Nonsense! Master is not my wife.

"Am I still asleep?"

The man in black robe raised one hand and casually waved it in front of him. The extremely sharp sword energy that exuded terrifying pressure disappeared instantly!

That's right!

They were not forcibly beaten apart by the men in black robes, but simply disappeared, as if they had never appeared before.

This dreamlike scene made Xue Wuan and others stunned.

Swish!

Yin You turned into a sword light and flew directly past the crowd and towards the Sword Hunting Island behind them.

"No, don't let him pass!"

Xue Wuan suddenly came to his senses, turned around immediately, and slashed at Yin You's back with a sword, and the sword energy flew out of the blade.

But before he could strike out with the second sword, his vision suddenly flickered, and then the world changed drastically!

"This is... a domain magic power!"

Xue Wuan gritted his teeth and turned back to look at the black-robed man who had casually wiped out the giant sword energy:

"Who are you? What is your purpose?!"

Xuan Su did not answer, but slowly stretched out his hands.

Strands of energy flowed around the body, carrying with them a terrifying and majestic aura.

……

Just when Xuan Su was holding back the Sword Hunting Hidden Clan and the rest of the Hidden Clan were rushing towards where they were, Yin You had already quietly arrived over the Sword Hunting Island.

He looked down at the island below, and after scanning it with his divine sense, he found a place where the sword energy was the strongest.

Ancestral temple.

Yin You landed and looked at the vast silver-black ancestral hall in front of him. The ancestral hall was extremely luxurious, and he could see purple sky sword bamboo, ten thousand year old black silver iron, dark cloud wood and other rare treasures of heaven and earth that were extremely precious in the outside world.

"Why are you here, sir?"

Suddenly an old voice was heard, Yin You's eyes froze and he looked aside.

An old man with a haggard face and dressed in a plain robe appeared silently at the entrance of the ancestral temple, looking at him calmly.

Although there was no Qi flowing from the old man in white robe, Yin You could still tell at a glance that he was a cultivator of the Tenth Realm!

As if sensing Yin You's eagerness, Xue Hongguang said calmly, "I am Xue Hongguang. This is the ancestral temple of my Sword Hunter Hidden Clan. Why are you here?"

Xue Hongguang?

Yin You’s eyes flickered.

Before setting out to the Thirteen Hidden Clans, he had made sufficient preparations and read a large number of books about the Thirteen Hidden Clans. He wrote down everything from the famous methods and attack methods of each hidden clan to the powerful cultivators of the Thirteen Hidden Clans in the past thousand years.

Among them, there was Xue Hongguang's name.

Eight hundred years ago, a massive civil strife broke out among the Thirteen Hidden Clans. A large number of monks from the Sword Hunting Hidden Clans died as a result, causing the family to be in a state of disarray. The family fell from grace overnight and almost became the lowest level of the Thirteen Hidden Clans.

It was at this time that Xue Hongguang rose to power. After practicing Taoism for less than a hundred years, he had reached the eighth realm of cultivation. He became a famous sword cultivator at the time and got his wish to become the patriarch of the Sword Hunting Hidden Clan.

With his painstaking efforts, the long-dusty sword of the Sword Hunting Clan finally got rid of its decadence and once again emitted its sharp sword energy to the world.

Eighty-seven years after Xue Hongguang took the position of clan leader, the Jianshu Hidden Clan regained its former glory and even became the leader of the thirteen hidden clans for a time.

Because of his great achievements, Xue Hongguang left a profound mark in the history of the Sword Hunter Clan.

After serving as the patriarch for 173 years, Xue Hongguang resigned from the position and disappeared without a trace since then.

Some people speculated that he had successfully passed the tribulation and ascended to the upper realm, while others thought that his old illness had relapsed and he had already died. During that period of time, various rumors emerged one after another, but the Sword Hunting Hidden Clan had no intention of explaining anything, which made Xue Hongguang's ending a mystery.

Yin You was quite interested in Xue Hongguang when he first read the classics that recorded his deeds, but he never expected that he would actually meet him.

Chapter 254: Finally Seeing Qingyou

"Where is the sword hunter?"

Yin You was silent for a moment, then spoke.

According to historical records, Xue Hongguang was an upright person throughout his life and did things in an upright manner. Even his most mortal enemy praised his character.

Yin You was still quite respectful towards such a senior.

Of course, there was also the idea that Yin You did not want to fight with Xue Hongguang. He could see that the other party was a true tenth-level cultivator. Once a conflict arose with him, it would most likely attract other cultivators.

"Ok?"

After hearing Yin You's words, Xue Hongguang's originally calm eyes flashed with a hint of surprise: "Are you here to look for Qingyou girl?"

Qingyou girl?

It seems that Xue Hongguang and Qingyou have a pretty good relationship.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be ready to take action immediately, Yin You knew that his bet was right, so he nodded: "Well, I wonder where she is now?"

Xue Hongguang carefully looked at the black-robed man in front of him, with a strange look on his face: "Who are you? What is your relationship with Qingyou girl? Why are you looking for her?"

Hearing this, Yin You hesitated for a moment, but finally put away his black robe and revealed his true face.

Then he clasped his fists and saluted towards Xue Hongguang: "I am Yin You, the junior, and I am Uncle Qingyou. I am here to take her home."

"Yin You?"

Looking at the handsome young man in white with extraordinary temperament in front of him, Xue Hongguang pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "Are you Yin You from Xuelingxu?"

Yin You nodded gently: "This junior is indeed from Xuelingxu."

From the moment he decided to say his name, Yin You was prepared to be recognized. After all, he had been ranked in the top three of the Northern Territory Prodigies List before, and he could be considered famous in the Northern Territory.

Just as Yin You was secretly gathering strength and carefully observing the changes in Xue Hongguang's expression, trying to figure out whether the other party was hostile to him because he came from Xuelingxu, he suddenly heard him sigh:

"I didn't expect you to actually come."

These unexpected words made Yin You pause for a moment, and then he reacted: "Senior, do you know I'm coming?"

"I don't know, but a long time ago, Qingyou girl told me that someone would come here to find her."

Xue Hongguang shook his head, filled with emotion.

He recalled the memory.

It was a day more than 20 years ago, the demon rebellion had not yet broken out, and Xue Qingyou had just become a sword hunter for a few months. In order to completely refine the ancestral sword, she came to the Ten Thousand Swords Pool in the ancestral temple, hoping to find inspiration there.

Xue Hongguang still remembered that Xue Qingyou seemed to be in a bad mood that day. She stood alone in front of the Wanjian Pond with a sad look on her face. It was not until he appeared that she hid her sadness.

Xue Hongguang used to be good friends with Xue Qingyou's parents Xue Wuya and Zhan Wenyou, so he has a good impression of Xue Qingyou as if he were his own junior.

After learning that she was worried about how to refine the ancestral sword, Xue Hongguang returned to his residence and read relevant books.

But when he returned to the Ten Thousand Swords Pool, Xue Qingyou had already sat cross-legged, with sword intent and sword energy lingering around her body, echoing with the ancestral sword floating in front of her.

Xue Hongguang knew that this was a critical moment, so he stepped aside to protect him.

But until the evening, Xue Qingyou still hadn't finished refining. Her face turned slightly pale, and the sword intent and energy in her body even began to become restless.

Just when Xue Hongguang thought that something went wrong while she was refining the ancestral sword and wanted to help, Xue Qingyou suddenly sent a telepathic message and said something that confused him:

"Grand Elder, someone will come to see me in the future. Please bring him to me..."

"His name is...Yin You."

After saying that, a giant beam of light suddenly burst out from Xue Qingyou's body, reaching into the sky. At the same time, a vast, ethereal and penetrating sword energy gushed out from it. In a short period of time, it spread to all the islands of the Thirteen Hidden Clan, shocking countless Hidden Clan monks!

Even though Xue Hongguang was a cultivator of the Tenth Realm, he was forced back by the beam of light. He was worried and did not leave, but stood aside to protect Xue Qingyou. During this time, he stopped all the cultivators of the Hidden Clan who came after hearing the news.

The beam of light lasted for ten days and ten nights before gradually fading and finally dissipating completely, revealing Xue Qingyou who was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed. Beside her, the Sword of the Hunting Ancestor was hovering, relying heavily on her.

Obviously, Xue Qingyou completely refined the ancestral sword.

What surprised Xue Hongguang was that after her retreat, Xue Qingyou seemed to have a deeper temperament, making her look a little unpredictable.

However, after talking with Xue Qingyou for a few words, Xue Hongguang did not notice anything wrong with her, so he did not take the previous strange feeling to heart.

In the days that followed, Xue Qingyou's strength improved by leaps and bounds, and her sword intent became more and more profound, which made people terrified.

Over the years, Xue Qingyou has gone out to fight many times and has defeated many difficult and powerful enemies for the Thirteen Hidden Clans. Because of this, her status in the Thirteen Hidden Clans has become higher and higher, and she has reached the point where she is on par with the patriarch of the Thirteen Hidden Clans, only below the Ten Realms Supreme Elder.

Of course, it might also be because Xue Qingyou was busy with fighting and training, Xue Hongguang hadn't chatted with her for a long time.

Xue Hongguang had long noticed that this quiet and peaceful girl seemed to have changed her personality drastically since some time ago.

But he had no evidence and had not dared to face this problem. It was not until Yin You arrived today that he finally made up his mind.

Xue Hongguang looked at Yin You and said softly, "Let's go. I'll take you to find her."

As he said this, he turned around and stepped into the silver-black ancestral hall.

Seeing this, Yin You followed.

It is possible that all the cultivators went to Uncle Xuansu's place. Yin You followed Xue Hongguang in the ancestral temple for a while but did not meet anyone.

They continued all the way, going deeper into the ancestral temple, and finally came to a pool of water emitting a chilling sword aura.

Ten Thousand Swords Pond.

This is one of the most important places in the ancestral temple of the Sword Hunter Clan. Countless natal swords left by ancestors are buried there, waiting for the right person to arrive.

Yin You read a large number of books about the Sword Hunting Hidden Clan, which naturally included the Ten Thousand Swords Pool.

But at this moment he ignored this mysterious Wanjian Pool, and stared at a woman in a black robe who was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the pool.

The woman in black robe was suspended above the water, neither moving nor sinking.

She had extremely rare long silver-gray hair, a beautiful face, but an indifferent and cold expression that made people afraid.

This person is Xue Qingyou!

Although more than 20 years have passed, Xue Qingyou's appearance has not changed much, allowing Yin You to recognize her at a glance.

"Qingyou..."

Yin You walked a few steps to the edge of the pool and used his telepathy to try to wake her up.

As if she had sensed his arrival, Xue Qingyou's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes.

Yin You’s figure was reflected in those clear, pure white eyes.

Yin You was delighted when he saw this: "Qing..."

But before he could finish his words, a long sword suddenly flew out from the Ten Thousand Swords Pool and pierced Yin You's chest at lightning speed.

Chapter 255: Possession?

Yin You was completely unprepared for Xue Qingyou and was stabbed through the chest by the sword. Blood flowed out, instantly staining his white clothes red.

"puff--"

He spat out a mouthful of blood and his face turned pale.

The sword just now was aimed at his heart. If the fire god guarding his heart had not instinctively taken action to defend himself, Yin You's heart would have been shattered by the sword energy.

"Owner!"

A panicked female voice sounded next to Yin You's ear.

It’s Hong’er.

The next moment, a green light surged out of his body, and the long sword that pierced his chest was forced out by the green light and inserted into the ground beside him. Then, the terrifying source of life quickly repaired his injuries.

"Cough... cough cough... I'm fine."

Yin You wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and did not forget to use telepathy to calm Hong'er's emotions.

He raised his head and looked at Xue Qingyou, who was hanging over the Ten Thousand Swords Pond, again, with a dangerous light flashing in his eyes:

"You are not Qingyou."

Yin You's tone was extremely certain, yet at the same time concealed anger.
