Who taught him to practice swordsmanship like this?

Chapter 147 Dad's Here!

"Why are there so many heretical cultivators within the territory of Wei?"

A disciple of the Sword Sect raised this question, which is also a question everyone has.

They have already encountered three groups of evil cultivators within the territory of Wei.

So-called heretical cultivators are lone practitioners who will stop at nothing to improve their cultivation level.

If it's organized, then it's called the Demonic Sect.

Moreover, the eleven people from Changchun Palace were clearly not to be trifled with, yet they relentlessly came to cause trouble. It seemed they thought that having twenty people in their group would give them an advantage in numbers.

Especially near the border of Yong Kingdom, there are even more such heretical practitioners.

The Sword Master Wufeng explained, "On the border of Yong and Wei, there is a city that is not governed by any law or order, called 'City of No Return.' In the secular world, it is a paradise for bandits, caravans, and fugitives, while in the cultivation world, it is a gathering place for evil cultivators."

Su Baichen instantly remembered that the people who assassinated Tang Dezhao were from the City of No Return.

He understood even more clearly that this City of No Return was actually a paradise for those without form!

However, he didn't say much about it, as this kind of place wasn't suitable to go there now.

He wasn't sure how close the connections were between the Formless Ones. If he alerted them, it would only attract the encirclement and suppression of the forces controlled by the Formless Ones.

The Formless Ones within the Liang Kingdom have been completely wiped out, and it's highly likely that they have already noticed this...

This was a clue that Su Baichen discovered in several major northern cities of the Wei Kingdom.

His previous experience of gathering intelligence in the government office made him very focused on using government resources to discover information.

What he has discovered is that troops from all over the north are being transferred to the south.

This matter made him realize that it was not simple, but now he could only hope that Tang Dezhao could make the necessary preparations... Under Tang Dezhao's leadership, the Liang Kingdom had never relaxed its defense construction on its borders.

but……

How long has he been in power?

He needs time...

Su Baichen could only suppress these worries and then headed west into the territory of Yujing Mountain in Yong Kingdom.

The cliffs rise thousands of feet high, with strange peaks and steep cliffs stretching as far as the eye can see.

Each mountain peak resembles a divine sword, thrust upside down into the ground and pointing straight to the sky.

This is Yujing Mountain, a sacred place for sword cultivators all over the world!

The old Daoist with the sword without edge said, "Countless sword cultivators in this Jade Capital Mountain are trying to comprehend the Dao of the sword. They all feel that the towering cliffs of this mountain are the true meaning of the Dao of the sword left by heaven and earth, and they are doing their best to comprehend the Dao of the sword here."

"Now that we have come from afar, we must test our skills against these sword cultivators."

He paused for a moment, then looked at Su Baichen and said, "Nephew Baichen, you may go and comprehend the sword on your own..."

"Cough cough cough!"

Su Baichen coughed lightly and looked at the Swordless Elder with a hint of resentment.

The Sword Master Wufeng instantly realized his mistake and said, "I was wrong. You can go and comprehend the Earth Element yourself... Sigh, after spending so much time together, I've come to regard you as one of my Sword Sect's own children."

That's what I meant...

"Very well, I knew your Sword Sect's shamelessness towards my disciple had never ceased!"

Suddenly, a voice came from the side.

Everyone looked on in astonishment, only to see Xuan Yin Zhenren, surrounded by a light golden halo, appear beside Su Baichen.

Su Baichen exclaimed in surprise, "Master?! Weren't you consolidating your cultivation?"

Master Xuan Yin nodded and chuckled: "On a whim, I wanted to see my disciple. How could I not welcome him?"

The Sword Master Wufeng revealed a complex expression... After all, he was a Yang God!

The fact that Xuan Yin Zhenren has cultivated to the Yang Shen realm means that he has entered the Void Returning Realm of cultivation.

Among the cultivators of the same generation in Changchun Palace, only Master Kaiyang and Master Xuanyin have reached this level, making the remaining junior brothers and sisters extremely envious.

"Senior Brother Xuan Yin, your precious disciple is perfectly fine. There's absolutely no need to worry about his safety."

The Swordless Swordsman said irritably... He sounded a little emotional, as if he were a little jealous.

Master Xuanyin chuckled and said, "I naturally know that my fellow disciples are able to take good care of Bai Chen, but I have some other matters to discuss with Bai Chen today."

Su Baichen looked over in surprise.

Then he realized what was happening, took the fox statue out of his sleeve and threw it on the ground, and then took the basket off his back and put it on the ground as well.

The little fox poked its head out, its paws gripping the edge of the basket, its tiny brow furrowed, and let out a soft, childish cry… as if to say: [Human, don't leave me!]

Su Baichen waved his hand and said, "Stop fooling around, wait here for a moment."

The little fox could only obediently shut its mouth, looking quite aggrieved.

Upon seeing this, Jian Liuli suddenly sighed, "Now I understand why those stinky men are all bewitched by vixens... If it were me, I'd be bewitched too."

Her eyes never left the little fox, looking restless and eager...

Su Baichen followed his master to a secluded spot and asked, "Master, what has happened? Has something happened in Yinfeng Gorge?"

That's all he could think of, and it even bothered him.

If something unexpected happens at Yinfeng Gorge, he will have no choice but to put aside his current affairs and return as soon as possible.

But Master Xuan Yin said, "Yin Feng Gorge is unharmed, it's just you..."

Su Baichen was taken aback. What was wrong with him?

"Your father has come to the gates of Changchun Palace."

Su Baichen was startled. His father?

The father who abandoned his wife and children to seek immortality when he was young?

He couldn't help but ask, "Could my father be a formless being?"

Xuan Yin Zhenren's Yang spirit was almost shattered by this question. What kind of thunderous question was this?

Why would you think that?

Su Baichen then realized that he had gone too far, and said with a sigh, "I've been dealing with the things of the Formless Ones lately, so it's inevitable that I've become a bit sensitive."

"Besides, my father's actions—abandoning his wife and children without hesitation for the sake of one thing—are exactly like those of the Formless One."

Master Xuanyin understood his melancholy and said, "Then let's leave him alone for now, but he probably won't give up looking for you easily."

Su Baichen found it strange and asked, "Why is he staring at me? Could it be that he wants to use me to gain a chance at immortality?"

Master Xuanyin shook his head: "Don't think too badly of him, but it seems like he's here to 'sever ties with the world' for you."

Su Baichen's pupils dilated slightly as he asked, "Was my father's cultivation level strong?"

He truly never imagined that his father, who had muttered about "destiny with immortals" before leaving, would actually succeed.

Master Xuan Yin shook his head solemnly and earnestly, saying, "I don't know."

Su Baichen was taken aback: "Master didn't know?"

The Mysterious Yin Master said, "I cannot see through him, so naturally I do not know."

Saying he didn't know, but that already reveals the most important information... his father is probably a really amazing person!

"That's not right!"

"My father is only in his early thirties at most. How could someone that age possess cultivation levels that even my master can't see through?!"

Master Xuanyin stared at Su Baichen silently for a while, until Su Baichen felt uneasy under her gaze, before finally saying, "There is one possibility..."

Su Baichen felt a chill run down her spine and couldn't help but interject, "Could it be that my father is actually a monster?"

Master Xuan Yin said irritably, "You are a pure human! Otherwise, how could the Soul-Suppressing Sword possibly recognize you?"

Su Baichen breathed a sigh of relief, then asked with a troubled expression, "Could it be that my father is actually an old monster who sealed his memories and is now playing the game of life?"

Master Xuanyin chuckled: "Not quite, but it's close enough."

"I suspect your father was actually a celestial being from the upper realm who had undergone tribulation!"
