A mere thirty thousand taels of silver and they wanted his head. These underworld families were looking down on him too much.
"Young Master, do you think this soul-chasing sword is really as powerful as the legends say?”
Qiulan's big eyes were filled with curiosity.
"There should be."
The corners of his mouth curled up.”
"By the way, how's the internal cultivation method and martial arts that I taught you?”
"My sister and I cultivate every day when we have time," said Qiulan.”
She got up from the wooden bucket and put on her clothes. Cuizhu had already prepared breakfast.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, he went to Luoyang City for a stroll. Just as the sisters had said, there were notices everywhere about the Soul Chasing Sword.
The streets were filled with people from the pugilistic world, all equipped with swords and sabers. The things they were talking about were also related to the underworld's killing order.
A bunch of money-grubber guys who didn't know how much they were worth.
With their martial arts skills, it would be suicidal for them to get 30,000 taels of silver.
A few days later, the underworld's killing order issued by the three major families spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, and the bounty increased to 40,000 taels.
The experts of the black and white sects were all out looking for the Soul Chasing Sword.
however
A month passed
There was still no clue. Instead, several large-scale killings broke out in the underworld.
Those forces that were originally unconvinced of the three families had joined forces and taken advantage of this golden opportunity to stab them in the back.
Finally, under the mediation of the Six Fan School, both sides gave up. The price was that the three families had a piece of their territory.
The Zhang, Wang, and Li families could be said to hate Lin Xuan to the bone. If not for this guy who suddenly appeared and destroyed 18 sects under them.
If the three great clans 'strength had been greatly reduced, they would not have fallen to such a state.
unfortunately
It was as if the Soul Chasing Sword had disappeared from the martial world. No matter how hard they searched, they could not find any clues.
The chaos of the martial world had nothing to do with Lin Xuan.
Every day, he would diligently cultivate martial arts and teach Qiulan and Cuizhu.
It just so happened that the restaurant in Qixia Town was still lacking manpower.
After the experiential learning, he planned to bring the two girls back to Qixia Town and renovate the restaurant.
They were proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. They also knew how to cook and do accounts. They even did not have to pay for the chef.
Qiulan and Cuizhu had also done well. They had cultivated Genuine Qi for only a few months, and they had also mastered external techniques such as sword and palm techniques.
in the blink of an eye
Winter passed and spring arrived.
The first Lantern Festival in this world was not lonely.
The grass grew and the orioles flew in February. The spring breeze blew, and the snow in the mountains melted. The weather became warmer.
The haze dissipated, and a blazing sun hung in the sky. Bathed in the sunlight, his entire body felt warm.
There were fewer people in the Jianghu in Luoyang, and most of them had forgotten about the underworld killing order.
The nickname of the soul-chasing sword, which was full of murderous intent, also began to become a short-lived legend.
In the courtyard, two beautiful figures were fighting. Their swords were fighting, and their skirts were flying, like butterflies in a flower.
His steps were exquisite and his swordsmanship was meticulous. The combination of the two made him look like a famous sect.
The people who fought were Lin Xuan's maidservants, Qiulan and Cuizhu. One wore a green dress and the other wore a pink dress.
After exchanging seventy to eighty moves, beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads. Qiulan shouted, and the long sword in her hand vibrated, stabbing into the sword energy of Cuizhu. She struck out nine times in a row, and the cold light dots broke through Cuizhu's transformation. She won by a narrow margin with one move.
"Not bad, not bad."
Lin Xuan stepped into the courtyard and sized them up before nodding slightly.
This sword technique was already very good. It advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, with strict rules and regulations, combining hardness and softness.
He said that he had taught them well, but it was also because the two girls were hardworking. What was commendable was that their internal strength had also progressed very quickly.
Qiulan was at Houtian ninth stage. She was only one step away from becoming a first-rate expert.
Cuizhu was also at Houtian eighth stage.
In the pugilistic world, she would be a heroine of her generation.
"Young Master, weren't you in seclusion?”
Qiulan said.
"But Young Master has already broken through?"
He shook his head and said,"I'm still half a step away. I can't really break the barrier."”
"Young Master, don't be anxious.”
Cuizhu comforted.
In the few months he lived in the courtyard of Luoyang, Lin Xuan completely ignored the matters of the martial world. He cultivated diligently every day, refining qi, comprehending swords, cultivating sabers, and polishing his internal and external skills.
Half a month ago, he had gained some enlightenment, so he went into seclusion to break through to the Grandmaster Realm. Unfortunately, his wish did not come true.
He had yet to reach the Zongshi realm, but he had surpassed the Xiantian peak and was now a Half-Zongshi.
In addition, he had mastered the Sword Drawing Technique, the Domineering Saber, as well as his fists, feet, palms, and legs, and the Golden Bell Shield.
He could even fight against ordinary grandmaster martial artists.
"It's such a pity to stay at home in such good weather.”
He chuckled.
"Young Master, are you going for a spring outing?”
Cuizhu revealed an eager expression.
"None of your business."
Lin Xuan glared at her, and this girl immediately shrank her neck.
"Stay here and cultivate your martial arts. I'm going to continue traveling the world.”
"Young Master, when are you coming back?”
Qiulan looked reluctant.
"At least half a year, at most a year.”
" I'll set a small goal for you." He raised his eyebrows." When I come back, you and your sister will all be in the super-first-class realm."”
"Young Master, don't worry. My sister and I will not disappoint you."
Qiulan nodded.
He instructed the two sisters many things. The next day, Lin Xuan carried the wooden box and rode out of Luoyang.
He wanted to use the pressure of the underworld experts to help him break through the last barrier of the Grandmaster Realm.
This was a risky move. The three families still had their bounty on him. Once he showed up, he would be surrounded and killed by many experts.
Among them were not only the underworld, but also the elites of the white path.
After all, money moved people. 40,000 taels of silver was an irresistible temptation for most people.
After leaving Luoyang, Lin Xuan headed for Kaifeng.
there
There was an important stronghold of the three families that he had carefully selected as bait.
three days later
A piece of news shook the martial arts world. The owner of the Six Harmonies Manor, Xiang Tianyun, had been killed by the Soul Chasing Sword.
Unlike the previous extermination cases, this time, Lin Xuan cut off Xiang Tianyun's head with a sword in front of everyone.
