Chapter 393 - 227: Identity Exposed 3
"Then why are you drawing your sword?" Lin Fei asked, baffled.
Jiang Man glanced at him. "That’s why I read the book. Now that I’ve finished it, of course I’m not afraid anymore."
Lin Fei froze. He didn’t quite understand what Jiang Man meant.
Just then, Steward Luo flew over, landing a short distance away.
He stared at Jiang Man in shock.
’This guy was actually hiding his Cultivation. There really is something wrong with him.’
"Steward Luo, you were looking for me?" Jiang Man asked.
Steward Luo glanced awkwardly at the two figures on the ground. "Private duels are forbidden here."
"Don’t worry about it. Just say they attacked each other. Problem solved," Jiang Man offered helpfully.
Steward Luo was silent for a moment. "Ah Niu, your Cultivation..."
"You’re at the Middle Stage of Golden Core, Steward Luo. A single palm from me would be enough. Just go back and report that." Jiang Man paused for a moment before adding, "Also, I only want this sword. I won’t touch anything else. Once I have it, I’ll wander around for a bit and then leave. It’s no big deal, so tell them not to get too tense.
"If they want a fight, they can send people."
After a brief pause, Jiang Man looked at the two on the ground. "By the way, who sent them? I feel like I should do something, or I’m afraid they won’t believe me."
Steward Luo immediately shook his head. "That won’t be necessary. I think they’ll believe you."
"It’s fine. I’ve found him," Jiang Man said.
In the next instant, his aura changed completely. A crimson sun began to rise slowly behind him.
The terrifying pressure stunned the Steward, who didn’t dare make a move.
The perfect harmony between his Golden Core and Physical Body had elevated Jiang Man’s power to another level.
The Young Sect Leader, who had been warily watching the Sword Tomb from below, immediately sensed the rising of the crimson sun.
He was overcome with a sense of dread.
The terrifying Magic Skill, the likes of which he had never seen, made him want to retreat immediately.
But a beam of light fell upon him.
In the next instant, his aura erupted as he threw up his strongest Defense.
However...
BOOM! The crimson sun crashed down, shattering his Defense and disintegrating his Magical Treasure.
The crimson sun struck the Young Sect Leader, sending him flying.
Blood sprayed through the air.
Above the Sword Tomb, Jiang Man’s figure slowly descended.
He then turned to Steward Luo. "There. Go back and make your report. I’m going to draw the sword now."
Steward Luo nodded, not daring to say another word.
’I told them this might happen! What were we supposed to do if the probing actually revealed something?’
’And sure enough, it did.’
Lin Fei watched Jiang Man in silence, momentarily at a loss for words.
Jiang Man looked at him. "I’ve been telling the truth this whole time, but you wouldn’t believe me."
Lin Fei was silent for a moment before asking, "How can you be so calm? Aren’t you worried that powerful experts will show up?"
Jiang Man smiled. "Because I’m too strong for you to comprehend. It’s perfectly normal that you don’t understand."
Lin Fei fell silent.
But soon, he asked another question. "Can I get out of here?"
"Hard to say," Jiang Man said, shaking his head.
"Ten thousand—no, thirty thousand Spiritual Source! Get me out of here, and I’ll give you thirty thousand Spiritual Source," Lin Fei said.
Jiang Man blinked, surprised. "You have thirty thousand?"
"I can earn it. I’ll pay you in installments," Lin Fei said.
"That works. If it’s not too much trouble, I’ll get you out," Jiang Man said.
Hearing this, Lin Fei was so excited he could have cried.
’It probably wouldn’t be easy, but at least there was hope.’
But before his excitement could fully set in, a piece of paper appeared in front of him. "Come on, write up an IOU."

「Main Peak.」
After receiving the report, Elder Luo let out a heavy sigh.
The Sect Leader was also exasperated. "I can’t believe he’s actually from the Wuyun Sect. But why is he acting so bizarrely?"
’He really couldn’t figure this Ah Niu out.’
’First, he was pulling all-nighters to practice his Cultivation. After entering the Sword Tomb, he just kept pulling all-nighters to practice his Cultivation.’
’He was doing such a good job of hiding, but then he exposed himself for no reason.’
’We run one casual test, and he’s completely exposed, without even trying to compromise.’
’If you weren’t going to back down, why hide in the first place?’
"Elder Luo, can you understand him?" the Sect Leader asked.
The Sect Leader hadn’t understood him before he was exposed, and he still didn’t understand him now.
’What is this guy after?’
’And he’s not even exchanging information with the other Wuyun Sect spy.’
’This man defies all logic.’
