Yann Xi’s eyes flickered with surprise.
This Xu Nian brought her surprises ti and ti again.
Every ti she thought she had completely seen through Xu Nian’s hand, he would bring her another surprise.
It was as if the youth before her always had an inexhaustible supply of trump cards.
She could never fully see through him, shrouded as he was in mystery.
Xu Nian looked at Nangong Qing, who had collapsed on the ground, his gaze playful.
Little Xu Yu’s massive body landed behind Xu Nian.
A pair of sharp eagle eyes swept over everyone, making their hearts palpitate.
An intense unwillingness filled Nangong Qing’s face as he glared deathly at Xu Nian.
"If you have any tricks up your sleeve, just use them. If not, then I’m sorry, but it’s ti for you to be on your way," Xu Nian said with a slight smile, extending a finger.
A blade as thin as a cicada’s wing appeared out of nowhere, swirling around his fingertip.
Spiritual Energy in a green hue was added to the flying knife, and with the integration of Wind Force, it beca extraordinarily sharp.
Even from a great distance, the crowd felt their hearts palpitate at the knife’s piercing aura.
They were certain that if the flying knife were aid at them, they would have no chance of resisting.
Yann Xi’s pretty face was also filled with imnse surprise.
She had heard that Saints could control swords from afar, sending flying swords thousands of miles to behead people.
But she had always thought it was just a legend, yet now, seeing the flying knife controlled by Xu Nian, she believed it.
Because even she did not dare to claim she could survive under the edge of this knife.
"You... what do you want to do?" Nangong Qing swallowed hard, his face finally showing fear.
"I’m telling you I am the eldest young master of the Nangong Family, and my uncle is even the Law Enforcent Elder of the Artifact Refining Sect’s Law Enforcent Hall. If you kill , he will definitely not let you off," Nangong Qing threatened.
A trace of disdain flashed across the corner of Xu Nian’s mouth.
Nangong Qing had already attempted to kill him; keeping him alive would only bring trouble in the future. Discover stories at .Côm
If killing him would cause a lot of trouble, and not killing him would also lead to a lot of trouble, then why not kill him.
"Go!"
Xu Nian’s gaze sharpened, and with a flick of his finger,
the flying knife that swirled at his fingertip turned into a streak of green light, heading straight for Nangong Qing’s brow.
The flying knife was incredibly fast, as swift as lightning.
Nangong Qing could only watch as the tip of the blade grew larger before his eyes, unable to dodge since his body couldn’t keep up with the speed of the flying knife.
The surrounding crowd was also stunned; this youth actually dared to kill Nangong Qing.
"Buzz!"
However, just when everyone thought Nangong Qing’s head was about to be pierced through, the flying knife stopped abruptly, a re inch away from his forehead.
Xu Nian suddenly startled, raising his head to look straight ahead.
At that mont, a middle-aged man had appeared beside Nangong Qing, seemingly out of nowhere.
A warm smile hung on his face like a gentle spring breeze.
The man was dressed in simple green clothes, his presence plain and unadorned.
Standing there, he seed no different from an ordinary person.
But Xu Nian was on high alert.
Saint!
Only a Saint who could perfectly conceal his aura to the point of Returning Truth could stand before him like this.
The faces of the surrounding people also showed extre surprise at the appearance of this man in green.
The man in green clothes didn’t pay attention to the astonished gazes of those around him, but instead looked towards the flying dagger that was suspended above the forehead of Nangong Qing and reached out two fingers to take the dagger.
Xu Nian was montarily taken aback, he discovered that the mont the man in green clothes’ fingers touched the flying dagger, he lost control over it.
"How interesting, did you craft this flying dagger?" the man in green clothes asked with a smile as he looked towards Xu Nian.
Although the man in green clothes now looked middle-aged, one could still tell that he was a handso man in his youth.
Even now, he still radiated a certain heroic spirit.
"Replying to my senior, yes," Xu Nian nodded and answered, though his eyes carried a hint of caution.
"Hehe, not bad. To forge such a small weapon to be this thin without compromising its sturdiness, your mastery in artifact refining is not low," the man in green clothes comnted with a chuckle.
"Thank you for the complint, senior," Xu Nian replied, but the wariness in his heart did not lessen in the slightest.
As for the four flying daggers, they were all ticulously polished by him, compressed out of Xuan Iron. They seed very thin, but their weight was considerable.
If one were to discuss the grade, they had already surpassed the average Nine-star Xuan Iron Level High Grade Weapon.
"Kid, there’s no need for such caution. I won’t harm you. If you don’t believe , just ask the girl beside you," the man in green clothes said with another warm smile as he noticed Xu Nian was still on his guard.
Xu Nian turned his head to look at Yann Xi beside him.
"He is our Sect Master," Yann Xi answered.
Startled by her words, Xu Nian then noticed that the disciples around them looked at the man in green with eyes filled with reverence.
This is the Artifact Refining Sect Master?
Xu Nian hadn’t expected that this middle-aged man was actually the Artifact Refining Sect Master.
But thinking about it, it made sense; there were only three Saints in the entire Artifact Refining Sect.
With this man being so young, who else could he be but the Artifact Refining Sect Master?
"You are called Xu Nian, right? Could you possibly spare him this ti for my sake? I can assure you that he absolutely will not seek revenge against you," laughed the Artifact Refining Sect Master.
Xu Nian nodded and asked, "You know ?"
The Artifact Refining Sect Master waved his hand, signaling Nangong Qing and the others to leave.
Though reluctant, Nangong Qing did not dare disobey the Artifact Refining Sect Master’s orders; he could only leave dejectedly.
The surrounding disciples who had been watching also dispersed one after another.
In a short ti, the plaza was left with only Xu Nian, Yann Xi, and the Artifact Refining Sect Master.
"I not only know your na, I also know your origins, as well as all of your past experiences, and even your purpose for coming to the Artifact Refining Sect is crystal clear to ," the Artifact Refining Sect Master said with a smile.
Xu Nian was slightly surprised, but he wasn’t too shocked.
After all, the Artifact Refining Sect was the foremost among the Three Great Sects, so it naturally wouldn’t be lacking in its grasp on intelligence.
"Could senior perhaps..."
Xu Nian was just about to make a request to the Artifact Refining Sect Master but was interrupted.
"The rules of the Artifact Refining Sect cannot be broken. Even as the Artifact Refining Sect Master, I do not have the authority to lend you the Heavenly Gang Pearl. As for accompanying you on a journey, I apologize; I have sworn an oath to the previous Sect Master that as long as I am the Sect Master, I will never step half a foot out of the sect," said the Artifact Refining Sect Master.
Xu Nian’s brow furrowed imdiately—things were not as simple as he had hoped.
"However, I do hope that you can beco the new Sect Master of the Artifact Refining Sect. That way, I can break free from this oath and wander the world," the Artifact Refining Sect Master said with a smile.
"Eh?" His face showed surprise, followed by a surge of excitent in his heart.
It seed that the Artifact Refining Sect Master wasn’t really interested in being the Sect Master; he had just been compelled to take on the role.
"But becoming the Sect Master isn’t an easy task, is it?" Xu Nian asked, looking towards the Artifact Refining Sect Master.
The Artifact Refining Sect Master smiled and said, "That’s right. I have been in position for twenty years, and in these two decades, I’ve seen many outstanding disciples, but in the end, all of them failed and not a single one t the requirents to beco Sect Master."
"What requirents?" Xu Nian inquired further.
"Climbing the Sky-reaching Tower," the Artifact Refining Sect Master said with a smile.
"The Sky-reaching Tower?" Xu Nian looked puzzled.
However, Yann Xi beside him had a dramatic change in her expression.
