These Demon Wolf Half-demons, all possessing combat power comparable to the Sealed Marquis Realm, were unexpectedly all slain by Lin Yi as easily as sweeping away fallen leaves!
This young Sword Cultivor, who looked about their own age, actually possessed such formidable strength.
An invincible bearing.
Could he be one of the Central Province’s Heavenly Prides?
"Thank you, young master, for saving our lives!"
Surviving the ordeal, the two men and two women came forward to bow to Lin Yi, their faces brimming with gratitude.
Lin Yi waved his hand and then said, "With your strength, you shouldn’t have ventured this deep into Black Flame Volcano. There are still many powerful members of the Demon Clan here. If you run into them again, you might not be so lucky."
"Young master speaks the truth!"
The notably attractive woman among them immediately nodded, "We are preparing to leave now."
After such an experience, who would dare to linger in Black Flame Volcano any longer, unless they no longer wished to live?
But just as they were about to turn and leave, they were stopped by Lin Yi, "After you leave Black Flame Volcano, where do you plan to go?"
"My name is Xu Man, and we are all disciples of the Xu Family from Qingyang County in Great Wilderness State."
The attractive woman spoke, "After leaving, we naturally plan to return to our family. If you don’t mind, sir, could you please leave your name? We owe you a great debt of gratitude for saving our lives."
The four had thought that Lin Yi was inquiring about their origins because they didn’t understand the ways of the world.
"No need for gratitude."
Lin Yi shook his head, "I was also planning to head to Great Wilderness State; perhaps we could go together."
Xu Man inclined her head, "But does the benefactor intend to go to Great Wilderness State right now?"
"Recently, there have been rumors within Black Flame Volcano of the emergence of a Divine Sword, attracting many powerful Sword Cultivators. Don’t you want to check it out, sir?"
"A Divine Sword has emerged?"
Lin Yi’s eyes suddenly lit up, "Is that true?"
As a Sword Cultivor, the allure of a Divine Sword needed no explanation.
Moreover, Lin Yi practiced the Chaos Sword Body Technique, which allowed him to absorb the power of treasure swords and enhance his cultivation.
With a wry smile, Xu Man inclined her head, "That’s precisely the luck we were trying to test, but unexpectedly our own strength was insufficient. Before we could even catch a glimpse of the Divine Sword, we nearly lost our lives to the Demon Wolf Half-demon right here."
"Do you have any clues about the Divine Sword?"
Lin Yi was indeed very interested in a powerful Divine Sword; after all, the opportunity was right in front of him, there was no need to put in extra effort to search for it, so why not go for it?
"If the benefactor is interested in the Divine Sword, this young lady is willing to guide you."
Hearing Xu Man offer to guide Lin Yi, the faces of the other three also changed. With Black Flame Volcano being so dangerous, and having already left a shadow in their hearts, they would rather have more routes to leave the place immediately. And yet, Xu Man was planning to stay.
Aren’t they afraid of falling into the hands of the Demon Clan again?
"With the benefactor at our side, there’s no need to worry."
Xu Man shook her head, "Having been saved by the benefactor, we naturally want to do something for you in return for saving our lives."
Hearing this, Lin Yi’s eyes also showed a slight surprise; he did not expect this Xu Man to be a woman who understood the concept of repaying kindness.
"Then, I’ll be in your care."
Seeing Xu Man had made up her mind, the other three no longer tried to persuade her and left first.
Lin Yi looked at Xu Man beside him, and the two immediately set off in one direction at high speed.
From Xu Man’s account, Lin Yi learned that within Black Flame Volcano, there had been a powerful Sword Dao Half-Saint who had died.
This Sword Dao Half-Saint, a Half-demon, was extremely talented in the way of the sword and had once been a disciple of one of the Four Great Sword Saints of the Human Clan – the Blood Prison Sword Saint, and he was one of the Blood Prison Sword Saint’s proud pupils.
Maybe it was because of his Half-demon status, but the Half-Saint suffered a lot of exclusion from the other disciples under the Blood Prison Sword Saint. Thus, after killing several of them, he fled back to Black Flame Volcano.
He was seriously injured and soon after returning to Black Flame Volcano, he passed away.
Afterward, many sought out this Half-demon Half-Saint in Black Flame Volcano, but no one succeeded.
As time passed, people gradually forgot about him.
Recently, the discovery of this Half-Saint’s cave abode spread throughout Great Wilderness State, undoubtedly attracting countless strong individuals.
After all, that was a Half-Saint’s cave abode!
And rumors had it that when the Half-Saint fled, he took a Holy Sword with him! This means that there might very well be a Holy Sword inside this Half-Saint’s cave abode!
"A Holy Sword, is it true or false?"
If the news was true, the value of a Holy Sword would undoubtedly drive countless people insane.
However, Lin Yi did not hold too much hope. If it really were a Holy Sword, would the Blood Prison Sword Saint let it go astray, not coming to Black Flame Volcano to retrieve it?
Even if the Half-demon Half-Saint had hidden it well, it might still not escape the discerning eye of a Sword Saint.
