“Wuwuwu... my dream of being a Swordsman...”
“Don’t cry. Victory and defeat are common in war. I also lose to Ice Cube... Uh, well, there are many professions, and every profession has its top talent. If it really doesn’t work, why don’t you learn the hammer from me?”
“Wuwuwuwu!!!”
“Alright, alright, how about I compensate you with a good sword?”
“What do you know? This is my beloved Treasure Sword, an elder’s expectation of me. It grew up with me since I was little, and I regard it as...”
“Here, this sword is named Cloud Thunder. I bought it at the Qizhen Sea Market auction in the East Sea. It is a Treasure Artifact, worth sixty...”
“Hiss...”
Tang Liu, the dream-shattered young man, threw away his ‘beloved’ sword and hugged his new favorite, his expression overjoyed, as if he were admiring a rare treasure.
Li Mo: “...”
If he had taken out this sword earlier, would he not have had to waste so many words and go around in such a big circle?
The numerous Jianghu people watching below were silent. Having been in Jianghu for so long, what kind of scene had they not seen?
This scene, they truly had not seen.
“Such a familiar feeling. I still remember back in Yunzhou City...”
“Actually, the broken sword can’t be entirely blamed on Li Shaoxia. Isn’t it a bit exaggerated for him to take out a Treasure Artifact sword to compensate someone? Doesn’t he know its preciousness?”
“No, no, no, it’s you who doesn’t understand Li Shaoxia.”
Elder Qian’s face was dark just now because the Qingyuan Sect’s Disciples still had a gap compared to the major Sects, and their record was dismal.
Now his face was red, because the Qingyuan Sect’s Disciple challenged someone beyond his Realm, made them cry, and then coaxed them like a child. His old face was burning.
He shouldn’t have hosted any sparring!
What should he say now?
Elder Qian glanced at Shang Wu, who was commenting on the sparring with him. After all, Shang Wu was the fighting queen, and this was one of the few times she had a chance to show her skills.
Shang Wu took a sip of wine: “Is this right? This is not right.”
Elder Qian was startled. Shang Wu was actually so reasonable today?
Before the thought could fully settle, he heard her say again:
“Why send a sword? Bullying the weak is the essence of the Profound Truth. You should provoke before fighting, and after fighting, don’t you know you should severely humiliate your opponent?”
“Later, when I make my move, I’ll give Xiao Mo another lesson!”
In addition to the sparring among the younger generation, there was naturally also a martial arts exchange session among the Sect Elders.
“...” Old Qian wiped his sweat, feeling that the important task of commenting should still be left to him.
If Shang Wu stepped in, he was afraid that the crowd who came to congratulate would turn into a crowd looking for a fight.
“Cough, it was truly a wonderful Dragon-Tiger battle. Both sides showed grace, style, and their strengths, and there was even such a thing as challenging beyond one’s Realm.”
“In the end, both sides not only competed in martial arts but also deepened their friendship. Everyone is happy, everyone is happy.”
Qian Bufan said loudly, forcing himself.
Scattered applause rang out below the stage.
Tian Xun, who couldn’t see what was happening by standing on tiptoes through the noisy crowd, could only record Qian Bufan’s words in her small notebook as material for “The Legend of Liqun Sword Hero.”
Old Qian’s voice was quite loud.
Also hearing these words was the spy from the Demon Summoning Sect.
The spy secretly thought: “Unfortunately, Tang Liu couldn’t test Li Mo’s strength at all...”
He quietly left from behind the crowd and returned all the way to the Happy Sheep Hot Pot Restaurant.
In the private room on the second floor, Yuwen Cuojin was surprised to see him return so quickly and asked, “Did you find out so quickly?”
“Reporting to Deputy Leader, things are a bit different from our plan. The current generation... I’m afraid they don’t have the ability to test Li Mo.”
The spy recounted everything he had just seen.
Including how Tang Liu was made to cry by Li Mo and was only coaxed by being given a sword.
The two Deputy Leaders were silent for a moment, their eyes flickering.
Mo Chaozong, the Lingxi Gate Sect Leader, snorted: “He’s just a Fourth Realm cultivator, no matter how talented he is, can he really turn the world upside down? It’s better for us to focus on dealing with others.”
Situ Ding glanced at him and sighed: “This is why your Lingxi Gate suffered a great loss, and why my Divine Sect has been able to pass down its Legacy for thousands of years.”
“Am I wrong?” Mo Chaozong saw the disdain in the other’s eyes.
“Let me ask you a question. If a Genius who has not yet grown up establishes a life-and-death feud with your Lingxi Gate, how would Sect Leader Mo deal with it?” Situ Ding asked.
Mo Chaozong snorted: “Naturally, I would send a few Disciples whose Realm is higher than his to eradicate him, root and branch, leaving no one from his Family, not even chickens or dogs.”
“How much higher?”
“One or two Realms higher should be enough.”
Being one Realm higher is like an insurmountable chasm, and two Realms higher is like the difference between clouds and mud, like casually crushing an ant, which is very reasonable.
“What if he escapes?”
“Then send an Elder who is one Realm higher.”
“Congratulations...”
Mo Chaozong thought Situ Ding was praising him ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) for doing things flawlessly, but he did not expect the other party to slowly say:
“You let the tiger return to the mountain, creating a blood feud, and the Lingxi Gate was destroyed decades later.”
“?” Mo Chaozong’s expression froze on his face.
Situ Ding sneered: “Even a lion uses its full strength to fight a rabbit. Geniuses are mostly different from ordinary people, and fighting across Realms is common. If you only send someone one Realm higher each time, what is that if not giving him a whetstone?”
“What I said was one person one Realm higher, and another two Realms higher.” fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
“It’s already said he’s a Genius. Isn’t it normal for him to Breakthrough in battle? That’s still only one Realm higher.”
“Your Excellency is exaggerating too much. How could such a thing happen...”
Mo Chaozong was a bit unconvinced.
Situ Ding’s eyes deepened: “Who said so? Back then, the Great Yu Martial Emperor was still a refugee...”
Mo Chaozong: “...”
So, it was a personal experience. No wonder he looked so pained.
“In short, a Genius of Li Mo’s level must never be underestimated.”
Yuwen Cuojin brought the conversation back to the main topic:
“Moreover, he carries a great secret. We must ensure nothing goes wrong.”
“Secret...” Mo Chaozong’s expression was curious, but he held back from asking, fearing that knowing too much was not a good thing.
Situ Ding, however, waved his hand and smiled: “Since we are cooperating, we should be more honest. It doesn’t hurt to tell you.”
“We suspect that Li Mo carries the Legacy of the Great Shang Empire!”
Yuwen Cuojin also nodded: “If not for that, there’s no way to explain his terrifying wealth, or why his talent is so astonishing yet he chose to become a Disciple under Shang Wu. It’s a pity that Yin Hua and his son died; otherwise, we would know more details...”
The collapse of a vast Empire buried countless secrets.
The Demon Summoning Sect had long suspected that the Qingyuan Sect harbored the foundation for the Great Shang to restore its nation, but in earlier years, the Qingyuan Sect was powerful, making it impossible to search. Later, their covert investigations yielded nothing.
Eventually, this theory faded away.
It wasn’t until the rise of Li Mo and Ying Bing that they once again took this matter seriously.
