Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 255 Bandits
Li Fan didn't expect that the topic would shift to him. He sat upright, sipping tea and listening quietly.

"Brother Yang, have you heard about this?" Tan Yue asked Li Fan.

"I've heard a little about it, but I don't know the details." Li Fanyun said calmly.

"It is said that this man is the descendant of the Sword Saint, and his master is Zuo Canglan. His alias is Zuo Tu, and he is also known as Lishan Sword Master. I would like to meet such a brilliant figure and see how outstanding he is." Tan Yue sighed.

Although he and Yan Qingmeng both have some backgrounds and are geniuses in the eyes of many people, they seem too insignificant when compared with Lishan Jianzi, the descendant of the Sword Saint.

"I heard that Zuo Tu is dressed in white and is very handsome. In this respect, he is somewhat similar to Young Master Yang." Yan Qingmeng said softly, staring at Li Fan with her beautiful eyes.

After taking a closer look, Yan Qingmeng discovered that Yang Qingshan was truly handsome. His eyes were like stars, deep and bright, giving people a sense of mystery, and his face looked more like a sculpture.

Before, their attention was on Lu Yuan and Yue Qingqiu, but now they realized that in terms of appearance, Li Fan and Lu Yuan sitting together were also very well matched, like a perfect couple.

Seeing Li Fan looking at her, Yan Qingmeng felt a little nervous and her eyes dodged and avoided him.

"Miss Yan has good taste." Li Fan praised jokingly, as if he was bragging himself.

Yan Qingmeng had no idea that her unintentional words actually hit the nail on the head.

Tan Yue, who was standing next to them, was stunned when he saw the two of them exchanging glances. He looked at the two of them. Was he redundant?

Yan Qingmeng turned around and glanced at Tan Yue indifferently, as if provoking him.

"Master Wenren is too modest. There is no need to say much about the name of Lishan. The Boundless Sword Saint is unrivaled and dominates an entire era. But is Zuotu really as outstanding as the rumors say? I'm afraid it's exaggerated. I don't think Master Wenren is necessarily worse than him."

Someone said this with a smile, but this was obviously flattery. Naturally, everyone could hear that Wen Renqiu's talent was very strong, but compared to Li Shan Jianzi, he was at least one level lower.

"Sword cultivators are powerful in attack. He is able to kill everyone on the Qingyun List. He is considered a representative of the young generation of sword cultivators. I can't compare to him." Wen Renqiu smiled and shook his head.

He looked towards Li Fan, then landed on Lu Yuan, and asked with a smile, "Have we met this girl before?"

Lu Yuan was stunned, looked up at the other person, and shook his head silently.

"No..." Wen Renqiu's eyes revealed a hint of thought.

"Would you like to invite the young lady to come over and sit for a while?" A young man next to Wen Ren Qiu said with a smile. He was a person traveling with him and a cultivator from a noble family in Yazhou City.

That woman was indeed very beautiful. Could it be that Wen Renqiu had some ideas about this?

"Then don't bother others." Wen Renqiu shook his head, not wanting to cause trouble.

Huang Xiong raised his eyes and glared at the person who spoke, with a hint of hostility in his eyes. This young man was so rude. He asked Lu Yuan to come over and sit down?

The young man seemed to notice Huang Xiong's gaze and smiled indifferently, as if he didn't care at all.

Li Fan glanced at Huang Xiong, and seeing Li Fan's eyes, Huang Xiong suppressed his anger and did not speak.

"Chi Yu, he's from the Chi family in Yazhou City, and he's a relative of the Yazhou governor." Tan Yue leaned forward and whispered to Li Fan in a low voice. He didn't want to say more, after all, the other party was not far away, and he believed that Li Fan would understand.

Li Fan took a sip of the wine glass and a smile appeared in his eyes when he lowered his head.

From the information he got, the cultivators in Yazhou City are quite powerful, especially the top forces. The governor of Yazhou City is a Qi-cultivator at the sixth level. Presumably, the top families in Yazhou City also have strong people at this level.

Looking at Dali, the Six Realms forces are actually a watershed, and can be regarded as entering the ranks of the upper forces.

It’s just that because he came from Lishan, the people and forces he met couldn’t be judged by common sense.

At this time, someone else walked into the hall, and someone bowed and said, "Mr. Sun."

The man who came was a middle-aged man with a knife on his back. He was tall and walked with the gait of a dragon or a tiger. Many people greeted him.

"Senior Sun." Wen Renqiu also bowed and called out.

"Young Master Wenren." Sun Zhao responded. He walked to a place and sat down. Yan Qingmeng called out to him, "Uncle Sun."

Sun Zhao looked over here and saw Yan Qingmeng smiling. He said, "Xiaomeng is here too."

"Senior Sun, my name is Tan Yue." Tan Yue stood up and bowed, then raised his glass from a distance.

Sun Zhao nodded, raised his glass and drank a glass as a response.

Tan Yue sat down and introduced Li Fan: "Senior Sun is a cultivator in the Condensation Realm. He also has a good swordsmanship and is quite famous in Yazhou City."

"Uncle Sun and my father are good friends. Now that we are traveling together, he can take care of him." Yan Qingmeng also said.

Li Fan nodded. A cultivator in the Condensation Realm was already a great cultivator in the city.

Unconsciously, he has entered the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. This time he is going to Xihai Island City to strive to break through to the Core Condensation Realm.

After three rounds of drinks, the hall became more and more lively. The wanderers drank and chatted, and it was easy for them to get to know each other. Soon they formed groups of three or five and had a great time chatting.

"I'm going out to get some fresh air." Lu Yuan said softly, and walked out alone.

Li Fan looked up at Lu Yuan. He felt as if Lu Yuan had been worried since she got on the boat.

Huang Xiong looked at Li Fan.

"What are you looking at me doing?" Li Fan asked.

"Aren't you going?" Huang Xiong asked, staring at him with his big eyes.

Li Fan: “?” “Okay.” Li Fan stood up and walked out.

It was already evening and the sea breeze was blowing, bringing a cool feeling.

Lu Yuan leaned against the railing, gazing into the distance, her long black hair dancing in the wind.

Li Fan walked to Lu Yuan, turned his head to look at her, and whispered, "Are you worried about something?"

Lu Yuan shook her head.

"I've never seen you like this before." Li Fan said, and Lu Yuan quietly looked out at the vast ocean.

Seeing that she didn't seem to want to say more, Li Fan stood quietly beside her.

"It seems like you have never mentioned your background." After a moment of silence, Li Fan said softly.

Lu Yuan was stunned, looked at him, and said softly: "You didn't ask either."

"I'm asking now." Li Fan said with a smile.

"But I don't want to tell you now." Lu Yuan said.

Li Fan: "..."

"Lu Yuan, you're going too far."

Lu Yuan smiled, and a beautiful woman's smile is truly pleasing to the eye.

Lu Yuan seemed to notice that Li Fan was looking at her, and couldn't help but ask: "What are you looking at?"

"Then tell me when you want to tell me." Li Fan said.

Lu Yuan seemed to think about it, then nodded: "Okay."

Li Fan had heard from his senior sister that Lu Yuan also had an extraordinary life experience before she went up the mountain. At that time, he and Lu Yuan were not familiar with each other and had only met a few times. It was not even a matter of knowing each other, so naturally he did not care about this matter.

But now, he wanted to know.

When Lu Yuan came to West Sea, she seemed to be worried. Could it be related to her life experience?

"I'm fine." Lu Yuan suddenly turned around and looked at Li Fan.

"Ah?" Li Fan looked at her in confusion.

"I'm in a better mood, Yang Qingshan." Lu Yuan said as he walked back, and Li Fan followed in surprise.

Women are so complicated!

Why didn’t I notice it before?
Maybe he just didn't care before?

Apart from his senior sister, Lu Yuan is the woman Li Fan has had contact with for the longest time. His senior sister has always been taking care of him, but Lu Yuan is of the same generation.

The two returned to the hall, and Huang Xiong showed an admiring expression to Li Fan, saying, "Awesome."

Li Fan glared at him.

Why is this guy so smart?
"Step aside……"

At this time, a cold shout made the hall quiet for a moment. Everyone looked over and saw a cultivator in the corridor staring at the figure in front of him and said, "Humpback, I told you to get out of the way, did you hear me?"

"The old man's hearing is not very good." The hunchback still stood there blocking the way.

"Are you kidding me?" the man shouted angrily, and under the influence of alcohol, he raised his hand and grabbed the hunchback. His palm landed on the hunchback's shoulder and grabbed him hard, trying to lift him up, but he didn't move at all.

"Ok?"

He was stunned for a moment, then groaned, looked down, and saw that his abdomen was pierced directly.

"You..." He sobered up instantly, a feeling of fear spread throughout his body, his eyes fixed on the hunchback, and then his body fell down.

The people around suddenly became quiet. Everyone sobered up and stared at the scene in front of them.

"It's just a verbal dispute, there's no need to be so decisive, right?" someone frowned.

"Pfft..."

As soon as he finished speaking, his head flew up and blood splattered. Behind him, a man stood up with a look of cruelty in his eyes.

People were seen standing up one after another in different directions, and the people around them understood what was going on.

This is, we encountered bandits, someone has set their sights on this ship.

Li Fan raised his head and glanced at Yan Qingmeng who was not far away. What she said was actually right... the danger might also come from inside the ship.

There was a hint of panic in Yan Qingmeng's eyes. Although such things would happen, they were relatively rare. She didn't expect to encounter it.

Moreover, once something like this happens, the other party will most likely try to silence you. If you are not sure, you won’t dare to do so.

Many people looked at Wen Ren Qiu, as if they regarded him as a savior. The young master of the prefecture had arrived, and among his companions there were many powerful Qigong practitioners, and there must also be people who had practiced in the Nascent Soul stage.

Perhaps, we can protect this ship?
