Chapter 255.1

The Sword Elder happened to be free, so he went outside the city to have a battle with Mo Yuyan.

The battle was earth-shattering. Mo Yuyan used all her divine skills and techniques, but she only managed to fight the Sword Elder to a draw.

In fact, if it hadnt been for Sword Elders leniency, Mo Yuyan would have been defeated long ago.

After 500 rounds, Mo Yuyan, gasping for breath, stopped and said with a cupped fist salute, Thank you, Senior Sword Elder, for showing mercy!

Sword Elder smiled and nodded, Your swordsmanship is commendable. It forced me to use fifty percent of my strength! You are young, yet youve reached such a level. Theres hope for you to become a Grandmaster in the future!

I believe so too! Mo Yuyan said with great confidence.

Sword Elder loudly praised, Good! Young people should maintain such a spirited attitude. Only then can one make further progress!

Senior Sword Elder, Ive always had a doubt in my heart!

Ask anything! Sword Elder said with a smile.

His demeanor was calm, and he tended to be tolerant towards the younger generation.

Thank you, Senior Sword Elder!

Mo Yuyan was secretly delighted and asked, Senior, there are rumors in the rivers and lakes that His Majesty is your Master and that you broke through to Grandmaster level with his guidance. Is this true?

Sword Elder nodded, Indeed, His Majesty is indeed my master and often gives me guidance in my cultivation!

Mo Yuyan quickly asked, Does His Majesty know martial arts?

Sword Elder shook his head, No, he doesnt!

Mo Yuyan asked again, How does he teach you if he doesnt know martial arts?

Sword Elder laughed, The Master once said that everything starts or ends with the Dao. The sword is the Dao, the knife is the Dao, even painting and calligraphy are the Dao, and the Dao is interconnected! So, although the Master doesnt know martial arts, he can still provide guidance by analogy and offering insights from a higher perspective. Its with his guidance that Ive achieved my current level of cultivation!

So thats how it is! Mo Yuyan felt somewhat disappointed.

After thinking for a moment, she asked, Has His Majesty been on any long journeys recently? For example, has he been to the White Tiger Mountain Range?

Sword Elder looked at her with a strange expression, How could Master possibly make a long journey? He is the ruler of a nation, the sovereign of the world. All matters under heaven depend on his decisions! He bears the weight of the world on his shoulders. Not to mention making long trips, he has never even left the capital city! As for the White Tiger Mountain Range what would he go there for?

Mo Yuyan felt disappointed once again.

It seemed that His Majesty had never left the capital city and probably had no connection with the mysterious senior.

However, she trusted her instincts, which she believed wouldnt lead her astray.

She continued, Then, Senior Sword Elder, what kind of person do you think His Majesty is? How does he usually treat people?

Sword Elder was a bit puzzled. Why was Mo Yuyan persistently inquiring about the Master?

What did these matters have to do with her?

But when Sword Elder saw her nervous and shy eyes, he suddenly understood!

Yet Lin Beifan was only in his twenties. Even if he had started cultivating from the womb, he couldnt have reached the realm of a Grandmaster.

Moreover, no one had ever seen him practice martial arts.

Without training, how could his strength be so formidable?

Additionally, he had a clear alibi.

The senior was always in the White Tiger Mountain Range, while Lin Beifan was always in the imperial palace. The two places were thousands of li apart, and running back and forth would take two dayshow could they possibly be the same person?

Thus, Mo Yuyan was conflicted.

The facts told her that Lin Beifan was not the senior.

But her intuition told her that he was.

Just then, Yaoyao came running over.

So youre Mo Yuyan, the one who caused an uproar in Great Luo? Hehe, Ive finally met you in person!

Mo Yuyan frowned: And you are?

Yaoyao puffed out her chest proudly and declared: I am the Holy Maiden Yaoyao of the Demon Sect!

Mo Yuyan was startled: Youre the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect! My apologies for the oversight!

The real oversight is mine!

Yaoyao said excitedly: You alone caused such chaos in Great Luo, tarnishing the reputation of the Taoist Sect. Thats incredible! I couldnt do that, I admire you!

Looking at the excited young girl before her, an idea struck Mo Yuyan.

The Demon Sect had a long heritage and extensive records; perhaps they would have information about that mysterious senior.

Holy Maiden

Just call me Yaoyao!

Yaoyao

Mo Yuyan began somewhat awkwardly: As one of the three great sects in the world, the Demon Sect has very comprehensive records. I would like to inquire about a certain Grandmaster from you, is that okay?

Yaoyao nodded: Go ahead and ask. Theres nothing I dont know about Grandmasters!

Mo Yuyan was overjoyed: Thank you, Yaoyao!
