The Unparalleled Sword Emperor -
Chapter 234 - 233: Gathering of Geniuses
Chapter 234: Chapter 233: Gathering of Geniuses
Xu Changfeng called out, "Let’s talk as we walk. I’ll first take you little fellows from the Spirit Sword Sect on a tour of the Hidden Dragon Other Courtyard, then to where you will stay. You, members of the Spirit Sword Sect, will still stay in the old place, Lingjian Court."
"Okay."
Having said this, Xu Changfeng took Chen Gong and Lin Bai, among others, on a leisurely stroll through the Hidden Dragon Other Courtyard.
The Hidden Dragon Other Courtyard was splendidly constructed, offering a new scenic delight at every step, leaving visitors dazzled.
Lin Bai, Lu Yuan, and Zhang Lingdao were all captivated by the beautiful scenery.
Xu Changfeng, on the other hand, spoke with heavy sincerity, "This time, the Spirit Sword Sect is in a very dangerous situation. There were only three disciples... How could they send just three?"
"If there were more people, we might be able to fight our way out, but with just three disciples, I fear it is impossible."
Xu Changfeng concluded with a bit of helplessness.
Chen Gong smiled, "No matter, how many people have come from the Canghai Yuntai Palace and the Fire Palace this time?"
Xu Changfeng took a deep breath and said solemnly, "The Canghai Yuntai Palace has sent over a hundred warriors this time, most of them at the first level of the Heaven Martial Realm. And there are also fifty or so from the Fire Palace, and they are also mostly around the first level of the Heaven Martial Realm."
Chen Gong coldly replied, "Over the years, as the Spirit Sword Sect has been defeated, the Canghai Yuntai Palace and the Fire Palace have taken advantage to loot and constantly rob us of the geniuses we value. Today, their disciples are ten times as many as ours, so it’s not surprising they can multiply a hundred people or so."
>Xu Changfeng laughed, "True enough. But what requires attention is that amongst these two major sects, there are a few warriors who are well-known within their sects."
"Which ones?", Chen Gong asked.
Hearing Xu Changfeng and Chen Gong discussing the prodigies of the Four Major Sects made Lin Bai and Lu Yuan shift their focus to listen intently to their conversation.
Xu Changfeng said, "Among the warriors from the Fire Palace is one named Wan Xia. He is highly supported by the disciples in the Fire Palace."
Upon hearing this, Chen Gong sneered, "Wan Xia, I’ve heard of this warrior. It is said that he has practiced the Fire Skill to the seventh level. Every movement he makes carries the power of a volcanic eruption, he is not to be underestimated."
Xu Changfeng nodded silently, "From the Edgeless Sect, there’s Luo Qixing."
Chen Gong’s eyes turned cold as he heard the name, "This person is extremely cunning and treacherous. He is one of the Edgeless Sect’s top assassins. Many warriors have been killed by him, and it’s usually unclear where they are buried."
"Edgeless Sect, Fire Palace, what about the Canghai Yuntai Palace? Who’s come from there?" Chen Gong immediately asked when he heard Xu Changfeng complete his discussion of the Fire Palace and the Edgeless Sect.
"There’s a warrior named Yi Han in Canghai Yuntai Palace who has reached the pinnacle of the third layer in the Heaven Martial Realm," Xu Changfeng said calmly.
Upon hearing Yi Han’s name, Chen Gong’s eyes narrowed slightly and he even paused midway in his stride. He said, "I’ve heard of this Yi Han. He is known as ’One of the Seven Kings’ in the Canghai Yuntai Palace and is considered a top contender among his peers."
The Canghai Yuntai Palace listed two people as Saints and Saintesses.
The Saint was Duan Canghai.
The Saintess was Lin Zi’er.
Next in line were the Four Emperors of the Inner Palace.
The Four Emperors of the Inner Palace of the Canghai Yuntai Palace, were the absolute powerhouses on the Shenwu Genius List: Li Huan, Zhang Xuanle, Wu Jian, Di Huale.
Beneath the Four Emperors, there were Seven Kings vying for power.
The Seven Kings were the talents just below the Four Emperors. They were hailed as the warriors most likely to become the fifth Emperor of the Inner Palace.
Yi Han was one of the Seven Kings of the Canghai Yuntai Palace.
Given this, it was obvious how terrifying Yi Han’s cultivation was.
Upon hearing Yi Han’s name, Chen Gong’s face was filled with solemnity. He glanced back at Lu Yuan and Lin Bai, a hint of worry filled his eyes. He then continued to walk forward.
They were chatting casually as they went along.
Xu Changfeng and Chen Gong walked one after another across a plaza.
In that square, a beautiful white-robed woman was engaging in a martial arts competition with an
expert.
As Lin Bai and his companions passed by the square, they happened to see the white-robed woman defeat
her opponent with a single sword slash.
"The sword skills of the Fifth Princess are getting more and more formidable."
The man who was knocked down chuckled as he picked himself up from the ground, and respectfully
said.
The beautiful woman discontentedly retorted, "You are too weak, it’s really boring. Can’t the Fire
Palace find a master whose sword skills are on par with mine?"
The man across from the Fifth Princess was a warrior of the Fire Palace, possessing the strength of
the first level of Heaven Martial Realm, which was indeed not insignificant.
The man wore an embarrassed smile, "Princess, you may not know, all martial art techniques in our Fire
Palace are focused on fists and palms, if it comes down to sword techniques, indeed we are not capable. "
The Fifth Princess asked, "Then, whose sword techniques are the most advanced in the Four Major Sects?"
The man’s face was even more embarrassed. He happened to see Chen Gong and the others walking
through the square, and then he struck upon an idea, "In terms of profound sword techniques, it
naturally belongs to the Spirit Sword Sect."
"The Spirit Sword Sect, using martial arts as their way, and the sword as their foundation, the
warriors under their tutelage are all masters of swordsmanship."
"Well, Princess, over there are the disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect."
Having said that, the warrior pointed outside the square.
The Fifth Princess turned around saw Chen Gong, Lin Bai and others. She grinned, "I want to see, how
profound and deep the sword skills are of the Spirit Sword Sect’s elite disciples?"
"See the sword!"
The Fifth Princess twisted her waist and transformed into a gust of wind, sweeping away.
Before she could get close to Lin Bai and the others, Lin Bai already felt the aura of a sword
approaching.
The power within the aura, heavy and strong, filled with raging killing intent.
"Huh?"
Chen Gong frowned instantly. Turning to face her, he launched a palm attack. With a single swing of his
arm, he pushed the Fifth Princess away.
The power of the Fifth Princess was only at the ninth level of Earth Martial Realm. She was knocked back by
Chen Gong’s palm. After staggering backward for five or six steps, her small face puckered up, "This doesn’t count, this doesn’t count. You’re stronger than I am."
Xu Changfeng hastily said, "Elder Brother Chen Gong, don’t get me wrong. This is the Fifth Princess; she loved
sword dancing since she was a child. Maybe she heard that the disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect are all exceptional in
swordsmanship. Therefore, she came to challenge."
Upon hearing this, Chen Gong softened up a bit, laughed and said, "So it was the Fifth Princess, I apologize
for the disrespect."
The Fifth Princess huffed, "I want to compete with a disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect. Do you dare?"
Chen Gong laughed and said, "The sword skill of the Fifth Princess is profound, I am afraid that the disciples under
my tutelage would not be a worthy match for her, perhaps we are well to refuse."
At this moment, the man who had previously fought the Fifth Princess came over chuckling, "Junior Zhang Mo pays his respects to Senior Xu Changfeng. Has the Spirit Sword Sect already fallen to such an extent that it lacks the courage to accept the challenge of a warrior?"
A warrior from the Fire Palace." Chen Gong glared at Zhang Mo with narrowed eyes.
Zhang Mo’s words made Chen Gong lose face, with no way out.
Zhang Lingdao took the stage at this time and said, "Elder Chen Gong, since the Fifth Princess wants to learn sword skills, I can exchange experiences with the Fifth Princess."
Zhang Lingdao glanced at the Fifth Princess’s cultivation level, which was the same as his, both at the ninth level of Earth Martial Realm.
If it were about sword skills, Zhang Lingdao believed that he would not lose to the Fifth Princess.
Chen Gong took a deep look at Zhang Lingdao and said, "Alright, Zhang Lingdao, you can go ahead."
Chen Gong didn’t want to agree to this meaningless comparison, but considering it was the first day of the Spirit Sword Sect’s visit to Qianlong Villa, if they shrink away now, the news would spread throughout the Imperial Capital within half a day, and that would severely damage the reputation of the Spirit Sword Sect.
