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

Xu Yan was on high alert at this moment. The True King Heavenly Venerable who had suddenly emerged appeared to be aiding him, but Xu Yan sensed ill intent. It was evident that they had come specifically looking for him.

Influenced by the Seductive Witch's seduction, they were acting under her orders.

What good could come from the Seductive Witch seeking him out?

Revenge?

"I don't need your so-called protection. Keep out of my business with the Wan Family and get lost!"

Xu Yan said with a cold, mocking smile.

"Young master, the power of the Wan Family..."

The anxious True King Heavenly Venerable started to speak. Their strength was not very formidable among the True King Heavenly Venerables, and they wouldn't be able to hold off the Wan Family elders for long.

"Get lost!"

Xu Yan's gaze turned frosty as fierce Sword Intent surged out, forcing the True King to hastily retreat.

Meanwhile, the Wan Family elder who was fighting the obstructing True King Heavenly Venerable was being pushed back steadily, and soon it looked like he would not be able to hold on any longer. Despite this, Xu Yan refused to take the opportunity to leave, which made these True King Heavenly Venerables extremely anxious.

With a furrowed brow, Wan Tianlin realized that these True King Heavenly Venerables who had abruptly appeared did not seem to be forces behind Xu Yan, but rather they had some other motive.

With a flick of the Spirit Cicada Blade, he didn't strike again but instead looked towards Xu Yan with a solemn expression and said in a deep voice, "Since you dare to provoke my Wan Family, do you dare to leave your name behind?" ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"Why wouldn't I?"

Xu Yan said proudly, "Listen well, I keep my name and do not change my surname: Sword God Xu Yan!"

"You are Xu Yan? The Xu Yan of the Qinghua state?"

Wan Tianlin's expression was taken aback.

"You know of me? It seems that my name, Xu Yan, carries some weight after all."

Xu Yan was surprised for a moment.

He had made quite a reputation for himself in the Qinghua state, especially in teaching the Sword Dao. The Martial Artists who were swordsmen in the Qinghua state revered him immensely.

He didn't expect his name to have reached the Nine Mountains Realm so quickly.

"Rumors say that Sword God Xu Yan is a marvel with the Sword Dao, esteemed among swordsmen in Qinghua state, and it's also said that Xu Yan can summon a True Dragon..." Wan Tianlin said gravely.

Xu Yan raised his hand and a Golden Dragon roared forth, its dragon might vast and powerful.

Seeing this, Wan Tianlin confirmed that this was indeed the Xu Yan from Qinghua state, who was now acclaimed as the foremost among the younger generation.

There were many rumors about Xu Yan, mystical and exaggerated. However, in the Nine Mountains Realm, most people simply believed that Qinghua state, having suffered a great blow, needed to restore its prestige, and the stories were mostly embellished for this purpose.

Having met him today, Wan Tianlin felt that the rumors were unnecessary!

Xu Yan's skill in the Sword Dao was indeed extraordinary, his command of the True Dragon made him a formidable force. Even the family elders by his side could not get the better of him.

It was almost as if, unless an Immortal Heavenly Venerable emerged, he would stand invincible.

"Brother Xu, I, Wan Tianlin, have never offended you, and I approached our trade with sincerity. Even if you find me Wan Tianlin a bit arrogant, there is no need for you to target me or my Wan Family so specifically, right?

"The Wan Family has never had any grievances with Brother Xu, have we?"

Wan Tianlin took a deep breath, speaking with a grave face.

The two family elders also ceased their attacks. Since the youth was Xu Yan from Qinghua state, and if he truly held a grudge against the Wan Family, the matter was no longer simple.

It might even involve conflicts between powerful forces from Qinghua state and the Nine Mountains Realm.

Conflicts between the two realms were not something warriors at their level could get involved with.

Xu Yan's eyebrows raised in a cold smile and said, "I, Xu Yan, never look for trouble, but I'm also not afraid of it. Since I brought out the Blood Heart Fruit for trade, it was with honest intentions. I don't care about your attitude, just pay the agreed treasures for the trade.

"But you, Wan Tianlin, seem a bit too greedy, daring to send someone to attempt to assassinate me. Do you really think I'm someone who wouldn't strike back?"

Wan Tianlin's brows furrowed. It was true that one of his bodyguards had tried to kill Xu Yan.

However, the bodyguard attacked Xu Yan because he himself had been surrounded and attacked.

If the other party was indeed Xu Yan from Qinghua state, and the Wan Family had no enmity with him, why would he recklessly attack them?

Could there be a misunderstanding here?

Wan Tianlin felt a sinking feeling in his heart as if he had caught the scent of conspiracy.

As the pride of the Wan Family, he was not only exceptionally talented but also wasn't just a hot-headed warrior obsessed with martial arts and cultivation.

If Wan Tianlin had been just a brawny man with outstanding cultivation talent, he would not have been so highly regarded by the Wan Family, nor groomed to be the future family head.

Taking a deep breath, Wan Tianlin bowed and said, "Brother Xu, after completing our negotiations at Yu Zhu Slope, I was preparing to return to the Wan Family to gather the items needed for the trade.

"Unfortunately, I was attacked on the way..."

Having realized something was amiss, Wan Tianlin immediately shared what had happened that day.

"My bodyguard, he returned to Yu Zhu Slope to attack you, Brother Xu, due to this misunderstanding. The Wan Family is willing to make reparation to you for this!"

Wan Tianlin said with a serious tone.

Xu Yan's eyebrows raised. All of a sudden, he turned his gaze towards those True King Heavenly Venerables controlled by the Seductive Witch. At that moment, he understood that a third party was stirring up the conflict between him and the Wan Family from behind the scenes.

"When I left Yu Zhu Slope, I encountered assassins trying to steal the Blood Heart Fruit. I, Xu Yan, am not one to take a beating without fighting back, so I returned to pursue you and encountered your bodyguard along the way..."

Wan Tianlin's expression grew ugly.

"What about the trade for the Blood Heart Fruit?"

At this moment, he suddenly realized that there was something unusual about this matter.

"It's with your bodyguard!"

"My bodyguard is dead, and he did not claim the Blood Heart Fruit!"

At this moment, Wan Tianlin understood that someone was manipulating everything from the shadows.

Xu Yan was furious inside, incensed at being treated like a pawn.

He looked fiercely towards those few True King Heavenly Venerables and said coldly, "Is it one of you behind this? Or perhaps, the one backing you?"
