Boom!

Yin Hong suddenly unleashed a fierce attack and swiftly retreated, prepared to escape at any moment.

“Boy, since you insist on getting involved in this matter, from now on, not only this great Yue State, but even the whole Inner Domain Martial Arts World, would be a place you can’t consider safe. You’ll always be under constant attacks.”

“Anyone who obstructs the important figures behind me is doomed to die, and you are no exception even if you are a Great Grandmaster!”

Yin Hong’s face betrayed his discomfort as he tried to scare off Xu Yan with the heavyweight support he claimed to have.

Xu Yan raised an eyebrow. Whoever was backing Yin Hong must hold significant power, or else he wouldn’t have said such words.

“Ha, empty barrels make the most noise. You’re a real waste, threatening me with your so-called dignitary. Do you think I care about them?”

Xu Yan sneered, showing no fear.

“Good, good, good!”

Yin Hong laughed bitterly: “Since you’re so arrogant, ignoring the important figure behind me, dare to tell me your name!”

Xu Yan looked at him with an arrogant expression and said, “Why wouldn’t 1 dare?”

But he was also muttering to himself: “Brother Xie did tell me that when I come to the Inner Domain, whatever happens, just mention his name, and everything will be solved!”

“Sword Dao Cliff is one of the top forces in the Inner Domain. Could this guy’s supporter be even more powerful?”

“Just how useful is Brother Xie’s name will be tested this time. 1 hope Brother Xie hasn’t been bragging.”

Xu Yan wasn’t scared of Yin Hong or his supporter’s power. It’s just that being chased by a major power immediately after arriving in the Inner Domain may hamper his plan to accumulate Spirit Crystals and collect Spiritual Medicines.”

His primary aim coming to the Inner Domain was to collect Spiritual Medicines to help his junior sister with her alchemy, thereby laying a foundation for his family’s martial arts training.”

Once he achieves the Innate Perfection and even breaks through to the Tongxuan Realm, he wouldn’t worry about provoking these major powers any longer. In fact, they would be good for honing his own strength.

But now wasn’t the time!

Xu Yan sheathed his sword, crossed his arms over his chest, and said arrogantly, “Listen well. My name is Xie Lingfeng!”

Silence!

Yin Hong’s eyes widened, staring at him in disbelief!

Du Yuying’s mouth dropped slightly open in surprise, with a hint of delight in her eyes.

Cui’er covered her mouth, her eyes wide in disbelief.

Yan Kuan was totally stunned.

“Huh? What’s going on? What’s with their reactions?”

Xu Yan wondered.

Why did their reactions change so drastically upon hearing the name Xie Lingfeng?

After a while, Yin Hong took a deep breath to calm himself, and solemnly said, “So you are Xie Lingfeng from Sword Dao Cliff! Since Brother Xie is involved in this matter, the important people behind me will step away. I take my leave now!”

He had no doubt about Xu Yan’s words. The impressive display of swordsmanship during their previous exchanges had already impressed him.

Xie Lingfeng of the Sword Dao Cliff was hailed as one of the three youngest Grandmasters in the Inner Domain, and even the top swordsman among the younger generation!

He carries the reputation of being the most gifted fighter that Sword Dao Cliff has seen in a thousand years.

Such formidable strength matched his reputation!

Since Xie Lingfeng was involved, the matter of the Du Family would certainly be dropped.

That’s what Yin Hong thought. He was fully aware that the individual backing him would definitely not offend Xie Lingfeng over Du Yuying.

Glancing at Du Yuying, he silently praised, “This woman’s beauty is unparalleled, and as the rumors go, she has a special physique that attracted Xie Lingfeng to stand up for her. She is indeed something!”

Without further delay, Yin Hong swiftly departed.

Xu Yan was startled. Is the name ‘Xie Lingfeng’ really that influential?

He was secretly delighted, “Brother Xie didn’t lie to me. No matter what happens, just mention his name and everything will be solved. Even this guy didn’t dare to throw harsh words after hearing Brother Xie’s name.”

“He even directly stated that the dignitary behind him would no longer be involved in this matter.”

Watching Yin Hong’s receding figure, Xu Yan muttered to himself, “Once I achieve Innate perfection, I will mop the floor with you!”

“Young Master Xie, it’s you!”

Du Yuying’s expression was a mix of surprise and delight.

At this moment, she was reminded of many things.

When they had met in Tieshan County, “Young Master Xie was there for me. He just wanted to get my attention. He wanted Spirit Crystals and Spiritual Medicines, but those were just excuses. His true intention was to escort me back.”

“Could it be that Young Master Xie…”

With certain possibility popping into her mind, Du Yuying felt her heartbeat quicken.

Cui’er and Yan Kuan also couldn’t help but think along those lines – the pride of Sword Dao Cliff, Xie Lingfeng, fancied Miss Du and intentionally got close to her…

Xu Yan coughed lightly, “Miss Du, don’t forget about the Spiritual Medicines. And by declaring my name, it seems like I have helped solve some problems for the Du Family, don’t you think so?”

“Young Master Xie, Yuying understands. I won’t skimp on the Spirit Crystals and Spiritual Medicines.”

Du Yuying gently replied.

“That’s good, that’s good, we should quickly move on,” Xu Yan nodded.

“Something seems off about this woman’s attitude. Get the Spiritual Medicines and get going!”

That’s what Xu Yan thought. He had helped solve a problem for the Du Family just by stating the name ‘Xie Lingfeng’. His help shouldn’t go unrewarded.

“We shouldn’t take Brother Xie’s name in vain either.”

So Xu Yan reminded her, “Miss Yuying, it seems that by mentioning my name, I might have solved a problem for the Du Family in the process. The reward for this…”

Du Yuying gave him a gentle look and gently replied, “Yuying will make sure to prepare a generous gift to express my gratitude to Young Master Xie.”

Hearing this, Xu Yan nodded, “Sure, sure, you can send this generous gift to

Sword Dao Cliff!”
