Taoist Ling Zhen hesitated for a moment.
That was right.
Why had they come all the way to the Hundred-Thousand Mountains for no reason?
They could claim they were visiting relatives and friends, but what princess had demon relatives and devilish friends like these?
Could they tell the truth? But if they did, the devil before them might very well change his mind again.
"Since you are so well versed in sword arts, Senior, have you ever heard the name Huai Taisu?"
Huai Taisu?
Naturally, Su Che knew of him. Among the pile of Sword Palace classics Kongkong'er had sent over earlier were renowned works such as "Huai Taisu's Brief Discussion of the Seventy-Two Mysteries of the Sword."
Huai Taisu had been an Ancient Era Sword Immortal, one of the founding figures behind the East Sea Sword Palace. Legend had it that he was the Ancient White Emperor reborn. With the Three Heaven-Cutting Absolutes in one hand, he had overwhelmed this realm and swept aside all before him.
He had also created the so-called Great Yin-Yang Sword Intent, a predecessor among Sword Immortals whose standard had stood tall for ages.

Jin Yunu burst into laughter at
