<h1text-align:" center"=""><spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Chapter 1119: Why Don't You Bow?

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Lin Ying, how dare you!"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After Hong Yu's complete demise, an angry voice suddenly rang out across the scene.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Following this, a gray-robed woman appeared next to Hong Yu's corpse.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Upon seeing this woman, Lin Ying's lips curled into a cold smile.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Of course, she recognized this woman as Hong Yu's master, an Immortal King-level elder who was also considered a core figure in the Sword Land.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Lin Ying had intended to kill Hong Yu, and the woman had seen it. However, in her view, even if Hong Yu couldn't defeat Lin Ying, she should have been able to save herself.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Unexpectedly, Lin Ying's sudden burst of power was so overwhelming that she couldn't even intervene in time to save Hong Yu.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Bai Lingfeng, who gave you the courage to talk to me like that?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Seeing that Hong Yu's master, Bai Lingfeng, had stepped forward to confront her, and feeling the pressure of an Immortal King's aura bearing down on her, Lin Ying wasn't the least bit afraid. Instead, her lips curled into a cold smile.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, Lin Ying's words caused the entire square to fall silent once again.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Everyone looked at Lin Ying with confusion in their eyes.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even though Bai Lingfeng wasn't Lin Ying's master, she was undoubtedly a senior figure.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Moreover, an Immortal King level cultivator was a pillar of strength in any faction.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">For Lin Ying to speak to her in such a manner... was she defying the natural order?

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Lin Ying's strength must have come from a great fortune.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">She has likely received the recognition of an ancestor within the Sword Qi Corridor, who passed on their power to her through a remnant soul.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even if she can firmly secure her position as one of the Ten Great Holy Maidens, speaking to Elder Bai in such a manner is still inappropriate, isn't it?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Moreover, killing Senior Sister Hong Yu in front of everyone, even if there was enmity between them, is something the sect would never allow. After all, this is no longer the Sword Qi Corridor."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Once the Third Elder emerges, this alone will be enough to ensure that she can never recover.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even the sword master might not be able to say anything in her defense. She's essentially handing a knife to the Third Elder to use against her."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"..."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In the square, many of the core disciples of Sword Land frowned as they discussed the situation.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Their glances at Lin Ying were filled with pity.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even though they believed that Lin Ying's potential was immense, they were certain that she was doomed.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Yet, Lin Ying remained calm, her gaze sweeping across the surrounding void.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Who is the current Sword Master? I think it's time for you to show yourself."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As soon as she finished speaking, that strange aura around her began to rise once more.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At times, she seemed very close; at other times, she seemed far away. Sometimes, it was as if she didn't exist at all.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even though they knew that she was right in front of them, no one could lock onto her presence.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In the era when the Shadow Sword Immortal roamed freely, she was the most outstanding assassin.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In the history of the Sword Land, her name was written in bold strokes.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Now that her aura had emerged, many of the Sword Land's elders' expressions instantly changed.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"This aura... could it be the legendary Shadow Sword Immortal!

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">I knew there was something strange about Lin Ying's aura earlier.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">So she has inherited the Shadow Sword Immortal's legacy.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Over the years, many talented disciples of our Sword Land have cultivated dark attributes to inherit the legacy of the Shadow Sword Immortal.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Yet, all of them failed.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As a result, most people have forgotten about the Shadow Sword Immortal."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"The way Lin Ying spoke to Bai Lingfeng just now... could it be that this isn't just a simple inheritance? Could it be that the Immortal Shadow Sword has returned?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"..."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As this possibility dawned on them, the other Immortal King-level elders who hadn't entered the Sword Qi Corridor with the Grand Elder all felt a shock run through them.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Their breaths turned rapid.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Those who had cultivated to this level were no fools.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">They immediately understood the key point.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Meanwhile, in a corner of the void, Li Lingxi couldn't help but look at the Sword Master.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Sword Master, this aura... it really doesn't seem like that little girl from before.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Could it really be as they say? Is this the reincarnation of the legendary Shadow Sword Immortal?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Li Lingxi was also the leader of a super faction. She could see the signs now and immediately understood the meaning of the Sword Master's earlier words.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">When he said that he knew what the true treasure within the Sword Qi Corridor was, he was referring to the reincarnated ancient powerhouse.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Upon hearing this, the Sword Master's lips curled into a smile.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"That's right. Moreover, Sect Master Li, take a closer look at the person beside the Shadow Sword Immortal."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As he spoke, the Sword Master's expression couldn't help but become somewhat fervent.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Seeing the Sword Master's demeanor, Li Lingxi became even more curious.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">She turned her gaze toward Zhang Xiu.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this moment, Zhang Xiu's aura was concealed, but her demeanor was incredibly composed.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The aura of a superior being emanating from her was even more natural and impressive than that of Li Lingxi and the others.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Sword Master, could it be... could it be that she is also a reincarnated ancient powerhouse of the Sword Land?

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">From the looks of it, she seems to be even stronger than the Shadow Sword Immortal".

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The Sword Master nodded. "She carries a hint of Saintess Qing Yue's aura, but more than that, she is the Zhang Xiu that Su Jingzhen has been searching for. Sect Master Li, do you understand now?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Li Lingxi was stunned for a moment.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But then she quickly grasped the key point in the sword master's words.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Zhang Xiu, the Sword Spirit Body!

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"The Sword Spirit Body! This is... the Ancient Sword Ancestor!"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Li Lingxi took a deep breath.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The reincarnation of the Ancient Sword Ancestor was a matter of immense importance with far-reaching consequences.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">It would have a profound effect on the world itself.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Sword Master, is this... is this real?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even though she was already convinced in her heart, Li Lingxi couldn't help but ask once again.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"It is real.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The Sword Ancestor has been planning to return for a long time. She was just waiting for the right opportunity.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In fact, it was all destined to happen from the moment the Emperor's Realm was connected to the cultivation world.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Besides, the people returning from the Emperor Realm aren't just the Sword Ancestor and the Shadow Sword Immortal."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As he spoke, the Sword Master's gaze turned toward the sky.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Of course, it's not just the Emperor Realm and the cultivation world either."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">...

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">While the Sword Master and Li Lingxi were talking, Bai Lingfeng, who was standing in front of Lin Ying - or rather, the Shadow Sword Immortal - looked more and more uncertain.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Her expression became more and more solemn.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"You are not Lin Ying. Who are you?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Lin Ying's lips curled into another cold smile. "Are you afraid?

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Don't you already have the answer in your heart?

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">So, Bai Lingfeng, why do you not bow before me?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As she spoke, the strange aura around her grew even more intense.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">She began to exude an overwhelming sense of authority.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even though her aura was a full major realm weaker than Bai Lingfeng's, her presence completely overshadowed the elder.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"You... you... the shadow..."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Bai Lingfeng instinctively took a few steps back.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Clearly, she was intimidated by Lin Ying's presence.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At the same time, she was also filled with fear.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After all, the reputation of an ancient powerhouse was no small matter. Now that such a figure stood before her, how could she not be terrified?

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this moment, an old and furious voice suddenly echoed across the square.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Lin Ying, how dare you!

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">How dare you defy your superiors!"
