Chapter 27

After obtaining the Twelve Lightning Swords, Yushinyun naturally had a question arise in his mind.

The question was why, despite having such an outstanding martial art, it had not been passed down to later generations.

And he was able to learn the details from Wang San without much difficulty.

It was not that the successor had died in an accident, nor that the martial art book had been stolen by an enemy.

It was simply that You Yilang had never intended to pass on his martial art to future generations.

At the time, everyone, including his family, begged him to change his mind, but he did not yield in the slightest.

You Yilang held firm to his decision until the end of his life.

As a result, no one knew the reason behind his choice.

Some speculated cautiously that perhaps he had wished for the Baiyun Escort Agency to remain an escort agency rather than a martial arts family.

Because of this, the Twelve Lightning Swords held a special significance for the members of the Baiyun Escort Agency.

It was not just a powerful martial art from the past; it was a pride, a dignity, and a history etched in their hearts, not just their minds.

Therefore, for the successor to have mastered the Twelve Lightning Swords meant...

'It is equivalent to holding the strongest card that can overcome any justification.'

A faint smile appeared on Yushinyun's lips at that moment.

Just then, Dao Jinwu finally spoke with a trembling voice to Yushinyun.

"Are you truly continuing the legacy of Investigator You Yilang?"

Yushinyun, who had been watching him with a solemn attitude, nodded confidently and replied.

"Yes."

"Ah!"

"How can this be!"

Dao Jinwu and Luo Daixiong gasped simultaneously.

Their pupils were shaking as if an earthquake had struck.

Of course, this entire story was a complete fabrication by Yushinyun.

However, given that he had perfectly healed Dao Jinwu, who was on the brink of death, and that they had witnessed the Twelve Lightning Swords firsthand, they could not harbor any doubts.

Numerous thoughts flooded their minds, which could not easily be calmed.

There was a sense of guilt for not realizing that the master was being poisoned, and a deep sorrow for the master who had sacrificed his life to save his son despite his illness.

Tears streamed down their tightly closed eyes.

'...I am sorry, Master. You searched for the martial art with your ailing body, even without informing the gods.'

'Ah, I, Luo Daixiong. This unworthy one will repay you, even after death.'

Yushinyun silently watched them without a word.

Their grief was genuine, and their loyalty and sincerity towards You Huo're was palpable.

At that moment, Yushinyun quietly paid tribute to You Huo're in his heart.

'I am sorry for adding falsehoods to your life. ...However, I will avenge you and your son properly as recompense for that.'

As Yushinyun made this vow, the two men were gradually regaining control of their emotions and slowly opened their eyes.

Their pupils slowly focused on Yushinyun, who now appeared to be a completely different person.

'...To have hidden his claws and waited for the right moment amidst countless dangers all this time.'

'Ah, they say to survive in the martial world, one must hide 30% of one's true strength... Scholar Yi concealed even more than that.'

A heavy silence lingered for quite some time.

But soon, Dao Jinwu, who had thought of something, spoke cautiously.

"Is there anything else Master left for us?"

Yushinyun paused for a moment before answering.

"Yes."

"What is it?"

The fact that You Huo're had left a message for them deepened the tension on their faces.

Yushinyun spoke in a low voice.

"He asked us to set the escort agency right."

"Ah!"

"...Master."

Yushinyun's words made the two men gasp.

What could it mean to set the escort agency right?

It must mean to make You Jinshang, the mastermind behind all these evil deeds, pay for his crimes.

Even though he had tried to kill the master, the bond between father and son could not be severed...

They realized the master's great resolve before his death.

Soon, an indescribable rage began to flicker in their eyes.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Their inner energy began to surge, causing the table, chairs, and other objects to shake and make loud noises.

Naturally, it was a rage directed at You Jinshang.

"You don't need to say it; I can already guess your answer."

'Ah!'

'Oh!'

The two men were startled and quickly reined in their energy.

Releasing inner energy indiscriminately was not only impolite but also dangerous.

Dao Jinwu, who had reached the peak of the highest level, could inadvertently injure someone without realizing it.

They quickly checked Yushinyun's condition, alarmed.

However,

'Hmm?'

'...He's fine?'

Yushinyun's complexion showed no signs of discomfort.

In this perplexing situation, Yushinyun continued.

"Now, it's time to talk about the final arrangements left by your father..."

There was more to what You Huo're had left behind than just the Twelve Lightning Swords!

Yushinyun's words made the two men's eyes widen to the point of bursting.

"However, before I tell you this, there is something I need to clarify with you."

Clarify?

The two men's faces showed confusion at Yushinyun's cryptic words.

Just then,

Boom! Bang!

"!"

"!"

An unknown, mysterious force erupted from Yushinyun's entire body, as if gunpowder had exploded.

Rumble!

The entire room began to shake as if it were about to collapse.

The vibrations caused by Dao Jinwu and Luo Daixiong earlier felt like a child's play in comparison.

The energy Yushinyun had hidden until now burst forth, overwhelming the entire space.

Dao Jinwu and Luo Daixiong were so shocked that their mouths hung open.

'Unbelievable power! This is the Wall-Breaking Art!'

'An extremely fierce yet crystal-clear energy! Can such power really exist in this world!'

Their reactions were understandable.

The force emanating from Yushinyun's body was not just one.

Negative mana.

Donghua Immortal Art, Shen Yun Style.

Wall-Breaking Art.

Three immensely powerful energies were raging like a storm.

'No, could this really be the unruly Scholar Yi?'

They were completely at a loss.

They had received too many shocks in a short period.

'Such pure inner energy...'

In his entire life, Dao Jinwu had only seen such energy from one person.

A young swordsman who had joined their caravan by chance and helped them when they were attacked by a mysterious group 30 years ago.

He had since become a great master leading the White Path.

'...The Wulin Alliance Leader, Sword Emperor Tan Chuanjun.'

That was him.

The unique energy he had felt from the young man was now emanating from Yushinyun.

Finally, Yushinyun spoke.

"Dao Jinwu, Baiyun Pavilion Master; Luo Daixiong, Houyun Pavilion Master. I will not speak at length."

The two men looked at him with awe.

Then,

"Follow me!"

Their master issued the command.

Thud!

Thud!

"Dao Jinwu, Baiyun Pavilion Master. I see you, Master."

"Luo Daixiong, Houyun Pavilion Master. I will serve you loyally."

The subordinates knelt on one knee and pledged their loyalty.

Their eyes, hidden by bowed heads, were filled with emotion.

At that moment, the two men's thoughts were in perfect harmony.

It was this:

'Without a doubt, due to Young Master Shen Yun, the Baiyun Escort Agency will surely soar to greater heights!'

They were confident that the Baiyun Escort Agency's reputation would soon shake the continent beyond Zhejiang.

Satisfaction was evident in Yushinyun's eyes as he looked at them.

'Three, then.'

Starting with Wang San, he had already gained three trustworthy subordinates.

Compared to his solitary life in his previous incarnation, this was a remarkable change.

'Maybe I am changing a bit in this new world.'

It was a strange but not unpleasant feeling.

As Yushinyun thought this,

Huh.

'...Wait a moment.'

For some reason, a glint appeared in Yushinyun's eyes.

His gaze briefly shifted to a spot before returning inconspicuously.

Yushinyun said to the two men in front of him,

"Stand up now."

"Understood!"

The two men answered simultaneously and rose in unison.

Yushinyun continued,

"I would like to celebrate Dao Pavilion Master's recovery and our resolve with a toast, but..."

Boom!

Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly leaped up to the ceiling.

The two men, taken aback by the sudden situation, could only blink.

A short, agonized scream followed.

Boom!

A dark figure fell from the beam to the floor.

"!"

A black-clad figure, face covered by a mask, lay on the ground, groaning in pain.

Yushinyun, landing lightly, pressed his foot on the black-clad figure's chest and said,

"It seems we have an uninvited guest."

"Ugh!"

Seeing the black-clad figure subdued by Yushinyun, Dao Jinwu and Luo Daixiong felt their hair stand on end.

'When did he hide there?'

It seemed the figure had been hiding directly above them, but they had not sensed any presence until now.

If Yushinyun had not noticed, they might have been ambushed.

'With this level of stealth...'

It was undoubtedly a professional assassin, capable of deceiving even the senses of a peak expert.

"What kind of scum!"

Luo Daixiong, his anger boiling, stepped forward and tore off the black-clad figure's mask.

"You, you!"

"...My God!"

The two men could not hide their shock at the revealed face.

It was a familiar face.

A top-ranked escort from the Red Cloud Pavilion, with whom they had shared hardships for over a decade.

Yushinyun's story had been proven true.

Yushinyun pressed harder with his foot, his eyes cold.

"Tell your master immediately that I am coming for his head."

But there was no response.

"..."

"Gasp!"

The Red Cloud Pavilion escort, pinned down, began foaming at the mouth.

Luo Daixiong, rushing to his side, quickly pressed acupoints, but the man's pupils were already losing their light.

He had apparently bitten a hidden blood pill.

Boom!

"Ah-!"

At that moment, cries and the clashing of weapons began to echo from all around the escort agency.

"Fine, I'll deliver the message myself."

Swish!

Yushinyun slowly drew his sword.
