This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 521 - 32 Gui Yuan True Venerable_3

Chapter 521: Chapter 32 Gui Yuan True Venerable_3

In the cities of Great Xia, of course, there wouldn’t be a Teleportation Array that leads directly to the Sword Sect.

Such a matter of handing over control, all Sects would not agree.

After Lu Qingshan exited the Teleportation Array, he immediately left the city behind him.

The last stretch of the journey had to rely on his own Sword Control to fly back.

Unbeknownst to him, there was already someone following him, also departing the city.

It was Gui Yuan True Venerable.

...

To initiate an attack within the city would have been conspicuous and unpredictable and, unless necessary, he wouldn’t act so recklessly.

The best method would be to tail Lu Qingshan after leaving the city, strike in a desolate area, kill him, and then immediately escape thousands of miles away.

As the saying goes, “Kill a man within ten steps, and travel a thousand miles without a trace.”

It is the way of a Swordsman!

Gui Yuan True Venerable indulged in his fantasies, and his intent to kill grew increasingly sinister.

Once Lu Qingshan left the city, he soared into the sky with Sword Control, rapidly gaining speed.

Gui Yuan True Venerable also released a white Flying Sword, following close behind.

However, he managed the distance between them with great precision, keeping it to about fifty miles.

That distance was beyond the reach of even a Nascent Soul peak Cultivator’s Divine Sense.

Although the records indicated that Lu Qingshan was merely a Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivator,

since he was ranked in the First Sequence, Gui Yuan True Venerable still treated him with the respect due to a Nascent Soul peak Cultivator.

Besides, being discovered wouldn’t matter.

In this bustling area, where Cultivators come and go, who would suspect him of harboring murderous intent?

Lu Qingshan was always cautious, but as he drew closer to his Sect, he inevitably let his guard down somewhat.

Out of habit, he absentmindedly released his Divine Sense several times to survey his surroundings, each time noticing the same figure fifty miles behind him.

Gui Yuan True Venerable showed him full respect, but what he didn’t realize was that Lu Qingshan’s Primordial Spirit Realm was already not weaker than his own Void Refining Late Stage.

Thus, a distance of fifty miles could not restrain Lu Qingshan’s Divine Sense perception.

The sharp Lu Qingshan immediately sensed something unusual.

This must be considered a prosperous area; many Cultivators frequenting the sky is not strange, nor is it odd to travel a section of the road together.

What was odd was why this Cultivator maintained such a precise distance, keeping a consistent fifty miles between them?

He was unsure if this anomaly truly meant there was something amiss, nor was he certain if someone would be audacious enough to attack as he neared the Sword Sect.

Yet being cautious was never wrong.

One should be fearless in one’s strategy and bold in one’s cultivation—what kind of Sword Cultivator is fearful?

Thus, he made a show of being ostentatious.

But when it came to action, one had to be prudent, or else one would die faster than anyone else.

These two attitudes didn’t contradict each other.

Moved by a thought, Lu Qingshan pretended to have some business and circled back around.

This was a method he had been taught in a safety education class in his previous life:

When you suspect someone behind you is behaving suspiciously and can’t be sure if they are tailing you, simply turn around and observe them. If they unnaturally avoid you, there is a very high chance they are following you.

Gui Yuan True Venerable had been trailing Lu Qingshan all the way, looking for the best opportunity to act.

But as he followed, he suddenly noticed Lu Qingshan turning back.

Has he seen me?

His first instinct was to back off and escape.

However, in a moment of clarity, Gui Yuan True Venerable reconsidered.

Certain that his identity could not have been exposed, even if Lu Qingshan had somehow noticed him, he wouldn’t be able to guess that he was there to assassinate him.

Especially since it was more likely that Lu Qingshan had some matter to attend to by turning back.

Perhaps it was better not to be overly sensitive.

Then, why not take the opportunity as they approached each other to launch a surprise attack?

With his mind made up, Gui Yuan True Venerable pretended to stay calm, continuing forward without any change in his Sword Control speed or showing any flaws in his cover.

“So…” Lu Qingshan noticed the Cultivator behind showed no sign of avoiding him and wondered, “Am I overthinking this?”

But since he had already turned around, Lu Qingshan decided to check out who this Cultivator behind him was anyway.

He could faintly sense that the Cultivator must be a Sword Cultivator.

After all, only in the Escaping Light of a Sword Cultivator would there be such sharpness.

As the fifty-mile distance closed between them while moving towards each other, they came near within just a few breaths.

Lu Qingshan could already make out the appearance of the Cultivator behind him.

It was a man with a square face, dressed in Great Xia’s red embroidered bear robe, controlling a white Flying Sword.

“A Great Xia Cultivator, indeed I overthought this…” Lu Qingshan muttered to himself.

Yet in his deep black eyes, a black fish now emerged.

The black fish, hidden within the depth of his dark eyes, seemed to blend in as one, nearly imperceptible.
