Chapter 4205: Pick A Side
The saint child has become the sacred lord of Nine-wheel Citadel recently. Thus, people havenât gotten accustomed to switching his title.
He was actually younger than Peace Ocean Sword King as well. Some believed that his talent was either on par or only slightly inferior to the king. Once he reached the kingâs age, his power and cultivation should be equal.
He was closer in age to the Ten Sword Prodigies yet his status and cultivation exceeded theirs considerably. This showed how dominating he has been in the cultivation world.
He looked like a deity due to his golden radiance. He possessed a more spirited temperament and wasnât as low-key as Peace Ocean Sword King. Of course, he was qualified to be as haughty and pompous as he wanted.
âIf you wish to fight, Valley Lord, I will overestimate myself and spar with you for three hundred moves.â He spoke as if he was untouchable and viewed others with disdain.
Others preferred Peace Ocean Sword Kingâs more mature and refined demeanor. The king spoke with civility and wasnât as aggressive as the saint child.
Nonetheless, they did understand why the latter was acting in this manner. He had everything that a man could want. Thus, arrogance and pride couldnât be avoided for someone so young.
âSo be it, Saint Child.â The valley lord smiled.
Spectators still thought that Nine-wheel and Sea Emperor had the upper hand. Daoist Sword Ground and Flame Valley werenât enough to touch this alliance yet.
âI like how straightforward you are, Valley Lord.â The saint child laughed then gazed at the crowd: âAnyone else wants to challenge us? Step forward then, we welcome all challengers.â
Everyone took a deep breath and exchanged glances. It was clear at the start that in order to get to the divine sword, one must get through the two behemoths.
The appearance of Peace Ocean Sword King emphasized this even though he purposely avoided stating this outright. This wasnât the case for Void Saint Child. He had no qualm revealing their objective.
Unfortunately, his honesty wasnât well-received by the crowd. His ally, Peace Ocean, slightly frowned after hearing this but didnât correct his ally.
âWhat can we do?â One expert quietly said.
The chance of victory was zero, at least given the current situation. Thus, they wisely held their words back despite feeling frustrated.
âSaint Child, if you want everyone to pick a side, then we, Armament Mountain, will stand with Daoist Sword Ground and Flame Valley.â A pleasant voice came before an elegant figure appeared in the sky. Her presence was accompanied by a sweet fragrance.
âSect Master Shi!â Others recognized her right away - Shi Yingxue, one of the Six Kings.
âYouâre the same as always, Sect Master Shi, not backing down to anyone.â Void didnât mind this development and said: âBut even if your three sects work together, what do you think is your chance of victory?â
âLeave it up for heaven to decide.â She answered. Listening to her was a pleasurable experience.
âItâs not like we wish to go against the world. Thereâs a reason behind all of this. Will you yield just once, Fellow Daoists?â Peace Ocean coughed and interjected, choosing to go the tactful route instead.
âThen why donât you yield? Put down the wall and sword formation!â A crowd member shouted.
âThatâs right, there is no reason capable of justifying this. Itâs mere greed!â Others started joining in, willing to run their mouth instead of swinging their swords.
âHmph, weâre already showing comity by not expelling all of you from this region!â Void didnât appreciate the accusative barrages.
Peace Ocean felt the same way but wasnât as direct.
âFellow Daoist, youâre awfully overbearing.â A newcomer came; his radiance was blinding.
âNine-sun Sword Saint!â Applauses and cheers erupted.
âHeâs here!â His appearance excited the crowd and gave them hope.
His influence was far above Ling Jian, Flame Valley Lord, and Shi Yingxue. Since he was the leader of the Six Kings, he should be stronger than the rest.
âSupport the sword saint! We canât let them do as they please!â The crowd was rowdier than before.
Peace Ocean Sword Kingâs expression soured after seeing this. He wasnât afraid of anyone or any sect since Sea Emperor was the strongest. However, he didnât wish for the situation to escalate - it would be quite bothersome.
âIt is an honor to be in your presence, Sword Saint. It would also be this juniorâs pleasure to have the chance to fight you.â Void said proudly. Putting his arrogance aside, some did appreciate his straightforward nature.
âThe young generation will surpass us in time, I am already inferior.â The saint shook his head then said: âThis is still salvageable as long as your sects are willing to remove the blockade. No one will start a fight then.â
