“This technique is undoubtedly that of a Sword Immortal. I just wonder which Sword Immortal it could be!”
“Could it be Bai Li Cheng Feng, who has comprehended the Fast Sword Intent?”
Yue Yao shook her head. “I’ve seen him train at the Gui Gu Zi Academy. He’s currently a Half-Step Sword Immortal. His sword is fast, but it’s impossible for him to cleave rivers, move mountains, control tides, and subdue demons with a single strike!”
“Then who could it be? Could there be other hidden masters in the Gui Gu Zi Academy?”
Su Sheng's image flashed in Yue Yao’s mind. Could it be him?
He seemed like a refined scholar, but he was unfathomably deep. His Dog-Beating Staff Technique was so formidable that even a Half-Step Fast Sword Immortal like Bai Li Cheng Feng couldn't dodge it!
Yue Yao said, “I will go back and continue investigating. You guys stay hidden!”
“Yes!”
After Yue Yao left, Zi Yi said, “I have a feeling that Lady has changed since she entered the Gui Gu Zi Academy. Has she perhaps forgotten our plan for restoring the kingdom?”
Bai Yi said, “It’s impossible. I believe in Lady. She must have her reasons. We just need to wait patiently. I’m sure she will tell us someday.”
The Marquis of Zhenxi and his heir arrived at the Duke of Qing's manor.
Seeing the Duke of Qing's disheveled appearance, the Marquis of Zhenxi's eyes held a hint of amusement, but his tone was urgent. “Your Highness, are you alright? Many martial artists have been coming and going from this Qian Dong City lately. They’re incredibly powerful, and even I have no clue who they are. Your Highness, you should leave quickly!”
The Duke of Qing, Xiao Xie, was furious. He wanted to stay, but the killing intent emanating from that single strike made him choose to prioritize his life.
As for the secrets of the Gui Gu Zi Academy?
He might not even survive. What good would it be to investigate if he died?
“Pack up immediately. We’re returning to Tianqi City!”
“Yes!”
The outside was in chaos, but Su Sheng diligently trained the Great River Sword Intent.
Underneath the peach tree, clad in white, Su Sheng wielded the Heaven-Cutting Sword with a sharp aura. The sword light flashed, and the peaceful air around him was swept away by the sword energy. The air current surged:
“Three million Sword Immortals in the heavens, they must all lower their heads when they see me!”
In that moment, Su Sheng stood with his jade feather fan and crown, radiating a powerful aura. He was like a heavenly immortal, and that single strike!
It caused the swords in the Xuan Wu Pavilion, located far away in Tianqi City, to vibrate.
The guard of the Sword Pavilion, the Double-Pupiled Daoist!
The Double-Pupiled Daoist, born with double pupils.
“Those with double pupils are mere mortals in the Half-Step Divine Realm. Cultivators with double pupils ascend to the heavens in one step.”
These words refer to this man. No one knows the true extent of his strength.
Standing in the Sword Pavilion, observing all the famous swords tremble, the Double-Pupiled Daoist's expression changed drastically.
“The True Martial descends upon the world, and all the demons of the world are no match for him! What kind of genius has emerged to attract the resonance of countless swords?
Could he be the legendary Master of Ten Thousand Swords?”
Not only the Xuan Wu Pavilion, but also the Jixia Academy, where the Elegant Young Master, Xiao Ruofeng, and the Willow Moon Young Master were, all felt their swords humming and vibrating towards Qian Dong City.
It seemed like there was something they both revered and admired in that direction!
Xiao Ruofeng grasped his sword, his face changing. “How is this possible? Someone’s sword is causing a resonance!”
Lei Mengsha said, “No way! This is your Hao Que Sword, the eighth-ranked famous sword, the first sword of righteous energy. Would such a sword be easily affected by resonance?”
Xiao Ruofeng said, “Is it a coincidence? First, there was a mysterious expert in the Marquis of Zhenxi's mansion, and now these swords are humming towards Qian Dong City.
We haven’t found any information about the Gui Gu Zi Academy, and the Hao Que is trembling….”
“Young Master, someone just delivered a letter!”
The academy’s steward rushed in. Xiao Ruofeng took the letter, which simply had the character “晓” written on it.
Lei Mengsha said, “You asked the All-Knowing Hall for information again?”
“Yes. I spent a fortune, but I still haven't gotten any information about the Gui Gu Zi Academy.”
Lei Mengsha said, “You and Jian San are really something. He also spent a fortune to buy information from the All-Knowing Hall about a certain master, but unfortunately, he hasn’t received any news.”
Xiao Ruofeng opened the letter. The words on it were few, but each line seemed unbelievable to the two of them.
Lei Mengsha frowned. “To cause all the famous swords in the world to lower their heads. This has never happened in the world before!”
Xiao Ruofeng said, “We can’t figure out what's going on just by guessing. Let's ask Master.”
Mr. Li had clearly received the news. He was currently lying on the roof, holding a wine gourd, no longer his usual carefree self. He couldn’t understand.
He was Li Changsheng, the number one in the world. How could there be someone he couldn't find?
It shouldn’t be possible!
Unless that person was right in front of him, and he hadn’t noticed!
An idea flashed through Li Changsheng’s mind. He was about to contemplate it carefully.
Xiao Ruofeng walked quickly towards him. “Master, we want to ask you, is there any technique in the world that can cause all the famous swords to tremble and lower their heads?”
Li Changsheng said, “Of course! I, your master, can make all the swords in Tianqi City bend to my will with a single wave of my hand!”
“It’s not the swords coming to you, but the swords humming and trembling, as if they have feelings of worship… This is what the All-Knowing Hall found out.”
Li Changsheng took the message and read it. After finishing, his eyes widened in shock. “How is this possible? The swords in the Xuan Wu Pavilion are famous swords of the Immortal Palace grade…. Unless it’s a heavenly immortal, or a Sword Saint, a Master of Ten Thousand Swords, or a celestial being of that level, no one can create such a commotion!”
Xiao Ruofeng fell into deep thought. Had a celestial being more powerful than Master really appeared in the world?
Where is he?
What’s the connection to the legendary Gui Gu Zi Academy?
…
Emperor Taian, in the Imperial Study, saw the letter and his face turned pale. “Ten thousand swords resonating! Ha, didn’t Li Changsheng say he was the number one in the world?
How does he explain this resonance of ten thousand swords?”
Zhuo Qing said, “His explanation to the King of Langya was that unless it’s a heavenly immortal, or a Master of Ten Thousand Swords, or a Sword Saint-level celestial being!”
Emperor Taian's pupils contracted. “Investigate. Continue investigating. Treat this person and the mysterious figure from the Marquis of Zhenxi’s mansion as the most urgent matters. You must find out the truth!”
“Yes!”
Su Sheng, who was practicing swordsmanship at the Gui Gu Zi Academy, had no idea that simply trying to cultivate the Great River Sword Intent would cause such a commotion, causing the entire Tianqi City to descend into chaos.
This event caused all the underground forces of Tianqi City, including the All-Knowing Hall, the Shadow Sect, the Dark River, and even the five censors by the Emperor’s side, to get involved. They searched all over Tianqi City, desperate to find the expert who could make ten thousand swords bow down!
Su Sheng put away his sword, feeling the sword intent within his heart. His eyes flashed. It was truly the invincible Great River Sword Intent, capable of such power.
The breakthrough of the Great River Sword Intent and Su Sheng breaking through his own realm had awakened a desire within him: to challenge all the swordsmen in the world!
