Dragon-Slaying Assembly
The news that the Limitless Sect had captured the evil dragon and would soon eliminate it spread to the Crane Islet City in just one day, instantly drawing the attention of the entire Limitless Sect Realm to the Black Tortoise Realm.
Everyone knows about the special nature of Dragon Race, and everyone knows the legend that every part of them is a treasure.
Intelligent people could immediately tell what tricks the Limitless Sect was up to, while those mortals who were unaware of the inside story, based on a few hearsay rumors, condemned Sang Ying and Jiang Zhuoxue as villains full of schemes and treachery.
Negative rumors about several cultivators from the Immortal Spirit Realm were circulating everywhere, and even Sword Frost Cliff and Star-Forging Sect, who were somewhat close to Sang Ying, were being secretly smeared.
Several young disciples dressed in Sword Frost Cliff attire were naturally indignant upon hearing this. In particular, their junior brother, whom they had brought down the mountain for fun, was just a child and couldn't consider the consequences. He immediately retorted.
The mortals and Rogue Cultivator around them laughed when they saw their attire, "You Sword Frost Cliff people are too naive. It was just a few jokes, why take it so seriously?"
"Little one, you'd better go back to your cultivation and get out here meddling in adults' affairs."
"Judging from how anxious they are, this rumor might not be false."
A group of people surrounded them, speaking in a sarcastic and mocking tone, leaving the Sword Frost Cliff disciples speechless.
They came out to have fun, but ended up getting themselves very angry.
Their junior brother was so angry that he burst into tears on the spot. The child, who had just escaped the beast tide, yelled at them, "You know nothing! You're ungrateful!"
Those people laughed and didn't take his words to heart.
After all, who can prove that Sword Frost Cliff ever saved anyone, and who can prove that Sang Ying ever helped the Black Tortoise Realm?
In the end, it was his senior sister who stopped him, pulling her young junior brother into her arms. She coldly mocked those who were sneering at her junior brother, saying, "You don't even know the truth, yet you make wild guesses and argue with a child not even ten years old. Ha, the Rogue Cultivator and mortals of Crane Islet City are truly brainless and petty."
The rogue Rogue Cultivator, feeling stung, all changed their expressions, while the mortals watching fell silent.
They should refrain from getting involved in the battles between cultivators.
"What do you mean by that? Who are you calling brainless?!" One of the hot-tempered men immediately became enraged and wanted to fight, even though his companion kept advising him to hold back.
At this moment, the female cultivator spoke again, "You Rogue Cultivator are too easily offended. It was just a joke, was it really necessary to take it so seriously?"
The words the Rogue Cultivator were about to utter caught in their throats, just like the anger in their hearts, which was forced to be extinguished halfway through its flame.
Hearing the female cultivator's familiar words, the faces of the group inexplicably flushed.
The group from Sword Frost Cliff had lost interest in continuing their exploration and quickly left, leaving behind only the whispers of the others. Whether what they said was pleasant or unpleasant, they no longer cared.
Only the few Rogue Cultivator stared intently at their retreating figures, muttering unconsciously, "What we just said seems to have really hurt."
Ah, I think so.
Even though the matter of the evil dragon was causing a huge uproar outside, the Limitless Sect was calmly and methodically preparing for the upcoming grand feast.
They built a high platform on the main peak of the Limitless Sect, with the execution platform at the very top being the highest, to ensure that everyone who came here could clearly see what was happening above.
They purchased a large quantity of spirit fruits and spirit wine, hoping to give their guests a pleasant visitor experience.
The entire sect was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and everyone was excitedly discussing what was about to happen. Sang Ying glanced around and saw that almost the entire Black Tortoise Realm was happy for Jiang Zhuoxue's impending death.
She closed her eyes, quietly awaiting the upcoming Dragon-Slaying Assembly.
This name is much more impressive than "Dragon-Slaying Grand Assembly".
Amidst the anticipation of the crowd, the long-awaited Dragon-Slaying Assembly finally commenced.
The weather in Crane Islet City was exceptionally fine that day, Limitless Sect welcomed and saw off many prominent figures in the Black Tortoise Realm.
They stopped at the seats opposite the Dragon-Slaying Platform, exchanging compliments with Sect Master Wu and the others while their gazes fell upon the towering Dragon-Slaying Platform.
Xuan Lin stood respectfully beside Sect Master Wu, taking in the expressions of everyone present. The greed in their eyes was now clearly visible.
On the high Dragon-Slaying Platform, a half-person-long sword hangs in mid-air, waiting for the cultivators below to cut off the Spiritual Power so that they can slice the person on the platform in half.
To ensure the smooth running of today's Dragon-Slaying Assembly, Sect Master Wu spared no expense, forging this sharp blade from extraterrestrial meteorite iron, determined to use Jiang Zhuoxue's death to establish an unparalleled reputation for his Limitless Sect!
Sang Ying was seated in the furthest position from the Dragon-Slaying Platform, but even sitting there, she could still see the deadly blade on the Dragon-Slaying Platform when she looked up.
This is truly a sword perfectly suited for slaying dragons.
The Limitless Sect was a large place, but it couldn't accommodate all the cultivators from the Black Tortoise Realm. After the seats that had been allocated were all taken, the disciples guarding the mountain gate no longer allowed anyone else to enter.
Even so, some people still shouted and yelled, trying to force their way in.
On such an important day, the disciples naturally dared not relax their vigilance and quickly stopped the man. "Who are you? Do you have an invitation to barge in? Do you know where you are?!"
Because of the rising fame of the Limitless Sect these days, even the disciples within the sect have become much more arrogant than before.
The cultivator, who had been stopped, looked anxious and explained to the group, "I have an invitation, but it was stolen! The person who stole my invitation is in this banquet. Let me in to look for them, and I'll definitely find them!"
As he spoke, the man tried to push his way in.
However, the disciples were also quite skilled, and with their combined efforts, they gave him no chance to break in.
"Ha, I've heard that a lot today. Those who want to go in and see the world and try their luck without an invitation, they all say the same thing to us. The place is already full, there's no room for you at all. You should just go back to where you came from!" Several disciples started to shoo him out, even though this man's cultivation level wasn't that of a great master.
With the combined efforts of several people, they drove him directly outside the mountain gate.
This is why the disciples became even more convinced that this person was not a guest invited by their sect leader. After all, could someone like him, who had neither reputation nor cultivation, possibly be allowed into an occasion like this?
The monk who was kicked out sighed, pointed at the group of people and scolded them for looking down on him, saying that if the person who stole his invitation did something bad inside, he would blame them for it!
After uttering these harsh words and seeing that few people bowed their heads, the cultivator finally left with a sigh.
At the same time, the sound of gongs echoed within the Limitless Sect. As silence fell, Sect Master Wu's clear voice rang out. "The Dragon-Slaying Assembly officially begins!"
