Chapter 635: Chapter 339: Xu Yan, the Man Who Never Follows Rules

“Haha, my time to rise has arrived!” Xie Lingfeng, who was honing his Sword Intent, heard the steward’s words and burst into laughter immediately.

“Brother Xu has actually come to find me!”

He leaped into the air and headed straight for the entrance of the City Lord’s estate.

Xie Tianheng was taken aback. Xu Yan had arrived?

That meant there was no need to go to the Eighteen States?

“Xu Yan? Could it be the Xu Yan from the Eighteen States?”

Fu Yun had an expression of disbelief and immediately glared at Xie Tianheng, “Do you and your son know Xu Yan?”

Xie Tianheng nodded, “Lingfeng’s Sword Dao was taught by Xu Yan, and the Sword Dao I practice also stems from the same lineage; what Lingfeng practices is Xu Yan’s Martial Arts.”

Xu Yan stood outside the Yuntian City Lord’s mansion and couldn’t help but sigh. Xie Tianheng really had some skills, managing to be a kept man – he wondered how Xie Tianheng had managed to marry Xie Lingfeng’s mother.

The Transcendent Spirit Sect’s City Lord’s daughter from the Azure Sea in the Spiritual Realm actually married him, an Inner Domain Martial Artist. It was truly unbelievable.

Not to mention Fu Yun, Xu Yan’s past admirer, when Xu Yan arrived at Yuntian City and inquired where the Sword King of the Azure Sea lived, he was told it was at the City Lord’s mansion.

The person spoke with disdain, although the Sword King was the first Sword Dao Martial Artist of the Azure Sea, he was a kept man, looked down on by men of honor; yet Xu Yan could see that the person’s eyes were filled with envy.

On his way to the Yuntian City Lord’s mansion, Xu Yan looked at the majestic estate, as large as a great city, and couldn’t help but marvel – truly befitting the Transcendent Spirit Sect that ruled over the Azure Sea.

He stated his purpose plainly and then waited.

Soon, a figure flew swiftly toward him – it was the long-lost Xie Lingfeng.

“Brother Xu!”

Xie Lingfeng had tears in his eyes; he could finally continue his practice, finally raise his eyebrows in pride, and once again suppress those he had once defeated.

“Brother Xie, long time no see!”

Xu Yan was all smiles.

“It has indeed been years, truly nostalgic.”

Xie Lingfeng sighed with longing.

“Brother Xu, this is not the place for reminiscing. Let’s go inside!”

“Alright,” Xu Yan nodded.

Just as he was about to follow Xie Lingfeng into the City Lord’s mansion, a sneering voice suddenly came, “Yo, isn’t this the Sword King’s son, the once-vaunted Sword Dao prodigy Xie Lingfeng? You actually dare to step outside today?”

The speaker emphasized the word “once.”

Xie Lingfeng’s face immediately sullied, while Xu Yan couldn’t even be bothered to turn his head and casually slapped backward.

“I hate it when a fly buzzes in my ear.”

Slap!

The one sneering was sent flying backward, crashing hard onto the ground, his face swelling on one side.

“Brother Xie, let’s go!” Xu Yan spoke with a smile, as if he had just swatted a fly.

Xie Lingfeng was momentarily stunned, then a smile spread across his face; this was truly Xu Yan’s style.

“Please!”

Leading Xu Yan into the City Lord’s mansion, he couldn’t help but show a helpless expression, “It’s a bit laughable for Brother Xu to see this – that person has a significant background in Yuntian City. He was defeated by me in the past, but now that he’s stronger than me, he has become presumptuous.”

“Don’t worry, Brother Xie will soon crush him back down.”

Xu Yan chuckled.

Xie Lingfeng, being the City Lord’s grandson, still faced cold mockery. It showed how far the once-prodigious Sword Dao talent had fallen.

“In Yuntian City, it’s the rule that elders do not interfere in the matters of the younger generation. The City Lord’s mansion follows the same rule, especially when it comes to the city’s major powers. As long as it doesn’t escalate to a matter of life and death, the elders do not get involved,” Xie Lingfeng explained with a wry smile.

To avoid being thrashed by his former underlings, he had not left the City Lord’s mansion for a long time.

As the son of the Sword King and the grandson of the City Lord, he had not just an impressive background but also bore pressure. Being defeated would only bring shame to the City Lord’s mansion, and no strong figures from the mansion would come seeking justice.

“Xie Lingfeng, as the grandson of the City Lord, you actually condone open attacks on me, you’re far too arrogant. I challenge you to a duel, come out if you dare!”

“Hand over the person, in front of the City Lord’s mansion, openly assaulting a prodigy – what should be the punishment? I implore the City Lord’s mansion to capture the culprit!”

Outside the City Lord’s mansion, angry shouts resounded.

The commotion grew louder.

Xu Yan stopped in his track.

“Brother Xu, don’t mind him. My mother will handle this,” said Xie Lingfeng helplessly.

“A small matter I can handle on my own, no need to trouble others,” Xu Yan replied, turning around and walking back.

Xie Lingfeng’s mouth twitched, and he quickly followed, looking around fretfully for his parents, wondering why they weren’t coming to smooth things over.

With Xu Yan’s temperament, the situation would surely escalate.

“Great Commander, someone has committed violence at the doors of the City Lord’s mansion, openly challenging Yuntian Azure Sea City. Please, Great Commander, preside over justice!”

“Yes, please, Great Commander, preside over justice!”

Outside the City Lord’s mansion, a crowd had gathered.

They were all formerly defeated by Xie Lingfeng, along with families bearing grudges against Xie Tianheng, eagerly seizing the opportunity to apply pressure.

“You’re looking for me?”

Xu Yan emerged from the City Lord’s mansion.

Outside, a crowd had assembled, bustling and noisy, with most there to watch the spectacle.

The prodigy who had been hit, now with a hand over his swollen cheek, pointed at Xu Yan and said sharply, “It’s him, the one who violently assaulted at the doorstep of the City Lord’s mansion. I implore the Great Commander to preside over justice!”

Slap!

Before his words had fallen, his other cheek fiercely caught a slap, nearly twisting his head, and he stood there utterly dumbfounded.

The rest were also dumbfounded.

Who was this violent man who dared to strike someone in front of the Great Commander!
