"Murong Hanping..." From within the sword light, Xiao Hua's voice rang out leisurely, imposing and majestic. "The You family of Yifeng Kingdom are old acquaintances of mine. Had I not happened to revisit this old place today on a whim, I fear Yifeng Kingdom would have fallen to your Donglin Kingdom! By rights, I should cut you down with my sword on the spot, but for the sake of my one meeting with Murong Congyun, I will spare you today!"
"Buzz..." The nine flying swords suddenly flew away. Murong Hanping's body lightened, but he found himself drenched in sweat, enough to soak through his armor.
"May Senior bestow your name upon me?" Murong Hanping asked tentatively, still unwilling to accept this.
"You... are not worthy of knowing my name!" Xiao Hua said coldly. "Of course, if you insist on knowing, you will not be returning to Donglin Kingdom today! Why have you not left yet?"
"Buzz..." Another enormous roar sounded, but this time it erupted within Murong Hanping's mind. The spinning heavens and whirling earth nearly made him unable to remain standing in midair. Facing an opponent with such unfathomable methods, how could Murong Hanping dare linger? Turning around, he glanced at the cultivators who had long since been forced back several hundred zhang by the flying swords' radiance, then waved his hand. "Retreat!"
Seeing Xiao Hua sweep away a thousand troops with the might of a single sword and force Murong Hanping into a panicked flight, You Yun and You Zhongli were filled with joy. Let alone the fact that such a formidable expert was You Zhongquan's future master—even merely forging ties with Xiao Hua would ensure peace for the You family and Yifeng Kingdom for a thousand years!
