Chapter 996: Chapter 992: Discovery

With his Super Sense, he located Song Lianshuang.

Not in her small courtyard, but in a martial arts training ground practicing.

A circle of greenish soil shaped the martial arts training ground, about more than two hundred meters in diameter.

At first glance, it seemed like it was on lush green grass.

Clusters of Great Heavenly Demon Palace disciples were sparring, some practicing alone.

More than fifty disciples, over thirty male and over twenty female.

Song Lianshuang was alone, practicing the Song Family’s swordsmanship, light and elegant.

She was inherently beautiful, and her swordsmanship was graceful and enchanting; combined, she was even more unparalleled in charm.

Among the female disciples on the training ground, there were no plain ones, and quite a few were stunning beauties, yet none could compare to her.

Her beauty lay not only in form but also in spirit.

Leng Tieya appeared in the training ground, standing by and watching, which drew glares from the surrounding disciples.

The difference between Inner Palace disciples and Outer Palace disciples was in the token.

The residences on both sides were different and not connected; no special marks were needed.

After watching a few moves, he suddenly drew his sword, and the sword light turned into a white streak shooting toward her.

She wielded her sword to meet the attack.

”Swoosh... Swoosh... Swoosh... Swoosh...”

”Woooo... Woooo... Woooo... Woooo...”

The sound of the swords whistling echoed, the clash of sword auras producing a tearing sound like ripping silk, somewhat piercing to the ear.

In the vast training ground, there were quite a few sparring matches, but none so grand.

The sword light cast by Leng Tieya transformed into a smooth white streak, easily entangling Song Lianshuang.

Song Lianshuang, like a cocooned silkworm, felt deeply the sensation Meng Qi had once experienced.

The endless entanglement invoked a nameless despair, making one want to submit willingly.

Leng Tieya’s expression was stern, with a tense face, as if he had a feud with Song Lianshuang, causing the surrounding disciples to frown.

Two young men approached, gripping their sword hilts, eager to intervene.

Leng Tieya said, ”Sister Song, your realm has improved, but your swordsmanship hasn’t kept up.”

”Yes, the foundation is not very stable,” Song Lianshuang said.

She also felt that her swordsmanship was not as smooth as it should be, always a little lacking.

This requires time to polish, but now, under Leng Tieya’s strict pressure, she pushed herself to her limits, much faster than practicing alone.

Leng Tieya always controlled his strength, pushing her to her limits but not beyond.

Soon, white steam rose from Song Lianshuang’s head, her jade face flushed as if intoxicated, her breath becoming heavy.

The two eager young disciples felt as if doused by cold water.

Clearly, the two had a deep relationship, and they realized they were overthinking it.

The gazes around them darted over, but Leng Tieya did not mind.

He intended to make their relationship known.

To prevent any unwarranted thoughts.

He believed that no matter where, there was no paradise, only the martial world.

After a quarter of an hour, Song Lianshuang wearily sheathed her sword.

Leng Tieya’s sword tip rested at her throat before sheathing it.

She touched her snowy neck.

The sword tip was withdrawn just a finger’s width away, the chill still raising goosebumps on her throat, her hair standing on end.

She steadied her breath and smiled, ”Brother Leng, have you settled in so quickly?”

”There aren’t many people over there; it’s not as lively as here,” Leng Tieya said, glancing around and smiling.

Meeting pairs of curious and inquisitive eyes.

Seeing his gaze, they did not back down, instead becoming more curious.

Leng Tieya smiled and nodded, warm and friendly.

There was no need to be cold-faced with these Outer Palace disciples; rather, he could be a bit more amiable.

His overwhelming strength ensured their respect without needing to do more.

One of the two young men from earlier spoke, ”Is this junior brother new here?”

Song Lianshuang said, ”Senior Brother Meng, this is Leng Tieya, Brother Leng, who entered the palace with me.”

”Leng Tieya from Zhongyun City?” the young man blurted out.

Leng Tieya said with a smile, ”It seems I already have some fame.”

”Forgive my rudeness,” the young man said, clasping his fist with admiration, ”I did not expect to meet you so soon, Junior Brother Leng. We greatly admire you.”

Not part of the Demon Clan, they did not understand the difficulty of reaching the Great Heavenly Demon as deeply as they did.

As part of the Heavenly Demon clan, they knew best how hard it was to reach the Great Heavenly Demon.

So seeing Leng Tieya reach it at such a young age, they were deeply envious and greatly amazed.

Leng Tieya saw the surrounding Heavenly Demons looked like they wanted to come over to ask questions, so he exchanged a few pleasantries and gave Song Lianshuang a meaningful look.

Song Lianshuang led him away.

They left the training ground together and headed towards Song Lianshuang’s courtyard, chatting along the way.

”Why don’t I see Third Young Master Song?”

”Him...” Song Lianshuang said helplessly, ”He’s already gone into seclusion.”

Leng Tieya raised an eyebrow.

Song Lianshuang said, ”This time he was provoked, so he’s gone into seclusion for intense training, aiming to reach the Great Heavenly Demon quickly.”

”Haste makes waste; this way, it’ll actually be slower.”

”Slower?”

Leng Tieya said, ”He’s probably shaken up seeing you come in, reaching the same realm as him, and can’t handle the provocation, leading to an unbalanced mental state.”

Song Lianshuang sighed helplessly, ”Sigh... that’s probably it.”

She was powerless against this and couldn’t very well advise him to take it easy and go slow.

”In such circumstances, it’s not suitable to immerse oneself in cultivation. It’s better to gain some merit outside.”

”Joining the operation against the Ghost Bone Sect?”

”Best not go,” Leng Tieya gently shook his head, ”The Ghost Bone Sect is very dangerous; my intuition feels bad.”

Song Lianshuang was curious, ”The Ghost Bone Sect has already been eradicated; it’s just remnants. Can they really stir up trouble?”

Leng Tieya said, ”I’m curious too about what trump card the Ghost Bone Sect has.”

”Aren’t you going, Brother Leng?” Song Lianshuang said, ”It’s said that cultivating in the Demon Abyss accelerates progress rapidly, especially for First Grade Heavenly Demons and Great Heavenly Demons.”

”I’d rather not,” Leng Tieya was unwilling to take the risk.

Though it was a clone, it had been hard to reach this point, and it was unwise to waste this body.

Song Lianshuang nodded gently, ”I’ll advise Third Brother.”

Leng Tieya smiled, ”Then I’ll head to Wanxiang Hall.”

”Thank you, Brother Leng,” Song Lianshuang said, ”I’ll come along and have a look too.”

She understood why Leng Tieya had come over specifically.

To show the surrounding senior brothers and sisters that there was a Great Heavenly Demon from the Inner Palace standing behind her.

Leng Tieya and she turned towards Wanxiang Hall, a magnificent Bronze Hall.

...

As expected, Wanxiang Hall had a simple yet solid internal structure, with rows of bookshelves.

Filled with layers of secret manuals and records, along with some travel notes and miscellaneous books.

He skimmed over these secret records, but the catalog of various curiosities captured his serious attention.

Especially when he reviewed the records of the Ghost Bone Sect, he wanted to clarify what he had Insight into.

To locate the source of danger and clear his mind.

Moreover, he wanted to understand the origins of the Demon World and the nature of the Demon Abyss.

Song Lianshuang, on the other hand, picked a martial arts secret record to study, with only a few Heavenly Demons in the entire Wanxiang Hall.

Song Lianshuang suddenly approached Leng Tieya, handing him the martial arts secret record she held.

Leng Tieya took it, glanced at the cover, and saw it was a Qinglan Secret Record, written by a Heavenly Demon Xu Qinglan.

Leng Tieya hadn’t heard of this name, but since Song Lianshuang brought it over, it was surely worth a look.

He then looked up at Song Lianshuang.

Song Lianshuang whispered, ”As mentioned in this, the Ghost Bone Sect might originate from the Demon Clan.”

Leng Tieya raised his eyebrow.

Song Lianshuang said, ”Isn’t this statement incorrect? How can the Demon Clan capture our Demon Abyss aura?”

Leng Tieya nodded slightly.

Song Lianshuang lightly furrowed her dark brows, ”But this Xu Qinglan was an impressive figure, a top Great Heavenly Demon.”

Leng Tieya raised his eyebrows, ”Very impressive?”

”The Xu Family in Yu Yun City was founded by this Xu Qinglan, so we must take this statement seriously.”

”How many years ago was this Xu Qinglan figure?”

”About five thousand years ago, and it’s unknown whether he has not yet reincarnated.”

”The Demon Clan...” Leng Tieya pondered.

If it were indeed the Demon Clan, it would definitely involve highly secret matters.

The Demon Clan and the Demon Clan have been killing each other; letting the Demon Clan infiltrate would be a huge disgrace for the Demon Clan.
