The Legend of the Yellow Springs Heavenly Saber!

Fifty miles north of Qingzhou City.

In the leftmost side hall of Red Maple Villa, a Brocade-robed Youth, with white cloth bound around his chest and a pale face, sat cross-legged on the bed. More than twenty empty porcelain bottles were scattered on the floor.

At this moment.

The Youth's aura was weak, his eyes devoid of spirit, and his teeth chattered. He looked as if he would collapse at any moment.

"Swish!"

Just then, a gust of wind stirred at the entrance of the side hall. An old man, clad in a Brocade Robe, with a large nose and wide mouth, and a long saber embroidered on his chest, appeared. The moment he appeared, he suddenly looked towards the side hall, his eyes wide, and he shouted in disbelief, "Rui'er!"

"Father..."

Upon seeing his father, Situ Rui could no longer hold on and slumped backward.

Situ Zhan's expression changed. He made a grasping motion with his large hand, and a green streak of energy caught Situ Rui. The next moment, Situ Zhan appeared behind his son, his palms pressed against his back, channeling his cultivation.

A powerful and peerless aura spread out.

Situ Zhan's Black Hair moved without wind. As he healed his son, his face gradually turned grim.

Half an hour later.

Situ Zhan withdrew his energy and got off the bed. He looked at his son, Situ Rui, a hint of shock and worry flashing in his eyes.

Situ Rui slowly opened his eyes, a flicker of spirit returning. He softly called out, "Father!"

"Rui'er, tell me exactly what happened back then," Situ Zhan said, looking at his son with a deep voice.

"This child was chasing that slut Nangong Wan'er and arrived at Qingzhou City. I finally found her in a restaurant. I could have captured her easily, but I didn't expect a Youth in the restaurant to hand her a black saber. In one move, my Startling Swan Saber was broken, and the Dragon Scale Armor you gave me was also cut open..."

"The most terrifying thing is, with that saber, she could unleash Ice Blade Force. She didn't have Ice Blade Force in our previous encounters... I suspect that saber might be the legendary Demonic Blade, the Yellow Springs Heavenly Saber!"

Situ Rui looked at his father and recounted the events of that day. A look of lingering fear appeared in his eyes.

"Yellow Springs Heavenly Saber?!"

"No way?"

Situ Zhan looked at his son, his heart aching. Then, his expression turned serious. "Rui'er, did you get a clear look at that saber?"

"This child glanced at it. The saber was about three feet five or six inches long, entirely black. Oh, and the surface of the saber seemed to have... layers of fish-scale-like patterns... just like what's recorded in the sect's ancient texts..."

Situ Rui pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice.

"Dragon Scale Pattern! Black, terrifying icy saber energy... Could it be... the Yellow Springs Heavenly Saber?"

"The Yellow Springs Heavenly Saber has been missing for over a hundred years, how could it be in the hands of a youth?"

Hearing his son's words, Situ Zhan was horrified and exclaimed in shock.

As an elder of the Divine Saber Sect, Situ Zhan knew the Yellow Springs Heavenly Saber extremely well.

One hundred and ten years ago, Ji Yang, the most outstanding saber dao genius of the Divine Saber Sect, was invited by the contemporary Holy Maiden of the 'Pudu Jing'an Nunnery' to pursue Li Tianhen, who had obtained the Yellow Springs Heavenly Saber. The two fought, and Ji Yang was defeated and killed.

The Holy Maiden of Pudu Jing'an Nunnery rallied various Jianghu Experts to hunt down Li Tianhen, but Li Tianhen was too formidable. After killing nearly three hundred Jianghu Experts, he fled.

With this battle record, Li Tianhen was known as the Blade Dao Overlord, and the Jianghu people were terrified of him. The saber with the Dragon Scale Pattern in his hand was called the 'Demonic Saber', the 'Yellow Springs Heavenly Saber' by the Jianghu people!

However.

After that battle, Li Tianhen also disappeared and never reappeared in the Jianghu.

"Rui'er, there's no time to delay. Father will take you to True Martial Hall to find True Lord Nine Yang now!"

"And I'll send a message to the sect!"

Situ Zhan looked at his son and said in a deep voice.

The most urgent matter now was to expel the Ice Blade Force from his son's body!

With his cultivation, Situ Zhan could not eradicate this Ice Blade Force, only suppress it by expending his cultivation. To eradicate it, one needed a powerful expert like True Lord Nine Yang of True Martial Hall, who had cultivated to the peak of Yang energy!

As for the matter of the Yellow Springs Heavenly Saber reappearing in the Jianghu, a message must be sent to the sect for them to handle it.

Not long after.

In the manor, a Divine Eagle soared into the sky. Immediately after, Situ Zhan, carrying his son Situ Rui on his back, sped away in the opposite direction of Qingzhou City.

Qingzhou City.

West City.

By the Clear Water River, there was a bluestone square spanning a hundred zhang. Along the edges of the square, dozens of great halls were built in a dense row.

This was the headquarters of the Green Wolf Gang, one of the two major gangs in Qingzhou City.

At this moment.

In the great hall in the center, a burly man in a Brocade Robe, with hands reaching past his knees, sat high on a tiger hide armchair. He wore a vest, had copper-studded bracers on his hands, and exuded a terrifying aura.

His eyes were open, and sharp light shot out from them!

At this time, nearly twenty people stood on both sides of the great hall, each with a not weak aura.

"Hall Master Jin, are you saying that the Hall Master of the Azure Dragon Society is actually Qin Shuang, the young shopkeeper of Fusheng Restaurant?"

At this moment, the burly man in the brocade robe, Chen Qinglang, asked the lean man sitting in the first seat to the right of the Great Hall.

"Yes, Gang Leader. That Qin Shuang is about sixteen or seventeen years old. The traitor the Divine Saber Sect was tracking once hid in his family's Fusheng Restaurant. I suspect that Yin Tianxing wasn't killed by Qin Shuang, but by the Divine Saber Sect traitor!"

The lean man's eyes flickered as he stepped forward and cupped his fists.

"Hmm, Hall Master Jin's deduction has some merit."

Chen Qinglang nodded. "Qin Shuang is only sixteen or seventeen, he couldn't have killed Yin Tianxing! Originally, I was planning to destroy the Flying Eagle Gang soon, but now... let's just monitor the Azure Dragon Society first, and wait until the Divine Saber Sect's traitor leaves!"

"As you command, Gang Leader!"

Jin Fugui respectfully cupped his fists towards Chen Qinglang.

"The high-ranking members of the Green Wolf Gang are all gathered here. Perfect, it saves me the trouble of finding each of you individually!"

Just then, a faint voice echoed from the entrance of the Great Hall.

"Who?"

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Hearing the voice, the expressions of the many high-ranking members of the Green Wolf Gang in the Great Hall changed drastically. They looked towards the entrance, all terrified. Swords were drawn, as if facing a great enemy!

They only saw.

Standing at the entrance of the Great Hall was a tall and straight figure, carrying a black long saber on his back, wearing a silver mask, and a green-robed man. The mask had two eyeholes, from which a chilling light shot out!

The moment this person appeared, an invisible pressure swept over them. The high-ranking members in the Great Hall all took a step back!

"Who are you?"

Chen Qinglang stood up abruptly, his eyes narrowing as he looked at the green-robed man who had appeared at the entrance.

"I'll give you two paths: surrender to my Azure Dragon Society and live, or die!"

Qin Shuang looked at Chen Qinglang and spoke calmly.

"The Azure Dragon Society? You want us to surrender? On what grounds?!"

" This..."

"..."

After Qin Shuang finished speaking, the scene fell into dead silence. Ten breaths later, the many high-ranking members of the Green Wolf Gang present all showed anger on their faces, gripping their weapons tightly, and murmuring amongst themselves.
