Chapter 9
Keeping a Promise

“If we could get the secret from Lin Ping Zhi, wouldn’t it be…”

“You’ve already thought of this, and others have already tried it. However, every one who went to try and take advantage of Lin Ping Zhi was ruthlessly killed by him.”

“You’re saying, it could be because of the Evil-Suppressing Sword Manual?”

“Damn…”

“Damn, you’re right, it’s very possible.”

“Yeah, it’s said that Lin Yuan Tu, the ancestor of the Lin family, used the Seventy-Two Techniques of the Evil-Suppressing Sword Art to make a name for himself in the martial world, which led to the creation of the previous Fuyue鏢局.”

“That’s right. Back then, the previous head of the Qingcheng Sect was defeated by Lin Yuan Tu, so the two sides formed a grudge.”

“The Seventy-Two Techniques of the Evil-Suppressing Sword Art is truly powerful. Lin Ping Zhi also uses swordsmanship, and it seems that it must be because of the Evil-Suppressing Sword Art that he could reach the pinnacle of the Grandmaster realm in such a short time.”

After hearing this, the entire martial world was instantly in an uproar.

One by one, they began to look for Lin Ping Zhi’s whereabouts, all wanting to seize the Evil-Suppressing Sword Manual from him.

They had no idea that Lin Ping Zhi didn’t know anything about the Evil-Suppressing Sword Manual at all.

He didn’t even know if the Evil-Suppressing Sword Manual actually existed. After all, he didn’t know where the manual was or how to cultivate it.

He had gained his current strength by pawning his life at the Wanbaodian.

He also knew that even if he told the truth, no one would believe him. However, these things didn’t matter to him anymore.

With his revenge accomplished, after paying his respects to his parents, Lin Ping Zhi began heading towards Seven Heroes Town. He had to fulfill his promise.

Lin Hao had given him the power to avenge himself, and he naturally had to fulfill his promise.

Now, even if he were to die, he wouldn’t have any regrets.

There was no one left in this world he cared about. Death would be a form of release.

However, what Lin Ping Zhi didn’t know was that because of what he did at the Qingcheng Sect, the entire martial world now had their eyes on him.

When they discovered Lin Ping Zhi was heading towards Seven Heroes Town, they also followed from a distance. They wanted to know why Lin Ping Zhi had become so strong.

Was it really because of the Evil-Suppressing Sword Manual that he had become strong?

Money can’t buy happiness, but for those in the martial world, the most important thing is martial arts. Nothing is more attractive than martial arts.

On Black Wood Cliff, a figure dressed in a long crimson robe sat on a throne, her exquisite face without a single flaw.

Standing in front of her was a man whose whole being emanated a soft and effeminate aura.

These two were none other than the leader of the Sun and Moon Sect, Dongfang Bubai, and Yang Lian Ting.

“Leader, the Qingcheng Sect has been destroyed.” Yang Lian Ting said with a flattering smile.

“Oh? Who did it?” Dongfang Bubai looked at Yang Lian Ting with amusement.

“According to the information, it was Lin Ping Zhi who destroyed the Qingcheng Sect.” Yang Lian Ting hesitated for a moment before speaking.

“Lin Ping Zhi?”

Dongfang Bubai furrowed her brow and thought for a moment, confirming that she had never heard of Lin Ping Zhi.

“Lin Ping Zhi was just an unknown nobody before. However, his father, Leader, should have heard of him. He’s Lin Zhen Nan of the Fuyue镖局.” Yang Lian Ting said.

“Oh? That Lin family who prospered through the Seventy-Two Techniques of the Evil-Suppressing Sword Art?” Dongfang Bubai’s tone held a hint of surprise.

“Yes, that Lin family. However, since Lin Yuan Tu, the ancestor of the family, there hasn’t been anyone who amounted to anything.”

“Lin Zhen Nan was only at the Xiantian realm, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been destroyed by the Qingcheng Sect.”

“His son, Lin Ping Zhi, was also just a Houtian martial artist before. And before that, he was even hunted by the Qingcheng Sect.”

“However, for some unknown reason, he suddenly reached the pinnacle of the Grandmaster realm and wiped out the entire Qingcheng Sect.” Yang Lian Ting’s voice held a hint of disbelief.

“Oh? He suddenly reached the pinnacle of the Grandmaster realm?”

Originally, Dongfang Bubai had no interest in this matter, but she was intrigued when she heard this.

To suddenly gain such powerful strength, to break through two major realms in a row, this was interesting.

She wondered what kind of strange encounter this kid had to have such amazing fortune.

“Interesting, have you found out what kind of encounter this kid had?” Dongfang Bubai’s lips curved upwards as she looked at Yang Lian Ting.

“That, we haven’t found out yet. However, there is some speculation, but I’m not sure if it’s true.” Yang Lian Ting thought for a moment before speaking.

“En? Tell me.” Dongfang Bubai asked curiously.

“It’s like this, according to our investigation. Lin Ping Zhi was hunted down and fled to Seven Heroes Town. After that, he gained the strength of a Grandmaster. So, your subordinate suspects that Lin Ping Zhi’s sudden increase in strength has something to do with Seven Heroes Town.” Yang Lian Ting presented his theory.

“Oh? Seven Heroes Town? Interesting. Such an ordinary little town, and it actually has such a secret?”

“Could it be that the reclusive expert is there?” Dongfang Bubai became even more curious.
