As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Everyone turned their eyes to Master Xuanhe, wanting to see how he would respond.

Master Xuanhe had a blank expression on his face. He glanced at the red knife indifferently, and a hint of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

He spoke slowly, his voice carrying an unquestionable authority.

"Zhan Hongyi, what do you mean? Do you think you can scare me with a knife?"

Zhan Hongyi smiled slightly and said indifferently.

"Master Xuanhe has misunderstood. I didn't mean that. It's just that this knife is indeed a little special. I would like to take this opportunity to ask Master Xuanhe for advice."

Master Xuanhe snorted coldly.

"In that case, I will accept it. However, I will seal this sword to prevent it from causing harm to the world again."

After saying that, Master Xuan He stretched out his hand and the red knife flew into his hand out of thin air.

Master Xuan He flipped his hand, and a golden light surged out from his palm, instantly wrapping the red knife.

Then he handed the red knife to a disciple beside him and gave instructions.

"Seal this sword in the Hidden Sword Pavilion. No one is allowed to touch it without my permission."

But something surprising was discovered.

The red knife shook slightly, breaking the golden light. No matter how much strength Xuan He Zhenren used, he could not collect the knife in his palm.

The knife froze in mid-air, and the stalemate continued. After a while, the blade turned.

The sharp blade was pointed directly at his head, less than half an inch away from his forehead.

This scene shocked all the disciples present, and they cried out in surprise.

They wanted to go forward to save Master Xuanhe, but he stopped them by waving his hand.

Master Xuanhe looked solemn.

He knew that this red knife was no ordinary item and the power contained within it was far beyond his imagination.

He took a deep breath and used all his strength to try to suppress the red knife.

However, just when he was about to succeed, the red knife suddenly burst out with a powerful aura, which directly shocked him and made him retreat repeatedly.

Master Xuanhe's expression changed. He knew that the red knife was beyond his control. If he tried to suppress it by force, it might lead to unpredictable consequences.

So he decisively withdrew his hand.

The red knife also stopped attacking and floated quietly in the air.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, but their fear of the bloody knife became even greater.

Zhan Hongyi looked at this scene, with a hint of pride in his eyes.

He said calmly: "Master Xuanhe is indeed a master in the realm of master. However, I would like to remind you that the power of this sword is far from being fully exerted."

"Perhaps from another perspective, I don't need three swords to kill you."

"After all, Master Xuanhe is old and has barely broken through to the Master realm this time. I cannot set too many high standards for him."

This statement was completely merciless, and Master Xuanhe's face turned ashen.

However, Xuanhe Zhenren also knew that now was the time when his Zhenren Ceremony was about to be completed. There were many Taoist friends around him, and he must not be laughed at by others.

Master Xuanhe looked at Zhan Hongyi deeply and said in a deep voice.

"I hope you won't use this method to test my bottom line again."

"I'm not testing you, but you really are not qualified yet."

When these words were spoken, everyone's face changed drastically.

There was a hint of disdain in Zhan Hongyi's tone, his strength was still not enough for him to take seriously.

Master Xuan He frowned, he knew that this contest was not only a contest of strength, but also a contest of character.

"The reason I came here today is actually for another person, Ye Yang, an expert in both swordsmanship and sabering."

"Haha, what a majestic presence."

After finishing speaking, Zhan Hongyi raised his eyebrows, looked at Ye Yang who was standing next to Master Xuanhe, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Master Ye, you have to give an explanation for killing people from our Haitian Chamber of Commerce."

"Kill him if you want. What explanation do you need?"

Ye Yang could tell that Zhan Hongyi had a bad background. It must be that the Haitian Chamber of Commerce had discovered that he had killed Master Huayang of the Haitian Chamber of Commerce.

"What a good way to kill someone. Why would I need any explanation? Then if I killed Master Ye, do I not need any explanation?"

As soon as Zhan Hongyi finished speaking, a red light flew out from his sleeve and went straight for Ye Yang's throat.

Ye Yang was prepared and dodged the fatal blow with a flash of his body.

The next moment, he pointed with one hand, and a sword light came out of the sheath, exuding cold light and flashing lightning, and in an instant it was in front of Zhan Hongyi.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire hall was as frozen as ice.

"Don't blame Ye for being rude!"

Ye Yang's voice was as cold as a knife, and the tip of the sword was pointed at Zhan Hongyi with a fierce momentum.

Zhan Hongyi was not angry, but smiled instead.

"Master Ye is indeed worthy of his reputation, but today, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape unscathed."

Before he finished speaking, Zhan Hongyi's figure flashed and moved quickly in the hall like a phantom, leaving a trail of afterimages.

Ye Yang's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, closely watching Zhan Hongyi's movements.

The two men's auras collided in the hall, as if two invisible storms met in the air.

The guests around had already stepped aside, fearing that they would be dragged into this fight between powerful real people.

"Do you think this is the end? The methods of our Haitian Chamber of Commerce are beyond your imagination!"

There was a hint of viciousness in Zhan Hongyi's eyes.
