Chapter 96: Shocking the Entire Capital

“You saw those sects and forces today…”

Wu Huaqing could not help but sigh. He also saw that it was Green Lotus Princess who had stepped in to save the situation today. Otherwise, he still did not know how things would have turned out. Those guys had given up this time, but it might not be the case the next time.

These people might be afraid of the mysterious force that was behind Gu Xi, so they would not dare to act rashly. However, it would not be the case for the Supreme Purity Sect.

A man without foresight would have immediate worries. This was an opportunity for the Supreme Purity Sect. At the same time, there was also danger. If it was used properly, the Supreme Purity Sect would definitely rise to a higher grade. However, if they were careless, it was very likely that the sect would be exterminated.

The most unstable factor was Gu Xi.

“Don’t worry. I know what to do. Elder Wu, don’t worry.”

Even if Gu Xi was like this, Wu Huaqing still could not let out a sigh of relief. Those forces were not to be trifled with. If he offended any of them, the Supreme Purity Sect would probably suffer.

“That being said, you have seen those sects today. They are all coming for the Divine Sword. You can avoid it this time, but what about next time?”

Even if they did not want the Divine Sword, they would probably ask Gu Xi to help them refine another one.

Gu Xi was very mysterious. He was clearly from a small sect, but he had such powerful strength. For a moment, they did not dare to act rashly, but sooner or later, they would not be able to hold back.

If they probed again and found out that there was no so-called large organization behind him, then they would be in danger. Gu Xi understood this very well.

The so-called mysterious Master was just an excuse to create an illusion. However, Gu Xi was not afraid or worried at all. It would take time for them to find out.

If he was given time, as long as he had the System in hand, what was there to be afraid of? Sooner or later, he would be above everything!

Gu Xi knew that Elder Wu was worried, but there were some things that he could not tell him. “Elder, please rest assured. If anything happens, the sect will not be implicated.”

Wu Huaqing looked a little embarrassed. “That’s not what I meant. As a disciple of the Supreme Purity Sect, if you are in trouble, we will definitely do our best. We just hope that you can be careful. Even if you are powerful, it is hard to avoid someone scheming against you.”

Gu Xi understood Wu Huaqing’s good intentions and nodded. “I know.”

…

The news of what happened in the weapon refining arena spread very quickly. Four or five people gathered at a table in the teahouse and were discussing something enthusiastically.

The person in the lead was a middle-aged man. Although his strength and cultivation were not very strong, he was extremely well-informed. He pretended to be mysterious as he spoke. “Do you know who won the weapon refining competition this time?”

“I heard that Ou Yezi’s descendant also participated. He has the bloodline of the God of Forging. I think he should be the one to get first place.”

“The Bai Clan is powerful and rich. They have been purchasing high-quality raw materials for the competition for a long time. Therefore, there’s hope for Bai Haoyu to be in the first place.”

The man shook his head mysteriously.

“No, you’ve guessed wrong! You won’t believe it if I tell you. Neither Ou Yechen nor Bai Haoyu was his match. Furthermore, he has refined a Divine Sword, which resonates with the entire Sword Mountain!”

“A divine weapon has appeared, and there’s actually such a powerful figure. No wonder I sensed the strange movements of the Sword Mountain earlier.”

“That’s right. I originally wanted to go and watch, but because my cultivation base wasn’t high enough, I was blocked by the Sword Qi. Otherwise, I would have really wanted to watch.”

“I was fortunate enough to watch from afar. Such a scene is probably unheard of and unforgettable.”

Back then, when the swords of the Sword Mountain came out, everyone within a radius of 100 miles had sensed such a huge commotion.

They knew that it was caused by the Sword Mountain, but for some unknown reason, the powerful Sword Qi blocked their detection. Those who were not strong enough would feel slightly uncomfortable even if they approached it, so they only dared to watch from afar.

There was a flurry of discussion. The other people in the teahouse were also attracted by their conversation and urged him. “Don’t keep us in suspense. What exactly happened in the arena that day?”

“That person is Gu Xi. He appeared out of nowhere and spent a few days and nights to finally refine a world-shaking Divine Sword. The scene at that time was so profound that it seemed like the end of the world was coming and the world was collapsing…”

The man’s words were extremely exaggerated as if he had seen them with his own eyes.

The others could not help but look at him suspiciously. “Is there such a powerful person? Are you bragging?”

“If the Ten Thousand Swords Court Sect said that the God of Swords was there, I might have believed it, but who was Gu Xi to actually cause such a scene?”

As long as one was in the Capital, they all knew about the ancient history and legends of the Sword Mountain, so they knew about the uniqueness of the Sword Mountain.

From ancient times until now, other than the Emperor from back then and the God of Forging Ou Yezi, no one had ever been able to cause the Sword Mountain to have such a reaction.

However, Gu Xi had done it. He had even created a bigger commotion. Those who had seen the scene on the stage would understand that the phenomenon Gu Xi had caused was even more shocking than what was described. Such a scene could not be described with words.

Many people fell into deep thought. “The name Gu Xi is so familiar. I think I have heard it before.”

The person who said this suddenly patted his head, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

“Isn’t he the one who refined the Flawless pill and crushed all the alchemists in the pill refining competition? Even the Alchemy Emperor was impressed!”

Hearing this, the others also remembered. After all, Gu Xi had caused quite a stir in the Capital previously. Now that the similar situation and scene were still talking about his name, everyone could not help but have a mysterious expression on their faces.

“Could it be that he has the same name and the same surname? Gu Xi is very skilled in alchemy, and he can actually dominate the entire scene in weapon refining as well! He defeated the Bai Clan and the descendants of the God of Forging?”
