Chapter 29: The Two Schools of Sword Energy

  The Dark Hand organization refused to make a move again, and both Wang Jian and his son Wang Ba's faces looked somewhat unsightly.

  "Dad, what should we do next?"

  "Hmph, you only know how to cause me trouble every day. You think our royal family can easily provoke someone who even the Dark Hand organization doesn't dare to mess with? Remember this, from now on, you're not allowed to provoke that person again. Otherwise, I'll break your two legs."

  Spending so much gold coins, but in the end, he didn't even manage to kill that person. Not to mention the royal family, I believe anyone would find it unbearable. Fortunately, Wang Jian is still a qualified head of household, and as soon as he realized something was off, he immediately withdrew, otherwise, if they were to provoke the Dragon Alliance, I'm sure destroying a small family like the Wangs would be as easy as lifting a hand.

  Looking at the empty secret room with only himself left, Wang Ba's face was very ugly. He had been humiliated three times in a row, and it was impossible for him to tolerate this tone easily. If he didn't kill Lin Yun, he would never be at peace for the rest of his life. The Dark Hand organization refused to take action, but that didn't mean other assassin organizations wouldn't take action either. Thinking of this, Wang Ba's mouth corner flowed out a cold smile.

  Heaven's Punishment Academy, inside the thatched cottage.

  In the second half of the night, the entire college was already in a state of darkness and silence, with only an occasional croak of a frog being heard. Apart from that, there was nothing else. Lin Yun, who had just returned to his reed hut, looked around cautiously, and after repeatedly confirming that no one was present, he finally entered his soul into the Sword Prison.

  Inside the Sword Prison

  Two black-clad old men's souls saw the boy's figure, and their faces were as ugly as they could be. However, one of the black-clad old men directly cursed: "You little brat, if you know what's good for you, quickly let me go, otherwise I will make you die without a place to bury your body."

  No place to die and be buried?

  What a moron, Lin Yun shook his head in dismay. It had already reached this point, yet this person not only didn't kneel down to beg for mercy, but instead spoke loudly and insulted him with grandiose words. Did he really think he was still the original Innate Martial Artist?

  He didn't exchange another word with the black-robed elder, who also didn't bother to say more. With a flick of his mind, the calm and peaceful Sword Prison suddenly transformed into a human purgatory around the black-robed elder, constantly burning his soul.

  In just a few short seconds, the soul of a congenital martial artist was incinerated without even leaving behind any hair, while another black-clad man who had personally experienced this before was shocked stiff, his entire body trembling non-stop. Meanwhile, the Ice Fire Giant Python not far away continued to lie in place, pretending to be asleep.

  "I now have several questions for you, will you answer them truthfully?"

  "Go ahead, as long as I know it, I'll definitely tell you everything, just ask."

  Helpless shaking of the head, really a cheap skull, if not for taking out one first, the remaining one wouldn't be so obedient either. Lin Yun asked: "Are you from the Dark Hand organization?"

  "Yes."

  "Who hired you to come and assassinate me?"

  "The King of Heaven's Punishment City."

  "If I recall correctly, the Phantom of the Dragon Alliance had informed you before that the Dark Assassins' Guild is not allowed to lay a hand on me from now on. So, I'd like to know why are you still doing this? Don't you fear the Phantom?"

  "Of course, I'm afraid. As the leader of the Dragon Alliance's intelligence unit, Phantom has a lot of power in his hands. With just one order from him, our Dark Assassins organization might suffer greatly. However, this time the reward offered by the Wang family is quite generous, and our boss is pretending not to have received Phantom's warning, wanting to wait until after we've taken care of this matter before dealing with it."

  As for what the old man in black said, Lin Yun didn't have any doubts at all. It was precisely because of this that he felt speechless towards the leader of the Dark Assassins organization. Even if the reward from the Wang family was generous, once they offended the Dragon Alliance, it would be difficult for the Dark Assassins to continue operating in the future.

  He didn't continue to ask about the Dark Hand organization, because he knew that with Phantom's warning this time, as long as the Dark Hand organization wasn't brain-dead, they wouldn't dare to lay hands on him again in the future. As for the Wang family... humph!

  "I'm asking you now, earlier when you saw the sword energy I released, what did you say? Sword Sect? Tell me, what exactly is this Sword Sect?"

  Lin Yun was very curious about Jianzong, after all, curiosity kills, and behind the curiosity, there are often unknown threats that cannot be seen or touched.

  "Jianzong, I'm just here based on hearsay, because the real Jianzong is not something we can come into contact with. It's said that there are two major sects in the world: one is the Qizong, which advocates for controlling swords with Qi, and the other is the Jianzong, which practices controlling swords with human intent. Just now, when we fought you, we discovered that the sword energy you released was indeed from the Jianzong, because only the sword techniques of those who cultivate the Jianzong can produce such powerful sword energy."

  Jian Sect? Qi Sect?

  One uses the air to control the sword, and the other is controlled by people. Listening to it, Lin Yun felt like he was listening to a martial arts story, just like the "Laughing in the Wind" written by Mr. Jin Yong. In it, Mount Hua seems to be divided into two factions: the Air Sect and the Sword Sect. Does this alien world also have Mount Hua?

  "There is a legend that the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect were once one family, but due to differences in their approach to swordsmanship, they split into two major sects. We two personally witnessed a battle between a Sword Sect disciple and a Qi Sect disciple back then, just three moves and the Sword Sect disciple was cut in half by the Qi Sect disciple, the Qi Sect's use of internal energy to control the sword is simply too terrifying."

  When he heard about the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect, Lin Yun was 100% certain in his heart that the sword fragment he had cultivated must have a connection with the Sword Sect. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to wield the sword energy. If that were really the case, then the mysterious person who taught him the sword fragment wouldn't also have a relationship with the Sword Sect?

  "I asked you, do you know where the Sword Sect is located?"

  "I don't know, but according to legend, neither the Sword Sect nor the Qi Sect seem to be on the Tian Dong continent."

  Shrimp rice?

  Neither Jianzong nor Qizong is in Tiandong Continent?

  Cheating a ghost?

  "Are you playing tricks on me? Not in the Eastern Continent, could it be in the sky or in the sea?"

  "It seems you know nothing about the outside world. The Tian Dong Continent is only one-fifth of the entire continent's area, and in fact, the entire continent is vast. We are on the eastern continent, so it is called the Tian Dong Continent. Apart from our Tian Dong Continent, there are also the Tian Xi Continent, Tian Nan Continent, Tian Bei Continent, and Tian Zhong Continent. It is said that the Sword Sect and Qi Sect are both in the Tian Zhong Continent."

  Tianxi Continent, Tiannan Continent, Tianbei Continent, Tianzhong Continent, Taidong Continent.

  Lin Yun never thought that the continent he was on was just a small part of the entire continent. According to this, how big is the foreign continent he is on? It's really hard to believe. As for Jianzong and Qizong, if they are in the Tianzhong Continent, what does it have to do with him?

  The questioning has been completed, and it is believed that the remaining old black man will not know either. Since this is the case, continuing to keep this person down is useless. With a wave of his hand, the same human purgatory, the same result, in just a few short seconds, the soul of the old man in black was completely annihilated.

  Completely ignoring the Ice Fire Giant Python that had been in a state of false sleep, Lin Yun directly left the Sword Prison, his soul returning to its rightful place. After almost an entire night of turmoil, he seemed to be exhausted as well. Lin Yun collapsed onto the broken stone slab and fell into a deep sleep.

  This time the group fight happened, Lin Yun took this opportunity to take a three-day leave, and Tong Yu didn't stop him at all. With a stroke of his pen, he approved it. He thought that taking a leave would allow him to sleep well, but who knew that as soon as the sky brightened, Ye Mei'er kicked open the grass door and saw Lin Yun still sleeping soundly, she went up to him with a 365-degree big turn.

  Three hundred and sixty-five degrees sharp turn, the power is astonishing, the result can be imagined, a shocking cry that shook heaven and earth instantly spread throughout the entire college. Just as many students in the college were guessing who made this miserable cry, Lin Yun had already been taken away by Ye Mei'er.

  "Mei'er, didn't we agree to go tomorrow? Why are you going today?"

  Lin Yun was dragged by Mei'er, seemingly feeling quite depressed. Yesterday afternoon's sword practice, plus last night's big battle, made him feel rather fatigued today. He had just managed to sleep in late, but now he was being pulled up by Mei'er, saying something about his father, the lord of Tianfa City, wanting to see him.

  "How was I supposed to know? Anyway, last night when I went back and told him about your situation, Father insisted on meeting you in person today. Such a great opportunity, don't you want to make a good impression?"

  "Alright, of course," seeing Mei's face turn slightly unpleasant, Lin Yun chuckled and said: "Mei, tell me about your father, so I won't make a fool of myself when the time comes."

  "Of course, listen up," along the way, Mei'er chattered non-stop, and most of what she said was about the Lord of Tianfa City.

  According to Ye Mei'er, Lin Yun knew that the lord of Tianfa City was named Ye Xuan. As for his strength, it was unclear, but the lord of Tianfa City was said to be very approachable and kind-hearted, and he cherished the people even more. In these few years, Tianfa City had indeed made great progress under Ye Xuan's leadership.

  "Lin Yun, there's something I almost forgot to tell you."

  "Oh? Did you forget to kiss me? If so, hurry up and make it up."

  "You're talking nonsense again, if you keep this up, I'll ignore you from now on."

  "Never mind, I won't tease you anymore. Tell me, what did you forget to tell me?"

  "Just a few days ago, my cousin came over and this time it was for a marriage proposal, so..."

  "Mei'er, you won't agree with your cousin, will you?"

  "Of course not, what kind of person do you think I am? But Lin Yun, let me tell you, my cousin is a mid-level martial artist, his strength is not to be underestimated."
