71: Chapter 070: The Terrifying Woman
Feng Xiaocheng t a tragic end, yet Yang Qingtan didn’t even glance back, seeming as if he was even unaware of such a crisis.
But no one believed that if Feng Xiaocheng had truly launched his attack, he would certainly die.
This was a person so terrifyingly calm and silent, his Sword Intent effortlessly crossing over two major realms to combat his foes—what then of his Combat Power against masters of the Sword Heart Realm?
This was the question on almost everyone’s mind, and thus, while already greatly revering Zhou Yan, upon seeing this man who could share a drink with Zhou Yan, everyone dared not even take a breath.
In the Treasure Pavilion, one could be a distinguished guest and everyone seed to be of similar status, but that was only here.
In reality, those with status remained as such even without any identity proof.
Just like Zhou Yan, without showing the VIP card of the Treasure Pavilion, rely possessing the Golden Sword Seal of the Great Zhou Family was enough to secure the highest level of treatnt.
“The wine tastes good, it’s just that so people always co out to spoil the mood, so, it’s just better to wipe them out cleanly.”
Yang Qingtan’s murmurs caused the surrounding Cultivators to pale trendously, casting uncertain and fearful glances at him as if afraid his eerie sword might leap out once more and explode soone’s head.
Clearly, Yang Qingtan’s previous thods had scared quite a few people.
“Hmm, wiping them out, drinking is more pleasurable.”
Zhou Yan nodded his head, thinking that if everyone just quietly drank their wine and waited for the high-level areas’ Sword Array to reset before going in to choose their treasures, none of this would have happened.
But due to trying to show off in front of a woman, a series of careless arrogance and flippancy occurred, culminating in death alone.
This world was so cruel, yet such boastful people and days were always plentiful, occurring nearly every day.
“Killing isn’t a pleasurable action, but using a Sword Intent that controls the world and thinking ‘who but ,’ to kill during a delightful drink, that is an unspeakable pleasure!”
Yang Qingtan ca over to Zhou Yan’s side, took a seat across him, and tilted his head back to drink more Fiery Fla Sword Heart Wine.
He, too, like Zhou Yan, after drinking, suppressed his Cultivation, allowing the alcohol to burn through his body, seemingly a form of extre self-torture, exchanging extre pain for extre pleasure.
“Yes, sotis, such wine also represents a state of mind.”
Zhou Yan chuckled, lifting his cup again.
Yang Qingtan also picked up the wine jug, and both jugs clinked together, then both tilted their heads back for a big swig.
“It should have been my treat, yet it turned out that I’m drinking your wine.
However, today’s you, compared to before, more so fills
with hope.”
Yang Qingtan finished his drink, then after a silence spoke.
“Then next ti, if you find good wine, don’t hesitate to invite
to drink more.”
Zhou Yan said smiling.
Yang Qingtan frowned, and it was a while before he responded, “I fear that opportunity won’t co soon; I have to head to the Yang Family to seize so things.
If there is a next ti, we’ll say then!
This round of drinks, I owe you, there will co a day of repaynt.”
Zhou Yan, hearing this, abruptly smiled, “You owe
nothing.”
“But you killed for , consuming the usage limit of the Secret Treasure.”
Yang Qingtan said gravely.
“This has nothing to do with you.
Just before, he knelt down, begging for rcy—his reputation already in tatters, and I mocked him with the joke that he could live.
However, he then harbored a murderous intent.
This man, liked to boast everywhere, yet that Li family brother, by his actions, completely humiliated him.
A real and total disgrace, both morally and ntally; he had no face left to live.
And at that mont, you killed the Li family brother.
Only by killing you could he maintain his reputation and status.
If the Li family brother had lived, he would have killed
too, to prove his strength and cleanse his dishonor.
Hence, in the end, I still would have needed to intervene.”
Zhou Yan analyzed seriously.
Because he grasped this point, he managed to ‘save’ Yang Qingtan in that instant.
“The human heart is complex, beyond imagination.”
Yang Qingtan sighed softly, seemingly contemplating Zhou Yan’s words.
After a long while, he finally snapped back and said, “Zhou Yan, you have more potential than .
Cultivate well, your father’s struggles, your mother’s plight, it all depends on you!”
“You too.
In fact, if there’s ti, I really would like to ask you about so swordsmanship; for so aspects of comprehension, one needs exceptional talent, which I am sowhat lacking.”
Zhou Yan sighed lightly; he knew he and Yang Qingtan were similar in so ways, otherwise his Master would not have chosen Yang Qingtan initially.
Too bad Yang Qingtan’s Soul couldn’t form a bond with his own Master to receive the inheritance.
But it couldn’t be denied, in terms of comprehension, this man was also very strong.
“That’s no issue, but you’re also entering the Sword Origin Pool soon, right?
I’m heading to the Yang Family, and once you’re out, let’s head together to the Ancient Tomb Mountain; I’ll show you the real Demon Beasts.”
Yang Qingtan’s words made Zhou Yan slightly startled; then he nodded his head, “Alright!”
“To be able to stand firm in the Great Zhou Family really surprised .
I’m not sure what lies ahead as I head to the Yang Family.
Spending ti with people makes one increasingly reminisce about the days with Demon Beasts.
At least, Demon Beasts don’t harbor so many thoughts.
Even if they intend to eat people, they show it through their eyes and actions, unlike humans who smile to your face but turn around and strike with a sword.”
It seed that sothing had occurred to him, and Yang Qingtan’s face unexpectedly revealed a rare smile, as though in his mories, the days spent with the demon beast were a beautiful thing.
This was the first ti Zhou Yan had seen Yang Qingtan’s smile.
He had never thought that he would see such a smile in such a setting, at such a ti!
In his impression and mory, Yang Qingtan was never good at words, let alone smiles.
He should be a lonely king, a lonely monarch, and a stubborn genius.
He was like a lone wolf king, his gaze and temperant conveying a life of vicissitudes yet solitude.
But now, he smiled.
His smile seed to lift the heavy burden of years from his age, making him appear much younger.
His smile also had an inexplicable infectiousness, as though with such a smile, any difficulty in the world was no longer challenging.
Zhou Yan slightly sighed and nodded.
As they drank the alcohol, sip by sip, Zhou Yan noticed that Yang Qingtan’s body did not react to the alcohol given his realm, which allowed him to drink with ease.
At that mont, the woman in white had already stood up.
She attracted the attention of many but seed indifferent to it.
With graceful steps, she silently approached Zhou Yan and Yang Qingtan.
“Would your honors mind if this humble woman also has a drink here?”
This woman spoke softly, smiling.
Her voice was very pleasing.
Zhou Yan was no stranger to nice voices or exceedingly beautiful won, yet, sothing about her words stirred his soul.
This woman was extraordinary.
“Do the mbers of your Li family lack wine to drink?” Zhou Yan didn’t speak, but Yang Qingtan, appearing sowhat wary, already spoke up.
“Of course, the Li family doesn’t lack wine, but two disciples of the Li family have died here.”
The woman spoke casually.
“Then, are you seeking revenge?” Yang Qingtan asked coldly.
“No, their deaths have nothing to do with .
I just heard that the Great Zhou Family has co with a peerless genius, possessing Dual Qi Pillars and two Qi Jie, and has a unique constitution of Soul-controlling Sword Body, and I specially ca to make his acquaintance.
After all, I feel there’s so fate between us.”
This woman, with her seemingly beautiful, delicate, and gentle features, spoke with such casual tone that it felt sowhat off.
“If you want to drink, then drink, having one more person doesn’t matter.”
Zhou Yan, thoughtful, glanced at the woman and resolutely threw her a jug of wine.
The woman, very carefree, caught the wine and opened the jug herself, lifting her snow-white neck, she just started drinking directly.
She tilted her head back, her neck smooth as jade and the patch of snow-white skin on her chest were exposed, especially the towering peaks whose contours were accentuated by her tightened snow-white gown as she threw her head back.
Facing Zhou Yan, this scene seed intentionally perford and gave Zhou Yan an intense stimulus.
Clad in pure white, with slender and delicate body and proud peaks, coupled with a unique aura, even the normally tranquil Zhou Yan could not help but feel an intense, fiery impulse ignite within him.
He felt a slight chill in his heart, yet his expression didn’t change, as if he felt nothing, and continued to drink.
“Ah, little brother, you’re quite handso!
Seeing you reminds
of that heartbreaker, alas, if only he had looked at
like you do back then!”
The woman sighed deeply.
These words caused Zhou Yan’s face to imdiately darken, and Zhou Yi, who was beside him, also looked extrely tense.
“Zhou Yi, little girl, you needn’t worry.
Even though I am now with the Li family, I’m still from the Zhou family after all, and naturally, I won’t harm his children.
Moreover, he looks so much like him that even the ‘Soul-forgotten Sword Formation’ I cast on myself lost its effect upon seeing him.
…
How could I possibly bring myself to kill him?” The woman’s voice was light, filled with sorrow, making Zhou Yan feel she was a terrifying woman.
Casting ‘Soul-forgotten Sword Formation’ on herself was…
a great tornt to herself!
Would anyone endure such endless pain if it were not necessary?
This seemingly beautiful, tranquil woman likely had a sowhat twisted soul!
Zhou Yan finally understood why Zhou Yi felt fear when she saw the woman.
This was absolutely not a woman whose depth could be gauged by her appearance.
Underestimating her might lead to a dire fate.
“Miss Yan Yun, have you, have you gained any insights from the sword formation of the Li family?” Zhou Yi, trembling, still asked respectfully.
