I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

Xu Yan unleashed a sword strike, the Supreme Heavenly Sword Divine Skill!

Whoosh!

Under this single strike, the True King scrambled to defend but still failed to parry the attack and was instantly severely wounded.

Just this one sword strike was enough to make a group of True Kings step back.

"Tell Wan Tianlin, if he wants the Blood Heart Fruit, if he wants to kill me, then come,"

Xu Yan sneered coldly, his figure vanishing from the spot in an instant.

Willing to brave dangers, Wan Tianlin wanted to lure him to go. Xu Yan simply used the Blood Heart Fruit to directly draw Wan Tianlin to him.

With Wan Tianlin's pride, and the backing of the Wan Family, he would surely make an appearance.

"I want to see just how many True Kings from the Wan Family will come to hunt me,"

Xu Yan thought, sneering inwardly.

Even at the peak of True King strength, they still weren't enough to pose a threat to him.

If he wanted to leave, no one could stop him.

Although the Wan Family had an Immortal Heavenly Venerable, he could not easily leave his post and could not leave the area he was anchored to so lightly.

The moment Xu Yan appeared, he immediately caused an uproar in the Dahai Mountain region.

Both the Wan Family and the True King Heavenly Venerables coming from the Thousand Layered Mountain began to make their moves.

"To draw me out to show up, well, I, Wan Tianlin, will go. I want to see what power stands behind you!"

Wan Tianlin sneered coldly.

The Immortal Heavenly Venerable may not be able to leave his seat of power so easily, but the Wan Family's deterrence isn't solely reliant on the Immortal Heavenly Venerable.

Among the True King Heavenly Venerables, there is also a vast disparity in strength.

"The Wan Family is surely set on murder. This person cannot die, we must lead him to the Thousand Layered Mountain. So whatever happens, if he is in danger, we must help him escape at all costs!"

The True King Heavenly Venerables who had come from the Thousand Layered Mountain huddled together and said in a grave tone.

Their task was to lure Xu Yan to the Witch Heavenly Grotto of the Thousand Layered Mountain. If Xu Yan died, how could they complete their mission?

"Xu Yan has shown up. How shall we proceed? Is there any flaw in the plan?"

In another place, within a cave, several masked figures gathered together.

This time they came together, one person was missing—the one with the Ferocious Mask.

Moreover, they all tacitly kept a certain distance from each other, warily watching as if there was a traitor among them.

"We sit back and watch the tigers fight; whether Wan Tianlin dies or Xu Yan dies, the plan will be considered a success,"

one person said.

"What if Xu Yan and Wan Tianlin come to an agreement?"

"What a joke, how can they possibly reach an agreement? Their hatred runs deep,"

"You should know, the enmity between Xu Yan and Wan Tianlin has been instigated by us from behind the scenes. If the plan were to leak, would Wan Tianlin and Xu Yan continue to fight each other?"

For a moment, the cave fell silent.

They all fell silent.

The traitor, from the Earth Shadow embedded within the Wan Family—if the plan leaked...

They dared not think further!

"When will the new Lord Heavenly Slaughter arrive?"

One person broke the silence.

"In the next two or three days, perhaps,"

The previous Lord Heavenly Slaughter, in charge of this area, was killed. Having sent the message up, they were waiting for the arrival of the new Lord Heavenly Slaughter.

"Let's wait until Lord Heavenly Slaughter arrives before we make a decision!"

Eventually, the group made a relatively advantageous decision.

With the situation unclear within the Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow, they couldn't act rashly; otherwise, if there was a problem, it would be easy to become a target!

Within the Dahai Mountain region, a straight and towering Shi Feng stood, with Xu Yan proudly stationed at the peak, waiting for Wan Tianlin's arrival.

He stood so openly, making no effort to conceal his tracks.

"Xu Yan is there. Should we go up and tell him to quickly escape, or tempt him with treasures to go to the Thousand Layered Mountain?"

"Don't reveal yourself. Wait until Xu Yan is in danger, then we can move to assist him. That way, he will surely follow us to the Thousand Layered Mountain."

"Makes sense!"

The True King Heavenly Venerables from the Thousand Layered Mountain were excited at this moment, finally about to complete their mission.

"I, Wan Tianlin, have arrived. Whatever tricks you have, bring them on,"

Three figures arrived, one of them was Wan Tianlin.

The other two, standing to his left and right, were elders whose presences seemed to blend with the Domain, far beyond the comparison to ordinary True King Heavenly Venerable Peaks.

Wan Tianlin had also come directly, not bothering with concealment, making his presence known.

The two clan elders following him were powerful True Kings whose statuses in the Wan Family were revered.

Xu Yan's eyebrows twitched—these two True Kings from the Wan Family were extremely strong!

However, they were still not strong enough to break the defense of the Yin Yang Undying Sword, so there was no need to worry.

He raised his hand, and a Blood Heart Fruit rested in his palm.

"The Blood Heart Fruit you want is here. Whether you can obtain it depends on your abilities, Wan Tianlin!"

Xu Yan said nonchalantly with a smile.

"Good!"

Wan Tianlin took a deep breath, the cold light swept forth like whipped silk. The Spirit Cicada Blade launched, its supple frost edge swept through, rolling towards Xu Yan.

"You're too weak!"

Xu Yan's sword slashed out, its radiance vast and consuming, like a surge of astonishing waves rolling forth, completely suppressing Wan Tianlin's attacks and continuing forward, threatening to submerge Wan Tianlin altogether.

Wan Tianlin was merely at the early stages of True King Heavenly Venerable, and although his strength was top-tier within his level, and much stronger than Shen Kui, he was still somewhat weaker in the face of Xu Yan.

He couldn't pose the slightest threat to him.

Killing Wan Tianlin wouldn't be too difficult.

His eyes shimmering with light, every strike from Wan Tianlin seemed riddled with flaws in Xu Yan's sight.

Every sword strike hit right at the weak points of Wan Tianlin's attacks.

Boom!

Their exchange lasted but an instant before Wan Tianlin had to retreat and avoid the sharp edge, his expression growing extremely solemn.

His heart was greatly shaken. This man seemed younger than him, yet his strength was so formidable. From which power did such a talented individual hail?

Especially his mastery of Sword Dao, which was truly enigmatic and exceptional.

"Young man, considering your decent talent, hand over the Blood Heart Fruit, submit to the Wan Family, and I may spare your life!" Explore more at m,v l'e-NovelBin.net

As Wan Tianlin couldn't withstand Xu Yan's attacks, an elder from the Wan Family stepped forward and spoke with a grave voice.

"Do not speak to me in such a manner, even if you were the Immortal Heavenly Venerable, let alone you not being one."

Xu Yan chuckled dismissively.

"Arrogant!"

Boom!

The Wan Family elder struck out with his hand.

This strike seemed to envelop the aura of heaven and earth, like a colossal hammer coming down.

Hum!

Around Xu Yan, the Yin Yang Undying Sword continuously revolved, displaying the Mountains and Rivers in the Sword.

Boom!

Under the cycle of the Yin Yang Undying Sword, the attack of the Wan Family elder was instantly weakened and then countered back to him.

"What is this!"

The complexion of the Wan Family elder changed as he struck again, with a thunderous boom, blocking the countered attack.

Wan Tianlin's face darkened. This man's martial arts were profound and enigmatic; from which force could he have come?

"Attack together!"

The Wan Family elder took a deep breath, shockingly realizing that by himself, he seemed unable to break through this mysteriously cyclic sword light.

Boom!

Another elder from the Wan Family, with his aura erupting, also prepared to join in the attack.

Just at that moment, several figures flew swiftly towards them.

"The Wan Family has no shame, ganging up on the fewer in number. Your opponent is us!"

Several True King Heavenly Venerables, despite being less powerful, stood their ground with unyielding spirit, bracing for a desperate battle.

"Is it you?"

Wan Tianlin's gaze turned icy cold. "You are indeed in league with each other!"

He recognized them; these were the group of foreign True King Heavenly Venerables who were looking for Xu Yan, seemingly from Thousand Layered Mountain.

Could it be that Thousand Layered Mountain was targeting the Wan Family and Wan Tianlin himself?

"Do not underestimate the Wan Family. They have come prepared this time. Do not be careless, quickly follow me and leave."

A True King Heavenly Venerable arrived in front of Shi Feng and began to speak.

Xu Yan looked surprised. Why were these True King Heavenly Venerables helping him?

True King Heavenly Venerables from the Qinghua realm?

"Who are you?"

Xu Yan asked with a look of astonishment.

"We are here under the orders of a benefactor, tasked with protecting the young master!" the True King Heavenly Venerable said earnestly.

The man was lying!

Xu Yan's brows rose slightly, and as he used the Eye of the Minor Heavenly Path, he began to see the truth.

"Their will is compromised, seduced?"

These True King Heavenly Venerables had their minds controlled and had become servants to another.

Who was targeting him?

Xu Yan's heart tensed as he considered. He had just arrived in the Nine Mountain Realm and had not made any enemies. These True King Heavenly Venerables were not from the Wan Family, either.

Besides the Wan Family, who else could be targeting him?

"The Eye of the Minor Heavenly Path, indeed incredibly wondrous. Without it, I wouldn't have been able to detect their bewitched state and that they had been charmed."

All of a sudden, Xu Yan was taken aback. Charmed? It was a nagging familiarity; the state of these True Kings seemed something he had witnessed before.

"Ice State, the Seductive Witch!"

Xu Yan's heart turned cold; he knew the Seductive Witch hadn't died, for his master had told him so.

Who would have thought that upon his arrival in the Nine Mountain Realm, he would be marked by the Seductive Witch?

"She wants revenge?"

Xu Yan's heart chilled, not daring to be negligent.

How strong the Seductive Witch was remained an uncertainty, and the extent of her power now upon the Nine Mountain Realm was also unknown.
