Looking at Fang Xingjian, Rota forced a smile and asked, “Have you been well?”

When Fang Xingjian saw the two people behind Rota, he responded with a question, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.” Rota fell silent for a moment before she suddenly asked, “Xingjian, what do you think of the Rebirth Sword Technique?”

“It’s a good sword technique.”

Just as Fang Xingjian was saying this, one of the men in black behind Rota stepped forward and said, “Alright, Rota, stop wasting time. Let me say it out directly.”

This man in black had white hair and a childlike complexion. However, his gaze was extremely cold, and his lips were very thin and extremely pale. He was clearly a very vicious person.

The lips of the old man in black were curled downward as he said while looking at Fang Xingjian, “Fang Xingjian, the Rebirth Sword Technique is involved in too big a repercussion. You shouldn’t have released the sword technique before having studied the sword technique in its entirety. You’re too careless in this area.

“You should cultivate for a few more years before you create your own sword technique.”

Fang Xingjian threw a glance at Rota and asked, “Who is this old guy?”

The old man in black said furiously with his eyes wide open, “It’s exactly as what the rumors say. What an arrogant young man.”

Rota frowned and said helplessly, “Xingjian, this is our clan’s Old Ancestor. He left the clan 50 years ago for his cultivation and has never meddled in our affairs. However, he’s now here to let us pass you a message.

“Old Ancestor has already completed the second transition and is at level 22.”

For a city’s small aristocratic clan like the one Rota belonged to, a level 22 Conferred Knight was already a great godlike existence. However, Rota did not appear to have much respect for him. After all, they were in the Regional Academy, and she had even seen the scenes in which Fang Xingjian had defeated Conferred Knights multiple times.

“Since you have already left the clan, why are you back now? You’re not around when others need you, yet you appear when they don’t.” How could Fang Xingjian possibly care about a level 22 Conferred Knight? He threw a glance at the old man in black and said directly, “Scram. Don’t meddle with Rota. Her talent is much higher than yours. Don’t hold her up.”

“Me? You’re saying that I’m holding her up?!” The old man in black was so angry that it seemed as if his lungs were going to explode. 50 years ago, he had left the clan and joined the Lijiang Sect. After putting great work and effort in his cultivation while he was under the Lijiang Sect, he had finally reached the second transition and level 22. Which ordinary person of the younger generation would not tremble in fear when they saw him?

This time around, he had received orders from his Sect Master to have a talk with Fang Xingjian. Who would have thought that this Fang Xingjian would not even give him any respect?

“Excellent, excellent, excellent. Do you think that I won’t dare to do anything to you just because you have James and Hoppes backing you up? I’m going to take action now. I shall see what they can do to me when they aren’t here with you.”

As he spoke, the old man stretched out his hand, and many blood arrows shot out from his palms. In the blink of an eye, they had already transformed into a blood spear, thrusting out toward Fang Xingjian.

This Myriad Blood Spear contained countless curses and poisons. At the slightest contact, it would seep into one’s body through the skin. When that happened, the victim would suffer from great itches and pain, making it a great dilemma for one to choose between life and death.

The arm of the old man in black shook slightly, and the blood spear turned into a surging blood wave heading toward Fang Xingjian. It was as if the blood wave wanted to drown Fang Xingjian’s entire body and give him a serious taste of agony.

The blood wave surged upward like a tsunami. Combined with a piercing stench of blood, it would scare an ordinary person almost to death. This blood wave would probably be able to drown an entire village.
