After Li Fuchan put Wei Xinyun down.

In a daze, he looked up at the sky and had a vague feeling that the sky seemed to have lowered a bit.

To verify his guess, he took out a Copper Coin from his pocket. This Copper Coin belonged to Wei Xinyun and was probably left to her by True Lord Chi Sui for protection or to detect Human Reversal will.

Li Fuchan already knew about this beforehand, and also knew that the item was on Wei Xinyun.

Given the methods of the Purple Mansion Lord, such a thing wouldn't even qualify as a magic Law Artifact, nor would it be considered anything precious, yet it was deliberately not given to Li Fuchan.

He understood the reason himself. Although he claimed to be a disciple of Azure Ram Temple, he actually had no deep connection with the Azure Ram Temple.

True Lord Chi Sui naturally favored him, because he had never Blood-Consuming Cultivation or eaten people while traveling the world.

But this favor doesn't equate to trust.

He entered the Blessed Land with Wei Xinyun, so naturally he wouldn't do anything to kill anyone.

But it wasn't enough that he didn't harm Wei Xinyun; True Lord Chi Sui must want him to protect Wei Xinyun.

He didn't mention this to her face, but left the thing that could detect the progress of the Human Reversal nature on Wei Xinyun. If Li Fuchan couldn't protect Wei Xinyun, he naturally wouldn't be able to use this thing. In this Human-Reversal Blessed Land, he would be in a difficult situation because of his lack of understanding of the situation and the Human Reversal.

As for whether True Lord Chi Sui had any other intentions, Li Fuchan didn't know; he was merely guessing based on his own temperament. The Copper Coin was only the size of a thumb, and originally had a single Sword Scar engraved on it, but now that Sword Scar had become two. Li Fuchan said knowingly, "The second Human Reversal has been reached."

He glanced at Wei Xinyun, who was still unconscious, and murmured, "It's still too slow. Right now, the Three Kingdoms are in chaos, and the three rulers are frantically searching for us Celestial Person. The resulting chaos is enough to offset the third level of Human Reversal, but we've barely reached the second level. I need to give it another push."

Most importantly, the Knowledge-and-Vision Obstruction can only be broken when one reaches the Third Human Reversal.

Li Fuchan rescued Wei Xinyun from the palace of the Year Kingdom, so naturally he needed her to be an asset, not a burden.

Just as he was pondering this...

A bolt of Blue-White Lightning suddenly exploded before his eyes.

Fortunately, he retreated in time and was not pierced through the brow. Even so, a thin mark appeared between his brows, from which bright red blood flowed.

Li Fuchan looked up and saw a woman in Blue-Robed Broad Sleeves standing in mid-air with her hands behind her back. Her sleeves fluttered, and the sound of wind and thunder could be faintly heard from them.

The bluish-white lightning bolt that had appeared earlier suddenly returned to the woman's side and came to a steady stop.

It was Flying Sword.

She looked at Li Fuchan and said coldly, "A third-rate cultivator, without Law Power, how dare you call yourself True Person?"

Li Fuchan's long, narrow eyebrows, which had become droopy after he began practicing the "Fu Ying Contemplation and Perception Sutra" and then switched to practicing Lesser Yin, suddenly drooped, and a fierce and sinister aura rushed out from between his brows. He moved, about to retreat into the temple behind him.

Wei Shuo she did not stop her when she saw this, and the six Flying Swords that were swirling in her sleeves were lined up in front of her.

Her gaze was indifferent as she pointed to a yellow Flying Sword: "Long Breath."

Although Li Fuchan was fast, it was impossible for his flesh and blood body to be faster than Flying Sword.

The Flying Sword instantly blocked his retreat. If Li Fuchan continued to retreat, he would surely be pierced through the heart and lungs.

He stopped and turned to look at Wei Shuo, his expression solemn. "You haven't even reached the Fifth Human Reversal yet. Do you think you can kill me?"

Wei Shuo nonchalantly, "Why not give it a try?"

With a flick of her finger, she pointed at three Flying Swords in succession.

"Yellow Tower."

"Seeking Departure."

"Soundless."

Three Flying Sword responded to the sound. Li Fuchan fled in a sorry state, barely managing to grab the Great Halberd that had been left outside the door and use it to block one of the Flying Sword. A gap was suddenly cut into the Great Halberd, and before he could react, another Flying Sword came slashing down.

Li Fuchan had no choice but to dodge and retreat hastily, trying to get close to Wei Shuo. However, Wei Shuo saw through his intentions at a glance, remained unmoved, and continued to use his Flying Sword to force him back.

The Great Halberd, too, was broken into pieces during the clash with the Flying Sword, and was now in a terrible state.

Wei Shuo, watching this scene, suddenly spoke up, "The True Lord of Azure Ram Temple is a famous sword immortal of our time. The names of my six Flying Swords are taken from a sword song sung by the True Lord Chi Sui Zuo: 'Passing through this Yellow Tower, Seeking Departure, but the Long Breath Soundless. What to Rely On? It is right at my Brow Measure.'"

"I recited the names of these three swords on my own initiative, yet you showed no reaction. This shows that you are not a direct descendant of the Azure Ram Temple, and your swordsmanship is quite inferior. Outside of this Blessed Land, you are merely relying on the advantage of Law Artifact, and cannot be considered a true orthodox Sword Cultivator."

"Or perhaps they received fortuitous opportunity that made the True Lord take notice of them."

"Given your cautious nature, you're probably from Overseas. And your surname is Liu?"

Li Fuchan was utterly astonished to hear her words; she had only needed a few words to have her background exposed.

"The Direct Lineage the Purple Mansion are indeed extraordinary. They were able to evade the suppression of the Blessed Land and bring in this Flying Sword driven by Blood Qi and mental power. Moreover, they saw through my secrets with just a few words."

But he really didn't expect that True Lord Chi Sui could also make a sword song.

If he still held the title of a direct descendant of the Azure Ram Temple's Purple Mansion Direct Lineage, Wei Shuo might have been more cautious. Now that his background had been exposed, Wei Shuo's attacks became even more ferocious. Among them, the Flying Sword called Soundless cut a Sword Scar on Li Fuchan's cheek when he was surrounded by three swords.

Seeing that Li Fuchan did not answer, Wei Shuo he did not want to waste any more words and pointed at the remaining two swords. "What to Rely On?"

"Brow Measure."

He What to Rely On cleaved Li Fuchan's Great Halberd in half at the waist, thrust the Brow Measure towards his brow, and then struck several vital points with the remaining four swords, each flashing with a cold light.

With all six swords drawn, Li Fuchan was certain to die.

In an instant, Wei Shuo saw the fierce anger on Li Fuchan's face vanish, replaced by calm indifference, devoid of any fear of impending death. Wei Shuo frowned, sensing something amiss.

Does he have another plan?

Those who doubt will surely fail.

She didn't stop. The Li Fuchan in front of her had been locked Seeking Departure, so it was undoubtedly his true form. As long as the Flying Sword was fast enough, even if he still had other tricks up his sleeve, he wouldn't have time to use them.

Thump.

A drumbeat suddenly sounded from somewhere in the open space.

Wei Shuo watched helplessly as a faint gray light wobbled and slammed into his six Flying Swords.

The next moment, Li Fuchan waved his sleeve, concealing the six Flying Sword within it. Wei Shuo exclaimed in shock, "How is this possible?"

Before he could react, Li Fuchan flicked his sleeve, sending the six Flying Sword flying back with the force of the movement. Yellow Tower was the first to fly out, heading straight for him.

Deviating from Its Proper Course.

When Wei Shuo's murderous intent towards him reached its peak, Li Fuchan unhesitatingly activated the "Errant Thunder Drum".

His desire to kill Li Fuchan reached its peak, and under the influence of Deviating from Its Proper Course, the six Flying Sword backfired and killed him.

Wei Shuo she naturally didn't know what had happened, but fortunately, the connection between her and the six Flying Sword was still there, and her mind was also very strong. She easily subdued the six Flying Swords and put them into her sleeve.

In the blink of an eye, she was already a step too slow.

Li Fuchan moved forward and suddenly sprang into action.

In the blink of an eye, Li Fuchan knocked Wei Shuo down, stepped on her chest, and pointed the broken Great Halberd at her brow. With just a little force, this direct descendant of the Purple Mansion Direct Lineage of the Pivot Court would die here.

Wei Shuo caught off guard by this sudden defeat, and for a moment she was stunned, her whole body stiffened, and her beautiful eyes wide open.

Seeing Wei's expression, Wei Shuo noticed that the fierce look on Li Fuchan's face had vanished, and he chuckled, saying:

"Without external aids, how can one even claim to Sword Cultivator?"
