The female cultivator shook her head, her eyes becoming increasingly sharp: “Impossible! The essence and spirit of this sword technique is clearly the Sword Sect’s ‘Flowing Cloud Sword Technique’.”
Even though you’ve only used a small part of the picture, I don’t have the slightest doubt. Who are you really? Are you a Sword Sect disciple?
David remained silent. He didn’t want to admit it, after all, the Sword Sect had been destroyed, and he was actually not an official disciple of the Sword Sect.
Seeing David remain silent, the female cultivator assumed that he had agreed tacitly and softened her tone: “My name is Ling Xue, and I am also a disciple of the Sword Sect. If you are really a member of the Sword Sect, then we are fellow disciples, and there is no need for us to fight.”
“I told you, I’m not a Sword Sect disciple.”
David frowned. “What do you actually want?”
“I wonder where you learned swordsmanship.”
Ling Xue looked at David closely. “The Sword Sect has been destroyed in the Third Heaven. Apart from us disciples who have risen, very few people still know the sword techniques of the Sword Sect.”
David understands; it seemed that Ling Xue was indeed a Sword Sect disciple who had ascended from the Third Heaven.
He thought for a moment and said, “I did learn some sword techniques in the ruins on the Third Heaven, but I didn’t know that it was the Sword Sect.”
A glimmer of sadness flashed across Ling Xue’s eyes: “So that’s how it is. Those ruins must be our Sword Sect’s mountain gate.”
“I never thought that even after our sect was destroyed, there would still be someone capable of learning our swordsmanship.”
He was silent for a moment, then looked at David and said, “Your swordsmanship talent is very high. Although your level is not high, your understanding of swordsmanship is very deep.”
Your sword strike just now, although seemingly simple, contained a profound and earthy beauty, a beauty that even I cannot match.
David was a bit surprised that Ling Xue would judge him like that.
“Since you have learned our Sword Sect’s sword techniques, you can be considered to have some connection with the Sword Sect.”
Ling Xue changed the topic, “It seems like you are not very familiar with Holy Sword City. Coincidentally, I am going to meet an elder who is also from the Sword Sect and is the person in charge of Holy Sword City. Would you like to come with me?”
“Good.”
David nodded in agreement, “We have just arrived in the Holy Sword City and want to ask about the situation here.”
Hu Mazi, who was listening from the side, was completely confused. Seeing that David had agreed, he said no more and followed the two of them.
While walking on the streets of Divine Sword City, David glanced at Ling Xue beside him and asked, “You just said that the male cultivator you rival in sword intent is called Qin Feng, and he is from the Divine Sword Palace? Is there some kind of grudge between the two of you?”
