Unparalleled Sword Emperor

4The sun rose. Dawn had just arrived, and Lightning Sea City had once again become as hustling and bustling as it was in the past.     3

    

"Martial Aunt, you're awake!"    

    

Just as he opened the door, he saw that Zi Lian, who should have been in a coma, was already sitting on the bed with a refreshed expression, caressing the Jade Sea Moon Sword.    

    

After he said this, he immediately walked over.    

    

"Thank you for your concern, little girl." Seeing her concerned expression, the purple lotus responded with a smile. Then, it looked around to see the shadow of the person that it did not miss. It seemed to know something as it asked with a depressed expression, "Did he still leave?"    

    

Hearing her question, Nangong Wan'er naturally knew that he was definitely referring to Ling Yunfan, so she nodded and replied, "After I gave the Primordial Spirit Blood Replenishing Pill to you before returning to the inn, Yun Fan followed his senior brother and sister back to participate in the Everlasting Pavilion's Protector Promotion Ceremony."    

    

"What a lovable and hateful fellow." Hearing that, Zi Lian mumbled bitterly to herself before forcing a smile to prevent the others from worrying. "No matter what, as long as he's alive."    

    

Once he finished saying those words, he did not bother with Nangong Wan'er's strange gaze and walked over to the basin of water to wash up.    

    

…    

    

Along with this death, on the other side, with the help of the Purple Gold Sky Profound Ark, they arrived at the Yuan Qingcheng closest to the Everlasting Pavilion within a single day.    

    

Since it was still early in the morning, and the Protector's Ascension Ceremony would start at noon, the group of people did not rush to return. Instead, under the request of Ling Yunfan, they chose to return to the house that he bought, but Second Elder Rong Rusty left first, using the reason that he needed to go back and help Liang Yunxing and the others prepare.    

    

When he first opened the door, he was shocked to find that even though the inside was still spotlessly clean, the three people who had been the hostesses here, Mu Hanlan, Mu Bingyun, and Qiu Yimin, no longer lived here.    

    

"The two holy maidens from the Spirit Race said that they will be returning to prepare for the Four Seasons Tower, which will open in seven days. As for the young miss of the Qiu Family, she will be staying at the Jiuyuan Peak for the time being." Seeing Ling Yun Fan's puzzled expression, Cang Yu slowly explained.    

    

"Alright, since that's the case, let's hurry back." Hearing her words, although Lingyun wanted to see a few of his beauties, but it seemed that he could not do so for now. Thus, he nodded and gave her a reply before turning around and walking away.    

    

Seeing this, the few of them naturally swiftly followed. Similarly, they did not forget to tell him about the Protector Promotion Ceremony.    

    

Of course, Ling Yunfan had also explained to him why Little Xuanxue had left him during this period, but since he did not go into details, he was a little unclear on what to do.    

    

Thanks to Cang Yu and the others' help, he finally understood that this so called Protector Promotion Ceremony was actually quite simple. All he needed to do was to defeat a demon beast that had a power surpassing the second level of the Mortal Realm in front of everyone.    

    

"Look, isn't this the Lingyun Fa who betrayed humanity to help the demi-humans and devils?"    

    

Not long after he left with Cang Yu and the others, he heard a voice filled with disdain.    

    

Hearing this, the fourth protector's face instantly became abnormally gloomy.    

    

"That's right, that's him."    

    

"I never thought that this traitor is actually a disciple of the Everlasting Pavilion."    

    

"This Limitless Pavilion is the leader of our human race. Why would they accept such a traitor?"    

    

"Look at him. It's like he thinks he didn't do anything wrong. Disgusting."    

    

As the voice of the skinny man rang out, the other passers-by seemed to have seen something extremely annoying when they saw Lingyun and started to discuss with each other.    

    

From the looks of it, it did not seem to be worried about angering Cang Yu and the others, nor did it seem to avoid it.    

    

"Don't act recklessly."    

    

Suddenly being called a traitor of the human race, Lingyun was very displeased. In addition, even his own power was humiliated. He really wanted to teach these unscrupulous people a lesson, but he was stopped by ChiYan in the next moment.    

    

"Why?"    

    

Seeing that not only was the other party not angry at the words of those people, but he had also stopped him, Ling Yunfan asked with a face full of suspicion.    

    

"Let's talk while we walk." To his question, Chi Yan did not answer. He only spoke a few bland words before pulling his arm and flying up to the sky without even looking back.    

    

Just like that, the group of people quickly left the cursing Yuan Qingcheng. As they arrived in the sky, Chi Yan explained to them everything that he knew about what was happening.    

    

And upon learning that rumors about him colluding with demons, demons, and people of the Blood Slaughter Steppes to deal with human warriors from the Ancestral Land had been circulating everywhere since a month ago, Ling Yunfan asked with an incomparably calm expression: "So this means that someone wants to deliberately discredit me and make me the public enemy of the entire human race?"    

    

"I guess so. At that time, Master told us to go around and investigate. Although we knew that some people did use fake projections to deceive others, we still don't know who it was." Hearing this, Cang Yu replied with a helpless look on his face.    

    

"So, Master specially prepared this Protector's Ascension Ceremony for you, and wanted to use it to warn the world not to act rashly." After she finished speaking, she immediately echoed her words.    

    

He knew that even if countless people thought he was a traitor to the human race and spread rumors about him, his master still chose to believe in him and even came up with a solution. Lingyun's gratitude towards Liang Yunxing grew even stronger.    

    

At the same time, he secretly decided to filial piety to Liang Yunxing in the future as well.    

    

…    

    

Since Yuan Qingcheng was less than two mountains away from the Everlasting Pavilion, the group of people soon crossed the pavilion and arrived at the Jiuyuan Peak.    

    

In this period of time, Lingyun had originally planned to go to the Pavilion Master's secret room first, after all, Master was secretly taking care of him, so naturally, he came back to report his safety. However, before he could even take two steps, he was blocked by the Protectors' promotion ceremony that Liang Yunxing and the others had prepared for him, and had people take care of the representatives of the major powers from afar.    

    

"Yun Fan!"    

    

The moment he walked in, he felt a familiar voice calling out to him.    

    

Then, a soft body fell into his embrace.    

    

"What did my Yi Min call me?" After seeing that the beautiful person in his embrace was his beloved Qiu Yimin, Lingyun's eyes flashed with a cunning look, and deliberately asked with displeasure.    

    

"You bastard, I'm calling you husband." Hearing his words, Qiu Yi Min fiercely pinched her waist and glared at him with a flushed face.
