Imperial Sword Manor.
Outside the gate, after teaching the three sisters of the Three Flowers Workshop a lesson, Yi Jifeng saw that it was getting late and did not continue to stroll around. He quickly arrived here.
Unlike Mingjian Manor, which was located in the outskirts of the city, Imperial Sword Manor was located in the inner city of Azure Dragon County. It was just beside the edge of the city, and behind the manor was the forest outside the city.
When Yi Jifeng arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Sword Manor.
The guards at the door saw Yi Jifeng's luxurious clothes and extraordinary bearing, and did not dare to underestimate him.
One of them stepped forward and said respectfully,"
"May I ask your name, and why have you come to the Imperial Sword Manor?”
When Yi Jifeng saw the guards at the door all wearing armor, their bodies strong and imposing, he also praised in his heart,"
"As expected of the Iron Guards of the Imperial Sword Manor, they are indeed extraordinary.”
Compared to the current desolate Mingjian Manor, the Imperial Sword Manor was much more powerful.
The Iron Guards in the manor were all carefully selected from the loyal and honest disciples who had been indebted to the Imperial Sword Manor for generations.
Each of the Iron Guards was provided with a large amount of resources by the Imperial Sword Manor to practice the Brutal External Technique.
Each of them was equipped with steel armor that covered their entire bodies, various sharp and long weapons, and even bows. They were completely armed to the teeth.
According to Yi Jifeng's understanding, the Imperial Sword Manor had always kept thousands of such guards for a long time. If anyone left, they would be replaced immediately.
If the thousand strong Iron Guards were to be dragged into the battlefield, they would be able to fight against ten or even dozens of elite soldiers from various countries. They would not be at a disadvantage even if they fought against tens of thousands of elite soldiers.
The strength of this force was something that even Mingjian Manor did not possess in its heyday.
It could only be said that he had the support of a powerful figure like Yin Zhong.
The Imperial Sword Manor, which had never experienced a so-called low point in the past hundreds of years, had built up a rich family background that far exceeded the imagination of ordinary martial arts aristocratic families.
Its potential power was probably comparable to the top forces in the martial arts world, such as Shaolin and Wudang.
Only the members of the Yin Clan had the bloodline of the Tong Clan.
Due to the influence of their bloodline, the Yin Clan had always been a kind-hearted person. They didn't have too many ambitions or desires. Otherwise, they would have been able to dominate the world.
Many thoughts flashed through Yi Jifeng's mind, but he remained calm on the surface.
"Please inform your manor master that Yi Jifeng from Mingjian Manor is here.”
The guard who went forward heard this and his eyes moved slightly.
He was a small leader in the Iron Guards and knew more.
He had heard of Mingjian Manor and knew that Mingjian Manor and Imperial Sword Manor had a good relationship. His Manor Master would personally visit them once or twice a year.
Therefore, he did not dare to be negligent and respectfully cupped his hands.
"So it's an esteemed guest of Mingjian Peak. Please wait a moment, I'll immediately go report to the manor lord.”
Yi Jifeng nodded with a gentle expression as a response.
Then, the guard leader walked into the manor and went to report.
Not long after, the guard leader returned to the door, followed by a man who looked to be in his forties.
The moment the man stepped out, he said to Yi Jifeng enthusiastically,"
"I am Li Yong, the steward of the Imperial Sword Manor. The two manor masters are already waiting in the hall. Please follow me in, Young Manor Master Yi.”
This Li Yong was Yi Jifeng's 'acquaintance' as well. In the plot, he was Yin Tianchou's uncle, who had adopted Yin Tianchou for the current generation's second manor master of the Imperial Sword Manor.
"Thank you, Butler Li."
Yi Jifeng replied with a smile.
Li Yong quickly said,
"I don't dare to thank you. This is what I should do.”
After saying that, Li Yong led the way and brought Yi Jifeng into the manor.
It was Yi Jifeng's first time coming to the Imperial Sword Manor, so he was also somewhat curious. As he walked, he observed his surroundings.
It was obvious that the various decorations in the Imperial Sword Manor were much better than those in Mingjian Manor. Yi Jifeng could not help but secretly praise them.
Not long after, Yi Jifeng followed Li Yong to the square in front of the main hall of the Imperial Sword Manor.
However, before Yi Jifeng could enter the main hall, a figure suddenly ran out from the side.
The person directly shouted,
"Haha, Brother Yi, you're here. Take this!”
As he spoke, he drew his sword and attacked.
In fact, this person was Yin Tianqi.
He had just happened to hear the discussion of the servants in the manor and learned that Yi Jifeng had come to visit. Thus, he had rushed over in a hurry, wanting to fight Yi Jifeng again.
Of course, this was not to harm Yi Jifeng or anything.
It was more of a spar to test Yi Jifeng's current strength.
Seeing this, Yi Jifeng was not annoyed. He chuckled and teased,
"Again. Brother Yin has fought with me several times over the years, why are you still not admitting defeat?”
In fact, Yi Jifeng and Yin Tianqi had fought more than once five years ago.
Although Yi Jifeng did not leave Mingjian Manor much these years, he only focused on cultivating and improving himself in his own manor.
However, Yin Hao would visit Mingjian Manor once or twice every year.
Even though Yin Hao did not bring his son and daughter to visit them like the first time, most of the time, Yin Tianxue was just missing.
Yin Tianqi had followed Yin Hao many times over the years.
Every time they came, Yin Tianqi, who had once lost to Yi Jifeng, would challenge Yi Jifeng again.
Unfortunately, he had lost every battle and had never won a single one.
It wasn't that Yin Tianqi hadn't improved over the years.
On the contrary, with the stimulation of Yi Jifeng, a peer of the same age, coupled with the encouragement of Yin Hao, Yin Tianqi's strength had improved quite a bit over the years.
Presently, Yin Tianqi had already broken through to the Connate Boundless Realm and reached the level of a first-rate expert.
Moreover, the ultimate sword technique of the Imperial Sword Manor that he cultivated had already reached the great success realm.
His strength was definitely several times stronger than five years ago.
It was just a pity that Yi Jifeng's improvement was even faster than his.
Not only did the gap between the two of them not close, but the gap was getting bigger and bigger.
