Another cycle, another spring and autumn. Time passed, and the sun and moon changed. A total of eight years passed.
The Ghost Valley was a place of freedom, a place of freedom. There were too many joys, sorrows, and sorrows here that people could not forget.
In the morning, he would dance upon hearing the rooster, and at night, he would persevere for nearly 3,000 days and nights. Only with such persistence and hard work could he achieve what he had today.
In the Ghost Valley, success meant leaving, and it meant going unhindered. Four years ago, Ge Nia had left with such composure. Three years ago, Wei Zhuang had left with such pride. Today, Yan Hong was leaving. He had let go of his worries, abandoned his reluctance, and left with such ease.
A wanderer was like a rootless duckweed. Now that his studies had been successful, Yan Hong only wanted to return to his hometown in his memories and reunite with his loved ones. He wore black clothes, a thin horse, a long sword, and nothing else. He traveled through the night and the stars just for the longing in his heart, just for the words " the wind blows and the water changes." He wanted to change and stop it. Even though he knew it was useless, he still wanted to try his best. He only wanted to not have any regrets when he remembered it in the future. Because he had worked hard, that was enough.
A month later, Ji City was right in front of them. They led their horses and carried their swords as they strolled aimlessly in the city. Since they entered Ji City, several groups of spies had followed them. After all, there were not many experts in the Minute Subtlety realm in the six countries of the east of the country. Above the Minute Subtlety realm was the Edgeless Realm. Many martial artists stayed in the Minute Subtlety realm for their entire lives and could not advance any further. The Edgeless Realm was the last hurdle to step into the door of martial arts. They had to completely integrate their moves and internal energy. Not every martial artist could achieve the Return to True Realm. The slightest carelessness could cause all of their meridians to be severed.
At this moment, Yan Hong was not in a hurry to enter the Imperial City. He believed that during this period of time, many people already knew that he had returned, including his relatives and his enemies. It was almost noon, and he was slightly hungry. When he came to a wine shop, a clever waiter naturally came forward and humbly asked," Sir, would you like to wait for a meal or stay in the hotel?"”
"I want a window seat.”
"Alright. Please follow me.”
"Four plates of cold dishes, four plates of hot dishes, and a jug of strong wine.”
" Alright. Thank you, Young Master." Seeing Yan Hong's generosity, the attendant became even more humble and his mouth was almost at the back of Lie Dao's head.
Money can make the world go round. With that reward, the food and wine were quickly placed on the table. The tavern was noisy, but Yan Hong was enjoying his wine. He knew that the game was about to begin.
Sure enough, after only an hour, there was movement. The leftovers had been removed, leaving only a pot of good wine.
" Ta-ta-ta." Someone had already gone upstairs. There was more than one person, but more than twenty people.
"Those who have nothing to do with it, leave quickly. Today, this shop has been reserved.”The chief hanger-on of Yan Chunjun's residence, Shadowless, was a macheteman. He was good at using dual sabers and his movements were like the wind. He came and went without a trace. Just like his name, Shadowless started following Yan Chunjun fifteen years ago. Loyal and trusted by Yan Chunjun, he ran amok in Ji City.
Everyone had left. After all, everyone in Ji City knew about Vanishing Shadow. There were only three people left on the second floor. One was a white-robed swordsman, one was a gray-robed swordsman, and one was a black-robed swordsman. The three of them looked at each other, smiled, and raised their hands to toast from afar.
Shadowless glanced at the three of them. The white-robed swordsman was calm, the black-robed swordsman was free and easy, and the gray-robed swordsman was light and agile. He knew that the three of them were tough opponents, but he could not lose face as the number one expert of Lord Yan Chun's residence. Therefore, a dense killing intent began to emit and slowly pressed on the three of them. Suddenly, the entire second floor shook slightly. The gray-robed swordsman and the white-robed swordsman sat at the same table, but at this time, the strength of the two was obvious. Wherever the killing intent passed, the ground under the white-robed swordsman's feet cracked inch by inch. The grey-robed swordsman's sleeves fluttered in the wind. As for Yan Hong, who was dressed in black, he was still drinking casually as if nothing had happened. In an instant, the winner was determined. The swordsmen in white and grey looked at Yan Hong with respect and caution.
Shadowless witnessed the whole scene, and his pupils shrank. It seemed that he couldn't let things go peacefully today. However, in order to verify whether the black-robed swordsman was that person or not, he had to bite the bullet. So Shadowless glanced at the three people coldly." The three of you don't want to give me any face. You should know that offending me in Ji City is equivalent to offending Yan Chunjun's residence." His tone was sinister and threatening.
"Lord Yan Chun's residence? What a big name. If Yan Chunjun were to come personally, we would naturally be afraid. Unfortunately, you're just Yan Chunjun's dog.”The words of the grey-robed swordsman were full of mockery. Seeing this, Yan Hong nodded secretly. The grey-robed swordsman would use the situation to include all three of them with a single " we ". Now, it would be difficult for Yan Hong to escape even if he wanted to. However, Yan Hong would be afraid. Of course not.
"Good, good, good. Since the three of you insist on doing this, then you can't blame me. Go and cripple them.”With a wave of his hand, more than 20 people charged forward and slashed at the three of them with their shiny steel sabers.
" Whoosh!" With a soft sound, he drew his sword. Silver light flashed, and ten of Yan Chunjun's henchmen who had surrounded Yan Hong fell to the ground instantly. In the blink of an eye, everything returned to silence. They did not move, nor did they move their swords. They were still sitting by the window and drinking alone. There was no trace of a fight, but in an instant, they had taken ten lives. After the blood was gone, they slashed their throats with their swords. It was indescribable ease!
" Good-" Ten people fell to the ground. The swordsman in grey only saw a shadow, and the swordsman in white did not see how Yan Hong attacked. However, the two of them still cheered for Yan Hong. After all, the three of them were now on the same side. At the same time, they also had the heart to befriend him. The strong were always respected.
"Clang!""Clang!"
The long swords were unsheathed like two dragons out to sea. One grey and one white, two figures shuttled between the other dozen people. Occasionally, the hanger-ons would fall to the ground. Shadowless saw that the situation had taken a turn for the worse and was anxious. If these twenty hanger-ons died here, not only would he not be able to complete the mission, but he would also be punished by Yan Chunjun. Seeing Yan Hong drinking by himself, he turned his hand and grabbed the four poison darts. He found an opportunity to attack the two swordsmen in grey. No one noticed that the wine glass in Yan Hong's hand paused for a moment.
" Whoosh!" Four soft sounds rang out. Shadowless saw the gap and threw four darts at the two swordsmen like a snake spitting out almonds. Feeling a cold light coming from behind him, the swordsman in grey felt goosebumps all over his body. It was too late for him to dodge. Seeing the critical situation, the swordsman in white opened his eyes wide. At the critical moment, a silver light flashed and four darts fell." Dang!"
The grey-robed swordsman turned around and grabbed the silver light with his long arms. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a cup of fine wine! This was the wine cup that blocked the four darts. The gray-robed swordsman picked up the wine cup and drank it in one gulp." Good wine-30 years of blood of a man and a woman. It was personally brewed by the world's best winemaker, Shangguan Wan 'er. This wine was not produced in this wine shop, but poured out from the wine bag on Yan Hong's waist. Speaking of brewing this strong wine, of course, Yan Hong used the method he saw in his previous life to make it. After the establishment of the Traceless Manor, Yan Hong handed the method of brewing wine to his subordinates and soon produced results. It can be said that there are many varieties. The blood of a man was one of them. As for who Shangguan Wan 'er was, that would be mentioned later.
Fine wine for the hero. In that moment, Yan Hong resolved a crisis and gave the grey-robed swordsman a cup of fine wine." Since it's fine wine, then the two brothers can continue drinking..."
The white-robed swordsman threw the wine bag up and took the opportunity to catch the wine bag and drink it heartily. He praised loudly," Good--the taste is mellow, and it makes one's blood boil. The name of male blood is indeed well-deserved. Big Brother, take it--"
"Good-drink good wine, become brothers, kill bandits, it's great, it's great. Today, after drinking brother's wine, we will be friends from now on.”Compared to the white-robed swordsman's indifference, the grey-robed swordsman was more forthright and magnanimous. He had an air of heroism that made people submit to him.”
With a loud roar, a shadow flashed by, and one of Yan Chunjun's henchmen fell to the ground." I am Zhao Huan from Handan. May I know your surnames?"
"Jing Ke-""Gao Jianli-"
"So it's the Five Steps Absolute Killing Sword, Jing Ke and the Gentleman Sword, Gao Jianli. Today, I'm very fortunate to be able to fight alongside the two of you.”
"Brother's sword skills are superb, the two of us admire you..."
Clang! The sword was drawn, followed by a murderous aura." The three of you go to hell and have a chat!”
" The light of a grain of rice dares to compete with the bright moon. You overestimate yourself..."
Clang! The sword shadow flashed, and Dragon Spring was already on Shadowless 'neck.
Clang! He felt so good that he landed on the ground. His hair stood on end. For the first time in his life, he was so close to death.
"What-what-are you doing? If you kill me, Yan Chunjun, I won't let you off. If you offend Yan Chunjun in the Yan Country, you will only die!”His tone was still tough, but the three swordsmen could hear the fear in Shadowless 'heart.
Smiling, the blade gently cut a bloody mark on Shadowless 'neck." How is it? Do you still think I won't dare to kill you? Um-"
The shadow of death in his mind became more and more intense, and the fear in his heart continued to spread. A drop of cold sweat dripped down his forehead, and his brows were already knotted. He was just holding his breath and unwilling to give in.
" Ah--" This time, Yan Hong did not hold back. He raised his hand and swung his sword down. A bloody finger soared into the sky." Do you want to try again?" You'll lose a finger in this strike, an arm in the next strike, and your life in the third strike, hmm?”
Suddenly, a guest knelt on the ground and said firmly," Young master, Master Jueying has offended you, but he is the number one swordsman in front of Yan Chunjun. If young master kills Master Jueying now, you will definitely be hunted down by the ruler. This humble one dares to ask young master to be magnanimous and let Master Jueying go. Today, the three of you are not injured and we will compensate young master with a hundred gold. How about this?"”Although it was a request, it was neither servile nor overbearing. Yan Hong couldn't help but nod secretly.
" Plop!" With someone taking the lead, the rest of the people also knelt down and begged. Shadowless looked at his brothers who were all kneeling on the ground. Suddenly, a decisive heroic spirit rose in his heart. He gritted his teeth and said," You don't have to talk nonsense. My skills are inferior to others. If you want to kill me or cut me up, it's up to you. There's no need to pretend here.”
He smiled." Today, you have a group of brothers who are kind and loyal to you. You have some backbone. Go back!" Tell Yan Chunjun not to provoke me…"
"Thank you, Young Master.”Before Vanishing Shadow could answer, he was pulled out by Yan Chunjun's henchman.
"Wait-"
"Is there anything else, Young Master?" The first guest who pleaded for Vanishing Shadow asked in fear.
"What's your name?" He pointed at the guest and asked.
"Young Master, I am Li Gang!”
"Alright! You can go back!"
The farce ended just like that. Yan Hong also met Jing Ke and Gao Jianli by chance. He believed that Yan Chunjun had also confirmed his identity. After all, Longquan was too dazzling. It was impossible for Yan Chunjun to not know about Guigu 'zi's gift of the sword. The only thing left was to adapt to the situation and let nature take its course.
