"What did you say???"

Upon hearing this, Yu Canghai was struck dumb, and Lin Zhennan's expression changed drastically. All eyes in the room instantly turned to Qian Chen.

Evil-Repelling Sword Manual!

Seventy-two Styles of Evil-Repelling Sword Technique!

Lin Yuantu, the ancestor of the Lin family, relied on this divine skill to become invincible throughout the southwest and laid the foundation for the Fuwei Escort Agency.

Even Yu Canghai's master, the former head of the Qingcheng Sect, Changqingzi, was defeated by Lin Yuantu and died in despair.

Yu Canghai's gaze lingered on Qian Chen. Years of self-control allowed him to suppress his shock and calmly analyze the situation: "This boy has a mysterious background. He survived my Heart-Shattering Palm strike; there must be a hidden story behind it!"

"I am a cautious person. Even if this boy knows my scheme, he certainly has no evidence. He must be trying to use the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual as bait to lure me into a trap and ruin my reputation!"

"Such malicious intent, truly utterly treacherous!"

Yu Canghai, believing he had seen through Qian Chen's scheme, sneered, "What does it matter to me where you know the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual is? Chief Escort Lin is right in front of you, yet you dare to claim you're revealing someone's family's divine skill. With such malicious intent, aren't you perhaps a demonic cultist?"

It's a common practice in the martial arts world! If you don't like someone, just label them a demonic cult member. It's a tried and true method!

Lin Zhennan looked embarrassed. He didn't know if Qian Chen was telling the truth or not, but assumed that Qian Chen was trying to remind him of Yu Canghai's true intentions. So he cupped his hands in thanks and said, "I thank you for your guidance, young brother!"

After speaking, Lin Zhennan glared angrily at Yu Canghai and shouted, "Yu Canghai, your Qingcheng Sect harbors wolfish ambitions, plotting to seize my Lin family's inherited divine skills and harming the lives of my escort agency's guards. Such behavior is a disgrace to the righteous path of the martial world!"

The two stared at each other, their eyes blazing with fury.

Seeing that neither of the two people involved believed him, Qian Chen pouted and immediately decided to drop a bombshell.

He looked at Lin Zhennan and asked with a smile, "Chief Escort Lin, you practice the Seventy-Two Forms of the Evil-Slaying Sword Technique day and night. Haven't you ever had any doubts? Why was it that Lin Yuantu was able to defeat all opponents in the Southwest martial arts world with the Evil-Slaying Sword Technique back then, but it has become mediocre in the hands of your descendants?"

Lin Zhennan's heart skipped a beat, and his face showed a bitter expression. He replied helplessly, "Of course I had doubts. I suppose it is because we descendants are dull-witted that we have failed to decipher the secrets of the divine skills passed down by our ancestors."

Qian Chen smiled and shook his head, then pointed at Yu Canghai, "You, Lin Zhennan, may be dull-witted, but is Yu Canghai also an idiot?"

"Sect Leader Yu, you've been secretly learning the Evil-Slaying Sword Technique for years, and I reckon you're even more proficient than Chief Escort Lin. Have you ever considered the reason behind this?"

Yu Canghai's expression changed. He hadn't expected that Qian Chen would even know that he had secretly learned the Evil-Slaying Sword Technique. He was even more unsure about Qian Chen's background, and his fear of Qian Chen grew even stronger.

"You scoundrel! Who exactly are you?"

Seeing Yu Canghai's constipated expression, Qian Chen couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Yu Canghai, what do you care about my background? But if you kneel down and beg me, I'll mercifully tell you the secret of the Evil-Slaying Sword Technique, how about it?"

Yu Canghai narrowed his eyes, a glint of shrewdness flashing within them. He thought to himself, "This kid must know the secrets of the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual. Rather than playing along with him, I should just capture him alive and take him back to Qingcheng for interrogation."

A seasoned veteran like Yu Canghai never speaks much before making a move; a flash of blue light appears as soon as he raises his hand.

Swish swish swish~~~

Several dark blue projectiles shot out from his sleeve, aiming straight for Qian Chen's shoulder and thigh, clearly intending to capture him alive.

"Yu Canghai is using underhanded tactics! Be careful, young man!"

Lin Zhennan cried out in alarm, but Qian Chen stood still, his feet firmly planted on the ground.

Just as several dark blue projectiles were about to hit him, he suddenly made a move and intercepted them in the blink of an eye.

Such astonishing eyesight is truly terrifying!

Qian Chen toyed with the Dark Green Spear he had just intercepted, looking at Yu Canghai with a playful expression. "Attacking without warning, Sect Leader Yu, you truly have no shame!"

A strange light flashed in Yu Canghai's eyes, his mind racing. "When I killed this boy yesterday, he was completely powerless to resist; but today he seems like a completely different person!"

"Could it be... that he really obtained the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual?"

"Just what kind of divine skill manual is the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual? How could it transform a person and give them a new lease on life in just one day?"

Yu Canghai's heart burned with fervor, completely disregarding Qian Chen's teasing. He declared righteously, "You demonic cult members, you've smeared my innocence! What kind of benevolence and righteousness do you speak of when dealing with evil heretics like yourselves?"

"If you surrender now and obediently return to Qingcheng with me to repent, I can promise to spare your life!"

Qian Chen smiled contemptuously, directly exposing Yu Canghai's scheme, "Yu Canghai, your calculations are obvious! Since you want to know, I might as well tell you."

"The reason why you and Chief Escort Lin's Evil-Slaying Sword Technique is so poorly practiced is precisely because you two only learned the sword moves, but never practiced the internal energy cultivation methods recorded in the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual..."

Lin Zhennan, who was standing to the side, suddenly realized that the real Evil-Repelling Sword Manual must be hidden in the Xiangyang Old House.

Upon hearing this, Yu Canghai revealed an expression of certainty. "Where is the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual now?"

Qian Chen smirked. "Oh? Why aren't you pretending anymore?"

Yu Canghai snorted coldly and slowly drew his long sword from his waist. The Qingcheng Sect disciples behind him followed suit and surrounded Qian Chen and the Lin family.

"I didn't want things to escalate to this point! Hand over the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Qian Chen didn't take the threat to heart at all, and chuckled softly, "Hehe~ Yu Canghai, let's discuss the matter of the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual later. Let's talk about our past grievances first! First, there was the grudge of a palm strike, and then there was the grudge of a sneak attack with a hidden weapon."

"As the saying goes, it is impolite not to reciprocate. I have just gained some insights, and I would appreciate it if Sect Leader Yu could offer some guidance!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Qian Chen swung his hand back.

He raised his hand and shot out a dark green bullet he had just intercepted. Yu Canghai, on the other side, immediately looked as if he had seen a ghost and exclaimed in surprise, "Nine strikes with the character 'Qing'? Eighteen strikes with the character 'Cheng'? Where did you steal my Qingcheng Sect's secret techniques from?"

Qian Chen smiled without saying a word. This secret technique of the Qingcheng Sect was naturally something he had learned from Yu Canghai. Although the True Immortal Qian Chen did not practice martial arts, with the blessing of the True Immortal Primordial Spirit, Xiao Ao Qian Chen's learning ability was comparable to Zhang Wuji, who had mastered the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

Even though he only glanced at how Yu Canghai launched his hidden weapons, he thoroughly learned the unique techniques of the Qingcheng Sect, and even came up with innovative ideas with a single thought.

"Stealing techniques? Yu Canghai, don't you dare smear my reputation!"

Qian Chen sneered, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. In an instant, he deduced a variation beyond the Qingcheng Sect's unique techniques. "This move, 'A Rain of Flowers and Coins,' is for everyone to appreciate!"

With a forceful shake, Qian Chen shattered several dark cyan stones. With a flick of his sleeve, countless fragments whistled out, transforming into specks of cold light that enveloped the entire Qingcheng Sect...
