As Xiao Lin had just left Luo Qingyan's room and descended the steps, he suddenly noticed that the scenery around him had come to a standstill.

The wind stopped blowing, the birds ceased chirping, and the leaves that had fallen from the trees hung suspended in mid-air. Not only that, but even all the sounds seemed to have vanished.

It was as if someone had suddenly pressed the pause button.

"What the... what's going on? Za Warudo?"

Instantly gripping Liuhan in his hand, Xiao Lin circulated the spiritual energy within his body while shouting at the top of his lungs, "Master! Master! Stop watching! Come out quickly! Your disciple is scared! Save me! Master! I'm scared! Save me!"

In such sudden situations, don't panic; first, seek help from your master.

As always, although Master is not tall, her skills are incredibly high, and in most cases, Leng Youxue can handle things, especially since this is within the Flowing Cloud Sect's territory.

However, if Leng Youxue doesn't respond, then it's time to panic.

Like now...

"It's over, Master didn't come out, so now there are three possibilities..." Pushing the spiritual energy in his Dantian and Qi Palace to the limit, Xiao Lin cautiously surveyed his surroundings while analyzing in his heart, "The first possibility is that this situation was caused by Master, so she didn't come out. The second possibility is that although the current situation is dangerous, it's within Master's control, so she chose to observe in secret and didn't come out. The third possibility... is that some immortal really wants to come down and mess with me..."

After all, besides an immortal, Xiao Lin really couldn't think of anyone else who could pull off such a stunt right under Leng Youxue's nose.

"Now it seems, the third possibility is highly likely..." Xiao Lin took out some pills from his storage magic treasure and swallowed them, "Master shouldn't see me this panicked and still not show up..."

Hmm... really won't?

Hmm... shouldn't, right?

Hmm... not sure, let's wait and see.

With his muscles tensed and ready to strike at any moment, Xiao Lin held onto this thought and waited a little longer.

Still, nothing happened.

What's going on? Did they trap me in this space?

Xiao Lin frowned slightly.

Then, unwilling to give up, he started shouting again, "Master! Master, hey! Stop scaring me! Come save your disciple! Your disciple will definitely bring novels to honor you! Master! I'm scared! Save me!"

But once again, there was no response.

Alright, in this situation, Master probably can't help...

Xiao Lin took another deep breath, then gathered his spirits, preparing to explore the surroundings first—seeking help was out of the question, he could only rely on himself, and since nothing had happened after waiting for so long, even if he might encounter danger, he had no choice but to take the risk.

It's better than staying here.

However, just as he chose a direction and took a few steps, the scenery around him began to change.

He saw the space directly in front of him suddenly distort, forming a void.

A figure slowly emerged from it.

It was a man dressed in a purple and white outfit, wearing a purple-gold crown on his head. However, because the man's face was covered with a glowing pure white mask, his appearance couldn't be seen.

Hey, hey, hey, could it really be an immortal?

Xiao Lin looked at the newcomer, gripping Liuhan tightly in his hand, while desperately shouting in his heart phrases like "I was just kidding," "I was wrong," "Please don't hit me."

Unfortunately, even though he shouted desperately in his heart, the masked man didn't return to the void.

Haha, my life is over...

Xiao Lin's face was expressionless.

Then he heard the masked man speak.

"Young man, do you want to learn the sword from me?"

"?"

Hearing the masked man's voice, Xiao Lin was instantly stunned.

Not because of what the masked man said, but because... this guy's voice had a damn electronic sound!

Wow, Xiao Lin really didn't expect that after crossing over for more than twenty years, he would one day hear such an authentic electronic sound.

Ah, full of youth and nostalgia.

"Uh... may I ask, senior, where are we now?"

But Xiao Lin quickly reacted, putting away Liuhan and bowing to the masked man.

"I don't know."

"Then, was it senior who brought me here?"

"I don't know."

"Um... then may I know senior's name?"

"I don't know."

"…"

Looking at the masked man who knew nothing, Xiao Lin thought to himself that this newbie guide wasn't doing a good job.

By now, he felt that he had probably encountered some kind of fortuitous encounter—after all, being able to appear in front of him without Leng Youxue noticing, if he really wanted to harm him, it should be quite simple, with no need to waste words.

It's just that this fortuitous encounter seemed a bit trendy, even with electronic sound...

Thinking of this, Xiao Lin gave up on continuing to ask questions and directly said, "Senior, you mentioned earlier about teaching me the sword, may I know what kind of sword it is?"

"This sword is called..." The masked man paused for a moment, then placed his hands behind his back, slightly raised his head, and continued in a loud voice, "The Ultimate Infinite Sweep Across the Eight Desolations World Number One Thunder Sword."

...

So low...

Low to the extreme...

Especially with this electronic sound...

Xiao Lin looked expressionlessly at the masked man standing with his hands behind his back, his toes digging into the ground frantically.

"How about it? Do you want to learn?" The masked man, after striking a pose, lowered his head again to look at Xiao Lin and asked.

Not particularly interested, it feels quite embarrassing...

Xiao Lin thought this in his heart, but still said, "Could senior demonstrate a move or two for me to see?"

Let's see before deciding.

"Alright."

To Xiao Lin's surprise, the masked man didn't hesitate at all, directly raising his right hand, and an ordinary-looking fine iron sword immediately appeared in his hand.

"Watch closely, this move is called Falling Thunder."

As the masked man's electronic voice sounded, the previously moonlit and starless sky suddenly became overcast.

Lightning illuminated the night sky like daylight, and the thunder made the earth tremble, as if the world would be annihilated in the thunderstorm in the next moment.

But soon, that terrifying scene disappeared without a trace, the sky returned to its moonlit and starless calm, and the rolling thunder was nowhere to be found.

It was as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

Xiao Lin, who was looking up at the sky, blinked, thinking it seemed more powerful than Tribulation Lightning, but was it too short? Or did you run out of mana?

The next moment, feeling something, he quickly looked down and was instantly stunned.

His gaze was firmly locked on the long sword the masked man was pointing at him.

The sword looked no different from before, but facing this sword directly, Xiao Lin saw an extremely terrifying scene—lightning illuminating the night sky, thunder shaking the earth.

Everything that had happened between heaven and earth seemed to be condensed into this long sword.

The sword was filled with endless lightning.
