Facing Si Lanyue's inquiry, Zhou Yu did not hide it.
"Zhou Yu!"
Upon hearing this name, Si Lanyue's face was suddenly startled.
"Are you the Martial Pavilion Minister of Hu City, Zhou Yu?"
Unexpectedly, Si Lanyue had heard of him before, and Zhou Yu shrugged.
"That was in the past."
"Now, there is no Martial Pavilion anymore."
Si Lanyue's face froze.
"What do you mean?"
Zhou Yu looked speechless.
"Don't you know?"
"The Martial Pavilion has been abolished. Now, there's only the Martial Alliance."
"What???" Upon hearing this, Si Lanyue was shocked.
It was clear this wasn't feigned.
Zhou Yu was puzzled and asked:
"Do you really not know?"
Si Lanyue shook her head.
"These past two days, I've been chased by them, spending most of my time running for my life."
So that's how it is.
Zhou Yu nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Si Lanyue and said:
"If I'm not mistaken, your master should be the Snowflake Sword God."
Si Lanyue's face changed.
"How do you know?"
Zhou Yu shrugged.
"That Cold Ice Sword Technique you just used, I think there's no second person in all of Hang City who can do it."
"Apart from the Snowflake Sword God, I can't think of anyone else who could teach such an outstanding disciple as you."
"However, there is one thing I'm not quite clear about."
"What is it?" Si Lanyue, seeing that Zhou Yu had seen through her, decided not to hide it anymore.
Zhou Yu looked at Si Lanyue and said:
"Why do the people of the Divine Sword Sect want to hunt you down?"
"What is your relationship with the Divine Sword Sect?"
Unable to get information about the Divine Sword Sect from the middle-aged man, Zhou Yu naturally wanted to try asking Si Lanyue.
Facing Zhou Yu's inquiry, Si Lanyue fell silent.
"If you don't want to say, I won't force you." Zhou Yu said, standing up, ready to leave.
Si Lanyue suddenly looked up and said:
"There's actually nothing I can't say."
"It's not a secret anyway."
"Since you know about the Divine Sword Sect, you should also know it's a Hidden Sect, right?"
Zhou Yu nodded.
"I know."
"The Divine Sword Sect is a sect in the Hidden Sects focused on the sword. The Sword Dao is originally a very powerful path within the Martial Arts, and therefore, the Divine Sword Sect's strength is among the top ranks within the Hidden Sects."
"To maintain their dominant status, the Divine Sword Sect began to use extreme methods to recruit Sword Dao talents. They passed on their Sword Dao through stringent training."
"A hundred years ago, the Divine Sword Sect discovered a girl with immense talent in Sword Dao."
"Regardless of consequences, they forcibly took her to the Divine Sword Sect and compelled her to study the Sword Dao."
"This girl, though young, was very mature in mind. She didn't want to enter the Divine Sword Sect to learn the Sword Dao, so the Divine Sword Sect killed her entire family to force her."
"Then they used various means, even resorting to secret techniques, to bewilder her mind and force her to learn the Sword Dao."
"The girl was powerless to resist and had to submit to their whims."
"But she always retained a sliver of clarity in her heart."
"Thus, at the age of thirty-five, the girl stepped into the King Realm, and upon entering the King Realm, she already comprehended the Sword Force to the extreme. With her First Grade King Realm strength, she could even rival the First Grade Emperor Realm."
"This talent made the Divine Sword Sect even more frenzied."
"Because they foresaw that if this girl could enter the Emperor Realm, with her talent and comprehension of the Sword Dao, she could undoubtedly challenge the last five of the Ten Great Divine Kings."
"If she could prove her path to the Ancestor Realm, she would become invincible in the world. At that point, the Divine Sword Sect would also dominate the entire Dragon Country."
Faced with this extreme temptation, the Divine Sword Sect became even more relentless.
However, they didn't expect that the girl kept her clarity, always remembering their bloody methods.
When the girl was seventy, she successfully entered the King Realm Summit and also comprehended the Sword Domain.
Afterward, she killed the murderer of her family at that time, who was a sacrificial official of the Divine Sword Sect, and then she broke out of the Divine Sword Sect and entered the secular world.
But how could the Divine Sword Sect let her escape their control easily?
So they continuously sent experts to try and capture her.
But within a decade or so,
The Divine Sword Sect lost three Emperor Realm experts in succession but failed to achieve their goal.
The Divine Sword Sect was very angry about this.
Therefore, they used a Forbidden Technique within the sect to block her path to the Emperor Realm.
Unless someday she returns to the Divine Sword Sect and breaks the Forbidden Technique herself, she will never enter the Emperor Realm in her lifetime.
Upon hearing these words, Zhou Yu was also moved.
He spoke:
"This girl you speak of, she is your master, the Snowflake Sword God, right?"
Si Lanyue, with reddened eyes, nodded.
"That's right."
Zhou Yu, puzzled, asked:
"You just said that the Divine Sword Sect later sent Emperor Realm experts to hunt down your master. Logically, they should have a very clear understanding of your master's strength, and those sent should be of a strength certainly higher than your master. How could they keep failing then?"
Zhou Yu did not doubt Si Lanyue's words, but this point left him very perplexed.
Si Lanyue was silent for a moment and then said:
"My master, during her escape, met someone who became the most important person in her life."
"That person helped her."
Zhou Yu was taken aback.
"Who is that person?"
Si Lanyue shook her head.
"I don't know either, I just heard my master mention that he is called 'Yan God'."
"Yan God?"
Zhou Yu's heart was shaken.
Isn't this that super genius from three hundred years ago?
Unexpectedly, this person and the Snowflake Sword God have such a close relationship.
This truly surprised him.
Si Lanyue continued.
"Later, the Divine Sword Sect could not bear the consequences of continuously losing Emperor Realm experts, so they changed tactics and tried to capture me to force my master to give in."
"As for the things that happened afterward, you already know."
"If it weren't for you, their plan might really have succeeded."
"Zhou Yu, thank you."
Si Lanyue spoke with full sincerity, stood up, and bowed.
Zhou Yu waved his hand.
"No need to be polite."
"I just did it on a whim."
"Coincidentally, you also helped me learn a lot about the Divine Sword Sect."
"We can consider it as a mutual benefit."
"Next, we're preparing to head back, farewell!"
Zhou Yu stood up to say goodbye, ready to leave.
Seeing this, Si Lanyue quickly said:
"Wait a minute!"
