Chapter 715: Chapter 281: Revealing the Desolate Mountain, Creating Heaven with One Hand (Part 2)

A fermented sour smell wafted off his body, making Fu Manman and Zhuge Hong instinctively take a step back.

Fan Wubing asked, "Why did Great Sword Immortal Li Yuan want to buy from you, and you ignored him?"

The little old man chuckled, "That kid lacks talent, not cut out for sword training. But you, you’re a natural-born sword prodigy!"

Fan Wubing smiled, "Is that so? But I’m not really interested in swords."

After he said this, the Flying Sword Peach Blossom, which had been staying quietly in his Purple Mansion for a long time, couldn’t help but feel downcast.

The old man’s eyes burned with enthusiasm, "Interest isn’t important, what’s important is that you’re suitable!"

At this moment, a government official came over, looking annoyed and speaking harshly,

"Old beggar, why are you still here! Get out, hurry up and get out!"

As he drove the man away, he said to Fan Wubing, "Young master, he’s just a beggar deceiving people everywhere, don’t be fooled by him. Without money to get a Passage Decree, he’s been flaunting some broken books to swindle others. He actually managed to trick someone recently."

"What do you mean ’broken books’! Watch your mouth! Take a good look, which of my sword manuals is not top-tier under heaven!" the old man retorted indignantly.

The official said angrily, "If you keep causing trouble, don’t blame me for not being polite!" He slapped the sword manuals out of the old man’s hands.

Fan Wubing stopped him, took out six thousand top-quality Spirit Stones, and said with a smile,

"Forget it, why don’t you help this old gentleman process a Passage Decree for me. What’s left can be your fee for the trouble."

A thousand top-quality Spirit Stones for the trouble!

Such generosity, even made the official forget to grumble that he was playing the fool, and he beamed, "Alright, alright. Please wait a moment, I’ll handle it right away."

A Passage Decree was soon handed over with both hands.

"Old gentleman, please accept it," Fan Wubing said.

But the old man who received this kind gesture was very disappointed and said to Fan Wubing,

"Wrong, wrong."

Fan Wubing smiled and asked, "What was wrong?"

The old man glared and said, "You should have spent five thousand to buy my Sword Technique, and then I would take that money to get a Passage Decree. That’s the right way. Now, you gave me the Passage Decree for free and let that kid benefit a thousand. Wrong, wrong, completely wrong!"

"Then can I buy one of your sword manuals now?"

The old man guarded his sword manuals like treasures, sneered,

"Want it now? No way! The fate between you and me has completely disappeared because of your mistake!"

Fan Wubing smiled without saying much, "The Passage Decree is a gift to you, whether you want it or not is up to you." Then, he said to Fu and Zhuge, "Let’s go in."

The three of them walked through a tall and narrow corridor into Sun-shooting Pass.

A dazzling light shone in their faces. It wasn’t sunlight, but rather the sword light reflected from the sharp Sword Qi.

Fan Wubing instinctively squinted his eyes a bit. When the sword light vanished, he found himself inside Sun-shooting Pass. This once-great battlefield revealed a grand glory that made one feel incredibly small.

In the past, Zhuge Hong would have exclaimed in awe, but at this moment, it was exceptionally quiet.

Fan Wubing glanced around but found himself alone.

Fu Manman and Zhuge Hong were nowhere to be seen.

Did they not come in?

He looked back, but behind him was not the corridor they had just entered, but scorched red ground.

He expanded his spirit, but found that his spirit, which once could cover the entire Immortal Continent, could now only cover a radius of ten miles here.

Before coming in, he had heard that the Sword Intent at Sun-shooting Pass crisscrossed and heavily suppressed Immortal Dao abilities, except those related to Sword Dao. Now, he saw it was indeed true.

"What about the Divination Skill?"

The Divination Skill didn’t belong to the realm of Immortal Dao; it was an ability under heavenly principles and fate.

Fan Wubing used the Divination Skill, indeed unaffected, but found no trace of Fu Manman and Zhuge Hong.

He thought of breaking the Passage Decree to go out and take a look.

At that moment, a ripple stirred in the space beside him. The old man emerged from within.

Fan Wubing smiled, "Old gentleman, you came in after all. Does this mean the fate between us has resumed?"

The old man snorted coldly, "I, the old man, have suffered hardships and can’t stand the thought of silver being wasted like that."

White silver...

Fan Wubing chuckled to himself; there weren’t many who still used such descriptions.

"May I ask the old gentleman’s name?"

The old man rolled his eyes, "A younger generation should introduce themselves first, shouldn’t they?"

Fan Wubing smiled slightly, "I am Fan Wubing."

"Boring, boring!" The old man waved his hand, "Who gives their real name right away! You, no fun at all. You gave your real name, what about the old man?"

Fan Wubing said, "Then let me guess the old gentleman’s name."

The old man’s eyes lit up, "Hey, that’s good, that’s good!"

Fan Wubing smiled, "Junior Fan Wubing, greets Great Sword Immortal Li Yuan."

The old man, who had just shown some interest, was instantly deflated, having his true identity guessed so quickly. He stared at Fan Wubing with lifeless fish eyes, utterly bored,

"That’s why you young people have no respect for your elders!"

Fan Wubing said sheepishly, "It’s my mistake; I should have guessed wrong first to make the elder happy."

Li Yuan got even more annoyed, "You brat! Cursing me for being disrespectful in a roundabout way!"

Fan Wubing just smiled without saying a word.

Seeing this, Li Yuan said, "Forget it, forget it, I won’t bicker with you."

Li Yuan was a Great Sword Immortal.

Other Great Sword Immortals all had various honorary titles. But him, his title was simply Great Sword Immortal.

This is an honor belonging to someone who created an era.
