Double Cultivation
unknown swordsman
By the time the people there realized that the middle-aged man of the Golden Altar Sect was dead, Su Yang was already on his way back to the Hotel where the Blossom Sect was located.
"Te-Old Sect!" The disciples trembled in shock as they slowly moved away from the headless corpse, their expressions filled with disbelief.
They could not believe that the elders of their sect, who were in the Heavenly Spirit Realm, would die so easily. Even if his opponent was a Sword Master, he should not be defeated so easily. It was almost like all his time was spent cultivating to the Heavenly Spirit Realm in vain.
"O-That madman actually killed someone while in a snowy city!"
"And during the biggest event, no less!"
"There are very few Sword masters in this world, It won't take long for the Xie Family to find him!"
Exactly one minute after Su Yang had killed the middle-aged man from the Golden Altar Sect, over ten guards arrived at the scene.
"What's going on here?" The guards immediately restricted the movements of everyone there, only letting them go after they answered a few questions.
"Someone wearing a mask appeared out of nowhere and killed the middle-aged man there …"
"Who are you?" The guards asked the students.
"Se-Sekte the Golden Altar. O-The person who died is an elder of our sect," said one disciple, his voice still trembling.
"The Golden Altar Sect?" The guards were shocked, as they did not expect a powerful force to engage in this, let alone casualties.
"Do you know why you were attacked? Does anyone know who the masked man is?"
The students quickly shook their heads.
"The masked man is a Sword master," said one of the spectators.
"What's? So the sword intent earlier did not come from the sect elder but from the assassin?" The guards thought it was the sect elder at first because of the sword that was still in his grasp, but unfortunately, they were wrong.
After speaking to everyone there and gathering enough information, the guards released everyone there and returned to their own headquarters to relay all the information to their superiors.
"A Sword Master committed a murder in the middle of the city?"
The superiors could hardly believe the news when they first heard it. Why would the Sword Master risk offending the Xie Family? Even if he were to hide his identity with a mask, it would only delay his punishment a little while before the Xie Family found him.

Somewhere in the center of the snow city, one of the many Xie Family residences, was, many experts who had famous traits and strong backgrounds from all over the Eastern Continent gathered in one large room, where a meeting was held with the Xie Family.
"Did you all feel that sword intent just now?" One of the experts there suddenly asked loudly.
"I have fought with several Sword masters in my life, yet I have never felt a Sword Intent as sharp as this before …"
"I also know many Sword Masters. However, the Sword Intent now did not belong to them …"
Since the meeting had just ended, the experts in the room started talking about the Sword Intent Destination that appeared just a moment ago.
As the topic of this mysterious Sword Master grew more and more popular among experts, a middle-aged man with sharp features and black robes around his body spoke loudly, "What do you think about this topic, Senior Zhong?"
The Divine Sword, Master Zhong, who was casually sitting there, turned his head to look at the middle-aged man who had just spoken.
"To be honest, Lord Xie, I have never felt a Sword Intent this strong to this day. It was too sharp and clean. It feels like I feel a real sword" senior Zhong said.
The people in the room looked at him with shocked expressions, even that middle-aged man called Lord Xie was also shocked, who was clearly the head of the Xie Family.
"Are you telling me that you, known as the Divine Sword Master, one of the strongest Swordsmen in this world, feel inferior to anyone who used Sword Intent in my city just now?" Lord Xie looked at Senior Zhong with slightly wide eyes.
"If I can meet this Sword Master now, I will definitely ask for some guidance on swords." Senior Zhong spoke in a sincere voice.
The room instantly became quiet, as no one there expected Senior Zhong to say this openly and honestly, even hoping for guidance from this unknown Sword Master.
The feeling of wanting to meet this Sword Master appeared in the hearts of these experts.
Suddenly, the figure sitting beside Lord Xie muttered, "This Sword Intent .. I've felt it somewhere before …"
"Are you sure about that, my daughter? Can you try to remember where you have sensed this Sword Intent before?" Lord Xie turned to ask his daughter, Xie Xingfang.
Xie Xingfang nodded and closed his eyes, holding his head trying to recall where he had sensed this sword intent before.
A moment later, Xie Xingfang's eyes opened, and his eyes flickered with a dazzling light. "Sir senior Xiao!"
Lord Xie looked at Xie Xingfang with a frown.
"Sir senior Xiao? Who's that?" Lord Xie wasted no time in asking her, especially after realizing that he was talking about a man.
"He ... He's my reason for where I am today ..." Xie Xingfang's gaze flickered with deep emotion as he spoke of senior brother Xiao.
After parting with Su Yang in the Thunder Valley, Xie Xingfang had developed the Immortal-grade technique that Su Yang had imparted to him in earnest, and it had greatly affected his cultivation ever since.
However, this was something that only Xie Xingfang knew, as he did not tell anyone about his meeting with Su Yang, either, or about the Immortal-grade technique he gave her – even to his own family.
"I can't understand anything from that, can you explain it?" Lord Xie asked him again.
"Although I can't explain the details, the growth of my cultivation over the past few months wouldn't have been possible if I hadn't met him .." Xie Xingfang said with a smile.
"…" Lord Xie narrowed his eyes at his mysterious smile, his gaze filled with suspicion and a hint of surprise, as he had never witnessed his daughter act like this before.
