Chapter 77: Return to Eagle Nest Castle

  Yan Zhen's killing intent burst forth: "How strong is Eagle Blood now?"

  Yan Yini said: "He just broke through to the fourth layer of the foundation building boundary not long ago."

  "Is the foundation laid for the fourth boundary? Then we can set off now, I'll go and fetch him." Yan Zhen said viciously.

  "Are you not the Threefold Foundation Boundary?" Yanzhi Yin was taken aback.

  "The three-layered foundation can also surpass the four-layered foundation." Yan Zhen said with a fierce tone, "If I don't kill Eagle Blood, it will be hard to dispel this hatred."

  "Really? Then let's give it a try." Yanzhi carefully considered and decided to give it a shot.

  "Alright." Yan Zhen nodded.

  Yan Zhen's hand pressed on the hilt of his sword, Yan Zhen was indeed a fire of hatred burning.

  Yan Yini's hand was also placed on the hilt of the sword, and Yan Yini had also put away his usual frivolity.

  Yan Zhen only saw Yan Yiniu's sword attacking instantly, such a fast sword. Yan Zhen secretly praised in his heart that it was so fast, but he didn't feel tense at all, and countered with a single sword. In the process of counterattacking, Yan Zhen also sensed that Yan Yiniu's cultivation should be at the fifth level of foundation building, this battle is not going to be easy, but Yan Zhen didn't have any tension, instead he was full of confidence.

  Swallow comes out with sword, returns with sword, guards with sword, and defends with sword.

  Swallow true attack, defense, dodge, and then attack again.

  Yan Zhen exerted all his life's skills to exchange blows with Yan Yini, and they fought for fifty-five rounds in a row. Yan Yini laughed: "I won't fight anymore."

  "Oh, has the experiment come out?" Yan Zhen smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth.

  "It's been proven, Eagle Blood that old man is absolutely no match for you." Yan Yin Yi laughed.

  "Then we can set off now and go kill that old man, Eagle Bloodless." Yan Zhen's eyebrows rose again, the killing intent reappearing: "Eagle Bloodless, you'd better wash your neck clean and wait for us."

  "Alright, let's set off now." Yan Jinyi also nodded in agreement, for Yan Zhen's actual strength was indeed sufficient.

  Ma Shang Yan Iron Clothes, Lin Xiang tidied up her clothes, and Yan Zhen also packed up her clothes early. Together with Yan Jin Yi and Yan Yin Yi, they headed towards Eagle Swallow Fortress.

  ……

  Five days later.

  Yan Jinyi, Yan Yinyi, Yan Tieyi, Lin Ying, and Yan Zhen, the five of them arrived at the front of Eagle Swallow Fortress.

  Yan Iron Robe gazed at Eagle Swallow Fortress, his current expression was very strange. Twenty years ago, he was driven out of Eagle Swallow Fortress, and at that time, he had thought that once he passed the fifteen-year mark, he would return to Eagle Swallow Fortress and definitely have extremely high cultivation, returning home in glory. However, his strength over the years had been stuck at the ninth level of Qi Refining, unable to break through. His fantasy of having extremely profound cultivation and returning home in glory had not appeared at all. Now, was he finally going to return to Eagle Swallow Fortress? The old affairs from more than twenty years ago flashed by one after another, and Yan Iron Robe felt a bit of homesickness.

  Lin Xiang also knew her husband's mood at this time, but she didn't say much either.

  Yan Zhen was also sizing up the Eagle Swallow Castle, Yan Zhen saw the sign at the entrance of the castle, an eagle on the left and a swallow on the right. He couldn't help but stare blankly for a moment, is this really the Eagle Swallow Castle? It's indeed majestic enough, and it's no wonder that it can be compared to the level of power of the Xiu Xian City. Of course, compared to the Qing Feng Xian Men on the Wind Cloud Mountain, which is shrouded in clouds and mist, these powers are nothing but a fart, the pattern is far inferior. These castles and pools, after all, are just showing off their might in the mortal world, while the Wind Cloud Mountain where the Qing Feng Xian Men is located is a spiritual mountain with a hint of detachment from the world.

  Yan Jinyi said: "This is Eagle Swallow Fortress, let's go in."

  As the next five people arrived at the front gate of Eagle Swallow Fortress, they only discovered the grandeur of Eagle Hero when they approached. Many strong men were standing at the gate, all of whom were cultivators in the initial stage of Qi Refining. Just as they were about to enter the fortress, several people walked out from inside. The leader was around forty years old with a blood-red scar on his face. When Yan Zhen saw this scar, he immediately thought that this must be Eagle No Blood, the man who had wronged his father for most of his life.

  Eagle Bloodless was also unintentionally out, and happened to bump into Yan Jinyi's group of five. As for Yan Jinyi, Yan Yinyin, he had long been familiar with them, so he didn't pay attention. However, Eagle Bloodless' eyes immediately fell on Yan Tieyi's head.

  The eagle's bloodless eyes also flashed with several colors, including pride, hatred and destruction, but eventually all the colors disappeared, and his face returned to calm: "If I'm not mistaken, this should be Yan Tieyi, Brother Yan."

  Yan Tieyi's eyes also

  His face flashed with various expressions, including hatred and pleasure. Twenty years of hatred passed like an arrow through his heart, finally turning into a seemingly calm sentence: "Twenty years without seeing each other, Eagle Blood Eagle brother, how have you been lately?"

  Twenty years later, Eagle Blood and Swallow Iron Clothes finally met again.

  The eagle's face was cold and bloodless as he smiled, and he didn't need to exchange any pleasantries with Yan Tieyi: "Twenty years ago, you stole the Eagle Clan's killing technique and were expelled from the fortress for fifteen years. Is the thief who stole the book finally coming back?"

  Yan Tiejia's face turned red with rage: "You!" Yan Tiejia usually attached great importance to his reputation, but Eagle Blood was deliberately bringing up that past incident to attack him, leaving Yan Tiejia at a loss. Book thief! Book thief!

  Yan Zhen couldn't help but laugh: "Oh father, is this Eagle Blood?"

  Yan Tiejing nodded: "Right, it's this person."

  The eagle, Bloodless, had heard that Yan Zhen was actually the son of Yan Tieyi. He also knew about Yan Zhen's true identity. Previously, he had occasionally looked up information on Yan Tieyi's son and found out that Yan Zhen was a person with poor talent and not diligent, just an ordinary person. Therefore, Bloodless did not have any targeted plans to deal with Yan Zhen. Seeing Yan Zhen come here now, Bloodless felt pleased in his heart. "You're just a mediocre child, I didn't plan on harming you," he thought, "but since you've delivered yourself to my doorstep looking for death, don't blame me." Bloodless said in a low voice, "That's right, it's me."

  Yan Zhen nodded, with a look of sudden realization: "So it was you who stole the book."

  The eagle was taken aback: "How did I become a book thief? Haven't you figured it out, little devil? Your father is the real book thief."

  Yan Zhen involuntarily let out a cry of surprise: "My father is a book thief, how did I not know?"

  The eagle looked at Yan Tieyi with a bloodless smile: "Twenty years ago, your father Yan Tieyi stole the Eagle Family's Eagle Slaying Technique manual. He was caught red-handed and all the evidence is still there. How dare you say that your father wasn't a book thief? You are the son of a book thief." After he finished saying this, Yan Tieyi's expression became even more unsightly, which made him even more pleased.

  Yan Zhen was taken aback: "I'll ask you something, if my uncle, Yan Jinyi, one of the two deputy masters of Eagle and Swallow Fortress, with his profound magical powers, wanted to put a secret book in your room without you even noticing, could he do it?"

  The eagle was taken aback for a moment, while Yan Jin Yi nodded: "Of course it can be done."

  "That's right, Uncle. After a few months, put a secret book in Yiwu Xue's room and catch the thief again. Yiwu Xue must be the book thief." Yan Zhen said resolutely.

  "Eagle's eyes widened in shock: 'You, you, you framed me.'"

  "It's easy to frame someone. Twenty years ago, my father was framed as a book thief, and now it's just as easy to frame you. "Yan Zhen sneered: "So Eagle Blood, you're also a book thief? I'm really disappointed, really disappointed."

  Twenty years ago, Yan Tieyi's affair was something that even jumping into the Yellow River couldn't wash clean. Yan Tieyi had always wanted to wash it away but couldn't. What Yan Zhen did was different; he didn't help his father Yan Tieyi clear up this matter either, instead, he pulled more people down into the muddy waters. Upon hearing this, Yan Jinyi also couldn't help but smile wryly.

  But the eagle was speechless, and Yan Jinyi really had no choice but to be a book thief. He could only curse in hatred: "You little thief, sharp-toothed and sharp-tongued."

  "You old scoundrel, you're old but not dead yet." Yan Zhen shot back with a curse, showing no weakness.

  The eagle looked at Yan Tieyi with bloodless eyes: "You really taught a good son."

  "Of course, this is my father's skill. If you don't bring out your son to compare with me, I will completely surpass him in every aspect." Yan Zhen said disdainfully: "Of course, if we are comparing who can eat more Wushi San, I am far inferior. I heard that your son often eats Wushi San and is quite skilled at it." Wushi San was a common spiritual poison in the cultivation world. Once eaten, one would feel as if they were floating on air. Some cultivators, bored out of their minds, would eat Wushi San for fun. Eagle Blood's son eating Wushi San for no reason was something Yan Zhen had heard from Yan Silver Clothes, and now bringing it up hit a sore spot for Eagle Blood.

  Yan Jinyi, Yan Yinyi, Yan Tieyi, and Lin Ying were all staring blankly at the scene before them. They had no idea that Yan Zhen was so skilled in verbal sparring, with a poisonous tongue that left Eagle Wu breathless and shouting. This was indeed a remarkable skill.
