Chapter 260: Chapter 242: Sword Tomb Sword Master, Fuu Qingxu!
"Damn, they’ve really joined forces..."
At the foot of the mountain, countless cultivators who had come to witness the grand event looked at the scene, unable to resist exchanging glances, seeing the astonishment in each other’s eyes.
Ye Liancheng and several other prominent talents were very familiar with this piece of news.
There had long been rumors.
But seeing these few individuals emerge together from the Sikong family’s carriage made it all the more intriguing.
"Sikong Nan was in the Sikong family, the Qilin Child, but was killed by Chen Zhixing, the Third Young Master, months ago. Afterwards, Sikong Yuan, the Guardian Envoy of Celestial Gate City, led an army to hunt Chen Zhixing down, but was defeated again!"
"Even the Nirvana Powerhouse of the Sikong family, Sikong Xuan, was slain by Elder Nether from the Ziwei Chen Family at the junction of two states!"
"The Sikong family is known for exacting vengeance for even the smallest offenses, so how could they possibly let such a major vendetta go easily?"
"I fear that those few, including Ye Liancheng, are exactly who the Sikong family intends to use against Chen Zhixing, the Third Young Master!"
Many cultivators couldn’t help but speak in hushed tones, discussing quietly.
"While Ye Liancheng and the others are strong, they’re not particularly terrifying. Even though their rankings were far above Sikong Nan’s seventh place, their strength is not to the point of heaven and earth difference. Considering Chen Zhixing’s achievement of killing seven great talents with a flick of the finger months ago, even if they join forces, they would only be equally matched at best!"
"The true threat lies with this mysterious figure... Sin!"
As they spoke, everyone’s gaze instinctively turned toward the figure standing atop the mountain peak, covering the lower half of his face—Sin.
Months ago, Chen Zhixing killed seven prominent talents within the Five Elements Thunder Sect, shaking the world, and stirring public excitement!
Yet this Sin, upon their emergence, similarly killed seven mighty figures of the True Self Realm, perfectly replicating Chen Zhixing’s achievement from that time!
Although Sin lacks the subsequent feat of Chen Zhixing’s, in which he repelled Lei Huatian of the Nirvana Realm and left calmly.
In everyone’s eyes, Sin’s power is evidently also profound beyond comprehension!
This combined effort...
Everyone exchanged glances, seeing solemnity in each other’s eyes.
...
...
Meanwhile.
On a peak opposite Immortal Suspended Mountain.
A young figure, dressed in the Black Dragon Emperor’s Robe, handsome with defined and angular features, between whose brows lay an aura of authority without anger, stood with hands behind his back at the mountaintop.
Wisps of mountain breeze gently lifted the hem of this figure’s clothing.
"Your Excellency, this time you can act freely on Immortal Suspended Mountain, Master Number One will be watching you from the shadows."
Black Robe Shijiu stood behind Chen Zhaosheng, speaking respectfully.
"Watching me from the shadows... hehe."
Chen Zhaosheng’s mouth pulled slightly, eyes flashing with a trace of ridicule.
Monitoring is what it is; why dress it up so grandly?
"Understood."
Chen Zhaosheng changed the subject, saying indifferently, "How’s the plan deployment going?"
Black Robe Shijiu nodded, saying, "Rest assured, everything is ready. As soon as Your Excellency steps onto Immortal Suspended Mountain, with one signal from you, the plan will immediately be executed."
"Hmm."
Chen Zhaosheng nodded, and then stepped forward toward the mountain edge.
Boom!
A burst of power from heaven and earth automatically lifted Chen Zhaosheng up, forming invisible steps before him.
Chen Zhaosheng donned a mask and walked step by step toward the peak of Immortal Suspended Mountain.
A moment later.
The entire Immortal Suspended Mountain erupted into a commotion.
"Wui Duolong... has arrived!!!"
...
...
Time passed slowly.
Within Immortal Suspended Mountain, more and more top forces continued to enter!
Swoosh—!
A cyan sword light shot from the horizon.
At first, this cyan sword light was merely a tiny black speck, but in the blink of an eye, the distant black speck transformed into a dazzling cyan light that swept across the heavens, filling everyone’s view!
Stretching across the sky, traversing sun and moon!
The cyan light gradually dissipated, transforming into a slender, tall, cold youth in cyan with black hair.
"Sword Tomb Sword Master... Fuu Qingxu!"
In an instant, countless cultivators from around the world looked at this cold figure, their eyes twitching.
This figure, upon their appearance, effortlessly defeated various Sword Tao Grandmasters, and in recent months, has been extremely formidable!
Especially after Sword Tao Grandmaster Chai Qingchi commented on Fuu Qingxu, stating that purely in terms of sword dao and technique, he is already not weaker than those post-Nirvana, which thrust his fame to the peak!
Sword Master Fuu Qingxu walked step by step toward the mountaintop of Immortal Suspended Mountain, the East Profound Order at his waist flashing with profound yellow light, suddenly breaking through Immortal Suspended Mountain’s barrier, landing calmly at the peak.
"Fuu Qingxu..."
Ye Liancheng and the others looked toward him, narrowing their eyes.
Even separated by dozens of yards, they could feel the sharp, needle-like sword qi unconsciously emanating from Fuu Qingxu’s body.
Fuu Qingxu’s gaze swept over the faces of the group before resting faintly on the face of Chen Zhaosheng, who was meditating alone in the distance.
Then, he slowly closed his eyes, standing with his sword against a large tree.
Time passed slowly.
More and more top forces and reputed talents arrived at Immortal Suspended Mountain.
The sound of fierce discussion continued to arise at the foot of Immortal Suspended Mountain.
However, no matter how many talents gathered, the one everyone anticipated most, Chen Zhixing, never entered.
Although the likes of Sword Tomb Sword Master Fuu Qingxu, whose sword dao is not inferior to Nirvana, or Wui Duolong, whose divine techniques are exquisitely mysterious, even defeating a Nirvana Great Power with ease!
But throughout history.
The only one who could truly use their True Self against a Nirvana without holding back in battle is Third Young Master Ziwei, Chen Zhixing!
Rumble—!
A thousand-foot-long, entirely scarlet Red Dragon darted through the clouds!
Before the Red Dragon even arrived, its blazing breath swept forth, stirring a gale.
At the dragon’s head stood several figures facing the wind.
Leading them was an elderly man with white hair and beard, but his complexion was somewhat dark as he stood holding a long spear.
This man was none other than the Holy Master of Celestial Wave Sacred Lands, Qin Tianzhong!
Behind him stood the two sent by Celestial Wave Sacred Lands to partake in the East Profound Domain competition.
North Peak’s top disciple, Gai Rong!
One of North Peak’s three true inheritors, Peng Nai!
"Such excitement."
Peng Nai grinned, revealing sharp teeth.
Qin Tianzhong stood with hands behind his back and spoke in a deep voice, "In this East Profound Domain competition, the gathered talents from various races don’t require you to rank high here; simply find and retrieve as many ancient rewards within Immortal Suspended Mountain as possible."
Gai Rong smiled and replied, "Rest assured, Sect Leader. I will do my best to collect more ancient rewards within Immortal Suspended Mountain for our sect."
After speaking.
Gai Rong lowered his head, gazing toward the hundreds of figures already standing atop Immortal Suspended Mountain.
His eyes gradually filled with a prideful fighting spirit.
After all, he had once... fought hundreds of rounds against Chen Zhixing without defeat!
Looking across the entire East Profound Domain, discounting Chen Zhixing, who else but Gai Rong?
"Go."
Qin Tianzhong nodded.
Thump! Thump!
Both Gai Rong and Peng Nai stepped forward onto Immortal Suspended Mountain peak.
At the Red Dragon’s head.
Qin Tianzhong glanced back from the corner of his eye.
Only to see a massive flying ship adorned with the Ziwei Flower totem slicing through the sky!
All at once.
The whole of Immortal Suspended Mountain seemed to lift their heads, eyes collectively turning toward the imposing ship symbolizing the identity of the Ziwei Chen Family!
The real highlight.
The Ziwei Chen Family... has arrived!!!
