Chapter One Fainted

  "Boom!"

  A deafening explosion shook the sky, startling Xiao Ran awake from his meditation. A suffocating pressure made him feel extremely uncomfortable, both physically and mentally. At a loss for what to do, he looked up at the sky, and in almost an instant, he was stunned!

  A hole with a diameter of tens of miles suddenly appeared in the sky!

  What's going on?

  Is the sky going to fall?

  "Haha! Xuan Yangzi, even if your cultivation increases tenfold, you're still no match for me. Just accept your fate in this lifetime!"

  This voice is Master!

  Good heavens! The old man is incredibly powerful, and has actually charged into Zhengyi Sect alone with his sword!

  Xiao Ran was shocked and delighted, looking at the cave with a diameter of tens of miles, feeling extremely unbelievable in his heart. Could it be that humans could really become so powerful as to pierce through the sky?

  "If you're really capable, don't run away. Let's have a fair fight and see who wins. What kind of skill is running away with your tail between your legs?"

  A deafening explosion shook the air, and Xiao Ran, who was in the misty city, felt his ears ringing. He looked at Yunmeng Mountain dozens of miles away, and he was shocked again!

  The warriors of this world are too powerful, a loud roar can travel hundreds of miles, and even from such a distance, the eardrums are shocked to ache. If you're close by, wouldn't you be killed by just one shout?

  Thinking of Shifu Ren Yao, Xiao Ran was excited, such a powerful master, in the future as long as he learned his skills, wouldn't he also become so strong.

  ……

  The sky was filled with countless figures flashing by, Ren You rode his horse at the forefront, and closely following behind him was a purple-robed warrior with an ethereal and elegant demeanor. The speed of these two people was evenly matched, while all the others had long been left far behind.

  The purple-robed warrior, who was right behind him, saw that he had used all his strength but still couldn't shorten the distance with Ren Yao. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth and roared repeatedly. Although his realm was higher than Ren Yao's by one level, this Ren Yao didn't know how to cultivate, and the thickness of her true yuan was not inferior to hers at all. If it went on like this, she would let this guy run away again, and their sect's face had been lost several times already.

  Ren You's triumphant laughter echoed in response to the angry roar of the Purple Robe Warrior.

  "Wow! Isn't this Lord Yue? You're chasing after me so tightly, could it be that you want to change your mind and have your daughter marry my younger brother instead? Haha! It's truly a favor that's hard to refuse! Just now, my younger brother was just in the bridal chamber with your beloved daughter."

  The purple-robed warrior was none other than Ziyu's father, Zimuzhen Tian. He was the true number one master of his sect. Upon hearing Ren Yao's unbridled words, his eyes widened in rage and a thunderous roar erupted from his throat, causing his speed to increase by 30% in an instant.

  Father-in-law suddenly accelerated like he had taken a stimulant, and Ran Yao was startled. He quickly closed his mouth and sped up to escape. If they were really caught, it would be big trouble.

  As they saw the distance between them narrowing, Zǐ Mù Tiān was exceptionally excited. He seemed to have already envisioned the scene of cutting down his opponent with his sword, and his speed had unknowingly increased by another fraction.

  Suddenly, just as Ren You entered the attack range of Zǐ Mù Tiān, he suddenly disappeared. Zǐ Mù Tiān stopped with difficulty, his divine sense frantically scanning this sky, and instantly he was shocked to discover that within a hundred miles around, there was no longer any trace of Ren You.

  How is it possible?

  Just now it was clearly in front of me, how did it suddenly disappear?

  Shock! Extreme shock!

  Zi Mu Tian couldn't believe his eyes as he scanned the area again, shocked to find that Ren Yao had truly vanished into thin air. For a moment, he struggled to accept this reality. Even if Ren Yao's true yuan density was not inferior to his own, after all, he was one realm lower than him and was by no means his match, it was impossible for him to escape so easily.

  Was someone secretly involved and rescued him without his knowledge?

  In the midst of Zǐ Mù Tiān's astonishment, dozens of figures appeared beside him. Among them, a furious Xiǎo Yáng Zǐ rushed to the front of Zǐ Mù Tiān, his eyes wide with rage, and shouted: "Where is he? Are you going to let him get away?"

  Zi Mu Tian's eyebrows were deeply furrowed, making people want to escape from under his eyelids. He was already depressed to the extreme, and now this guy was bringing up whatever he could to make things difficult for him, with an attitude that was even more overbearing.

  "Xuanyangzi, you've disappointed me too much. As the leader of Zhengyi Sect, how could you let people run wild within the sect for three times? You've completely ruined the reputation of the number one sect in the world."

  Xuanyangzi's whole body trembled with fear, unsure whether it was due to being enraged or intimidated by Zimuwu Tian. He stammered: "Father-in-law! I..."

  "I, an old man, have never had a son-in-law like you. What have you been doing all these years? Are you worthy of my daughter?" Upon hearing Xuan Yangzi call him father-in-law, Zi Mu Tian's anger suddenly flared up.

  "But she today..."

  "Hum! You still have the nerve to say that if it weren't for your constant messing around outside, today's events wouldn't have happened. This is all your own doing."

  Xuanyangzi's breath was rapid and his whole body trembled with rage, his fists clenched tightly as he roared: "Are you going to let that bastard Ren You get away with it?"

  "What do you want to do then? Launch a surprise attack on the Sword Sect? Let's not even talk about whether we can win or not, but even if we did, we would be expelled from the righteous sects. There are countless people waiting to see us make fools of ourselves."

  Then he coldly said: "Xuanyangzi, you don't have to hold the position of leader anymore. Xuanyinzi, from now on you will act as the temporary leader until a new one is elected."

  "Where has Elder Taishang gone?" asked Xuan Yinzong, his eyes flashing with excitement, as he hastily spoke with respect.

  "It just disappeared here."

  Zi Mù Tiān's face turned gloomy, with purple electric sparks flashing in his eyes. To deceive his divine sense, the other party must have already entered a strong person's Dōngtiān or become one with the world. As soon as he thought of this, Zi Mù Tiān's expression changed, and his eyes scanned the space in surprise. The cultivation of the person who could deceive his perception was probably at a terrifying level.

  "From now on, no one is allowed to mention Ren You's affairs again, that's it, let's go!"

  He took a last glance at the space, and ZiTian turned into a sword light that disappeared on the horizon. The others looked at each other, and helplessly returned one after another, leaving only XuanYangZi standing still in mid-air with an iron-green face.

  Xuanyangzi watched as one by one the people left, his eyes wide with rage, his mouth continuously letting out angry roars, his grievances and resentment filling the sky and earth.

  "I'd rather die than kill someone with the surname Ren!"

  ……

  The scenery in front of him changed suddenly, Ren You stopped dead in his tracks, his eyes scanning the sky and earth in astonishment.

  Suddenly, a majestic figure appeared in this world, with his hands behind his back, as if everything in the world was revolving around him. Yan Rao slowly fell to the ground and walked towards the man, because he felt a familiar aura on him.

  The majestic man slowly turned around, revealing an extremely ordinary face. His appearance was average, but his eyes were like stars shining brightly, and at this moment, he was smiling at Ren Yao with a smile on his face.

  "Second Master! You... how did you come to Tianyuan?"

  Ren Yao looked at the man in front of her with surprise and delight, went forward and gave him a big hug, she was so excited.

  "It's not Master himself, but rather his young apprentice. It seems you've been living a comfortable life in Tianyuan and have gained quite the reputation."

  Everything just now was seen by Second Brother, Ren You said awkwardly: "Hehe, so-so. Second Brother, you came to Tianyuan, wasn't it just to find me?"

  "Haha, little brother, Master wants me to take you back right away."

  "Horse... going back right away?" Ren Yao's eyes rolled around, and he said in a flattering tone: "Second Brother, I've just taken on an apprentice and haven't had a chance to pass on my mantle to him yet. Don't you think we can extend the deadline a bit?"

  Second Master's expression changed to one of sudden realization, and he said with a smile: "Well, since you're his successor, that counts as part of our lineage too. You should take on the responsibility of teaching him, but Master is quite particular, so it's better if you hand over to your junior apprentice first before following me, lest Master has to personally come and escort you back?"

  "Only entrust this one thing, as a master I would be too irresponsible if I didn't."

  "Little brother, you should be happy," said the second master with a smile. "If the eldest master were here, he wouldn't bother talking to you. By now, you'd probably already be having a face-to-face chat with your father."

  With a wave of his hand, Ren Yao left his world, leaving behind many excuses that he hadn't had time to say. Looking at the sky of Tianyuan, where he had lived for thousands of years, Ren Yao was stunned, feeling a hundred different emotions in his heart - was this really goodbye?

  "Little brother, remember to return to Tianyun Sword Sect within today. Otherwise, your father will come to pick you up personally."

  Are you going back today?

  The depression in Rongyang's heart, today is almost over, he has been running back and forth in this world for a long time. But as soon as he thought of his father's angry face, he had to rise into the air and rush forward with all his might.

  ……

  The clouds in the sky gradually gathered, Xiao Ran's heart was extremely excited at this moment, and he had completely lost his interest in cultivation. He looked up at the sky, expecting Master to return as soon as possible.

  Such a shocking collision naturally startled everyone in the entire Fog City, just as Xiao Ran was anxiously waiting, thinking that his master had encountered some mishap, he suddenly returned like a flash of lightning.

  Xiao Ran hastily welcomed him and asked with a face full of admiration: "Master, have you succeeded in getting the wife of Xuan Yangzi?"

  Ren You heard this and burst out laughing: "Although we didn't manage to snatch it, we've already made that guy wear a rather large green hat. I dare say that guy's position as sect leader is secure."

  Xiao Ran was about to speak excitedly when Ren Yao waved his hand and interrupted, "Don't talk, Master is in a hurry now, there's something I need to entrust you with."

  Here is the translation:

  "By the way, Ren Yao took out a ring and quickly selected some items from his storage ring to put into this one. Only then did he say: 'Take it, inside is one of your War Clan's four ultimate skills, the "Heavenly Demon Technique". Consider it returned to its rightful owner. At the same time, I've included many of our sect's key techniques and some of my personal collection. You can practice them slowly on your own later. Remember! I come from the Sword Sect, in the Tianyun Mountains of Dashen Country. Your master is a first-generation disciple, so you will be a second-generation disciple of the Sword Sect from now on. Don't forget to visit when you have time, and don't tarnish my reputation..."

  When the last sentence came, Ren You had already disappeared into the horizon, leaving only a bewildered Xiao Ran standing there, stunned and motionless. After a while, he looked at the ring in his hand, and suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of resentment in his heart.

  This ring is useless without the incantation!

  Luckily you gave me a boxing manual beforehand, otherwise those few heads would have been beaten in vain.

  Just as Xiao Ran was feeling melancholic, a sudden loud noise pierced the air. In almost an instant, two beautiful figures appeared before him. The two were Zhan Wan'er and Ren Qianyao. Looking at Xiao Ran's gloomy face, the former asked with concern: "Zhan Er, what's wrong? You look so unhappy."

  Although the new master is not reliable, Xiao Ran was very satisfied and thought of his reputation, excitedly saying: "Mother, I just took a master, he's very powerful!"

  Zhan Wan'er's face changed, and she hastily asked: "Just now someone came to Miao Yu Zhai, who was it? Did he do anything to you?"

  Xiao Ran smiled excitedly and said: "He is the Sword Immortal Ren Yao, he taught a set of fist techniques that can improve your physique."

  "Is Xianjian Renyao?"

  Ren Qianyao's whole body shook, and the next moment she was already kneeling in front of Xiao Ran, grabbing his shoulders with one hand, and anxiously asked: "Is your master gone?"

  Seeing Yao Yi's excited and urgent appearance, Xiao Ran immediately confirmed his own speculation. His master indeed had an affair with Yao Yi. He honestly said: "He just left."

  "What?"

  Ren Qianyao's face fell, and she muttered to herself: "Since he has already come, why can't he take a look at me? Why did he leave as soon as he said he would?"

  Xiao Ran looked at Yao Yi's jade face, which was woven with a sense of loss and resentment, and the fire of gossip in his heart burned fiercely. It seemed that Shifu and Yao Yi had a story to tell. After thinking for a moment, Xiao Ran spoke words of comfort: "Yao Yi, my master shouldn't be avoiding you."

  Ren Qianyao's eyes lit up and she asked: "What is that?"

  Xiao Ran excitedly said: "Not long ago, Master he went alone with his sword to avenge the Xuan Yangzi, at that time he was busy running away, how could he have had time to meet you in secret."

  Ren Qianyao's face showed a hint of joy, and she stretched out her jade finger to tap Xiao Ran's forehead, scolding: "Little ghost, no wonder he took you as his apprentice, you two are simply alike in character."
