288: Spirit Heart Sword

At this moment, the center of Xuantian City was packed with people, with not a single empty seat. For this martial arts competition to find a spouse, countless people had rushed from all over to witness the excitement.

Suddenly, a golden, resplendent high platform slowly appeared in everyone's line of sight in the sky. Everyone below looked up in unison.

On the golden high platform, a dozen figures sat on auspicious, festive dragon-patterned chairs, red and gold in color.

These individuals were all the highest echelons of the Profound Weapon Pavilion.

And in the very center of these people were two figures.

One of them was a middle-aged man with a majestic aura.

This person was none other than Chu Fengyun, the Pavilion Master of Profound Weapon Pavilion, a top expert of the Supreme Realm!

As Chu Fengyun's aura swept across, the previously noisy scene instantly quieted down.

Even though there were countless cultivators present, including many top experts of the Emperor Realm, not a single person dared to make a loud noise; instead, they all looked up at the high platform with solemn and respectful expressions…

Next to Chu Fengyun was another person, a woman.

The woman wore a rather luxurious red wedding dress, her eyes like stars, her face like a peach blossom, making her appear radiant and exceptionally dazzling.

The woman said nothing, merely sitting there quietly, giving off a very demure impression.

However, for some reason, although the woman was just sitting there, she gave everyone an incredibly preposterous illusion: her aura actually overshadowed Chu Fengyun's!

But how was this possible?

"Gulp."

"Hiss--"

Upon seeing the heavenly beauty of the woman on the high platform, countless sounds of swallowing could be heard.

There was no other reason: the woman on the high platform was too beautiful!

So beautiful that she far exceeded their imagination!

They had originally thought that the eldest miss of Profound Weapon Pavilion, being so mysterious and elusive, must have some unspeakable secret!

But now it seemed she just wanted to keep a low profile!

If she were to be publicly displayed, she would likely cause a sensation wherever she went!

Such heavenly beauty, even the four Immortal Maidens of Qianyan Immortal Domain were probably no match!

Below the platform, upon seeing the true face of the eldest miss of Profound Weapon Pavilion, countless young prodigies who were about to participate in the martial arts competition trembled even more, their fists clenched tightly, their bodies shaking, their eyes filled with raging flames, as if they were ready to fight to the death!

Before seeing Chu Lingxin, what they valued and cared about more was the background of Profound Weapon Pavilion and Chu Fengyun's cultivation in the Supreme Realm!

As for the appearance of Chu Fengyun's daughter, that was not important!

But when they saw Chu Lingxin's true face, their mindset completely changed!

Chu Lingxin's peerless heavenly beauty alone was worth them fighting to the death!

They would fight!

On the high platform, facing the fervor of the crowd below, Chu Lingxin's expression remained unchanged, as if she had long known all of this…

Elsewhere, Forging Yuanba of the Bai Duan Sect trembled, looking at the high platform with a greedy expression. His fists cracked as he clenched them.

"Forger Yu, I've changed my mind. I must take first place. I must have her, even if it means becoming a live-in son-in-law, I won't hesitate!"

Hearing Forging Yuanba's words, the Emperor Realm elder beside him was suddenly startled.

"Ba'er, no, you are the future hope of our Bai Duan Sect. How can you be so infatuated with matters of men and women!"

However, Forging Yuanba shook his head.

"Forger Yu, my mind is made up. You don't need to say anything more!"

Duan Yu's body stiffened. He was about to say something more but was mercilessly interrupted by Forging Yuanba.

At this moment, the elder named Duan Yu suddenly looked at the high platform with a wary expression.

It seemed that Forging Yuanba, this card, was wasted.

Even if he performed exceptionally well and won first place, given his current behavior, he would likely only end up as the other party's dog, useless for any significant purpose!

...

"Oh, master, another succubus?"

Beside Mu Wuchen, Little Fox Su Meier, with eyes full of autumn water, gently leaned into Mu Wuchen's embrace, nuzzling him, allowing Mu Wuchen to lightly wrap his arm around her slender waist, completely disregarding the fact that they were surrounded by people…

She gently raised her head, looking at Mu Wuchen's face with a pair of beautiful pink eyes, her breath like orchids, emitting a soft and pleasant voice.

Beside them, Luo Shuihan looked at Mu Wuchen and Little Fox with a slight blush.

Mu Wuchen glanced at the fervent young prodigies around him, then looked at the woman on the golden high platform, nodding slightly.

At this moment, Mu Wuchen's expression was clear, completely unlike the fervor of the people around him.

"Lingxin Sword, how interesting."

Mu Wuchen slowly spoke.

That's right, through his Heavenly Eye, he already knew the identity of the woman on the high platform!

The woman's true identity on the high platform was exactly as he had predicted earlier: like Hongyu, Azure Cloud, Green Scale, and Frozen Snow, she was also a Sword Maiden!

And she was even stronger than the other four swords!

Her luck value was a full 12,000!

Hongyu and Azure Cloud were worth 3,000 luck points, Green Scale and Frozen Snow were worth 6,000 luck points. If he could obtain the Lingxin Sword before him, he would have gained a total of 30,000 luck points!

This was higher than the luck possessed by any of the previous luck heroines he had encountered!

When Mu Wuchen obtained the other four Little Sword Girls, he had a vague feeling that something was missing.

Now it seemed that the Lingxin Sword on the high platform was very likely the chief of the other four swords!

The five swords: Hongyu represented swiftness, Azure Cloud represented change, Green Scale represented slaughter, Frozen Snow represented protection…

And the Lingxin Sword before him was very likely the missing Sword of Wisdom!

Thus, the confusion and doubts that had once arisen in his heart instantly vanished.

They were replaced by clarity and desire. This Lingxin Sword also belonged to him.

And what Little Fox Su Meier had just said, "another succubus," naturally referred to the Lingxin Sword on the high platform.

Mu Wuchen surveyed his surroundings, smiling faintly.

The fact that countless young prodigies around him displayed such fervent expressions was certainly not entirely due to their weak will or being blinded by lust, but precisely due to the influence of the Lingxin Sword on the high platform…

This Lingxin Sword, as its name suggested, not only possessed extremely high wisdom herself but could also subtly influence people's hearts…

Normally, these young prodigies, even if they had seen the true four Immortal Maidens of Qianyan Immortal Domain, would probably not be so out of control. They might even feel inferior and not dare to approach…

Just as Mu Wuchen often kept Little Fox and Luo Shuihan by his side, as his strength grew, most onlookers were only envious, and almost no one dared to come and cause him trouble or even fight him…

And the Lingxin Sword on the high platform was clearly, unknowingly, amplifying their desires…

But what was her purpose?
