Legend of Swordsman

The City Lord of Tiantan, though his strength wasn’t particularly impressive-only slightly stronger than theirs-was still ranked around the thirtieth in the entire Fuhai Ancient Domain.

But his background was exceptional.

No one in the Fuhai Ancient Domain dared to touch him because he hailed from a Holy Land.

Moreover, his connections within the Holy Land were quite strong, which was why, despite his mediocre strength, he could still secure such a lucrative position.

”It’s definitely the Tiantan guy’s token!” Yunhai Protector reminded with a hint of caution.

Guardian Qifeng sneered, ”So what if it is? Do you think he’d actually dare to mess with our Dual-Faced God Palace?”

Though the Tiantan City Lord had a decent background and connections, he was still leagues away from the true powerhouses of the Holy Land.

And Purple Feather Fairy was at best a mere plaything for the Tiantan City Lord.

Could he really fall out with the Dual-Faced God Palace over a mere plaything?

”Brother Yunhai, you’ve already given the other two spots to your own people. If you want to give face to Tiantan, you’ll have to bring one less person inside!” Guardian Qifeng chuckled nastily.

In fact, it wasn’t necessary to take Purple Feather Fairy inside. Just having someone escort her out would suffice.

But Qifeng deliberately said that to dissuade Yunhai Protector from worrying about giving face to the Tiantan City Lord.

He had no face to give the Tiantan City Lord!

Besides, if he killed her here, Tiantan City Lord wouldn’t even know it was his doing.

And considering Purple Feather Fairy and her group snuck into the Dual-Faced God Palace, the logic was on his side.

”Tsk tsk, so you’ve got that guy’s personal token, huh? Seems like you’ve got something going on with him!” Qifeng licked his lips, a wicked smile appearing on his face.

Seeing that her connections couldn’t get her out of this situation, Purple Feather Fairy was completely desperate.

Guardian Qifeng reached out with his greasy hand, gently caressing her smooth, jade-like neck. His dark tongue slithered out as he was about to take a bite when someone stopped him.

This time, his expression changed immediately.

He had been interrupted time and again—if he didn’t get angry, the onlookers would be furious for him.

”Lord Qifeng, could you spare Purple Feather Daoist’s life? She... she is my Dao partner!” Elder Tian Can pleaded cautiously, afraid of provoking the other party.

A Dao partner?

Guardian Qifeng clearly didn’t believe it.

Why didn’t he say so earlier?

Moreover, Purple Feather Fairy had presented the City Lord’s token, clearly marking her as a kept woman of the City Lord’s mansion-likely someone the Tiantan City Lord had already grown tired of.

Elder Tian Can knew this well. However, just moments ago, Purple Feather Fairy had transmitted a message to him, promising that if he pleaded for her, she would belong to him from now on.

This made Elder Tian Can tempted. Despite his fear of death, the allure of Purple Feather Fairy was no small thing.

”Tian Can, you’re a True Immortal of the Five Steps with impressive battle prowess. How could you be interested in her? A woman already worn out by another!” Guardian Qifeng mocked.

Elder Tian Can smiled obsequiously and replied, ”You’re absolutely right, Lord. It’s my lack of discernment that caused me to fall for this woman. But it was still some sort of bond, after all. If you want to take action, you don’t have to consider my face at all!”

Yunhai Protector took a deep breath and shook his head, impatiently saying, ”Enough, it’s just a woman. Spare her life. My people have arrived; let’s get on with the exploration. Once this is done, there are more important things to attend to.”

This was a reminder to Guardian Qifeng not to let minor matters delay the bigger task at hand.

”Fine, I’ll give you face this time!” Guardian Qifeng squeezed Purple Feather Fairy’s soft body before tossing her to Elder Tian Can like a discarded item.

Only two people remained on the field.

Two Universe Masters.

This time, there were no unexpected events.

”Xue He can’t be killed either. Leave him alive so we can deal with Yang Dingtian later!” Protector Yunhai specifically instructed.

Protector Qifeng sneered sinisterly, ”I’m not that stupid!”

With that, he approached Xue He.

”Little one, don’t be afraid. I won’t kill you. As long as you cooperate and tell me all your elder brother’s secrets, and have him send over a supreme treasure, I promise you’ll live more comfortably in the Double-Faced God’s Mansion than out there!” Protector Qifeng

approached step by step.

Xue He’s pupils shrank bit by bit.

The supreme treasure hidden on his body began to operate wildly.

Just as Protector Qifeng got close, Xue He suddenly stood up and shouted with a tearing voice, ”You!!! You will never catch me!!!”

*Buzz!*

Xue He suddenly exploded into action, and a terrifying burst of divine power began to spread.

In the distance, Protector Yunhai’s expression changed. The divine power immediately enveloped both the elderly Tian Can and Zi Yu Immortal, who had been watching the spectacle, pulling them to his side.

He warned, ”Be careful, Qifeng! This kid has a supreme treasure on him!”

Hearing the words ”supreme treasure,” a trace of greed flashed in the old man Tian Can’s

eyes.

Who wouldn’t covet a supreme treasure?

Unfortunately, he didn’t have the strength to fight for it. He had once had the opportunity for

such a treasure, but to stay alive, he had already surrendered everything.

Even if there was a treasure, it would belong to the Double-Faced Buddha.

Next to him, however, Zi Yu Immortal felt a deep sorrow.

She had thought she was doomed to perish, but in the end, Tian Can saved her.

Not out of kindness-she had paid a tremendous price.

If she survived and got out of here, she would be forced to serve Tian Can for the rest of her

life.

The days ahead would likely be even harder than those in the City Lord’s mansion.

Greed.

It was the cause of all of this.

It had all started when Xue He found her to plot against the Ancient Demon Palace, and this

was the result.

They hadn’t even entered the palace, and already half of them were dead or wounded.

At this moment, she glanced at Jian Wushuang, the young man whose sweet talk had caught

her attention. Now, he was scared stiff.

Standing motionless in the corner, his appearance stirred a moment of pity in her.

But there was no saving him!

She was now nothing more than a plaything for Tian Can.

She had no right to negotiate.

Tian Can seemed to have noticed her earlier gaze. He snorted coldly, ”What? You still want to

save that boy?”

”Tian Can, you’ve misunderstood. I only feel like I’ve let everyone down!” Zi Yu Immortal

quickly shook her head.

This was indeed the truth, but ever since Tian Can had narrowly escaped death, his true nature

had been revealed-jealous and mad.

Even a single glance from Zi Yu Immortal could ignite his anger. He raised his hand and

slapped her hard, knocking her to the ground.

”You really are a b***h. I saved your life; I am your god. You will revere me for the rest of your life. From now on, your eyes can only see me, understand?” Tian Can said viciously.

Zi Yu Immortal, lying on the ground, nodded silently, offering no resistance.

This was the price she had to pay.

At this moment, she almost envied Xue He, who was fighting back.

He was actually managing to hold off Protector Qifeng with the help of his supreme treasure.

”This is... the supreme treasure, Ling Nian Bead!” Old Ancestor Xue He exclaimed in surprise. ”Yang Dingtian really treasures his younger brother, giving such a high-level supreme treasure to a mere Universe Master!”

Protector Yunhai was also surprised, frowning as he said, ”Comparing oneself to others is

frustrating. Back when I was a Universe Master, I didn’t even have an Immortal artifact, only a top-grade Origin tool, which I used all the way until I became a True Immortal!”
