The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 745 - 742: Vying to Acknowledge a Master

Chapter 745: Chapter 742: Vying to Acknowledge a Master

"The River Soldier was taken by someone, and the person who took it was none other than Young Master Ye Xuan, I happened upon Emperor Night Peak and saw it with my own eyes," Gu Ya enunciated each word deliberately.

Gu Ya’s words directly caused Pei Yanchao and Xu Zhonglou’s breathing to halt.

The two exchanged a look and both saw the shock in the other’s eyes.

River Soldier.

The legend they had heard since childhood had actually been taken by someone.

And that person was Ye Xuan!?

How is that possible!?

"Why would the River Soldier acknowledge a Life Palace Realm cultivator as its master?" Xu Zhonglou murmured to himself in a low voice, looking forlorn.

As the most brilliant talent among the young generation of Sword Tomb, he had stepped into the Saint Realm at a young age and had become a True Person, a Great Cultivator.

He too dreamed that one day, he would be acknowledged by that legendary River Soldier.

But now, he received the news that the River Soldier was taken away.

"When he entered Emperor Night Peak, those terrifying Sword Qis on it that could obliterate a Saint Emperor converged around him as though due to the presence of their master."

"When he walked out of Emperor Night Peak, he devoured all those Sword Qis," said Gu Ya.

"With just a light breath from the River Soldier, he directly repelled the Sect Leader’s Uncle-Master, the Sect Leader’s Master, the Sect Leader’s Grandmaster, and the Sect Leader’s Great-Grandmaster—the four of them!"

Gu Ya recounted what had happened on Emperor Night Peak to Xu Zhonglou all in one breath.

"Later on, it seemed that a major incident occurred. It was also with one of our Sword Tomb’s ancestors who had some conflict with Young Master Ye Xuan. I’m not very clear on how it was resolved, but after that, our Master said that Sword Tomb would be opened to all."

"What kind of monster is Young Master Ye Xuan?" Pei Yanchao’s mouth twitched uncontrollably. Who did he face in combat before, and what kind of monster was it?

The most crucial thing is, he was able to survive.

At that moment, Pei Yanchao actually felt a terrifying sensation creeping up on him.

"So, that person was him, that weapon that looked like a blade, it was the River Soldier!" Xu Zhonglou murmured to himself.

He had previously seen a black-robed youth carrying a weapon that resembled both a sword and a blade crossing the sky, and it was actually Ye Xuan!

Xu Zhonglou suddenly turned around.

"Eh? Senior Brother, where are you going?" Seeing this, both Gu Ya and Pei Yanchao exclaimed in shock.

"I am going to challenge him!" Xu Zhonglou said without turning back, his eyes brimming with combativeness.

No matter what, since Ye Xuan was able to take away the River Soldier, it was enough to prove his formidable strength.

But what of it? We sword cultivators should strive against the current, fearless of anything!

"Senior Brother!" Pei Yanchao and Gu Ya immediately felt their scalps tingle. Challenging Ye Xuan, wasn’t that seeking death?

Even the Sect Leader’s Uncle-Master and his master, grandmaster, and great-grandmaster were no match for him, what could you possibly bring to the fight?

Boom!

However, just as they were preparing to stop him, an anomaly suddenly occurred.

In the distance, terrifying Sword Qis surged skyward.

Each Sword Qi contained different powers.

These Sword Qis seemed to be engaged in a battle of sorts.

Xu Zhonglou abruptly stopped, raising his head to look at the scene not far from him, his pupils suddenly constricting: "What is this..."

Not only the three of them, but also Qiao Xinyu, Huang Yue, Song Qilin, Heavenly Mansion Saint, and Tiantong Holy Daughter were all gazing in that direction.

"Worthy of being the woman of the leader..." Qiao Xinyu’s eyes revealed a hint of surprise.

Others might not feel it, but she clearly sensed that this was caused by Zhou Youwei.

The famous swords within the Tower Ascending Sword Pool were actually vying to acknowledge Zhou Youwei as their master!

This made Qiao Xinyu think of a terrifying constitution.

Innate Sword Body.

This constitution is naturally close to the sword.

However, she had observed Zhou Youwei’s physique, which was the rare Dual Souls in one body, and moreover, a Dual Saint Body, something exceedingly difficult to find through the ages.

But neither of these Saint Bodies were the Innate Sword Body.

This was the most astonishing part for Qiao Xinyu.

Even with her breadth of knowledge, she couldn’t explain how this had come to be.

In the end, she could only describe it with the phrase, "Truly a match for the leader’s wife"...

Clang, clang, clang————

Inside the Tower Ascending Sword Pool, one famous sword after another emitted trembling sounds, as if they were about to rise from the ground.

"Senior Brother, be quick and seize the opportunity!" The Heavenly Mansion Saint Daughter said with bright eyes as she saw this scene unfold.

"Alright!" The Heavenly Mansion Saint Heir also knew this was his opportunity. He fixed his gaze on the Star Fighting Divine Sword, preparing to grab it.

Boom!

However, in the next instant, terrifying Sword Qi burst forth from the Star Fighting Divine Sword, sweeping across in a wide arc and forcing him back; then, it shot into the sky in the blink of an eye.

The Heavenly Mansion Saint Heir’s eyelids twitched; that sword had nearly severed his neck!

He felt a lingering fear.

The Heavenly Mansion Saint Heir looked at the Star Fighting Divine Sword, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

To tell the truth, he had not suffered such a setback in many years.

Today, within the Tower Ascending Sword Pool, he could be said to have lost all face!

Clang, clang, clang————

Apart from the Star Fighting Divine Sword, the other famous swords also rose from the ground one after another, surging toward the depths of the Tower Ascending Sword Pool.

Tens of thousands of famous swords formed a Sword Sea, all converging in the center of the Tower Ascending Sword Pool.

The famous swords on the outer edges, however, didn’t move.

It wasn’t because they weren’t affected, but rather because the other famous swords were too strong, and they didn’t dare to mingle with them.

This scene left everyone inside the Tower Ascending Sword Pool stunned.

"Isn’t this the Anomaly caused by Senior Brother years ago?!"

Pei Yanchao and Gu Ya were incredibly shocked and instinctively turned to look at Xu Zhonglou.

Xu Zhonglou paused his steps, staring intently at the spectacle with a grave expression.

Years ago, when he came to the Tower Ascending Sword Pool, he had also caused all its famous swords to vie for acknowledgment of their master.

But after going to Xuanzhong and the Hundred Refinement Sword Pool, he hit a wall everywhere, so he eventually chose a famous sword from the Tower Ascending Sword Pool that was named Zhonglou.

The scene before him was strikingly similar to his past.

Because of it, he became the most notable figure within the Sword Tomb, admired by junior brothers and sisters, envied by his senior brothers and sisters, and loved by the high echelons of the Sword Tomb.

Perhaps it was for this reason that he seemed somewhat complacent.

But now, Xu Zhonglou felt stimulated.

He had underestimated the people of the world.

He thought he was unique.

Only today did he realize there was a ’higher sky above one’s sky, and a person beyond one’s self’!

All along, his laziness, wasn’t it also a form of arrogance?

Since he could surpass others by merely practicing haphazardly, why not be a salted fish?

"For those weak in strength but with aspirations higher than heavens, this is indeed arrogance, but for the strong, it is confidence,"

Xu Zhonglou muttered to himself, repeating the words he had previously used to mock Ye Xuan.

He gave a self-deprecating smile. "I thought I was the latter, but now I see that Ye Xuan is the latter, Zhou Youwei is the latter, and I am only the former."

Xu Zhonglou unclenched his fists, not shouting to challenge Ye Xuan anymore, but silently watched the scene.

After today, he would undergo a transformation.

The old Xu Zhonglou would never appear again!
