Chapter 149: Chapter 142 Sword Intent

In a daze, Yan Qingge still gripped the sword. Although the gap between them was enormous, she wouldn’t sit still and wait for death.

However, when Yan Qingge barely turned around, she found nothing behind her but swaying green mugwort grass.

The intense pain in Yan Qingge’s mind slowly dissipated, and a piece of High-Tier Secret Technique of the Flying Swallow Sword appeared in her sea of consciousness, along with a strand of ineffable and exquisite Sword Intent.

Could the other party truly harness the Sword Intent?

Yan Qingge was greatly shocked upon sensing this strand of Sword Intent. Although she had suspected it before, truly confirming it left her even more frightened.

Could this Blood Shadow actually be a Silver Sword Hero?

Yan Qingge even forgot to study the Flying Swallow Sword Secret Technique. She stayed in place for a while before recovering from the shock.

If Blood Shadow is a Silver Sword Hero, everything could be explained.

Yan Qingge snapped back to reality and only then did she have the mind to study the Secret Technique in her sea of consciousness.

This segment of the Secret Technique was intricately linked to the Flying Swallow Sword, clear in logic and layered. It must be the High-Tier Secret Technique of the Flying Swallow Sword, for sure.

Yan Qingge, although she had never seen it before, could confirm, based on her learning, that what Blood Shadow provided was genuine.

The ending of this Secret Technique had four words: Keep it confidential.

After thinking for a moment, Yan Qingge understood that this was Blood Shadow warning her to keep the secret and not to reveal his level of Power to anyone.

Yan Qingge wanted to discuss it with Yan Qingfeng but was afraid of Blood Shadow finding out, leaving her indecisive.

When she returned to Yuanlong Mansion, Yan Qingfeng was waiting for her in his room.

“How did it go?”

Yan Qingge sat dazed on a chair. She glanced at Yan Qingfeng’s smartwatch and then whispered, “The transaction went smoothly.”

She thought for a moment and said, “Blood Shadow seemed very unhappy with me wearing a smartwatch and destroyed it with a strike.”

Yan Qingfeng didn’t think much of it; he comforted her by saying, “Since the other party is an Assassin, it’s normal to be wary of electronic devices.”

He asked with concern, “The Secret Technique?”

“Got it, definitely authentic.”

Yan Qingge said, “I’ll be in seclusion for cultivation in the coming days.”

Yan Qingfeng nodded and said, “Focus on your cultivation, I’ll handle matters outside.”

Yan Qingge hesitated a bit but still reminded, “Blood Shadow is mysteriously unfathomable; don’t act rashly, brother.”

“Don’t worry,”

Yan Qingfeng said with a laugh, “I’m not done living, I definitely won’t provoke Blood Shadow.”

The conversation between the Yan siblings was all monitored by Yan Miao, and Yan Liu and others were also listening in.

Once the Yan siblings parted, Yan Miao asked Yan Liu for instructions, “Sixth Master, what’s the next step?”

Yan Liu thought for a moment and said, “Keep monitoring the siblings, don’t let up. When it’s time for the transaction of the Dimensional Silver Mirror, we’ll contact again.”

After closing the communication, Yan Liu couldn’t help but sigh.

“This Blood Shadow, truly cunning…”

Just now, if Yan Qingge’s watch could scan Blood Shadow, they could have issued a wanted order. But missing by just a little, Yan Qingge’s watch was destroyed.

Beside him, Zhu Hong said nonchalantly, “Doesn’t matter, Blood Shadow will show up sooner or later. By then, with the wanted order and the Soul-Seeking Bow, where can he escape to?”

The Soul-Seeking Bow, a marvel with a special ability for guaranteed hits. It is unbeatable when used in conjunction with a wanted order.

This is part of Yan Family’s deep resources, enabling them to bring out such a marvel combination.

Yan Liu nodded, “Blood Shadow is extremely cunning. During this time, we’ll stay put and must not go out, to avoid alerting Blood Shadow to anything unusual…”

The wanted order has a limited range, so these people can only gather together to avoid being discovered by Blood Shadow.

While they were talking, they were completely unaware that Gao Xuan was listening next door.

Gao Xuan, using his Spirit Projection Avatar, was able to hide his Power more covertly. If he were to unfold a spiritual web and wander far and wide, his spiritual fluctuations would easily be detected by experts.

The Spirit Projection Avatar, on the other hand, allows the use of various exquisite techniques and transformations. In this sense, the Spirit Projection Avatar elevated Gao Xuan’s capabilities by a large tier.

Gao Xuan listened through the wall for a while and roughly understood the origins and purpose of this group.

He retracted his Spiritual Power, letting the projection avatar dissipate silently, leaving no trace.

This group led by Yan Liu, with marvels in hand and decent martial skills, could be quite useful. It shouldn’t be wasted.

Gao Xuan wandered spiritually, dealing with things outside. Yet, it didn’t affect him drinking and singing with his classmates.

Under Jiang Xuejun’s organization, everyone came to the BBQ restaurant under the pretense of celebrating Gao Xuan’s achievement, and all the students from Class 08 came.

Over fifty people filled the barbecue restaurant; the chefs responsible for the grilling were busy with sweat pouring down as they couldn’t keep up with so many people.

Fortunately, the group’s spirits were high, and they didn’t care what they were eating. Everyone grabbed bottles and drank heartily.

As the central figure, Gao Xuan received warm toasts from all his classmates.

Tonight, Gao Xuan indeed brought honor to the school and made the freshmen of the class of 08 proud.

Having such a classmate made everyone feel honored.

The atmosphere was so lively that a group of young people couldn’t control their emotions.

Gao Xuan welcomed everyone with open arms, and after a wild drinking session, only Yun Qingshang and Qingyi Fei Niao remained relatively sober.

A man like Xu Lingyun was already sprawling beneath the table.

Even Jiang Xuejun was drinking so much that her feet were wobbly and she couldn’t stand straight.

Fortunately, this was the school campus, and a few automatic robots were called to escort everyone back to their dormitories one by one.

Jiang Xuejun was reluctant to leave, tugging on Gao Xuan’s sleeve saying, “Why leave, I haven’t drunk enough yet. If you have a heart, stay and drink with me.”

“You drank too much.”

Gao Xuan gently released Jiang Xuejun’s hand, having Qingyi Fei Niao send her back to the dormitory.

Actually, Jiang Xuejun didn’t live at school, and Qingyi Fei Niao’s room was spacious enough, so she directly took Jiang Xuejun back to her dorm.

Jiang Xuejun lay on the bed and complained, “Gao Xuan is really unrighteous, even drinking isn’t satisfying.”

Qingyi Fei Niao used a warm towel to wipe Jiang Xuejun’s face, “Sister Xuejun, you’ve had too much, get some rest.”

Jiang Xuejun shook her head vigorously, “I didn’t drink too much, I’m clear-headed. Gao Xuan isn’t a good guy. If he treated me better, I’d be with him ages ago. But he insists on finding an old woman!”

The more Jiang Xuejun spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, and tears welled up.

Qingyi Fei Niao felt a bit awkward, unsure how to comfort Jiang Xuejun.

She didn’t approve of Gao Xuan and Bai Yutang’s relationship either, but she wasn’t in any position to oppose it.

Suddenly, Jiang Xuejun grabbed Qingyi Fei Niao’s hand, “Little Bird, you like Gao Xuan too, don’t you?”

Qingyi Fei Niao was startled, her round face flushed red instantly, and she stammered defensively, “Sister Xuejun, I don’t…”

Jiang Xuejun interrupted Qingyi Fei Niao, “Gao Xuan is so handsome, so interesting, and so skilled, who wouldn’t like him? The difference is only in how much they like him…”

Having spoken her heart out, Jiang Xuejun felt a sense of relief and soon fell asleep with her eyes closed.

Qingyi Fei Niao, however, couldn’t sleep; Jiang Xuejun’s words had brought her innermost thoughts to light.

Indeed, what girl wouldn’t like Gao Monarch? The difference is only in how much they like him.

But, Gao Xuan has Yun Qingshang, Bai Yutang, Wei Zhenzhen, Jiang Xuejun, Xu Yin, and many others who love him.

Qingyi Fei Niao knows clearly that she has no advantage compared to the beauties around Gao Xuan. So she had given up on fantasies early on.

Just being able to follow Gao Xuan and see his sunshine-like smile was already enough.

The Sword Dao is her true companion.

Qingyi Fei Niao held the Yin Yang Sword, suddenly feeling an unprecedented sense of peace and solidity. No matter what, she always has the sword to keep her company.

The Yin Yang Sword seemed to sense Qingyi Fei Niao’s thoughts, emitting a gentle sword cry.

Qingyi Fei Niao felt as if she and the dual swords had merged. The dual swords were her hands, her heart, her spirit.

This feeling of harmony was so spiritually moving.

Qingyi Fei Niao hovered between wake and sleep, entering a profound mysterious state.

While accompanying Yun Qingshang for a stroll in the campus, Gao Xuan sensed the change in Qingyi Fei Niao’s aura and stopped walking.

Yun Qingshang didn’t have Gao Xuan’s profound perception and didn’t know what was happening, but she naturally stopped with him.

She stood silently by Gao Xuan’s side, not asking anything.

For her, it was only natural to be wherever Gao Xuan was.

After a while, sensing that the aura around Qingyi Fei Niao had become more harmonious, Gao Xuan said to Yun Qingshang, “The Little Bird has leveled up, more impressively, she’s cultivated a Sword Spirit. Truly a gifted prodigy.”

Yun Qingshang nodded slightly, but didn’t care. Qingyi Fei Niao becoming a Golden Powerhouse had nothing to do with her.

“The two of us have taken the shortcut. Especially you, you’ve sprinted to Level 10, while the foundation is solid, the journey has been too fast. You must quickly assimilate your power…”

When together with Yun Qingshang, Gao Xuan mostly discussed cultivation.

Gao Xuan’s thought is simple, a person must have enough power to live well.

Power is the foundation of everything. His relationship with Yun Qingshang is bound by life itself, so there’s no need for sweet talk between them.

Only quick improvement in power is practical.

Yun Qingshang said, “My power is steadily increasing, in another month, I’ll be able to fully control it.”

“Be prepared, we will soon face a significant battle.”

Gao Xuan said calmly, “Only by winning this battle do we have the right to continue living.”

After a moment of silence, Yun Qingshang suddenly asked, “Does it have something to do with Bai Yutang?”

Gao Xuan was somewhat surprised, “Why do you think so?”

Yun Qingshang whispered, “You’re too close to Bai Yutang.”

Gao Xuan gently touched Yun Qingshang’s cheek, “I’m not that calculating. Some things are just unclear to anyone…”

A hint of melancholy appeared on Gao Xuan’s face, and he said no more.

Yun Qingshang seemed to understand, she didn’t say anything, merely held Gao Xuan’s hand tightly.
