This martial saint is too cautious.

At that moment, Lin Yan clearly sensed more than a dozen gazes falling on him.

There was surprise, scrutiny, and hostility, which put him under tremendous pressure.

Only when He Songzhao shifted his body slightly and stood in front of Lin Yan did the pressure dissipate by more than half.

He Songzhao released his aura, blocking all the pressure that these people were putting on Lin Yan.

Although he also wanted to take a closer look at Lin Yan and see how Lin Yan managed to kill Chen Jiang in such a short time after entering the Thunder Swamp Secret Realm.

But compared to what I want, what's more important right now is protecting Lin Yan.

Ye Xian, who was in the crowd, had been looking at Lin Yan, but when he saw He Songzhao standing in front of Lin Yan, he looked away and said with emotion, "It seems that everyone should thank Lin Yan for being able to come out this time."

To be honest, Ye Xian also felt that the Ye family martial arts school should thank Lin Yan, not only because Lin Yan saved Ye Ya, but also because the Ye family acted as the maintainers of order in the Thunder Swamp Secret Realm.

Although this matter cannot be blamed on the family, everyone will have some degree of resentment. If all these illusory martial artists were to perish inside, the Ye family would likely not be treated well when dealing with the sects present if they needed certain martial arts resources in the future.

"That's right. Our Sword Sect has always been clear about gratitude and resentment. Brother Lin... our Sword Sect will remember this favor."

The middle-aged man in front of Zhou Chen and Kuang Ye immediately chimed in, saying that although the Blade Sect had also lost a junior brother in the Void Phase Realm, it was still considered good compared to several other sects, many of which had been completely wiped out.

With the Dao Sect's Realm Realm expert speaking up, the Realm Realm experts present who had junior brothers still alive also expressed their gratitude to Lin Yan.

"Junior Brother Lin, you've made many sects owe you favors this time."

Pei Wujiu smiled and looked at Lin Yan. With this favor, if Junior Brother Lin lacks martial arts resources in his future cultivation, and these sects happen to have them, as long as Junior Brother Lin comes to them, these sects will generally give him face and exchange them.

"Let's not rush to express our gratitude. So many disciples from our sects have perished this time, while some individuals have managed to break through to higher levels so quickly. Don't you all find this suspicious?"

The Tai Xuan Palace's Realm expert spoke coldly, his gaze turning to Lin Yan standing behind He Songzhao: "It's said that Chen Jiang awakened the Thunder Dragon, but if Chen Jiang was empowered by the Thunder Dragon's energy, how could Lin Yan possibly defeat him? I'm afraid Chen Jiang is a fake, and someone else is cooperating with the Thunder Dragon. Don't forget, we were guarding outside, yet the Thunder Dragon disappeared without a trace. Isn't that suspicious?"

"Wang Chong, what do you mean by that!"

He Songzhao's face turned cold as he looked at Wang Chong, who was trying to smear Lin Shidi.

No one responded to Wang Chong, but the expressions on the faces of those present became somewhat subtle.

Those who owed Lin Yan a favor naturally wouldn't speak up, and those who had been completely wiped out didn't want to leave the Taiyi Sword Sect before things became clear.

Even without saying it, Wang Chong's words gave rise to some doubts in their hearts.

On what grounds?

Why Lin Yan?

If someone had already reached the fifth or even fourth level of the Void Aspect realm before entering the Thunder Swamp Secret Realm, they could accept it. But given the time it took Lin Yan to break through to the Dharma Aspect realm, he was at most at the second level of the Void Aspect realm.

It is indeed somewhat unbelievable that a second-tier illusory being would ultimately become a hero who turned the tide.

"Actually, Brother Lin's improvement in strength has something to do with my Ye family."

Ye Ya glanced at her second uncle and continued, "Brother Lin was able to improve his strength so quickly because I gave him ten of my Ye family's unique Lightning-Attracting Pearls. After using the Lightning-Attracting Pearls, one can quickly attract lightning fruits. Others can only obtain one at a time, but the Lightning-Attracting Pearls can obtain ten at a time. According to the density of lightning energy in this Thunder Swamp Secret Realm, it is very likely that he can obtain hundreds of them."

Ye Ya's words implied that the five stones originally intended for Chu Yan were also given to Lin Yan.

"A lightning-attracting bead?"

Many martial artists in the Realm of Reality looked at Ye Xian. A glint flashed in Ye Xian's eyes. If he remembered correctly, these ten lightning-attracting beads were prepared for Chu Yan. How come they were used on Lin Yan in the end?

However, considering the strength Lin Yan had displayed, Ye Xian could guess the general situation.

He changed his mind because he believed his niece, Jueyan, had more potential than Chuyan.

This decision was correct. It now seems that Lin Yan's potential is indeed greater. He was able to advance several levels with the help of the Thunder Fruit, which means that Lin Yan's Divine Palace has broken through the ten-zhang limit.

"Xiaoya is right. The Lightning-Attracting Pearl can indeed obtain a large number of Lightning Fruits at once. My Ye family ancestors also tried it. As long as you have enough Lightning-Attracting Pearls, advancing in rank is not a problem. However, Lightning-Attracting Pearls are extremely rare. Even my Ye family can only get one every few years."

Ye Xian's words explained why Lin Yan was able to advance so quickly.

address:\\\\\\\\\\\\.\\\\\\

"Wang Chong, did you hear that? Junior Brother Lin was able to advance so quickly because of the lightning fruit attracted by the lightning-attracting pearl."

He Chaosong looked at Wang Chong with a cold smile. Wang Chong frowned. With the Ye family backing Lin Yan, it was no longer possible for him to make everyone doubt Lin Yan.

The Ye Family Martial Arts School and the Taiyi Sword Sect do not have a deep relationship, so it is unlikely that they would lie for Lin Yan's sake.

"Gentlemen, I suggest you stay in Foshan for now. If you have any further questions, you can ask them to clarify them."

Ye Xian spoke with a smile, and upon hearing his words, the Realm Realm warriors present showed signs of interest.

"Junior Brother Lin, let's go to Foshan Prefecture first."

This time, He Songzhao spoke directly to Lin Yan. He wasn't just saying this to Lin Yan, but also to Pei Wujiu and the others. However, it was clear that in his mind, Lin Yan had become a representative of Pei Wujiu and the others.

"stop!"

Just as He Songzhao was about to take a step, another voice rang out. Upon hearing the speaker, Lin Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, but showed no surprise on his face as he looked at the speaker.

A Reality Realm martial artist from the Heavenly Sword Sect!

Even the Tai Xuan Palace wanted to pin the blame on them, so how could the Tian Jian Sect, the mortal enemy of the Tai Yi Sword Sect, remain silent?

To Lin Yan's surprise, not only was he unaware of it, but Senior Brother Pei and the others beside him also showed no surprise at all. In fact, even the other people present had an expression that said, "I knew this would happen."

All the illusory warriors of the Heavenly Sword Sect were wiped out, while all the illusory warriors of the Taiyi Sword Sect survived. How could the Heavenly Sword Sect not launch an attack?

He Songzhao went even further, saying, "I thought you, Xie Zhiwei, were going to play the dead dog this time, but you've actually barked."

Upon hearing this, many martial artists present couldn't help but laugh out loud, but they quickly composed themselves.

According to the rules of the martial arts world, when the Taiyi Sword Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect are fighting, no one will interfere.

"He Songzhao, you're asking for it!"

"It's not certain who will die yet, draw your sword."

Upon hearing He Songzhao's words, Xie Zhiwei's face showed anger, but he ultimately suppressed his anger. Before taking action, he needed to do one more thing.

"Miss Ye, I have a few questions I'd like to ask."

Xie Zhiwei looked at Ye Ya, who nodded and said, "Please ask, sir."

"When Han Che summons you all together, will my fellow disciples from the Heavenly Sword Sect be present?"

Ye Ya paused for a moment, then shook her head: "Not here."

She knew Xie Zhiwei's purpose in asking this question, but she wasn't the only one watching. If she lied about this, it might even make others suspect that the Ye family had reached some kind of agreement with the Taiyi Sword Sect. In that case, her previous explanation to Lin Yan would also be questioned.

"Are any of my disciples from the Tai Xuan Palace present?"

Upon hearing Ye Ya's answer, Wang Chong of Tai Xuan Palace also pressed for an answer.

"It's...it's not here either."

Swish!

Wang Chong's gaze fell on Lin Yan again.

"What are you looking at? Your Tai Xuan Palace people aren't here. What does it have to do with Junior Brother Lin if he was killed by someone else? Those trash from the Heavenly Sword Sect can still pin the blame on Junior Brother Lin. Our Taiyi Sword Sect won't explain either. We'll just consider it adding to Junior Brother Lin's achievements. But why are you Tai Xuan Palace getting involved?"

"My Tai Xuan Palace also has a grudge against Lin Yan!"

Upon hearing Wang Chong's words, He Songzhao was taken aback. He had been wondering why Wang Chong was questioning his junior brother Lin, but he hadn't expected it to be because of this.

Ultimately, it was because his understanding of Lin Yan's situation was limited to Lin Yan's affairs within the Taiyi Sword Sect; he hadn't learned much about things outside the Taiyi Sword Sect.

"That doesn't prove that Junior Brother Lin was the one who killed him."

He Songzhao frowned. The Heavenly Sword Sect didn't care. No matter what, they would hold Lin Shidi accountable. There was no need to add the Tai Xuan Palace to the score.

"Miss Ye, may I ask if my eldest son, Chengfeng, appeared at the end?"

Suddenly, an aged voice rang out, and the next moment an old man appeared on the scene.

"Senior Brother He, Lin Yan had a conflict with Xian Chengfeng of Zhaoye Martial Arts School before entering the Thunder Swamp Secret Realm."

Upon seeing the appearance of the Zhaoye Martial Arts School Master, Pei Wujiu immediately sent a telepathic message to He Songzhao.

"understood."

He Songzhao nodded, glanced back at Lin Yan, but didn't ask anything. At that moment, Ye Ya also gave her answer: "Not here."

"Thank you, Miss Ye."

Xian Zhaoting nodded, then turned his gaze to Lin Yan: "Such coincidences do happen in this world. My Zhaoye Martial Arts School, Taixuan Palace, and Tianjian Sect all have grudges against Lin Yan, and they all just happened to die inside. Moreover, Lin Yan just happened to have the strength to fight against a sixth-level Void Realm cultivator. Lin Yan, don't you intend to give us an explanation for this?"

Faced with Xian Zhaoting's questioning, Lin Yan did not remain silent this time: "What explanation do you want? Before I took Miss Ye's Lightning-Attracting Pearl, I was only at the third level of the Void Realm. Could I have killed these people? If I really had that strength, why didn't I take action against the people of the Nine Heavens Thunder Sect? Speaking of grudges... the Nine Heavens Thunder Sect and I also have grudges. I even killed the people of the Tai Xuan Palace, why would I care about killing one more person from the Nine Heavens Thunder Sect?"

Upon hearing this, the Realm Realm expert of the Nine Heavens Thunder Sect twitched at the corner of his mouth. The Nine Heavens Thunder Sect did indeed have a grudge against Lin Yan, similar to the situation with the Tai Xuan Palace.

However, when Ye Ya was speaking, she also mentioned that several of her junior brothers died at the hands of Chen Jiang. With so many people present, Ye Ya wouldn't lie; the deaths of her junior brothers were indeed unrelated to Lin Yan.

Therefore, upon hearing Lin Yan's sarcastic remarks, he could only let out a cold snort.

"Did you hear that? How these people died has nothing to do with my Junior Brother Lin. Quite a few people died this time, are you going to blame them all on Junior Brother Lin?"

He Songzhao took over the conversation, but just as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man in the Void Realm in the crowd suddenly spoke up: "I remember that before Han Che summoned us to gather, the people from the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Tai Xuan Palace, and the Zhao Ye Martial Arts School joined together, trying to trap the people from the Taiyi Sword Sect and force Lin Yan to show himself."

brush!

Upon hearing this, many people in the audience subtly changed their expressions.

Many of the surviving Void Realm martial artists at the scene actually knew about this, but they wouldn't say it because they owed Lin Yan a debt of gratitude for saving their lives.

"Pan Shaoyou, without Junior Brother Lin, you would be dead in the secret realm by now. Is this how you repay Junior Brother Lin?"

Zhao Qing's face turned ashen. He hadn't expected that the people from the Heavenly Sword Sect would have such a plan. He could also guess that the failure of the Heavenly Sword Sect's plan was most likely related to Junior Brother Lin.

But this matter absolutely cannot be admitted.

At least not right now!

"I'm just telling the truth."

Pan Shaoyou curled his lip: "Lin Yan didn't do it, so what's there to hide?"

Just as Pan Shaoyou finished speaking, Wang Chong and Xie Zhiwei exchanged a glance.

"Lin Yan is a prime suspect and must be removed from office."

Xie Zhiwei spoke coldly, and He Songzhao drew his long sword from behind his back and held it in his hand: "Then do you have the strength?"

"Then I'll kill you first, then Lin Yan!"

Xie Zhiwei also drew his longsword, and the two moved almost simultaneously. Their swords clashed, and a visible shockwave spread out from between them, causing many rocks within a hundred feet to explode.

The two fought from the ground into the air, their sword intent pouring down like rain during their battle. Each clash was accompanied by a deafening roar, and several mountain peaks were instantly leveled by their sword intent, causing the martial artists present to retreat in disarray.

Just as the two were exchanging blows, Wang Chong moved, his figure flashing past both of them, and struck out with a palm towards Lin Yan.

The golden palm print swelled several feet in the wind, but just as it was still more than ten feet away from Lin Yan, a blade of energy slashed out from the side, striking the palm print with perfect precision.

The golden palm print shattered, and Wang Chong's pupils contracted. He looked at the middle-aged man who had drawn his sword, his eyes filled with anger: "Han Yuzhi, are you perhaps trying to get involved?"

"As I've said before, my Sword Sect is clear about gratitude and grudges. Lin Yan saved my two junior brothers, and this debt of gratitude must be repaid."

Han Yuzhi held his long sword horizontally in front of him, while Zhou Chen, standing behind him, twitched at the corner of his mouth upon hearing this.

"Han Yuzhi, don't think I'm afraid of you!"

Han Yuzhi turned his blade, locking onto Wang Chong with his intent. "If you want to make a move, I'll oblige."

"Alright, then I'd like to see if your sword, Han Yuzhi, has gotten any stronger over the years."

Wang Chong raised his right hand, and a giant golden palm instantly appeared, slamming down directly towards Han Yuzhi.

This time, the golden palm print was clearly several times more solid than before, and even space itself began to distort the moment it appeared.

Facing Wang Chong's palm strike, Han Yuzhi remained calm, his long saber flashing like a rainbow as he slashed out.

boom!

As the blade clashed with his palm, Wang Chong swayed slightly, but a black spear suddenly appeared in his hand.

"Again!"

"good!"

However, the moment Qin Dao stopped Wang Chong, Xian Zhaoting, who had retreated to the side after questioning Ye Ya, disappeared from the spot.

When it reappeared, it was less than ten feet away from Lin Yan. Its five fingers formed claws, and the power of its Dharma form instantly surged from its fingertips, growing stronger in the wind, and it directly grabbed at Lin Yan.

This grab was ruthless, clearly intended to kill Lin Yan with a single claw strike.

"Xian Zhaoting, how dare you!"

He Songzhao was entangled with Xie Zhiwei and couldn't break free at all. When he turned around and saw this scene, his eyes widened in horror.

However, Lin Yan's face did not show much panic at this moment. Ever since he came out of the secret realm, he had been on guard, and his spiritual perception was released to the extreme. Almost as soon as Xian Zhaoting's figure disappeared, he had already retreated backward, and at the same time, he had the Chenyuan Sword in his hand. In addition, Lin Yan also found that a burst of energy in his arms flashed by.

Seeing Lin Yan's quick reaction, Xian Zhaoting was also surprised. No wonder he was able to kill Chen Jiang; Lin Yan's strength had already reached the top of the Void Realm.

But as long as Lin Yan doesn't step into the Realm of Reality, the outcome is already predetermined.

As for the Taiyi Sword Sect's subsequent retaliation, he no longer cared. With Chengfeng dead, Zhaoye Martial Arts School had no successor and no reason to exist. At this moment, he only wanted to avenge Chengfeng.

Once Lin Yan is killed, we will take Shao Jie and leave Foshan and the Southern Guangdong region.

"In your death throes, I'll show you the difference between the Realm of Reality and the Realm of Illusion!"

Seeing Lin Yan draw his sword, Xian Zhaoting's old face broke into a sinister smile, and his withered claws grew out of shape once again. But just as he was about to grab Lin Yan, a sudden change occurred.

A terrifying pressure suddenly descended from the void above the mountain range, and a terrifying aura instantly spread down.

Xie Zhiwei and He Songzhao, who were fighting, felt this aura and their expressions changed at the same time. They looked at the void in disbelief. At this moment, the longswords in their hands were trembling slightly. The sword intent that originally surrounded them seemed to have sensed some terrifying existence and dissipated.

Xian Zhaoting looked up and felt the terrifying pressure from above. His expression changed drastically. He wanted to kill Lin Yan before that terrifying being arrived, but he soon realized that he couldn't do it at all.

The oppressive force from the sky locked onto his aura, carrying an endless killing intent; even before landing, it made his scalp tingle.

One more step forward, and death awaited him.

"run!"

Xian Zhaoting instantly changed his mind. Killing Lin Yan could avenge Chengfeng, but the price would be his own life, and if he perished here, Shaojie would also die.

The Teruno Martial Arts School has had its share of enemies over the years.

At this moment, Xian Zhaoting could no longer care about Lin Yan. He gritted his teeth and a blazing sun, about an inch high, appeared above his head.

Dharma Image: Shining Golden Sun in the Wilderness.

This is also the origin of the name of Teruno Martial Arts School.

However, at this moment, the golden sun was burning fiercely, flames gushing out from within the Dharma image. The blazing sun began to fade, but Xian Zhaoting's aura was surging.

He was burning the Dharma image.

Sensing that he had broken through the lock of this aura, Xian Zhaoting was about to use his escape technique when, in the next instant, blood spread across the sky.

Xian Zhaoting's figure was once again frozen in place.

Blood instantly enveloped the entire mountain range, and within that blood-red sky, a red sword imprint appeared.

The moment the sword imprint appeared, a murderous aura that made heaven and earth pale in comparison descended.

At this moment, whether they were Real Realm or Illusion Realm martial artists, they all turned pale upon sensing this murderous aura. Xie Zhiwei looked up at the blood-red sword mark, his hand holding the sword trembling slightly: "Kill... Slaughter Sword Mark."

Upon hearing Xie Zhiwei's words, the martial artists present also changed their expressions drastically.

The Mark of the Sword of Slaughter... the owner of this mark... once stirred up a lot of bloodshed in the martial arts world.

"cut!"

A cold voice rang out, and everyone saw the red sword mark floating in the sky flash with red light. The next moment, they heard a painful scream.

The screams came from Xian Zhaoting.

boom!

Xian Zhaoting's arms exploded, followed by his legs, then his body, until finally only his head remained.

His face was contorted with terror, his eyes almost bulging out of their sockets, clearly dying with unfinished business.

A martial artist at the Realm of Reality has died!

They were powerless to resist.

Many experts at the Realm of Reality were also feeling uneasy, with Xie Zhiwei and Wang Chong being the most pale-faced. They wanted to run, but when they thought of how Xian Zhaoting had burned his Dharma Aspect to escape, only to die such a gruesome death, they managed to suppress their fear and remained where they were.

Lin Yan looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with shock. Was this his master's mark of the killing sword path?

When he tested his sword imprint at the Taiyi Sword Sect's sword arena, he wasn't too shocked, but now that the sword imprint has truly emerged, he has experienced its terrifying power.

Sword marks are like supernatural powers, and supernatural powers cannot be defeated by force.

He now had a very profound understanding of these words.

With his current strength, he was probably no different from an ant in his master's eyes.

"Is that Senior Shen from the Hidden Hall? What brings him here?"

Zhao Qing wiped the sweat from his forehead, somewhat puzzled as to why that Senior Shen had appeared, but regardless, it was a good thing.

"Senior Brother Zhao, Senior Shen is Junior Brother Lin's master. Junior Brother Lin is not only a disciple of Qijian Hall, but also a disciple of this Senior Shen."

Pei Wujiu offered an explanation, and upon hearing this, Zhao Qing was stunned, looking at Lin Yan with a strange expression.

Is Lin Yan this person's disciple?

Case solved.

No wonder Zeng Yun was killed for trespassing on Lin Yan's residence, and Wei Xian was killed for provoking Lin Yan.

It turns out that the lineage was passed down from master to disciple.

In his opinion, if Lin Yan had directly revealed that he was this person's disciple, they would not have thought that Yan was too bloodthirsty, but would have thought that Lin Yan had already restrained himself.

This is the reputation of this senior Mr. Shen.

The others who had also heard Pei Wujiu's words were now looking at Lin Yan with the same strange gaze.

Case solved!

Fang Du of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Lu Siyuan of the Tai Xuan Palace, and Xian Chengfeng of the Zhao Ye Martial Arts School—these people are all definitely going to be killed by Lin Yan.

They were only slightly suspicious at first, but now they are quite certain.

"Anyone who harms my disciple shall die!"

The cold voice rang out once more, and the crimson sword mark hanging high in the sky began to shine again.

This scene turned Zhiwei and Wang Chong pale, but at that moment, a figure appeared in the sky.

"Senior Shen, please calm down!"

The old man who appeared was dressed in official robes and stood in mid-air.

Upon seeing the old man's official robes, Lin Yan recognized him as the Inspector of Southern Guangdong.

The Sword Sect's collection of books records that this person was a powerful expert at the fourth level of the Dharma Aspect realm.

"Are you going to stop me?"

"Senior Shen, I'm not trying to stop you, but if you were to unleash this sword... the martial arts world would be thrown into chaos again."

"What a joke! Am I afraid of chaos?"

Hearing his master's voice, Lin Yan couldn't help but laugh.

Kong Hao also showed a helpless expression. This guy really is someone who is not afraid of chaos in the world.

"If these people dare to attack my disciple, I won't kill them today. Otherwise, those old bastards will jump out and target my disciple too. I might as well let them have their fun first."

"Senior Shen, please don't be in a hurry."

Kong Hao quickly interrupted, glancing at Xie Zhiwei and Wang Chong, whose faces were deathly pale, and then at Lin Yan. He pondered for a moment and said, "As the Inspector of the Southern Guangdong Circuit, I guarantee that nothing will happen to Lin Yan in the Southern Guangdong Circuit. Otherwise, he would be an enemy of the Southern Guangdong Circuit and the imperial court."

"not enough!"

"I will ask Lord Hou to talk to Tai Xuan Palace. There is absolutely no high-level expert in Tai Xuan Palace who would attack Lin Yan."

"My disciple has saved so many lives..."

"I commend you. My office will certainly commend you and report this to the imperial court."

Kong Hao gave the other party the answer they wanted directly: "As for the sects behind these rescued people..."

Seeing Kong Hao looking down, the experts at the Realm of Reality present also spoke up one after another: "Senior Shen, rest assured, once we return to the sect, we will definitely report to the sect leader, and the sect will certainly make a response."

You can't stay silent. What if the apprentice saves someone, and then the master kills them?

Others may not be able to do this, but this person may be able to do it.

"I'll be waiting!"

Shen Cangwu's voice came again. Hearing this, Kong Hao breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression changed drastically the next moment, and he quickly looked down.

On the ground, Pan Shaoyou's body exploded, turning into a spray of blood.

Xie Zhiwei and Wang Chong both groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood, their expressions quickly becoming listless.

Seeing this, Kong Hao shook his head slightly. Only two people had died, and this Senior Shen had already restrained himself. He had done his best.

The red sword mark slowly dissipated, and the crimson color in the sky also faded.

Lin Yan was stunned. His master had just left without even showing up?

"Fool, your master is at the Taiyi Sword Sect. How could I show myself? The reason I can make a move is because of the sword token I gave you. It contains a killing sword aura. As long as I sense that your life is in danger, this killing sword aura can make me summon the killing sword path, but its power is less than one-tenth."

Suddenly, his master's voice rang in his ears, and Lin Yan was startled.

Less than 10%?

Lin Yan's lips twitched. The power of the Killing Sword Dao was already this great at this moment, even with less than one-tenth of its power being released. What would happen if it were fully released?

"Hold that sword token in your hand, and you can communicate with me in your mind."

Upon hearing his master's second telepathic message, Lin Yan's body twitched slightly, and the sword token slid down to his sleeve, where he held it in his hand.

"Master, so the sword token you gave me is really that powerful? Why didn't you explain that to me beforehand?"

"I told you, if you have something to rely on, how can you be careful and cautious?"

Lin Yan: ...

"I deliberately forced Kong Hao to show himself. This time you've caused a lot of trouble, and Tai Xuan Palace is closer to Yue Nan Xing Dao. If I didn't force Kong Hao to make a promise, I was afraid Tai Xuan Palace would send powerful people to hunt you down. This guy is shrewd; he guessed my intentions, which is why he made such a promise."

That's it!

Lin Yan looked enlightened and asked again, "Master, what if this person doesn't cooperate?"

"Then I will kill everyone present, and make them pay for your death in advance. Then, the Taiyi Sword Sect and I will start a full-scale war against the Taixuan Palace and the Tianjian Sect, and the martial arts world of the Great Zhou will be in complete chaos."

Hearing his master's words, Lin Yan finally understood why Inspector Kong had cooperated.

The martial arts world is in chaos, and the source of this chaos is the cult in southern Guangdong. The imperial court will definitely hold them accountable.

"Stay in Guangdong these days, preferably in the Inspector's Mansion. Although Kong Hao's attitude represents the court, there might be some ruthless people. I bet the Taiyi Sword Sect won't cause chaos in the Daoist world for your sake. Better safe than sorry. Staying in the Inspector's Mansion is the safest option. Wait for your master to arrive."

"Don't worry, Master, I promise I won't step out of the Inspector's Mansion."

……

The sky quickly returned to normal, and Kong Hao's figure landed on the ground.

"Master Kong."

"Inspector Kong".

Everyone present bowed in greeting.

"The Thunder Swamp Secret Realm has ended. You may all disperse now."

Kong Hao waved his hand and looked at Lin Yan: "Young friend Lin... and a few others from the Taiyi Sword Sect, come with me to the Inspector's Mansion for a chat."
