Chapter 841: Arriving at the Border Dragon City!
When they heard that Ye Wushuang and the Sword Sect’s First Peak’s Sword Son, Su Qilin, would have a life-and death-battle in seven days, everyone on the Green Bat Beast was shocked and revealed expressions of antic.i.p.ation.
After all, both Ye Wushuang and Su Qilin were the top young disciples of the great sects of the Kunlun Ruins. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were the best.
Even though Fu Qiuchan and the rest were also genius disciples in the Star Sect, there was a difference between geniuses. As for peerless geniuses like Ye Wushuang and Su Qilin, even they had to look up to them.
The person who was the most nervous was not Ye Chen. Instead, it was Fu Qingqing who looked at Fu Qiuchan with slight uneasiness, “Sister, do you think Ye Wushuang can defeat Su Qilin?”
The moment she finished speaking, Fu Qiuchan became silent.
Yue Kun shook his head slightly and said, “Don’t even think about it. It’s impossible for Ye Wushuang to be Su Qilin’s opponent!”
Fu Qingqing pouted, “Why?”
“Qingqing, Senior Brother Yue is right!”
Fu Qiuchan sighed lightly and said, “I admit that Ye Wushuang is incomparably monstrous, but in the end, he’s still too young, and his rise was relatively short. On the other hand, Su Qilin is said to have joined the Sword Sect at a young age and was personally taken in as the last disciple by the Sword Sect’s sect master!”
When she spoke up to here, she took a deep breath in and spoke word by word, “Most importantly, it’s said that Su Qilin possesses the luck of a saint, and he was born with the favor of the heavens. He’s the only person in the Sword Sect that has entered the sword tomb in the past thousand years!”
“Sword tomb?” Ye Chen was surprised.
“Yes, the sword tomb!”
Fu Qiuchan glanced at him, and then she hesitated for a moment before she spoke, “The sword tomb is the most mysterious, restricted area in the Sword Sect. According to rumors, all the great figures of the Sword Sect would head to the sword tomb before they pa.s.sed away. It contains the inheritances and fortuitous encounters left behind by countless great figures….”
“Hmph!
“I still think Ye Wushuang will win!”
Fu Qingqing lost her confidence after hearing what Fu Qiuchan said. However, she still pouted stubbornly. She turned her head to look at Ye Chen and said, “Brother Ye, do you think Ye Wushuang will win?”
“He’ll definitely win. I believe in him!” Ye Chen smiled lightly, his eyes filled with trust.
Wushuang was not the so-called Undying Sword Body, but the incarnation of the Imperial Heavenly Emperor Sword’s Sword Spirit. If he could not even defeat a mere Sword Son of the Sword Sect, it would be a disgrace to the status of the Imperial Heavenly Emperor Sword’s Sword Spirit.
Fu Qingqing was extremely satisfied with his reply. Her face brightened up as she said, “Hehe, Brother Ye has good taste…”
Ye Chen looked at her with a weird expression. He thought to himself, ‘This girl hasn’t even met Wushuang yet. Could she have fallen for him? Would she be so infatuated that she can’t walk when she sees him in person?’
“What taste?”
Yue Kun looked at him with disdain, “As expected of someone who has never seen the world. Do you know what the Sword Dao is?”
Ye Chen smiled without saying anything.
Fu Qiuchan took a good look at Ye Chen again and lowered her head without saying a word. Her eyes flickered non-stop as if she was thinking about something.
…
The Tuocang Mountain was located at the southeast area of the Kunlun Ruins. The mountain was a branch of the No. 1 mountain range in the Kunlun Ruins, the Broken Soul Mountain Range. It spanned an area of over 3,000 kilometers, and there were almost 20 cities within it. Its population was over 10 million, and it possessed abundant spiritual energy and mineral resources, causing countless cultivators in the Kunlun Ruins to be extremely envious.
However, no one dared to have any designs on Tuocang Mountain. The place was where the 12 ancient clans of the Kunlun Ruins were located. The 12 ancient clans guarded this place and shook the entire Kunlun Ruins. Even the three sects and four groups had to respect them.
At the eastern part of the Tuocang Mountain stood a majestic city. The city gate was embedded with nine soaring dragons, and on it were a few extremely majestic words—Border Dragon City!
At this moment, less than 300 meters away from Border Dragon City, a huge bat descended from the sky. When it landed on the ground, several figures rushed down from it.
When the surrounding pedestrians saw those people’s clothes, they could not help but reveal fear on their faces and subconsciously retreated to the side.
“They’re from the Star Sect!”
“The Star Sect is one of the three sects and four groups. I didn’t expect that they would also come to attend the Xiao clan’s birthday celebration. This shows the status of the 12 ancient clans in the Kunlun Ruins!”
“That mount is even more powerful than my master…”
Countless people discussed in secret. Their eyes that looked at the figures would occasionally flash with respect, but most of them were burning with desire.
At this moment, dozens of figures with powerful auras suddenly rushed out from within Border Dragon City. These people were all wearing dragon armor, and the leader was a burly man with a dark complexion.
“It’s Border Dragon City’s City Governor, Nie Yuan!”
Someone in the crowd exclaimed.
Nie Yuan directly rushed to Fu Qiuchan and the others’ side, cupped his fists and laughed loudly, “I, Nie, welcome all Star Sect’s paragons to my Border Dragon City!”
“City Governor Nie is too kind!”
In the crowd, Yue Kun once again returned to his casual appearance. The aura of the high sect disciple was undoubtedly revealed, including Fu Qiuchan and the rest behind him.
“I have already arranged a place for everyone to stay. Please follow me!” Nie Yuan seemed to be used to the temper of these supreme sects. He led everyone into Border Dragon City with incomparable politeness.
Ye Chen only found out that the Xiao clan owned three major cities through their conversations along the way. Border Dragon City was the largest of the three cities, and the birthday celebration was held in the city.
Along the way, the people in Border Dragon City were not as crowded as those in Qingyang City. On the contrary, the streets appeared rather deserted. It was obvious that Nie Yuan had already imposed martial law on Border Dragon City in order to welcome the people from the three sects and four groups.
In the end, Nie Yuan led everyone into the biggest inn in Border Dragon City, the Wuling Inn. This inn was specially built by Border Dragon City for distinguished guests, so it was rather extravagant.
“Everyone, our Border Dragon City’s conditions are limited, unlike your esteemed sect which is in a paradise on earth. Please forgive us if our hospitality is lacking!”
After Nie Yuan arranged for everyone to stay, he seemed to have thought of something and said, “Oh right, our Border Dragon City will have an auction in two hours!
“Everyone, if you’re interested, you can try your luck. Supposedly, a precious medicine and a sword of a Sword Sect disciple will be auctioned!”
Yue Kun and the rest were not interested in the so-called auction in the beginning, but they could not help but have their interest piqued when they found out that there was precious medicine and the sword of a Sword Sect disciple.
“The sword of a Sword Sect disciple?”
Fu Qiuchan said in astonishment, “City Governor Nie, your Border Dragon City actually dares to auction the sword of a Sword Sect disciple?”
After all, the Sword Sect viewed swords as their lives, and they would always act in an overbearing manner. Since they dared to auction their sword, it was equivalent to going against the Sword Sect!
“This isn’t the sword of an ordinary disciple of the Sword Sect!”
Nie Yuan revealed a teasing smile, “It’s said to be the sword of the Sword Sect’s Ninth Peak’s Sword Son, Ye Wushuang!”
Whoosh…
As soon as he said that, everyone was shocked. Even Ye Chen’s expression gradually sank. A cold gleam flashed in his eyes as he looked at Nie Yuan.
