Chapter 191: Chapter 128: Completion of Clear-hearted Swordsmanship, Reward in Wushuang Pavilion_2

Translator: 549690339

His mindset had been finely honed, and he had broken through and achieved pure clarity in sword intent. Having comprehended the essence of nurturing life through earth and heavens and nurturing the sword in his heart, it was time to depart.

His next destination, the Seven-star Study Palace!

Xu Yan looked at the Sword Intent of the Earth and Heavens. It contained all the sights he had seen while honing his mindset. He mulled it over in his heart. “Let’s name it ‘Earth and Heavens Phenomena’. This is just one part of it. Once ‘Earth and Heavens Phenomena’ is completed, how strong will my sword intent become?”

His heart was filled with anticipation, having understood the direction of the improvement of the Earth and Heavens Sword Intent.

“I’ve finished here and must take my leave.”

Xu Yan stood up and said with a bow.

The woman in plain clothes responded with a sweet smile, “Sir, do you not have any other intentions by coming here?”

“Intentions?”

Xu Yan was taken aback, falling into contemplation.

Upon seeing this, the woman in plain clothes stood up. The soft tenderness in her eyes and voice was unmistakable, “Sir, the beauty of my Wushuang Pavilion is unparalleled anywhere. Wouldn’t it be a regret to depart empty-handed?”

Upon hearing these words, Xu Yan’s eyes lit up. “Do you have a parting gift for me?”

The woman in plain clothes:…

“What kind of gift do you want, sir?”

Xie Lingfeng wants a gift? Why not give him one?

Such a talented young man, few can rival in the Inner Domain.

“Do you have a sixth rank spiritual medicine?”

Xu Yan eagerly asked, “If there is no sixth rank spiritual medicine, eighty thousand to a hundred thousand Spirit Crystals are also acceptable.”

The smile on the woman in plain clothes froze, and her mind went blank. Are you kidding? You are the sensation of the Martial Grand Cliff, wouldn’t you lack Spirit Crystals? Why are you so money-minded?

“Sir, of course we have Spirit Crystals, but there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world…”

Eighty thousand to a hundred thousand Spirit Crystals are not beyond Wushuang Pavilion’s means. If it can build good relationships with Xie Lingfeng, he will consider this friendship when he eventually takes control of Xie Lingfeng. Any formidable entity that wanted to mess with the Wushuang Pavilion would have to reconsider.

However, before she could finish speaking, Xu Yan shook his head. “I don’t want something that’s not freely given!”

The face of the woman in plain clothes turned dark, “You’re used to not paying for anything, aren’t you?”

“Farewell!”

Xu Yan bowed and turned to leave.

“Please, feel free to visit me anytime.”

The woman in plain clothes said.

“If I have time.”

Xu Yan replied perfunctorily.

When he came down from the top floor of Wushuang Pavilion, many martial artists had gathered below, looking at a portrait.

A steward of the Wushuang Pavilion started, “Whoever finds clues about this woman will receive a bounty of ten thousand Spirit Crystals. If you can bring her here to the Wushuang Pavilion, safe and sound, you will also receive one stalk of seventh rank Spiritual Medicine, a hundred thousand Spirit Crystals, and seven days of free entertainment in the Pavilion.”

Such a generous reward, it stirred the hearts of the martial artists in the Wushuang Pavilion.

Even the Grandmasters could not resist.

“Who is this woman? Why is the Wushuang Pavilion offering such a bounty for her? Did she escape from the Wushuang Pavilion?”

“Impossible to escape from the Wushuang Pavilion. Once you enter the Wushuang Pavilion, escaping is not an option.”

“I have to try to gather information about this woman for a hundred thousand Spirit Crystals!”

Xu Yan, who had just come down, suddenly lit up at their words. One hundred thousand Spirit Crystals and a stalk of seventh rank Spiritual Medicine?

This was a genuinely generous bounty.

His interest was immediately piqued. This seemed like a good opportunity to strike it rich.

In escorting Du Yuying, he had killed countless Grandmasters but had never managed to earn a hundred thousand Spirit Crystals in return.

So he approached as he asked, “Is she Wushuang Pavilion’s enemy? Thus, the high bounty.”

“No need for any misunderstanding. We in the Wushuang Pavilion are merely commissioning the bounty on behalf of someone else. Capturing this woman is someone else’s business.”

The steward of Wushuang Pavilion explained.

Xu Yan moved up for a closer look at the person in the picture, and his gaze suddenly turned cold.

Su Lingxiu!

The person with a bounty on her head turned out to be Su Lingxiu!

“The hidden hand behind the pursuit of my junior fellow apprentice sister, hiring the Wushuang Pavilion to offer a bounty, must be well connected. However, having come across this, how could I let them have their way?”

Xu Yan’s heart was filled with a chilling killing intent, but his face showed no hint of it. He stepped forward and took down the portrait.

“Sir, what are you…?”

The Wushuang Pavilion steward queried.

Xu Yan had gone straight to the top floor of Wushuang Pavilion upon entering, and not many people had seen him. Therefore, they could not instantly recognize him as “Xie Lingfeng.”

“I find this woman familiar. I think I’ve seen her somewhere. I’ll take this bounty.”

Xu Yan said with joy.

“Really?”

The steward asked, delighted.

“Of course, quickly show me where to get the bounty.”

Xu Yan urged.

“Young Master, please come with me!”

The supervisor urgently escorted Xu Yan away from the main hall of Wushuang Pavilion, leaving the rest of the martial artists with expressions of disappointment.

Just as the reward was announced, it was claimed.

There were also a few people, their eyes gleaming mysteriously, who quietly departed from Wushuang Pavilion.

“Young master, leave the clue with us. Once it’s confirmed, you can receive your reward,” the manager of the Pavilion said with a smile, leading him to an elegant room.

Xu Yan shook his head, “No! The reward for a clue is too small. Whoever wants to find the person, I’ll take them myself. They will have to pay me with a Seventh Rank Spiritual Medicine and one hundred thousand Spirit Crystals.”

“This…”

The manager was caught in a predicament.

“If they want to know where the person is, they shouldn’t be stingy. It can’t be less than one hundred thousand Spirit Crystals,” Xu Yan firmly stated.

After a moment of consideration, the manager replied, “How about this? Leave the clue here, once it is confirmed, we will reward you with one hundred thousand Spirit Crystals as per the highest bounty. How does that sound?”

Xu Yan sneered, “Truth be told, I don’t trust you. What if you capture the person and then deny the correctness of the clue, refusing to give me the Spirit Crystals. Wouldn’t I be working for nothing?

“Give me the Spirit Crystals, and I’ll personally lead you all. If we don’t find the person, I will return the entire sum!”

The manager, looking helpless, smiled, “Young Master must be joking, our

Wushuang Pavilion is trustworthy…”

“Have you pocketed the reward for yourself? And so you dithered, afraid to let anyone see me, in case they saw through your scam?

“Could it be that the actual reward is a million Spirit Crystals, not one hundred thousand? If that is the case, then I cannot give you the clue!”

Xu Yan said, suddenly staring at the manager as if he had understood something.

The manager with a darkened face finally nodded, “Then wait a moment, young master. I will notify the client. But 1 must remind you, once you lead them, you must be careful.”

Xu Yan laughed coldly, “What should I be careful about? Is your Wushuang Pavilion planning to kill to silence me?”

The manager flinched, “Don’t misunderstand, the client has no connection to us at Wushuang Pavilion, I was just reminding you to be cautiously on your guard.”

“Don’t worry, 1 know what I’m doing!”

Xu Yan responded nonchalantly.

“Then please wait a moment, young master.”

The manager left.

Xu Yan looked at the portrait of Su Lingxiu in his hand, his eyes icy. Since she was an enemy of his junior sister, she must be his enemy as well. Towards enemies, no mercy should be shown!

“Junior sister was worried about my safety in the Inner Domain and didn’t want to talk about the trouble she was running from, but now it seems that the other party possesses considerable power, even able to offer a reward through Wushuang Pavilion.

“This indicates that they don’t know junior sister fled to the borderlands. That Grandmaster from before must not have reported back.”

“Since I’ve come across this, not only will I take the Spirit Crystals, I will also take their lives!”

Xu Yan thought sinisterly.

The fact that Wushuang Pavilion’s manager warned him to be wary of being silenced by murder shows the client is not a kind character.

The manager came back.

“Young Master, please follow me.”

Xu Yan followed the manager out of Wushuang Pavilion, boarded a small boat, and embarked towards the outer edge of the Thousand Star Lake.

“Young master, won’t you reconsider? With us at Wushuang Pavilion acting as intermediaries, we can ensure your safety. The others would not dare to deceive us,” the manager tried to persuade him.

This woman must be very important to them. 1 feel that one hundred thousand Spirit Crystals might be too little. I plan to negotiate with them face to face and raise the price!”

Xu Yan spoke earnestly.

The manager:…

The small boat reached the outskirts of Thousand Star Lake, where two figures stood shrouded amongst the foliage. Both were cloaked in black robes, making it impossible to discern their faces.

Upon seeing them, Xu Yan felt a chill. One was a full-fledged Grandmaster martial artist, and the other a pinnacle Grandmaster.

Their attire was identical to that of the Grandmaster he had encountered earlier.

This power surely possessed great strength!

“Gentlemen, this is the young master who possesses the clue.”

The manager began to speak.

The pinnacle Grandmaster turned to Xu Yan and demanded in a deep voice, “You truly have seen the person in the painting?”

“Indeed, I once saw her healing someone in a certain place.”

Xu Yan nodded in response.

Upon hearing this, the two cloaked figures showed no further doubt, their eyes glittering with anticipation.

“Where is she? Tell us quickly!”

The urgency in their tone belied their desperate eagerness to find Su Lingxiu.

However, Xu Yan remained totally calm as the boat continued to sail towards the outer edge of Thousand Star Lake, seemingly unperturbed. “I will take you there, just make sure the Spirit Crystals are ready.”

Once the boat landed on the shore, Xu Yan disembarked, looking back at the black-robed figures following him.

The manager of Wushuang Pavilion immediately left. In her view, Xu Yan was walking the path of eventual death, and was bound to be murdered to cover their traces..
