Just as everyone was speculating endlessly.
Whoosh!
Two streaks of light suddenly appeared from the distant horizon and instantly landed before the sword-shaped tower.
One of them, dressed in red armor, was the beautiful woman from the Law Enforcement Hall who had captured a wanted criminal in Demon Sword City.
Beside her stood a delicate young man, wearing a bamboo hat, with his face covered by a light veil. His skin was frighteningly fair, and his expression was gentle, but he emitted a heart-pounding aura that made many martial artists present dare not look directly at him.
“Yan Shijiu greets you, my lord.”
Yan Shijiu hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to the beautiful woman. Although this beautiful woman was only a peak Martial King of the late seventh stage, she was a member of the Law Enforcement Hall.
The Law Enforcement Hall, known throughout the Tianwu Continent, even Yan Shijiu, the Sect Master of Demon Sword Sect and a Martial Emperor of the eighth stage, did not dare to act rashly in front of a Martial King member of the Law Enforcement Hall.
The woman in red lightly waved her hand, not even glancing at Yan Shijiu, and said to the delicate young man, “Young Master Ji, this is the Demon Sword inheritance of Demon Sword City.”
Her tone was gentle, and she was quite courteous towards the delicate young man.
Yan Shijiu was suddenly taken aback. Who exactly was this delicate young man to earn such treatment from a member of the Law Enforcement Hall?
He was all too clear about the temperament of the Law Enforcement Hall members; having been here for over a month, he had never seen her be so cordial, yet she was so respectful in front of this delicate young man?
He quickly raised his head to look, and upon seeing the young man, his shock deepened. The young man exuded an extremely feminine aura, with a graceful figure that radiated a soft charm. If the woman in red hadn't addressed him as 'young master,' Yan Shijiu would have even thought he was a woman.
What astounded him even more was that this delicate young man looked to be only around twenty years old, yet his cultivation had already reached the late seventh stage of Martial King.
“Hiss!”
Unable to suppress a gasp, a twenty-year-old late seventh stage Martial King, who on earth was this person?
When did such a genius appear in the Northern Sky Region?
No, while there were indeed young late seventh stage Martial Kings in the Northern Sky Region, the vast majority were over twenty-five years old. It was almost unheard of to have someone under twenty-five to this caliber.
Could it be that this person...
Yan Shijiu's heart roared. Besides the Martial Domain, he could hardly imagine any other place capable of nurturing such a terrifying genius.
Thus, the attitude of the woman in red could also be explained.
“The Demon Sword inheritance?” The delicate young man smiled softly, his laugh incredibly gentle. He then looked at Yan Shijiu and chuckled, “This should be the master of the force controlling the Demon Sword inheritance, right?”
Yan Shijiu quickly clasped his hands together in salute, “I am undeserving of such a title. I am Yan Shijiu, the Sect Master of the Demon Sword Sect in the Northern Sky Region, and I greet Young Master Ji.”
“There's no need to be too polite, Sect Master Yan. I, Ji, have traveled a long way precisely because I heard the Northern Sky Region has a Demon Sword inheritance that is quite extraordinary. Coincidentally, it is the time when the Demon Sword inheritance is open, so I wish to take a look. May I ask if Sect Master Yan would agree?” Young Master Ji smiled.
“Where would Young Master Ji say such things? The Demon Sword inheritance of our Demon Sword Sect has always been open to all martial artists. Moreover, Young Master Ji has ties with the Law Enforcement Hall, so please feel free to enter.”
“Since that's the case, then I thank Sect Master Yan.”
Young Master Ji gave a faint smile to the woman in red, then in a flash, he entered the realm of sword intent.
