happened was quite interesting.
He had not expected to see such a good show today; the cultivation version of a yellow-hair, who caused headaches for many old fathers, had finally met his natural enemy this time.
Immediately after, he carried his buns and walked toward the school, and the onlookers also dispersed one after another.
Now that the fun had been watched, it was time to go and see that technique from the Sheng Huang Abyss.
