Jiang Chen, with Zhong Ling, evaded the watchful eyes of the Wuliang Sword Sect disciples and silently landed on the eaves of the Sword Lake Palace.
Two Wuliang Sword Sect disciples were fiercely engaged in a duel in the courtyard.
At this moment, Jiang Chen's large hand was still around Zhong Ling's waist. Feeling the warmth emanating from his hand, Zhong Ling's pretty face flushed, her heart pounding wildly, and the air was filled with Jiang Chen's strong masculine scent.
Never before in her life had Zhong Ling been so close to any man.
"Ling'er, we arrived just in time!" Jiang Chen said softly.
"Hmm!"
Zhong Ling responded softly, her pretty face reddening even further.
Jiang Chen glanced at the two Wuliang Sword Sect disciples who were battling. They had only just broken through to the early stage of the Innate Realm.
On the high platform, the man and woman seated there were likely the East Sect Master of the Wuliang Sword Sect, Zuo Zi Mu, and the West Sect Master, Xin Shuang Qing.
To Jiang Chen's disappointment, Zuo Zi Mu and Xin Shuang Qing had not yet reached the Grandmaster Realm, only possessing the cultivation of the late stage of the Innate Realm.
None of the martial artists present had reached the Grandmaster Realm!
Jiang Chen's gaze swept across the courtyard, finally settling on a young man dressed in brocade.
If his guess was correct, this young man in brocade was likely Duan Zheng Chun's "son," Duan Yu, the Prince of Southern Border of Dali.
"Pfft!"
Witnessing the two Wuliang Sword Sect disciples' clumsy duel, Duan Yu, who had seen countless martial arts masters, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"You little brat, how dare you laugh at the swordsmanship of our Wuliang Sword Sect!"
Hearing Duan Yu's mocking laughter, the two Wuliang Sword Sect disciples stopped their duel and glared at Duan Yu angrily.
Even Zuo Zi Mu and Xin Shuang Qing were staring at him with fury!
This young man in brocade was practically slapping the face of their Wuliang Sword Sect!
"Master, I'm willing to spar with this brother!" Gong Guang Jie immediately declared loudly.
"Good! Guang Jie, let him see the might of our Wuliang Swordsmanship!" Zuo Zi Mu roared.
"Yes, Master!"
Gong Guang Jie turned to Duan Yu and said, "Brother, please!"
"Spar?"
Duan Yu opened his folding fan in his hand and fanned it gently, "I don't know martial arts, I won't spar with you."
"Heh…you don't know martial arts?"
Gong Guang Jie sneered and said, "If you don't know martial arts, then why are you mocking our Wuliang Swordsmanship?"
Before his words finished, Gong Guang Jie swung his long sword and thrust it towards Duan Yu.
Gong Guang Jie didn't believe that Duan Yu truly didn't know martial arts. He thought the other party was merely pretending to be weak, and in his rage, he used all his strength without holding back.
Facing Gong Guang Jie's sword, Duan Yu subconsciously dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the blow!
With his sword missing its target, Gong Guang Jie became even angrier, further convinced that Duan Yu was playing him for a fool.
"White Crane Spreading Its Wings!"
Gong Guang Jie reversed his sword, executing a "White Crane Spreading Its Wings," a move that swept upwards from the bottom towards Duan Yu.
The martial arts-ignorant Duan Yu couldn't react in time. The sword, moving from bottom to top, sliced through his crotch.
"Aaah!"
Duan Yu let out a scream, clutching his crotch. Blood flowed continuously from between his fingers.
Seeing this, Gong Guang Jie was instantly dumbfounded!
He had only intended to give Duan Yu a lesson, but he didn't expect that Duan Yu genuinely didn't know martial arts.
Everyone around looked at Gong Guang Jie with disdain.
This fellow was too shameless! He actually ruined someone's happiness for the rest of their life!
"Master!" Gong Guang Jie looked at Zuo Zi Mu with a helpless expression.
"It's fine!" Zuo Zi Mu said in a deep voice.
In Zuo Zi Mu's opinion, all they had to do was pay the other party some silver to pacify him.
"Heh, you've caused a huge disaster, and it's fine? " A mocking voice echoed from above the eaves.
"Who's that?"
Everyone looked towards the source of the voice, only to see a young couple standing on the eaves.
The man was as handsome as a demon, the woman as ethereal as a fairy, giving off an otherworldly charm.
Upon seeing Jiang Chen and Zhong Ling's appearance, everyone was astounded.
Zuo Zi Mu and Xin Shuang Qing frowned slightly. These two young people had likely been on the eaves for a while, but none of those present had noticed them. Clearly, they weren't ordinary individuals.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass on the Wuliang Sword Sect? Get down here!" Gong Guang Jie roared at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen didn't speak, merely giving Gong Guang Jie a cold glance.
Gong Guang Jie felt the icy killing intent in Jiang Chen's eyes, and his entire body felt as if it had plunged into an ice cellar. His legs weakened, and he collapsed onto the ground.
"Senior brother, this is the good disciple you've trained? A single glance and he's scared to the point of collapsing!" Xin Shuang Qing jeered.
Hearing Xin Shuang Qing's mockery, Zuo Zi Mu's face darkened, and he glared at Gong Guang Jie fiercely.
"Who are you? Why are you here uninvited?" Zuo Zi Mu asked loudly.
"Heh, who I am isn't important. Why don't you ask who he is instead?" Jiang Chen pointed at Duan Yu, who was lying on the ground, groaning in pain.
"No matter who he is, defaming the Wuliang Sword Sect is a crime deserving of punishment!" Zuo Zi Mu declared.
"Heh…"
Jiang Chen chuckled lightly and said, "No wonder the Wuliang Sword Sect disciples are a laughingstock. Even the sect master is brainless. What kind of good disciples can they possibly train?"
