Liu Ruyan's Confession!

When the gaze of the Sword Master Xuanji casually swept over Gu Qingxue, it finally landed on the blue-robed man who had been standing with his hands behind his back and an indifferent expression.

The once arrogant Sword Master Xuanji's expression froze instantly.

Like a rooster with its neck being choked, the harsh words that were on the tip of its tongue were swallowed back.

"The Qingyun Patriarch?"

The voice of the Sword Master Xuanji trembled with disbelief.

He never expected that he would encounter this jinx here!

Even before that, after the Seven Star Sword Master, the leader of the Great Luo Sword Sect, returned in a sorry state from the Fallen Demon Valley, he immediately convened a meeting of the sect's highest-level elders.

At the meeting, the Seven Star Sword Master repeatedly emphasized, and even sternly warned, all the Nascent Soul cultivators:

"Lu Yuan of the Qingyun Sect is unfathomable. He has mastered the laws of the Four Transformations Sword and spatial supernatural powers. He even killed the Blood River Ancestor and the Blood God Child by himself."

"If you ever encounter this person alone while traveling in the Eastern Wilderness, be sure to give him a wide berth and never provoke him!"

When he heard this, Xuanji Sword Master was somewhat dismissive, thinking that the sect leader must have been scared out of his wits.

But at the moment.

When he saw with his own eyes Lu Yuan's calm golden eyes and the sword intent emanating from him that was even more terrifying than his own sect leader's, he believed it.

I completely believed it.

A chill instantly shot from the soles of the clone's feet straight to the top of its head.

"It's a misunderstanding...it's all a misunderstanding!"

A humble smile instantly appeared on the face of the Sword Master Xuanji, and his originally straight back bent down as he bowed to Lu Yuan.

"I never expected that Fellow Daoist Lu would personally grace us with his presence."

"If I had known that Fellow Daoist Lu was here, I wouldn't have dared to be so presumptuous in front of you, even if you had ten thousand lives."

This sudden reversal left everyone dumbfounded.

Especially Liu Chengfeng and Liu Ruyan, the brother and sister, their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Is this the powerful backer they are so proud of?

Is this the Xuanji Sword Master, who ranks tenth on the Venerable List?

Why are you acting like a coward in front of this Qingyun Sect patriarch?

"Husband... what are you doing?"

Liu Ruyan grabbed Xuanji Sword Master's sleeve in disbelief, "He's the one who just humiliated you, calling you a nobody..."

"Shut up!"

Xuanji Sword Master suddenly turned around and slapped Liu Ruyan hard across the face.

Snapped!

The slap was so powerful that it swelled up half of Liu Ruyan's face, and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

"Foolish woman! Do you want to kill me?"

The Sword Master Xuanji roared, "Hurry up and kneel down, kowtow, and admit your mistake to Fellow Daoist Lu!"

After saying that, he turned to Lu Yuan and said with a forced smile, "Fellow Daoist Lu, this lowly servant girl has been spoiled by me and doesn't know any rules, so she has offended you."

"For my sake, could you... spare her life?"

"I promise that I will discipline him strictly from now on and he will never do it again."

Lu Yuan looked at the scene before him, his eyes showing no emotion, only endless indifference.

"Spare her life?"

Lu Yuan chuckled, but his laughter carried a chilling undertone: "Just now, she kept saying that she would have you tear me to pieces."

"This..." Sword Master Xuanji broke out in a cold sweat, forcing a defense, "That's just this stupid woman talking nonsense, it can't be taken seriously, it can't be taken seriously..."

"Ruyan! What are you standing there for? Apologize now!" He turned and yelled at Liu Ruyan.

however.

At this moment, Liu Ruyan covered her swollen cheeks, her hair disheveled, and her eyes held not only fear but also a kind of hysterical madness.

She usually acts arrogantly in Tianyuan City and even among the affiliated forces of the Great Luo Sword Sect, relying on the favor of the Xuanji Sword Master. When has she ever suffered such humiliation?

Being slapped in public by her husband in front of so many people, especially in front of Gu Qingxue, whom she had once trampled underfoot, was more painful than death.

"I won't apologize!"

Liu Ruyan shrieked, "I did nothing wrong! It's clearly the Gu family who are ungrateful, and it's clearly this Lu guy who's gone too far!"

"I'm your woman, and you not only refuse to help me, but you're also siding with outsiders to beat me up?"

"Xuanji, are you even a man?!"

Upon hearing this, Xuanji Sword Master's face turned deathly pale, and he cursed inwardly that this woman was simply insane.

You're asking for it, but don't drag me down with you!

"Good, that's very principled."

Lu Yuan nodded, his smile widening: "Since you're unwilling to apologize, then there's no need to apologize."

Anyway…

"Whether a dead person apologizes or not is irrelevant."

Clang!

Before he could finish speaking...

Lu Yuan flicked his fingertip, and an invisible sword aura instantly took shape.

"No!"

The Sword Master Xuanji's expression changed drastically upon sensing the murderous intent that was capable of destroying the heavens and the earth.

If he were to allow Lu Yuan to kill his concubine, where would he put his reputation as the Sword Master Xuanji? How could he maintain his standing in the Eastern Wilderness afterward?

"Fellow Daoist Lu, please show mercy!"

Sword Master Xuanji gritted his teeth and suddenly formed a hand seal.

"Yin Yang Limitless Sword!"

boom!

His clone instantly burst into flames, its body surrounded by a frenzied swirling black and white energy that transformed into a massive black and white divine sword. The laws of Yin and Yang intertwined with the laws of swords, emanating a terrifying aura that could divide heaven and earth and reverse Yin and Yang.

This sword strike was his trump card, a technique he had kept hidden. Even though it was only used by his clone, it still possessed 60% of the power of his main body, enough to contend with an ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Overestimating one's abilities."

Lu Yuan didn't even look at the sword; he simply stomped his foot lightly.

hum!

Sword Domain, open.

It did not fully expand its sword domain as before; only one corner of the sword domain trembled slightly.

But it was this slight tremor.

That seemingly invincible black and white divine sword was like a bubble meeting a steel needle.

puff!

It shattered instantly, turning into countless points of light that vanished into nothingness.

Along with the clone of the Mysterious Sword Master, it was also directly crushed into nothingness under this terrifying sword power.

"ah--"

Only a short scream remained in the void before utter silence fell.

one move.

Just one move.

The clone of Xuanji Sword Venerable, ranked tenth on the Great Luo Sword Sect's Venerable Ranking, was completely annihilated.

This moment.

Liu Ruyan panicked completely.

Looking at the empty sky, and then at Lu Yuan who was approaching her like a demon god, all her pride and madness collapsed in an instant.

"No...don't kill me..."

She fell to her knees with a thud, kowtowing frantically, the sound of her forehead hitting the ground particularly jarring in the silent hall.

"I know I was wrong... Senior, I know I was wrong..."

"Please, spare me, spare my worthless life..."

"I was blind to your greatness; you are a magnanimous person..."

Lu Yuan walked up to her, looking down at the woman who had been so arrogant just moments before.

"You already know you were wrong."

"All you know is that you're going to die."
