Supreme Emptiness-Chapter 327 - : Sword Forest Hidden Danger

Chapter 327: Chapter 327: Sword Forest Hidden Danger

Xu Yining quickly hushed herself after hearing this: “Shh! You cannot say such things carelessly.”

“The relationship between me and No. 1 Shadow Guard is just one of ordinary friends.”

She sighed softly in her heart.

She had wondered if No. 1 Shadow Guard had feelings for her.

Otherwise, why would he always save her and help her so much?

Last night, he even specifically assisted her in her cultivation, greatly improving her strength.

But after spending time together, she felt both disappointed and relieved.

No. 1 Shadow Guard had never shown her any romantic feelings.

“Is that so?” Nie Yunxi sighed:

“Such an excellent man, in my opinion, is just as outstanding as the chief disciples of the various sects.”

“To forge a bond with him is the utmost fortune, if missed, it would be a lifelong regret.”

Xu Yining thought deeply.

She couldn’t deny that No. 1 Shadow Guard was indeed the “ideal man” she had once dreamed of marrying.

But when such an ideal person stood before her,

She did not feel as moved as she had initially imagined.

Instead, Jiang Fan’s figure often lingered in her mind.

“Ah, thank you for your guidance, Senior Sister.”

Xu Yining sighed silently.

Her heart grew more complicated.

Just then,

A series of female screams rang out.

They looked over.

Three tall horses approached quickly.

The man leading the group was tall and handsome, riding a high horse, his eyes bright and powerful.

Wherever he passed, female disciples from various sects whispered shyly among themselves.

Some more open-minded ones even screamed on the spot.

Their eyes were filled with unabashed admiration.

Nie Yunxi’s eyes lit up with admiration: “This trip to the Sword Forest is not in vain.”

“To see the chief disciple of the True Thunder Sect, Lu Shiyi.”

“He is regarded as the Heavenly Pride King of the Nine-Sect Dual Stars alongside Fu Chaohun from the Heavenly Sound Sect.”

Her tone was tinged with a hint of admiration.

Jiang Fan listened, feeling speechless.

Wasn’t Ouyang Jun from the Thousand Refinement Sect worthy?

Wasn’t he handsome enough to be included in the Dual Stars?

He was puzzled as to why Lu Shiyi had come to participate in the Sword Forest.

The Sword Forest only benefited Foundation Establishment disciples, and he was already in the Core Formation Realm.

His presence served no purpose, better to leave the opportunity to the Foundation Establishment junior disciples and sisters.

“Elder Ling, why don’t I see Jin Yunlie?” Jiang Fan’s eyes flashed.

Among the three horses, only three disciples were visible.

Jin Yunlie was nowhere to be seen.

Elder Ling said gleefully: “Him? He’s not so lucky.”

“After being attacked by Leng Gu that day, he and his disciples ran separately.”

“The three disciples returned, but there’s been no trace of him since.”

“He must be in grave danger.”

Jiang Fan’s eyes flashed.

He had seen Leng Gu’s ferocity firsthand.

It was quite possible Jin Yunlie was in danger.

“That’s a pity, with the Beast Tide approaching, if only he could have killed a few more demon beasts before leaving.”

Jiang Fan teased,

Elder Ling smiled: “You are wicked.”

“But even if he returned alive, he wouldn’t have a good ending.”

He stole Xu Qingyang’s top-grade magic sword.

How could he expect a good outcome?

Did he think Xu Qingyang’s top-tier swordsmanship in the Nine-Sect Land was just for show?

It’s a pity that the only two top-grade magic swords in the Nine-Sect Land went missing together.

At this moment,

Lu Shiyi had already reached the mountain gate.

Under the admiring gazes of many female disciples, he stood up straight, enjoying the attention.

Suddenly,

He caught sight of a familiar figure.

It was Xu Yining.

Unlike others, Xu Yining turned her side, deliberately avoiding him.

“Junior Sister Xu!”

Lu Shiyi couldn’t help but call out, dismounting quickly and striding over to her.

Nie Yunxi was stunned: “Junior Sister Xu, you… you know Senior Brother Lu?”

Xu Yining looked helpless.

She had tried to avoid him, but he still approached.

Reluctantly, she greeted: “Senior Brother Lu.”

Seeing Xu Yining again, Lu Shiyi was delighted: “Seeing you safe, I am completely relieved.”

“The road from Desires Sect to here is extremely unsafe.”

“Even my master has gone missing.”

“It’s quite lucky that you’ve arrived safely, not far behind us.”

Luck?

Being chased by the Copper Scale Black Centipede,

And ultimately encountering Leng Gu?

Recalling the terrifying scene when Leng Gu appeared, she shivered and rubbed her arms.

Instinctively, she moved closer to Jiang Fan.

Only then did she feel safe.

This action did not escape Lu Shiyi’s attention, and he immediately frowned, displeased: “You again!”

Jiang Fan pouted: “That’s what I should say.”

“This is an event for Foundation Establishment disciples, why are you here causing a commotion.”

Seeing Xu Yining leaning closely beside Jiang Fan, Lu Shiyi’s heart filled with a bit of anger.

If not for the presence of Green Cloud Sect elders and Ling Jinghu here, he would have taken action to drive Jiang Fan away.

With a displeased expression he said: “Do you think I came here to participate in the Foundation Establishment event like you?”

“I am here at the invitation of Myriad Swords Sect to clear the hidden dangers in the Sword Forest!”

He spoke with pride.

After he finished the last sentence, he noticed the disciples around him showing signs of fear and realized he had let something slip.

But it was too late to take back his words.

So he calmly said: “Junior Sister Xu, the Sword Forest is not peaceful.”

“It’s better for you to stay by my side for protection.”

“Others may not be able to protect you.”

Xu Yining didn’t think further, decisively shook her head: “Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother Lu.”

“Having No. 1 Shadow Guard to protect me is enough.”

The chief disciple of the sect was indeed strong,

But in the face of Leng Gu, he could only rely on luck to escape.

It was different with No. 1 Shadow Guard, he had directly slain Leng Gu.

It was obvious who to stay with for safety.

Lu Shiyi frowned again.

He really couldn’t see what was so great about this guy with an unknown background that made Xu Yining trust him so much.

Even if his identity was revealed, at most he was just an elite disciple of some sect, right?

How could he compare to even a single finger of Lu Shiyi?

Xu Yining was still too young, never having faced real danger.

She didn’t understand the significance of a true expert.

“Alright, if you change your mind, come find me.”

With many eyes watching, Lu Shiyi found it inappropriate to force Xu Yining.

But when danger arose in the Sword Forest,

When Xu Yining sought him out again, it wouldn’t be as easy as now.

If she did not offer something in return, she couldn’t expect his protection.

With Lu Shiyi leaving, the disciples and elders from various sects started a commotion.

Ling Jinghu spoke sternly: “There are hidden dangers in the Sword Forest? Why didn’t Myriad Swords Sect mention it?”

Feng Guchan was also angered: “We have sent our sect’s elite disciples, the pillars of our next generation!”

“If there are any losses, can Myriad Swords Sect bear the responsibility?”

Jiang Fan pondered for a moment, then calmly said: “There’s no need to worry too much.”

“Myriad Swords Sect is more concerned about any issues than we Outer Sects are.”

“If the danger were uncontrollable, they wouldn’t open the Sword Forest.”

The so-called hidden danger likely wasn’t too serious.

At least the disciples should be able to run away safely.

What puzzled Jiang Fan was,

Why did they go to the lengths of inviting Lu Shiyi to clear the danger?

With so many experts in Myriad Swords Sect, couldn’t they handle it?

After pondering for a while, his eyes lit up.

Could it be,

That this hidden danger required the power of thunder and lightning from the True Thunder Sect to control?

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath,

And felt reassured.

Because the power of thunder and lightning,

He also had it!
