Upon entering, Ling Hanxue did not announce who was there to see Chu Yang, signifying her respect for him: there was no need to impose seniority.
Chu Yang felt somewhat moved; for this token of respect, it was already a rare attitude from the Ling Family, especially considering that the matter of his immense power increase was still a top secret. Based on his previous strength, he certainly wouldn't have been at the peak of the contemporary world, and yet the Ling Family could give him this respect at this moment.
Just as Chu Yang's voice fell, the elderly man standing outside with his hands clasped behind him smiled lightly, his voice cold and sharp like the extreme northern wind, slowly speaking: “Ling Family, Ling Mu Yang; I greet the current Nine Calamity Sword Master!”
Huang Xialiu and all the experts of the Huang Family felt as if they had been struck by a bolt of thunder, their heads spinning, hardly daring to believe their ears.
The Ling Family, Ling Mu Yang!
He actually came in person?!
What does this name represent?! It could send shivers down one’s spine and shatter one’s soul!
This name belonged to one of the founders of the nine great clans. It was the name of the Ling Family's ancestor!
The previous generation's child of nine calamity!
Ling Mu Yang learned swordsmanship at three, killed at five, and by seven was already battling the throne without falling behind. He was known for his enmity towards evil, traversing the martial arts world, slaughtering all in his path, causing the entire martial arts world to tremble in fear.
Among the nine great ancestors, the one with the most murderous intent was indeed this Ling Mu Yang.
Yet, in the entire martial arts world, he was also the one most respected.
Ling Mu Yang never harmed the innocent.
He eradicated all injustices in the world and killed all who deserved to be killed!
This was always Ling Mu Yang’s motto. It was his code of conduct in the martial arts world.
Chu Yang raised his head, staring intently.
Outside, amidst the endless ice and snow, two sharp gazes appeared almost as tangible, directly meeting Chu Yang’s two eyes.
Two people. Four gazes met and connected in mid-air.
At this moment, even Ling Hanxue, who was standing aside, clearly felt that the air between them was filled with sword intent! It was as if four peerless precious swords had violently collided.
Just a gaze meeting, yet the faint sword qi shrieked and flowed, actually shredding the surrounding air into pieces.
It was as if their gazes were swords. The sword light tore through the void, its might truly astonishing and frightening!
An elder and a younger generation of supreme experts, without exchanging a single word, were already facing each other with swords drawn. A great conflict was imminent!
Was a great battle about to begin?!
Everyone suddenly felt a pressure as heavy as a mountain surge into their hearts.
In an instant, there was a sound, and the sword qi in the air erupted. Everyone felt as if a meteor fell from the sky, vanishing into thin air.
Chu Yang withdrew his gaze, observing his nose, his nose observing his heart. He remained motionless. Ling Mu Yang also retracted his gaze at the same time, gently closing his eyes, then opening them again, looking deeply at Chu Yang. His voice was serious and heavy, saying, “The Nine Calamity Sword Master truly lives up to his reputation. If this old man’s eyes are not deceiving me, Chu Sword Master is indeed the supreme of swords. Moreover, he has already reached the ninth rank! Such an achievement is not only astonishing, but also beyond comprehension!”
Ling Mu Yang’s voice carried a flavor akin to ‘dread.’ It was not surprising to be the supreme of swords, and the ninth rank was no big deal, but the issue lay in Chu Yang’s age.
So young and with such achievements, Ling Mu Yang had never seen anything like it. He hadn’t even thought about it. After all, Ling Mu Yang was over ten thousand years old, only slightly more advanced than the twenty-something Chu Yang.
