Supreme Sword Exalt

After seeing Gu Han return, Fatty’s eyes lit up. “How did you do it? Teach me!!”

Others couldn’t see through it, but having spent a long time with Gu Han, he had noticed some clues. That punch had actually just been a decoy, causing minimal damage to Wu Sheng. What was truly formidable were the other methods Gu Han had hidden.

Gu Han thought for a moment. “First, find the most powerful sword intent in the world.”

“And then?”

“Then slash your soul with a sword. If you don’t die...”

“If I don’t die, then it’s done?”

“If you don’t die, you still have to endure eight more sword strikes.”

Fatty was speechless. He finally understood. If an ordinary cultivator tried any of Gu Han’s cultivation methods, they would have died on the spot. Convinced that Gu Han’s survival to this point was simply due to good fortune, Fatty lost all interest in his cultivation methods.

Sword Prince saw the crowd’s skeptical gazes. "He truly is a sword cultivator. It’s just that besides the sword dao, he also walks the path of a body cultivator. Hence, his strength is considerable. However, his path is ultimately wrong.

“A senior once told me that the sword dao is the purest. However, since this man splits his focus among many things, his methods are miscellaneous yet unrefined. He may appear powerful, but in truth, he has strayed down the wrong path.”

Lacking sufficient insight to see through the Indestructible Sword Physique, he simply regarded Gu Han as an ordinary body cultivator.

The crowd became convinced. A body cultivator plus a sword cultivator? No wonder he’s so strong!

Sword Prince shook his head with disappointment. “His sword isn’t worth seeing!”

Gu Han felt disgusted again. He even began to suspect that besides making him unlucky, the curse also had a special effect of nauseating him.

With a dazed and groggy mind, Wu Sheng struggled to his feet. “Brother Sword is right. This man is not only a body cultivator, but also proficient in divine sense attack methods!”

Though he didn’t seem battered, his soul was badly injured.

He glowered at Gu Han. “This isn’t over between us!”

Fatty stroked his chin. “What if we just kill him?”

Gu Han gladly agreed, “Alright.”

Wu Sheng’s expression changed drastically, and he couldn’t help but retreat several steps. He couldn’t even beat Gu Han, let alone the two of them together?

Sword Prince frowned slightly, stepping sideways to shield him. “That’s enough. You’ve severely injured him. You shouldn’t fight anymore.”

Fatty gave a ruthless laugh. “What? You want to stand up for him?”

Though he had heard of Sword Prince’s reputation long ago, they had never crossed paths before. It went without saying that he was also repulsed by the man.

Sword Prince shook his head. “I’m not standing up for him. This is Tianji Valley. Senior Tianji is a person of lofty virtue and prestige. If you start a fight here, you’ll cause a big commotion. If you displease him and he refuses to see us any longer, who will bear that responsibility?”

With one sentence, he pushed the two to the opposition of everyone else. Sure enough, the others secretly glanced at Fatty.

“Young Master Fu, just calm down!”

“Exactly. Even if you don’t want to see him, we do!”

“Sword Prince has waited three months already. Senior Tianji might show up any day now, and then we can benefit too. But if you cause a scene...”

Though not stated explicitly, the reproach and dissatisfaction in their words were very clear.

Fatty raised an eyebrow. “Can’t see him? That’s just skill issue! I can see him whenever I want!”

The others scoffed. Tian Ji had a strange temper. Never mind a young sect master, even if a saint realm cultivator came, they’d still have to wait.

Fatty ignored them and gathered his cultivation, shouting, “Old Tianji, open the formation and let me in!”

The crowd’s hearts dropped, and they quickly distanced themselves from him to avoid being implicated.

Gu Han sent a secret transmission. “Fatty, will it work?”

Fatty was full of confidence. “Relax. The old man and I go way back. Besides, isn’t Instructor Mei inside? We’re practically one of them!”

Still, Gu Han was a bit worried. ”You went and set Instructor Mei up just to annoy him, and you still think he’ll see you?”

Just then, Mei Yun’s voice, full of impatience, sounded from within. “What’s all the shouting about! I said to wait there!”

Fatty was amused. “Instructor Mei? Quick, tell Old Tianji to open the formation!”

Mei Yun’s face darkened again. “I can’t open it! Just wait!”

He had recognized Fatty’s voice, but as he gradually thought of Fatty’s unreliable behavior, his anger surged. He wanted to leave him hanging for a while.

Fatty was dumbfounded. Before coming, he had assured Fu Dahai repeatedly that he would definitely meet Tianjizi, but now...

Fatty was taken aback.. “Instructor Mei! It’s me, Yulin!”

“It doesn’t matter who it is. Just wait!”

Fatty was completely stunned. He hadn’t seen Instructor Mei for such a short time, how come he seemed like a completely different person?

Sword Prince smiled contemptuously. “Fu Yulin, you’ve shown such disrespect to Senior Tianji. How could he possibly let you in? You’d better leave quickly, lest you affect the rest of us.”

Not just him, the others also had expressions of ridicule. Skill issue? But you, Great Young Master Fu, aren’t so capable either. Why don’t you go in then?!

Fatty stubbornly tried to save face. “You don’t know shit! This is just a joke Instructor Mei is playing on me!”

Gu Han was speechless. He casted a sympathetic glance at Fatty, guessing Fatty had thoroughly offended Mei Yun. Then, he gathered his cultivation as well. “Instructor Mei, it’s me, Gu Han.”

The mockery on the crowd’s faces deepened. Gu Han? Who is Gu Han? Who does he think he is? Even Sword Prince and Fu Yulin couldn’t see him. How could some unknown Gu Han just—

Just as they thought that, the crowd froze. The seemingly real yet illusory thick fog seemed to boil. As it swirled and flowed, it faintly parted to reveal a three-chi-wide passage.

Then, Mei Yun hurried over from within the thick fog. Joy was written all over his face, and his degree of sourness plummeted. “G-Gu Han! What brings you here?”

Gu Han sighed inwardly. Poor Instructor Mei...

After some thought, he said, “I came to see you.”

It was a white lie.

Mei Yun’s nose tingled with emotion, and the rims of his eyes reddened. “To see me? How thoughtful, so thoughtful...”

With Tian Ji in seclusion, he had no one except for a perpetually scowling Han Fu and a bunch of spirit beasts with chronic diarrhea. Mei Yun was bored to death. Upon hearing Gu Han’s words, he was so moved that he almost cried tears of joy.

How rare for someone to still remember me, Mei Yun!

Just then, he frowned slightly. “Hmm? I feel like something’s off about you... Never mind, never mind. Come inside first!”

With great warmth, he led Gu Han into the valley. The crowd was completely dumbfounded, their faces felt hot and a bit sore. Wasn’t Gu Han supposed to be a nobody? Yet not only was he personally greeted by someone from Tianji Valley, but he also received even greater honor than the three young masters. W-who is this man?!

Fatty followed over with full displeasure. “Instructor Mei, you’re the one controlling this formation? Is Old Tianji still in seclusion? You were so unfair just now—”

Mei Yun glared at him. “You’re not allowed in! It’s all your fault that I got trapped here!”

Looking at the jade talisman in Mei Yun’s hand, and then at the unpredictable Tianji Great Formation, Fatty swallowed his saliva and dared not speak further. What if Mei Yun did the unthinkable?

Gu Han appeared helpless. “Instructor Mei, let him in. We still have important matters.”

Mei Yun glared at Fatty again. “If it weren’t for Gu Han, I’d make you wait another three days and three nights!”

The crowd immediately took note of the scene. It seems this person controlling the formation listens to that guy called Gu Han?

Instantly, their fervent gazes fell upon Gu Han. If he agrees, can I go in too?

Sword Prince was the first to speak, gazing sincerely at Gu Han. “Please wait. As fellow sword cultivators, it’s only right—”

Gu Han just smirked. After you’ve disgusted me for so long, take a wild guess whether I’ll let you in.
