Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 6395: Why?



Guardian Yunhai looked coldly at Guardian Qifeng, who was threatening him with a mischievous grin, and said in a stern voice, "If you want to kill, go ahead and do it. As long as you're prepared to bear the consequences, I won't say a word!"

"Brother Yunhai, there's no need for this," Guardian Qifeng replied, still unaware of the gravity of the situation, his tone agitated. "We're all working under the same Lord. We see each other all the time. Why let it come to this? Just tell me what's going on, give me a chance, and I'd be grateful!"

Xue He, the Old Ancestor, had no opportunity to speak. Even though he was a Ninth

Tribulation True Immortal and could match an ordinary Dao Lord, he still fell far short compared to the two Protectors.

Yet today, since he had the chance to hear about this matter, he knew he wouldn't walk away without some benefit.

Yunhai Protector glanced at the two of them before saying in a heavy tone, "First, we should investigate the Ancient Demon's Palace. I'll personally report this matter to the Lord. When the time comes, the three of us will go together. Don't think I'll take all the credit for myself!"

"Huh?" Xue He, the Old Ancestor, was startled. "Does such a small matter really require the Lord's personal involvement?"

Guardian Qifeng was equally surprised. Though the outsider was powerful, most of them were Dao Lords, not significant enough to draw the Lord's attention.

After all, the Lord was currently merging with the Sequence Legacy.

Once the merge was complete, he would undoubtedly become the strongest in the entire Overturning Sea Ancient Domain. At that point, there would be no need to remain in this desolate place. He could directly head to the Sacred Land for cultivation.

He was preparing to harmonize with the Dao. If he succeeded in doing so, the Dao Lord, having merged two great Sequences, would be as powerful as a Saint Lord!

In their eyes, the Lord was extraordinarily gifted and truly stood a chance.

Naturally, a mere outsider would be of little interest to him.

Unless, of course, this outsider was an Emperor Lord. But in that case, the Lord might not even be a match.

Seeing their curious expressions, Yunhai Protector lowered his voice and said, "The outsider Tian Can mentioned is the mysterious cultivator who injured the Lord earlier. The Lord has been searching for this person ever since. That cultivator was poisoned by an ancient toxin and doesn't have much time left. Perhaps by now, they've already perished. So, what do you think? Does the Lord care or not?"

These words left Xue He, the Old Ancestor, and Guardian Qifeng frozen in place.

Earlier, when the Twin-faced Buddha was injured, they had both thought it was Yang Dingtian's doing. They hadn't expected it to be an outsider.

This was an internal secret of Twin-faced Palace, something no outsider knew about. Only a few people were privy to the truth, and Yunhai Protector was one of them.

He had been by the side of the Dual-faced Buddha when they encountered that mysterious expert from another world. Within Elder Tian Can's ring, Yunhai Protector could feel the lingering aura left behind by that individual, confirming that Elder Tian Can had not lied. When they presented Elder Tian Can to the Palace Master, it would certainly count as a significant achievement.

Understanding the situation, Guardian Qifeng and Xue He Patriarch both smiled and looked at Elder Tian Can with much kinder expressions.

"Brother Yunhai, the reason you discovered our whereabouts, was it because of Elder Tian Can?" Guardian Qifeng speculated.

Yunhai Protector did not deny it and nodded in response.

The group shared their reasons clearly among themselves.

Jian Wushuang, who stood nearby, heard every word.

The others, however, were kept in the dark.

After all, such secrets were not meant for everyone to know.

Yet Jian Wushuang's powerful thought power made it impossible to exclude him from the conversation.

"Alright, let's continue exploring this Ancient Demon Palace. Xue He has one token, and that useless brother of Yang Dingtian has another. Each token allows three people to enter. Including Elder Tian Can, we have four people, leaving us with two more spots. I'll take one. You two have no objections, right?" Yunhai Protector said.

Xue He Patriarch and Guardian Qifeng both shook their heads.

Although Xue He Patriarch had brought along two subordinates, he wouldn't dare fight with Yunhai Protector over it.

Guardian Qifeng had come alone, and there was no need to return for anyone else.

Besides, Yunhai Protector had the upper hand this time, and they would need to rely on him later, so they naturally had to show him respect.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Seeing no objections from the two, Yunhai Protector immediately took out his token and notified his two subordinates.

While waiting for them to arrive, it was time to deal with the small fry.

"Tian Can, I'll give you an opportunity. Follow me into the Ancient Demon Palace. After we've finished exploring, I'll take you to meet the Palace Master. As long as you behave, once everything is over, the Palace Master will reward you!" Guardian Qifeng played the role of the good guy for now, since they would still need Elder Tian Can later.

Once they were done with him, giving him some benefits wouldn't hurt. If necessary, they could always silence him.

Although Elder Tian Can harbored some doubts, he still put on a submissive smile and thanked them profusely.

"Good!" Guardian Qifeng turned to the others and suddenly opened his mouth wide. A powerful suction force instantly drew True Immortal Wuhou toward him.

Buzz!

True Immortal Wuhou's expression changed dramatically. He wanted to resist but couldn't fight the overwhelming suction. In the next moment, he was swallowed whole by Guardian

Qifeng.

His fate, needless to say, was sealed.

The rumors about Guardian Qifeng's taste for human flesh turned out to be true.

Witnessing this, Fairy Ziyu turned pale with fear.

The look Guardian Qifeng gave her made her legs tremble uncontrollably.

As his gaze traveled down her body, lingering on her snow-white legs, Guardian Qifeng

smirked wickedly. "Such tender skin, you must taste even better!"

Just as he was about to act, Fairy Ziyu hastily pulled out a token and pleaded, "Spare me, Guardian Qifeng! I am the goddaughter of Silver Flower Madam!"

"Oh?" Guardian Qifeng raised an eyebrow in surprise. "So, that's why you reek of that old hag. You're her goddaughter, huh? That makes me even more excited!"

Xue He Patriarch couldn't help but chime in, "That old witch Silver Flower has gifted plenty

of beautiful women to many powerful figures, yet she never offered any to our Dual-faced God Palace. Her influence won't help here!"

Elder Tian Can stood to the side, watching coldly, feeling disdain toward Fairy Ziyu's

attempts to use her connections.

In the entire Overturning Sea Ancient Domain, the Dual-faced Buddha ranked alongside Yang

Dingtian at the top.

The Dual-faced Buddha, being a powerful figure from the Holy Land, had little fear of

offending others.

Pulling strings like this was pointless; it would be better if she begged for mercy from him.

Elder Tian Can's eyes gleamed with greed. He had long coveted Fairy Ziyu, but outside, his status was too low, and although his strength was considered top-tier among his peers, he lacked the background and connections that Fairy Ziyu had. Hence, he never dared make a

move.

But now, things were different. The secrets he possessed were enough to make the three powerhouses in front of him envious. If he pleaded for her, they would surely show him face.

However, Fairy Ziyu stubbornly refused to ask him for help.

"We'll see how long you can hold out," Elder Tian Can sneered internally.

Realizing that Silver Flower Madam's influence held no weight, Fairy Ziyu took out another token, this one dark and foreboding, and cried out, "I have the identity token of the City Lord of Tianshen City! I beg the three elders to spare my life for the sake of the City Lord." When she presented the City Lord's token, Guardian Qifeng was momentarily stunned.
