Who taught him to practice swordsmanship like this?

"Senior, how did you notice it?"

Knowing that concealing the truth under the Sword Heart's Clarity was useless, the Sword Master Wufeng simply decided to speak frankly.

Upon hearing this, the Crimson-Bearded Sword Master laughed.

Then he pointed at the old man with the blunt sword and said, "You, you never plan anything. When have you ever come here to discuss swordsmanship beforehand? You always leave when you're done having fun, don't you?"

Upon hearing this, the Sword Master Wufeng was speechless for a moment, and then showed an embarrassed expression.

He glanced at Su Baichen.

Su Baichen nodded slightly to him, and then he raised his head and said, "Senior Chixu, I have indeed come here with some other missions." Upon seeing this, Chixu Sword Master suddenly interrupted, "Don't say anymore."

Then, pointing at Su Baichen, he said, "Let this child speak. Although I don't know why you value this child's judgment so much, I think it's better than you making things up and unclear."

Su Baichen was completely bewildered. Why was he suddenly asked to speak at this crucial moment?

He stared blankly at the Crimson-Bearded Sword Master, looking completely bewildered.

The Crimson-Bearded Sword Master chuckled: "No need to panic. I see in you the expectations of many people, as well as some beings that even I fear."

"I believe you can explain this well."

The disciples of the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect were all extremely shocked. They clearly did not believe that this young man, Su Baichen, possessed anything that could make the Crimson Beard Sword Venerable feel fear.

Su Baichen felt completely at ease in front of the Crimson Beard Sword Master. It was as if there were no secrets in front of those clear, bright eyes.

He glanced around at the disciples of the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect, then asked, "Senior, do you know of the Formless One?"

The Crimson-Bearded Sword Master instantly became solemn.

He solemnly asked, "Why bring up this matter from a thousand years ago?"

Su Baichen said earnestly, "Why bother with such formalities, senior?"

He had already figured it out; the Crimson Beard Sword Master must have known about this all along.

The Crimson-Bearded Sword Master's gaze sharpened, and an incomparably sharp sword intent pierced straight towards Su Baichen's brow, as if he wanted to dissect his head to see what was inside.

But at that moment, Guanlan Sword Maiden and Wufeng Sword Elder stepped forward simultaneously and stood side by side in front of Su Baichen.

"Senior, this child is still young, don't frighten him."

The old swordsman with the swordless head bowed and said meekly.

The Crimson-Bearded Sword Master withdrew his sword-like gaze and then said, "I simply don't understand why your Changchun Palace would entrust such an important matter to him?"

Su Baichen coughed lightly: "Senior, you were the one who told me to come and talk... Originally, I just wanted to join in the fun and listen to the elders' conversation."

Crimson-bearded Sword Master: …….

That's true, but the problem is that asking you to speak is a way of honoring a junior. Can't you just say a few nice words? Why are you suddenly getting all serious and starting to talk about serious matters?

Su Baichen roughly figured out where the problem lay, so he added, "This junior just feels that under Senior's enlightened sword heart, speaking too much will inevitably lead to mistakes, so it's better to speak frankly."

Crimson-bearded Sword Master: …….

He was speechless again. He had never seen anyone turn the tables and blame him, Jianxin Tongming, like this.

At this moment, a young man dressed in a red and black outfit, looking incredibly dashing and debonair, clasped his hands and asked, "Master, what exactly is this 'Formless One' you speak of?"

The Crimson-Bearded Sword Master was then relieved of his embarrassment and gave his disciple a brief and concise explanation of the origins of the Formless One. He concluded by saying, "I believe the Formless One is truly a demon from beyond the heavens; entering my world will only bring disaster."

"It's a pity that many righteous sects have long forgotten about this matter, and those who do remember it never take it seriously."

He looked at the Sword Master Wufeng: "You've come here many times before, and I've subtly reminded you to be careful when accepting disciples at Changchun Palace... Later, when I saw that my reminders were useless, I thought you didn't take this matter to heart."

At this moment, all the Sword Sect disciples looked at Sword Elder Wufeng with strange eyes, because they had never heard him mention this matter before. Sword Elder Wufeng blushed, but offered no explanation.

Su Baichen guessed that the old guy probably didn't take this matter to heart at all and didn't mention it when he came back.

Guanlan Sword Lady took over the conversation, saying, "Fortunately, we realized our mistake in time and indeed found out many Wuxiang practitioners who had infiltrated the various sects of Changchun Palace, and we cleaned them up."

Upon hearing this, the Crimson-Bearded Sword Master's expression visibly relaxed.

Su Baichen, relying on his previous words, spoke up and asked, "Senior, I'm very curious, why do those righteous sects choose to condone the problems of those without form?"

The Crimson-Bearded Sword Master was not offended. After a moment's thought, he patiently explained, "Because these Formless Ones are very good at disguising themselves. At least in the cultivation world, they all disguise themselves as weaklings, appearing as if they are 'only seeking a place to survive'."

"Many people on the righteous path are accustomed to the idea of ​​doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, so they are often indulged."

"In addition, some people have discovered that those without form are actually very suitable for cultivating techniques like the Path of Ruthlessness, and they often become talented very quickly... So some people are simply attracted by their talent."

"They felt they were in a superior position, capable of encompassing everything, even those without form, and treating them all equally..."

Su Baichen understood. He had been thinking that although the existence of the Formless Ones was hidden, it was not so that the entire cultivation world had not discovered them for a thousand years and that they had to wait for him and Yu Xiangke to find them.

It turns out that the true top forces in the cultivation world had long known of the existence of these formless beings, and the formless beings themselves were very good at pretending. In addition, there were those cultivators with overflowing maternal love... which is why the formless beings were able to take root in this world.

The Crimson-Bearded Sword Master added, "However, in reality, most people cannot discern the existence of those without form. It is often only after spending a long time with them that they discover clues during a chance anomaly."

"However, my sword heart is clear and I have sensed that these Formless Ones are actually harboring evil intentions, so I have never dared to let them step into the gates of my Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect."

Upon hearing this, Wufeng Sword Elder said with delight, "So you are a pioneer, senior... One of the missions my senior brother Kaiyang sent us here this time was to form a mutual support alliance with your Tianxia Sword Sect in order to deal with the Wuxiang people's step-by-step advance."

Everyone initially thought this would be a natural progression, but unexpectedly, the Crimson Beard Sword Master frowned and pondered for a moment before changing the subject: "Everyone, please go and rest first. We will have a sword competition tomorrow, so you should conserve your energy."

The old swordsman with no edge was caught off guard and didn't know what to do.

In fact, the others in the Sword Sect were no better off, and were somewhat at a loss.

Seeing this, Su Baichen felt rather helpless and could only step forward and quietly say to the Sword Master Wufeng, "Uncle-Master, how can we let Senior agree to this so hastily at this time?"

"Since you're going to form an alliance, I suppose you'll want to carefully consider the quality of your allies."

The Sword Master Wufeng then realized what was happening and quickly clasped his hands in response.

The Crimson-Bearded Sword Master looked at Su Baichen deeply once more, then seemed to understand something.
