He turned around and found Ye Miaoyi's cheeks puffed up and she was very angry.

Sometimes Xu Chen really didn’t know what Ye Miaoyi was angry about.

However, he suddenly thought of something.

If he wanted to escape from Xuyun Sword Sect before the Disciple Competition, he might be able to take advantage of Ye Miaoyi.

Let Ye Miaoyi pester Xia Rushuang, so that he will have a chance.

Seeing Ye Miaoyi's angry expression, Xu Chen felt like teasing her and asked, "You said yesterday that I would know today. What exactly would I know?"

Being reminded by Xu Chen, Ye Miaoyi remembered what she had said to Xu Chen last night. She also said that tomorrow Xu Chen would know what "what is not yours will never be yours" meant.

And now...

Xu Chen won.

Win cleanly.

Ye Miaoyi really didn't know what to say. A few blushes crept up her fair face silently. She forced herself to say, "Oh, it's just a victory over a few bottom-ranked disciples. Why are you trying to be a hero? Come and spar with me if you dare."

"Okay."

Ye Miaoyi had just said it casually, but she didn't expect Xu Chen to agree all of a sudden. She was stunned for a moment...

……

Yunzhongzhou, Guhe City.

Many people in Guhe City knew that the geniuses of the Chu and Dongfang families had won the entrance trial by a young man named "Zhao Chen", but most people did not know that Xu Chen had already defeated the disciples of the Xuyun Sword Sect from the second, third and fourth peaks.

After all, it happened that day.

Logically speaking, even if today's incident had not happened, the news that Xu Chen defeated Chu Qianjun and Dongfang Qiaoyue would have spread to every corner of Yunzhongzhou, and even to all parts of Dasheng.

But apart from Guhe City, almost no one in the outside world knows about it.

There was no disturbance in Dasheng, just like the calm surface of a lake without wind.

the reason is simple.

The Xuyun Sword Sect intends to control the news and prevent it from spreading.

As for the purpose of doing this...

Nobody knows.

There must be a reason why Xuyun Sword Sect did this, but the people just can't guess it.

A figure walked towards the west of the city.

After crossing Puchen Street and passing Qumeng Chamber of Commerce, we came to an empty alley.

There is an art shop in the alley, which displays various landscape paintings. The owner is an old man who looks amiable.

He lay leisurely on a bamboo chair every day, and occasionally fell asleep listening to the sound of rain outside the window.

No one would have thought that the Faceless Man, the most mysterious mysterious organization in Dasheng, would be here.

The Faceless Men are the most mysterious organization in Dasheng and the source of intelligence for many forces.

There is a saying among the people: "There is nothing they don't know, only what you dare not ask."

The old man noticed something strange, looked up, and found a figure appeared in front of him like a ghost. He was so scared that he stood up instantly.

"Xia...I wonder what you want from me?"

Of course he knew that the person in front of him was Xia Rushuang, but he couldn't point out Xia Rushuang's identity now.

"Nothing related to Zhao Chen can be uploaded to your organization, nor sold to anyone else."

Xia Rushuang raised her eyes slightly, as if a cold light appeared.

"This...I can't accept it."

The old man knew that not selling it to others was fine, but not reporting it to the higher-ups was simply too much.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw himself drowned in a sea of blood.

His breathing stopped, as if he would drown in the sea of blood at any moment.

Fear, oppression.

He couldn't breathe.

"I'll do whatever you say!"

The old man admitted his mistake and immediately agreed to Xia Rushuang's request.

34. Hiding is impossible

The illusion disappeared in an instant.

"Hahaha……"

The old man kept gasping for breath. Even though the illusion disappeared, the feeling of palpitations could not completely dissipate.

He was breathing heavily, his whole body was trembling, and every cell seemed to be telling of fear.

Everything that just happened was still swirling in his mind.

Ordinary illusions will trap people in an illusion, but it is easy to break free.

More powerful illusions can make people fall into the illusion and sink to the bottom.

It can even make things that happen in the illusion reflected in reality.

The moves Xia Rushuang used just now were even more terrifying.

He knew that all this was fake, but he still couldn't escape.

Without Xia Rushuang to break the illusion, he would have been drowned in the sea of blood and suffocated to death.

The thick and fishy smell of blood filled his entire nasal cavity, and he still felt uncomfortable.

Often when you realize that the illusion is fake, it is time to wake up.

Just like most dreams.

The old man seemed to be having a lucid dream.

Worse than lucid dreams.

In a lucid dream, the dreamer may be able to control the dream, but for the old man, everything was out of his control and he was completely controlled by Xia Rushuang.

If he wants to escape from the illusion, he must realize that it is an illusion, but even if he realizes it, he cannot escape. So how to solve it?

Some are just desperate.

The old man panted for a while before finally recovering a little. He asked, "How did you do that move just now?"

Xia Rushuang asked in return, "What gave you the illusion that I would tell you?"

"I overstepped my bounds."

The old man didn't dare to ask any more questions, but he was a little curious about what he had just said. He said, "But our organization has various ways to find out about Zhao Chen. Even if I don't tell anyone, someone might report it."

"If the higher-ups in your organization find out, I will kill you."

Not giving the old man any chance at all, Xia Rushuang's tone was as cold as nine feet, and the old man felt like he was falling into an ice cellar.

He doesn't understand.

It’s fine if you don’t reveal the information to others, but why can’t you report it to your superiors?

Don’t the Faceless People have any grudge against the Xuyun Sword Sect?

The old man asked tentatively, "Sir, do you have any grudge against the higher-ups?"

have grudges.

Of course there is hatred.

Xia Rushuang knew very well how many people wanted to know this information.

She has quite a few so-called "sisters".

Xu Chen had many Taoist companions back then, and she knew of ten of them alone.

One of them is the Palace Master of Crescent Moon Palace, one of the seven major sects.

That woman will definitely collect information about Xu Chen at all costs, and it is very likely that she is connected to the Faceless Man, so this matter must never be spread.

This time, she didn't want any woman to know that Xu Chen was still alive.

How she deals with Xu Chen is her business.

It has nothing to do with those women.

As for the Faceless Organization...

Xia Rushuang suspected that one of Xu Chen's former Taoist partners was in the Faceless Man organization, so she asked the old man not to report it.

"That's not something you should know."

Xia Rushuang didn't answer directly, her tone was cold: "Don't even think about escaping my perception."

His inner thoughts were seen through. The old man smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will do as you say."

As a member of the Faceless Organization, he should report any intelligence.

But when it comes to life, he chooses to give in.

Stay alive.

Why report it when you are almost dead?

Seeing through the fear in the old man's cloudy eyes, Xia Rushuang perhaps still felt unsafe and raised her slender fingers slightly.

A cold light flashed, and the sword intent penetrated into the old man's eyebrows.

"You have my sword intent in your body. I can kill you at any time."

After doing all this, Xia Rushuang chose to leave.

It disappeared in an instant.

The old man's strength is already strong enough, having reached the thirteenth realm, and there are signs that he is about to enter the Grandmaster realm.

But he had no idea how Xia Rushuang left.

Generally speaking, no matter how fast a strong person is, he will not be unable to see anything.

At least there will be afterimages.

However, he couldn't even see a shadow.

Xia Rushuang disappeared in an instant, as if she had never existed.

After Xia Rushuang left, the old man prepared to classify Zhao Chen's secret as Class A, which means top secret.

The secrets that can enter the Faceless Man’s top-secret book are enough to shock the entire Dasheng.

The moment he picked up the pen, he stopped writing and said, "What am I thinking about? I am really confused."

Holding a pen is a habit, and many things cannot be changed once they become habits.

Xia Rushuang's threat made him change this habit.

He did not record anything and did not intend to tell anyone about Zhao Chen.

The old man prayed that no one else would know about this, otherwise he would be finished.

The Sword Master of Xuyun Sword Sect is no joke.

……

Dasheng, North City.

Beicheng is a large city in the north of Dasheng, covering an area of more than one million square kilometers, second only to the Imperial City and Nancheng, the largest city in the south of Dasheng.

Deep in a suburban manor, a woman with loose blonde hair was kneeling devoutly in front of a holy statue.

The holy statue looked like a god or a Buddha, with a strange face hidden in the shadows, looking down at the woman in front of it with a smile on his face.
