Battle Begins
Outside Luocheng, Chu Yinghao and several other Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts stood there chatting as if they were having a confrontation. Although their first priority was to give the Prince of Qin a hard time, they couldn't make it too obvious, and they couldn't just sit there waiting.
Therefore, Chu Yinghao simply summoned the strongest figures from all sides to cover up the slight discord between the Imperial Clan and the Prince of Qin.
By summoning these powerful figures hidden in the shadows, it would appear as if the Imperial Clan were giving them a show of force. The arrival of the Prince of Qin of Qin would be key to easing the tension in the situation, and this was the thought in everyone's mind.
The Imperial Clan gave the Prince of Qin a show of force, and the Prince of Qin knew exactly why. Regarding the cessation of war, His Majesty personally dispatched his personal eunuch to You Province to deliver a secret edict, ordering the king to rest and recuperate and not to fight again.
As a result, the Prince of Qin still went his own way, sending troops to the Cangshui to start a war, completely disregarding the words of the Imperial Clan, and even daring to unfurl the Blood Dragon Banner to send out messages to all sides for help. This was tantamount to directly trampling on the face of the Imperial Clan, and they certainly had to be given some warning.
Of course, for Chu Yinghao, it was inevitable to give these Celestial Phenomenon Realm from various factions a taste of their power, especially the Li Family.
Looking at Li Yanxiao's old face, which resembled that of a kind-hearted middle-aged man, Chu Yinghao felt an urge to rush up and beat him. The Li Family had survived because of his protection of the royal Dagan Imperial Clan; he Dagan Imperial Clan.
Now that his Imperial Clan is 'slightly weakened', this dog has started to disobey. In the Battle of Cangshui, three Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts emerged.
Now, a top-tier power has only sent one expert at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. Is this to demonstrate their power against the Dagan Imperial Clan, or to test their Imperial Clan?
No one knew what Chu Yinghao and Chu Wensheng were thinking. The people present were just chatting and trying to find out what they could use in each other's words.
In the midst of their conversation, Chu Yinghao abruptly stopped, his expression turning serious. Something seemed amiss!
Immediately following, Wang Siping, the sect leader of the Sifang Sword Sect, felt the spirit sword behind him tremble slightly, and a hint of excitement and joy appeared in his eyes, making him seem somewhat excited.
He had never seen such sword intent before. Its sharpness was fully revealed, and its fierceness was so otherworldly, elegant and breathtaking, as if it were not a sword of this world, a peerless brilliance.
Before even seeing the person, Wang Siping knew he had encountered a supreme master of swordsmanship, a swordsmanship expert standing at the summit of a mountain, perhaps no less powerful than that True Person Liyue, or even stronger.
Wang Siping couldn't contain his joy, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit. The newcomer was stronger than him, but challenging him with his sword was the greatest pleasure of his life.
Even if one is defeated or dies, there is no regret. Someone stands at a higher level in the way of the sword, and he has a goal to pursue. He has the opportunity to test his own way of the sword, identify his shortcomings, and make up for them. Only after seeing all kinds of sword styles can he perfect his own way of the sword.
The sword intent he felt today was unlike anything he had ever experienced before, and Wang Siping was now itching to challenge the sword.
The people present gradually sensed the sharpness in the air and turned to look.
A figure in white robes arrived from the direction of Qingtan City, riding on clouds like a peerless sword immortal descending to earth. His aura was aloof and cold, and his body was filled with sword intent. Standing there, he was like a solitary peak standing alone in the clouds.
Looking at the figure in white, everyone present, except for Wang Siping, wore solemn expressions. Who was this person? They had never seen him before.
Among Dagan powerful Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts, who hasn't seen each other? Even if some don't like to show themselves off, there's always some explanation or hearsay. But they truly don't know this particular person.
That sharp and ethereal sword intent alone increased the pressure on them. They were no match for it; this was the sentiment of several powerful figures present.
"May I ask where you come from, and who you are?"
Chu Yinghao's eyes were filled with solemnity, and his tone was sharp. With his peak Celestial Phenomenon Realm cultivation, this kind of swordsmanship would be troublesome even for him, even if he were also a peak Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert. Or rather, the idea of dealing with this person would be impossible.
He couldn't handle this person; his strength was so great, who was he?
Great Feng?
Impossible. They know the people of Great Feng too well. There aren't many experts with this level of strength who have reached the pinnacle of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. Often, the person who knows you best is your enemy. Great Feng doesn't have such a person.
But he's not the type to Dagan!
The newcomer had a calm expression, holding a sword in one hand, as if he were far removed from the hustle and bustle of the world. He slowly landed to the side of the group and spoke in a cool and aloof tone.
"I come from Dagan, I am a man of the land, a swordsman of the Martial World, Ye Gucheng, here to lend my assistance."
Ye Gucheng?
The people present exchanged glances, all filled with doubt. Could there really be Dagan a powerful Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert?
Still a swordsman of the Martial World?
You're being too modest! With this level of skill and sword intent, you wouldn't be an exaggeration to call yourself a sword immortal of the Martial World.
Then everyone turned their attention to Wang Siping, asking him questions. "You love asking about swordsmanship the most. You know all the sword masters from all over the world, and you've even asked about most of them. Tell me about it."
Noticing the gazes of the crowd, Wang Siping shook his head. If he had known there was such a master swordsman, he would have gone to ask him for a sword long ago, instead of putting on this act here.
However, Wang Siping's fighting spirit remained unchanged. He kept his eyes fixed on Ye Gucheng, his eyes burning with fervor, and said with a hint of excitement.
"You say you're someone I'll Dagan? Then try me. I'll find the truth and get the answer in your sword. Come on!"
"Wang Siping of the Sifang Sword Sect wishes to learn swordsmanship from you, fellow Daoist. Please enlighten me."
[(Separator, I'm working hard to write this, it's still a bit short for today, it'll be done in half an hour. The author is working hard to type, please wait a moment.)]
Just then, four guard captains emerged, covered in wounds, and came into Chu Xuanao's view. Their bodies were scarred, and their armor was tattered.
"Your Highness."
The four burly men Your Highness" Your Highness," their tone filled with grievance, their eyes seemingly brimming with tears, and their lips curled in a bitter smile. They appeared as if they had suffered a tremendous injustice.
Looking at the group of people in front of him, Chu Xuanao understood what was going Unparalleled.
This exceptionally talented little fellow has been causing trouble ever since he arrived. I even heard that there's an Ascension Realm in his household who's at the peak of his cultivation, and he went to play with the Menban yesterday afternoon.
I can't help but laugh when I think of Unparalleled's bewildered expression when he saw the sword on the Menban.
So he assigned Unparalleled several sparring partners, all four of whom were Great Grandmaster. But judging from the current situation, it seems these guys aren't up to the task!
The four commanders thought to themselves: Your Highness, why don't you give it a try? All three swords are Famous Weapon; you're truly generous! The hundred-refined steel sabers they wield are Mortal Tool; that thing would shatter at the slightest touch! Even with their protective aura, they couldn't withstand that sword's energy.
Chu Xuanao tossed out a few more gold ingots; he didn't care about the cost of the free stuff.
