Only that elder recognized Sword Shocking, but others had somewhat gone through the history of the Northern and Southern Domains, and vaguely had some impression.
Someone frowned in deep thought, "Sword Shocking? Is that the prodigy from ten thousand years ago?"
"It should be him. Besides him, who else in the Infinite Sword Sect has the courage to kill when necessary, never dragging their feet."
"I heard that ten thousand years ago, he alone with one sword, defeated all opponents of the same level in the Beixuan Domain, and was the brightest prodigy of that era."
Some also admired, "Although I am not from the Infinite Sword Sect, I also cultivate Sword Dao. This personâs Sword Dao has reached an unfathomable realm, simply the life pursuit of us sword cultivators!"
The people of the Infinite Sword Sect were greatly invigorated by the Sword Ancestorâs intervention.
The two who were being held hostage also quickly returned to the side of the Infinite Sword Sect after the Sword Ancestor eliminated a great power.
Previously, Sword Shocking had not appeared.
Although Ning Qi succeeded as the Sect Leader, since he was the hidden foundation of the Infinite Sword Sect, whether he existed or not and his state, the more secretive, the more beneficial for the Infinite Sword Sect.
Now that others had come knocking, and three Void Path Realm Perfection together at that, how could Sword Shocking continue to stay hidden?
The remaining five great powers of the Beixuan Upper Sect ignored the two people, focusing all their attention on Sword Shocking.
The leading Li Daocheng frowned, scrutinizing Sword Shocking for a while before saying:
"Sword Shocking, youâre actually still alive!"
The Sword Ancestor stepped out of the void, landing beside Ning Qi, and replied:
"I wondered who it was, so it turns out to be the follower of the Beixuan Upper Sectâs prodigy Qi Feiyang from back then, and you dare to cause trouble at my Infinite Sword Sect? Youâve forgotten that Qi Feiyang was slain under my sword?"
The crowd was surprised, not expecting the two to know each other, and there was such a hidden story afterward.
Li Daochengâs frown deepened.
"Back then, Senior Brother Qi fought with you, and finally released that secret treasure that even the Integration Realm dared not touch, yet you managed to withstand it."
The Sword Ancestor disdainfully said, "Nonsense, what fight with me, what secret treasure, Qi Feiyang clearly used dark tricks against me, thatâs the only reason you escaped a disaster!"
Li Daochengâs face didnât look good.
He never expected Sword Shocking to still be alive, and upon showing up, instantly obliterated their two great powers.
Such decisive and fierce temperament was exactly the same as ten thousand years ago.
Know this, when they came to the Infinite Sword Sect, they did not start killing right away but held two people hostage to barge in.
A personâs reputation is as important as a treeâs bark.
Seeing that the Infinite Sword Sect could produce such an individual, Chu Risheng behind Li Daocheng quietly transmitted a voice message:
"Elder Li, what do we do now?"
"Why panic, Sword Shocking is strong, but we are not to be underestimated either."
Li Daocheng suddenly spoke out:
"Sword Shocking, I was almost deceived by you. You appeared and killed my Beixuan Upper Sectâs two people, this is a tactic to intimidate us."
"I observe your aura, it is merely on par with mine. Given your talent, thereâs no way youâd be stuck in the Void Path Realm Perfection like me. Iâm afraid these ten thousand years have not been kind to you."
Sword Shocking coughed lightly, "Your skills in reading people have indeed improved over the millennia. However, itâs no big deal to eradicate you few."
Li Daocheng laughed, "Sword Shocking, why put on a front, this is unlike you. If you truly had confidence, youâd have obliterated us directly, without all these unnecessary words."
Hearing this, everyone finally understood that the words between the two also carried sharpness, both vying for an advantage for their respective sides.
Suddenly, among the onlookers below, an elder stood up.
He floated up, immediately drawing everyoneâs attention.
"Sword Shocking, do you still recognize me?" The elder showed a discontented expression.
This elder appeared amidst the stand-off of the two sects, which was quite gutsy, but everyone was puzzled as to why he stepped forward now?
Sword Shocking glanced at the elder, "Old man, who are you?"
The elder was almost infuriated to death, pointing at Sword Shocking and breathing heavily, as if harboring endless resentment.
Instead, Li Daocheng spoke, "Sword Shocking, he is Feixing Sectâs Lu Yixin."
"Lu Yixin, Lu Yixin," Sword Shocking repeated the name twice, finally saying, "Sorry, I really donât remember this person."
Elder Lu Yixinâs hand pointing at Sword Shocking trembled continuously, he said, "You may not remember me, but do you remember Lan?"
"Lan?" Sword Shocking was taken aback, seemingly finally recalling something, "Oh, youâre talking about the daughter of the Feixing Sect Leader who once said she liked me, how is she now?"
This scene caused everyone present to look at one another, seeing the confusion in each otherâs eyes.
How did this turn from a grand duel into a reunion of old friends? Nonetheless, this gossip they had to indulge in.
Lu Yixin said dejectedly, "Lan passed away thousands of years ago."
"Is that so?" Sword Shocking sighed softly, then said, "So what do you intend by standing out, do you also want to be enemies with my Infinite Sword Sect?"
Elder Luâs cloudy old eyes gazed at Sword Shocking, saying:
"I wished to tell you, she married me!"
"Isnât that great?"
Elder Luâs eyes were moist, "But, in her dying moments, she was still calling your name!"
Sword Shockingâs old face reddened, what kind of business is this?
But, from the elders to the true inheritors of the Infinite Sword Sect, they all felt at this moment that this Ancestor of theirs lived with flesh and blood.
"Alright, Lu Yixin, right? Remember to light a stick of incense for me when you go back, at the moment I donât have time to deal with you."
Lu Yixinâs old eyes swept across both sides, his gaze seemed still indignant, but he also temporarily took a seat.
His heart was very complex, on one hand feeling the need to personally relay Lanâs last thoughts of Sword Shocking.
