I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

Chapter 1637: Chapter 1637: Xiujian City, Incorrect Intelligence! (3/3)

”Junru, Tingfeng Pavilion has received news about that sword cultivator.”

In a small courtyard of the Xuanyuan Family.

A man pushed open the courtyard gate, speaking urgently.

Xuanyuan Junru, who was practicing with his sword, immediately stopped and said coldly, ”Pass the news to the First Elder and the others right away. It concerns the inheritance of the Green Cloud Sword Master, we cannot afford any accidents!”

The man nodded gravely upon hearing this and proceeded without delay.

Subsequently, Xuanyuan Junru, the First Elder, and the Second Elder, along with a dozen people, hurried to the location mentioned in the news from Tingfeng Pavilion.

The place was in Xiu Sword City on the Cangxuan Continent.

Xiu Sword City is also known to the sword Dao cultivators of the Cangxuan Continent.

It is not controlled by any sword Dao power, rather it serves as a marketplace for selling or auctioning various swords.

One could say it’s the prime choice for rogue sword cultivators, apart from the major sword Dao powers, to obtain high-quality swords.

Naturally, people from weaker sword Dao powers also frequent Xiu Sword City in search of suitable swords for themselves.

Xiu Sword City.

The Second Elder looked at the bustling streets; the majority here were sword cultivators.

”The intelligence is likely accurate; the target is also a sword cultivator and, according to the information, is a cultivator from The Mortal Realm with a very weak backing, so if they want a high-level sword, they would have to come to Xiu Sword City,” analyzed the Second Elder.

Xuanyuan Junru furrowed his brows and said, ”But he has the Yuncang Sword, which is the Green Cloud Sword Master’s own sword. He shouldn’t need to come to Xiu Sword City to purchase other swords.”

”Hmm...” The First Elder lowered his head to look at the scroll in his hand, which contained some information on Ye Qiubai, and said, ”He has a sword technique, the Aged Golden Sword Case, which allows for control over multiple swords simultaneously through the sword box. Perhaps it is for this reason he came to Xiu Sword City to acquire additional swords?”

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Junru nodded, ”That would make sense.”

The Second Elder smiled and said, ”It seems the information from Tingfeng Pavilion is reliable. I’ve heard about a rising intelligence power, Dark Domain, competing with Tingfeng Pavilion? It looks like Tingfeng Pavilion has the upper hand in intelligence gathering.”

While observing the surroundings, the First Elder nodded in agreement, ”Tingfeng Pavilion has been situated in the Chaos Realm for many years, always known as the number one intelligence power. Naturally, it’s not something a new power can rival.”

Hearing the two elders praise Tingfeng Pavilion, Xuanyuan Junru couldn’t help but wryly smile, ”Elders, we should focus on finding Ye Qiubai now, we can’t delay the inheritance of the Green Cloud Sword Master.”

”Right, rest assured, the intelligence indicates that Ye Qiubai will participate in the Xiu Sword City’s Sword Exhibition Tournament to claim the top prize, which I believe is a Lord God Level sword.”

”There’s no time to delay; the Sword Exhibition Tournament is nearing its end. Let’s go have a look. If he is a sword cultivator capable of obtaining the Green Cloud Sword Master’s inheritance, it’s unlikely he’d be eliminated this early.”

The Sword Exhibition Tournament.

It is a decennial feast for the rogue sword cultivators of Xiu Sword City.

After all, by emerging victorious, one can win a sword of incredibly high level, which poses a deadly temptation for rogue sword cultivators.

The difference between rogue cultivators and those with power is their foundation; rogue cultivators don’t have as many Primordial Stones to purchase high-level swords.

The tournament’s primary rule is actually to limit cultivation, focusing only on the prowess of the Sword Dao.

Whoever has the strongest Sword Dao, will be the victor.

When Xuanyuan Junru and his party arrived at the tournament’s platform,

The semifinals were already underway, with two sword cultivators fiercely clashing.

However, neither of these sword cultivators resembled Ye Qiubai.

The Second Elder frowned, ”Could it be a disguise?”

The First Elder said in disbelief, ”We wouldn’t notice a youngster’s disguise with our level of strength?”

Xuanyuan Junru also shook his head, ”This isn’t his sword Dao aura, I’ve exchanged blows with him before at the inheritance ground.”

”In that case, we can only wait; two others have yet to spar.”

So, after waiting for half a day.

When the victor was decided between the two combatants on the stage, it was time for the last pair to spar.

As the pair stepped onto the stage.

It was discovered that one was a woman and the other, a man in a white robe wearing a mask.

After confirming the woman was not in disguise.

The First Elder and Second Elder acted simultaneously, disappearing from their spots in an instant.

In merely the blink of an eye, they captured the masked man from behind and in front.

At the same time, the First Elder sealed the space around them to prevent the other party from escaping through a spatial escape technique.

In their eyes, only this masked man could possibly be Ye Qiubai.

Witnessing the unexpected turn of events on the stage, the surrounding crowd was visibly taken aback, unable to react.

Meanwhile, on the platform, the organizer of the sword exhibition bellowed: ”Who are you? Why are you causing trouble at the sword exhibition?!”

The First Elder swiftly tossed out a token and said coldly: ”The Xuanyuan Family is handling official business; do not interfere. We will compensate you afterwards.”

When the middle-aged man from the organizers took the token and saw the word ”Xuanyuan” on it, his expression shifted slightly, and he then bowed and said: ”If that’s the case, then I ask the members of the Xuanyuan Family to please proceed quickly.”

He didn’t doubt its authenticity.

Who would have the audacity to impersonate the Xuanyuan Family? Moreover, the token was specially made by the Xuanyuan Family, and to imitate it, one would need the bloodline of the Xuanyuan Family, as well as various restrictions.

Xuanyuan Junru approached, squatted down, and while talking, reached out to remove the mask from the man.

”You dared to come to the Cangxuan Continent? You underestimate...”

However, before he could finish speaking, Xuanyuan Junru had already removed the man’s mask.

Staring at the man’s face, he couldn’t help but his own face turn rigid.

The First Elder and Second Elder, seeing the change in Xuanyuan Junru’s expression, also looked quite displeased.

Letting go of the man, the First Elder shifted his gaze to the middle-aged man from the organizers.

He brandished a portrait of Ye Qiubai and asked loudly: ”Have you seen this person?”

The middle-aged man took a look, furrowed his brows, and shook his head: ”I haven’t seen him.”

Xuanyuan Junru’s expression soured even more.

The Second Elder rose into the air, his hands spreading wide, his presence enveloping the entire sword exhibition city like a spider web.

However, he couldn’t sense any trace of Ye Qiubai at all.

As if such a person didn’t exist... or perhaps he indeed wasn’t here.

”What’s going on? Could he have received the news beforehand and run away?” asked a male member of the Xuanyuan Family with a frown.

Xuanyuan Junru immediately shook his head: ”Aside from myself and the two elders, only Tingfeng Pavilion knew about this information.”

Tingfeng Pavilion would not leak information that was not purchased by others.

In order to be absolutely sure, Xuanyuan Junru even refrained from telling anyone other than the two elders.

This meant that there was only one possibility...

The First Elder’s face darkened, ”Is Tingfeng Pavilion’s intelligence inaccurate?”

The Second Elder let out a cold laugh: ”It seems that Tingfeng Pavilion has grown complacent over the years, daring to sell fake information to our Xuanyuan Family?”

”Then let’s make a trip to Tingfeng Pavilion.”
