Chapter 4185: Nine-sun Sword Saint
People could only stare at the palace attached to the cliff. Attacking and entering were impossible even though they were awfully tempted by the legendary swords inside.
âIs there really no way?â Conversations sparked.
Someone suggested for everyone to team up: âWe need to work together to defeat this dragon first, then everyone can get inside. Afterward, weâll rely on our own abilities for the prizes inside.â
âThatâs not fair. People might throw away their lives for only a few to obtain the divine swords? The majority will be sacrificial pawns.â Someone else said.
âSince when is fairness a thing? If thatâs the case, then everyone can become dao lords.â A big shot disagreed.
âI donât think itâs a bad idea.â Another expert said: âIâm more so afraid of people holding back, only wanting to take advantage of the situation.â
âCanât do this, canât do that, then why the hell are we even here? Might as well stay home with the wife and kids.â Someone else snorted.
Everyone had their own thoughts and agenda. Thus, no decision was made.
âSect Master Shi, do you have an opinion on this matter?â A clan master asked Shi Yingxue.
Her presence was a sight for sore eyes. She was both attractive and dignified. Her innate elegance stopped others from having dirty thoughts.
She was the sect master of Armament, one of the Six Kings. Her power and status couldnât be questioned.
Therefore, people quieted down and waited for her guidance. They needed a leader to launch an offense on this dragon palace. She became a top candidate.
âIâm just here to watch.â She smiled and said: âIâm sure the sword saint will have a better idea.â
âRumble!â The moment she finished, people heard loud explosions and rays coming from a carriage in the distance. It looked like a sun was approaching.
âNine-sun Sword Saint!â Others finally noticed.
A middle-aged man came out of the carriage. He had golden hair and looked quite gallant and spirited, clearly a heartthrob during his youth. He resembled a sun god with an innate divinity.
âI didnât know the saint was so handsome.â Others were surprised and charmed by his external appearance. Many felt jealous as well.
There were plenty of younger and good-looking prodigies present. Alas, none of them matched up to him, whether it be their aura or style. Some female cultivators fell in love at fight sight.
âHe was the worldâs most handsome during his prime.â A last-gen cultivator laughed.
âYes, both he and Terra Sword Saint are up there.â An elder agreed.
âNine-sun Sword Saint is way more handsome.â Someone who had seen Terra Sword Saint back at Cloud Dream Lake said: âNo one can compare to him right now.â
Age was not a problem when one was as good-looking as Nine-sun Sword Saint.
âTerra Sword Saint is not inferior, just different.â A big shot commented.
Both saints were the leader of their respective groups and were well-respected by the community.
Terra Sword Saintâs charm was more subdued while Nine-sun Sword Saint was dazzling like his title. Though they were listed as equals, Terra Sword Saint was actually far older.
Since both were famous, many often compared the two. They didnât have much to go with because the saints normally kept a low profile and didnât show off.
Nine-sun Sword Saint looked around; his sharp eyes were chilling. The crowd was intimidated since his reputation preceded him.
He gazed at the dragon palace in silence. Meanwhile, everyone else waited with bated breath. It became abundantly clear that they viewed him as a leader and would obey his commands.
âSect Master Shi, do you have anything in mind?â He withdrew his gaze and asked Shi Yingxue.
âYou think too highly of me, Sword Saint. I am no match for this palace but if you need my assistance, I will try my best.â She shook her head.
âRight, the two of us canât break it down.â The sword saint said: âIf you are interested, we can invite the Flame Valley Lord and Brother Terra as well.â
The crowd became excited and impatient right away. If these other masters were to come, then they would be a force to be reckoned with. The probability of success became far higher.
Of course, only cultivators such as Nine-sun Sword Saint and Shi Yingxue had the status to make this request.
âHmm, the eighth grave is tempting indeed.â Shi Yingxue sentimentally said.
There were enough rewards here to warrant the risk.
âMake way, make way.â A man demanded the crowd to make a path. Sure enough, they actually listened.
âItâs Li Qiye.â Others were surprised to see him.
The entire world knew of his name by now, whether it be his reputation as the worldâs richest or as a miracle-creator.
âThe sorcerer is here.â One expert whispered.
âHe wants the divine dragon sword too?â An old cultivator who was familiar with Li Qiye became surprised.
âI actually think he can do it.â A big shot chuckled after seeing him.
âIs he that amazing?â An unaware junior asked: âThe sword saint himself said he couldnât do it alone, isnât Li Qiye just a new rich? He can recruit more Heavenly Sovereigns but is that enough?â
âMoney is not omnipotent but Li Qiye is. There is no predicting him.â The big shot responded.
Nonetheless, the majority still doubted Li Qiyeâs ability to break this palace down.
âThis will be fun with him here, we got a good show waiting for us.â A spectator didnât care about this at all. She just knew that this would be entertaining.
âYoung Noble, you wish to enter the dragon palace?â Shi Yingxue came over and asked Li Qiye.
âIâm not interested in it.â Li Qiye smiled and tapped on Chen Cangshengâs shoulder: âBut this brat isnât bad, Iâm here to give him a fortune.â
Shi Yingxue understood that Chen Cangsheng was lucky enough to get into Li Qiyeâs good graces.
