"Haha... Shameless? I don't think so. Sects like yours don't even need to come here; it's simply a waste of time."

"You're talking nonsense, I just..."

"Ningxin, there's no need for us to reason with a mad dog. He only dares to show off in front of us. In front of others, he wouldn't dare to make a peep!"

Ningxin was about to argue again, but Lin Shiyin interrupted with a cutting remark.

Every word was like a dagger, making the red-nosed old man's face flush with anger.

He could even hear the mocking laughter from some of the sects in front.

This undoubtedly made him lose face.

"Lin... Shiyin, do you believe I can make your Ethereal Sect vanish into thin air!"

He stood up abruptly, eyes wide with rage, glaring at Lin Shiyin, and shouted through gritted teeth.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread.com".

"Silence! Such a solemn assembly, how dare you make a scene here!"

Before Lin Shiyin could respond, the old man's actions were like a boulder thrown into a lake, instantly drawing the attention of the powerful figures in front.

The angry shout was like a thunderclap, instantly silencing the entire venue.

The red-nosed old man was so frightened that he trembled like a leaf and fell to his knees.

He had been blinded by anger and momentarily forgot the occasion, not expecting to disturb such a powerful figure.

Now, it was too late for regrets. The majesty of those powerful figures was as unshakable as a mountain; any offense could cost him his life.

Even if he were killed, it would be a deserved fate.

His face turned as pale as paper, his body trembling uncontrollably, not daring to utter a word.

Underneath Lin Shiyin's veil, her peerless face became extremely solemn.

Especially when she saw the person who shouted, a trace of fear flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she hurriedly lowered her head.

That was Wu Xie, the Supreme Elder of the Hehuan Sect, a top Seventh-Grade sect.

His reputation in the outside world was notorious, or rather, the entire Hehuan Sect's reputation in the Northern Frontier was unsavory.

Because regardless of gender, the Hehuan Sect practiced a cultivation method that was against the natural order.

However, their sect master was a peerless genius, reaching the Peak Tribulation Transcendence Realm in less than a millennium, making them the strongest sect second only to the Lingxiao Pavilion, unmatched by anyone.

Lin Shiyin prayed in her heart that he wouldn't notice her.

She was well aware of her own beauty, otherwise, she wouldn't always wear a veil.

But her veil could block the probing of some martial artists of the same realm, yet it was useless against those with sky-high cultivation.

Although she was in the right in this matter.

But in Wu Xie's eyes, if he saw her as prey, he wouldn't care about anything else.

Even if the Lingxiao Pavilion prevented him from doing anything now, he would definitely come after her later.

At this moment, she was cursing the red-nosed old man in her heart.

If it weren't for this guy suddenly jumping out to seek attention, she wouldn't have had a conflict with him.

However.

The more you don't want something to happen, the more likely it is to happen.

Wu Xie raised his hand, intending to swat the troublemaking red-nosed old man away, but the next moment, a glint flashed in his eyes.

His hand stopped mid-motion.

"Hmph! Get back, if you offend again, you'll be killed!"

He snorted coldly, then sat back in his seat.

But his eyes occasionally glanced at Lin Shiyin below, pondering something.

"Wu Xie, I allowed you to attend on Ruosu's account, but if you dare to cause trouble on my turf, you'll never return!"

At this moment, a voice, both authoritative and youthful, echoed in his ear.

He immediately looked toward the young man sitting in the prominent position beside him.

He knew the voice came from this young man.

But he dared not retort, nodding slightly toward the young man.

Don't be fooled by his youth; his position in the Lingxiao Pavilion was terrifying, and Wu Xie dared not offend him.

The words were both a warning and a command.

He had no doubt about their truth.

Meanwhile, Lin Shiyin below was unaware of all this.

She only knew Wu Xie's gaze had swept over her more than once, which meant she had been targeted.

Her brows furrowed, unable to think of any good solution for the moment.

Perhaps she could avoid trouble while in the Lingxiao Pavilion, but she couldn't stay there forever.

The assembly continued.

But she couldn't focus on it at all.

...

Jade Spirit Peak, Back Mountain Sword Cliff!

The familiar feeling remained.

However, Lin Yu was no longer as weak as before; the Sword Qi and Sword Intent at the cliff's periphery could no longer harm him.

But he didn't rush forward impatiently; instead, he walked steadily, step by step, into the depths.

Every time he advanced a certain distance, he would stop to familiarize himself with and adapt to the current intensity of Sword Intent.

It wasn't that he wanted to show off, but because the protagonist Ye Xuan in the original text acted this way.

As for why, he didn't know!

In any case, following the protagonist's path and leaving the protagonist with no path to take was certainly right.

"System, can you sense where I can comprehend more powerful sword techniques?"

A quarter of an hour later, while adapting to the current Sword Intent intensity, Lin Yu posed his question in his heart.

In the original story, Ye Xuan stopped to comprehend based on his own endurance.

At this moment, although Lin Yu felt he hadn't reached his limit, he had already walked quite a distance, and doubt arose in his heart.

[This Sword Cliff was inadvertently created during a battle between two Sword Immortals. The deeper you go, the stronger the sword techniques you can comprehend. At the deepest point, the most complete two Perfect Attribute Sword Intents are hidden, along with the most terrifying sword moves of the two Sword Immortals.]

[Although the Cultivation Points are not abundant, they are sufficient for now. You just need to go as far as your body can endure.]

The system promptly replied.

Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Lin Yu's eyes.

He had never expected this Sword Cliff to have such a history.

In the original work, the protagonist Ye Xuan only visited this place once in the early stages and never returned, so his knowledge was limited.

However, the system's reply was like a revelation, bringing him unexpected joy.

The lifelong insights of two Sword Immortals into the Sword Dao were all gathered in this Sword Cliff.

Such an opportunity was in no way inferior to some of the extraordinary fortunes the protagonist encountered.

Unfortunately, the Ethereal Sect guarded this treasure mountain but failed to make good use of it, merely treating it as a place to punish disciples.

However, upon careful consideration, it wasn't entirely the Ethereal Sect's incompetence. The opportunities of Sword Immortals were not something ordinary people could comprehend.

With the disciples of the Ethereal Sect, it was indeed difficult for anyone to find fortune here.
