“Yes.”

There was no reason to hide it. Zhang Ruochen admitted directly.

The Moon-Burial Sword Saint didn’t find it unexpected and just nodded. “What plans do you have now? If you stay in the Yin and Yang Sect, we will definitely use all our resources to train you. You’ll become the next Sword Saint in the shortest amount of time.”

Zhang Ruochen touched his teacup lightly. “Stay in the Yin and Yang Sect? As Lin Yue or Zhang Ruochen?”

“Lin Yue.”

“I don’t want to be Lin Yue anymore, or Gu Linfeng. Right now, I just want to be Zhang Ruochen.”

His eyes were very calm, but there was determination deep within his irises. He hadn’t revealed his ident.i.ty in Ancient Taiyin City because he was drunk. Deep down, he desired to revert to Zhang Ruochen.

He didn’t want to be anyone else anymore!

The Moon-Burial Sword Saint was silent for a moment. “You must know that Zhang Ruochen is a criminal wanted by the Empress. With the Yin and Yang Sect’s current force, we can’t go up against the Empress and imperial court. Since you’ve already become a Saint, there are many times where you have to compromise. Some large forces are able to destroy a Saint in a second.”

“In that case, why should I stay in the Yin and Yang Sect?” Zhang Ruochen stood up. Cupping his hands, he bowed to the Moon-Burial Sword Saint. “Thank you for saving me, and thanks to the Yin and Yang Sect for helping me grow. In the future, if the Yin and Yang Sect has trouble, I will do my best to help.”

With that, he turned to leave. Blackie transformed into a black shadow and rushed into Zhang Ruochen’s sleeve.

The Moon-Burial Sword Saint knew that the Yin and Yang Sect couldn’t keep Zhang Ruochen anymore. Zhang Ruochen was also becoming more experienced and no longer needed to rely on anyone else.

“Leave after you heal!” the Moon-Burial Sword Saint said.

“No, there’s something else I must do. I’m in a hurry. I’ll definitely visit the Yin and Yang Sect after I complete that. At that time, I hope to learn some knowledge about the Sword Way from you.”

Zhang Ruochen took nine steps. With each step, his sword intent strengthened.

Whoos.h.!.+

By the ninth step, his sword intent had risen to a culmination. His body transformed into a beam of sword light and he shot into the air, disappearing in the horizon.

Saint Qingfeng looked at the leaving Zhang Ruochen with envy. “With his attainments in the Sword Way,” he muttered to himself, “he’ll become a Sword Saint very soon. He’s still so young. Will he become the newest Sword Emperor?”

An old cultivator with white whiskers and hair walked out of the forest behind Saint Qingfeng.

The old man wore a white monk robe. It had the Taichi print on the front and the Eight Trigrams on the back. He gave off a spiritual feeling.

Even the Moon-Burial Sword Saint got up from sitting and bowed with Saint Qingfeng. “Greetings, Patriarch Taiyi.”

Patriarch Taiyi had actually come to Ancient Taiyin with the Moon-Burial Sword Saint. He’d wanted to test Zhang Ruochen, so he didn’t let the Moon-Burial Sword Saint help Zhang Ruochen defeat the Death Knight.

The things that the Moon-Burial Sword Saint had said earlier were mostly exaggerations. The Death Knight indeed had an offensive weapon that, when activated, could kill a true Saint. However, it couldn’t kill the Moon-Burial Sword Saint.

In other words, it wasn’t hard for him to kill a Death Knight.

After a short pause, the Moon-Burial Sword Saint said, “I have a question.”

“Ask!” Patriarch Taiyi said.

“Why did you stop me from killing the Death Knight and silver-robed elder of the Immortal Pavilion? Did you want to use them to keep challenging Zhang Ruochen?”

“Indeed,” Patriarch Taiyi said.

The Moon-Burial Sword Saint was very curious and confused. With Patriarch Taiyi’s status, why did he care so much about a young junior?

Zhang Ruochen was indeed talented with limitless potential. However, there were also geniuses in the Yin and Yang Sect that rivaled him. For example, Gai Tianjiao with the Innate Extreme Yang Body was a once-in-a-millennium talent.

However, Patriarch Taiyi didn’t seem to put so much attention on her. The Moon-Burial Sword Saint didn’t believe that Patriarch Taiyi didn’t have a deeper relations.h.i.+p with Zhang Ruochen.

Could it be that Zhang Ruochen really is the Sacred Crown Prince from 800 years ago?
