Sword Reverent and Dragon Emperor!
Just as an extremely powerful force filled Azure Dragon Hall, an overwhelming sword intent outside the hall directly severed that force, preventing it from surging out of Azure Dragon Hall.
The Dragon Emperor turned sideways and looked toward Reaching Heaven Sword Sect's Sect Leader Sword Reverent!
"Sword Reverent, what do you mean by this?" the Dragon Emperor asked coldly.
Sect Leader Sword Reverent held a cup in his hand, took a light sip of wine, and said with a smile, "Nothing in particular. It's just that the wine in this cup hasn't been finished yet. As the host of this banquet, how could I leave just like that?"
"Come, Dragon Emperor. You and I haven't seen each other in over a decade. Have a drink."
Sword Reverent raised his cup and smiled faintly.
The Dragon Emperor said coldly, "Sword Reverent, I have no time to trade barbs with you here. I'll ask you only one question today. Will you move aside or not?"
As the Dragon Emperor spoke, murderous intent and an overbearing aura gathered throughout Azure Dragon Hall.
Lin Anyang, Ling Luo, Sui An, Gui Jing, and the others all held their breath, awaiting Sword Reverent's answer. They knew that his next words might well determine whether Lin Bai lived or died—and might even determine the future situation of Reaching Heaven Sword Sect!
Sword Reverent's expression darkened. He slowly lowered the wine cup he had raised. When it landed on the table, it let out a crisp slap, making every martial artist present shudder.
"I won't!" Sword Reverent said firmly as the cup struck the table. "Whether his name is Dongfang Bai or Lin Bai, he is still a disciple of my Reaching Heaven Sword Sect—the Sword Paragon of my Reaching Heaven Sword Sect!"
