Who taught him to practice swordsmanship like this?

Su Baichen quietly returned to the government office.

I returned to the corner room and went to the kitchen to prepare some delicious food to treat myself.

It is foreseeable that the servants in this government office will soon be experiencing another period of low morale.

Su Baichen returned to his room and did nothing but continue meditating and practicing his internal energy.

As if the previously violent and furious person were someone else, he remained as calm as ever.

This actually means that he has mastered the art of controlling his emotions and feelings, and is not dominated by the ultimate intent within the Soul-Suppressing Sword.

To be honest, the sword strike that killed the demonic cultivator earlier allowed him to reach a higher level of swordsmanship!

He had to savor the subtleties of it all and seize that fleeting inspiration.

Guanlan Sword Maiden said that sword intent is the highest pursuit of sword cultivators. It needs to be carefully nurtured and purified. Only pure sword intent can unleash its full power.

Previously, Su Baichen did not think this was wrong, after all, Guanlan Sword Lady was a senior sword cultivator, and at least she had gone further than him on the path of swordsmanship.

However, Su Baichen now has a different answer in his mind.

The so-called sword intent is the will that the sword creator infuses into the sword moves when creating the sword technique... That will belongs to the sword, to the sword creator, but not necessarily to the sword practitioner.

Sword practitioners comprehend the sword intent and then refine it step by step. What they are pursuing is their own way of the sword or the way of the sword creator.

Perhaps this is the path of a sword cultivator: first, one imitates and learns, gradually approaching the realm of predecessors, and then breaks through that realm to comprehend one's own wondrous realm.

However, when he resonated with the Soul-Suppressing Sword earlier, he touched upon the concept of "ultimate intent".

He transcends everything with his own will, and masters all sword techniques, all of which are vessels of ultimate intent!

Of course, Su Baichen was not yet able to reach the state of "ultimate skill" on his own, but he had already learned how to control the sword in his hand with his own will.

This is a change in mindset. Perhaps from now on, Su Baichen has already begun to differ from sword cultivators. To be more precise, he is now a 'sword wielder'.

Just as his understanding deepened, his spiritual copper finger suddenly trembled.

He snapped out of his reverie and then channeled a wisp of true energy into the Spirit Message Copper Finger...

"Bai Chen, did you kill Zhou Ji?"

Su Baichen had anticipated this question, so he answered frankly, "Yes."

Master Xuanding asked, "Why... is there such a strong demonic aura at the scene?"

Su Baichen replied, "I used the Soul-Suppressing Sword... Strictly speaking, it wasn't demonic energy, but rather the anger of my human ancestors within the Soul-Suppressing Sword. They couldn't bear the reality of the tragic deaths of young children and needed to vent it."

Master Xuanding said with great concern, "But this would probably be very disadvantageous for you."

Su Baichen comforted him, "Senior Uncle, nothing like that. I just feel completely clear-headed right now, and many things I couldn't understand before are suddenly clear to me... I'm perfectly fine!"

Master Xuanding remained worried: "Alright, since you feel you're fine... how about this, take some time to come out. Your master is here this time too; he has something to say to you."

Su Baichen replied, "Okay, I'm coming right now."

He understood that Master Xuanding was still worried about his condition, which was why he insisted on appearing before them to confirm it.

Su Baichen looked at the busy government office, then quietly walked out and went to the Taoist temple outside the city.

This is indeed a problematic matter. The gathering place at Changchun Palace was far too easy to find; it was practically exposed to the public without any concealment.

He entered and immediately saw several familiar faces.

"You little rascal, how could you act so recklessly!"

Feng Linzi immediately stood in front of him, hugged him tightly, and only let go when she felt his strong body.

At this moment, the senior disciple's eyes were filled with worry and lingering fear.

Su Baichen gently patted Feng Linzi's back and said, "Senior Brother, I'm fine, don't worry... I'm not a reckless man, I remember everything you taught me."

Since the Xuanmiao Temple was burned down, he has been unknown to both mortals and demons.

At that moment, a dignified and familiar voice came from inside: "Feng Linzi, let him come over."

Su Baichen recognized his master's voice and quickly went up to greet him.

"Master."

He bowed in greeting.

But then he saw two other familiar faces next to Xuan Yin Zhenren: Shui Yin Ji and the old fisherman!

Shuiyin Ji is one thing, but the old fisherman is a senior member of the Yin Sect. I never expected that even he would be alarmed.

Master Xuanyin noticed his gaze and softened slightly, saying, "You're quite a lovable child. After hearing your distress message, Junior Sister Shuiyin Ji and Uncle Fishing Weng immediately left the mountain gate to come and help."

"And you, you've been nowhere to be seen for the past two days, not even bothering to let me know you're safe?"

Su Baichen scratched his head sheepishly and said, "Uncle-Master, and Grandmaster-Master, it was my fault."

The old fisherman said irritably, "It's rare to see you so embarrassed. Where's that spirit you had when you argued with me until we were red in the face in Yinfeng Gorge?"

"Hehe...I'm not that bad, am I?"

Su Baichen muttered guiltily.

Shuiyin Ji said softly, "Alright, it's good that you're alright... Uncle and Senior Brother, please stop lecturing him. He's still just a child."

The others exchanged bewildered glances; this blatant favoritism was truly both laughable and infuriating.

Besides the Yin Sect members, there were also people from the Yang Sect, the Sword Sect, and the Five Elements Sect. However, since the Yin Sect Master himself was present this time, there weren't as many people from these three sects.

After Su Baichen greeted everyone, Guanlan Sword Maiden couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Baichen, are you aware that the person who stormed into the Zhou residence is now being called the 'Sword Demon'?"

Su Baichen chuckled: "I didn't expect I'd already made a name for myself."

He seemed completely unconcerned.

He understood what Guanlan Jian'ao was trying to remind him of, but...

The fisherman chuckled: "Girl, don't be so nervous. Although the Soul-Suppressing Sword can be defined as a demonic sword, it is essentially a treasure of humanity. Its purpose is to protect humanity."

"As the current master of this sword, Bai Chen is not afraid of the general trend of humanity, and he doesn't need to care about any karma."

"Unless his actions cause humanity to collapse and violate the will of the protectors, he is not afraid of the consequences of human actions."

Only then did everyone realize that the Soul-Suppressing Sword on Su Baichen's body possessed such profound mysteries.

Since everyone present was a senior cultivator from the Changchun Palace, there was no need to worry about the news leaking.

However, after discussing Su Baichen, what happened next surprised Su Baichen greatly.

"That Radiant guy is out again? What kind of trouble is he up to this time?"

The fisherman said rather bluntly.

Yes, the old fisherman was a senior member of Changchun Palace, so he must know more about what happened back then.
