Sword Spirit

Chapter 173: Unparalleled Empire

Elder Fan suddenly exploding out with such qi aura immediately deterred the audience, especially with those dozens of sword lights hanging above his head, constantly flashing, which caused the six great elders to simply not dare to act frivolously.

Drops of sweat quietly appeared on Elder Yu’s forehead. Although he had reached the spirit refining intermediate stage, it still was only having just entered spirit refining fifth level. How could he be a five star spirit runemaster’s opponent. The match right now proved it. A Ten Thousand Sword Rune appeared immediately defeating six combined people. If he knew that Elder Fan had already become a five star spirit runemaster, he wouldn’t ask for trouble and lose face for no reason.

Truthfully, Elder Fan becoming a five star spirit runemaster was also only something that happened two months ago. Also, one of the biggest reasons for Elder Fan’s sudden breakthrough was Lu Xuan, that was to say, Lu Xuan’s Wild Explosion Rune.

It was only a mere intermediate level enchantment rune, to a level of existence like Elder Fan, it couldn’t be considered much, but in this rune contained the Ancient Enchantment Technique’s ideas and essence and had been carefully studied by Elder Fan for a period of time. The bottleneck he had been stuck up was suddenly broken and thus he successfully became a five star spirit runemaster. This was also a reason why he took Lu Xuan’s matters so personally.

Elder Yu squeezed out a smile: “Enchantment Hall’s strength is indeed extraordinary. Since Lu Xuan is Enchantment Hall’s person, then I naturally must give Elder Fan some face. However, the seven dead disciples, if they’re just resolved like that, it’s neither emotionally nor logically suitable. I’d like to ask Elder Fan to have Lu Xuan come out and give an explanation and the current matter’s can be laid to rest.”

Hearing this, Elder Cheng and the others released a breath of relief. Obviously, Elder Yu had given up. Just an Elder Fan was more than they were able to deal with. And in the entire Enchantment Hall, there were at least a dozen four star or more spirit runemasters, and there was the even stronger Hallmaster Chen Mo. Although Chen Mo wasn’t currently in the sect, but once he came back and asked for accountability, he absolutely couldn’t afford it.

Even if he made a fuss up to the sect master, an enormous Enchantment Hall against a blade faction great elder, most likely anyone would know how to choose. Being taken down for a mere Xu Wen Yang was truly not worth it. Moreover, Xu Wen Yang was already dead and didn’t have any value.

“Because of your persecution, Lu Xuan has long since already left the Wind Sword Sect, life and death currently unknown. How can I turn him over to you. This old man came over because of that. However, since he has already left, then this matter can be put to rest. I also won’t pursue the matter of Lu Xuan’s persecution. You guys should also no longer thinking about finding trouble with him. If I am informed that you take any private actions in the future, don’t blame my Enchantment Hall for attacking full force.”

Occupying the absolute advantage, Elder Fan’s words began becoming a bit impolite, directly bringing out the Enchantment Hall, undisguisedly pressuring people.

Having said this, he looked again at Lin Xin Yi and said: “There’s also junior niece Lin. Don’t even think about it. This old man promise Lu Xuan to guarantee her absolute safety. If she’s missing even half a hair, the face hit will be this old man’s face. At that time, hmph, hmph!”

Elder Fan’s threatening manner was very apparent. This was the advantage brought about by powerful strength. It was similarly in order to protect Lu Xuan. If the sword faction’s three great spoke up it absolutely wouldn’t happen, but Elder Fan had a bit of logic and strength so he succeeded. If the Hallmaster personally acted, then it wouldn’t need any logic or action, a word would have accomplished the matter.

Hearing Elder Fan say that Lu Xuan had already left Wind Sword Sect, and his life or death unknown, Elder Yu was secretly delighted inwardly. To be able to force Lu Xuan away could also be considered as good news. As for Lin Xin Yi, he didn’t have any designs on pursuing further action against her. He had only wanted to grab Lin Xin Yi back for Lu Xuan.

And now Elder Fan had made it clear that they weren’t allowed to act against Lu Xuan, so they wouldn’t need to look to bother Lin Xin Yi again.

Currently, Elder Fan had pulled the Enchantment Hall out, adding on Lu Xuan was already no longer in the Wind Sword Sect, Elder Yu didn’t have the mind to continue this stalemate. He said: “Since it’s so, then these matters can be cut short, however, our disciples, I’m hoping that Elder Fan can raise your hand in high mercy and let them go?”

Hearing this, Elder Fan gave a large wave of a hand. The strength of the binding on the disciples’ bodies immediately disappeared. Since the blade and fist faction’s gave up the mission of pursuing Lu Xuan, then he naturally also had to give a plum in return for a peach. After all, with all said, this time Lu Xuan indeed had mistakes. The reason why the blade and fist factions weren’t chasing was also because he had put out the Enchantment Hall’s strength, only then did they give up.

(TN: Return a favor with a favor)

The matters at hand finally came to a close. The blade and fist faction elders brought their groups of disciples away, but Elder Sun’s eyes obviously had a bit of unwillingness. To the blade faction, it was only a death of a favored disciple. To him, it was the death of his beloved grandson.

Only, circumstances were stronger than men. Facing Elder Fan’s pressure, he didn’t have the power to counter him. Even if he tried his luck, most likely the other elders of the blade and fist factions toss aside their relations with him so as not to get into trouble.

Seeing the two faction’s people all leaving, Elder Fan only then rescinded the five star spirit rune Ten Thousand Sword Rune. After all, continually maintaining a spirit rune wasn’t a small consumption of spirit power for him.

Elder Cheng walked forward and bowed to Elder Fan: “This time’s matter, many thanks to Elder Fan for acting, otherwise, the blade and fist factions definitely would not let this case go.”

Elder Fan smiled: “No need for these words. Lu Xuan’s matters are naturally also my Enchantment Hall’s matters. Showing my head for him is justifiable.”

Elder Cheng then laughed and once again asked Elder Fan to sit. With the relations with Lu Xuan as a bridge builder, it was an opportunity to build good relations with the Enchantment Hall. He naturally couldn’t pass it by.

And on the other side, Lin Xin Yi was gratefully saying to Chen Xiao Han: “Xiao Han, I have to thank you so much for this time. If you hadn’t asked for Elder Fan to act, they wouldn’t have let Lu Xuan go so easily.”

Although Elder Fan had verbally said he accepted Lu Xuan’s entrustment, but Lin Xin Yi clearly knew that it was because Chen Xiao Han had asked Elder Fan to act. Lu Xuan had only handed the responsibility to her.

Chen Xiao Han waved her hands: “No need for thanks, no need for thanks. Lu Xuan’s matter naturally are my matters. But what’s unfortunate is that if I had known earlier that Grandpa Fan could get things done, then Lu Xuan wouldn’t have had to leave earlier.”

Hearing Chen Xiao Han’s words, Lin Xin Yi smiled slightly and didn’t say any more. She currently only wished that Lu Xuan could be safe outside, that in half a year later at the great sect competition, she would be able to see him again.

Seeing Lin Xin Yi didn’t have any signs of being angry, Chen Xiao Han was a bit doubtful. She had just been talking like that in order to show off her relation with Lu Xuan. He had originally assumed Lin Xin Yi would be at least a bit unhappy. She hadn’t thought that there wouldn’t be any reaction at all.

She couldn’t help but ask: “Elder sister Lin, are you not angry at all, not jealous?”

“Of course I’m jealous, ah, but so what? Since the time I chose Lu Xuan, I had long since prepared my heart. Such a splendid man like him, how could I be the only one who likes him? The number of women more excellent than me isn’t small. For example, you are the Enchantment Hall Hallmaster’s daughter. My identity can’t even compare. In the future, perhaps there will be a girl with an even higher identity that likes him. If I continually get angry and jealous, then won’t that be me just finding trouble for myself? Thus, as long as I like him and he likes me, that’ll be enough.”

(TN: Foreshadowing?)

Lin Xin Yi’s speech was spoken very naturally. The first reason was because the Sky Sword Continent’s customs were so. Powerful experts having three wives and four concubines wasn’t anything strange. The second reason was also because she loved Lu Xuan deeply, otherwise, which woman didn’t wish that her man could love her single-mindedly?

However, comparing a man who lover her single-mindedly, she would rather choose herself to single-mindedly love Lu Xuan. Of course, more importantly, she knew that Lu Xuan loved her.

“Elder sister Lin, you’re really a foolish girl!” Chen Xiao Han criticized mercilessly, but then she added on a sentence: “However, you’re also a good girl If I was Lu Xuan, I would definitely also like you.”

Chen Xiao Han’s straightforward words made were funny in Lin Xin Yi’s ears. Did this girl really take her as a love rival?

The current Chen Xiao Han naturally didn’t know what Lin Xin Yi was thinking. She only had her own thoughts. In the future, would she also become as tolerant as Lin Xin Yi?

…

What was occurring in the Sword Pavilion, Lu Xuan naturally had no way of knowing. He also couldn’t know that when Elder Fan had showed his face, it had caused the blade and fist factions to choose to give up in the end.

Of course, a reason the two factions gave up was because Lu Xuan was already no longer in the Wind Sword Sect.

After stepping onto the transmission array in the Enchantment Hall quiet room, Lu Xuan had experienced a dizzying transfer and quickly appeared in a unknown large mountain, in an uninhabited area.

Taking out the map that Chen Xiao Han had given him, Lu Xuan found his bearings and no longer stuck around and walked out. His current destination goal was the Sky Blade Sect’s jurisdiction’s Unparalleled Empire.

Unparalleled Empire was one of the three subordinate great empires under the Sky Blade Sect and was also the most prosperous great empire where martial arts prepared. It is said that the Sky Blade Sect, in order to recruit disciples, had opened a number of martial pavilions in the Unparalleled empire, specifically used to raise a new generation of disciples. If the talent was high, they would directly enter the Sk Blade Sect’s headquarters, becoming inner sect or even core disciples.

On just the process of raising martial artists, the Sky Blade Sect was better than the Wind Sword Sect by a bit, after all, among the Wind Sword Sect’s three great empires, other than the once a year sect entrance assessment, normally those non-clan origin martial artist could only rely on themselves to cultivate and simply didn’t receive any raising.

Right now, the large mountain Lu Xuan was on was part of a mountain range that connected the Warflame Empire. As long as one continually went east, they would definitely reach the Unparalleled Empire.

As long as he reached there, Lu Xuan would be at peace, after all, even if the blade faction’s hand was larger, it couldn’t reach the Unparalleled Empire.
