"Brother Junru, Listening Wind Pavilion has received news about that sword cultivator."
In a small courtyard of the Xuanyuan Clan.
A man pushed open the courtyard gate and said urgently.
Xuanyuan Junru, who was practicing his swordplay, immediately stopped and said coldly, "Immediately send the message to the Grand Elder and the others. This concerns the inheritance of the Azure Cloud Sword Master; absolutely no accidents can be allowed to happen!"
Upon hearing this, the man nodded solemnly and immediately complied.
Immediately afterwards, Xuanyuan Junru, along with the First Elder and the Second Elder, led a dozen or so people to the location mentioned in the message from the Listening Wind Pavilion.
The location is Sword Showcase City in the Cangxuan Continent.
Sword Showcase City is also a city well-known to Sword Dao cultivators on the Cangxuan Continent.
This place is not controlled by any particular Sword Dao faction; it is simply a place for selling or auctioning various precious swords.
It can be said that, apart from the major Sword Dao forces, independent Sword Dao Rogue Cultivator are the best choice to obtain high-quality swords.
Of course, people from Sword Dao factions with weaker foundations often come to Sword Showcase City to find a sword that suits them.
Sword Showcase City.
The Second Elder looked at the bustling street; most of the people here were sword cultivators.
"The intelligence should be correct. The other party is also a sword cultivator, and according to the intelligence, he is a sword cultivator from the Mortal Realm. The power behind him is definitely very weak. So, if he wants to obtain a high-level sword, he can only come to Sword Showcase City," the Second Elder analyzed.
Xuanyuan Junru frowned and said, "But he has the Cloud Azure Sword, which is the sword of the Azure Cloud Sword Master. He shouldn't need to come to Sword Showcase City to buy other swords."
"Hmm..." The Grand Elder looked down at the scroll in his hand, which contained some information about Ye Qiubai. He said, "He has a Swordsmanship called Geng Metal Sword Case, which allows him to control multiple swords simultaneously through the sword box. Perhaps that's why he came to Sword Showcase City to purchase other swords?"
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Junru nodded, "That makes sense."
The Second Elder smiled wryly. "It seems the information from the Listening Wind Pavilion is reliable. I heard there's a new intelligence force, Dark Domain, competing with the Listening Wind Pavilion? It seems Listening Wind Pavilion still has the upper hand in intelligence gathering."
As the Grand Elder observed his surroundings, he nodded in agreement, saying, " The Listening Wind Pavilion has been entrenched in the Chaos Realm for so many years, consistently hailed as the foremost intelligence force. Naturally, it cannot be compared to any emerging power."
Hearing the two elders praising Listening Wind Pavilion, Xuanyuan Junru couldn't help but smile wryly, "Elders, let's find Ye Qiubai first. The inheritance of the Azure Cloud Sword Master can't be delayed."
"Yes, don't worry. Intelligence indicates that Ye Qiubai will participate in the Sword Showdown in Sword Showcase City to win the championship and receive a reward, which is a sword of the Lord God Level, right?"
"There's no time to lose. The Sword Showdown is nearing its end. Let's go take a look. If a sword cultivator has received the inheritance of the Azure Cloud Sword Master, they probably won't be eliminated so early."
Sword Showdown.
It is a once-a-decade grand event for Sword Dao Rogue Cultivator in Sword Showcase City.
After all, whoever wins the championship will receive a sword of extremely high grade, which is a fatal temptation for Sword Dao Rogue Cultivator.
The difference between Rogue Cultivator and powerful forces lies in their resources and foundation. Rogue Cultivator alone, don't have enough Primordial Stone to buy high-level swords.
The main rule of the Sword Showdown Tournament is actually to restrict cultivation levels and only test Sword Dao.
Whoever has the stronger Sword Dao will be the champion.
When Xuanyuan Junru and the others arrived at the arena of the Show Sword Tournament.
At this moment, the semi-finals have begun, and two sword masters are engaged in a fierce battle on the arena.
However, these two sword cultivators did not look like Ye Qiubai.
The Second Elder frowned and said, "Could it be that he's disguised?"
The Grand Elder said speechlessly, "With our abilities, can't we even see through the disguise of such a junior?"
Xuanyuan Junru also shook his head and said, "This Sword Dao aura doesn't belong to him. I fought him before at the Inheritance Grounds."
"In that case, we can only wait. There are still two people who haven't sparred yet."
So, after waiting for a long time...
After the two fighters on the stage have determined their victor, the last two will then have a friendly match.
When the two men stepped onto the ring.
They discovered that one of them was a woman, while the other was dressed in a white robe and wore a mask.
After confirming that the woman was not in disguise.
The First Elder and the Second Elder attacked simultaneously, instantly disappearing from their original positions.
In the blink of an eye, they captured the masked man from both sides.
At the same time, the Grand Elder also sealed off the space here to prevent the other party from escaping using spatial teleportation techniques.
In their view, only this masked man could possibly be Ye Qiubai.
Seeing the unexpected turn of events on the arena, everyone around was momentarily stunned and didn't react.
On the high platform, the organizers of the Sword Showdown Tournament, upon discovering this scene, roared, "Who are you? Why are you causing trouble at the Sword Showdown Tournament?!"
The First Elder tossed out a sign and said coldly, " The Xuanyuan Clan is handling matters. Don't interfere. You will be compensated afterwards."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man from the organizer took the sign and saw the two characters "Xuanyuan" on it. His expression changed slightly, and he immediately cupped his hands and said, "In that case, please, members of the Xuanyuan Clan, hurry up."
I didn't doubt whether it was true or false.
Who would dare to impersonate the Xuanyuan Clan? Moreover, the token was specially made by the Xuanyuan Clan. To imitate it, one would need the bloodline of the Xuanyuan Clan, as well as various restrictions.
Xuanyuan Junru stepped forward, squatted down, and reached out to remove the man's mask as he spoke.
"You dare to come to the Cangxuan Continent? You underestimate me too much..."
However, before he could finish speaking, Xuanyuan Junru had already removed the man's mask.
Looking at the man's face, she couldn't help but freeze for a moment.
The First Elder and the Second Elder couldn't help but look grim when they saw Xuanyuan Junru's expression.
After releasing the man, the elder immediately turned his gaze to the middle-aged man from the organizing committee.
He brandished Ye Qiubai's portrait and shouted, "Have you ever seen this person?"
The middle-aged man took it, glanced at it, frowned, and shook his head, saying, "I've never seen it before."
Xuanyuan Junru's expression darkened further.
The Second Elder even levitated into the air, raised his hands, and his aura spread throughout the entire Sword Showcase City like a spider web.
However, they could not sense any presence from Ye Qiubai.
It's as if this person doesn't exist... or perhaps they really aren't here.
"What happened? Could it be that they received advance notice and ran away?" one of the men from the Xuanyuan Clan asked, frowning.
Xuanyuan Junru immediately shook his head. "Besides me and the two elders, only Listening Wind Pavilion knows this information."
It's impossible for the Listening Wind Pavilion to leak this information to anyone else who didn't purchase it.
To be on the safe side, Xuanyuan Junru didn't even tell anyone other than the two elders about the information.
In other words, there is only one possibility...
The Grand Elder's face darkened. "Is the information from the Listening Wind Pavilion incorrect?"
The Second Elder sneered, "It seems that Listening Wind Pavilion has become accustomed to a life of luxury over the years, daring to sell false information to our Xuanyuan Clan?"
"Then let's go to the Listening Wind Pavilion."
