Chapter 169

“Yan Kuan?”

The voice of the Demon Sect Grandmaster is rather sharp, sounding quite grating to the ear.

“Indeed!”

Yan Kuan replied with a fist salute.

“A third-rate grandmaster, you have no right to speak in my presence!”

“You!

Yan Kuan’s face turned ashen with anger.

“Young man, beat him up for me. I’ll personally offer a seventh-grade spiritual medicine!”

Yan Kuan spat out the words resentfully.

The moment Xu Yan heard this, his spirits brightened instantly, hurriedly declared, “Alright, a seventh-grade spiritual medicine it is!”

“Such arrogance!”

The Demon Sect Grandmaster in front was seething with anger.

In a swift movement, a bleak aura swept out, transmuting into terrifying ghostly claws, hurtling towards him!

Against the Demon Sect Grandmaster, Xu Yan was not going to show any mercy.

All of the Demon Sect’s deadly cultivation techniques were restrained by his overbearing Descending Dragon Palm even though this particular Grandmaster was stronger than the previous two.

Yet he still could not withstand the fierceness of Xu Yan’s palm strike.

Boom!

The Golden Giant Dragon roared forth, plowing through everything, utterly shattering the ghostly claws. In the opponent’s horrified gaze, the unparalleled force of the palm instantly overwhelmed him!

Boom!

The Demon Sect Grandmaster was slain on the spot.

If not for fear of accidentally destroying the Spirit Kills that he was carrying and thus incur loss, that palm would have torn him to shreds!

“Killed him for you, remember you owe me a seventh-grade spiritual medicine!”

Xu Yan happily went forth to search the corpse.

“Tch! These Demon Sect Grandmasters, why are they all so poor!”

Xu Yan grumbled, letting his True Qi surge. The body was instantly turned to ashes, irrevocably dead.

Yan Kuan watched, his scalp tingling.

This young man, truly terrifying.

A grandmaster with each palm, could he be a Great Grandmaster?

What kind of horrifying cultivation technique is the strength of that Golden Giant Dragon? It’s exceptionally powerful!

And after killing an opponent, he would even scatter the ashes!

The ease with which he did this suggested he often commits such acts.

“Dead right? Serves you right for looking down on me!”

Nevertheless, Yan Kuan felt relieved in his heart. Looked down on him for being a third-rate grandmaster huh? How strong could you be, you were still killed with a single slap!

Xu Yan was very pleased as he secured two seventh-grade spiritual medicines.

“The Inner Domain is really exciting, it’s not hard to earn money either. If a few more grandmasters come along, I’ll have enough to buy all the spiritual medicines.”

Xu Yan thought happily.

During the subsequent journey, ambushes became increasingly frequent, almost all by Martial Artists of third-grade or above. Even an attack by six first-grade martial artists happened once.

Du Yuying’s bodyguards naturally couldn’t fend them off, so Xu Yan had to step in and sweep them all aside with one palm.

Another Grandmaster attacked.

This time, it wasn’t a Grandmaster from the Demon Sect, but a prestigious Grandmaster from Lanping district. After Yan Kuan shouted his name.

The man no longer hid his identity and directly mocked Yan Kuan for being a third-rate grandmaster…

Consequently, Yan Kuan ended up owing Xu Yan another seventh-grade spiritual medicine.

Along the way, the number of attackers continued to increase, including the use of poison, traps, and the like, which slowed down the group’s progress.

Xu Yan remained vigilant, always on guard.

One day, the sound of galloping horses echoed. It sounded like a massive army charging forth, a sea of black assailants rushing towards them.

“The Lanping District Guard!”

Yan Kuan gritted his teeth.

Though those charging towards them were all attired in black, observant people could tell that this was the Lanping District Guard!

Boom!

A figure descended from above the army and headed straight for Yan Kuan.

Clearly, his target was Yan Kuan, the Grandmaster.

“Young Master, 5000 spirit crystals, help us break through this!”

Du Yuying said with a grim face.

“No problem!”

With his experience against a massive army, even if the army of the Inner Domain was stronger, Xu Yan’s own powers had increased as well.

True Qi began to circulate, and amid a roaring sound, eighteen Golden Giant Dragons burst forth.

They launched an aggressive attack at the charging army, causing panic and disarray. Du Yuying and her companions closely followed Xu Yan. A Grandmaster launching an attack was sent flying in mid-air, knocked back by a mere palm of Xu Yan.

The entire army collapsed, leaving Yan Kuan and others feeling inexplicable shock. The spectacle of the eighteen dragons sowing utter chaos was deeply etched in their minds.

“What kind of cultivation technique is this? In the Inner Domain, I have never heard of such a powerful martial art cultivation technique!”

Yan Kuan was astounded. He, a profound Grandmaster Martial Artist, had never heard of such a powerful technique emanating from the Inner Domain.

Bypassing the encirclement, the group continued to advance.

All the soldiers of Lanping county lay sprawled on the ground, unable to get up for a good while. It was only after Xu Yan and his companions had disappeared that they managed to stagger to their feet. They were all deathly pale.

It was terrifying!

The horrifying spectacle of eighteen dragons causing havoc deeply shocked every county guard. Perhaps even the might of the mythical Great Grandmasters could not compare to this.

After leaving the territory of Lanping county and encountering no attacks for several days, Du Yuying finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they could proceed unimpeded. However,…

An isolated teahouse appeared in their path.

Suddenly, a melodious sound of flute floated towards them.

The flute was enticing, making everyone’s feet itch to dance to the rhythm.

All along the journey, Du Yuying’s bodyguards had remained expressionless, reserved, and vigilant!

But now, they were bobbing their heads and moving their bodies, completely entranced by the music, unable to extricate themselves!

Cui’er opened the window of the carriage, her eyes brimming with a confused look!

“Not good!”

Yan Kuan suddenly let out an angry yell. His Martial Arts Inner Qi surged, and his Grandmaster aura exploded, instantly waking up the guards and Cui’er.

“It is the Bewitching Flute of Thousand Illusions! Quickly block your senses and plug your ears!”

Cui’er turned pale.

The bodyguards immediately ripped off strips of cloth, rolled them into small balls, and stuffed them into their ears.

Even Yan Kuan, a Grandmaster, looked extremely serious. He too ripped off a piece of cloth to plug his ears.

“Young man, quickly plug your ears! This is the Bewitching Sound of Thousand Illusions by the peak Grandmaster of the Demonic Sect!”

Seeing that Xu Yan, who was sitting on his horse, was unmoved, Yan Kuan reminded him anxiously.

“Don’t worry. I find the piece quite enjoyable to listen to!”

However, Xu Yan seemed puzzled. Although the flute sound was sweet, it contained a force that gently drifted towards him like a quiet wind, penetrating his ears, and seemingly intended to bewitch him.

“A cultivation technique of the Inner Realm Martial Arts that can kill with sound…

“Master was right in saying not to underestimate the Inner Realm for practicing false martial arts. This bewitching sound technique does have its merits.

“Even though it does not affect me because I practice the true Martial Arts, how would it be if I also mastered a technique that can kill with sound?”

An expression of interest appeared on Xu Yan’s face.

Yan Kuan’s face kept changing, “Young man, quickly plug our ears!”

He misinterpreted Xu Yan’s situation, thinking that he had been enchanted by the bewitching sound. Therefore, he quickly circulated Martial Arts Inner Qi and reminded him.

Xu Yan turned his head to look at him, “You are a Grandmaster, yet your mental powers are so weak. You are this afraid of a simple piece.”

Yan Kuan’s face darkened.

“I hope you can break through this bewitching sound!”

Yan Kuan took a deep breath. He felt that he could barely resist the Bewitching Sound of Thousand Illusions. Illusions start to appear hazily before him.

No, I have not had enough of it. Besides, there’s no danger!”

Xu Yan decisively refused.

Yan Kuan, seeing this, sighed resignedly. He could only return to the carriage to guard his mind and resist the Bewitching Sound of Thousand Illusions.

Du Yuying’s bodyguards, their faces red and swaying, continued to move forward, heading towards the teahouse.

Inside the carriage, Cui’er’s face was flushed. She was in a trance, not knowing what hallucinations she was experiencing. She murmured, “Young

Master…woo…good Young Master…”

Du Yuying clenched her hands together, her breathing became heavy, her bosom heaved. She was struggling hard. In the end, she removed her veil, revealing an extremely beautiful face which was flushed.

The carriage stopped, and everyone halted in front of the tea shed.

Xu Yan, intrigued, looked at the person in the teahouse. He couldn’t discern whether the person with a delicate face and rouge-stained lips blowing the flute was a man or woman.

His or her energy was flowing harmoniously, filling the flute and then spreading out, resonating in all directions.

The closer they were, the stronger the power of the bewitching sound.

Xu Yan silently observed, earnestly sensing and experiencing while deep in thought.

Du Yuying had already come out of the carriage.

She bit her lip and walked to the front of Xu Yan’s horse, “Young master, in exchange for three seven-grade spiritual medicines, help me out of this predicament!”

Du Yuying felt she now understood – as long as she gave enough spiritual medicines, there was no trouble that couldn’t be solved!
