The territory of the Divine Sword Palace was on the sacred mountain of cultivation, within the borders of the Long Dynasty Sun Prefecture.
Under the sunset light.
On a flat expanse of land in the middle of the mountain.
A ferocious purple flying sword flashed and revolved in the air, as fast as lightning, and flickered. It threw out a streak after barrage of dazzling purple sword qi.
The delicate and slender figure of the young lady appeared within the layers of the illusionary sword.
She was wearing a simple dress, and her hair was tied up. Her face was incomparably beautiful, like a fairy or an immortal being.
This is none other than Shuoxue.
Swoshis!
After a while, the young lady stretched out her hand and gestured.
Instantly, the purple flying sword blurred into a streak of light that flowed and landed on his palm.
The sword shadows that were originally twinkling and layering disappeared silently.
Shuoxue exhaled a long breath of turbid air, then stared at the sunset light. He stood there in a melancholy silence.
"It has been three months and twelve days since Big Brother Feng left the Great Long Empire…
When he left, the ground was still hard, and everything was still covered in snow. But now, spring has begun. The clumps grew, the birds chirped, and everything was vibrant with new life. Even the flowers growing along the cliff were very bright…"
'I just. I just don't know when he'll be back.'
He stood there in silence for a while. Then, just as he was about to leave …
A serious voice suddenly sounded from far away.
"Shuox."
Shuoxue turned her head and saw a dark-robed middle-aged man walking towards her.
This was the leader of the Divine Sword Palace, Yuan Jiuzhen.
"Master Sect, do you have any business with me?" shuoxue.
“I'm here to discuss something with you,” Yuan Jiuzhen said, he looks a little uncomfortable.
"From today on, you must not leave the Divine Sword Palace."
He sighed, then continued, “Actually, not only you, this is also true for your Martial Uncle and junior sister Tianba. Starting today, you should not take even half a step from the mountain.”
Shuoxue's brows fused together, "Master Sect, what does this mean?"
After a moment of silence, Yuan Jiuzhen said, "Feng Zun has appeared."
Feng Zun's!
Shuoxue's eyes sparkled, but a moment later, she sensed that something was amiss, "Master Sect, don't tell me the Guodong Family intends to use me to threaten her?"
Yuan Jiuzhen shook his head, “I won't say that. They have ordered you, your teacher, and Tianba to stay on the mountain just because they hope Feng Zun, will show his own will to end the grudge between him and the Guodong Family
Shuoxue's expression changed dramatically, “Isn't this like a threat?”
Yuan Jiuzhen looked conflicted, “Shuoxue, The Guodong Family will not hurt you. They really only did this in order for Feng Zun to appear of his own volition, but I can guarantee that even though Feng Zun did not appear, they will not touch you."
As he said this, his expression was filled with confidence.
Shuoxue scoffed, “Master Sect, The Guodong Family has effectively put us under house arrest. When Feng Zun found out about this, how could he not appear?”
He was angry, and it was clearly visible on his face.
Shuoxue instantly fell silent.
An indescribable sense of helplessness permeated his heart.
That's when they heard footsteps in the distance.
Footsteps are not rushed or slow, and they touch the ground with a characteristic rhythm.
It was as if each step had the exact same distance, without the slightest mistake.
Shuoxue and Yuan Jiuzhen turned their heads and saw a tall figure approaching under the misty twilight light.
He was a young man in worn hemp clothes, and he carried a heavy bronze sword box on his back, his features angled and clear.
His aura was solid as iron.
His aura was as heavy as a sword.
Guodong Feng's!
He was the most dazzling figure of the younger generation of the Guodong Family, a monster from ancient times with a battle power that defied the heavens.
He ranked seventh in the Star Ranking.
This was none other than the man who, not too long ago, single-handedly suppressed the entire Divine Sword Palace!
“I guarantee none of you will be harmed in any way,” Guodong Feng said calmly.
His voice was not loud, but it had a strength that aroused confidence.
Yuan Jiuzhen laughed, "Young Master, now that we have heard it directly, we don't need to worry."
The Divine Sword Palace's leader had a respectful expression on his face.
However, Shuoxue furrowed her brows and said coldly, “If you really want to avenge your sister, go and challenge Feng Zun openly. Don't use me to threaten him.”
Guodong Feng paused for a moment, then said, “I just received word that Feng Zun has agreed to visit the Divine Sword Palace. I believe that the man with his character will not disavow his words."
Feng Zun is on his way here!?
Shuoxue's heart trembled, and the look on her beautiful face turned erratic.
How could he fail to realize what this meant? Feng Zun definitely chose to come here despite knowing Divine Sword Palace, had been occupied by the Guodong Family because he was worried about his safety.
He was very angry and worried.
Guodong Feng looked at him and said, “Nona Shuoxue, if you feel threatened, please leave the Divine Sword Palace now. You can take your teacher and Tianba with you. I guarantee no one will try to stop you."
Shuoxue froze, and she barely dared to believe her ears, "You're really going to let us go?"
Guodong Feng remained as calm as before, "Miss Shuoxue, do you think I am the type of person who likes to retract my words?"
Shuoxue shook her head.
It was true that Guodong Feng single-handedly conquered their entire sect, but even he had to admit that he was wise and generous.
With the character he had, he hated to use such despicable tactics.
In other words, he might just be an enemy, but he was an enemy worthy of respect.
I've delivered it to all our experts here.” said Guodong Feng. "Miss Shuoxue, you can go whenever you want."
After saying his part, he was just about to leave, but Shuoxue suddenly said, "I won't go!"
It seemed like he had already made up his mind, "I'll wait until Feng Zun arrives here, then leave here with him."
