Not long after, this swordsman arrived at a place filled with intense sword intent. Here, seven or eight martial artists had gathered together, resisting the overwhelming sword intent coming from all directions.
“Wu Jun, what are you doing here?”
Seeing the swordsman approach, one of the men in black suddenly opened his eyes and said coldly.
The swordsman immediately bowed and replied, “I came to find Lord Shui Leqing, there is an urgent matter to report.”
“Looking for Lord Shui Leqing?” The man's expression darkened, “Do you know how serious it is to disturb him now while he is trying to enter the fourth level?”
“Of course I know, but I truly have important matters to discuss,” the swordsman squinted.
The man in black looked at him deeply, “Follow me.”
Under his guidance, the swordsman was brought to the center of the seven or eight martial artists, where Shui Leqing and Yang Ling were sitting cross-legged. Around them, a strong sword intent formed a powerful barrier, resisting the invasion of the surrounding perfect sword intent.
“Did you come to find me for something?” Shui Leqing opened his eyes, and a sharp sword intent burst forth from them.
Having only entered the Sword Intent Tower for a few hours, Shui Leqing’s sword intent had significantly improved, giving off a more domineering and fierce sensation.
“Lord Shui Leqing, I just saw Qin Chen,” Wu Jun said.
Qin Chen?
Shui Leqing's gaze turned cold, and a chilling killing intent blossomed from his eyes.
“Where is that brat?” A cold voice suddenly sounded, it was Yang Ling. He opened his eyes, and the brilliance in his gaze surged like lightning.
“Right on this third level. This person just entered the third level and happened to pass by my training ground. I knew that Lord Shui Leqing and Lord Yang Ling would be interested in this child, so I came to report,” Wu Jun explained.
“You did well,” Shui Leqing narrowed his eyes and asked, “Who is around Qin Chen?”
“Only a cold woman who has been with him,” Wu Jun replied.
“Oh?”
Shui Leqing and Yang Ling exchanged glances, their eyes instantly lighting up, then frowned and asked, “Are you sure? Ye Wuming and that veiled woman are not with him?”
“I am sure.”
“Good, very good, excellent.” Shui Leqing's expression turned excited as he abruptly stood up, a cold killing intent suddenly erupting from his body.
This killing intent was tangible, instantly piercing into the bodies of every martial artist around, causing them to step back in unison.
Wu Jun's face revealed shock; what a fierce killing aura! The seed disciples of the Demon Sword Sect were indeed extraordinary.
However, he also wondered why Shui Leqing and the others could restrain themselves from taking action when Qin Chen killed Hua Jinge in front of the Sword Dao Stele.
He was not Shui Leqing’s subordinate, so he was unaware that Shui Leqing and Qin Chen had actually already clashed before.
“You are Wu Jun? From the Di Yuan Sect?”
“Yes, I am an inner disciple of the Di Yuan Sect.”
Wu Jun bowed respectfully. The Di Yuan Sect was also a royal-level force in the Northern Sky Domain, but it was not as powerful as the Demon Sword Sect. Moreover, he was just an inner disciple of the Di Yuan Sect and not one of the top core disciples, thus his posture was very low in front of Shui Leqing.
“You specifically came to tell me this news. What do you want?” Shui Leqing looked over.
“I wouldn’t dare, I merely admire Lord Shui Leqing and hope that Lord Shui Leqing can become the Son of the Demon Sword Sect in the future. This way, I will have glory on my face,” Wu Jun said.
“Haha, good!”
Shui Leqing laughed heartily and said, “You are good. Rest assured, as long as what you said is true, once I kill that Qin Chen, I will not treat you poorly. Moreover, from now on, you will be my friend Shui Leqing.”
“Thank you, Lord Shui Leqing.” Wu Jun was overjoyed; this was exactly what he wanted.
“Alright, you lead the way ahead. Remember, don’t make a sound, don’t alert anyone. That brat actually didn’t act together with Ye Wuming and the others. This is truly a rare opportunity; we must not let this chance slip by.”
