Chapter 601 – Sword Saints’ Summons

“He’s coming down, He’s coming down!”

“He was not actually thrown down. It seems that he has already got the sword that was fated to him!”

“God, he has only been here for a year, and he already got a sword. This should be a new record, right? Oh, what’s all that about how Hidden Sword Pavilion is the most fair, isn’t it just bowing to these Divine Clan heirs? Which Divine Clan disciple went up the mountain and failed to get a sword?”

“You can’t say that. After all, many of these swords belonged to the Divine Clan disciples ten thousand years ago. If you see it that way, it should be considered returning the item to the original owner. Look! Look at what he’s holding, is that the sword that was brought down from above?”

Qi Feiqing was the first to run over. His eyes were bright, staring at the sword and said, “Ah Hen, take it out quickly and let me see how powerful this sword is.”

Yan Tianhen: “…”

If it’s powerful, then I wouldn’t have forced it to wear clothes. No matter how you look at it, only the scabbard can fool people.

“This scabbard probably required an astronomical amount of money, or it depends on the workmanship. I still can’t see what material it’s made of.” Qi Feiqing recently became a money-grubber, and he talked about money every time he opened his mouth.

Yan Tianhen squinted at him and said, “Go, go, the worth of this sword can’t be measured by spirit stones.”

Qi Feiqing pleaded, “Just let me have a look.”

Yan Tianhen felt that he couldn’t afford to lose this face, so he said, “No, you can’t. Let’s talk about it when we get back.”

Gu Ruyu also walked over. His gaze fell on that scabbard whose original color couldn’t be seen. His eyelids moved a little. “Huarong Sword Immortal asked someone to tell you to visit Sword God Hall after you came out. He probably has some matters he wants to discuss.”

Yan Tianhen nodded. “I’ll go right now.”

Just when Yan Tianhen planned to go directly to the Sword God Hall, a group of people walked over. Yan Tianhen had a face-to-face meeting with the visitor, and he took the initiative to curl his lips and say, “So that’s why the stinky smell suddenly floated over. It turns out that there is a bug here. Let’s go quickly, before we get smoked to death.”

The visitor wore a black robe, and his appearance was pretty, but it looked a little weak and could easily arouse the desire of others to protect.

Yan Tianhen cursed the son of a bitch in his heart, This bastard was really sharp-eyed. I had already hidden the sword hilt consciously, but I didn’t expect that he still caught sight of it.

Yan Tianhen said without expression, “This just shows that your eyes are not good.”

Longyao Lingguang said, “Indeed I don’t have a good eye, but I can still distinguish between garbage and treasure. I can still recognize it. What kind of treasure doesn’t the North Land’s Dragon Palace have? Moreover, this Prince grew up in the Dragon Clan when he was a child, unlike some people, who’s like a country bumpkin and haven’t seen anything in the world, yet he still insists on branding himself as royalty. What a joke.”

“Longyao Lingguang, what do you mean by these words?” Qi Feiqing took a few steps forward, flipped his fan, and said, “Prince Ye is the legitimate second heir to the throne. Even your father had to kneel down and bow. Your father is in front of you trying to accumulate fortune, but you are lighting the fire behind. You really aren’t afraid of shortening his lifespan.”

Longyao Lingguang curled his lips coldly and said, “The Longyao Clan never bows to anyone. Sure enough, the dog is just like its owner. You are too ignorant. In addition–” Longyao Lingguang’s gaze turned to Yan Tianhen, and said, “Remember to remind that bastard that the Dragon Clan is not a place where he can behave atrociously. His scumbag of a mother is a sinner of the Dragon Clan through the ages. She should be forever crushed and tortured in a filthy place regardless of life or death. He wants to recover the bones of his mother, which is impossible in this life.”

Yan Tianhen lowered his eyes and bared his teeth coldly. “One day, I will tear your mouth apart.”

Longyao Lingguang sneered, “Then I’ll wait for that day.”

After Longyao Lingguang finished speaking, he led everyone to walk towards Hidden Sword Peak.

Yan Tianhen took a few deep breaths and asked, “What is that bug going to do?”

Qi Feiqing grinded his teeth and said, “In the past few days when you were away, I heard that Longyao Lingguang’s cultivation base has broken through the peak of Profound Realm’s Separated Spirit Stage, and he has already entered the Unified Spirit Stage. He even achieved a Minor Attainment in swordsmanship, so his master gave him permission to come to Hidden Sword Peak to find his sword.”

Yan Tianhen’s face darkened. “He is deliberately opposing me.”

Gu Ruyu frowned slightly and said, “Next time you see him, don’t talk to him so as not to annoy yourself.”

Yan Tianhen said, “Do you think I’m willing to talk to him? If he hadn’t repeatedly insulted my second martial brother every time he saw me, I would not bother to pay attention to him. He’s nothing. Damn, my elder martial brother must have been bullied in the North Lands recently. I’ll have to ask about the situation in a while.”

Gu Ruyu said, “Your authority can’t reach the North Lands.”

Yan Tianhen nodded and said, “Ever since the eight lands gained autonomy, the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital cannot directly intervene in the internal affairs of the eight lands, but I am a disciple of Fuyao Sect. I should take care of my elder martial brother in my personal capacity. If he needs something, I will do my best to help him.”

Gu Ruyu said with a faint smile, “Hai Kuanglang is really lucky to have you as a junior martial brother.”

Yan Tianhen said, “I’m really lucky to have these elder martial brothers.” Yan Tianhen soon took the sword to the Sword God Hall.

There were five elders sitting in the hall, four of whom were Sword Saints and one was a Sword Immortal.

The four Sword Saints were Tianshu, Yaoguang, Yuheng, and Tianquan, who only came out of secluded cultivation ten months ago. The Sword Immortal was naturally Lin Xuanzhi.

When Lin Xuanzhi saw Yan Tianhen, he asked, “Was it a smooth journey?”

Yan Tianhen smiled at Lin Xuanzhi after finishing a Daoist greeting. “It was pretty smooth, and I didn’t suffer much.”

Sword Saint Tianquan said with a smile, “It’s good that you did not suffer. This time, many people are paying attention to you. They want to know what kind of peerless sword our dignified Prince Ye can get.”

Yan Tianhen blinked his eyes and said to Tianquan Sword Saint, “Sword Saint Tianquan, when I came down the mountain, I saw your apprentice, who also took people to the mountain to look for his sword. The scene was bigger than me.”

After Sword Saint Tianquan came out of seclusion, he accepted Longyao Lingguang as his apprentice. The reason why Yan Tianhen didn’t meet Longyao Lingguang before was that they were in two different courtyards, so it was not easy for them to see each other. Secondly, as soon as Longyao Lingguang entered the sect, he often went into closed-door cultivation and didn’t have time to trouble Yan Tianhen. It was after Sword Saint Tianquan came out of seclusion and accepted Longyao Lingguang as his apprentice, that Yan Tianhen and Longyao Lingguang often met each other in the Sword God Hall. As soon as Longyao Lingguang first took a step onto the mountain, Yan Tianhen began to tattle on him to Sword God Hall’s elders. Sword Saint Tianquan didn’t have any connections to the secular world, and Yan Tianhen was firm in his belief that he only accepted that brat as his apprentice because the bug was so good at acting. He behaved like an obedient grandson in front of Sword Saint Tianquan, but in fact, he was a black hearted fellow with rotten lungs.

Hearing this, the Sword Saint Tianquan didn’t blame him, and smiled slightly, “It’s probably because it is the first time he gets to choose his fated sword, so he was worried and wanted to find some people to support him, so he has more confidence.”

Yan Tianhen clapped his hands and said with a smile, “I think so too. He must be scared to death, so he has to find so many people.”

Tianshu saw that he was avoiding the subject all the time, so he cleared his throat and said, “Ah Hen, this sword you found, open it and let’s have a look.”

Yan Tianhen had already stuffed the sword into his storage bag before. He felt that this sword must not be seen by people. He was embarrassed and said, “My sword…It’s shy.”

Shy?

Several Sword Saints showed various expressions one after another, and Lin Xuanzhi’s brows wrinkled slightly. Yaoguang smiled and said, “Your reason is really new and rare. I have never heard of anyone whose sword is shy.”

Yan Tianhen spoke utter nonsense with an earnest and serious expression, “My sword has a sword spirit, and it has stayed in that empty place for a long time. The first time it sees people, it naturally becomes shy. When it is shy, it likes to hack at people. For the sake of everyone’s safety, I decided not to take it out to harm people when I am in the sect.”

Yaoguang raised his eyebrows. “You said all this…Ah Hen, tell me the truth, is the sword you found a useless sword?”

Yan Tianhen said firmly, “How can it be a useless sword? You should know it’s not from its scabbard alone.”

Tianshu said, “Then you might as well take the scabbard out and show it to us. Pull it out for a while.”

Yan Tianhen curled his lips and said in his heart, It seems that these old guys won’t let me go until they’ve seen the sword today. It’s really embarrassing to take out that rusty sword. But sooner or later, the rusty sword will be seen by people. This kind of thing can’t be concealed.

Yan Tianhen simply changed his secretive attitude and said, “I’m not afraid to let you see it, but I’m afraid you can’t see the advantages of this sword, and you might misunderstand it.”

Yaoguang slapped the table. “Don’t dawdle nonsense, I’m dying of curiosity.”

Yan Tianhen secretly glanced at Lin Xuanzhi, and saw that he also smiled at him, looking very expectant. Yan Tianhen directly took the rusty sword out of the storage bag and handed it to the sword-holding boy of Sword Saint Tianquan who was nearest to him. He muttered, “You can take a look, I’ll see if you can see if it’s good.”

The sword-holding boy handed the sword to Tianquan. When Tianquan looked at the scabbard, he was surprised and said, “The scabbard is made of extremely high-grade materials. It’s cold to the touch. It seems that there’s a faintly visible shape of scales on it. I am not a craftsman, I can’t see what it is made of.”

First it was a compliment, then Tianquan took the hilt and pulled it out of the scabbard. A four finger wide sword covered with red rust appeared in front of everyone. Tianquan was stunned, and his expression was even more surprised than when he saw the scabbard.

“This…” Sword Saint Tianshu’s words also got stuck. He raised his finger to the rusty sword and asked incredulously, “The scabbard really belongs to this sword?”

Ea: In typical YTH fashion, he’ll name his sword “锈锈 (Xiuxiu)”, which is just the character for “rust” twice, which makes it sound cute. To all readers, should the sword name be Xiuxiu or something like Rusty or Rust (feel free to offer suggestions)?
