129: Normal people, can they fight?

“Yuanliang, how have I been teaching you all these days? The heroes of the world are as numerous as carps crossing a river; even if you are exceptionally gifted, you have not yet leaped over the Dragon Gate to transform into a true Dragon of the Nine Heavens!”

The Elder of Shen Jian Sect seemed to be educating his Disciple, but in reality, the corners of his mouth were turned up, harder to suppress than an AK.

Xuanxiao Sect was the leader of the Righteous Path, with countless Genius Disciples, and even a Prodigy like Shen Qingqiu who made the Sect Masters of various Sects gasp for breath.

But now! Shen Jian Sect had crushed Lingjian Peak of Xuanxiao Sect in the Dao of the Sword!

This also meant that their Shen Jian Sect was the undisputed number one Sect in the world when it came to the Dao of the Sword!

On the stage, Qin Yuanliang, a Disciple of Shen Jian Sect, also cupped his fists and bowed in salute, “Elder Qi is right, Yuanliang’s attainments in the Dao of the Sword are still far from those of Senior Brother.”

Speaking of this, he paused, looking at Peak Lord Huo Weixian on the high platform: “Yuanliang wants to know how big the gap is between him and a Nine Heavens Heavenly God, but Senior Brother is in perennial closed-door cultivation, so Yuanliang cannot witness it. I heard that Huo Tianyi, the number one Genius of Lingjian Peak, is comparable in strength to Senior Brother. I wonder if Yuanliang can seek guidance from this true Dragon of Lingjian Peak?”

‘Crack!’

Peak Lord Huo Weixian crushed the armrest of the chair, his Qi becoming extremely violent, and his eyes grew incredibly cold.

With just one glance, Qin Yuanliang on the stage felt as if he had fallen into a deep abyss, surrounded by sharp sword tips. If he moved even a little, his fate would be to be pierced by ten thousand swords.

“Peak Master Huo, it was just a junior’s nonsense, why do you need to get angry?” As the voice of the Elder of Shen Jian Sect sounded, the sword pressure enveloping Qin Yuanliang dissipated.

And he looked as if he had been pulled out of a water tank, drenched in sweat, his legs trembling.

Qin Yuanliang’s heart trembled violently.

Xuanxiao Sect’s second-best sword master was truly worthy of his reputation!

What? Who was the first?

That was naturally Shen Qingqiu!

“Nonsense?” Peak Lord Huo Weixian snorted coldly.

“My son, Peak Lord Huo Weixian, is a true Dragon. Since your Disciple of Shen Jian Sect wants to learn, then wait!”

As soon as these words came out, the entire audience was in an uproar.

Wait? What did that mean? Had the Peak Master really decided to let Senior Brother Huo Tianyi fight the Disciple of Shen Jian Sect?

Given their Peak Master’s attitude, the Disciples of Lingjian Peak unconsciously speculated, whispering to each other and discussing animatedly.

“Is the rumor that Senior Brother’s sword heart was shattered after losing to Shen Jian Sect’s Senior Brother false?”

“Perhaps it was a deliberately released false rumor, and in reality, he’s been secretly cultivating in seclusion to wipe away the shame. Look at the Peak Master’s firm attitude; if Senior Brother’s sword heart was truly shattered, would the Peak Master choose to accept the challenge?”

“Hiss! That makes sense! I just don’t know what stage Senior Brother has reached? Has he Breakthrough to Soul Transformation yet?”

“It is said that Xie Xuan, Shen Jian Sect’s Senior Brother, is currently in closed-door cultivation, attempting to Breakthrough to Soul Transformation. If Senior Brother Huo reaches Soul Transformation first, wouldn’t that prove Senior Brother Huo is stronger than Xie Xuan?”

“It’s not about who reaches Soul Transformation first! Why don’t you look at Senior Brother Han Li? He’s only Nascent Soul, yet he can contend with multiple Soul Transformation Elders!”

“How can you compare them? Has Xiao Zhu Peak ever recruited normal people? Everyone who comes out is a Prodigy rarely seen in a hundred years! Look at Senior Brother Shen Qingqiu of Xiao Zhu Peak, even the Sect Master accompanies him with a smile!”

“It’s fine if you don’t mention it, but once you do, I’m puzzled. Why didn’t this Yuanliang challenge Senior Brother Shen? A true Dragon, isn’t Senior Brother Shen one?”

Qin Yuanliang, who had just stepped off the stage, almost stumbled and fell to the ground upon hearing the crowd’s discussion.

Is Shen Qingqiu someone a person can fight?

Even their Sect Master would have to flee in terror when facing Shen Qingqiu. What qualifications did he have?

.....

Time quietly flowed by.

Half an hour passed in a flash, but everyone still hadn’t seen the Senior Brother of Lingjian Peak.

Elder Yu of Shen Jian Sect couldn’t help but ask in confusion, “Peak Master Huo, why hasn’t the number one Genius of Lingjian Peak arrived yet? Could it be that he’s scared?”

Peak Lord Huo Weixian glanced at him and snorted coldly.

“He’s here.”

A dark figure appeared in the sky.

Seeing this, Qin Yuanliang flew onto the stage and cupped his hands towards the figure in the sky, saying, “Qin Yuanliang of Shen Jian Sect, please enlighten me!”

After speaking, he drew his sword and waited.

However, in the very next moment.

He felt completely unwell, his sword-holding hand trembling, and both his legs shaking.

This was not Huo Tianyi at all.

This was clearly Shen Qingqiu.

Shen Qingqiu landed on the arena, looked at the Disciple of Shen Jian Sect who wanted to seek his guidance, and said faintly, “Since you’re asking for my guidance, then be quick! I still have something to discuss with Peak Master Huo.”

Qin Yuanliang: “......”

Ah? I’m fighting Shen Qingqiu?

No, I’m only a Nascent Soul!

What qualifications do I, a Nascent Soul, have to fight someone Undergoing Tribulation!

Below the stage, the Disciples of Lingjian Peak were also enjoying the spectacle, stirring up trouble.

“Senior Brother Shen, he said he wants to witness the true Dragon of our Xuanxiao Sect. You must let him witness the strength of our Xuanxiao Sect!”

“Qin Yuanliang, don’t be a coward! Go on! Compared to how you look now, I still prefer your arrogant and unruly demeanor from before!”

“Hurry up! Don’t waste Senior Brother Shen’s time!”

“Senior Brother Shen, he said to use your full power and not hold back against him. He also said, ‘If one hears the Dao in the morning, one can die in the evening without regret!’”

Holy crap!

Qin Yuanliang instantly lost his composure.

“I didn’t! It wasn’t me! Don’t talk nonsense! I never said those words! I... I’m going to fight Huo... Huo Tianyi.”

Qin Yuanliang was almost in tears. These people from Lingjian Peak were trying to roast him over a fire!

Shen Qingqiu heard this and said faintly, “If you want to fight Huo Tianyi, then go back to your Shen Jian Sect!”

As these words came out, the entire audience fell silent.

No way! Is Senior Brother Shen going to stand up for Huo Tianyi?

But soon, a Disciple thought of the key point.

“Senior Brother Han Li seems to have recently transformed Dan Peak into Elite Comprehensive Peak, specializing in cultivating Geniuses! Senior Brother Huo seems to have been sent there by the Peak Master for training!”

“I heard that Elite Comprehensive Peak implements closed management, with the entire mountain covered by a Heaven Sealing Demon Banning Array, so even the Sect Master cannot enter.”

“Even the Sect Master can’t get in? Is that true or false?”

“It is said that there are peerless Cultivation Techniques inside, and Senior Brother Huo was sent there by the Peak Master to learn the supreme Dao of the Sword, in order to reforge his sword heart!”

“How does one enter the Peak? Is there a way?”

“Yes, Junior Brother, there is...”

“I have a connection over there. You just need to wait for the next session of Peak recruitment to get in!”

While the Disciples were discussing how to enter Elite Comprehensive Peak, Shen Qingqiu had already arrived at the high platform and approached Peak Lord Huo Weixian, the Peak Master of Lingjian Peak.

“Huo Tianyi’s sword heart has already been reforged!”

“What?!” Peak Lord Huo Weixian was pleasantly surprised, his eyes almost popping out.

Was there anything more joyous than this?

Originally, he had been treating a dead horse as if it were alive, and he hadn’t expected the dead horse to actually be revived.

“Where’s Tianyi? Hurry and have him come!” Peak Lord Huo Weixian was incredibly excited. Having been mocked by the people of Shen Jian Sect all day, as the Peak Master of Lingjian Peak, he had been very aggrieved.

Now, he could finally wipe away the shame!

For Huo Tianyi, who had recovered his sword heart, defeating these Disciples of Shen Jian Sect was easier than eating and drinking.

Shen Qingqiu looked at Elder Yu of Shen Jian Sect and said faintly, “They went to Shen Jian Sect!”

“What?!”

It wasn’t just Elder Yu who was surprised.

Peak Lord Huo Weixian was too.

Having just recovered his sword heart and immediately running off to Shen Jian Sect, he knew exactly why without even thinking.

He must have gone for revenge!

Elder Yu of Shen Jian Sect also thought of this, but there was no sign of panic on his face.

“That child Xie Xuan has already Breakthrough to Soul Transformation, but he is a low-key person and dislikes making a fuss.”

“Bang!”

Peak Lord Huo Weixian suddenly stood up, “No! I must bring that little rascal back, or it will be bad!”
