The Sword Master Pursues Me Relentlessly - 1

The four seasons in Hailuzhou were always springtime. Regardless of the time, a breeze always brought cool wind.

However, today the Yingque Secret Realm was going to be opened, and many cultivators came. This made Hailuzhou a bit more crowded and warm.

Duan Yunshui was wearing a light violet garment, with a gold ornament in his hair with shiny violet beads, which made him stand out from the crowd. Not to mention, his autumn-like affectionate peach blossom eyes, unpainted red lips, and enchanting face, coupled with his eye-catching clothes made him stand out even more. It was difficult for cultivators not to notice such a beauty. 

“Fellow Daoist dressed in wealthy clothes, you are the young master from which family?” A female cultivator in white came over with a sword. She sized him up from head to toe and inquired with a smile. 

“No..no.” Duan Yunshui stepped back, shrunk his neck, and his ears reddened.

“To be this shy, he must’ve never stepped out of the house.” The white-clothed female cultivator turned around and laughed with another black-clothed female cultivator who appeared serious.

“Okay, let’s go now. The cultivator he’s traveling with should be here soon. After all, who would travel alone in such luxurious clothes.” The black-clothes female cultivator gazed at her with a gentler look and took her hand. She then nodded to Duan Yunshui apologetically and then turned and left.

Duan Yunshui breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the two people walk away. This was already the fourth group of people who had approached him. If some more people came up to him a few more times, and one had a cunning eye, then it would not be hard to discover his identity.

Hailuzhou is the territory of the Immortal Sect. Today, when the Yingque Secret Realm opens, all those who came were from the Immortal Sect. If they found out that Duan Yunshui was a member of the Demon Sect, they would not let him escape in one piece.

Duan Yunshui got scared just thinking about it and went to a corner, trying to reduce his presence. At the same time, the cultivators, who were just looking at Duan Yunshui every now and then looked away and exclaimed. 

Duan Yunshui, who was always curious since childhood, took a peek at the commotion. He saw a handsome white-haired man putting his sword away. The spring breeze blew his hair, letting people clearly see his light gray eyes and the cold and sharpness inside them.

The man turned his head and scanned the crowd in front of him, with his eyes lingering on Duan Yunshui. Duan Yunshui didn’t think much about it thinking it was an illusion. What he cared more about was the silver sword mark that appeared on the man’s forehead…It was really beautiful.

–

Duan Yunshui looked at it a few more times, and seeing that the crowd was pushing forward, he took a few steps back and distanced himself from the others.

A male cultivator beside him saw him retreating, looked at him twice, and asked: “Fellow Daoist, that’s the Sword Master! Why don’t you go forward and take a look?”

Ah?

Why is the Sword Master…

Duan Yunshui took another step back, wondering what on earth was in this Yingque Secret Realm that even th Sword Master Jian Yu came!

He was a member of the Demon Sect. Although he used some techniques to hide his aura, he was not well-trained, and his identity could be easily discovered if he was not careful.

He was already terrified, and now he ran into the Sword Master. Wouldn’t his identity be discovered on the spot?

It’d be better to stay away.

The more Duan Yunshui thought about it, the more scared he became. He trotted to the corner, turned around to take another look, and found that Jian Yu looked at him coldly.

His eyebrows and eyes were a bit sharp, and there seemed to be a cold sword intent around him. This made Jian Yu look more aggressive.

How could he think Jian Zun was good-looking just now when he was so fierce!

Duan Yunshui was muttering in his heart, and he shrank back to the corner, fearing that Jian Yu would see through his identity.

Jian Yu coldly glanced at everyone present, said nothing, and just found a secluded corner and walked away.

Obviously, he didn’t want to pay attention to these people. As expected, he was the head of the Sword Sect, as cold as their sect’s mountain.

Duan Yunshui’s eyes fell on Jian Yu from time to time. While thinking about it, he heard a loud noise coming from the entrance of the Yingque Secret Realm.

The restrictions on the barrier loosened, and after a loud bang, the translucent barrier with colorful light slowly opened to both sides.

Duan Yunshui was sitting on a big rock. Hearing movements, with his head down, he hurriedly squeezed forward through the crowd.

The barrier finally opened!

As long as he finds the Yingque Heart in the Yingque Secret Realm, he can suppress the backlash of the magic power at the age of eighteen!

Duan Yunshui was born in the Demon Sect and practiced the Nanshan technique, called Ziteng.

What exactly is Ziteng? Let’s put it this way, it’s exactly the same as the Hehuan Sect technique in the storybook, which relies on dual cultivation to improve cultivation.

But there are some differences. At 18, Ziteng is no different from ordinary martial arts; you don’t need to practice dual cultivation. Even if you practice dual cultivation, your cultivation will not increase.

As for after the age of 18…it’s inappropriate.

After the age of 18, Zi Teng will bring backlash.

If you practice dual cultivation, your cultivation will typically increase in the future or even by leaps and bounds.

But if you don’t practice dual cultivation… you may not even survive the first wave of backlash and directly die!

As for how often this backlash will come, Duan Yunshui specifically asked Elder Nanshan.

Elder Nanshan fiddled with his nails painted in green nail polish, smiled gently, and told him…

I don’t know.

At that time, Duan Yunshui was shocked, but Elder Nanshan curved his eyes and lightly tapped his shoulder.

“There is another way. If you find the Heart of Yingque, you can practice peacefully from then on without being disturbed by the backlash.”

“But this Heart of Yingque… is not easy to find.”

After saying this and telling him that the Heart of Yingque is in the Yingque Secret Realm, Elder Nanshan turned and left.

Duan Yunshui was left standing there, thinking for a long time about how likely he was to find the Heart of Yingque.

–

The surroundings were filled with fog, and he didn’t know where he was.

Before Duan Yunshui came, he had considered looking for a Yingque Secret Realm map. However, after asking around, he found that the Yingque Secret Realm was different every time.

No one knew what it looked like inside. What was certain was that the Heart of Yingque was inside.

Thinking of this, Duan Yunshui sighed again, thinking that if he continued to search like a headless fly, he didn’t know if he could find it until the day the secret realm was closed!

He couldn’t help but feel inexplicably irritated as he thought more about it. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and frowned.

Duan Yunshui muttered, “Why is it a little hot…”

It’s really strange that such a place with mist can still be hot.

Duan Yunshui’s heart felt faintly uneasy. He took out the pills to quickly suppress the riot of spiritual power and took two red medicine pills. Only then did he suppress the inexplicable restlessness.

Duan Yunshui walked forward after the discomfort eased.

This is a secret forest. The air is fog-filled, and people can only vaguely see the road ahead.

Duan Yunshui thought there should be many ferocious beasts in the secret realm, and he was afraid that other cultivators would kill him, so he became more vigilant.

Step by step, he walked very carefully.

But for some reason, the scene around him seemed to have never changed.

At first, Duan Yunshui thought it was just because they were all trees, and he couldn’t tell them apart.

But when he scratched the tree and saw the traces he left again, he was stunned.

This…

Has he been going in circles?

Duan Yunshui’s fingertips started sweating, and he looked around, looking for another way, and ran through quickly.

As he ran, he felt the heat rising slowly from his lower abdomen, sweeping over his whole body.

No one had ever told him what Ziteng looked like when it backfired.

So when he started to feel hot, Duan Yunshui thought it was because he was running.

But when his vision began to blur, his forehead sweated more and more, and his breathing changed when he ran; he realized that what he was enduring was the backlash of Ziteng!

After figuring it out, Duan Yunshui’s face turned ugly. He cast a spell to see the surroundings and prayed in his heart that he would not return.

Fortunately, God was willing to help him. In front of him was not the place where he had stayed before, but next to a pond.

It can be seen that it is near the edge of the forest.

There was also a huge stone beside the pond with an unknown engraving. Duan Yunshui couldn’t see it clearly from a distance.

But him not seeing it had nothing to do with Duan Yunshui going there to rest.

His purpose was to find a place to rest and then leave this strange forest. He would then take a pill that temporarily suppressed the riot of spiritual power, to prevent the backlash from becoming more evident when the spiritual power surged.

If the backlash were completely triggered by then, it would be bad.

Duan Yunshui had no time to care about the fine sweat on his forehead. He just walked to the stone, sat down, poured a pill, and tilted his head back to swallow it.

For the first few times he swallowed this pill, it worked as soon as he swallowed it.

But now when Duan Yunshui swallowed the pill, it didn’t work at all.

Duan Yunshui frowned, thinking that there must be a problem with the dosage, and tilted his head back and swallowed two more pills.

It didn’t work. It also still didn’t work.

What should I do?

Duan Yunshui rationally suspected that the backlash had reached a point where it could not be suppressed, so the pill lost its effect.

He turned his head in distress and saw the words on the stone clearly.

“Love barrier???”

Duan Yunshui widened his eyes and immediately understood what was strange about this forest.

So the discomfort he felt after entering was because he got into the love barrier?

It’s over, it’s over, there’s no point staying here any longer.

Duan Yunshui was so anxious that he muttered in his heart, stood up, and ran.

But at this time, a hand stretched out from the other end of the stone, grabbed his wrist, and pulled him back.

“Who?!”

Duan Yunshui was so frightened that he was shaking. The backlash was triggered because he had been in the barrier of love for a long time. His legs became weak.

He was dragged over and hit the stone. He grimaced in pain.

But who knew that the backlash of Ziteng would be so strong!

This kind of pain did not allow him to escape from this chaotic scene.

Not only did he fail to escape, but he became even weaker.

His face, which was already a bit gorgeous, became even more attractive under the dual effects of Ziteng and the barrier of love.

But these were no longer the of priority for Duan Yunshui, who had fallen into the tiger’s mouth and felt ashamed.

He just wanted to know who this person was!

Duan Yunshui held his breath, turned around fiercely, and looked at him fiercely with his red peach blossom eyes.

This…

This person was Jian Yu!

Duan Yunshui initially thought about biting the person to escape.

But Jian Yu had obviously fallen for the love barrier, holding his wrist and refusing to let go.

Not only that, he was also rubbing his neck.

His fingers stayed on the bright red little mole, again and again, and it was hard not to think that Jian Yu wanted to rub this tender piece of white skin red.

As for what happened later, Duan Yunshui only had a vague memory but didn’t remember it very clearly.

He only remembered that when he opened his eyes again, he saw Jian Yu’s cold face, which scared him so much that he lost all of his drowsiness.

Duan Yunshui had never dressed so quickly before.

He hurriedly put on his clothes, not caring whether they were neat or not, and ran towards the exit.

As for his trembling legs, it was not that he had never done it.

It was just that Duan Yunshui’s thoughts of escaping were too strong, supporting him to the next place, and then his legs softened, and he tripped on the ground.

Jian Yu, who stayed in the original place, woke up when Duan Yunshui ran away.

A pair of light gray phoenix eyes stared at Zishan’s back until Duan Yunshui disappeared from his sight.

Jian Yu sat up. His face was very ugly.

Yet the trip to Yingque Secret Realm should not be influenced by this. He bent down and neatly picked up his clothes.

Clang——

But just as Jian Yu picked up his clothes, he heard a crisp sound.

He lowered his eyes and found a gold ornament inlaid with violet gemstones.

Was it left by the man last night?

Jian Yu frowned and thought secretly.

How vugular.
