Chapter 698: The Heavenly Sword Reappears at the Divine Water Palace

Glorious, magnificent, dazzling, and splendid...

Though it was just a beam of sword light, under the moonlight it constantly transformed, as if a thousand techniques were being unleashed in a single moment, painting a radiant and awe-inspiring scene.

The onlookers were not inexperienced, yet they could all swear that they had never seen such beautiful swordsmanship in their lives.

The less experienced disciples of the Divine Water Palace were even more captivated, their eyes filled with adoration as they gazed at the heavenly sword.

Only Yin Ji and Chu Liuxiang could see the true terror behind the sword technique.

Just as Chu Liuxiang's eyes were filled with the sword light, the dazzling sword curtain, like a blooming lotus, had completely enveloped the black-clad figure.

In the next moment, the transforming sword light suddenly stopped, leaving only a cold, gleaming longsword. One end was held by Jin Banhua, the other piercing the black-clad figure's throat.

"Huh... huh..."

The black-clad figure stared at Jin Banhua, his already bloodshot eyes turning lifeless, filled with disbelief, anger, and despair.

"What are you looking at?" Jin Banhua pouted. "Yi Dianhong made you out to be such a formidable opponent that I was fooled too. We were so scared we ran away without a second thought. If I had known you were just a silver-tipped spear, I would have skewered you outside."

The black-clad figure turned to Yi Dianhong, his gaze strange and tinged with mockery.

Yi Dianhong's mouth twitched, but his face remained expressionless.

Then the black-clad figure died.

Before he died, he straightened his mask, believing that whether it was the Water Mother Yin Ji, Chu Liuxiang, or Jin Banhua, they would give him this final respect.

Jin Banhua did not lift the mask but sheathed her sword and bowed to the surrounding women. "Thank you, fair ladies, for your assistance."

"Thank you, Palace Master, for wounding him first, allowing me to strike the final blow," Jin Banhua said with a smile, turning to Yin Ji.

Palace Master...

The crowd couldn't help but chuckle. They could call Chu Liuxiang a middle-aged thief and Nangong Ling a beggar boss, but when it came to Yin Ji, the Water Mother, the title sounded much more respectful.

The Divine Water Palace disciples looked at Jin Banhua with warmer eyes, some even with adoration.

High martial arts, beautiful appearance, and a pleasing voice... who could resist such a man?

But Yin Ji was unmoved, her tone still cool. "Impressive sword technique."

"Of course it's impressive!" Jin Banhua resumed her smug demeanor, even giving a thumbs-up in the air.

"This technique is called the Heavenly Sword. My master, who taught me this, is like a celestial being, renowned in the capital, and even challenged the imperial palace. He once dueled at the peak of the Forbidden City and fought in the Southern Study, not even fearing the emperor."

The crowd was speechless.

Song Tian'er remarked, "When will he ever stop boasting?"

Liu Wumei smiled bitterly. "Sometimes, I can't tell if he's boasting or telling the truth."

Li Yuhuan shrank back, whispering, "Is Jin really not afraid of the Water Mother Yin Ji?"

At this moment, Yin Ji turned to Jin Banhua.

But Jin Banhua turned to Chu Liuxiang. "Have you explained everything to Palace Master?"

Chu Liuxiang smiled bitterly. "I have."

Chu Liuxiang had followed Gong Nanyan and secretly infiltrated the Divine Water Palace. When Yin Ji captured Hu Tiehua and the others, he hid in Yin Ji's bedroom cabinet and discovered that Yin Ji and Gong Nanyan were a couple, and that Yin Ji had once had a relationship with Xiong Niangzi, even having a daughter together.

Next, Yin Ji mistakenly believed that Chu Liuxiang was Xiong Nuzhi, and spoke about how Situ Jing had been harmed by Wu Hua. Only then did Chu Liuxiang realize that Yin Ji had merely intended to use him as a scapegoat.

Thinking about this, Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but glance at Liu Wumei and then at Jin Banhua, feeling puzzled.

Just like in the original story, he wanted to tempt Yin Ji into revealing more information, so he deliberately mentioned Liu Wumei. However, Yin Ji claimed that Liu Wumei had not been poisoned, which contradicted both Liu Wumei's own statements and Jin Banhua's assessment.

This only added to Chu Liuxiang's confusion, and it also led to Yin Ji uncovering his true identity. If not for the exchange of Xiong Nuzhi's whereabouts for a fair duel with Yin Ji, he might still be locked in the stone chest at the bottom of the lake.

"Since everything is clear now, there's no problem, right?" Jin Banhua said with a smile.

Li Yuhan, Liu Wumei, and the others also breathed a sigh of relief.

But Chu Liuxiang's smile turned more bitter. "No, there's still a problem."

"What problem?" Jin Banhua asked.

"The problem of you intruding into the Divine Water Palace," Gong Nanyan stepped forward, her eyes cold as she stared at the group. "You broke into the Divine Water Palace and still think you can leave alive?"

Gong Nanyan glanced at Chu Liuxiang and then at Liu Wumei. "Worthless!"

Jin Banhua and Chu Liuxiang's eyes both lit up, and they had their suspicions.

Yin Ji, who had been silent the entire time, now looked at Gong Nanyan with a complex expression when she spoke.

Jin Banhua raised his hand and said, "We didn't intrude. We were forced in by those black-cloaked assassins. We have a clear grievance, so if you kill them, let us leave."

The black-cloaked assassins looked at Jin Banhua as if he were a devil.

This man, who was so skilled with the sword, didn't fight them outside but instead lured them into the Divine Water Palace, ensuring they had no escape and would suffer a torturous death.

Hearing Jin Banhua's words, Yin Ji's gaze returned to him.

"Do you want to leave?" Yin Ji asked.

Jin Banhua blinked and looked around, taking in the sight of the young, beautiful maidens, each with their own unique charm.

"Actually... not really," Jin Banhua said with a hopeful smile. "The environment here is beautiful, the scenery is stunning, and the fairy sisters are lovely and kind. If the Palace Master agrees, I'd like to stay here for a while."

The others: 〣(Δ)〣

Yin Ji's eyes finally showed a hint of surprise, which quickly turned to coldness. "You're very confident in your sword skills."

"Of course, my masters are all world-class experts!" Jin Banhua didn't look away, and even started to flirt with a young, beautiful maiden from the Divine Water Palace. "But they all seem to have trouble with their love lives. It seems even the greatest experts can be troubled by love."

Yin Ji's eyes narrowed, and a cold light flickered in them.

"Fortunately, I don't have that problem," Jin Banhua said with a raised eyebrow. "I usually get along well with pretty young ladies and am particularly good at handling emotional issues. I've helped several of my masters resolve their life problems and find happiness."

Yin Ji glared at Jin Banhua, her eyes burning with growing anger.

Chu Liuxiang took a deep breath, feeling a shiver run down his spine. He wanted to stop Jin Banhua from continuing, knowing that if he did, Yin Ji's primary target might shift to someone else.
