The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1343 - 1341: The Bigwigs of the Seven Major Sects!

Chapter 1343: Chapter 1341: The Bigwigs of the Seven Major Sects!

Cold Mountain, just a mere ten thousand miles from Purple Gold City, is considered one of the closer mountain peaks to the city.

The proximity of such a mountain peak meant that ordinary demon beast powerhouses dared not provoke the human clan talents here because, after all, once a demon beast ascended Cold Mountain and challenged a talent, the talents within Purple Gold City could reach Cold Mountain within two hours!

Therefore, any demon beast that dared to ascend Cold Mountain to challenge human clan talents must have some strength!

Every five years, the Disciple Recruitment Conference would attract the attention of various forces on the Lingnan Continent, and the Demon Clan, having battled with the human clan for many years in this world, naturally wouldn’t miss such an opportunity to make a name for themselves!

Just as the Waiter had previously said, at each Disciple Recruitment Conference, demon clan powerhouses would come to meddle, killing a few talents, strutting their stuff, simply to prove that the demon clan powerhouses were stronger than those of the human clan, with more talents to boot!

Cold Mountain, as the yearly battleground between the demon and human clans, was the stage of such gambles, and the number of demon and human clan powerhouses that had died there couldn’t be measured with mere numbers!

At this moment, atop Cold Mountain, a young man wearing a clean white robe stood with an arrogant expression, his sword-like eyebrows framing his starry eyes, a cold smirk tracing his lips. His eyes looked down with disdain at the human clan powerhouses floating in the half sky around him.

"Come on, are you human clan strong ones so afraid of death?"

"Is there not one among you who dares to fight me?"

"If there are no warriors within your human clan brave enough to respond to my challenge, then I invite you all to jointly write down a phrase: ’All warriors of the Lingnan human clan eat shit,’ hang it in Purple Gold City, and I will cease to challenge, hahaha."

This handsome man provocatively taunted the human warriors in the half sky around him.

Hearing the young man’s taunts, the surrounding warriors all ground their teeth in rage, glaring at him with hostility.

"Clouded Leopard, don’t be too smug, we’ve already gone to summon The Three Young Masters from the First Step of the Sky Ladder, and once they arrive, you’re as good as dead."

"Exactly, your cultivation is nothing compared to The Three Young Masters, not worth a glance!"

"What’s there to be proud of? No matter how smug you are, you’re still just a beast!"

Many warriors shouted angrily.

At this moment, Lin Bai slowly made his way through the Crowd, landing on a cliff on a Mountain Top, looking at the Clouded Leopard on Cold Mountain, smiling silently.

Above the Cloud Top, within the thick layers of cloud, stood a dozen Old men side by side.

They looked down at the Clouded Leopard on Cold Mountain, their faces particularly displeased.

If Lin Bai had been there, he would have been surprised because among these dozen Old men, there were two familiar figures, one of them was... Gui Jing from the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!

The other was Dong Qian, the Holy Guardian Supreme of the Saint Seal Sect, whom Lin Bai had seen on Miracle Ridge!

The other Old men standing next to Gui Jing were all high-level individuals from various Major Sects of the Lingnan Continent!

"It seems that this year’s human clan warriors are quite lackluster, huh? They can’t even deal with a mere Clouded Leopard?" One of the Old men spoke with a displeased expression.

This speaker was the Guardian Supreme of another prominent Sword Cultivation Sect on the Lingnan Continent, known as Donglan Sword Sect, Bao Song!

Gui Jing of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect laughed and said, "Indeed, the disciples this year seem far too cowardly. In previous years, if a demon dared to be so arrogant, the talents on the First Step of the Sky Ladder would have already taken action!"

Dong Qian, the Guardian Supreme of the Saint Seal Sect, lightly chuckled, "Perhaps their time has not yet come, let’s wait a bit longer."

At this time, among these shadows of people, a middle-aged man dressed in black robe and black hair, with a stern face, spoke, "Do you still remember ten years ago? At that time, there was a demon who was full of himself, cutting down more than thirty talents from the Second Step of the Sky Ladder right in front of Purple Gold City. In the end, a warrior from the First Step of the Sky Ladder delivered a One-hit Kill, now that was truly satisfying!"

"Right, if I recall, wasn’t that warrior snatched away by the Saint Seal Sect ten years ago?"

Hearing these words, Dong Qian of the Saint Seal Sect chuckled lightly and said, "You Yihu, your memory is quite good. Unfortunately, even though that person joined the Saint Seal Sect, he later fell in a Secret Realm."

This middle-aged man named You Yihu was the Guardian Supreme of the only Saber Cultivation Sect on the Lingnan Continent!

"It’s a pity. The path of a talent is not so easy to walk." Han Zikun, the Guardian Supreme of Luotian Sect, shook his head and sighed softly.

On the Lingnan Continent, there are only seven named Peerless Sects, known as the Seven Great Unparalleled Sects!

The Seven Great Unparalleled Sects are as follows: Saint Seal Sect, Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, Donglan Sword Sect, Heavenly Sword Sect, Fenxin Sect, Luotian Sect, and the Seven Luminaries Starfall Mountain!

There is a saying in Lingnan: Fist Technique reigns supreme with Saint Seal Sect, Sword Skill holds honor with Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, and Saber Cultivation is led by the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Saint Seal Sect, Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, and Heavenly Sword Sect, these Three Great Sects, are truly the overwhelming powerhouses among the thousands of sects in Lingnan!

As for Donglan Sword Sect, Fenxin Sect, Luotian Sect, and Seven Luminaries Starfall Mountain, they are just one step behind these three major sects!

Now here at Cloud Top, we’re seeing some of the high-ranking officials from the various sects participating in this year’s Disciple Recruitment Conference.

Saint Seal Sect Guardian Supreme, Dong Qian!

Seventh Peak Master of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, Gui Jing!

Donglan Sword Sect Guardian Supreme, Bao Song!

Heavenly Sword Sect Guardian Supreme, You Yihu!

Grand Elder of Fenxin Sect, Lou Ming!

Guardian Supreme of Luotian Sect, Han Zikun!

Supreme Elder of Seven Luminaries Starfall Mountain, Fan Qi!

Every year’s Purple Gold City Disciple Recruitment, almost every known and named warrior would choose to enter one of these seven major sects!

Atop Cold Mountain, another human clan warrior was defeated by the Clouded Leopard.

After the Clouded Leopard battered the man until he spit out blood, it said with a light chuckle, "As per the old rules, all you need to do is say ’The genius of Purple Gold City’s human clan eats shit,’ and I will spare your life!"

Every time the Clouded Leopard defeated a human clan warrior, it would have them say this phrase, and if they did, the Clouded Leopard would let them live!

"Brother Zhou Rong, don’t say it!"

"Zhou Rong, you’re also a genius on the Second Step of the Sky Ladder, do you really want to say such a thing?"

Many warriors looked on angrily at the one beneath the Clouded Leopard’s feet.

That warrior, named Zhou Rong, a man with a somewhat feminine name.

His face flushed with humiliation and frustration, but he knew that if he did not say it, he would undoubtedly die. Thus, Zhou Rong said resentfully, "The genius of Purple Gold City’s human clan eats shit!"

"I’ve said it, now you can let me go, right?"

"Ha ha ha! Scram!" the Clouded Leopard laughed triumphantly, kicking Zhou Rong off and sending him flying.

Zhou Rong hit the ground, ignoring his injuries, and dove into the crowd, quickly vanishing!

"Damn it, that Clouded Leopard is too arrogant, I really want to split it in half with one saber strike!" snapped You Yihu, the temperamental Guardian Supreme of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Seeing the Clouded Leopard’s insolence had made him rage.

The Guardian Supreme Dong Qian of the Saint Seal Sect spoke softly, "You Yihu, don’t be rash. This Clouded Leopard has a high status among the Demon Clan. Look over there, the Demon Clan’s powerhouses are watching us!"

Upon hearing this, You Yihu, Lou Ming, Han Zikun, and others turned their gazes toward a mountain next to Cold Mountain, where they saw more than twenty warriors standing, including a few whose strength was terrifyingly formidable.

As You Yihu, Lou Ming, Han Zikun, Dong Qian, Gui Jing, and others looked on, those towering presences on the platform also slightly raised their gazes towards them, the corners of their mouths curling into disdainful smiles.

Gui Jing said, "They’re the Demon Beasts from the Valley of Demons; no wonder the Clouded Leopard is so strong!"

On the Lingnan Continent, there are not only human clan sects and dynasties but also many Demon Clan forces; for instance, the Valley of Demons is one of the rare Demon Clan powers in the Lingnan Continent!
