Supreme Sword Exalt

At the mention of Fatty, Tian Ji also ground his teeth in hatred and vigorously urged Mei Yun, “Right, go see him! That brat should have gone to the Central Dao Palace. You’ll definitely find him there!”

Seemingly afraid Mei Yun wouldn’t know the way, he tossed the jinx a jade talisman. “As for where exactly your opportunity will land, I don’t know either. You can go wherever you want. Just don’t force it. When the time comes, the opportunity will come to your door.”

Mei Yun took the jade talisman. “Great!”

He was about to leave before he recalled something. “Instructor Han, how about we—”

“Not going!”

“Then wait for my return—”

“Don’t bother coming back!”

Just wait! I will definitely come back!

Thinking of this, he impatiently left Tianji Valley.

The moment he left, Han Fu ran out with disheveled hair, laughing wildly like a madman. “He’s gone! The jinx has finally left! I-I can finally cultivate properly!”

Hidden beneath that laugh was sorrow. Since Mei Yun’s ability had strengthened, he didn’t dare cultivate at full power for the past decade. Even though he had painstakingly reached the first stage of the Heavenly Tribulation realm, Mei Yun still surpassed him. And his aptitude was supposed to be lower than his!

Han Fu muttered nonstop, “Cultivate! Face the tribulation! I need to make good use of my time before the jinx returns!”

Tian Ji secretly sighed and couldn’t bear to disturb him. He believed that if Mei Yun didn’t leave soon, Han Fu would really go completely mad.

Outside, Mei Yun felt refreshed as well, absorbing the most ordinary scenery with ecstasy. “After ten years, I finally see the light of day again! You damn Fatty! Just wait, I’m coming to find you!”

Of course, he wouldn’t forget to properly screw over Fatty. Unleashing his fifth-stage Heavenly Tribulation realm cultivation, he fled toward the Central Dao Palace.

At the border of the Eastern Wasteland and Central Continent, Yan Qi flew forward swiftly and silently. As he carried two people and a rooster on his back, his eyes still retained sadness and reluctance.

On top of his head, Fatty stood with his hands behind his back, constantly comforting him, “Yan Qi, you’re a real man, aren’t you? Stop acting like a sissy! Today’s parting is for tomorrow’s reunion! Don’t be so dejected! You’ll only disgrace your future status as a dragon!”

Yan Qi felt a bit ashamed. “Thank you for the guidance. It’s just that I’ve been alone for many years, without a single sibling. Now that I’ve finally found a brother, I can’t help but get a little emotional. Please don’t make fun of me...”

Fatty cursed inwardly, That Li bastard was really something. I saw it clearly! Before leaving, he was holding back his laugh!

Just as he was about to tell Yan Qi about this, he shuddered.

“Prince, what’s wrong?”

Fatty was baffled. “Nothing. It’s just a bit cold.”

After thinking it over, he still decided not to tell Yan Qi about Li Xun, preserving Li Xun’s innocence and beauty in Yan Qi’s heart. It was not out of kindness, but for fear of retribution.

Meanwhile, Gu Han was completely confused. “Master Rooster, what did you want to tell me?”

Along the way, Chongming had a hint of hesitation and struggle in his eyes. It was uncharacteristic of the rooster.

After a long while, Chongming seemed to have made up his mind. “Kid, do you want an opportunity? A real, tremendous opportunity. The opportunity that countless sword cultivators dream of!”

Before Gu Han could speak, Fatty had already started drooling. “Yes!”

He guessed this was why Chongming had waited ten years for Gu Han.

Gu Han was a bit curious. “What opportunity exactly?”

“A stone.”

Gu Han’s heart stirred. “Master Rooster, are you talking about the one-word sword stele?”

Chongming was stunned. “Huh? How do you know about that? But yeah, a supreme dao method is recorded on it. It’s the greatest fortune for a sword cultivator like you! How about I give it to you?”

Fatty curled his lip. “Master Rooster, don’t get me wrong, but where’s the thing? Even if it really exists, can you just give it away? What will the owner say?”

Chongming was furious. “Nonsense! It’s mine! I can give to whomever I want! I don’t need anyone’s permission!”

Gu Han was stunned again. “Master Rooster, the sword stele is yours?”

Chongming said irritably, “Of course! Back then, I was sleeping on that damn stone, and some idiot came along and took me and that stone away... Ahem, just tell me if you want it! I’m only saying this once, you know. Many people beg and shout but never get the chance!”

Gu Han and Fatty exchanged a glance. Wasn’t that just a nest?

Fatty was taken aback. “Master Rooster, who was that idiot?”

Chongming scratched his head. “I forgot. That kid later founded a sect. In terms of seniority, Little Yun should call him patriarch.”

The two sucked in a breath of cold air. Master Rooster’s seniority is so high!

Within the Central Continent, Mei Yun had fled for several hours. Instead of feeling tired, he grew more energetic, full of excitement. An opportunity? Me? I actually have a day when I run into an opportunity? Could it be that Master’s spirit in heaven blessing me?

Just as he was thinking, someone coldly shouted behind him, “Stop right there!”

Then, more than ten figures landed, blocking his path. Their auras were incredibly profound that he couldn’t see through a single one of them. Mei Yun secretly gulped, nearly falling headfirst from the sky.

A young man shot him a disdainful look. “Native, do you know the way to the Central Dao Palace?”

Mei Yun was about to deny it when the young man’s eyes flashed coldly, as if a wrong answer would cost him his life. His heart trembled, and he immediately changed his answer. “I do.”

A young female cultivator with an icy, arrogant expression stepped forward. “Good! Take us there! We’ll reward you handsomely!”

By now, Mei Yun had guessed that these people were outer domain Heavenly Prides. He cursed inwardly, wishing he could confront Tian Ji face to face, Tian Ji, you worthless old fart! What fucking opportunity?!

The young man saw him standing there dumbfounded, a flash of killing intent in his eyes. “What? Are you unwilling to lead the way?”

Mei Yun had no choice but to agree. “I am!”

The female cultivator was full of disgust. “Hurry up! Looking at your cowering appearance is really nauseating. No way I'm letting people see me with a native!”

Mei Yun acted submissive on the surface, but cursed loudly in his heart, Fucking hell! You’re the native! Your entire family is nauseating! You want me to lead the way, yet you’re so disrespectful! A pack of dogs!

The young man glanced at him. “By the way, what’s your name?”

The female cultivator said disdainfully, “Why even ask! Hearing a native’s name will only dirty your ears!”

Mei Yun was so angry his heart trembled. Suddenly, his heart stirred. “My surname is Hao, given name Yun.”

“Hao Yun?”[1]

The young man raised an eyebrow. “Not a bad name. Never mind, just lead the way and you won’t suffer any losses!”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Although he was full of smiles, his inward cursing grew even fiercer. Dogs looking down on others! Just wait and see! If I don’t screw you to death, I’ll be letting down the name my master gave me!
