Chapter 2, Names.

Sixth-level martial artist

At this moment, the person next to him, Ying Guangchuan, also cupped his hands in greeting

Upon saying this, she slightly cupped her hands and asked, "By the way, may I inquire about the honorable name of the young hero?"

The young man set his gaze upon Di Qianyuan and asked, "Do you know me?"

Guanghan Yan did not perceive the underlying meaning in the tone of the man in the green robe, thinking only that he was unwilling to let her watch. She felt a bit regretful at that moment. However, because of this sword, she developed a slight interest in the man in the green robe. A person who possesses such a treasured sword must not be an ordinary individual

My name is Xuantianzong

Hehe, you can rest assured, Junior Sister. If I, Di Qianyuan, can be of any assistance, I will certainly not decline

The innate secret realm, that is a stronghold that can command a city in this land overrun by beasts, with a single command capable of determining the life and death of tens of thousands.

Others may not know, but he is fully aware. The Linmen Sword Sect is the foremost sect of the Holy Light Empire. The establishment of the Holy Light Empire benefited greatly from the assistance of the Linmen Sword Sect. Subsequently, the Linmen Sword Sect received support from the Holy Light Empire, and the number of its outer disciples exceeded 300,000.

"Sister Guanghan Yanshi, have you come from afar to attend the grand ceremony of the sect's succession?"

At this moment, Ying Lanzhi also recalled something and couldn't help but exclaim: "I remember now, this incident caused quite a stir in our Qinghong City back in the day. The Blood Arrow Mercenary Group, a powerful mercenary organization with an eighth-tier warrior stationed, is one of the prominent forces in our entire Qinghong City. To think that it was single-handedly eliminated by you, the great hero Si Qixing, is truly unbelievable"

Blood Arrow Mercenary Corps

Not bad

Ying Guangchuan shouted loudly at that moment: "Lan Zhi, do not be unreasonable"

What caught her attention was not anything else, but the sword held in the hand of the young man in blue.

The man in the blue attire spoke, his expression momentarily lost in a daze

However, after a moment, he regained his composure

The top one hundred outer disciples of the Linmen Sword Sect

Having said that, he hurriedly cupped his hands in apology to the young man in the blue attire, saying: "Esteemed young hero, I sincerely apologize. My daughter is accustomed to being spoiled and has acted inappropriately. I would like to extend my apologies to you here."

Feeling somewhat awkward, Yiguang Chuan also returned to his seat.

The man in the blue attire casually remarked, his expression indicating that he did not take this matter to heart

At present, he noticed that Yan Lanzhi was observing him. He straightened his posture slightly, trying to maintain a good image, and smiled as he said: "I am Di Qianyuan. Eleven years ago, my father, by chance, met an outer sect steward of the Linmen Sword Sect, and received instruction in the Xuyang Sword Technique from that senior. I have now achieved a small level of mastery, and my martial artist rank has reached the sixth level. Therefore, I have come specifically to see if I can be admitted to the Linmen Sword Sect as an outer disciple."

Hmm?

This casual conversation did not last for a moment. The moving carriage came to a slight stop, and immediately after, a young man, with a long sword hanging at his waist and exuding an air of a chivalrous hero, had already boarded the carriage

Thank you, Brother Di

The man in the blue attire glanced at the dark red hilt of the sword in his hand, and a faint, ambiguous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "It seems it cannot be wielded."

This young hero, I am Guangchuan, pleased to make your acquaintance

While speaking, Di Qianyuan added, "Miss Ying, the two of us will go to the Linmen Sword Sect for the outer disciple assessment. Perhaps we can succeed in the assessment together, and then we will be senior and junior siblings. Therefore, you need not call me Young Master Di anymore. If you hold Di in esteem, we can refer to each other as senior and junior siblings first."

The other individuals in the carriage, upon seeing that even the esteemed Si Qixing held Guanghai Yan in high regard, naturally did not dare to be negligent and promptly offered their respectful greetings

No problem

Ying Lanzhi was evidently born into a wealthy family, possessing an admirable figure, appearance, and skin. Furthermore, at a young age, she exuded a youthful purity that had already captured the attention of the young man. However, he had previously struggled to find a suitable topic and did not know how to initiate a conversation.

Upon hearing these words, Ying Guangchuan's heart suddenly trembled.

A girl named Ying Lanzhi looked at the boy in astonishment, her gaze constantly assessing him.

I am familiar with you, of course I am familiar with you, Sir Qixing of the Seven Stars. Back in the day, you single-handedly took on the entire Blood Arrow Mercenary Group, consisting of sixty-three members, including one eighth-tier warrior and four seventh-tier warriors, none of whom were able to escape your punishment. Such deeds have made your name, Sir Qixing, resound in our ears.

After the carriage had been traveling for a while, the middle-aged man noticed that the two guards had finally stopped dozing off. He then smiled and cupped his hands in greeting to the young man in green who had just boarded the carriage.

That tone seems difficult to grasp, but it does not imply that it is not worth viewing

However, when his gaze fell upon the woman who had just boarded the vehicle, he was taken aback, no longer able to pay attention to Yan Zhi and Di Qianyuan. He respectfully bowed slightly to the woman, saying: "Sister Guanghan Yan, Junior Brother Si Qixing pays his respects to you"

Although Si Qixing did not know Di Qianyuan and Ying Lanzhi, he rather enjoyed the worshipful gazes from the two. Waving his hand, he casually remarked: "This is nothing. With my strength ranking among the top one hundred of the outer disciples in the Linmen Sword Sect, if I can't even eliminate a small Blood Arrow Mercenary Group, what right do I have to establish myself in the Linmen Sword Sect?"

On the carriage, Si Qixing was still engaged in a casual conversation with Ying Lanzhi and Di Qianyuan. The respectful tone of the two made a hint of pride appear on his face

Si Qixing spoke respectfully, with not a trace of the earlier arrogance he had displayed in front of Ying Lanzhi and Di Qianyuan

Then I must trouble you, Young Master Di

Guanghan Yan clearly did not know Si Qixing, but her demeanor seemed relatively gentle. Even though they were unfamiliar with each other, she slightly nodded and politely said, "Junior Brother Si."

This young hero, may I have the honor of borrowing your sword for a moment

The man in the blue attire shook his head once more

The man in the blue attire glanced at the middle-aged man named Ying Guangchuan, smiled slightly, and did not speak.

The young man glanced at the few people inside the carriage, and upon seeing that none of them appeared to be skilled fighters, he lost interest and sat down beside them

To stand out among three hundred thousand outer disciples and rank within the top one hundred, the strength of Si Qixing is undoubtedly formidable

Hehe, what a coincidence, I am also going to Linmen Sword Sect for the outer disciple assessment this year

My name is ... ...

At this moment, Di Qianyuan seemed to recall something, and his expression suddenly became agitated: "Excuse me... may I ask, are you the Seven Star Sword, the great hero Si Qixing?"

This is what I should do

However, when her gaze fell upon the man in the blue attire, her eyes brightened with surprise

My sword

Although the young girl deliberately lowered her voice, the carriage was so small that no matter how softly she spoke, the others inside could hear her clearly.

"And - the - book, haha, the Linmen Sword Sect is recruiting disciples. Besides one's own cultivation, talent is also of utmost importance. Although Miss looks to be only about fifteen or sixteen years old, she already possesses the cultivation of a fourth-tier warrior. If she can enter the Linmen Sword Sect, with the training provided there, reaching my level by the age of nineteen would not be a difficult task."

At this moment, the other young man in the carriage, who appeared to be around eighteen or nineteen years old and had been somewhat restless, seemed to have finally found a common topic: "Is this young lady also heading to the Linmen Sword Sect for the assessment of sect disciples?"

Ying Lanzhi exclaimed, "Young Master Di, you have actually become a sixth-tier martial artist? My goodness, you don't look much older than I am, yet you have already reached the sixth tier. I have been training under my father's supervision since childhood, but to this day, I have barely managed to reach the bottleneck of a mid-tier martial artist, having only attained the fourth tier."

As Ying Guangchuan pondered how to befriend Si Qixing, hoping to have him take his daughter into the Linmen Sword Sect, the carriage came to a halt once more. Following this, the door opened, and a beautiful woman, exuding a refreshing charm, entered the carriage

Are you too

The reason is simple: this lady from the Moon Palace is not only exceptionally beautiful, but she also enjoys an extremely high popularity among the outer disciples. Her cultivation level ranks among the top ten among many outer disciples. In this session, she has the hope of advancing further to become an inner disciple. With the abundant resources available to inner disciples, she aims to break through the barrier of the ninth-tier martial artist and ascend to the innate secret realm

Guanghan Yan nodded slightly, her gaze surveying the interior of the carriage

The two parties exchanged pleasantries, and soon they began to engage in conversation. Within the carriage, the earlier atmosphere of gloom had finally dissipated.

Di Qianyuan was also quite handsome, and with his status as a sixth-tier martial artist, along with their shared purpose of attending the Linmen Sword Sect assessment, it naturally brought their relationship closer. At this moment, Ying Lanzhi called out: "Senior Brother Di, you don’t need to keep calling me Miss Ying. Since we will be heading to the Linmen Sword Sect assessment together, perhaps Junior Sister will need your care."

Although the sword was mostly wrapped in a piece of cloth, obscuring the blade, the craftsmanship revealed at the hilt, along with the peculiar aura emanating from the sword, clearly indicated that this sword was anything but ordinary

However, the man in the green robe did not seem to feel this infectious energy. He glanced at Guanghan Yan and slowly began to speak, his tone seemingly imbued with an indescribable and enigmatic amusement.

The girl, around fifteen or sixteen years old, beside him, saw her father take the initiative to greet the man in the green robe, who surprisingly ignored him. She immediately snorted coldly and said in a low voice: "What are you being so arrogant for? Once I pass the disciple assessment of the Linmen Sword Sect and enter the Linmen Sword Sect, becoming a disciple of our Holy Light Empire's foremost sword sect, you so-called martial artists will have to treat me with utmost respect."

How could it be? This sword is clearly not an ordinary item. Its design and material exude a sense of extraordinary naturalness. The one who forged this sword back in the day must have been a master swordsmith

And the vast cold mist also reciprocated in kind

A sixth-tier martial artist, at the age of nineteen, is already considered quite impressive, with a high probability of passing the assessment for outer disciples of the Linmen Sword Sect. Moreover, should they achieve another breakthrough and become a high-tier martial artist, they would hold a certain status even among the outer disciples of the Linmen Sword Sect

Hehe, could it be that the young hero is unwilling to reveal his name as well

This sword truly cannot be wielded by anyone else

Guanghan smiled gently, her smile possessing an infectious charm that made one feel as if they were bathed in the warmth of spring.
