Chapter 56 – Sword Conference At Swordsman City

Three months later…

Zhou Xuanji and his companions reached Great Zhou’s customs after a long journey .

In front of the customs was a wasteland, so vast that one could not see its end .

The tall and majestic walls of Great Zhou’s custom were far higher than those of kingdoms . Looking from afar, there were numerous carriages, silhouettes flooding towards the custom gate from all directions; it looked like multiple rivers merging into the sea .

Zhou Xuanji’s dragon eagles drew much attention because of how huge they were .

He and his companions stopped when they were miles away from the custom .

“It’s in your hands . ”

He handed a storage bag to the Sword Valiant and instructed .

The sword slave nodded his head and ran toward the customs immediately .

The Sword Valiant went ahead of them to buy two beast management bags from the Great Zhou Empire . The rest of them would wait for him patiently .

After the sword slave left, some people came to them shortly after, who intended to purchase the dragon eagles .

Zhou Xuanji would never agree to sell them . He rejected them forthrightly .

What came next were waves of buyers . Some felt pity, some tried to force him to sell, but Zhou Xuanji had his ways to send them away .

They were right beside the Great Zhou Empire, after all, so no one dared to excessively push him .

Gradually, the day turned dark .

Huang Lianxin took out some firewood to build a campfire .

Zhou Xuanji touched his face . “Have the scars on my face healed?” he asked .

If not for the fact that he attained Jade Skin Golden Bones, he might have to live with the scars all his life .

The eleven-year-old child had sparkling eyes and straight eyebrows, together with his jade-like face, he was very attractive to girls .

If he were to grow a few years older, he would surely become a handsome teenager .

It had to be acknowledged that Great Zhou’s royal bloodline was extraordinary indeed .

Little Jiang Xue waved her hand and answered, “Don’t ask about it anymore . I will not give up on you no matter how ugly you become . ”

Huang Lianxin covered her mouth in laughter . She really enjoyed how Little Jiang Xue insulted Zhou Xuanji, which made her feel that her young master was no that high and lofty .

Zhou Xuanji rolled his eyes at her . “It’s not like I’m afraid that you will give up on me . ”

He looked at Huang LIanxin and sighed, “When we were young, this little girl was so adorable . She held me in her arms with such care as though I was going to melt . But now, this rebellious girl is really not offendable . ”

Little Jiang Xue glared at him and protested coquettishly, “What are you talking about!”

The fifteen-year-old girl was already looking gorgeous . With her long and delicate eyelashes, her bright eyes were beautifully attractive .

But overall, she still looked a little naive .

After another year or two, there might be some who would crave for her beauty . When that time came, it would surely be troublesome for Zhou Xuanji .

As she observed the two of them quarreling, Huang Lianxin wrapped her arms around her knees and laughed occasionally . She suddenly felt that it was not bad to live like this .

Before she met her young master, she was homeless and miserable, easily frightened . She had never lived so peacefully before .

“I’m going to be dead…” The small black snake laid on the firewood and said powerlessly .

What a pity . No one paid him any attention .

In the next few days, the Sword Valiant did not return . To search for a seller of beast management bags would require time, after all .

But Zhou Xuanji was recognized by people . Two dragon eagles and a childlike body . Isn’t he the legendary Sword God Zhou?

During those few days, many came forward to ask if he was Sword God Zhou .

And he forthrightly acknowledged . Since he was at the Great Zhou Empire, he was not afraid of the Demonic Inferno Sect .

Whenever he acknowledged his identity, the people who came forward became excited .

Ever since Sword God Zhou killed Ye E’guan, news about Sword God Zhou spread like wildfire .

Dual Sword Will!

Nine Swords!

All kinds of rumors pushed Sword God Zhou’s name to the peak . Of course, there was no consensus among the people on how powerful he really is .

Within the Great Zhou Empire, Inner Pellet cultivators were not considered top-tier .

But this did not obstruct the fantasizing of people in the lower strata .

In the beginning, some said that Sword God Zhou could only deal with Foundation Building cultivators, but now, he consecutively defeated two Inner Pellet ones .

And this time, he easily killed Ye E’guan, who was much stronger . Who knows how powerful he really was .

The Sword Valiant finally returned on the ninth day .

He handed over the two beast management bags to Zhou Xuanji .

The beast management bags were made with silver linen and were easily portable, just like storage bags .

There was a spell formation within the bags, which required blood to be bound to its owner .

Of course, it was not Zhou Xuanji’s blood, but the dragon eagles .

Soon, he let the dragon eagles enter into their bags respectively and then released them again . Afterward, he asked them how they felt .

The two giants appeared to be very excited and felt that it was comfortable and warm inside .

Zhou Xuanji was relieved to see this . He did not want to make it difficult for them .

“Look at their behavior, how can they become demon lords? Go eat shit!”

Whoosh–

Ah Big flapped his wings, and the wind blew the black snake and the Three-Eyed Rodent away .

After they landed, both of them were concussed .

The Three-Eyed Rodent shook its head and stared at the small black snake .

The latter looked up, and their eyes met .

Both became silent .

The small snake’s heart skipped a beat, and a sense of despair was upon him .

The Three-Eyed Rodent leaped and all of a sudden, sprinted, dragging the small snake along . As he watched the ground getting further away from him, he sighed miserably, “I… really spoke too much…”

Little Jiang Xue and Huang Lianxin laughed as they watched how the Three-Eyed Rodent tortured the small black snake .

But Zhou Xuanji did not turn his eyes away from the Sword Valiant . “Your breath and Qi are not stable . Did you encounter any trouble?” He asked .

The Sword Valiant wanted to say something but stopped . “Nothing…”

“Tell me!”

Zhou Xuanji glared at him, saying, “Whoever dares to bully my sword slave is slapping my face . ”

The Sword Valiant was very touched . He felt that passion for dying for someone that truly knew him .

So he told him . The beast management bags were bought in an auction, and this offended someone influential .

After he just left the city, he was surrounded and attacked . Fortunately, he was strong enough to force an opening and fled quickly .

The Yang Clan in Luoyang City .

The clan head of the Yang Clan was a Fourth Grade official in the Great Zhou Empire . His son, Yang Che, was the deputy governor of the Luoyang City . Yang Che’s cultivation was at Inner Pellet Tenth Level . Rumors had it that there were powerful Soul Fountain cultivators under him . The entire Luoyang City was under his rule .

“If the master wants revenge for me, you can defeat Yang Che during the Sword Conference . Once you win, you have the protection of Xie Wuyou . The Yang Clan will not dare to do anything to you no matter how much they hate you . ”

Zhou Xuanji squinted his eyes . “Can there be killing in the Sword Conference?”

When his sword slave was surrounded, their intention was to kill his sword slave .

Merely teaching them a lesson would not do .

The Sword Valiant understood what Zhou Xuanji meant and replied, “Swords are sharp weapons . If accidents were to happen in a heated fight… It would not be against the rules . ”

In this world, the powerful reigns supreme .

Those who dared to participate in the Sword Conference risked their life .

Zhou Xuanji nodded, “We will move out tomorrow to register for the Sword Conference . ”

On the morning of the second day, the group entered the city .

The venue for the Sword Conference was in Swordsman City, which was close to Luoyang City .

Swordsman was the title of Xie Wuyou when he was young . That year, he also entered the Hero Ranking Board and Reputation Ranking of Great Zhou . His fame was comparable to today’s Xiao Jinghong .

There were no obstacles on their journey .

Within three days, they came to Swordsman City .

Two grand and magnificent giant swords hung on its city gate and people could feel a mighty sword Qi even when they were still a great distance away .

Zhou Xuanji met with someone familiar the moment he entered the city .

Zhang Tianjian was disciplining his son, Zhang Ruyu, with arms folded at his chest . “Stop exaggerating your Sword God Zhou all day . If he dared to attend the Sword Conference, I will prove it to you, who is stronger!” He shouted .
