At Ye Sanhuan's words, Chen Lin raised an eyebrow.
"Then what guidance did you have for me, Fellow Daoist Ye, to stop me like this?"
His tone softened a little, but he remained fully on guard. Sword Will surged around him. If she dared attack, he would unleash his Death Sword Will immediately.
Killing her with proper justification would let him become the city lord, making it much easier to obtain Intentless Stone.
Ye Sanhuan showed no intention of attacking.
Instead, she gestured invitingly.
"I'd like to discuss something with you. Would you do me the courtesy, Fellow Daoist Chen?"
Sword Will surged around Ye Sanhuan as well. But rather than targeting Chen Lin, she formed a Sword Dao domain, separating them from the surrounding crowd and hiding them from view.
Chen Lin was somewhat surprised.
But after a moment's thought, he nodded.
Without her attacking first, his hands were tied. He could disregard her, but he had to obey this realm's rules.
If he wanted Intentless Stone, she was still his best avenue. Besides, he wanted to know what she was planning.
They walked one behind the other.
Though clearly amid the crowd, they seemed to occupy a different dimension. Not a single person could detect their presence.
Chen Lin was inwardly startled. She was deliberately showing off her abilities, but they were indeed impressive. She was probably not far from reaching the Sword Master Realm.
Before long.
They arrived outside a teahouse.
Seeing the teahouse, Chen Lin's expression turned peculiar. He could not quite fathom Ye Sanhuan's intentions.
This was the place he had visited last time. Here, he had slain Chu Fuhu of the Ye Lineage, forging a mortal feud with them.
Ye Sanhuan offered no explanation and pushed the door open.
Chen Lin followed calmly.
"Master!"
