As soon as Xiang Yue said that the First Elder of the Sword Sect would arrive soon, Zhu Long noticed something different about the environment, everything seemed to feel a lot heavier, Ku w.a.n.g and Zhao Chuntao seemed to also feel the same. For some reason, the three seemed to feel like something was pressing on them and this something was gradually pressing harder and harder, Zhao Chuntao had already started to lose control of her breath, she looked like she was having a hard time breathing properly. As this pressure increased, Ku w.a.n.g had also started to feel difficulties, he also felt similarly to how Zhao Chuntao was feeling. Zhu Long also started to feel the pressure building up on him but it wasn't enough for him to feel difficult. Xiang Yue, however, looked unfazed by the pressure, Zhu Long looked surprised by Xiang Yue's expression, 'He must at least be at the Void stage… this pressure is something that only those above the void stage can resist, I can barely hang on, and by the looks of it, Brother Ku and Sister Zhao are feeling difficulties… this must be some type of test by the looks of Brother Yue… It must be the first elder of the sword sect who is conducting this test... But I wonder why he is doing this... Whatever it will take a lot more pressure to put me down, I'm ready for more!' Zhu Long felt fired up, his body started to be covered with a demonic pressure, it seemed like the pressure on him had lessened by the presence of the demonic aura. Zhu Long felt a lot more

"Impressive." A low voice reverberated in the room. Xiang You smiled wryly when he heard the voice, "Elder, you didn't need to perform the test, I'm sure that among everyone in the sect, You are the most knowledgeable about Brother Lin's strength…" A man suddenly appeared in front of everyone in the room, seemingly out of thin air, surprising everyone in the room except Xiang Yue, who seemed to have expected it. "I guess so but I couldn't help but test him… There was also another reason for me to perform this test, it is a way for me to test my disciple and Little Brother Lin's friend's strength, If I remember properly, You must be Little Brother Ku.." The First elder looked very handsome, he didn't even look much like an elder, but a middle-aged man. But no one can trust the looks of a cultivator, as they can alter their appearance into different age groups. The First Elder stood tall, but his physique wasn't that built. It was leaner than what Zhu Long had expected but that didn't fool Zhu Long, even though it was only a small amount, the aura emanating from the First Elder's body was something that Zhu Long knew he couldn't even contend with. 'It seems like the more powerful they are, the less aura I can sense from their body… I guess this could explain why I could never feel oldie's aura, no matter how much I tried to sense it.

Ku w.a.n.g looked towards the First Elder and smiled wryly, "Elder is correct, My name is, in fact, Ku w.a.n.g… And I presume elder to be Sister Zhao's master, the First Elder of the sect. But I want to ask something…" the elder nodded when he heard Ku w.a.n.g's words, "You are correct, I am the First elder of the Sword Sect, also Little Zhao's master… You can ask me anything, I shall answer if it is within my knowledge.." He humbly answered, there was no arrogance in his words. Ku w.a.n.g smiled when he heard the first elder, "Elder, were you watching us from the beginning?" The First Elder's smile froze when he heard Ku w.a.n.g's words, He then thought for a bit and then continued to smile. "Haha, Smart lad! You are in fact correct, I was watching you two since the moment you entered the sect premises. But I wasn't watching you like the way you thought, I was just keeping an eye on our guests just in case if something were to happen, I was in deep meditation so you could call it subconscious…" The First Elder replied without truthfully, he didn't have a reason to lie as he didn't have any malicious intent, in fact, he was watching over Ku w.a.n.g and Zhu Long and was ready if something bad were to happen to them…"But I didn't need to worry too much, Arena Elder was looking after you two so I stopped watching over you two…" The First elder continued to say as he smiled. From the way the Frist Elder spoke, Zhu Long had a sudden thought, 'From his way of phrasing, it seems like the arena elder is someone that even the First Elder respects… That given, now that I remember it, I didn't even feel any type of aura emanating from him… Something that only happens to stronger cultivators… Wait, Is the arena elder more powerful than the First Elder? But why would he be a normal arena supervisor if is that powerful… I‌ need to ask this question..' Zhu Long felt perplexed when this thought came in his mind. "The first elder, If you don't mind me asking, from the way that you phrased it, does it mean that the Arena elder is someone who is as powerful or even more powerful than you?" Zhu Long was straightforward with his question.

The First elder was surprised by Zhu Long's straight forward question but he laughed, 'I like this lad! It's always better to be straightforward than go around the topic.' He looked towards Zhao Chuntao, seeming to say something telepathically. Zhao Chuntao smiled and nodded and proceeded to head out of the room. The FIrst Elder then smiled mysteriously, "From what I've heard from 7th Elder, Little brother Lin probably has a special body, a body that lets oneself detect something that they like to call 'aura' from other's bodies… I've read about the type of body a long time ago and was quite surprised when I heard that someone in this generation has this type of body… I‌ had doubted this but from the way that Little Brother Lin speaks, it seems like this might be true but who knows, I might have been confused and brother Lin might not even be who I think he is, and might even be a demi-Ox Demon who has appearances of a human. There are many possibilities for a person of mystery like you… But what I can say right now is that Little Brother Lin, from the way you spoke, it seems like my first guess is the best possible, meaning that you might have already known the answer and are just asking for confirmation.." Zhu Long felt very surprised by the First Elder's words, he seemed to be rambling at first but had guessed his abilities correctly, Zhu Long could feel people's aura. But Zhu Long was also confused, he had never heard this special body before.

back, Zhu Long spoke up, "There is nothing to thank us about, My life was saved by an elder from the sword sect.. That reminds me, will you show us to the sword sect so we can thank that elder ourselves.." The man smiled wider when he heard Zhu Long's words, "Of course, I was sent here to escort you two. But before we go one our way, Let me introduce myself, I am the fifth elder of the Sword Sect, You can call me Fifth Elder as everyone calls me that. What might your names be?" Zhu Long nodded and replied, "Elder Fifth, My name is Lin Feng" He then turned towards Ku w.a.n.g. "And My name is Ku w.a.n.g, It's a pleasure to meet you, Elder Fifth." Both of them smiled as they introduced themselves to the man. "Great! Now, if you have to do anymore shopping then please complete it now. From what I've heard From Ms Song, you two will leave tomorrow morning.. The sword sect has invited you two as guests for the night, so you will get everything within the sect itself, from food to sleeping area. But I guess you two were probably planning to roam around and tour the city after coming to the sect. So I'd say that it would be better if you did so before coming with me so you two could tour the city and take in many parts of it. Our sect is a bit secretive and getting in and out is a bit difficult for anyone, including guests.." Fifth Elder said with a big smile. Zhu Long and Ku w.a.n.g looked confused, "Brother Ku, we should do some touring before we head in, might as well accept the Sword Sect's invitation.."
