Chapter 744: Chapter 741: The Shock of Xu Zhonglou

"Senior Brother Xu!"

Pei Yanchao and Gu Ya were both astonished.

Xu Zhonglou, seeing that it was Pei Yanchao and Gu Ya, couldn’t help but roll his eyes, "What are you doing here at the Tower Ascending Sword Pool?"

"Didn’t little Yanchao go to defend the pass? You’re out already?"

Xu Zhonglou looked at Pei Yanchao with a teasing glance.

Pei Yanchao scratched his head and said, "I just received news that the Sword Tomb has opened, there’s no need to defend the pass anymore."

Just a short while ago, Master Chu Jiangqiu had already relayed this message to them, and at this moment, the upper echelons of the Sword Tomb were preparing for its opening.

"Opened?!" Xu Zhonglou was suddenly stunned, and then he roared, "Why the hell didn’t you tell me earlier? Damn it, I can finally take my sword and leave the mountain!"

Xu Zhonglou’s expression was complex, with excitement that he couldn’t hide gleaming in his eyes.

Ever since he had entered the Sword Tomb, he had never once left, always thinking about stepping out of the Sword Tomb to roam the world.

And yet, he had been confined within the Sword Tomb all this time.

And now you tell me the Sword Tomb is opening?!

Then what the hell am I still doing here?

If he had known about this earlier, he wouldn’t have bothered bringing the Heavenly Mansion Saint and Tiantong Holy Daughter to waste time here.

"Eh? The Sword Tomb is opening?" The Heavenly Mansion Saint and Tiantong Holy Daughter from Ziwei Sacred Land were also utterly astonished.

This was a huge deal!

The Sword Tomb, the undisputed number one Sword Dao Sacred Land of Daozhou, if it were to open, it would certainly cause a great commotion across the five domains of Daozhou.

"This just happened not too long ago. I heard that an ancient ancestor has already made a move, ready to take the First Sword. Master and Sect Leader Uncle are all arranging for the opening of the mountain," Gu Ya took it upon herself to explain.

For some reason, in front of Xu Zhonglou, Gu Ya was not as irritable as with Pei Yanchao, instead, she appeared very gentle.

"Sister..." Pei Yanchao looked at his sister, who was like a completely different person toward him and Senior Brother Xu, his face full of grievance.

"Get lost," Gu Ya cursed softly, then turned to Xu Zhonglou with a playful and charming smile, her voice soft, "Senior Brother Xu, let’s travel the Jianghu together when the time comes."

Xu Zhonglou grinned and said, "That would be great."

"By the way, what brings you all here?" Xu Zhonglou glanced over Ye Xuan and his companions, asking with curiosity.

"Senior Brother, they are here to take swords," Pei Yanchao volunteered to introduce Ye Xuan and the others to Xu Zhonglou.

Xu Zhonglou’s expression remained unchanged, but when he heard that Huang Yue came from Mountain God Dao, he too was taken aback.

Mountain God Dao, ah, that is an ancient heritage, even older than the Sword Tomb.

"Since you are also here to take swords, then go with them. They are here for swords too," Xu Zhonglou said with a smile, nodding his head towards the Heavenly Mansion Saint and Tiantong Holy Daughter.

"Greetings, fellow Daoists. I am Jiang Changbei, Heavenly Mansion Saint from Ziwei Sacred Land," the Heavenly Mansion Saint introduced himself with a bow. "This is my junior sister, the Tiantong Holy Daughter, Xiao Rui."

"Hello, everyone!" Xiao Rui, holding the famous sword White Sparrow, greeted them with a cheerful face, "I’ve succeeded already."

As she spoke, she lifted the famous sword White Sparrow she had in her embrace.

"Ziwei Sacred Land..."

Ye Xuan’s gaze fell on the two, sizing them up for a moment without saying anything.

The incident with the Emperor Immortal Sect in the past, Ziwei Sacred Land was also involved.

Zhou Youwei narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, her voice ethereal and pleasant, "Emperor Immortal Sect, Zhou Youwei."

"Youwei, your name is so nice!" Xiao Rui said with a twinkle in her smiling eyes.

The Heavenly Mansion Saint also smiled and returned the bow.

"Youwei, let’s go," Ye Xuan said, with no intention of wasting words with them. He reached out to pull Zhou Youwei, heading deeper into the Tower Ascending Sword Pool.

"Eh? Are you leaving already?" Xiao Rui had planned to talk more with Zhou Youwei.

"Fellow Daoist, the famous swords inside are not so easy to claim," Xu Zhonglou reminded aloud.

Among the three Sword Pools, the Tower Ascending Sword Pool might be the easiest to succeed in, but that was only relative to the Xuanzhong and Hundred Refinements Sword Pools.

Actually, it was extremely difficult, especially in the most central region.

Throughout history, few have succeeded.

Xu Zhonglou was one of them, so his words carried weight.

However, Ye Xuan didn’t pay any attention to Xu Zhonglou, leading Zhou Youwei straight to the central area.

Seeing this, the Heavenly Mansion Saint couldn’t help but shake his head slightly, saying, "It seems that this friend Ye Xuan is quite a proud fellow."

His smile significantly faded.

As the Saint Heir of Ziwei Sacred Land, wherever he went, he was surrounded by adulation. He had greeted Ye Xuan just now purely out of respect for Xu Zhonglou.

But this guy was so cold.

The Heavenly Mansion Saint truly had no fondness for such a person.

"Those with weak strength yet pride higher than the sky, indeed, are considered arrogant, but if one is powerful, it is called confidence," Xu Zhonglou said with a slight smile, not saying much else.

He had seen many arrogant people before.

Ye Xuan was not the first, nor would he be the last.

However, since Ye Xuan was brought by Pei Yanchao and Gu Ya, he didn’t want to say too much.

Upon hearing Xu Zhonglou’s words, Huang Yue and Song Qilin exchanged glances with strange expressions.

Ye Xuan is arrogant?

Perhaps you are unaware of his terrifying abilities.

"Ahem... Senior brother, I want to talk to you about something," Pei Yanchao coughed lightly and said in a low voice.

"Senior brother, I too wish to speak with you about something," Gu Ya said with a strange expression.

"About what?" Xu Zhonglou asked in confusion.

"Let’s go over there and talk," suggested Pei Yanchao with a cough.

"Yes, I think it’s better to talk over there," Gu Ya added.

Seeing his junior brother and sister so secretive, Xu Zhonglou hazarded a guess. He nodded slightly and then said to the Heavenly Mansion Saint, "Please continue."

With that, he led Pei Yanchao and Gu Ya to the side.

After they reached a place where no one could eavesdrop, Xu Zhonglou narrowed his eyes and said, "Pei Yanchao, Gu junior sister, is this matter related to Ye Xuan?"

Both of them nodded solemnly.

Pei Yanchao started, "You must have seen, senior brother, Ye Xuan is only in the Life Palace Realm, right?"

Xu Zhonglou nodded. He had indeed noticed it at first glance—Ye Xuan was at the Ninth Layer of the Life Palace.

Pei Yanchao’s expression turned solemn as he said, "He defeated me with just two moves, and then alone, he challenged nine passages. Nine junior brothers and sisters who just entered the Saint Realm attempted to join forces against him and were defeated by him alone."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhonglou’s pupils suddenly constricted.

Life Palace Realm, defeating a Heavenly Human in two moves? And able to vanquish nine Saint Realm Great Cultivators single-handedly?!

And they were Sword Cultivators, known for their extremely lethal power within the ranks of Cultivators!

What kind of monster was this?

"That’s nothing..." beside him, Gu Ya chimed in.

"What information does junior sister have?" Xu Zhonglou looked towards Gu Ya, his expression already solemn.

Pei Yanchao too looked at Gu Ya, curious about what she was about to reveal.

"Do you know about Guo Hezu, senior brother?" Gu Ya started.

Just as he thought!

Xu Zhonglou’s eyes narrowed. He had guessed that Gu Ya would definitely speak about Guo Hezu, considering the terrifying developments of the past; only the legendary Guo Hezu could possess such capability.

"The River Soldier was taken by someone, and that person who took it was none other than Ye Xuan. I passed by Emperor Night Peak and saw it with my own eyes," Gu Ya declared, pausing deliberately between words.

In an instant, the entire place fell silent, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
