Chapter 168.1
One thing is for certain: this must be an unfamiliar Great Grandmaster who was not recorded by the Demon Sect.
Secondly, maybe that Great Grandmaster have a connection with Lin Beifan, and maybe an extremely close one at that. Otherwise, why would they come here to potentially protect him?
So, the situation is becoming clearer.
The stunningly beautiful woman meticulously recalled information about Lin Beifan, including all the powerful figures he had come into contact with.
Finally, a mysterious figure emerged in her mind.
That swordsman!
According to the information she had gathered, there had always been a powerful swordsman behind Lin Beifan.
Although he had never shown his face and no one knew his origins or identity, he always intervened when Great Xia was in danger.
The first time he took action was when the allied forces of the Shang, An, and Peng nations attacked Great Xia.
The opponent did not show his face, but with just one move, he killed all the Innate experts from a distance.
The second time he intervened was when the Money Gang sent experts to deal with the foolish emperor.
Again, without showing his face, with just one move, he killed all those experts.
The third time he acted was when they sent Innate experts to collect the genius earth treasure, the Nine-Eyed White Jade Lotus Pod, and encountered a powerful giant snake.
Once more, without revealing himself, with just one move, he beheaded the snake.
The fourth time he took action was when the sword-casting Master Ouyezi came to cause trouble.
Similarly, without showing his face, he struck him down with a single palm.
The fifth time he acted was when An Lushan and Shi Siming rebelled and joined forces with outsiders to attack Great Xia.
At that time, they had enlisted the help of the Beheader Hand Chou Yin, who possessed peak Imperial Qi strength, and Great Xia faced an unprecedented crisis.
But that senior swordsman, still without revealing himself, resolved the situation with a single move.
His interventions were not frequent, but each time he acted, he turned the tide and resolved the crises facing Great Xia.
His strength was immense, unfathomably so, unpredictable, and regardless of the opponent, he resolved the conflict with a single move.
If Great Xia had a Great Grandmaster behind it, it was very likely that it was that mysterious figure.
The beautiful womans thoughts became clearer.
If he can kill a peak Imperial Qi expert with one move, he at least has the strength of a Grandmaster and not just an ordinary Grandmaster! Since hes at least a Grandmaster, why couldnt he be a Great Grandmaster? Its always a one-move kill!
The reason he has never shown himself might be because he disdains interacting with those of lower strength and status, and he cares even less about dynastic struggles, which to him are like childs play!
As long as it does not endanger the life of that foolish emperor, he cant be bothered to act!
In the past, he intervened whenever that foolish emperor faced danger, and this time should be no exception!
His appearance here is perfectly normal!
She continued to think further, shifting her perspective to dig deeper.
Although Lin Beifan is scorned by the outside world as the foolish emperor, he is actually as cunning as a ghost, never fighting a battle he isnt sure of winning. Its too difficult to make him suffer a loss! This time, leading the troops himself is no different!
So, he must be absolutely certain of victory in this battle to dare to lead his troops here!
What kind of reliance could give him such confidence?
The Sword Elder with the divine sword? Impossible!
Although he is powerful, wielding a divine sword and capable of exchanging over a hundred moves with a Grandmaster, he is ultimately not a Grandmaster. The vast gap in strength is insurmountable, and in the end, he was defeated!
A formation of a million-strong army is also impossible!
This thing is very powerful, but it also has significant limitations! As long as someone breaks into the midst of the army and slaughters, disrupting the formation, then Great Xia will lose! Hes too shrewd not to have thought of this!
So, theres only one possibility!
The breathtakingly beautiful womans eyes grew brighter and brighter: Its because he has a Great Grandmaster by his side, which is why he can fearlessly ensure that this military operation is foolproof! Thats his real confidence!
It all makes sense!
Everything fits together now!
The breathtakingly beautiful woman let out a sigh of relief.
Although there is no concrete evidence yet to prove the relationship between the two, the beautiful woman is eighty percent sure in her heart that the mysterious Great Grandmaster is the sword master behind the foolish emperor, and they share a deep connection.
This sword master has always been protecting the foolish emperor from the shadows.
Whenever he faces danger, the Master will intervene.
After resolving the crisis, the Master continues to remain hidden, keeping their achievements and fame a secret.
Yaoyao, this foolish emperor friend youve made is even more formidable than you imagined! The beautiful woman smiled meaningfully.
Yaoyao looked confused: Master, what are you talking about? I dont understand
You dont need to understand. Understanding wont do you any good. Just interact with him as you usually would! The beautiful woman gently stroked Yaoyaos head while smiling.
If Yaoyao knew that Lin Beifan had a Great Grandmaster backing him, their interactions would become unnatural, inevitably tainted with ulterior motives.
Therefore, she did not plan to share her suspicions with her young disciple.
Letting the two of them interact naturally would foster genuine affection, which could bring unimaginable benefits to their Demon Sect.
As for matters of interest, it was better for her, as the Master, to handle them.
Okay! Yaoyao was even more puzzled.
All she knew was that her Master would not harm her, and that was enough.
My dear disciple, get ready, were going to visit the Great Xia Emperor!
Okay, Master!
Inside the tent, Lin Beifan unconsciously opened his eyes.
He checked the time and was astonished.
His brain had been rapidly practicing various martial arts, integrating and rehearsing them thousands of times, feeling as if centuries had passed, yet in reality, it was just a moment.
Although the time was brief, his strength had genuinely increased.
The capacity of the True Qi sea within him had not increased much, but the True Qi itself had become much purer, its power more than tripled!
Just a thread of True Qi now possessed the power to penetrate divine weapons!
Nourished by such True Qi, his body had become even stronger, comparable to divine weapons.
Even if he did not protect himself and stood in front of someone, they would not be able to harm him unless it was with a divine weapon like the Xuanxiao Sword that had a chance to break through his defenses.
Most crucially, his understanding of martial arts had reached a new level, very close to the Dao.
It could be called the Martial Dao, entering the Dao through martial arts.
This feeling was mysterious and difficult to explain.
All he knew now was that if he faced his pre-breakthrough self, he could suppress him with just one hand.
No matter how many martial arts techniques and secret skills you know, as long as you are not on the same level as him, as long as you are not a Great Grandmaster, you will never be able to defeat me!
Under the Grandmaster, all are mere ants!
Even under the Great Grandmaster, they are still ants!
Thats how formidable it is!
Thats how invincible it is!
Ive become stronger again! Sigh its lonely to be invincible Lin Beifan sighed.
If these provocative words were heard by outsiders, they would definitely not be able to resist beating him up.
