Lin Dan is not the original owner, and will not be blinded by love. If Bai Yan was really just a weak scholar, he would not have been able to stay in the Dongsheng Sect so calmly, and he would not have trained He Yufei into a first-class master in a short period of time. Since he is hiding his true intentions, he must have some ulterior motive.
Bai Yan didn't show any panic on his face. He nodded slowly and said, "Yes."
Lin Dan immediately stood up, drew out the Shura Sword that was soaked in blood, and asked in a deep voice: "Why?" She could not sense Bai Yan's breath, he looked just like an ordinary person, but the more so, the more terrifying he was. With Lin Dan's current skills, she can see through a person's background at a glance, but she can't see through Bai Yan, which means that Bai Yan's realm is more than one level higher than hers.
What realm is above the Half-Step Grandmaster... It's the Grandmaster!
Lin Dan gripped the hilt of the knife tightly and took a step forward. His posture was as if he was facing a formidable enemy, but his expression remained calm.
Bai Yan still stood with his hands behind his back, and said slowly: "The Shura Blade was originally a forbidden technique of our sect, but it was stolen by the Eastern Saint Sect. My master said before his death - if Shura were to come to the world, we must use all our sect's strength to kill him together."
So that's how it is. Lin Dan nodded slightly to show his understanding. She was not interested in Bai Yan's sect or background, but she understood why his master left such a last words. Once the Shura Sword is mastered, it is easy to become addicted to killing and lose one's mind. What is even more terrifying is that the vitality in the practitioner's body will firmly protect the heart meridian, making it impossible to kill this person no matter what.
What kind of impact will a monster that only knows how to kill crazily but can never be killed have on the outside world? Lin Dan closed his eyes, as if he had foreseen the tragic scene of rivers of blood and corpses everywhere. She did not defend herself, but raised the knife and said calmly: "Come and fight."
Bai Yan didn't move for a long time, his eyes moving back and forth across her face, then looking at the line under her feet.
He Yufei was completely confused about the situation. She looked at Lin Dan, then at Bai Yan, and said in surprise: "Master, you, you know martial arts?" He Chongling had felt Bai Yan's pulse before, and he was clearly an ordinary person with no internal strength.
Bai Yan and Lin Dan ignored her and just stood there in a stalemate, staring at each other.
After a long while, Bai Yan took a step back and said calmly: "I won't kill you today, go away."
Lin Dan quickly understood what he meant. Although he let her go, it didn't mean that he would not pursue the matter from now on. He just didn't take action today, but who knows what he might do tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Moreover, when he mentioned the word "kill you", his tone was firm, as if killing a half-step grandmaster was an easy task for him. From this, it can be seen that this person must be one of the five grand masters, and his skills are far beyond what Lin Dan can match at present.
Why seek death when you can live well? Lin Dan was not a fool. He immediately put away the Shura Sword and flew away. Bai Yan tapped his toes and followed closely.
He Yufei couldn't recover for a long time looking at the backs of the two people who seemed to be ethereal and slow, but in fact they were thousands of miles away in the blink of an eye. She thought Lin Dan was a pitiful and pathetic woman, but she didn't expect that this man would kill He Chongling with one knife, more decisive than anyone else; she thought Bai Yan was a weak scholar, but she didn't expect that he would not be at all inferior to Lin Dan, a half-step master.
Doesn’t this show that Bai Yan is a great master? He Yufei, who had finally regained her ability to think, brightened up her eyes and immediately chased after him, shouting repeatedly, "Master, wait for me!" She just randomly picked a master, but she didn't expect that he was one of the five great masters. Her luck was too good!
…………
Lin Dan ran all the way, trying to get rid of Bai Yan, but no matter how fast she walked, Bai Yan would always keep a distance from her. When she walked fast, he also walked fast, and when she walked slow, he also walked slow, just like a cat chasing a mouse. If it were someone else, he would have been annoyed and panicked, but Lin Dan was not annoyed at all. Instead, he slowed down his pace and walked towards the nearest city. The original owner had no feelings for the Eastern Saint Church, so she had no intention of going back.
The Dong Tang Continent advocates martial arts and has numerous sects. The power of the martial arts world is far greater than that of the imperial court. Many cities are owned by major sects and are not affiliated with the royal family. Lin Dan walked to the city gate and looked up at the plaque hanging on the door beam. On it were written a few large characters in a flamboyant style - Eternal City.
The name was interesting. Lin Dan took a closer look and paid the entrance fee before finding an inn and preparing to settle down. "Waiter, bring me some signature dishes and a pot of liquor. If there is a room available, give me one." She put a dime on the counter.
"Okay, sir, please take a seat. Our signature dishes are stewed frogs and boiled beef. I will ask the chef to make them for you right away. Here is the key to the upper room. Please keep it. It is the first room on the left on the second floor. I will give you three taels of silver. I will weigh it for you." The waiter put the silver on the scale to measure it.
Lin Danyan said: "Don't give me the extra silver. Just boil me a bucket of hot water. I want to take a bath." Her black clothes were soaked in blood and were heavy.
The waiter then discovered that her precious sword and her skirt were dripping with blood, staining a large area of the floor red, and a strong fishy smell was spreading throughout the store. There is no doubt that this man must have killed people before, and killed quite a few of them!
"Okay, thank you for your visit. I'll go boil some water for you." The waiter retracted his gaze and continued to weigh the silver. He then cut off the excess and put it in his pocket. After that, he happily ran to the kitchen to boil water without showing any fear throughout the process.
The customers in the store also ignored Lin Dan, as if they didn't see the blood on the ground and the string of horrifying bloody footprints.
Everyone's strange reactions made Lin Dan alert. She slowly walked to the window seat and sat down, thinking: These people have such strange attitudes, either they are used to seeing blood, or they are mentally abnormal. But it is obviously impossible that all people are abnormal, so there is only one answer - for these people, killing and bloodshed has become a common thing. But this has nothing to do with her, so there is no need to delve into it.
Thinking of this, Lin Dan pulled out a pair of chopsticks from the bamboo tube, and took out a handkerchief from his arms, preparing to wipe the tableware, but saw that the handkerchief was covered with black and red blood spots, which was even dirtier than the chopsticks. She frowned slightly and stared at the chopsticks and handkerchief in a daze.
Bai Yan stood at the door and watched for a long time. Seeing that she was in a daze and didn't care about his arrival, he had to walk over slowly. He leaned over and looked at Lin Dan with a very complicated gaze, as if he was studying a difficult puzzle, or observing a ferocious beast.
"Are you ready to eat?" he asked in a low voice.
Lin Dan finally came back to his senses and glanced at him indifferently. The dishes have been ordered and the chopsticks have been picked up, so what else is there to do but eat?
For the first time, Bai Yan experienced the feeling of being despised. Although Lin Dan didn't say anything, her eyes clearly showed: You just asked a nonsense question. But he never expected that Lin Dan traveled thousands of miles to this city just to sit down and have a good meal.
The Shura Sword was originally his master's forbidden technique, so he knew the consequences of practicing the Shura Sword better than anyone else. Cutting off all feelings and love is already extremely difficult, and the heart-wrenching pain can completely destroy a strong man with a strong will. In order to relieve that pain, all practitioners fell into the abyss of killing, and eventually went crazy and died. Those tragic scenes of blood flowing like rivers were recorded in the sect's code.
But at this moment, Lin Dan had clearly mastered the art. There was no trace of pain on his face, nor any madness in his eyes. Apart from his face being paler than that of an ordinary person, there was nothing unusual about his body. She rushed here, paid the entrance fee, ordered two dishes, booked a room, and ordered a bucket of water. Her every move was normal, just like a dusty traveler. If Bai Yan had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that she was practicing the Shura Sword, and he would never have believed that she was suffering from the pain of being cut into pieces every moment.
"Where are you going to do in the future?" Bai Yan, who has always been indifferent and unpredictable, couldn't help but ask one more question. He originally planned to kill Lin Dan, but when he saw that she always kept to her bottom line and did not kill indiscriminately, he hesitated. This was the first time he felt sympathy for the sect's great enemy, and this was not right.
"Watch as you walk." Lin Dan folded the blood-stained handkerchief neatly and stuffed it back into his arms.
Bai Yan handed over his handkerchief and declared, "I will follow you."
Lin Dan took the handkerchief and wiped two pairs of chopsticks. She handed one pair to Bai Yan and kept one pair for herself, then nodded and said, "Okay." She knew why Bai Yan followed her so closely. It was to prevent her from killing innocent people. Once she lost control, Bai Yan would immediately wipe her out. Letting him follow is like hanging a sharp blade over your head, and you will face death at any time. But Lin Dan was not afraid, and even felt relieved. If she really lost control and couldn't even sever her own heart meridians, she would hope that there was someone strong enough to kill her immediately.
Bai Yan raised his eyebrows slightly. He did not expect that she would agree so readily, and he could not help but look at her carefully.
Lin Dan didn't care about his staring at her at all, and started eating after the dishes were served. Ever since the day Bai Yan and He Yufei failed to elope and were thrown into the dungeon, the original owner had not eaten much. She could become haggard for him, but Lin Dan could not stand the hunger. However, as soon as she took a bite, her brows were deeply frowned, because the chef's cooking skills were so poor. The frog meat was not marinated to remove the fishy smell, and the boiled beef was too tough to chew and needed to be stewed for another half an hour to make it tasty.
After just one bite, the correct methods of cooking these two dishes inexplicably appeared in her mind. Even though she had never held a kitchen knife or cooked at a stove since she came into this world, she firmly believed that she could make the most authentic delicacies.
Was I a cook in my previous life? She put down her bowl and chopsticks, thinking with a complicated expression.
Bai Yan looked at her straightly and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong with you?" In his eyes, Lin Dan was a wild beast on the verge of madness, who could suddenly kill people at any time and anywhere.
