Chapter 1119: Sword Pavilion Invitation
"You dare!" The youths of the Sky Dome Immortal Palace shouted in fury. Lin Feng, right before their eyes, had killed a member of the Sky Dome Immortal Palace. How outrageous.
"The man is already dead, so what's there to dare or not dare?" Lin Feng sneered coldly. This man had repeatedly tried to kill him; now, how could he show any mercy? He killed him without hesitation.
"Truly killed!" The onlookers thought this man had real nerve. He said he would kill, and he did. They didn't know the grudge between Lin Feng and his victim, assuming Lin Feng had only killed him because of the recent conflict. His actions were far too decisive.
"Anyone who wants to kill me, come and try. I'll accept all challenges. But whoever comes to kill me must first be prepared to die, just like this man!" Lin Feng closed his palm, and the man's body instantly turned to ashes, vanishing into flames and disappearing from the void.
Lin Feng's domineering voice still echoed through the void. No one could stop him from killing if they wanted to, but they had to be ready to die first. If they fell into his hands, they would be killed without a doubt. Lin Feng had no scruples.
Gu Xiao and the others had cold expressions. Lin Feng's gaze had just swept over their Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress group, which was undoubtedly a message: if you want to kill, come ahead.
"Since that's the case, we'll have to test the skills of Heavenly Terrace's outstanding disciples today." Several experts from the Sky Dome Immortal Palace burned with battle intent, ready to start a fight with Lin Feng and the others.
"Do you think Heavenly Terrace is afraid of you? If you want to fight, then fight!" Meng Ba's rough voice roared. The killing intent permeating the void clashed and intertwined, making many feel a chill, as if a great battle was about to break out.
"If Heavenly Terrace wants to bully the few with the many, then Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress naturally cannot stand idly by!" A sinister voice rang out. The Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress joined the fray, intending to ally with the Sky Dome Immortal Palace against the Heavenly Terrace group. In an instant, Heavenly Terrace's advantage turned into a disadvantage.
The three forces intertwined, making the situation even more complex. Many people showed amused expressions, never expecting to see a battle between the younger generations of three major forces today. It would certainly be spectacular. These three forces were all Martial Emperor-level powers.
However, it seemed that Heavenly Terrace had only recently recruited its first batch of Martial Emperor's Disciples, while the younger generation sent to the City of Fate by the Sky Dome Immortal Palace and the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress were clearly the cream of the crop. If a battle broke out, Heavenly Terrace would inevitably suffer, and many might spill their blood here.
As Lin Feng had thought, the youths of the Sky Dome Immortal Palace were merely bluffing by invoking the two forces. Conflicts between the younger generation would at most involve a portion of them, never triggering a full-scale war between the forces. Especially Martial Emperors, who rarely meddled in worldly affairs, only guiding. The younger generation's fate depended on their own talent, effort, and luck.
So, if Heavenly Terrace's people were defeated and died here, they could only blame their lack of strength. Of course, the same applied to the other two sides.
"Very well. The Sky Dome Immortal Palace will join forces with the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress to teach these newly initiated disciples a lesson." The expert from the Sky Dome Immortal Palace said coldly.
"Haven't you embarrassed yourselves enough?" At that moment, a clear, cold voice rang out. Everyone looked at the speaker and was stunned. It was actually Xue Biyao, the Saintess of the Sky Dome Immortal Palace.
"Either fight on your own, or come back!" Xue Biyao's voice was calm as she spoke again. The man who had just died had bullied Lin Feng, who was at a lower cultivation level, using his Seventh Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm cultivation, which had already shamed the Sky Dome Immortal Palace. If they could avenge themselves, Xue Biyao would have nothing to say. But now they wanted to team up with the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress to deal with Heavenly Terrace? That would only make the Sky Dome Immortal Palace a laughingstock.
The faces of the several men from the Sky Dome Immortal Palace stiffened. "Junior Sister, are we just going to let him off?"
"If you continue like this, don't call me Junior Sister anymore." Xue Biyao said indifferently, then glanced at the others. "The same goes for you."
"The Saintess of the Sky Dome Immortal Palace has such a proud personality!" Everyone sighed inwardly. Xue Biyao clearly disdained letting her people join forces with the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress against Heavenly Terrace.
The expressions of the Sky Dome Immortal Palace youths shifted unpredictably. Finally, they coldly swept their gaze over Lin Feng. "I hope you live well!"
With that, they returned to Xue Biyao's side, ultimately not defying her pride. For this junior sister, they felt both admiration and a hint of reverence. Her beauty was like a fairy, her temperament ethereal, her talent formidable, and she had a proud martial heart. This was Xue Biyao. Her strength came not only from her innate talent as a Spirit Immortal Body but also from her own pride and persistence in the martial path.
"Rest assured, I'll live very well." Lin Feng replied, then turned his gaze to the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress group, looking at Gu Xiao. "Do you want to fight?"
The people of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress hesitated. At this moment, Heavenly Terrace had the advantage in numbers. Of course, if a real fight broke out, they wouldn't be afraid, especially with Gu Xiao and his sacred artifact, the Golden Bell.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared beside Jian Wubei, whispering something in his ear. Jian Wubei nodded slightly, indicating he understood.
Taking a step forward, Jian Wubei smiled at the crowd. "Sky Dome Immortal Palace, Heavenly Terrace, and Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress, all of you have come for the City of Fate. Why let a momentary grudge dictate your actions? Once you enter the City of Fate, you can fight freely, with no interference, life or death be damned. Since you're all gathered here, I'd like to invite you all to the Sword Pavilion for a visit. What do you say?"
Visit the Sword Pavilion?
Everyone was puzzled. What did Jian Wubei mean by inviting them to the Sword Pavilion now?
"My Sword Pavilion has also invited other talented youths from the Eight Wastelands Realm, such as Long Teng of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress and the peerless enchantress of Qifeng Mountain. They should be on their way to the Sword Pavilion now. My Sword Pavilion wants all of you to come together and witness the legacy sword of our ancestor, the Skyless Sword Emperor!"
A confident smile played on Jian Wubei's lips. He believed these people would be willing to come.
Indeed, upon hearing about the Skyless Sword Emperor's legacy sword, the youths of the three major forces had strange glints flashing in their eyes. The Sword Emperor's legacy sword—they naturally wanted to see it, especially since it belonged to the legendary Skyless Sword Emperor who once dominated the world. Moreover, the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress's Heavenly Dragon Demon Body and the ancient Phoenix Body had also been invited. From Jian Wubei's words, it seemed other young geniuses were coming too. It looked like the Sword Pavilion was about to become a gathering of talents.
"Since the Sword Pavilion invites us, the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress is willing to set aside our grudges for now." Gu Xiao said with a smile, appearing amiable, as if the earlier unpleasantness was in the past.
"The Sky Dome Immortal Palace is willing to go." Xue Biyao naturally wouldn't refuse the chance to see the Skyless Sword Emperor's legacy.
Lin Feng glanced at his companions. Seeing the anticipation in their eyes, he smiled. "To receive an invitation from the Sword Pavilion is an honor. Heavenly Terrace is willing to go and have a look."
"Excellent. Since you're all so agreeable, let's set off now. I'll lead the way!" Jian Wubei said with a laugh, taking the lead and striding forward.
Gu Xiao's cold eyes swept over Lin Feng, and he transmitted his voice: "I'll spare you for now. Once you enter the City of Fate, no one can save you. The same goes for your Heavenly Terrace people. Your time of death is near."
The grudge of his brother's murder had to be avenged. Moreover, he wanted to kill all of Heavenly Terrace's people. They had no right to obtain any prophecies or even see the Prophet's face.
Lin Feng's brows twitched, and he stared at Gu Xiao like a sharp sword. This man's killing intent toward him was extremely strong; he had to be eliminated. Besides, Gu Xiao was at the Eighth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm and possessed the sacred artifact Golden Bell, posing a great threat to him.
After transmitting his message, Gu Xiao quickly stepped forward to Jian Wubei's side and smiled. "Brother Wubei, besides showing us the Skyless Sword Emperor's legacy sword, does the Sword Pavilion have any other intentions in inviting us this time?"
Hearing Gu Xiao's question, everyone pricked up their ears. The Sword Pavilion clearly wouldn't invite them for no reason. There must be a deeper purpose, but it was inconvenient to ask. Now that Gu Xiao had asked for them, they naturally wanted to know.
"My ancestor's legacy sword hums incessantly, as if it wants to break through the void and fly away. My Sword Pavilion is at a loss. Since all of you are outstanding talents from various major forces and disciples of Martial Emperors with broad knowledge beyond the Sword Pavilion's reach, I invited you here to see why the legacy sword keeps emitting that sword hum!"
The sword hums without end, as if about to break through the void?
Everyone's hearts tightened. The Skyless Sword Emperor's legacy sword was priceless, possibly even surpassing a sacred artifact. If it were to break through the void... At that moment, many began to harbor different thoughts. Even those who hadn't been invited followed along, planning to wait outside the Sword Pavilion if they couldn't enter. If the Sword Emperor's sword were to break through the void...
However, the talented youths of the major forces were skeptical, unsure of Jian Wubei's true intentions. If the Sword Emperor's sword were about to break through the void, they should have kept it secret, not invited people to compete for it.
Jian Wubei's words couldn't be fully trusted—that was everyone's thought. But regardless, they had to see the Skyless Sword Emperor's legacy sword. It might benefit their cultivation!
