Chapter 268 Yan Qi's Intention
"Brother Su's friend is truly a fine man; there are not many among the demon race with such a solid foundation as him."

Yan Qi watched the old ox flee and was the first to approach.

Su Che nodded.

"Indeed, the foundation is solid."

Demon cultivators are actually among the most robust and honest of all cultivators in the world.

For example, one can tell how powerful a demon cultivator is by observing whether their demonic energy is abundant, and one can tell whether their foundation is solid by observing the changes in their escape light.

In short, there are no fancy tricks; it's all straightforward and honest, with all skills written on their faces.

"Hey! Are you guys done here?"

As Yan Qi seemed about to continue his conversation with Su Che, Zhu Yan, disguised as a maid named Zhu'er, couldn't hold back any longer or was being urged by someone, and shouted loudly in their direction.

"My friends."

Su Che pointed to the other side: "I wonder if Brother Yan would be interested in going over to meet him?"

"Since he is Brother Su's friend, I am of course interested."

Yan Qi laughed heartily.

He is now very curious about Su Che.

Its body exudes a rich dragon aura, and coupled with the Xuanmang Dharma Form it manifests when it attacks, it looks exactly like the offspring of some old dragon after a night of passion.

However, the solid Xuanmen magic power he displayed when he attacked, along with the swordsmanship he claimed to have inherited from "Old Man Kuyun," were remarkable.

Others may not know the weight of the name Tingyulou, but Yan Qi is very clear about what this increasingly powerful organization in the East China Sea represents.

This made Yan Qi very curious about Su Che.

In fact, as a disciple of the East Sea Sword Palace, Yan Qi had two main missions for entering the Central Plains.

The first task goes without saying; it's the daily routine of sword cultivators: stirring up trouble and fighting everywhere, testing their swordsmanship and honing their cultivation and sword intent.

The second task was to find out the Demonic Sect's arrangements in the Central Plains and the East Sea.

In recent years, the Southern Wilderness Demonic Sect has been infiltrating the East Sea and even spreading to the Central Plains through the East Sea, which naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the East Sea Sword Palace.

Because of their shared heritage, the Sword Palace and the Profound Gate have always had an interdependent relationship.

In the Xuanmen sects of the East Sea, which one doesn't practice some swordsmanship? Even within the East Sea Sword Palace, there are people who create things like talisman swords and thunder swords.

The Sword Palace is indifferent to both the Xuanmen (Taoist sect) and the Wuru (Martial Confucian) sects.

However, the Sword Palace has a completely different attitude towards the Buddhist and Demonic factions.

In recent years, the Southern Wilderness Demonic Sect, with the help of the Lord of the End of Dharma from beyond the realm, has done several major things in the East Sea, which has aroused the dissatisfaction of the sword immortals in the Sword Palace. Therefore, they sent some disciples to travel the world to find out the secrets of the Southern Wilderness Demonic Sect.

Find out what these demons are plotting, their approximate sphere of influence, and what secret plans they have laid.

Once they've covered enough ground, a sword immortal will naturally step forward to slay a few extraterrestrial Dharma Lords and clean up the mess the Southern Wilderness Demonic Sect has made over the past few years.

Yan Qi now felt that Su Che was acting very strangely.

Dragon veins, mystical arts, swordsmanship.

With so many inheritances placed on one person, it seems like a big fish fed by the demonic sect.

Yan Qi had once heard an elder from the sect say that the Demonic Sect's favorite thing was to create a few "unparalleled geniuses".

They cultivated faster than others, possessed more magical treasures, and were all arrogant and domineering, their Dao hearts unstable. This attracted the attention of the sect, which poured a lot of resources into them.

Once these "geniuses" have grown to a certain level, a powerful figure from the Demonic Sect will step in and devour them completely.

They readily accepted all the sect's heritage and resources.

This was a common occurrence in the past.

Many long-established small and medium-sized sects often go astray precisely because of this.

Yan Qi guessed that this Brother Su was probably such a person.

"This is Yan Qi, a top disciple of the East Sea Sword Palace."

Su Che led Yan Qi to introduce him to the Prince of Wuling, Lady Xie, and others.

"These are Xie Da, Zhu Er, and Wu Si," Su Che smiled. "And I am Su San."

"have to."

Yan Qi laughed heartily: "So Brother Su is using an alias, but Yan Qi is my real name."

"Wandering the martial world is not easy, thank you for your understanding, Brother Yan." Madam Xie looked at Yan Qi: "I wonder which sect Brother Yan belongs to in the East Sea? Speaking of which, my family also has some connections with the Sword Palace."

My teacher is Ren Fuzhou.

Yan Qi smiled and looked at Madam Xie. Xie Da and Zhu Er could tell at a glance that Su San's "friends" were women, but Zhu Er's body was full of energy and his aura was deep, which showed that he was a master of body cultivation.

Although Wu Si has some cultivation, he has only just begun.

But it's this Mr. Xie.

There's always an indescribable smell about him.

Yan Qi had been practicing swordsmanship for a long time and had long since reached the realm of "sword heart clarity". His sword heart was like a clear mirror, which could reflect all kinds of changes, and no discrepancy could be hidden from him.

The man in front of me, Xie Da, is clearly problematic.

"So you are Mr. Dongya's outstanding student."

Madam Xie smiled and said, "So, we're related in some way."

How can this be related?
Su Che looked at Madam Xie, wanting to hear what she was up to.

"Oh, I don't know what kind of relationship it is."

The Prince of Wuling looked at Yan Qi with burning eyes.

This is a talent.

Although he had never heard of Mr. Dongya, judging from Yan Qi's hidden arrogance, the name Ren Fuzhou must be very well-known in the East China Sea.

“I have an uncle named Xie Youan, who is considered Mr. Dongya’s junior brother. So, you should call me elder sister.”

"Uncle-Master You'an is indeed from Daliang. You are from the Xie clan of Chen Commandery?"

"Hehe, I'm already married, so I can't be considered a member of the Xie family anymore."

"This junior has met you."

Yan Qi bowed solemnly to Madam Xie before him.

Xie Youan is the most renowned young sword cultivator in the East China Sea in recent decades. Fifteen years ago, he attained immortality by slaying heavenly lightning with his sword.

He and Ren Fuzhou were all disciples of Zihou, while Yan Qi was Ren Fuzhou's personal disciple. If we consider it that way, they were all of the same generation.

In terms of age, Yan Qi had been cultivating for over a hundred years, which would put him ahead of Madam Xie, but he didn't care about that.

Whether someone is a good older sister or a good younger sister, it doesn't really matter to Yan Qi. It's not like he's some kind of martial arts scholar who insists on ranking everything.

"So, Brother Su, you are also from a prominent family in the Central Plains?"

"He?"

Madam Xie told Su Che the whole story.

"This Third Brother Su comes from the Su family of Duling. Their family is very powerful and is known as a family of three outstanding talents."

"That's an exaggeration, that's an exaggeration."

Su Che smiled at Yan Qi: "My family is small, with only three brothers. As for my eldest sister's 'three outstanding members in one family,' you can just take it as an insult, Brother Yan."

"sorry."

Yan Qi bowed to Su Che with clasped hands.

"You're welcome."

Su Che returned the greeting.

"Brother Yan also wants to see the grand spectacle of the duel between the righteous and the evil."

Su Che smiled and said to the Prince of Wuling, "In my opinion, why don't we all travel together?"

"I have no objection." Madam Xie covered her mouth and smiled. "You young people should get to know each other better."

"I also have many things I'd like to ask Brother Yan for advice on."

The Prince of Wuling looked at Yan Qi with longing.

"But that friend over there..."

As he spoke, he looked at He Wuji on the other side.

When the group was fighting, Madam Xie pointed out the identity and situation of the Chief of the Heavenly Stables to him, which made the Prince of Wuling think of forming a good relationship.

“The people of White Deer Cave,” Su Che’s eyes flashed with cold light, “I’m already being worthy of their Sage Master by not taking action.”

The Prince of Wuling glanced at Su Che.

"Haha, I like Brother Su's personality."
