Sword Heart Tomb.

Lanyue Marquis, all dressed in gold with a long sabre hung at his waist, walked into the courtyard led by Wu Fa and Wu Tian. The courtyard was filled with various sorts of herbs, giving off a faint scent. Unfortunately, the little master who should have been here had gone out again to gather herbs.

"It’s fine. I’ll just wait," Lanyue Marquis remarked mildly.

Wu Fa and Wu Tian exchanged a glance. Sword Heart Tomb’s position in the martial world was not considered low but they dare not neglect such an important guest.

"Marquis, I’ll go look for her at the back of the mountain." Wu Fa excused herself first.

"Marqius." An old voice sounded. Lanyue Marquis turned around and saw Li Suwang who had appeared behind him without his notice. Lanyue Marquis smiled and greeted, "Tombmaster."

"How’s this? Such a rare occasion for the Marquis to visit Sword Heart Tomb, yet you’re not here to see this old man. Why are you here for my little guest instead?" Li Suwang waved his hand and Wu Tian immediately understood and excused herself.

"I have an urgent matter. Although your little guest is young, she’s a little genius doctor. I met her at Lei Clan Fort." Lanyue Marquis knelt down to observe the herbs before he reached a hand out to touch one of them.

"Don't touch." A sharp voice interrupted him, and Lanyue Marquis turned his head. He saw a little lady with a medicine box on her back and a slightly angry expression on her face. "That’s orchid fragrance grass. Looks beautiful, but lethally poisonous. If your finger gets cut by the leaves, your life will be in danger!"

"Little genius doctor." Lanyue Marquis was not offended and only called out in a light voice.

Hua Jin was taken aback for a moment, and finally recognized the person in front of her. "It's you."

"It's me." Lanyue Marquis nodded. "I'm looking for you."

Hua Jin frowned slightly. "Why are you looking for me?"

"To save a life," Lanyue Marquis answered simply.

"I don’t do visits." Hua Jin shook her head.

Lanyue Marquis grinned. "Little genius doctor, you may not know this. But some requests, in fact, cannot be refused. For example, mine."

"Why?" Hua Jin took a step back.

"Because I am the golden Lanyue Marquis, regent of Beili. The entire Beili is now under my control, what’s more, a girl like you." Lanyue Marquis walked over and picked up Hua Jin. "I’m in a hurry. Come with me."

Hua Jin yelled anxiously and shrieked at Li Suwang. "Old master, save me! Old master!"

Li Suwang sighed. "He’s not wrong. Now, he’s the biggest boss in Beili. Not even I can stop him. But, Marquis, there’s no need for you to tease a child."

"It’s fun." Lanyue Marquis grinned.

Hua Jin shouted angrily, "Put me down!"

Lanyue Marquis released his hand and Hua Jin fell onto the ground on her backside, her eyes almost tearing at the sudden pain. She glared sourly at Lanyue Marquis. "Who am I saving? What symptoms?"

"His surname is Xiao, name Ruojin. The one you’re saving is the Emperor of Beili." Lanyue Marquis pronounced each word evenly.

Hua Jin was stunned. "The Em.. Emperor?"

"He has contracted an ailment of the heart. He suddenly fainted at the Ceremony of Offering Sacrifices and since then, he’s been in a state of coma." Lanyue Marquis no longer had that frivolous grin on his face.

After thinking for a while, Hua Jin nodded. "Okay. I'll go with you."

Lanyue Marquis picked her up again. "I already said, you have no choice. Don't put on your airs as if you agreed to go with me. There’s not much time. We leave now."

"Would you believe I can stab you to death with a needle?" Hua Jin drew out a silver needle.

"Would you believe that at the moment you try, those needles will pierce your ass?" Lanyue Marquis raised his eyebrows.

Li Suwang cleared his throat. "Marquis, please show respect."

Lanyue Marquis laughed as he turned his head and looked in the direction of Sword Heart Cliff in the distance. "The Tomb has been receiving important guests lately?"

"Two of my grandchildren recently came back to stay for a while." Li Suwang looked towards Sword Heart Cliff with a knowing smile.

"No wonder there’s such a strong sword aura. Because Li Hanyi is here." Lanyue Marquis frowned. "But, this sword aura is not quite the same as Li Hanyi’s. It's more like.."

"Like Xinyue’s," Li Suwang finished for him.

Moon in sword heart, Killer in dreams.

Two legendary figures of Heavenly Revelations City.

Lanyue Marquis suddenly made a realisation. "Could it be that kid in red."

"Exactly." Li Suwang nodded.

"Good. Very good." Lanyue Marquis turned and walked out. "The Qinglong Guardian has a true successor."

At Sword Heart Cliff, Lei Wujie sheathed his sword. He was soaked in sweat and panting heavily. "Jiejie, how was my sword just now?"

"A true sword of the Heavenly Realm." Li Hanyi looked solemn, but she added a praise, "Not bad."

"I’ve finally entered the Heavenly Realm?" Lei Wujie exclaimed with joy.

"Still lacking a bit." Li Hanyi shook her head.

"What bit?" Lei Wujie asked.

"You lack the sword heart." Li Hanyi drew her sword in a flash, thrusting it at Lei Wujie. She was seriously injured and presently far from fully healed. She was thousands of miles away from the realm of a sword immortal she was at back then. But this single thrust of a sword had the same extraordinary power as before.

Lei Wujie hurriedly drew his own sword, and with a wave of his hand, it contained the incredible power of a sword of the Heavenly Realm. He was even confident that this sword was stronger than the one just now, but in an instant, the Heart sword was knocked into the air, spun a circle and fell, piercing into the ground.

Lei Wujie stared back, slack-jawed.

"Right now, I’m only in the Vajra Mortal Realm, but your sword of the Heavenly Realm was still not a match for me." Li Hanyi sheathed her sword and added mildly, "That’s the Sword Heart."

Snow Moon City.

The news that Mingde Emperor was seriously ill scattered all over Beili like a piece of paper. Naturally, it had also drifted here.

After receiving the news, Xiao Se had been frowning the whole time as he looked out the window, looking like he was deep in thought. Sikong Qianluo opened his door at this moment, and when she saw him, she knew in her heart. "You’ve heard the news."

Xiao Se gently stroked the Wuji staff and nodded.

Sikong Qianluo asked him, "So, are you going back?"

Xiao Se did not answer her.

Sikong Qianluo asked again, "Can I go with you? Go to the Heavenly Revelations you talked about."

Xiao Se shook his head. "It's not time to go back yet. Heavenly Revelations will be sending someone to Snow Moon City very soon. Third Citymaster is renowned as the successor of the Medicine King. If the Imperial Academy of Medicine cannot solve this, then perhaps Third Citymaster can find a solution."

"Qianluo-shijie, Xiao-shidi. A guest is here," a disciple announced softly from outside the door.

Sikong Qianluo started. "Just as you predicted?"

Xiao Se asked the disciple faintly, "Are they from Heavenly Revelations?"

The disciple shook his head. "No."

Sikong Qianluo was startled and Xiao Se’s shoulders slumped over. He said awkwardly, "Then.. where are they from?"

"They’re the two strange people that visited the city before, the blind swordsman and the deaf and mute qin player. They were both covered with blood and that blind man looked like he’s not going to make it. They’ve already been sent to Third Citymaster’s medical clinic!"

"What!" Xiao Se was shocked. His figure flashed, and he was already out the door.
