Xie Yan must have had some intention, hadn't he?
After the events in Juebi City, Yu Ci and Xie Yan had grown quite close. Yu Ci was confident that if he asked this immortal elder for guidance in swordsmanship, he would not be refused. Yet teaching him a heart formula in such surroundings and making him train on the spot—especially with the subtle and far-from-friendly interactions with He Qing—made it feel as though there was much more beneath the surface.
Naturally, Yu Ci was curious. His gaze traveled over the faces of the immortal elders as he tried to gauge the situation. Xie Liang raised his eyes and met his gaze.
"Senior Brother Xie's teachings are exceedingly profound. But you must not force it deliberately. You need to distinguish between the Rainbow Transformation and mist transformation of sword intent."
Xie Liang too?
Yu Ci was even more puzzled. Yet when his eyes met Xie Liang's again, his heart tightened. He answered, "Yes," then drew the Pure Yang Talisman Sword.
With his sword in hand, Yu Ci made a slight adjustment where he stood, then took ten steps forward.
Thanks to the powerful methods of the immortal elders, the Heart Demon Sha Qi and formed yin demons within a radius of several li had been swept clean. Not to mention ten steps—even fifty or a hundred steps posed no danger. Yet these ten steps were extremely important. Yu Ci used them to bring his breathing, state of mind, and spirit to their most perfect condition.
He no longer cared what Xie Yan and the others were thinking, nor what effect those thoughts might have on him. He let all such concerns sink to the depths of his heart-lake, while the flashes of insight belonging to the sword path emerged and gleamed.
