“Everyone, this year's Name Sword Villa Sword Trial is now over. The Name Sword Villa's Hundred Year Sword Mountain has been destroyed, so I cannot entertain you any longer. Please leave on your own.”
Wei Ting Lu, the Head of the Name Sword Villa, was depressed, and he spoke in this irritable manner.
All the martial arts experts began to leave, muttering to themselves.
The Qingcheng Mountain group, led by Wang Yi Xing, gave a slight bow to Xiao Cheng Xuan. In terms of seniority, the other was a young prince; in terms of strength, the other was a dual sword and blade immortal.
Therefore, even though Wang Yi Xing was the head disciple of Qingcheng Mountain, he held Xiao Cheng Xuan in high regard.
“Your Highness, this humble one still needs to rush back to the mountain to find a gift for my junior brother and report back. If I have the chance, I will definitely ask to learn your sword art!”
Xiao Cheng Xuan slightly nodded in acknowledgment, and Wang Yi Xing left.
And the old man from the Wushuang City stepped forward:
“Martial King Your Highness, with your extraordinary talent, all the world’s prodigies are like fireflies compared to the moon in the sky. Wushuang City takes its leave. We welcome Your Highness to visit us at any time!”
Then, he gave a provocative and mocking look to Wen Hu Jiu!
The elder, with a somewhat disheartened Song Yan Hui, left under the protection of the Wushuang City guards.
Not long after, the martial arts experts who had participated in this Sword Trial left in droves.
Those who stayed...
Still did not know that their swords had been ruthlessly sacrificed by Xiao Cheng Xuan!
A group of people waited anxiously in place, still fantasizing that their swords, which had vanished into thin air, would also reappear out of thin air.
However, the outcome was destined to disappoint them.
Meanwhile, Xiao Cheng Xuan stood on the platform, his entire demeanor like a banished immortal, perfectly flawless.
After all, after breaking through to the Apprentice Rank 6, equaling the Great 逍遥 Realm, Xiao Cheng Xuan's aura had become even more perfect and flawless.
And the advancement of his gene primal energy had further evolved his cells, genes, bones, and other aspects on a deep level.
It could be said that Xiao Cheng Xuan standing here was inherently charming!
Blood Shadow Ye Yu, the black and white loli, and Si Kong Chang Feng all came behind Xiao Cheng Xuan and stood respectfully.
At the moment he saw the black-robed Blood Shadow Ye Yu.
The Head of the Name Sword Villa, Wei Ting Lu, his eyes contracted sharply, his heart trembling.
He could sense the terrifying power of this black-robed cultivator, no less than Wen Hu Jiu.
That means he was at least a 扶摇 Realm or even higher being.
This Martial King Your Highness, himself a dual sword and blade immortal, was an unprecedented, unheard-of prodigy.
And he actually had such a powerful black-robed bodyguard under him.
How could this not shock Wei Chang Ting, the leader of the first-rate martial arts factions?
“Your Highness, please come to the living room, let this old man do the honors!”
Wei Ting Lu respectfully extended an invitation, and Xiao Cheng Xuan did not refuse.
“Your Highness… this… my nephew has gotten into a big mess, I have to take him back and hide him first, please forgive me, Your Highness. When I have the chance, I will bring this kid to apologize to Your Highness!”
Wen Hu Jiu, carrying the drunken, unconscious Bai Li Dong Jun, looked embarrassed.
The Western Chu Sword Song, the sword art that should have been extinguished with the destruction of Western Chu.
It involved the former sword immortal and Confucian immortal, two peerless masters from Western Chu, and even involved the royal family and the Marquis of the West.
Now that it had resurfaced, Wen Hu Jiu could tell with his toes that...
A storm was about to come.
Therefore, the best course of action was to take little Bai Li Dong Jun and run.
Otherwise, if this Your Highness wasn't happy and just started chopping people up, Wen Hu Jiu wouldn't be able to stop him.
“Mr. Wen, do as you please, we will see each other again soon!”
Xiao Cheng Xuan spoke, and Wen Hu Jiu was relieved. He carried Bai Li Dong Jun and ran away in a flash.
Ye Ding Zhi was a little worried about his good brother.
At this moment, his gaze towards Xiao Cheng Xuan was complex.
After all, his Ye family had been implicated in the past by the Emperor Tai An, with the order being read by the Qing King Xiao Xie in person, leading to the confiscation and destruction of their family!
Seeing the most dazzling prodigy of the royal family, Ye Ding Zhi naturally had mixed feelings.
However, he was innocent, and he had his own grudges. Ye Ding Zhi was open and honest, and he would seek revenge on the Qing King and Emperor Tai An.
He was just about to bow and take his leave, but then Xiao Cheng Xuan spoke:
“Brother Ye, come with this king, believe this king, there will be a surprise waiting for you.”
Hearing this, Ye Ding Zhi was stunned, but he did not refuse!
This was his chance to get to know the Xiao royal family.
A moment later, everyone was in the living room of the Name Sword Villa.
Xiao Cheng Xuan sat on the main seat, sipping his fragrant tea.
Wei Chang Ting, standing beside him, looked at his son, Wei Chang Feng, who looked puzzled, then directly knelt down before Xiao Cheng Xuan:
“Your Highness, those more than 80,000 swords were the foundation of our Name Sword Villa. Now that our foundation has disappeared overnight, the Name Sword Villa fears that it may not be able to survive. Please point out a path forward for our Name Sword Villa, Your Highness!”
Xiao Cheng Xuan did not speak, but his eyes were playful.
“Your Highness, although our Name Sword Villa is a neutral force, we are in the world of martial arts, and we have many enemies. Now that the Sword Mountain and Sword Forest have been destroyed, I beg Your Highness, save our Name Sword Villa!”
Seeing that Xiao Cheng Xuan was not speaking, Wei Chang Ting gritted his teeth and said with tears streaming down his face.
It was as if he was saying, if you don't save me, I'll die for you.
“Alright, Villa Head Wei, you are a smart man!”
“Although the Sword Mountain and Sword Forest have been destroyed, this king just created a deep chasm for the Name Sword Villa with a single sword, a chasm several miles long, and it contains this king's sword immortal sword intent.”
“You can protect it and use it for the Name Sword Villa disciples to experience and cultivate.”
“Also, the original Sword Mountain was able to cultivate divine swords because there was a naturally formed fire stone vein underneath it!”
“This king has already split it open for you. In the future, the Name Sword Villa can mine there, build a sword-making furnace, and with this king's sword intent surrounding it, sword-making will be twice as effective!”
“When it is properly managed, this chasm will surpass the Sword Mountain and become a holy place of swordsmanship in the hearts of all swordsmen in the world, and the Name Sword Villa will become the number one sword-making holy place within five years, surpassing the Sword Heart Mound!”
Xiao Cheng Xuan's words shocked the kneeling Wei Ting Lu, instantly making him look refreshed. He went from tears to laughter.
Wei Chang Feng, standing beside him, was dumbfounded. This was the first time he had seen his father like this!
“Da… dare I ask Your Highness, for this great kindness, how can our Wei family repay you?”
While laughing, Wei Ting Lu looked at Xiao Cheng Xuan anxiously and cautiously, asking.
Xiao Cheng Xuan stroked the ring on his finger, the Dark God suit ring, paused for a moment, and said:
“Weapon-making, this is the arms business, it's extremely profitable!”
“If the Wei family joins this king's banner, they will receive this king's protection. The profits from weapon-making will be split six for this king and four for you. If you don't want to follow this king, then fine, this king will do this business himself!”
Hearing this, Wei Ting Lu trembled.
Looking at Xiao Cheng Xuan's playful gaze, then at the black-robed Ye Yu, Wei Ting Lu made up his mind:
“Wei Chang Ting, along with the Name Sword Villa, is willing to join Your Highness's banner!”
“From now on, I will serve Your Highness loyally, and die without regret!”
Hearing this, Xiao Cheng Xuan smiled and stood up, helping Wei Ting Lu up:
“Villa Head Wei, congratulations on making the right choice, pleasant cooperation!”
Looking at Xiao Cheng Xuan's warm and jade-like smile.
Wei Ting Lu's heart felt cold.
He had a hunch, a feeling.
If he had chosen not to submit.
This king might have destroyed the entire Name Sword Villa.
