The Great Ruler: Starting from the Lower Plane

Chapter 12 Burning Heaven Sword Sect

"It is true that I lied about this, but it was in a moment of panic. I hope you won't take offense, senior. If it were you, senior, you probably wouldn't have accepted a woman you'd never met before...?"

Meeting Su Zhen's scrutinizing gaze, Ye Feng responded with neither humility nor arrogance.

That day, he said that he was engaged, which was a reason for not wanting to agree to Su Zhen's proposal. However, even if he said that, it did not change Su Zhen's mind.

Now that the old story has been brought up again, he has no choice but to tell the truth and face it honestly.

"You brat, you've tricked me with such a reason. Fine, when you get to the Burning Heaven Sword Sect, you'll see my granddaughter. If you can still refuse then, I won't agree, but I'll at least admire you a little..."

Su Zhen shook his head, stroked his beard, and smiled, his eyes filled with certainty, clearly showing great confidence in his granddaughter's charm.

He simply couldn't believe that such a young boy would be uninterested in women.

No matter how outstanding his talent is, he is still a hot-blooded young man. When he arrives at the Burning Heaven Sword Sect, there will be plenty of good shows to watch.

Ye Feng smiled, but didn't respond to Su Zhen's words. Instead, he changed the subject and became much more serious.

"Senior, before I leave the Ye family today, I have one more request."

Su Zhen carefully examined Ye Feng for a moment before speaking slowly.

"You're worried about your grandfather and the Ye family after you go to the Burning Heaven Sword Sect, aren't you..."

Seeing through Ye Feng's thoughts at a glance, Ye Feng didn't hesitate and solemnly agreed.

"I left a trace of the Blazing Fire Sword Qi in your grandfather's body, which is enough to keep him safe. As for the Ye family, you don't need to worry about it. Someone will take care of them in the future."

Su Zhen stroked his beard, a knowing smile flashing in his eyes.

"Fire Sword Qi?"

Ye Feng was taken aback, then his heart leaped with joy.

A single sword aura from a Sword Emperor was enough to protect his grandfather, and it was also a symbol of status and a deterrent.

In the Tianfeng Dynasty and even the surrounding areas, unless a powerhouse at the Sword King realm or above intervenes, it is unlikely that anyone can break through.

With this sword energy present, his grandfather's safety could indeed be assured.

As for the Ye family, since Su Zhen said that someone would take care of them, then he had even less doubt. A Sword Emperor Realm expert could easily have countless people willing to serve him with just a few words.

Sending someone to look after the Ye family is a simple matter.

"Thank you so much, senior!"

Ye Feng bowed deeply, finally feeling a great weight lifted from his heart.

He was going to the Burning Heaven Sword Sect and didn't know when he would be able to return. Originally, he wanted to ask Su Zhen for some protective items or help his grandfather improve his strength.

Before he could even speak, Su Zhen had already arranged everything for him, even considering things more thoroughly than he had.

He knew the reason for this.

For Su Zhen, a powerful expert at the Sword Emperor realm, he was the hope for leaving this world in the future. Therefore, in order to allow him to cultivate in the Burning Heaven Sword Sect with peace of mind and quickly improve his strength, she had considered everything for him.

There is no such thing as a free lunch; this can be seen as an exchange of future benefits.

However, for him now, he is the actual beneficiary, even though these things mean nothing to Su Zhen.

"From now on, we're all family, so there's no need to be so polite."

"Since I value you, I will naturally resolve your worries so that you can focus on your cultivation without distractions."

Su Zhen waved his hand and laughed nonchalantly.

"Senior, in that case, let's set off..."

Ye Feng let out a soft breath, a hint of gratitude still lingering on his handsome face.

He had already said goodbye to his grandfather before arriving here, so there was no need to make him sad again. It was fine to leave like this.

"Um…"

Su Zhen slowly stood up, and without further delay, with a wave of his sleeve, an invisible force enveloped Ye Feng's figure.

The next moment, the space in front of the two rippled again, and the familiar crimson sword-shaped spatial rift opened silently, from which a vast spatial fluctuation spread out.

"Even at my speed, it will take some time to get to the Burning Heaven Sword Sect from here. Let's go..."

As Su Zhen spoke, he pulled Ye Feng into the spatial rift.

...

The Burning Heaven Sword Sect is located in the central region of the Western Sword Land, deep within the Crimson Sword Mountains.

This is a mountain range shrouded in pale red mist, stretching endlessly. Beneath the mist, peaks of various shapes and sizes point straight to the sky like giant swords.

Its palaces and pavilions stand in layers, appearing and disappearing in the pale red clouds, like a fairyland.

Every now and then, streaks of sword light of various colors would pierce the sky, traversing the mountains and soaring into the clouds. Without exception, those were all members of the Burning Heaven Sword Sect who were at least at the Sword Soul Realm.

Most striking of all are the three towering peaks arranged in a triangular pattern deep within this mountain range.

Three colossal peaks soared into the clouds, their bodies a deep crimson, as if forged from the purest fiery crystals. Their summits were hidden within rolling red clouds, from which the outlines of massive palaces could be vaguely seen, and an ancient aura that sent chills down one's spine emanated from them.

*Sizzle...* *Sizzle!*

In a void, space was slightly distorted, and a crimson sword-shaped spatial rift suddenly appeared. Two figures stepped out from it, namely Su Zhen and Ye Feng.

"This is my Burning Heaven Sword Sect."

Su Zhen pointed to the majestic, red-cloud-shrouded mountain range ahead, his voice tinged with pride.

"Our Burning Heaven Sword Sect has been established for ten thousand years, and governs nearly 30% of the territory of the Western Sword Land. It has a profound foundation."

"Although this is only the outer area, the concentration of energy in the surrounding area is several times higher than that of the outside world."

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng looked up and was utterly shocked.

Although he was somewhat prepared, he was still dazzled when he saw the sight with his own eyes.

Each of those soaring sword lights contained a terrifying power, and the energy permeating the air was pure and rich. With each breath, one could feel the sword energy within their body subtly increasing.

"As expected of a renowned cultivation holy land on the Sword Continent!"

Ye Feng gave a heartfelt sigh of praise.

"Little one, this is nothing."

Su Zhen smiled slightly and began to introduce himself to Ye Feng.

"The true core area of ​​the Burning Heaven Sword Sect is in places like the Burning Heaven Ancient Realm and the Blazing Fire Sword Stele space, where the energy is much more concentrated. You will know this when you enter and cultivate there later."

As he spoke, Su Zhen led Ye Feng to continue flying forward. Along the way, Ye Feng saw many figures riding flying swords or flying directly through the air. Their auras varied in strength, but even the weakest among them had the strength of the Sword Soul Realm.

Occasionally, one could even sense a few obscure and profound auras, far surpassing those of people in the Sword Soul Realm; those auras were at least those of experts in the Sword Domain Realm or even the Sword Marquis Realm.

Soon, the two arrived at the foot of a giant peak that was thousands of feet high and its entire body was as red as fire.

At the mountain gate, two middle-aged men dressed in crimson sword robes, exuding a sharp aura, stood solemnly. Upon seeing Su Zhen, they immediately bowed and paid their respects with utmost deference.

"Greetings, Supreme Elder!"
