A voice that was filled with respect and reverence sounded behind him. "Young Master Chen, what in the world is going on?"
As it turned out, Prefectural Overseer Liu had finally come to his senses.
In terms of matters regarding mountain gods, river gods, ghosts, and demons, Liu Gaohua could only learn about them through supernatural novels and the notes of literati. Moreover, he could only learn very little. However, it was a completely different case for his father, Prefectural Overseer Liu. He was a high-ranking official who looked after an entire prefecture, after all, and Blusher Prefecture was also one of the largest prefectures in Colorful Garment Nation.
Thus, Prefectural Overseer Liu had already learned about many secrets a long time ago. At the very least, he was definitely aware of the matters pertaining to the city gods, mountain gods, and river gods of the provinces and prefectures. Indeed, officials from the Ministry of Rites would especially explain these mystical things to the high-ranking officials of the local areas.
Chen Ping'an stabilized his sea of Qi a little and tied his Sword Nurturing Gourd to his waist. He turned around to look at Prefectural Overseer Liu, and he couldn't help but hesitate.
His victory had been a very dangerous one. In reality, he had already reached his limit after battling against the ghosts and gods in the city god pavilion and drawing a talisman for the little girl. However, he didn't need to expend spiritual energy to control his two unique flying swords like ordinary Qi refiners did, and this allowed him to summon them from his Sword Nurturing Gourd to attack his enemies. It was also because of this that the scorpion lady's meticulously prepared Embracing Snow Barrier had been completely useless against him.
Even so, controlling First and Fifteenth would still consume his mental energy. In other words, if Pagoda Leader Dou from Case Purchasing Pagoda hadn't fled in fear, it was very likely that Chen Ping'an would have been killed by him. Or perhaps the two of them would have severely wounded each other. If that happened, not only would Chen Ping'an's bridge of immortality be shattered, but even his newfound martial arts path might have been obliterated due to irreparable damage to his body and soul.
Chen Ping'an couldn't come up with an immediate explanation for Prefectural Overseer Liu regarding this situation. After all, this pertained to far too many secrets. Fortunately, Prefectural Overseer Liu didn't try to press him for answers after seeing the troubled expression on his face.
Immortals from the mountains also had many rules and taboos when they traveled through the mortal world. Naturally, Prefectural Overseer Liu had this much common sense. He simply needed to confirm that the young sword immortal in front of him was an ally. Wasn't he Liu Gaohua's friend? This was enough!
