Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 6374: Sweet Mouth Won’t Make You Hungry



To be honest, Ziyu Immortal Fairy did seem to have some interest in him.

A lot of what he knew about the world of the Ancient Domain came from Ziyu Immortal Fairy herself.

In fact, it was at her invitation that he entered Tiantan City. They had met in an ancient place within the Overturning Sea Region. At that time, Jian Wushuang had only been in the region for a short while, but after showcasing a bit of his strength, Ziyu Immortal Fairy began to see him in a different light.

If it had been any other Peak Stage Da Cheng cultivator, they would never have received such respect from a well-known Zhen Xian like her.

"Daoist Wushuang, you flatter me. I'm merely a few years older than you, that's all. With your talent, once you break through and become an Immortal, I might need to rely on you instead!" Ziyu Immortal Fairy smiled, her almond-shaped eyes narrowing in amusement. She enjoyed this kind of flattery.

Seeing her reaction, Jian Wushuang continued to compliment her, "With your talents and beauty, Immortal Fairy, I'm sure there are plenty more outstanding cultivators pursuing you. Why would you pay attention to an ordinary cultivator like me?"

As soon as he said this, two voices echoed in his mind.

"Shameless! That old hag is at least fifty thousand years old, and you're still willing to eat up her flattery?"

"Brother Wushuang, don't listen to that old guy. Fifty thousand years is nothing. Haven't you heard that being three thousand years older means they've already entered the ranks of the Immortals? Besides, I think Ziyu Immortal Fairy looks pretty good, with that figure, those eyes... hehe..."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The first voice was from Immortal Jiu Chen, full of disdain, while the second was encouragement from Xiang Yang.

Immortal Jiu Chen didn't know Jian Wushuang's true origins and could only sense from his aura that he was born into this world relatively recently.

About a hundred years ago, which was indeed very short.

Xiang Yang, on the other hand, knew Jian Wushuang's background—he was a Universe God, and who knew how many epochs he had lived through, maybe even hundreds of cycles.

How could he possibly be considered young?

But Jian Wushuang ignored both of them. He wasn't flirting with Ziyu Immortal Fairy just for fun.

He had already figured out most of Ziyu Immortal Fairy's background. She was a smooth operator, skilled at manipulating people. She might be acting interested in him now, but who knew how many others she had been interested in behind the scenes?

She simply saw his potential and wanted to deepen their connection. When he reached the Immortal level, she probably expected him to become a valuable ally.

Ziyu Immortal Fairy smiled flirtatiously as she swayed her graceful body toward Jian Wushuang. Her tone changed slightly as she said, "If you truly see me as an elder sister, I have a great opportunity that requires a few Peak Da Cheng cultivators."

Upon hearing this, Jian Wushuang immediately cupped his hands and bowed slightly, saying, "If you don't mind... no, no, if Elder Sister Ziyu doesn't mind, I am more than willing to regard you as family!"

At that moment, Jian Wushuang's genuine expression made him seem like an infatuated man. For a brief moment, Ziyu Immortal Fairy truly felt something. She took his strong arm in her hand, her voice soft and charming, "You sweet talker!"

"As long as Elder Sister is willing, I'll eat honey every day!" Jian Wushuang teased.

...

Since they were on the sacred mountain, the two couldn't go too far and soon hurried down to Ziyu Immortal Fairy's residence within the city.

It was a sprawling mansion that covered ten li of land.

As soon as Jian Wushuang stepped inside, he immediately sensed several powerful presences.

At least four Zhen Xians, along with two Peak Da Cheng cultivators.

It was clear that Ziyu Immortal Fairy had brought him here for serious business.

In the tea hall, six powerful figures sat on two sides.

On one side were the four Zhen Xians, and on the other side were two Peak Da Cheng cultivators.

Jian Wushuang noticed that when the cultivators saw the unfamiliar Nascent Soul stage cultivator arriving with Zi Yu Immortal, they all furrowed their brows. However, none of them questioned it on the spot. Instead, they all nodded politely in greeting.

Zi Yu Immortal held Jian Wushuang's arm and began introducing the people present. The first person she introduced had a young appearance, a burly and muscular physique, and a pair of cold eyes. He had an unapproachable aura, and his neatly combed hair added to his solemn demeanor.

"Wushuang, this is Wu Hou Zhenxian of the Lieyang Sect. He's already one of the Fifth Step powerhouses among the immortals, incredibly strong, and he also serves as an elder of the Lieyang Sect. Not just any elder, but one who holds real authority!" After finishing her introduction, Zi Yu Immortal winked at Wu Hou Zhenxian. He dodged her gaze slightly but did not seem to resist.

Jian Wushuang quickly stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said, "Greetings, Wu Hou Zhenxian!"

"Hmm." Wu Hou Zhenxian, in consideration of Zi Yu Immortal, nodded silently and let out a single hum of acknowledgment, which was enough to consider the introduction complete.

To Jian Wushuang, this type of person wasn't frightening. At the very least, he wasn't the treacherous kind. After all, people often said that those who wore their emotions on their faces were the simplest to deal with.

Being able to judge a person's character based on their appearance meant the threat they posed was minimal. The most dangerous were always those whose emotions were

inscrutable.

From the first glance, Jian Wushuang developed a good impression of Wu Hou Zhenxian.

Zi Yu Immortal then proceeded to introduce the other three immortals, as well as the two Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

Initially, Jian Wushuang had assumed that Zi Yu Immortal was the leader of the group. However, when she introduced one of the Nascent Soul cultivators, Jian Wushuang realized that the true leader of these people was likely the Nascent Soul cultivator standing before

him.

"True Lord Xue Yang!"

This man was at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, with a life force five thousand times

stronger than average and battle strength that was incredibly fierce.

In the realm of immortality, there were roughly nine steps of power.

Each step was a major leap in cultivation.

The Ninth Step represented the peak of immortality. Beyond that, one could condense their Origin Source to become a Dao Lord.

Among the people present, the strongest in terms of raw power were Wu Hou Zhenxian and

another immortal named Tian Can Zhenxian.

Both of them were Fifth Step powerhouses.

Within the realm of immortality, they were considered mid-tier in strength. Those stronger than them had likely already founded their own sects and were regarded as top figures in

ancient domains.

Wu Hou Zhenxian was not very talkative and had a cold demeanor, which meant he lacked the

diplomacy required to lead.

Hence, Jian Wushuang initially believed that the elderly Tian Can Zhenxian was the leader of these people. When Zi Yu Immortal introduced him, Jian Wushuang had shown even more

respect.

But it was only when she introduced True Lord Xue Yang that Jian Wushuang realized the truth. Zi Yu Immortal mentioned the two supreme experts within the city, and Jian Wushuang

suddenly understood.

However, True Lord Xue Yang was sensitive about his background. The moment Zi Yu Immortal deliberately mentioned his connections, he immediately interrupted her, saying, "Background is just background; it has nothing to do with my strength. There's no need for

anyone to mind that!"

His words brought smiles to everyone's faces. It was both a gesture of humility and a way to gain some respect from the others.

Jian Wushuang also acknowledged the fact that True Lord Xue Yang had considerable influence. Anyone with connections to the Sun Symbol within the Heavenly Altar held a

prestigious status.

Within the Fu Hai Ancient Domain, there were two supreme experts. One of them was the holy disciple of the Sacred Sect, known as the "Two-Faced Buddha."

This person had a strange personality, often doing things that sent chills down people's

spines. His strength was immense, and though the faction he had founded had no official name and seemed disorganized, every one of his subordinates was just as cruel and erratic as

he was.

Merely hearing his name within the city would make anyone shudder.

The other supreme expert was much more normal by comparison. Not only was he normal, but he was also a righteous cultivator, widely respected. His reputation extended not only across the Fu Hai Domain but also throughout the entire Seventy-Two Domains.

Though this was the Sacred Sect's territory, even the Ancient Court praised this righteous expert. There were even rumors that if this expert ever decided to visit the Ancient Court, he could easily be granted the title of Heavenly King.
