Chapter 30: My House Is Quite Big

The amount of information that the simple word “also” could convey was shocking enough.

Even Sixth Elder Liu Chuanyuan’s pupils constricted and his breathing caught for a moment.

Originally, he had wanted to gain the upper hand by intercepting the young man on his way. Even powerful experts would feel as if they were in a disadvantaged position when caught in such a position, let alone a young man like Feng Xia.

In a battle between divine beings, one step could make the difference!

He would not have imagined that a simple sentence from Feng Xia would not only spoil his plan, but also reversed the situation and suppressed his aura instead!

“I see.”

After confirming this discovery, Feng Xia felt relieved.

First Elder Lei Shao and Sixth Elder Liu Chuanyuan did not get along well. It was something that everyone in the Thousand Autumn Valley knew about. Even though he had only been here for a few days, he had already heard some insider news from Bai Canghai.

“It’s said that the First Elder and the Sixth Elder were once extremely close friends when they were younger. Cultivators of their generation call them the Thousand Autumn Valley Dual Heroes. They are thought to be the two most promising disciples who could lead the Thousand Autumn Valley to prosperity.”

“But later, something seemed to happen that caused a rift between the two of them. And as time passed, the rift didn’t get repaired, but just kept getting bigger and bigger…”

When he brought up this topic, Bai Canghai’s expression was a little strange. He imitated his master’s tone and looked at the sky as he spoke sadly.

“It’s a matter of being trapped by love.”

—At that time, Feng Xia immediately imagined a love trilogy drama series with at least 80 episodes…

“I suspected it more than once when I heard about your past.”

Facing the handsome middle-aged man’s gaze, Feng Xia still smiled calmly. “Elder Lei is so strong and Sixth Elder has fought with him for so many years. How can you not have any ability?”

With Lei Shao’s temper, if the Sixth Elder was really a good-for-nothing, he would have been beaten to death a long time ago.

Even if he did not get killed, Lei Shao might even feel happy—because then Lei Shao could beat him up a few more times…

Now that he realized Liu Chuanyuan had mastered the Sword-Heart Integration, Feng Xia heaved a sigh of relief.

At the very least, this proved that the Sixth Elder was the resourceful mastermind, and that there was no one else behind him trying to interfere with everything in the Thousand Autumn Valley through an elder.

Of course… Feng Xia could not be sure yet.

In this case, however, the situation in the Thousand Autumn Valley had become even more interesting.

The two experts who had both cultivated the Sword-Heart Integration were at odds with each other. At this moment, the sect seemed calm but, in fact, it was already caught in a storm and could collapse at any time!

If he could see through the Sixth Elder’s Sword-Heart Integration, how could First Elder Lei Shao not see it?

“In that case, the reason for the two of them fighting each other to the death… is a little more intriguing.” Feng Xia’s eyebrows twitched and his lips curled up involuntarily.

As expected, none of these sly old foxes were simple!

“You can tell that I’ve cultivated the Sword-Heart Integration just based on this?”

At the same time, Liu Chuanyuan had already regained his composure. With a faint smile on his face, he chuckled and said, “Then your judgment is a little too rash.”

His eyes blazed as he locked them on Feng Xia without moving.

For a moment, the air seemed to have completely frozen, turning into a heavy mountain that could crush Feng Xia’s back!

Rustle rustle—

The wind blew past Mount Canglan. The trees swayed and made tiny rustling sounds.

The sun was rising, casting its light through the trees, stretching the shadow of the Sixth Elder like an indefinable dark shadow across the horizon, shrouding the world in front of Feng Xia.

“I naturally have my own reasons for my judgments.”

At this moment, Feng Xia suddenly laughed and broke the silence.

Liu Chuanyuan’s pupils constricted again. He could clearly see that as this young man spoke, a sharp light appeared in his eyes. It was transparent and indomitable!

Swish, swish, swish—

It was a shapeless light shuttling through the endless darkness!

In the next moment, everything went back to normal. The sun was still shining and the trees were swaying. However, the shocking pressure was gone.

“Because I’ve also mastered the Sword-Heart Integration.”

Feng Xia smiled.

At this point, for no apparent reason, a phrase came to his mind—

Anyone who could cultivate the Sword-Heart Integration was not a bad person.

Liu Chuanyuan’s expression finally changed drastically and he could no longer maintain his composure. His whole body shook violently. Even though he had also cultivated the Sword-Heart Integration, his mind was in chaos at this moment and it almost caused the vital energy in his entire body to go berserk!

“You actually mastered the Sword-Heart Integration?!”

“Well, about this…”

Feng Xia hesitated for a moment before deciding to tell the truth to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings. “Actually, my Sword-Heart Integration isn’t cultivated. I’ve never even touched a sword before.”

Liu Chuanyuan’s expression froze.

Feng Xia continued, “I cultivated the Sword-Heart Integration all of a sudden.”

Liu Chuanyuan continued, “???”

Why did he understand every individual word the kid said, but he had no idea what it meant when the words were strung together?

He had never practiced with the sword, nor even touched it, yet he could suddenly master the Sword-Heart Integration…

Was this young Mr. Feng so stupid that he could not even make up a proper excuse, or did he think that he could fool an old man?

“Nonsense!”

After a while, the Sixth Elder’s expression suddenly darkened and he shouted coldly, “As a swordsman, you have to be worthy of your Sword-Heart. The Sword-Heart reflects the heart, and the first thing it reflects is your own heart! Those who violate the Sword-Heart will eventually die from the sword energy devouring their bodies!”

Feng Xia could not help but feel helpless. “I really… have never practiced the sword.”

As luck would have it…

So far, the disciples of the Thousand Autumn Valley that he had beaten up had either not dropped anything or dropped attribute light balls that had nothing to do with sword techniques. As a result, even though he had been in the Thousand Autumn Valley for a few days already, he had not learned a single sword technique.

—The only thing related to swords might be the “Sword-Heart” that Lei Shai had dropped.

“Ridiculous!”

Sixth Elder Liu Chuanyuan shouted again. Suddenly, he thought of something and his expression softened slightly. He reverted to being expressionless. “However, I’m not here to talk to you about this today.”

He pointed to an old-fashioned pavilion in the distance and spoke calmly.

“My residence is much larger than Barbarian Lei’s. Are you willing to come to the Moon Pavilion for a chat with me?”
