Chapter 938: Chapter 71: Demon Yan’s Three Questions

Yan Jiantong is twenty-eight this year, with exceptional talent, having learned martial arts from his master since childhood.

In the Martial World, he doesn’t dare claim to be the best, but he’s definitely among the top few.

Given time, it’s not impossible for him to become the strongest in the martial arts world.

Even if he were to face Chen Xiao, the Thunderbolt Sword, considered the number one expert in the Martial World, his chances of victory are at least around forty percent.

He’s encountered countless martial arts masters.

Sturdy warriors, sinister elders, beautiful women, dwarfs…

He’s met all sorts of people, and his experiences are truly remarkable.

Yet, today, he really misjudged someone.

At first, when he saw the old man in green with such imposing presence, he thought the person was an extraordinary expert and didn’t dare underestimate him.

However, later on, when he communicated with him, he found out this person claimed to be a cultivator, which immediately made him mistakenly think the other was lying.

After all, given the Emperor’s words, everyone in the world now believes there are no such things as cultivators.

But everything happening in front of Yan Jiantong completely shattered his understanding.

No matter how strong one’s Lightweight Skill is, it’s impossible to fly in the sky like this.

Looking at the vast land beneath, he knew that what the other had said before was indeed true.

In this world, there truly exist cultivators capable of reaching the skies and burrowing into the earth.

Thinking of this, Yan Jiantong did not feel the slightest panic, but instead developed a fervent desire for that new realm.

The path of martial arts, which he initially thought would end soon, surprisingly had room for further progress.

Cultivation!

Immortality!

Master Liu’s Sword Control Technique has only ever carried one person at most.

Like this time, carrying three people along with a dog and a fox, it was his first attempt.

The sword light turned into a meteor and disappeared instantly.

The city’s residents only thought they were seeing things, not having time to see clearly before the figure vanished from their field of view.

Outside the city, in a small grove beside a tea stall.

Pei Laoliu descended with his sword, and in just this short while, he had consumed more than half of his Dark Energy.

“Forcefully carrying so many people for sword flight consumes much more mana than under normal circumstances…”

After sensing his remaining mana, Master Liu was still not worried.

Having already exited from Han Yue City, he just needed to find a place to rest for half a day, naturally recovering to his optimal status.

“Six, Master Liu?”

Yan Jiantong felt the solid ground beneath him and gradually awoke from his soaring thoughts.

“Master Liu, I didn’t expect that today I’ve truly misjudged; you are actually a cultivator…”

He clasped his hands and said:

“Thank you, Master Liu, for bringing me out, and I will surely remember this day’s kindness!”

Pei Laoliu waved his hand and said:

“No need for such words, young friend. The reason you got surrounded was to help me, so it’s me who should thank you for resolving this hostage crisis for me.”

“Moreover, with your martial arts, retreating unscathed from the City Guard Army’s encirclement shouldn’t be difficult, right? There’s just one thing I find unclear…”

Yan Jiantong nodded and said:

“Please speak plainly, Master Liu. If I know, I will certainly tell you truthfully.”

Pei Laoliu furrowed his brows in thought, then said:

“To be honest, I’ve only been here for half a day, but the people here give me a strange feeling. Whenever someone sees me, they quickly walk away as if avoiding a beast.”

“And the people here seem not to believe in my identity; although I am a cultivator, I never claimed to know Immortal Law, yet few are willing to believe. Could it be that not a single cultivator exists in this world now?”

Pei Laoliu expressed his doubts.

Though he hadn’t been here long, he wasn’t foolish and had already noticed some differences in this place.

Especially the attitude of the local people towards him, as if avoiding a Plague God, fearing misfortune if they got close.

“This… Master Liu, haven’t you heard the saying from our Da Fu Dynasty’s Emperor?”

“What saying?”

“There is no path in the world; if anyone dares speak falsely of it, they will die!”

Immediately, Yan Jiantong recounted the past events to Pei Laoliu, leaving Li Qiang beside him utterly astonished.

After speaking, he shook his head and laughed, saying:

“Originally, I also thought things were truly as the Emperor said, but today I realized he’s merely viewing the sky from the bottom of a well. In this world, there are True Immortals, and how could a mere mortal like him find them?”

If these words were heard outside, they would certainly be considered treasonous.

However, Yan Jiantong, being unparalleled in martial arts and called a “Demon” by the City Guard Army, couldn’t care less about such matters and naturally said whatever he pleased.

At this point, Pei Laoliu finally understood the whole situation.

No wonder after laying out his stall in the market all afternoon, no one came to inquire.

No wonder Xing Rilong, after hearing he was a cultivator, advised him not to oppose the court.

The reason lies here.

Now he finally understood the situation, but whether there is truly no path as the Emperor claimed, he dared not agree.

After all, he genuinely arrived in this world through the Teleportation Array.

If cultivators didn’t exist in this world, then how were those formations left behind?
