“Yuan’er, what did he say to you? Why did you suddenly decide to leave Black
Wind Town and abandon your plan to go to the Black Wind Forest?” On the way out of Black Wind Town, the old woman asked uncertainly.
“He only speculated that someone was trying to make a move on me and urged me to return to the Imperial City as soon as possible.” Xia Yuan narrowed her eyes, gazing in the direction of the Imperial City, and spoke slowly: “However, I won’t immediately return to the Imperial City. I want to ask my grandfather to step forward and see who wants to kill me.”
“Is his word trustworthy?” The old woman frowned. “Isn’t calling for your grandfather a bit of an overreaction?”
She was already over 160 years old.
And Xia Yuan’s grandfather, even older than her, was already 200 years old and a powerful existence in the Xia Royal Family.
“I didn’t fully believe his words, but I also feel that my siblings would take the opportunity to kill me if they can. To be on the safe side, calling for my grandfather is the best option.” Xia Yuan shook her head, looking increasingly cold: “If someone dares to try anything, I won’t care if they’re my brothers and sisters anymore.”
“Sigh.” The old woman fell silent for a moment, shook her head, and could only sigh.
She had been through all these struggles and knew what these people were capable of in order to seize the throne.
So every time the throne changed hands, there would undoubtedly be a bloodbath, and many princes and princesses would die tragically in the struggle for power.
When Xia Yuan was planning to use her fishing method, Wang Ping also left Black Wind Town and headed towards Sword Spirit Sect.
At dusk the following day, Wang Ping arrived at the entrance of the Sword Spirit Sect.
The Sword Spirit Sect was established on the Green Spirit Mountain Range, with beautiful scenery and rich Spiritual Energy, making it very suitable for cultivation.
This place was also where the cultivators of Xia yearned to be, and joining the Sword Spirit Sect was considered a great honor for them.
After all, the history of Xia was only 500 years, and the dynasty was already coming to an end, while the Sword Spirit Sect had a history of a thousand years, always standing at the peak of the Green Spirit Mountain Range, overlooking the land.
Even during Xia’s most prosperous period, the Xia imperial court didn’t want to provoke the Sword Spirit Sect but adopted a policy of befriending them, showing the extraordinary status of the Sword Spirit Sect.
“This is the entrance of the Sword Spirit Sect, stop where you are.”
Soon after, Wang Ping walked along the mountain stone stairs and came to the entrance of the Sword Spirit Sect, where he was stopped by two guarding disciples.
“My name is Wang Ping, a 4th Tier alchemist who seeks to join the Sword Spirit Sect. I kindly request that you inform your Sect Master.” Wang Ping looked at the two disciples and spoke calmly.
“What!? ”
“A 4th Tier Alchemist?”
The two disciples looked shocked, somewhat disbelieving.
“Are you really a 4th Tier Alchemist? You seem too young to be one.” One of the disciples questioned suspiciously.
There were only a few Tier 4 Alchemists in Xia, and their Sword Spirit Sect only had one at the moment.
It was hard to believe that a young man in his twenties claimed to be a 4th Tier Alchemist.
“Being young doesn’t mean being low-skilled in alchemy.” Wang Ping said calmly, “Or do you think I would dare to lie to the Sword Spirit Sect?”
“Uh…” The two mountain-protecting disciples looked at each other, feeling that Wang Ping had a point.
Indeed, no one had ever dared to deceive the Sword Spirit Sect, which would be like an old man seeking death by hanging himself.
“Please wait here, I will inform the Sect Master immediately.”
Immediately, one disciple spoke respectfully to Wang Ping before rushing into the sect, showing off his impressive lightness skill.
Soon, two figures appeared inside the Sword Spirit Sect.
A somewhat refined middle-aged man, riding a flying sword, arrived with the mountain -protecting disciple.
Wang Ping squinted at the man riding the sword in the sky.
Sword Spirit Sect Sect master Zhang Yuan appeared to be gentle and elegant but was in fact ruthless and cunning, hiding his true nature very well.
He was also someone Wang Ping had wanted to kill recently.
However, Wang Ping from the previous free simulation had grown too slowly and never made a move against Zhang Yuan.
Of course, Wang Ping could understand why.
After all, without resorting to drugs, his cultivation speed was indeed slower, but his foundation was solid, allowing him to go further.
Unfortunately, the Wang Ping from the previous free simulation never found an opportunity to reasonably kill Zhang Yuan before he was killed by the suddenly emerging Demon MO Fan.
However, when Demon MO Fan killed Wang Ping from the Sword Spirit Sect, it was certain that Zhang Yuan would die too.
“Fellow Taoist, you claim to be a 4th Tier Alchemist, is that true?”
Zhang Yuan came in front of Wang Ping, riding his sword, and asked curiously.
Initially, when one of his disciples reported the news, Zhang Yuan didn’t pay attention to Wang Ping’s age or appearance.
After all, those in the Innate Realm had a lifespan of 200 years, and those in the Spiritual Origin Realm had a lifespan of 300 years.
Some people who appeared to be in their twenties might actually be sixty, seventy, or even over a hundred years old.
Since he was at the third tier of the Spiritual Origin Realm, he could see that Wang Ping was at the Spiritual Origin Realm.
So he thought Wang Ping was actually over seventy years old.
Of course, a 4th Tier Alchemist at the age of seventy with Spiritual Origin Realm cultivation was already extremely astonishing. In the history of Xia, there had never been such a person..
