Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 675: Chapter 675 The Day of the Martial Meeting - 1

”Now tell me, if Sword King Sect wants to kill someone from Moon Hua Sect, will you help or not?”

After defeating Chang Yueli with a single move using his spirit body, Ling Xiao watched her with a smile that was not quite a smile and asked.

”I’ll help!”

Chang Yueli clenched her teeth, she finally understood what Ling Xiao was relying on; unexpectedly, the Moon Blossom Fairy had chosen a man as her successor, and it was, of all people, this kid!

At this moment, Chang Yueying also felt her body trembling slightly.

In her eyes, Ling Xiao became even more mysterious and terrifying.

”I’ll help too!”

”Hmph, you two are wise. Right now, Moon Hua Sect is indeed in need of people. I’ll spare your lives for now, but whether you can truly live well will depend on your performance.”

Ling Xiao snorted coldly and turned to Wu Xiang, saying, ”Sect Master, we should attend the competition between the four sects now.”

”We still have to attend the four-sect competition?”

Tantai Lingzi asked in surprise, ”Now that we are at odds with Sword King Sect, can the four-sect competition still go on?”

”Whether it can continue is not for us to decide. This year’s four-sect competition is hosted by Sword King Sect, we’ll see when we get there.”

Ling Xiao’s true intention was to cause a scene.

If the timing was right, he wouldn’t mind exterminating Sword King Sect today to avoid future troubles.

”No need to think further. For years, Moon Hua Sect has been oppressed by Sword King Sect and Beast King Palace. We’ve had enough of this humiliating existence. We must definitely participate in today’s four-sect competition!”

Wu Xiang also nodded, then led everyone to Sword Pavilion, where Sword King Sect was hosting the four-sect competition.

Inside Chen Nanxing’s room, the Sword King Sect Master, chaos reigned at the moment.

Several high-ranking members of Sword King Sect were discussing with Chen Nanxing how to deal with Moon Hua Sect.

Of course, at this moment, they were unaware of the incident at Moon Hua Sect’s temporary lodgings, because Ling Xiao had used an array formation to shield the event, and then erased all traces of the several hundred people as if they had evaporated from the world.

Even if Sword King Sect suspected Moon Hua Sect, they had no evidence to prove their involvement.

What they were arguing about at this time was the Battle Beast Arena.

”Silence! This Sect Master is already aware of the affair concerning the Battle Beast Arena, and my son, Chen Tian, died there. This vendetta must be avenged to quell our fury. However, the four-sect competition is imminent, and we still need to show face to Beast King Palace. After they leave, there’s no rush to deal with Moon Hua Sect!”

Chen Nanxing waved his hand to put a stop to the chaotic arguing, ”Go and prepare for the four-sect competition, so that nobody can accuse Sword King Sect of being petty.”

The high-ranking officials had no choice but to leave, frustrated.

At that moment, a person who looked very similar to the Sea Clan Demon General that Ling Xiao had met emerged from behind a folding screen.

”Demon General, may we eliminate Moon Hua Sect first?”

Chen Nanxing’s eyes flickered with intense murderous intent.

His son had been killed by Ling Xiao; to claim he wasn’t angry and anxious for revenge would be impossible.

”Of course, I have already set up an ambush on the inevitable path back to Moon Hua Sect, and with someone inside Moon Hua Sect in collusion, let alone Ling Xiao, as many members of Moon Hua Sect as come will die!”

The Sea Clan Demon General replied with a light laugh.

”Thank you, Demon General, for taking action.”

”As long as you serve the Storm Legion well, you will naturally be rewarded. Soon, not just Moon Hua Sect, but even Beast King Palace will be swallowed by your Sword King Sect, and the whole East will be your Sword King Sect’s territory.”

The eastern region of the Sacred Dynasty, being close to the sea and connected to the Stormy Ocean, was a critical route for the Sea Race to enter the Sacred Dynasty; thus, this territory was very important.

The Storm Legion chose the Sword King Sect as their control target, and they had their reasons—after all, the Sword King Sect is the strongest among the Eastern Three Sects.

”Good!”

Chen Nanxing’s eyes shone with excitement.

Although he lost a son, he still had a more outstanding adopted son, named Jian Wuji, one of the Six Young Masters of the Sacred Dynasty!

The Six Young Masters of the Holy Dynasty are the six most outstanding genius martial artists under the age of twenty from the dynasty, all at the Half-step Celestial Realm, and considered absolute top-tier combatants within the Transcendent Realm.

Ren Xingtian of the Moon Hua Sect, despite reaching the Heavenly Man Realm, was unfortunately over twenty, thus not included among the Six Young Masters.

And Lan Yu’er simply didn’t qualify.

As the group from the Moon Hua Sect was about to reach the Sword Pavilion, someone blocked their path.

”Respected Moon Hua Sect fellow cultivators, I am Cao Yun, assigned to escort you all to the Sword Pavilion.”

This Cao Yun’s cultivation level was similar to Chen Tian’s, even his arrogant demeanor seemed as if it were carved from the same mold.

The disciples of the Sword King Sect really are one more arrogant than the next.

Wu Xiang and the other senior members of the Moon Hua Sect naturally couldn’t be bothered to waste words on a mere disciple.

Ling Xiao also disdained interacting with such a snobbish character.

On the other hand, Tantai Lingzi kindly introduced Ling Xiao, Lan Yu’er, Dai Yuling, and Leng Hao with a smile.

Cao Yun said with a faint smile, ”So Moon Hua Sect has sent out four newcomers this time, I remember that Lan Yu’er—she was defeated in a single move by my Elder Sister Chen Meng last time!”

Although he smiled, his tone carried a hint of contempt. Would he still be able to smile if he knew what had happened at the temporary dwelling of the Moon Hua Sect?

The crowd followed Cao Yun towards the Sword Pavilion, and along the way, Tantai Lingzi curiously asked, ”I wonder, Brother Cao, what number do you rank among the core disciples of Sword King Sect?”

Honestly, even if she hadn’t asked, Ling Xiao would have guessed.

This person definitely wasn’t first or second, because he was not as powerful as Wu Zong Lian and Chen Tian, which by process of elimination, placed him fifth.

Cao Yun responded with a smile, ”Due to my limited talents, I am only ranked fifth.”

Ranked fifth, at the Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer of the Divine Mastery Realm, Cao Yun’s cultivation level was higher than even Leng Hao’s when judged purely on that basis.

And Leng Hao was ranked third in the Moon Hua Sect.

”Ranked fifth, you say? I have heard of your Sword King Sect’s Jian Wuji who is among the Six Young Masters of the Sacred Dynasty. How capable is he?”

Ling Xiao casually inquired.

Having personally killed the third and fourth core disciples of the Sword King Sect, he was now only interested in the top two ranked ones.

”What makes you think you’re worthy of inquiring about Elder Brother Jian Wuji’s details?”

Cao Yun looked at Ling Xiao with disdain.

Tantai Lingzi quickly said, ”Brother Cao, please don’t be angry. We’ve long admired Elder Brother Jian Wuji and were just expressing our curiosity.”

”That’s more like it.”

Cao Yun, satisfied with Tantai Lingzi’s respectful attitude, then smiled and said, ”Elder Brother Jian Wuji, being one of the Six Young Masters, is not someone from our standing. Therefore, he won’t be taking part in this Quad-Sect Martial Meet even though there’s a slot for him.

His cultivation has reached eighty percent strength of the Half-step Celestial level. He even once personally slain a Nine Layers strength Half-step Celestial and successfully escaped amidst the pursuit of First Line of Heaven Martial Artists.

Furthermore, he has mastered our sect’s most powerful sword technique—the Sword King Sacred Code. This is a Yu Pin precious level martial arts, supposedly only cultivable after reaching the Heavenly Man Realm, but Elder Brother Jian Wuji has broken the precedent, becoming the only person in a thousand years of the Sword King Sect to master the Sacred Scripture while still at the Half-step Celestial Realm.”
