"Isn’t that the prodigy of the Gu Family, Gu Changfeng, who was expelled by the Dragon Sword Mansion?"

The man in purple clothes grinned and said, "A great prodigy who comprehended Sword Intent at the age of six. Your Gu Family suddenly vanished back then, and I was wondering where you all could have gone. So, it turns out you chose to degenerate and go to the Eastern Spirit Domain to live like kings, hahaha!"

"Gu Changfeng? That name sounds somewhat familiar!"

"I remember now, wasn’t he that ’great prodigy’ who was expelled by the Dragon Sword Mansion over twenty years ago?"

"I heard he came from an insignificant little family, but he comprehended Sword Intent at the age of six, causing a massive stir for a time!"

"What a pity, this fellow was daringly lecherous. It’s said he was caught peeping on his master’s wife and then had his Sword Seed abolished by his teacher. Originally, he was a super prodigy with Undying Sword Intent!" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Many of the surrounding geniuses from the West Sword Domain talked, basically recounting Gu Changfeng’s past.

Ling Feng was slightly surprised, not expecting Gu Changfeng’s past to have had so many twists.

However, although he wasn’t very familiar with Gu Changfeng, Ling Feng couldn’t believe that he was such a lustful person.

Perhaps, there was another hidden story behind it all.

Gu Changfeng clenched his fist tightly, and Ling Feng could even feel his whole body trembling.

Not out of fear, but because of anger!

"Sima Xu!"

Gu Changfeng lifted his eyes to glare at the man in purple clothes, speaking with hatred, "Don’t push people too far!"

"Push too far?" Sima Xu grinned, "How would I dare? You are, after all, a great prodigy of the Dragon Sword Mansion. Oh, I forgot, you were expelled long ago! You should be called the expelled lecherous villain, hahaha!"

Gu Changfeng clenched his fist tighter, took a deep breath, and knowing he wasn’t as skilled as his opponent, turned his head away, ignoring the aggressive purple-clad man.

"Heh, heh, the proud prodigy has now become a turtle hiding in its shell?"

Seeing Gu Changfeng endure in silence, Sima Xu lost interest in mocking him further, remarking disinterestedly, "Well, a turtle hiding in its shell indeed lives longer. It suits you very well. Let’s go."

Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly felt a cold Killing Intent locking onto him.

Sima Xu shivered involuntarily and turned back to find that it was the kid by Gu Changfeng’s side, only at the Talent Emperor Realm, who dared to lock his Killing Intent onto him.

"Huh?"

Sima Xu’s eyelids twitched slightly, revealing a hint of surprise, "Slaughter Sword Intent? It’s actually the Slaughter Sword Intent, the hardest to master of the Ten Great Attribute Sword Intents!"

As these words came out, many geniuses from the West Sword Domain turned their eyes over.

Even in the West Sword Domain, where Sword Dao cultivation is the mainstream, hardly anyone can comprehend the Slaughter Sword Intent.

"Interesting."

Sima Xu glanced at Ling Feng, calmly saying, "For a local from the Eastern Spirit Domain to comprehend the Slaughter Sword Intent, you can be considered an interesting native!"

The so-called natives are derogatorily referred to by those who consider themselves civilized, for people they deem uncultured barbarians.

In Sima Xu’s eyes, everyone from the Eastern Spirit Domain was nothing but barbarians. This arrogant attitude and self-proclaimed superiority were indeed irritating.

"Considering it’s not easy to comprehend the Slaughter Sword Intent, I’ll spare your life."

This wasn’t out of mercy, but Sima Xu simply considered Ling Feng a mere ant he could crush at will.

"Spare me?"

Ling Feng chuckled in frustration, wondering why this guy was so arrogant!

"Junior Brother Ling..."

Beside him, Gu Changfeng quickly placed his hand on Ling Feng’s shoulder, shaking his head towards him.

"Alright then..."

Ling Feng took a deep breath. If a conflict erupted with Sima Xu now, and all those West Sword Domain geniuses joined in, he definitely wouldn’t benefit.

Even if he could slip away, Gu Changfeng, in the same camp as him, would probably not survive.

"Let’s go, the Ancient Earth Fire has dissipated; we can enter the Xuanjian Underground Palace now."

Someone saw the flames at the Underground Palace entrance gradually dissipating and couldn’t help but feel eager.

Then, someone took the lead, turning into a stream of light, darting into that pitch-black entrance, disappearing as if devoured.

Sima Xu cast a glance at Ling Feng, and with his other two companions, flashed towards that dark entrance.

Gu Changfeng took a deep breath, and after a long silence, finally said with gritted teeth, "Junior Brother Ling, I..."

"The clean will stay clean. Brother Gu, I believe you’re not that kind of person."

Ling Feng glanced at Gu Changfeng, Sword Heart is one’s true heart, and Gu Changfeng’s sword was upright and forthright. His character couldn’t be bad.

"Thank you." Gu Changfeng sighed softly, "Let’s go. I hope I haven’t caused you unnecessary trouble due to my presence."

"Even if I have, it doesn’t matter."

Ling Feng shrugged and said calmly, "If you can, Brother Gu, please tell me more about the Xuanjian Underground Palace."

"Of course."

Gu Changfeng nodded; he didn’t wish to mention the past much, nor did he want to recall it.

After all, he had spent quite some time getting back on his feet after that incident.

...

As they talked, Ling Feng and Gu Changfeng were already inside the Xuanjian Underground Palace and had entered the First Layer area.

Though called an underground palace, the Xuanjian Underground Palace was vast, seemingly endless at a glance.
