I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

"Haha, my time to rise, Xie Lingfeng, has arrived!"

Xie Lingfeng, who was in the midst of honing his Sword Intent, laughed heartily upon hearing the caretaker's words.

"Brother Xu has actually come to see me!"

He shot into the air and headed straight for the mansion of the City Lord.

Xie Tianheng paused, Xu Yan had come?

This meant he wouldn't have to go to the Eighteen States?

"Xu Yan? Could it be the Xu Yan from the Eighteen States?"

Fu Yun looked incredulous, then turned to Xie Tianheng, "Do you and your son know Xu Yan?"

Xie Tianheng nodded, "The Sword Dao that Lingfeng practices was taught by Xu Yan. My Sword Dao also stems from the same root; the Martial Arts that Lingfeng practices belongs to Xu Yan."

Standing outside the City Lord's mansion in Yuntian, Xu Yan couldn't help feeling impressed by Xie Tianheng's resourcefulness. He wondered how he managed to marry Xie Lingfeng's mother.

The young mistress of the Spirit Sect of Yuntian in the Azure Sea of the Ling Domain, who had agreed to marry him—a martial artist from the Inner Domain—it was utterly unbelievable.

When Xu Yan arrived in Yuntian City and asked about the whereabouts of the Sword King of the Azure Sea, he was told that the Sword King resided at the City Lord's mansion.

Despite their disdain for the Sword King—the man viewed as the foremost Sword Dao martial artist in the Azure Sea but who was supported by his wife—Xu Yan could see the envy in their eyes.

Arriving at the City Lord's mansion in Yuntian, Xu Yan couldn't help but admire the grandeur of the mansion that resembled a grand city—it was indeed worthy of the Transcendent Spirit Sect that ruled the Azure Sea.

After announcing his intentions, Xu Yan began his wait.

Shortly, a figure flew in—it was the long-lost Xie Lingfeng.

"Brother Xu!"

Tears welled up in Xie Lingfeng's eyes, he could finally continue his cultivation, and he could once again hold his head high, and suppress those who had been defeated by his hands.

"Brother Xie, long time no see!"

Xu Yan was all smiles.

"Indeed, it has been years, and I've missed you dearly."

The words were filled with nostalgia from Xie Lingfeng.

"Brother Xu, this isn't the place for reminiscing. Let's go inside and catch up!"

"Sure!"

Xu Yan nodded.

As he was about to follow Xie Lingfeng into the City Lord's mansion, a mocking voice suddenly rang out, "Oh, look! Isn't that Xie Lingfeng, the son of the Sword King, and the once pride and joy of the world of Sword Dao? Dare to step outside today?"

The word "once" being stressed in the sentence.

Xie Lingfeng's face darkened, while Xu Yan didn't even bother to turn his head, he just casually swung a slap backward.

"I hate the sound of flies buzzing around my ear."

Smack!

The man who had made a mockery was sent flying, landing heavily on the ground, his face swelling up instantly.

"Brother Xie, let's go!"

Xu Yan casually spoke, treating the matter as if he was swatting a fly.

Xie Lingfeng was stunned for a moment, then a smile spread across his face. This was Xu Yan's way.

"Please!"

He led Xu Yan into the City Lord's mansion, but his face showed his embarrassment. "I apologize for the display, Brother Xu. That man has quite a background in Yuntian City. He was once defeated by me, but he is now stronger than I am, so he has gotten cocky."

"No worries, Brother Xie. You'll soon put him back in his place."

Xu Yan merely chuckled.

Xie Lingfeng, the grandson of the City Lord, was being mocked and ridiculed, showing just how low the once bright star had fallen.

"In Yuntian City, it is customary that the elders don't interfere in the younger generation's disputes, and the same applies to the City Lord's mansion. Especially when there's conflict among Yuntian's leading powers, so long as it doesn't escalate to life and death, the elders don't step in."

Xie Lingfeng explained with a bitter smile.

To avoid being beaten up by those he had once defeated, he had not left the City Lord's mansion for quite some time.

Being the son of the Sword King and the grandson of the City Lord came with its pressures. If he were to be defeated, it would only bring shame to the City Lord's mansion, and no one within the mansion would seek retribution on his behalf.

"Xie Lingfeng, as the grandson of the City Lord, you dared to allow someone to attack me openly. You're too arrogant. I challenge you to a face-off!"

"Hand him over! Attacking a genius openly in front of the City Lord's mansion, what crime should such a person be charged with? We plead with the City Lord's mansion to arrest this attacker!"

Outside the City Lord's mansion, the cries of anger rang out.

A big commotion was stirred up.

Xu Yan stopped in his tracks.

"Brother Xu, don't bother about him. My mother will handle this."

Xie Lingfeng said helplessly.

"I can handle small matters like this myself. No need to bother others!"

Xu Yan replied, as he turned around and walked back.

Xie Lingfeng's face twitched, he hurriedly followed. He looked around for his parents with a troubled expression. Why weren't they stepping in yet?

Knowing Xu Yan's temperament, he was certain that things would only escalate.

"Great Commander, someone is causing trouble at the gates of the City Lord's mansion, openly challenging Yuntian Azure Sea City. We ask the Great Commander to ensure justice is served!"

"Yes, we plead with the Great Commander to ensure justice is served!"

Quite a crowd had gathered outside the City Lord's mansion.

All of them were either previously defeated by Xie Lingfeng, or held a grudge against Xie Tianheng. They were all eager to take this opportunity to exert some pressure.

"You're looking for me?"

Xu Yan walked out of the City Lord's mansion.

Outside the City Lord's mansion, the crowd was bustling. Most of them were there just to watch the spectacle.

The genius who had been struck was currently holding his swollen cheek and pointed at Xu Yan, "It was him, who brazenly attacked right outside the City Lord's mansion. I implore the Great Commander to ensure justice is served!"

Smack!

Before he could finish, he was met with a fierce slap on the other cheek. His head nearly twisted to the side, and he stood there, dumbfounded.

The rest of the crowd was stunned as well.

Just who was this brutal man who dared to strike someone in front of the Great Commander!
