Tang Lian glanced at Xiao Se. “Someone from Hidden River?”

“No. This person’s breath.” Xiao Se drank another cup of wine, and added faintly, “Has a sense of familiarity I can’t place.”

“I’ll go.” Lei Wujie stood up and picked up his sword. “The more he knocks, the more he sounds like an insistent ghost. It’s making me uncomfortable.”

Zhenzhu started retreating slowly. Tang Lian pulled her back another step and made her sit down, giving her a smile. “It’s all right.”

“Knock knock knock.” Another three knocks sounded on the door. Lei Wujie stopped moving and the Heart sword in his hand started vibrating with a cry.

“Huh?” Zhenzhu covered her mouth in fright. “What’s going on?”

Xiao Se poured himself another cup of wine, and said softly, "Little lady, this should be a lesson for you. Next time, don’t invite others to your home for dinner so easily, especially men you don’t know. You were born in this fishing town and don’t know about outsiders. There are many bad guys out there."

Zhenzhu looked at Lei Wujie, then at Xiao Se, and finally at Tang Lian.

Tang Lian gently knocked on the stone table with his fingers. "But you’re very lucky. We’re outsiders but we’re the good guys. But the one knocking on the door…"

Before Tang Lian finished speaking, the knocking sounds suddenly stopped. A leaf that was on the ground started to float up and suddenly, there was a figure standing in front of the door. He was tall and lean and he held a long sword. The purple robes he wore gleamed under the moonlight, bringing an indescribable gloom.

"It’s a ghost." Zhenzhu stared with wide eyes.

"Not a ghost," Xiao Se said solemnly. "Someone who specializes in catching ghosts."

Lei Wujie took a step forward and swung his sword, rolling up fallen leaves on the ground. The man in purple also lifted the long sword in his hand slowly, and intoned, "Halt!"

The fallen leaves all over the ground were suddenly torn into pieces, and the figure of the man in purple flashed across, stopping right beside Lei Wujie with his sword. Lei Wujie turned around, and the man's long sword brushed past his chest. He was in the moonlight, and he saw the purple-clothed man's sword was actually covered with talisman seals. When he raised his sword wind, the yellow talisman seals fluttered, bringing a sense of indescribable horror.

Both their swords were evenly matched. Lei Wujie turned around and murmured, "I've heard of your sword. Although it’s a famous sword, it was not included in the Register of Swords because there are too many dead souls under the sword. Its malevolence is too heavy and can only be suppressed by the talismans from the Directorate of Astronomy. The name of this sword is Abyssal Eye, and it was the sword of the founding emperor who carried it with him into battle. Who are you and how could you own this sword?"

The man in purple ignored him, and seemed to be talking to himself. "I also recognize your sword, ranked fourth among the famous swords under Heaven - Heart. Are you Li Xinyue's son?"

"So what?" Lei Wujie raised his eyebrows.

"Your swordsmanship is a far cry from the Qinglong Guardian’s." The man in purple jumped up and landed at Lei Wujie's side again. His long sword slashed down sharply, and there seemed to be a ghost crying from the blade of the sword.

"Fine! I’ll show you!" Lei Wujie smiled slightly, lifted his sword upwards, and set off a thunderstorm on the ground.

The two swords collided and Lei Wujie suddenly felt like he was falling into the Underworld. The sound of ferocious ghosts were wailing constantly in his ear and the talisman seals on the long sword were fluttering non-stop, as if something terrible was about to break free from that sword. He swung his sword with his right hand and struck a fist with his left hand.

Arhat Demon Subjugation Fist!

"This fist is a little more like it." The ghostly sounds dissipated instantly, and the man in purple lifted his sword high, scattering countless shadows of the sword under the moonlight.

"Moon Shadow Sword?" Tang Lian was taken aback. He had seen this martial arts in the hands of the killer Yue Ji. Back then, she used this swordplay to defeat Lei Wujie.

"No, it's not the Moon Shadow Sword," Xiao Se said solemnly. "This swordplay is called Shadow Moon."

"The difference between Moon Shadow and Shadow Moon is." Tang Lian raised his eyebrows and suddenly shouted, "Lei Wujie, those are not illusions!"

"I know!" Lei Wujie's eyes turned red in an instant. He swung his Heart sword and forcibly blocked the countless sword shadows. His feet sank an inch into the ground, and he was forced to retreat over ten steps by the sword aura, leaving a long ditch in the ground.

"Be careful!" Zhenzhu exclaimed. When she was a child, she heard stories about the heroes of the martial world, but this was the first time she actually saw someone fighting in such a fantastical manner. Her heart was already shocked thousands of times and she didn’t even realise what a dangerous situation she was in.

Tang Lian glanced at Xiao Se. "Should I help him?"

Xiao Se shook his head and asked, "Da-shixiong, is the soup ready?"

Tang Lian was taken aback for a moment. "It’s done. Do you want a bowl?"

"Yes, thank you." Xiao Se accepted the bowl of soup Tang Lian scooped for him. He blew over it gently and took a sip before closing his eyes to savour the taste. "It really is delicious." Lei Wujie spun his head over and glared angrily at Xiao Se. Xiao Se put down his bowl and looked at him innocently. "Young Hero Lei, go fight, ah. Your bravery is second to none, unparalleled under Heaven. Don’t tell me you can’t beat him?"

The man in purple held his sword and looked at Lei Wujie from a distance. "You and your sword that just barely entered the Unrestrained Earthly Realm will not be able to stop me."

"So, you’re an expert in the Unfettered Heavenly Realm?" Lei Wujie snorted coldly.

"Unrestrained but shackled, unfettered and I’m free. Some people believed that Ji Ruofeng's classification of the four martial arts realms was only based on the level of their martial arts. But, they are merely ignorant of the world. These four realms speak of the realm of man. My status itself is a shackle, and my sword is also a shackle, so I will never enter that Unfettered realm. But, I can use Unrestrained to kill Unfettered. That is my realm.” The man in purple spoke in a low voice, then he swung his long sword and at the tip of the sword, three talismans floated down, revealing the biting cold light of the long sword.

"Using Unrestrained to kill Unfettered!" Tang Lian was shocked. "You’re the Eunuch of Sword Jin Wei Gonggong?"

"If he wasn’t the Eunuch of Sword, who else under Heaven would have the right to use the founding Emperor’s Abyssal Eye sword?" Xiao Se sighed. "Lei Wujie, step down. You can't defeat him."

"Who says I can’t defeat him?" Lei Wujie retorted angrily.

"Among the Five Grand Eunuchs of Heavenly Revelations, apart from Eunuch Jin Xuan’s martial arts which is a cut above the rest, the other four eunuchs’ martial arts are about evenly matched. You witnessed Jin Xian’s swordsmanship at the Great Sanskrit Temple. Do you think you can defeat that? Based on your ability to enter the Heavenly Realm and immediately knock yourself out, you’d better give up." Xiao Se smirked.

Lei Wujie frowned slightly. He didn't use his full strength just now, and the few swords he had used against Jin Wei Gonggong were merely tests. He didn’t think his opponent was as strong as what he witnessed at the Great Sanskrit Temple when Jin Xian defeated Wuxin. Xiao Se seemed to have read his mind and he continued, "The sword in Jin Wei Gonggong’s hand is a shackle to suppress himself. Among the Five Grand Eunuchs, his malevolence is the strongest. The talismans on the sword are used to suppress the sword’s heart, which is to suppress his killing intent. If all the talismans are removed, then we will not be able to leave here today."

"Da-shixiong!" Lei Wujie suddenly yelled.

"What?" Tang Lian jumped a little.

"We!" Lei Wujie looked righteous and awe-inspiring. "Attack together!"

Tang Lian smiled and shook his head. "I think Jin Wei Gonggong has no ill intentions. If you don’t mind, please have a seat and join us for soup and a chat?"
