Without the participation of Hua Wan’er, the tournament swiftly ended. The winner was Lao Gang of Great Emerald Mountain who defeated the young man from the Miao Mountain tribe.
Surprisingly, Lao Gang reached the peak of the Martial Grandmaster realm at the age of 27. Not to mention, his exceptional movement techniques and dagger arts made him powerful among the younger generation in close combat.
Of course, that’s only possible if someone monstrous like Jun Tianyun doesn’t get counted among the younger generation.
However, many could feel a strange atmosphere around the tournament. The majority of elders from various sects were missing as they all went together to the main building of Great Emerald Mountain.
” Are you sure?”
” How is that possible? How can Black Ghost Sect…”
” Actually, Some of our scouting disciples became curious when they felt the unnatural movements of fierce beasts around Black Ghost Sect’s boundary.” The Sect Master of Great Emerald Mountain, Bei Qingwu spoke in a deep voice.
” But after what they saw…They felt utterly dumbfounded. They returned to the sect and brought some elders to the scene. And taking some photos there, we concluded that they didn’t hallucinate.”
As he gestured, the elders of other sects also saw the photos taken by the scouts of Great Emerald Mountain. Although these hidden sects reside deep in desolate places and practice in seclusion, they aren’t primitive barbarians. They do have some modern equipment that they use in their day-to-day lives.
When the elders of other sects saw the images, they felt like their eyes popped out of their sockets.
” What the fuck?”
” Is this real?”
” Oh, Great heavens…”
Everyone became silent with shock and horror when they saw the image. In the photo, they could see the sect filled with corpses of disciples and elders of the Black Ghost Sect.
Some of the buildings were destroyed, but the most noticeable thing was the deep cut that cleaved the main building of the sect in half. It was like someone took a sharp knife and cut apart the earth along with the building with sheer sharpness.
” Isn’t that…The corpse of the Sect Master of Black Ghost Sect?” Someone trembled as he pointed at a photo.
Everyone glanced at that image as they saw the corpse of the Black Ghost Sect’s Sect Master was perfectly cut in half vertically.
” This…Isn’t this a sword mark?” Wudang Sword Mountain’s Elder spoke after some thoughts.
” You mean, someone did this with a single slash of the sword?”
” Could it be…Someone reached the realm of Sword Intent?” A Southern Edge Sect elder mumbled.
” Sword Intent? Ridiculous, You think sword intent can cause this much destruction?” Wudang Sword Mountain elder snorted. ” I am afraid it’s the legendary Union of Sword with Heaven and Earth realm.”
” Not only that. You need to focus on the quality of the sword too.” Li Ming suddenly spoke. ” I am sure no ordinary sword can attack like this.”
” Such a treasure sword is like a weapon of immortals.” Wudang Sword Mountain elder sighed. ” It might be even comparable to the Xuanyuan Sword of Shunshan Sword Mountain or other treasured magical swords.”
” No one in the Black Ghost Sect survived, huh?”
” Could it be a Xiantian Realm martial artists took action?”
” Xiantian Realm? Are you sure?”
Li Ming was about to say something. But her expression changed suddenly as she recalled Jun Tianyun’s words. He smiled and said that the Black Ghost Sect would no longer be a problem in the future.
‘ That brat? No, How is that possible!? It couldn’t be him!’ Li Ming shook her head. ‘ Yeah, I think he might know who is behind this. Could it be…Is someone from the Jun Clan? I wonder…’
However, realizing the power of that unknown expert, not only Li Ming but everyone else also shivered. Houtian Realm is already a myth for ordinary people, not to mention the Xiantian realm which is simply an old legend. However, those who are in sects and ancient martial arts family knows that the Xiantian Realm isn’t a mythical realm. It’s just that attaining it is the same as ascending to heaven.
And since such an expert appeared here, everyone became nervous. ” So? What should we do now?”
” We must inform True Martial Order first.”
” Besides, If that expert wishes to hide his identity, there is nothing we can do.”
After the discussion, everyone calmed down a bit. The Hundred Jade Pillar School elder looked at the Sect Master of Great Emerald Mountain, ” Sect Master Bei Qingwu, About the marriage between Lady Hua Wan’er and Wu Chang…”
” Unfortunately, Wu Chang lost to Hua Wan’er.” Li Ming cut in before Being Qinwu could say anything. ” Hua Wan’er’s response to this proposal isn’t positive. So, I hope the Hundred Jade Pillar School would reconsider it.”
” This… This is going to be hard, Elder Li. Besides, The marriage will be…”
” That’s alright, Elder Luo. We can discuss it later.” Bei Qingwu sighed as he waved his hands.
” Since such an unknown variable has appeared, we should discuss about the Azure Sky Grave.”
” Very well…”

Jun Tianyun sat beside a table as he enjoyed a special wine brewed by the Great Emerald Mountain. As he heard the discussion between various martial artists, a figure held the wine glass and sat beside him.
” What did you do?”
Hua Wan’er asked in a sharp voice. Jun Tianyun shrugged when he heard that. ” I wonder what’s Wan’er talking about?”
” These? How did my blades transform?” Hua Wan’er put his pair of butterfly blades on the table as she glanced at Jun Tianyun.
Jun Tianyun held a blade and caressed its body. ” Well, Forged from Millenium Cold Iron and tempered a thousand times, this pair is a good weapon.”
” Unfortunately, if the blacksmith was more skilled, he could have imbue these blades with powerful runes and elemental power, making it into a magical weapon.”
” It’s forged by the best blacksmith of Treasure Fire Hall. And in your eyes, these blades are mediocre?” Hua Wan’er’s mouth became agape when she saw Jun Tianyun’s expression.
” Well, That’s the past of this blade.” Jun Tianyun smiled. ” Now, it’s filled with elemental power of Metal, making it sharp and precise, a low grade but deadly magical weapon.”
” And how did you do it?” Hua Wan’er blinked as she glanced at Jun Tianyun.
” Touch of magic.” Jun Tianyun looked around and whispered in a low voice, afraid of people hearing his words.
” Can’t you be serious for once?” Hua Wan’er became annoyed. “Well, Ma’am, I am serious.” Jun Tianyun shrugged. ” If you don’t want to believe me, fine. Don’t believe me.”
” Thank you.”
” Hm?”
Jun Tianyun glanced at Hua Wan’er, who gulped all the wine in one go. ” Thank you for helping me. If that bastard Wu Chang had won today, Hundred Jade School would have pressured me even more.”
” I really don’t want to marry that bastard.”
” Same, I don’t want you to marry him too…” Jun Tianyun blurted out.
” Hm? Oh my, someone is caring about me, huh?” Hua Wan’er smirked as she glanced at Jun Tianyun.
” Why? Are you jealous? Do you have feelings for me?”
” Do I?” Jun Tianyun played with his cup. ” Well, Miss Hua, I have many women with me. Why would I get jealous of Wu Chang?”
Hua Wan’er recalled Xiao Yue who was beside Jun Tianyun the first time they met. Jun Tianyun also mentioned that he had relationships with multiple women outside.
Thinking about that, her mood couldn’t help but get sour.
” Then fine. I will go and marry Wu Chang.”
” I am not stopping you.” Jun Tianyun gave a light smile.
” Then, Why did you help me?” Hua Wan’er became depressed.
” Because I felt the match was unfair.” Jun Tianyun took a sip. ” I wanted you to show your full potential.”
” Hmph, So, You are saying that you won’t feel anything if I marry Wu Chang?” Hua Wan’er asked angrily.
” Hmm, I wonder?” Jun Tianyun played ignorant. ” But, It will be like placing a flower on dog shit.”
” Pfft! Hahaha…” Hua Wan’er laughed. Her laughter was like pearls clinking together. ” At least you are honest about something.”
” But, You made this lady angry with your ignorant remarks earlier.” Hua Wan’er glanced at Jun Tianyun. ” You need to do something for me.”
” And, What is that?” Jun Tianyun became interested.
” Take me away from here.” Hua Wan’er asked abruptly. ” I want to visit the modern cities. I want to…Taste the urban mortal world.”
” Is that so?” Jun Tianyun grinned when he heard that. ” Are you really sure? If you say yes…I will simply take you away, right now.”
” Right now?”
” Right now.” Jun Tianyun nodded firmly.
Hua Wan’er suddenly took out a paper from her spatial ring and wrote something on it. After that, She got up and held Jun Tianyun’s hand, dragging him away.
” Let’s go.”
” Wait a bit…” Jun Tianyun led Hua Wan’er to a secluded spot as he glanced at her. ” Do you want to travel in a special way?”
” Special Way?” Hua Wan’er became curious.
*After a minute*
” WAAAHHHHHHHHHH!~ WE ARE FLYING?!”
