Chapter 6: Mad Sword Villa

  Luoke Town, a mountain with thick mist surrounds many large and small buildings and pavilions.

  At the top of the mountain lies a palace, which is the headquarters of Kuangjian Mountain Villa, one of the four major forces in Luoke Town.

  Inside the grand hall, a man stood upright, his presence was very majestic, and his black robe made his tall figure even more prominent. However, his sharp eyes revealed a hint of worry.

  The middle-aged man's face still has a scar from a knife wound, and at first glance, he is a seasoned veteran.

  He is the master of Kuangjian Mountain Villa, Duan Lingkong.

  In front of Duan Lingtong stood an old man in grey clothes, who was respectfully reporting something to the middle-aged man with a bow.

  "Are you sure that shortly after Yifeng and the others left, the Du'e Gate sent a group of people out of Luo Town?" Duan Lingtian thought to confirm again whether the news was true or not.

  "I'm sure, and this time they've even sent two low-level Lingyun Masters. It seems they really are planning to make a move on Second Young Master. By rights, Second Young Master and the others should have returned long ago, but until now they still haven't... I fear..."

  Li Guan and his family didn't dare to speak out their own speculations, Duan Yifeng was actually a high-ranking martial artist, while the guards sent by the Duan family had only one high-ranking Lingyun guard as the captain, and the others were just mid-level and low-level Lingyun guards.

  The assassins sent by the Scorpion Gate unexpectedly included two low-level Lingyun Masters in addition to Ling Yunshi, it seems that they plan to leave no survivors and die without acknowledging their accounts.

  With a "bang", the four-square stone table shattered, and Duan Lingtong gritted his teeth and said: "If anything happens to Yifeng, I'll make the Du Xie Men regret it even in death!"

  Li Guanjia walked out of the main hall after a while, wiping the sweat from his forehead with his hand. It was still the first time he saw the master of Kuangjian Mountain Villa, who was usually calm and composed no matter what happened, so angry. It seemed that although Duan Yifeng was a bit unlearned and useless, the master still cared about Second Young Master deeply.

  "Is it really going to change this time in Luocheng Town?" Li Guan's family shook his head and headed down the mountain, praying that Second Master would not have any accidents.

  After a while, the two gatekeepers saw from afar that two people were walking towards this direction. A lovely little loli wearing purple clothes and a boy whose clothes were already tattered, who was currently picking his nose with his finger.

  It wasn't until two people had already walked in that they realized this handsome but unrefined young man was actually their Second Master.

  The gatekeeper hastily bowed and called out: "Second Young Master, you've finally returned! If you hadn't come back, we were all prepared to rush directly to the Du'e Gate. Hurry up and report to the Manor Lord, just say that the Second Young Master has returned, the Manor Lord will definitely be very pleased."

  The gatekeeper's eyes showed a hint of reverence when he mentioned the owner of the house.

  "It's okay, I'll go in myself. You've all worked hard enough, and it's not often that you get to run an errand." Yan Feng said as he strode in.

  "Well done, you've worked hard."

  Lin Yuer smiled and patted the two gatekeepers' arms, also following them in.

  The two gatekeepers exchanged a glance and thought to themselves, "Who is this little girl? She seems so familiar, like one of our own family members." However, today the Second Young Master has become surprisingly understanding.

  Li Guanjia was walking down the mountain when he suddenly saw Duan Yifeng coming towards him, so Li Guanjia quickly walked over.

  "Second Young Master, you've finally returned. Come with me to see the Old Master first." Li, the steward, said as he prepared to pay his respects, for in this Lingyun Continent, etiquette was highly valued, especially between masters and servants.

  Li Guanjia is the old steward here, although his cultivation is not high, he is only a high-level Lingyun warrior at most, but after serving the Duan family with all his might for so many years, his status is still relatively high.

  "Li Guanjia, no need to be polite. From now on, when you see me, don't bother with formalities. You're older than me, I really can't take it. First, tell me about the general situation of Kuangjian Mountain Villa, we'll talk while walking."

  "Yes, young master." Li, the housekeeper, was very puzzled in his heart. The second young master had never asked about the mountain villa before, so why did he suddenly ask about it today?

  However, Li Guanjia said: "Our Kuangjian Mountain Villa has a total of 3,700 people. Excluding some servants who do not practice and have no combat power, there are 3,200 people left. Among them, nearly 2,000 are outer disciples, who are at the warrior level, most of whom are high-level warriors. If they can break through to Lingyun Warrior before the age of 20, they will become inner disciples. If they break through to Lingyun Warrior after the age of 20, they can serve as instructors in the outer gate and guide external disciples. The inner disciples are our main force, with over 800 people now. There are about 500 low-level Lingyun Warriors, more than 200 mid-level Lingyun Warriors, and around 100 high-level Lingyun Warriors."

  "Huh? There are still 300 people?" Duan Yifeng calculated and found that there were still 300 people short, so he asked again.

  "There are still over 300 people, among whom more than 100 are low-level Lingyun Masters, who are instructors for the inner door disciples. There are also nearly 50 mid-level Lingyun Masters, and high-level Lingyun Masters are only the Master of the Manor and your Second Uncle, Vice Master of the Manor, and you three. The rest of the people are just members of the Duan family, also over a hundred people. The reason why some numbers are not fixed is that some people may break through to a higher realm at any time. The Master of the Manor has been a high-level Lingyun Master for a long time and may be able to break through again after a while, becoming a low-level Lingyun General. We're all waiting for that day!" Li, the steward, became very excited when talking about the Lingyun General.

  "Oh, so it seems that first comes the Warrior, then the Lingyun Officer, and if the Lingyun Officer breaks through, he becomes a Lingyun Master. After the Lingyun Master is the Lingyun General, so what comes after the Lingyun General?"

  Duan Yifeng thought for a moment before continuing to ask, he knew that his understanding was limited to what he had just learned from the introduction of Kuangjian Mountain Villa.

  Li Guanjia thought for a moment and continued: "After Lingyun Jiang, there is also Lingyun Shuai. I heard that after Lingyun Shuai, there is also Lingyun Zhizun. As for whether there are any below, I don't know. I've lived for so many years in Luoke Town, but I haven't even seen a Lingyun Jiang, let alone the legendary Lingyun Shuai and Lingyun Zhizun. I really want to know if there's anything below Lingyun Zhizun? What else is there?"

  "Haha, haha, Li Guanjia, let me tell you. There must be something below Lingyun Zhizun, if there's nothing below him, wouldn't he become a eunuch? I didn't expect Li Guanjia to still want to see what's below Lingyun Zhizun, truly an old man with a young heart! Lingyun Zhizun might also be a woman, you want to see what's below her, beware of losing your life! Haha!" Duan Yifeng suddenly burst out laughing.

  Li Guanjia was taken aback at first, then couldn't help but laugh along with them.

  "This second young master has suddenly become so humorous, too good at joking, and his personality has become so optimistic! Ah, I like this kind of second young master." Li Guanjia thought to himself.

  If Duan Yifeng knew what Li Guanjia was thinking, he would definitely get goosebumps and say "Spare me, I'm so old, yet you still like me."

  After laughing, Duan Yifeng suddenly remembered something and turned around to look back, only to see Lin Yuer staring at him with a fierce gaze.

  "Have you forgotten that I'm still here? How can you say such things in front of a girl?" Lin Yuer said with a mix of shame and anger, pouting her small mouth, her face red with embarrassment.

  "Oh, sorry about that, I forgot you're a girl."

  "Ah, ah, ah, I'm going to beat you up!" Just as Lin Yuer was about to hit Duan Yifeng in anger, she found that Duan Yifeng had already slipped into the grand hall not far away.
