Cheng Qian had no need for a sword — the Fuyao Sect had an outrageously wealthy sect leader, so even if they had nothing else, they still had money They could even toss aside used swords after they were done with the Qian had always been on the Azure Dragon Island and usually only ca Dasen's type He wanted to polish his oordplay, so he kept using his wooden sword

A simple souldn't be noteworthy, but this one was different Cheng Qian could tell with just one look

He didn't even need to think carefully to know that this wasn't fro First of all, this sword's scabbard was very unremarkable and a bit old, which didn't match up with their sect leader's preferences Second of all, according to Sect Leader Yan's personality, he wouldn't coreat show to all of his martial brothers beforehand Then he would hold a hair-brushi+ng co to ift to anyone who had pleased His Lordshi+p

Looking closely, the sword's hilt and body was covered in fine carvings of charly co Qian, with his experience of seeing nuon Island, couldn't iure out what charer and reached for the sword, but stopped in his tracks before even touching it — when there was barely any distance left between his fingers and the sword, a strange, indescribable feeling had suddenly appeared in Cheng Qian's heart

It was a cold sensation with the i around the sword body, as if the sas alive

Cheng Qian was confused at first, but then he thought about a possibility His eyes abruptly widened — there were invisible charms around this sword!

One must keep in mind that invisible charms were the very essence of charendary formidable masters The only person who could create invisible charenitor of De

But if they were to discuss this in detail, even Lord Beienuine, because the mediu that this was his great mastery of charms, it was more like demonic cultivation of the Soulist path It wasn't an honest practice

There were plenty of people in the world who understood charms People who could smith weapons were certainly not rare either But how many of them had the skill to leave invisible char Qian could practically picture it, hoord like this ht over the h search on the sword's body, he couldn't find its na Qian noticed a piece of paper peeking out from under the tea tray One side of the note had been stained with soht it to his nose to figure out its scent, and became even more confused — it was blood

Written on the bloodstained note were the words: “‘Shuangren' returns to its rightful owner Never use it recklessly, bear this in htful owner', Cheng Qian didn't understand a word of this He carefully examined his own room in detail and finally found another trail of blood near ain the corner

The person who'd left the swordin the front courtyard all this ti Qian hesitated for aabout this But after reaching for the door repeatedly, he retracted his hand each tiht not have done it out of kindness This issue didn't see Qian had always been the type who chooses to give good news and never bad news After thinking for a moment, he decided not to alarm the others He pushed theopen and leapt out, stealthily following the trail of blood

He lightly brushed his fingers over his eyelids, transferring his energy to his eyes In an instant, the landscape before him burst to life The bloodstains hidden in various spots instantly beca Qian

He had no idea who the injured person was, but their injury didn't seem serious, because that person was still very lively and had practically gone halfway around the Azure Dragon Island When Cheng Qian followed the trail to a reef near the shore, he realized that the trail had broken

Cheng Qian thought, Could it be, they've ju down froer suddenly took for Qian wasn't sure whether this instinct had been trained through his cultivation or his frequent fights, but he trusted it very much He immediately concealed his own presence and hid in a place that would face the back of any newco was extremely close At the very next an searching around

When Cheng Qian saw this, his pupils shrunk The reason was si swords

He had no idea if Yan Zheng could already fly on his sword, but he hiard their superior cultivation, there were still uess what these people were up to Seeing the way theytheir faces, it was clear that they weren't doing anything reputable

Before Cheng Qian could consider things carefully, one of the h-pitched whistle A bird with a strange form immediately descended in response The bird was as tall as a reat wings As if carrying the weight of the sky, it glided doard

Cheng Qian could feel cold sweat beginning to for like Li Yun, who knew his share of rando Qian had heard a fair deal of infors He knew that this bird was called the ‘Bird of Living Men', which was specifically used to detect the presence of living people Because it could fly, it was

The Birds of Living Men were highly sensitive, so itits order, the first thing the bird did was cry out loudly in the direction where Cheng Qian was hiding

Noswords Under the urgent situation, Cheng Qian hurriedly felt around his waist and found a few small bottles He took a quick sniff and carelessly poured one over his body These were Li Yun's creations for the Qian wasn't very clear on what they actually did, but he vaguely remembered that one of them could hide one's body

“Let's tryQian felt hi so stiff that he couldn't move an inch

Bitterness rose in chest It see, he would have to bid his farewells here

The bird and theQian, but the next ht past him, as if they hadn't seen him

Could it be, he actually had used the liquid that hid one's body, but its side effect ile toQian realized that his body hadn't actually disappeared, he'd just turned into a rock

Even though Li Yun's unnamed rock-transfor Qian in place for an entire night Those masked men came and went, and only left near daybreak

Before they departed, their leader cast his gaze around the area Cheng Qian had a clear look of his eyes and instantly felt that this person seemed a bit familiar At the very least, heQian could ain, it was close to ed his stiff body back to their dwellings and happened to co his own rooard, so he clearly had been busy for the whole night too, but his spirits see s out of the open door behind hiht on fire

Li Yun weakly raised his head and said to Shuikeng, as sitting on the edge of the wall to play with sos, “Little shi+mei, catch”

He took out a pill and tossed it to Shuikeng

Shuikeng often displayed soe — for example, her senses were far superior to nor at high speeds Hearing those words, she didn't even reach out with her hands She unhurriedly stretched out her neck, opened her ht the pill in between her teeth

She licked the pill, tasted the sweetness in it, and began crunching on it like candy

Cheng Qian, “…”

Even though he knew that Li Yun had given her a pill to suppress her yao aura, he still couldn't help the strange feeling in his heart upon seeing this sight

They had trained their shi+mei so well that he couldn't help his amazement… except she wasn't trained tooher eat the pill, Li Yun s Qian, as if a burden had been lifted off his chest He yawned and turned back to his own roo Qian, so he called out, “Wait, Second shi+xiong, I have so Qian, “Do you knoord naren'?”
