Xie Lingfeng took several deep breaths to calm himself down, then said in a deep voice, “Brother Xu, continue!”

“Do you really want me to continue?”

Xu Yan asked hesitantly.

“Continue!”

Xie Lingfeng clenched his teeth.

“Alright.”

Xu Yan nodded and continued, “After Bone Refinement comes Viscera Refinement… when the sinews and bones thunder and the Qi-Blood is vigorous, that is the entrance to Martial Arts, and I have already perfected the Qi-Blood Realm!”

By the time Xu Yan had finished speaking, Xie Lingfeng felt his head was about to explode, buzzing sounds ringing in his ears, and he felt a burning sensation.

It was as if his brain was on fire!

He breathed heavily, his eyes gradually losing focus, beginning to question his life.

He, who had started practicing Martial Arts at the age of six, and entered the Sword Dao at the same age… was praised by everyone as the Sword Venerate Cliff, the foremost prodigy in Sword Dao in a thousand years.

He had thought so too.

Around the Inner Domain, few of his peers could match him.

And in the art of Sword Dao, he was the best among his peers.

As a result, coming to the Border Wilderness was like discovering the harsh truth; he had never even entered the gates of Sword Dao.

Even worse, the Martial Arts he had been practicing was actually a false practice!

Hu Shan panted heavily, his eyes red with rage, and he growled, “Don’t talk nonsense, our Sword Venerate Cliff’s legacy, how could it be a false practice!”

Xu Yan was not angry but instead looked at him with pity, thinking how truly pitiful it was to discover after a lifetime of practice that he had been following a false practice.

His inability to accept it was understandable.

He couldn’t help but reflect on himself, “Was I, maybe, too blunt?”

He asked aloud, “Tell me this, I have perfected the Qi-Blood Realm, which is just the entrance to Martial Arts, yet you are at the Grandmaster level, the pinnacle of Martial Arts, but your strength is not equal to mine.

“Isn’t it obvious which is true and which is false?”

“I…”

Hu Shan was at a loss for words.

One just entering Martial Arts, the other supposedly at the pinnacle, yet the former is stronger than the latter. It goes without saying who’s practicing the true and who the false.

Xie Lingfeng rose up dejectedly, cupped his hands in respect, and said, “Brother Xu, thank you for enlightening me. I need some time alone, I will visit you another day to express my gratitude!”

“No worries, Brother Xie, please!”

Xu Yan revealed a bright smile.

Xie Lingfeng and Hu Shan rose into the air and returned to the Capital City of Qi Country.

This trip to the Border Wilderness was originally to slay Xue Wuxin, but it turned out that someone else had already killed him.

To think that the Border Wilderness actually had Martial Artists.

And after a series of sparring matches, they discovered the practice they followed was false Martial Arts?

Their worldview on Martial Arts had collapsed!

The Capital City was bustling.

Emperor Qi and his ministers were all waiting for the outcome of the great battle.

Finally, the two figures returned.

They went straight back to their residence in the imperial palace.

Emperor Qi was overjoyed, “Quick, prepare grand gifts, we must thank the master!”

He shot a provocative glance at Guo Rongshan, as if to say: just you wait and see!

Guo Rongshan’s heart sank.

When Emperor Qi left, the ministers scattered like they were avoiding the plague, staying far away from Guo Rongshan and his son, loudly proclaiming the Emperor’s wisdom and martial prowess as they hurriedly followed behind him.

“Father!”

Guo Yunkai looked worried.

“Yan’er is back!”

Guo Rongshan suddenly spoke out, visibly relaxing.

Xu Yan arrived, flying over.

“Yan’er, I’m relieved you’re alright. What’s the result?”

Guo Rongshan asked with a sigh of relief.

“Grandfather, don’t worry. The practice Xie Lingfeng and the others have been following is just a false Martial Arts, nothing to worry about. He has already recognized his deficiencies!”

Xu Yan said with a smile.

Guo Rongshan, shocked, looked back towards the palace and narrowed his eyes slightly.

“Yunkai, issue the order, we will hold a grand court meeting tomorrow!”

“Yes, Father!”

Guo Yunkai was also overjoyed.

Xu Yan had won!

At the imperial annex, in the residence of Xie Lingfeng and Hu Shan, the two men sat on stone benches staring blankly at each other after their return, both feeling somewhat numb.

Xu Yan’s discussion on Martial Arts had dealt them a huge blow; their beliefs in Martial Arts had crumbled, and they began to doubt their lives.

Especially Xie Lingfeng, who couldn’t stop recalling what Xu Yan had said about Martial Arts; the more he thought, the more unfathomable it seemed, it just didn’t feel real. He thought so hard his head felt like it was burning, yet he couldn’t understand how such a mysterious Martial Arts could be practiced.

“Master, the master, did you bring back Xu Yan’s head?”

Emperor Qi came running over excitedly.

Behind him followed the Eldest Prince.

As for the Third Prince, he had been neglected.

“Master?”

Emperor Qi asked with a puzzled look on his face. Why did it feel like the two masters were not quite right?

They had no reaction despite him standing right before them.

“Master? You two masters?”

He reached out and waved his hand in front of Xie Lingfeng’s eyes.

“Get lost!”

The master finally reacted, but it was only to grab Emperor Qi by the collar and toss him out.

The Eldest Prince’s face turned pale, he swallowed hard, and scurried off, only to find outside the annex that the Emperor was standing up with a livid face.

“Father Emperor!”

He hurriedly went forward to support him.

Emperor Qi, with an angered face, snapped, “The person you brought…”

“Shh!”

The Eldest Prince turned white with fear, quickly raised his finger, and motioned for Emperor Qi to be silent.

Emperor Qi hastily closed his mouth, and with the eunuch’s help, he left with a darkened expression on his face.

“Your Majesty, the Grand Chancellor will hold a grand court meeting tomorrow!”

A eunuch rushed in to report.

Emperor Qi, enraged, started, “That Guo…”

“Your Majesty, Xu Yan has returned!”

The eunuch hurriedly interrupted.

Emperor Qi held his words back, his face turning red, and he gritted his teeth, “Issue an imperial decree to the ministers, grand court meeting tomorrow!”

It was truly humiliating!

Inside, Emperor Qi felt an overwhelming frustration. Seeing the Eldest Prince beside him, he took a deep breath and kicked him to the ground.

“You wretch, where did you find such ‘masters’? They have enraged me to death!”

After kicking him several times and releasing some of his anger, he strode away.
