Chapter 169: When Ten-thousand Swords Are In The Sky, I Shall Lord Over The World
“Oh yeah, in this world, other than the Northern Wilderness Region, are there any other regions?”
Zhou Xuanji asked suddenly out of curiosity. The word “north” denoted a direction, so it was not wild speculation.
Qin Gang nodded and said, “The Northern Wilderness Region is surrounded by oceans so vast that one cannot see its end. I’ve heard that on the other side of the ocean, there is a whole new world, but very few have returned from the ocean.”
A tinge of longing could be seen on his face.
As their cultivations grew, who would not want to explore all corners of the world?
“Wait until you become the most powerful cultivator like me, then you think about it.”
Xian Xianghua snorted. Her arrogant tone was very annoying.
“I will never be able to climb to Suzerain’s height.”
Qin Gang immediately boot-licked, which made Zhou Xuanji roll his eyes.
He patted Qin Gang’s shoulder and sighed, “Please, stop being a licking dog, okay?
TL: Licking dog is an internet term used to describe someone who treats another person passionately without bottom lines while that person has totally no interest in them.
“What is a licking dog?”
Qin Gang asked cluelessly, while Zhao Congjian was trying to hold his laughter.
“You will understand when you have nothing left.”
Zhou Xuanji smiled as he shook his head. He gave a profound look, which made Qin Gang even more clueless.
The four of them continued to rest in the forest.
Xian Xianghua saved Zhou Xuanji and Zhao Congjian, so naturally, they had to guard her for some time to let her recover.
Four hours later, dusk came.
Zhou Xuanji and Zhao Congjian bid their goodbyes.
“My Vice-Suzerain, where are you going? Although the Northern Wilderness Region is vast, you no longer have a place to settle down. Follow me, I will treat you well. I will dote you like a treasure.”
Xian Xianghua opened her eyes and said with a smile.
Zhou Xuanji shook his head and said, “You are too old already and you’re not a good person either. We are not suited for each other.”
After that, he turned to leave.
Zhao Congjian followed him immediately.
Xian Xianghua was a little stunned. Her brows knitted together immediately. She said with a deep voice, “I will teach you a legendary energy technique to make you unrivaled in the world. You are really not willing?”
The expression in her eyes was a little cold. No one dared to reject her.
All those who rejected her were dead.
“My sword will reign over the world one day.”
“When 10,000 swords are in the sky, I shall lord over the world.”
Zhou Xuanji said without turning his head back. He left quickly with Zhao Congjian.
Qin Gang was stunned. He mumbled to himself, “When 10,000 swords are in the sky, he will lord over the world.”
10,000 swords...
* This guy...*
He was shocked. Zhou Xuanji was already extremely impressive with dozens of swords. How powerful would he be if he had 10,000 swords?
Xian Xianghua snorted and said, “You dare to boast in front of me. You are still far from it.”
She looked in Zhou Xuanji and Zhao Congjian’s direction for a long while before she came back to reality.
“Suzerain... You...”
Qin Gang wanted to say something but did not know whether he should have asked.
Xian Xianghua glanced at him and said, “I’ve fallen in love with him at first sight. Why? Can I not do this?”
Love at first sight?
Qin Gang was stunned. He did not expect his Suzerain to have such a taste.
...
After they left Xian Xianghua, Zhou Xuanji and Zhao Congjian traveled full speed ahead. They looked back occasionally just in case Xian Xianghua was following them.
“Master, it’s all my fault that you got involved in such big trouble.”
Zhao Congjian’s face was black like iron and he blamed himself.
A few more days and the world would know that Zhou Xuanji became Tanhua Sect’s Vice-Suzerain. He could hardly imagine how they would adventure in the world.
Zhou Xuanji replied calmly, “It’s not your fault. The more pressure we have, the more powerful we will become.”
Even if the world had a grudge against him, so what?
As long as he was powerful enough!
There would be no problem!
Zhao Congjian took in a deep breath and looked determined.
He swore he would train hard to protect Zhou Xuanji with his life!
Night came.
Late into the night, the two returned to the valley. Daoya Old Man opened the spell array once he sensed their Qi-signature so that they could come in.
When Jiang Xue saw Zhou Xuanji, she ran up to him and hugged him.
“You are finally back.”
She did not cry, neither was she overly excitedly. She only whispered how much she missed him in his ears.
Zhou Xuanji patted her back lightly and smiled, “Of course, I will come back. I will never leave you.”
“Ewww–”
The group jeered at them jokingly. They felt really sour in their heart.
Xiao Jinghong looked to Zhao Congjian and asked, “Is it successful?”
Zhao Congjian sighed and told them what happened.
He was not happy even after his revenge but felt a bit worried.
When Daoya Old Man heard that Huang Hantian blocked their way, Daoya Old Man opened his eyes wide in shock, “Huang Hantian?” He asked, “How does he know you guys are in Great Chen? That guy is on par with Lin Guanyu. How did you guys escape?”
Zhao Congjian continued to recount. After Daoya Old Man knew that it was Xian Xianghua who saved them, his face turned even blacker.
After Zhao Congjian finished speaking, he sighed heavily.
Chongming Demon Monarch fell on to the ground backside down. His backside landed straight onto the little black snake, which almost broke his serpentine body.
“Oh no... Oh no...”
Chongming Demon Monarch mumbled in despair. Joining the Tanhua Sect would mean that he would already be half-buried in the grave.
The others did not look good either.
Previously, they heard about how both the upright and evil sects, including the sanctums, were going to destroy Tanhua Sect together. They felt despair just thinking about it.
Zhou Xuanji said, “Tomorrow morning, we will head over to Juedi Cliff.”
Juedi Cliff was a dangerous place, so most people would not go there.
The most dangerous place was the safest place!
The group nodded and had no objections.
“Let’s leave tonight! When it’s still dark!”
Daoya Old Man said with a deep voice. They were close to Great Chen, and now that Xinhao Sect chased them to Great Chen, they needed to leave.
“Then, go and pack up.”
Zhou Xuanji instructed. Xiao Jinghong, Zhao Congjian, Han Shenbo, Chongming Demon Monarch, Beixiao Wangjian, and Huang Lianxin left and packed their things.
Jiang Xue reached out with her hand and wrapped her arm around his waist. She smiled like a blossoming flower and asked, “Xuanji, why does Xian Xianghua treat you nicely?”
“Maybe she wants my handsome face.”
Zhou Xuanji said with a deep voice. Immediately, he felt a painful pinch at his waist, and he instantly asked for forgiveness.
“Humph!”
Jiang Xue snorted coldly before she stomped on his foot and left.
He sighed and said, “A girl grows more jealous as she grows up.”
After that, he smiled and ran up to her. He hugged her by her neck and smiled, “Don’t worry. I don’t fancy her.”
“I don’t even know how old that old, demonic woman is. Who knows if she actually looks like a zombie?”
Half an hour later.
Zhou Xuanji and Jiang Xue sat on Ah Big, while Huang Lianxin sat on Small Er. The two dragon eagles soared into the night sky and shook the trees along the way.
The others followed closely behind.
The little black snake laid on Small Er’s head and sighed. “We are going to run away again.”
Xiao Jinghong put his hands on his back. His long hair danced in the night wind as he smiled, saying, “This is different. It’s for a great opportunity!”
The Tianxia Map was hidden in Juedi Cliff.
That’s a treasure that galvanized the world!
The one who possessed it possessed the world. Who could hold their curiosity?
“You are right. If we can obtain it, then we can look down on the entire world.”
“Back then, Xian Xianghua was like that. She saw everyone like dogs made of straw, which is why she’s facing such a crisis today.”
Daoya Old Man sat on Chongming Demon Monarch and chuckled.
Beixiao Wangjian rolled his eyes at him and said, “The first statement is okay, but isn’t the second a killjoy?”
The others burst out into laughter.
They continued to grow more powerful. No matter how big the crisis they were facing, they never lost or panicked.
They firmly believed that Zhou Xuanji would one day become the most powerful person in the world.
