Nine Palace Divine Sword, Tao Zhengren, one of the Four Great Swordsmen of Jiangnan.

He came to Cyan Forest City in the Northwest because he heard that a Divine Weapon, the Dragon Roar Sword, was discovered on Broken Dragon Mountain, so he traveled all the way from Jiangnan.

For a swordsman, a legendary sword is the ultimate love.

The Dragon Roar Sword was the personal sword of the Sword Saint from centuries ago, and it's said that the swordsmanship of the Sword Saint, who dominated the world, is inscribed on the Dragon Roar Sword.

Tao Zhengren traveled thousands of miles to see for himself.

However, yesterday, while he was meeting a friend, his two daughters were harassed by a lecher, and nearly fell victim.

Tao Zhengren, who roamed the world, had never suffered such a loss. But the perpetrator fled, and being unfamiliar with the area, he had to rely on friends to help find them.

In this vast sea of people, it's not easy to find a lecher.

Tao Zhengren didn't have much hope, but to his surprise, as soon as he entered the city today, he saw a wanted poster for the lecher at the city gate.

The official document clearly stated that Gao Xuan was originally a newly recruited escort master at Zhenwu Escort Agency, but he raped and murdered a young girl and fled the scene.

Of all evil deeds, lechery is the worst.

The knights who roam the Jianghu hate lechers the most. While bandits and robbers might be compelled by circumstances, lechers have no excuse; it's pure malice. Hence, when faced with a lecher, there's a saying: kill one when you see one, there's no chance of killing the wrong person.

Tao Zhengren is an experienced Jianghu elder, filled with killing intent but acting with restraint.

Cyan Forest City is enormous, housing over a hundred thousand people. Suppose Gao Xuan isn't here, even if he is, Tao Zhengren wouldn't know where to begin looking.

Tao Zhengren said to his two daughters, "Feiyun Swordsman He Chuan is here in Cyan Forest City. I sparred with him years ago. Although his swordsmanship isn't as good as mine, he's a top-grade swordsman, and he comes from a prestigious family. Since we are here, we should pay a visit to his house..."

The two daughters naturally had to listen to their father.

Tao Zhengren's entourage also included an old lady and two servants, who had also learned some swordsmanship from Tao Zhengren, making them half-disciples.

Being a great swordsman, of course, there must be someone to attend to him when he travels. It's inconvenient for him to handle trivial matters directly.

For minor tasks like asking for directions, he naturally dispatched his servants. The

Feiyun Sword Hall is well-known in Cyan Forest City, so they quickly found its location by inquiring.

Upon hearing that Tao Zhengren was visiting, He Chuan, who was chatting with Third Lady, was stunned, "Why isn't he staying in Jiangnan and instead running to this windy and sandy Northwest!"

Third Lady said, "He's probably here for the Dragon Roar Sword, isn't he?"

"That old fool isn't thinking straight. Even if the Dragon Roar Sword is truly found, it won't be his turn to have it."

He Chuan shook his head, "This man once beat me by a move in the past, and he bragged about it everywhere. Surprisingly, he has the nerve to find me now. He really thinks we're good friends, haha..."

He Chuan found it hilarious; Tao Zhengren was indeed too oblivious.

They had only fought once and didn't get along well. Yet, he had the audacity to approach directly.

Third Lady's eyes flashed with a hint of cold light, "If this guy is so ignorant, I'll teach him a lesson for you, big brother!"

"Forget it, after all, he's a Wudang disciple. If something happens to him here, it would be hard to explain."

He Chuan said, "The most important thing now is to catch that little brat. If he escapes the Northwest, it will be hard to handle."

Third Lady, full of shame, said, "I don't know Gao Xuan well. He was sent by the headquarters. Who would have thought this guy would be so bold and actually go and do justice, it's really inexplicable."

Third Lady couldn't understand Gao Xuan's actions at all.

Growing up in the sect, even if one hasn't done bad things, ears are always filled with it, and their bones turn black over time.

For some reason, within two days of arriving at Cyan Forest City, Gao Xuan seemed like a different person.

Gao Xuan's behavior last night also surprised Third Lady.

Gao Xuan's actions were insidious and secretive, even this old Jianghu person was caught off guard.

His method of extracting information about the Golden Silk Palm was even more seasoned. He repeatedly questioned from beginning to end, not giving her any chance to lie.

What was more terrifying was that Gao Xuan seemed to have mastered the Golden Silk Palm in an instant.

This matter was so incredulous that Third Lady did not go into detail with He Chuan.

Anyway, as long as they catch Gao Xuan, no matter what kind of martial arts prodigy he is, he'll be executed with a single sword strike.

No, they should sever all his limbs and preserve him in a salt barrel. This will serve as an example to let others know the consequences of betraying the sect.

He Chuan didn't think this much, he said to Third Lady, "Tao Zhengren is an old Jianghu, it would be inconvenient for you here. Go wait in the back first."

Third Lady turned and went to the backyard. She was He Chuan's cousin, which is why she became the sub-branch leader of Cyan Forest City.

However, no one outside knew of her connection to He Chuan. This time, it was thanks to this relationship that she escaped disaster.

Otherwise, if the human trafficking scandal was exposed, the Feihua Sect would have killed her to clear any ties.

Third Lady rested in the back house until the afternoon, when He Chuan came looking for her.

Third Lady was a bit surprised, "Big brother, aren't you going to entertain Tao Zhengren?"

"The old man is arrogant. There's no point talking to him."

He Chuan said, revealing a sly smile, "However, the old man's twin daughters are beautiful. Jiangnan women, gentle and lovely, truly top-grade."

Third Lady understood instantly, "If big brother likes, I'll help you deal with this old man."

"What do you have in mind?"

He Chuan reminded, "Although Tao Zhengren is arrogant, he's an old Jianghu, familiar with all the tricks in the Jianghu. If he sees through our intentions, it'll be troublesome."

To be honest, if it came to an actual sword fight, He Chuan wasn't confident he could beat Tao Zhengren.

Jiangnan is a land of beauty and talent, teeming with masters. Tao Zhengren being one of the Four Great Swordsmen of Jiangnan, one can imagine how refined his swordsmanship is.
