Chapter 174 – Senior Brother Meng, I can’t make the decision on this
The woman, though just an ordinary person without any cultivation, had seen her share of the world.
Especially since, even though the Ye family had declined, there were still some experts among them.
A mere disciple of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, not even someone high-ranking, dared to draw his sword and threaten her in the Ye family’s own domain?
"Xiaoyu, is this the fellow disciple you brought? Do you have no respect for your elders?" The woman scolded Ye Qingyu sharply.
Before Ye Qingyu could respond, Meng Fan couldn't hold back any longer.
"Elder? Ha, you think you deserve that title?"
In Meng Fan's eyes, the number of people qualified to be his elders could be counted on one hand.
This woman? She was nothing.
"Smack!" With a wave of Meng Fan's hand, the flat of the Hong Qi Sword struck the woman's face.
In an instant, her facial bones shattered, her teeth were broken, and she was sent flying, crashing into the wall.
"Let's go!" Meng Fan didn't spare the woman another glance, nor did he care what she might say next. He simply grabbed Ye Qingyu and left.
After beating someone's mother, Meng Fan still had the audacity to drag the daughter away as if nothing had happened.
"Senior Brother Meng..." Ye Qingyu wanted to say something but was immediately cut off by Meng Fan.
"No need to apologize!"
Ye Qingyu felt choked up.
You beat my mother so badly, why would you think I want to apologize to you?
Shouldn't you be the one apologizing to me?
Ye Qingyu found Senior Brother Meng Fan to be... quite unique.
Many things that ordinary people wouldn't dare to do, he did with ease.
For instance, if it were another fellow disciple, they would never have laid a hand on her mother in front of her, out of respect.
But Senior Brother Meng didn't even blink before striking, and he didn't hold back!
Ye Qingyu smiled bitterly, "Senior Brother Meng, although my mother isn't a cultivator, there are still strong individuals in the Ye family.
At least cultivators at the Condensation Pill Realm, more than a handful!
So I think you should keep a low profile and not be too impulsive, or it might not end well."
To be honest, she wasn't threatening Meng Fan but showing concern.
However, what she didn't know was that Elder Lin had given Meng Fan a Sword Seal before he left Shu Mountain to ensure he wouldn't be wronged.
With the Sword Seal, even cultivators at the Summoning God Realm would have to kneel!
So, it was the Ye family that needed to keep a low profile.
It wasn't that Meng Fan couldn't afford to provoke the Ye family; it was that the Ye family couldn't afford to provoke Meng Fan!
If Meng Fan ruthlessly activated the Sword Seal, exterminating the entire Ye family would be a matter of moments.
So, the Ye family had better behave.
"Let's head straight to the Sword Immortal of Alchemy's inheritance site." Meng Fan didn't bother explaining to Ye Qingyu, nor was there a need to.
"Alright, let's get there quickly, finish up, and return to Shu Mountain to avoid trouble!" Ye Qingyu said helplessly.
Meng Fan had injured her mother, which would undoubtedly cause trouble, possibly significant trouble.
So she also wanted to end this quickly and leave.
However, she had to admit, she wasn't angry about Meng Fan injuring her mother.
It seemed her mother was right; she really was an unfilial daughter!
***
Ye Qingyu led Meng Fan to a rock garden in the Ye family's backyard.
Meng Fan watched as she tapped on a particular rock, revealing a hidden passage.
"The inheritance site you mentioned is underground?" Meng Fan asked, surprised.
This was unexpected.
Ye Qingyu glanced back at Meng Fan and shrugged, "If it weren't hidden, it would have been discovered long ago!"
She entered the passage first, and Meng Fan followed.
The passage was dark, and Ye Qingyu took out a Night Pearl for illumination, clearly prepared.
Moments later, they arrived at a large door.
A door made of Mysterious Iron blocked their way, sealing the path ahead.
Ye Qingyu condensed a strand of Sword Qi, pricked her finger, and let her blood drip into a groove on the door.
Moments later, the door trembled and slowly opened automatically.
To Meng Fan's surprise, behind the door was a vast space.
It was hard to imagine such a large underground space.
"Your Ye family ancestor must have spent a fortune back then," Meng Fan remarked in mild amazement.
But the amazement was fleeting, quickly replaced by calm.
For someone at the Sword Immortal of Alchemy's level, creating such a large underground space was a trivial task.
After all, such powerful individuals could move mountains and fill seas, let alone carve out an underground space.
Behind the door was a vast, empty square.
At the back of the square stood a grand hall.
To reach the hall, they had to cross the square.
The square was filled with countless swords, at least a hundred by Meng Fan's quick count.
And none of them were Ordinary Swords; they were all Spiritual Swords!
This was because the Sword Immortal of Alchemy had considered his descendants. Otherwise, with his abilities, filling the place with Law Swords wouldn't have been a problem.
But if he had left a hundred Law Swords, it wouldn't have been a blessing but a curse for his descendants.
Because a hundred Law Swords would be beyond their control, leading to their downfall.
So, he used Spiritual Swords for the inheritance sword formation.
"Senior Brother Meng, this square is the inheritance sword formation I mentioned.
You can try to see if you can pass the formation's test.
If you feel you can't handle it, retreat immediately to avoid danger.
Don't force it, or it could be life-threatening!"
Ye Qingyu warned Meng Fan with a serious expression.
The inheritance sword formation was safe as long as one didn't push too hard. If it became too much, retreating would ensure safety.
This was one of the main reasons Meng Fan agreed to come with Ye Qingyu.
Safety first!
After all, with his Sword Dao Transcendence, Meng Fan didn't need to take unnecessary risks.
"If I pass the inheritance sword formation's test, I'll take these swords with me," Meng Fan said casually to Ye Qingyu.
His tone wasn't one of negotiation but of notification.
If he passed the Sword Immortal of Alchemy's inheritance test, he would be considered the Sword Immortal's successor.
Not to mention the alchemical arts, he would at least be the Sword Immortal's successor in Sword Dao.
Taking these Spiritual Swords would be perfectly justified!
A successor had more right to these swords than descendants.
Moreover, the Ye family's descendants couldn't take these swords anyway.
For years, they had left these swords to gather dust underground, unseen by the world.
"Senior Brother Meng, I... I can't make that decision," Ye Qingyu said awkwardly, her voice small.
"You don't need to decide, just listen."
Meng Fan waved his hand and walked towards the square.
