Chapter 277: Sword Immortal’s Gift of Sword Intent (Seeking Monthly Tickets, Recommendations, and Support)_1
“If it had been eight hundred years ago, perhaps I would have taken you as an apprentice, but now…” the Female Sword Immortal slowly shook her head, “Unfortunately, I need to find that person first.”

Pei Jinye felt a force lifting him up, and he reluctantly looked over.

“Sword Immortal Senior, for us to have met twice amidst the vast sea of people, that must be fate…”

The Female Sword Immortal softly said, “Fate is something destined by heaven. I bestow upon you my Three Sword Intents. If you are still alive next year, I will make an exception and take you as my apprentice.”

Pei Jinye’s heart leaped with joy, “Thank you, Sword Immortal Senior.”

As the Female Sword Immortal extended her hand.

Pei Jinye subconsciously raised his hand, suddenly feeling three Sword Intents entwining around his palm.

“These Three Sword Intents will keep you safe three times, and you may also meditate to comprehend them. If you can grasp something from them, it will be your own good fortune, which no one can take away.”

The Female Sword Immortal spoke calmly, her calmness stemming more from a numbness of having seen too much of the mortal world.

Pei Jinye thanked her, his gaze irresistibly drawn to the Bloody Disc in her hand.

It seemed the Female Sword Immortal saw through his thoughts, shaking her head, “This thing should never have appeared in the world of mortals. Do you want to become something that is neither human nor ghost?”

Pei Jinye glanced at Tu Xin’s corpse and discreetly shifted his gaze back, “The junior is just curious as to what exactly this thing is? It looks very bizarre.”

“It?” The Female Sword Immortal let out a peculiar smile, her hand exerted force, and the Bloody Disc instantly cracked with numerous fissures.

The next second.

A blood-colored worm, the size of a finger segment and as thin as a thread, shot out.

But the Female Sword Immortal easily pinched it between her slender fingers.

“This is?” Pei Jinye was witnessing this for the first time.

“Bloodthirsty Soul Worm, a type of Star Space Creature, usually controls a ‘host,’ giving it a consciousness of sacrifice. It seems to nourish the ‘host’ with a great deal of power, but in reality, it is merely draining the host’s foundation, and once the ‘host’ can no longer provide energy, it will be ruthlessly Devoured…” The Female Sword Immortal effortlessly snapped the blood-colored worm between her fingers.

She slowly raised her head, gazing into the night sky…

“Such Star Space Creatures have not appeared for a long time.”

Pei Jinye pondered before cautiously asking, “Senior, have you heard of a prophecy?”

The wooden expression of the Female Sword Immortal turned away.

Pei Jinye continued, “I have inadvertently sought information about it, but the details are unclear. It seems to imply… next year will be an extremely inauspicious one.”

The Bloody Disc in the hands of the Female Sword Immortal had already turned to dust, scattering into the air with a wave of her hand.

“Star Calendar 404, it is spoken of as ominous.”

She didn’t seem willing to say much more.

Turning her body.

As though detecting something.

The sword in the hands of the Female Sword Immortal was drawn three inches from the sheath.

With a “swoosh” noise.

Pei Jinye hadn’t even clearly seen how the Sword Immortal Senior had drawn the sword, but the ground before him instantly split open, the crack extending to an unknown distance…

Soon.

Begging sounds came from afar.

The Female Sword Immortal slowly turned around.

“I am leaving.”

Upon seeing this, Pei Jinye hastily said, “Senior, where will you go next?”

“I am going to search for that person…” the Female Sword Immortal said indifferently, her voice misty, and her whole figure slowly vanished into the mist.

“The person Senior is searching for, what does they look like? The junior is willing to lend Senior a helping hand,” Pei Jinye hurriedly said.

“I… do not know.”

The voice dispersed in mid-air, and the Female Sword Immortal completely disappeared.

Pei Jinye was stunned.

Doesn’t know what they look like?

How can this matter sound so mystical?

But considering the person in question was over 800 years old, it inherently seemed mystical.

Vague sounds of people running over came from the distance.

Suddenly, Pei Jinye leaped up, stepping on the breeze, cupped his fist in salute and said, “I respectfully send off Master!”

The next moment.

The commotion around him subsided instantly.

Pei Jinye, with an air of disdain, flickered through the air and quickly vanished from the spot.

Before long.

A group of Transcendents carefully approached.

Upon seeing Tu Xin’s corpse, they looked at each other.

“It’s the President of Simon Association.”

As they saw the terrifying ravine on the ground, a collective gasp erupted from the crowd.

“Hiss!”

“So the person just now really is the Sword Immortal from eight hundred years ago who was famous across the Federation?”

“With swordsmanship displayed to such extent, it must indeed be her. There were people saying that once the Lord Lotus Island’s inheritance emerged, she too appeared…”

“It seems the two are master and apprentice…”

“For such a significant figure as the Lord Lotus Island to be merely her disciple…”

“But Sword Dominator’s words from before… could he also be a disciple of the Sword Immortal?”

“Hiss!”

Another collective gasp sounded.

But doubt soon arose, “But he practices sword technique, whereas she is a Sword Immortal…”

“With such an enigmatic method to ‘suppress the Five Continents with a single sword,’ such a significant figure could train you with a kitchen knife if so she wished.”

People sighed with admiration.

“Since they are master and disciple, no wonder he could easily acquire the inheritance of Lord Lotus Island; there are no concerns for their own kind,” someone lamented.

“Let’s not harbor any illusions. You all felt that sword strike from the Sword Immortal just now. It was a warning. Poor old Yan refused to bow down, attempted to resist, and ended up reduced to slag.”

In the misty scene, everyone looked at the ruined surroundings, then dispersed on their own accord.

…

…

…

The bloody incident on Broken Cloud Mountain spread quickly through the Martial World of Da Peng City by around ten o’clock that very night.

A single stone raised a thousand ripples, quickly shocking the entire underworld of Da Peng City.

“The Simon Association was completely wiped out?”

“Sword Dominator actually managed to escape unscathed!”

“This person’s sword technique is unparalleled, he’s destined to become famous throughout the Federation…”

“The Black Ranking has changed, Sword Dominator is ranked 39.”

“Too strong, he went from a nobody to the notorious Black Ranking number 39 in just a month!”

Even the city hall became aware of this matter, and various departments held emergency meetings overnight.

“Who is Sword Dominator?”

“What are his social connections!”

“Is he really the Sword Immortal’s disciple or not?”

“Investigate!”

“Thoroughly investigate!”

…

No matter the turmoil, the bustle of the night market in the city center continued, with no one knowing that a jianghu skirmish had happened fifty kilometers away.

Pei Jinye, dressed in simple sportswear, walked through the night market, passing by some beggars and tossing them a few coins.

The recipients immediately showed their gratitude through tearful thanks.

“Brother Ye?”

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind Pei Jinye.

He turned his head to look.

A chubby boy came running over, panting with excitement, “Brother Ye, is it really you? I knew it! I saw you from a distance and thought it looked like you. Are you here to watch the fireworks too? Let’s go watch them together, Pang Qiang, Sun Ruofan, and Jiang Nanhan are all there.”

Pei Jinye looked up and saw three people approaching.

The boy seemed surprised, “Pei Jinye? Are you alright? Everyone was saying that you were severely ill, that’s why you took a leave.”

“…”

The chubby boy began to explain on the side.

The two girls also approached.

One with delicately shaped eyebrows and a small cherry mouth showed dimples on her cheeks as she greeted Pei Jinye with a sweet smile, “Student Pei, long time no see.”

Sun Ruofan greeted him proactively, her appearance more subtly elegant than her former childishness.

Pei Jinye nodded, “Long time no see.”

The chubby boy enthusiastically introduced the other girl, bright-eyed and snow-toothed, with a peachy smile as Li Yan, “This is Sister Han.”

“Hello, Jiang Nanhan.” Jiang Nanhan reached out her hand in greeting, revealing her clean, clear gaze, by contrast to Jiang Lingsu’s allure, Miss Jiang seemed as pure as dewy hibiscus.

Pei Jinye looked over.

Back when Lan Feng was around, this girl had been targeted by the Old Gods Association.

“Hello.”

“Let’s go, let’s go watch the fireworks and then have a late-night snack,” the chubby boy was good at creating a lively atmosphere, cheerfully leading everyone towards the riverbank.

It seemed that many people knew about tonight’s fireworks; families and couples gathered by the river.

Sun Ruofan stood next to Pei Jinye, the river breeze lifting the hair from her forehead, looking quite adorable.

“Student Pei, it seems like you haven’t been to the club for a long time.”

“…Yes, I’ve been quite busy,” Pei Jinye replied, looking at her, “Do you go there often?”

“I sometimes stop by after drawing,” Sun Ruofan said ingenuously.

Pei Jinye looked down at the railing outside the tumultuous river, saying nothing more.

The one from the Bronze Association always kept a low profile, and even if he spoke out, few would believe him given how entrenched his persona had become.

Moreover, Pei Jinye had no intention of speaking out.

Suddenly, Sun Ruofan pointed to a painted boat on the river, “Have you been on that before?”

“No, have you?”

“I have, I went with Sister Han a few days ago…”

The two chatted intermittently, seemingly without any sense of awkwardness.

Pang Qiang, seeing the two whispering to each other, felt somewhat jealous and tried to laugh it off heartily, “Pei Jinye, what have you been busy with during your time away from school? Does your family know you’ve taken a leave of absence?”

Pei Jinye looked at him, simply offering a light laugh in response.

Seeing that he wasn’t replying to his own question, but just giving him a smile, Pang Qiang felt awkward, but the chubby boy wrapped an arm around him, “Why are you worrying about nothing? Brother Ye has even sat in Ice Sister’s limo, have you? Honestly, I’ve been really curious what that’s like?”

Pang Qiang opened his mouth but stuttered, “Really?”

“Bullshit, I even took a stealth photo last time.”

The chubby boy pulled out his phone and brought up a photo.

Aside from Pang Qiang looking at it, Sun Ruofan also peeked out of curiosity.

Then she looked up at Pei Jinye, “Are you on good terms with Teacher Xiao?”

“She’s like a sister to me,” Pei Jinye said with a smile.

Sun Ruofan blinked, digesting the significance of the word “sister.”

Meanwhile, Jiang Nanhan said nothing, pretending to look composed while gazing at the river view, but her peripheral vision kept stealing glances at Pei Jinye.

In her mind echoed the voice of a burly woman, “My Lord, it’s him, it’s really him.”

“…”

…

Just then,

Pei Jinye received a call from Lin Xiawei and stepped aside.

“Someone is causing trouble in Da Peng City; go handle it. Good practice for you, I’ll send a driver for you. Be careful, the perpetrator is from Nagano,” she instructed succinctly.

“Am I allowed to draw blood?” Pei Jinye asked.

“If they attack law enforcement, you can take them down on the spot,” Lin Xiawei replied concisely.

Pei Jinye ended the call and looked towards the chubby boy and the others, “Something came up, I have to go. If you want to have a late-night meal, go to the hot pot restaurant; it’s on me tonight, I’ll have the staff reserve a private room for you.”

The chubby boy immediately cheered, “Brother Ye is so generous! Brother Ye is mighty! Brother Ye is rock hard every night!”

“…”

The two girls discreetly shifted their gaze away.

Pei Jinye cursed playfully and left.

Jiang Nanhan watched Pei Jinye leave, with Sister Kui’s voice continuing in her head, “My Lord, he’s your lifesaver!!!”

“…(Sister, can you stop talking? It’s so embarrassing.)”
