Chapter 2193 - 2194: Please Wait, Sir

Before Ling Zhenfei could walk over, he was discovered, but seeing that Ling Zhenfei was human, their vigilance lessened, allowing Ling Zhenfei to pass smoothly.

Ling Zhenfei walked to the entrance of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect and was stopped again.

"What are you here for?"

Ling Zhenfei smiled and said, "May I ask, is this the Shu Mountain Sword Sect?"

"Yes, this is the Shu Mountain Sword Sect. Who are you looking for? Is there anything you need?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "It's nothing major. I have a bottle of elixir here that a Mr. Ling asked me to deliver to your Jiang Muxue."

The two looked at Ling Zhenfei and said, "You should deliver it yourself. Sister Jiang is inside."

Ling Zhenfei said, "No need, I'm not going in. Just give her this elixir when you see Jiang Muxue."

After saying that, Ling Zhenfei stuffed the elixir into one of their hands and turned to leave.

But after only a few steps, he heard someone's voice.

"Mr. Ling, please wait."

Hearing the voice, Ling Zhenfei was taken aback because the voice belonged to Jiang Muxue.

Ling Zhenfei didn't expect to run into Jiang Muxue at this moment; it was quite awkward since he originally didn't want to see her.

Turning around, Ling Zhenfei saw Jiang Muxue standing at the entrance of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

Jiang Muxue, dressed in white as snow, held a longsword in her hand, but her beautiful face bore an expression of sadness.

"Mr. Ling, you've come to the gate, why not come in?" Jiang Muxue asked Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei said, "There was no important matter, so I didn't plan to go in."

Jiang Muxue walked over to Ling Zhenfei, stood beside him, and said, "Let's walk together."

The two walked towards the distance; although they were shoulder to shoulder, they didn't know what to say.

After a while, Jiang Muxue said, "Thank you, Mr. Ling. I really don't know how I should thank you."

Ling Zhenfei said, "No need to thank me. I've said saving people is a doctor's duty."

Jiang Muxue said, "To save Brother Zhu, you almost put yourself in a place of no return. I deeply apologize for that."

Ling Zhenfei said, "There's no need to say anything. I'm fine now, aren't I? As for the treatment for your brother, if you need more elixirs, I've left them with the guard; give them to him regularly and he'll recover."

Jiang Muxue looked at Ling Zhenfei and said, "You, you must be injured as well. I heard you had a big fight with a protector from a foreign race and got injured, yet you still care about others' ailments."

Ling Zhenfei chuckled and said, "No worries, I'm used to those little injuries."

Jiang Muxue said, "Don't say that, please. The more you say such things, the more guilty I feel towards you."

Ling Zhenfei said, "There's nothing to feel guilty about. Enough, you go back. It's not safe here at night."

Jiang Muxue seemed to have more to say, but she couldn't get the words out.

Finally, Jiang Muxue said, "Never mind, I won't say anything more. I'm going back, and thank you once again."

Ling Zhenfei nodded.

Jiang Muxue turned and walked back towards the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

By this time, he had walked quite a distance away, and there were no humans around, only darkness all around.

Ling Zhenfei stood there without moving and said to the surroundings, "Alright, come out."

Ling Zhenfei seemed to be talking to himself, but as soon as he finished speaking, someone appeared from behind a tree.

This person, holding a sword, walked towards Ling Zhenfei.

In fact, while chatting with Jiang Muxue earlier, Ling Zhenfei had noticed someone following behind.

Ling Zhenfei didn't know who it was before, but now he did because he recognized the person who appeared.

"So, it's Senior Brother Yun Bai from the Tianling Spirit Palace."

Indeed, it was Yun Bai, the first among the Four Young Masters, the head disciple of the Tianling Spirit Palace's younger generation.

Yun Bai always appeared calm and gentle, just as Ling Zhenfei had first seen him.

Ling Zhenfei had met Yun Bai before, at Xianling Mountain.

Back then, Murong Liuqing seemed very familiar with Yun Bai, and when Murong Liuqing spoke to Yun Bai, Ling Zhenfei also met him.

Yun Bai still appeared calm, but was his appearance at this moment really so calm?

Yun Bai said, "I've always been curious about what kind of man would have captured Junior Sister Murong's heart, speaking so well of you everywhere."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I don't quite understand what you mean, Senior Brother Yun Bai."

Yun Bai said, "Murong Liuqing has visited several sects, persuading them on your behalf, saying you're not some foreign races' spy, not a traitor to humanity. I've never seen her so concerned about someone before."

Ling Zhenfei said, "You speak as if you truly understand her, but she's merely stating a fact."

Yun Bai laughed and said, "But while others may doubt her explanation, I don't. Others may not know you, but I do. You killed disciples of our Tianling Spirit Palace and many from the Cultivators Alliance.

Even if you're not a traitor to humanity, the disciples of our Tianling Spirit Palace will never forgive you. Anyone who sees you would want you dead."

Ling Zhenfei said, "So you're here to cause trouble?"

Yun Bai said, "I'm not here to cause trouble; I'm here to remove a menace from society. Keeping you alive will only bring disaster."

Ling Zhenfei knew he could never clear his name, but what did it matter? Why would he need anyone's forgiveness or pardon?

Ling Zhenfei said, "I don't have anything to explain. They call you the foremost of the Four Young Masters, let's see what you're capable of."

With that, Ling Zhenfei's Tang sword was at his back, a burst of Northern Spiritual Energy flowing to the blade, accumulating in the scabbard, ready to strike at any moment.

Yun Bai's longsword was also in hand. The sword appeared simple and unadorned, but judging by the scabbard, it wasn't an ordinary treasure.

Ling Zhenfei's Northern Spiritual Energy was ready, but he had a lingering doubt in his heart; if he used it, other cultivators would surely notice.

A single Yun Bai wasn't enough to worry Ling Zhenfei, but if the Tianling Spirit Palace sent more experts, that would be another matter.

But there was no time to think now because Yun Bai had already unsheathed his sword, thrusting it towards Ling Zhenfei.

This thrust was imbued with abundant Northern Spiritual Energy. The head disciple of Tianling Mountain was indeed extraordinary.

The spiritual energy on Yun Bai's sword was abundant, and the technique was unique, displaying complex movements with the sword casting an illusory shadow.

Ling Zhenfei had previously fought with people from Tianling Mountain and was well-aware of their swordsmanship, but this was the first time he encountered such techniques.

Yun Bai, the foremost of the Four Young Masters and the chief disciple of Tianling Spirit Palace's younger generation, possessed exceptional prowess.

However, Ling Zhenfei was not intimidated, using his Boundless Blade Technique to engage Yun Bai in battle.

The Boundless Blade Technique clashing against Yun Bai's Tianling Swordsmanship.
