Chapter 1317 - 1316: Ghost Lotus King

Chapter 1317: Chapter 1316: Ghost Lotus King

On the fifteenth of June, there will be a summit duel among the Youth Kings on the top of Mount Kunlun, drawing everyone’s attention to this battle. Before June even arrives, a large number of martial artists have begun their journey. They would rather arrive early than fall behind, especially those warriors far from Mount Kunlun, who started their journey months ago.

As the month of June begins, the area is already packed with people, and newcomers continuously join the throngs.

"Leader Zhao, you’re late."

"Ah, there’s no choice. My Iron Palm Sect is far away in Youzhou, twenty thousand miles from Mount Kunlun. It’s not easy to come here."

"Haha, you’ve come all the way to Mount Kunlun. Leader Zhao, you value this battle among the Youth Kings greatly."

"Of course, this is a battle among the Youth Kings, far more intense than the Nine Streams Conference."

By the Snow Mountain Lake on Mount Kunlun Summit, noise abounds, countless similar voices echoing.

Seven days pass, and the atmosphere becomes even more lively.

"Look, Star Sword Marquis and Mad Blade Marquis have arrived."

"They’re here too; it seems these Divine Marquises-level talents plan to compete at the summit of Mount Kunlun?"

"Who knows, maybe their strength has improved and they want to challenge the Youth Kings."

The crowd discusses enthusiastically, eager to witness the Divine Marquises’ duel as a warm-up before the Youth Kings commence their battle.

"Star Sword Marquis, it’s been a while."

Mad Blade Marquis dresses in a black long robe, with a long knife at his waist, his legs exceptionally long, seemingly ready to pounce and slay his enemies at any moment.

Not far from him, on a small hill stands a swordsman wearing a white robe, adorned with starry decorations, exuding a mysterious yet fierce aura like a starry sky at night.

"Mad Blade Marquis, long time no see."

"Hehe, you’re surely not here just to watch the show, are you?" Mad Blade Marquis casually remarks.

Star Sword Marquis straightforwardly replies, "Certainly not."

"Nor am I."

A sharp glint flashes in Mad Blade Marquis’ eyes.

Star Sword Marquis gazes at Mad Blade Marquis; it is no surprise he has appeared here. For them, the showdown between the Youth Kings is too invaluable to miss. Meanwhile, having lingered in their respective powers for too long, they need to step out, spar with those of similar strength, and improve themselves.

...

On the tenth day,

Gu Lei arrived.

Gu Lei’s arrival attracted much attention, few knew of his challenge to Ling Chen, but his recent victory over the King of Snowy Night has been widely spread across the Nine Provinces Land, intentionally by Gu Lei himself.

"That man is the Wild Sword King, Gu Lei."

A serious expression appeared in Star Sword Marquis’ eyes. They had seen the King of Snowy Night’s strength firsthand; defeating him means Gu Lei is formidable, potentially shining brightly in this Mount Kunlun battle.

Gu Lei’s demeanor was cold as he chose a flat hill to settle, glanced around, and retracted his gaze.

"Hasn’t that guy arrived yet?"

He frowned slightly, referring of course to Ling Chen.

"Ling Chen, my killer move has been perfected to the second level. This time, I will ensure you lose decisively."

Few knew about Gu Lei’s past defeat against Ling Chen, nor did he boast about it. Ling Chen didn’t let Lingyue Island’s disciples spread it either, so if he can beat Ling Chen on Mount Kunlun, his prior loss won’t matter nor will it matter if people find out.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The sky resounded with the sound of rushing winds as more warriors arrived. Looking up, people saw a continuous stream of figures crossing above, searching for places to land.

Among these were many young talents, arriving solo or in groups, their eyes gleaming with excitement. For veteran Saints, perhaps they are here just for the spectacle, gaining little insight, but these young talents are different, their perception exceeding the average person’s, possibly gleaning breakthroughs from the Youth Kings’ duel.

"The Mount Kunlun duel indeed has a significant impact, so many young talents have come."

On an inconspicuous hill stood two figures, a man and a woman, the man being Peerless Sword, the woman Liu Mengru.

"Our focus was too limited before, only on the young generation. Though we have few enemies among the young generation, we’re not strong in the Youth generation."

Peerless Sword shook his head, brilliance suddenly flashing in his eyes, "It was Ling Chen who drew us into the Youth generation’s competition, we perhaps owe him thanks."

If at the Nine Streams Conference he felt reluctant being overshadowed by Ling Chen, now Peerless Sword has come to terms with it; arrogance, vanity, powerlessness before strength matter little. Now he should lower his posture; no longer is he an acclaimed genius among the young generation, but an ordinary member within the Youth generation. He should endeavor step by step, like Ling Chen, to forge a path and gradually reach the summit.

He is now a Divine Marquis level genius, yet a short distance from the Youth Kings’ position.

This time, like everyone else, they came with a learning mindset.

Another two days passed.

Three days remain until the agreed battle date.

Whoosh!

From the distant sky came a figure exuding golden Buddha’s light, descending onto a mountain peak, emitting a solemn and sacred aura.

This figure resembled a golden Buddha statue, appearing majestic and dignified.

"The King of Golden Buddha has arrived!"

Many young talents’ eyes lit up as the Youth Kings finally begin to arrive.

"Greetings, King of Golden Buddha!"

"Salutations to the King of Golden Buddha."

Numerous young experts respectfully saluted the King of Golden Buddha, demonstrating their respect for this Youth King.

Just as the King of Golden Buddha recently landed on Mount Kunlun Summit, a black cloud suddenly surged from the western direction. A dozen shadowy figures quickly followed, led by a demonic woman with long green hair reaching her waist, green pupils, and barefoot on the ground. Faintly visible beneath her fair feet seemed two black Ghost Lotuses appearing and disappearing.

The King of Golden Buddha’s eyes revealed a hint of caution upon seeing this demonic woman.

Youth King of the Western Wilderness, Ghost Lotus King.
