Chapter 505: Chapter 236: Demons from the East
Tianqu City is the heart of Dongcheng.
The fundamental ground where good and evil battle.
Therefore, whether it’s inside Tianqu City or outside,
it’s not particularly surprising to find traces of the Demon Sect.
Inside the city is a bit better; though after rigorous screening, there might still be those with ulterior motives sneaking in.
But they are extremely rare.
Outside the city… it’s commonplace.
Today is critical because the Tianqu Sword Tournament has led to people from all walks of life mingling within Tianqu City.
Among them, could there be those with ulterior motives?
Could there be those who’ve been seduced by the Demon Sect, and thus, intend misdeeds?
Or are there outright members of the Demon Sect who have hidden their identities, infiltrated the city, and are fanning the flames everywhere, causing the entire Tianqu City to descend into chaos?
Ultimately giving the Demon Sect an opportunity to exploit!?
All of this needs to be considered.
And for now, the people of the Seven Great Sects have taken all these variables into account.
Even if there really is a problem within the city, it can be suppressed immediately.
But if outside the city the Demon Sect launches a large-scale attack…
It cannot be ignored.
Therefore, upon hearing that traces of the Demon Sect were discovered outside Tianqu City, Luo Changsheng’s heart tensed.
He immediately asked:
“Who came? How many are there?”
The disciple from the Yuan Shan Sword Sect delivering the message said:
“The number is not small… and except for the people from Jile Heavenly Palace who have not arrived, those from Eternal Night Valley and Youquan Sect are all present.
“It seems like a high-ranking figure is coming.”
“Where are the leaders of the Seven Sects now?”
“They are already at the top of the city walls.”
“Let’s go there as well.”
Luo Changsheng immediately headed toward Dongcheng Gate, but along the way, he also asked:
“How about Wan Cangxin’s side?”
“After the ritual of incense burning and bathing today, he is quietly waiting in the inn.
“Muyun Platform is also ready; as soon as Liu Suifeng arrives, the battle can begin.”
“How far is Liu Suifeng from Tianqu City?”
“Less than fifty miles.”
“It seems those who wanted to cause trouble didn’t succeed.”
“Not only did they not succeed…”
The expression of the disciple beside him was odd.
“Oh? Was there a change?”
Luo Changsheng glanced at him.
The person thought for a moment and said: “After leaving Jingchan Temple, Liu Suifeng hastened towards Tianqu City. The closer he got to the city, the more soaring his aura became!
“News came back, saying people have seen Liu Suifeng on the road.
“He approaches slowly yet swiftly, his eyes hazy, deeply withdrawn.
“At a glance, he seemed not of this Earth, but more like a Longsword traveling between heaven and earth!
“While the sword remained sheathed, the sound of sword chimes often surrounded him.
“Everywhere he passed, the leaves and grass within half a foot were destroyed by his Sword Qi!
“The imposing manner of such made those who intended to intercept him along the way, not dare to make a move. They just looked from afar, and their spirits were stolen.
“It’s as if a sword had formed in their hearts, and should that man contemplate a slight thought, they themselves would be split in two by this sword!”
“Hiss!!”
Luo Changsheng gasped: “It’s reached such a degree?”
“The disciple couldn’t believe it either and felt someone must be exaggerating.
“But there is no doubt that his strength has increasingly become formidable on this journey.
“Those who ambushed him were but insignificant figures.
“Even with some skills, they were no match for him.”
“Hmm.”
Luo Changsheng nodded slightly, asking no further. The two hurried along and soon arrived at Dongcheng Gate.
Leaping onto the city gate, it was clear that aside from his own Yuan Shan Sword Sect, the leaders of the other Sects had already gathered.
Vice Pavilion Master of Xiaoyao Pavilion, the Wenqing Scholar Xia Xuanran, stood smiling with a folded fan in hand.
The Eight Armed Dragon of Zhenwu Hall, Wei Chimeng, his brows deeply furrowed, his gaze fierce.
The Tianxin Sect’s Xuanyuan Xiaoshan was a woman, her face covered by a light veil, her eyes looking out toward the outside of Tianqu City with some curiosity.
And from Jingchan Temple was a little monk.
He appeared to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, his height comparable to Xuanyuan Xiaoshan, perhaps slightly shorter.
Holding a Qimei Stick that towered over him by a large margin, he stood with all the seriousness on his face while outside of Tianqu City, yet couldn’t help but stealthily scratch his nose… seemingly unaccustomed to the scent from Xuanyuan Xiaoshan.
As for Lengyue Palace, the Second Palace Master was present.
Her eyes were cold, her presence murderous, with a subtly restless demeanor.
Finally, it was the turn of the one in charge from Ziyang Sect.
This person was the current Vice Sect Leader of Ziyang Sect, Zhuo Dongming.
Zhuo Dongming, sixty-four this year, appeared as a slightly gaunt old man.
His face was full of smiles, seemingly amiable.
But no matter how Luo Changsheng looked at him, he felt that the man’s smile contained something worth punching.
Especially today, this old man with that smile told him that those thousand people had lost their way coming to Tianqu City…
Such a reason to fool a ghost, he could say.
Immediately, Luo Changsheng felt that the old man’s title of “Jiyue Qiankun” was a grand deception.
And just as Luo Changsheng was thinking this, Zhuo Dongming’s gaze had already turned toward him, immediately smiling:
“Xiao Luo has arrived.”
“…”
Luo Changsheng didn’t even want to deal with him, but still, he forced a smile:
“Senior Zhuo.”
Then he clasped his fists and greeted the others: “Greetings to everyone.”
