Chapter 748: Chapter 745: Not Worth Mentioning

"Is that person from the Immortal King Hall?!"

Chu Jiangqiu and Elder Liu Bajian were both astounded, only just regaining their senses.

Song Qilin, Huang Yue, Pei Yanchao, and Gu Ya were people who couldn’t forget that figure for a long time.

Zhou Youwei’s master, was he really that terrifying?

And the person was actually from the Immortal King Hall!?

This was something they had never expected.

For ordinary cultivators, they might not even know what the Immortal King Hall is.

But every person present was a genius from ancient heritages, so naturally, they knew more than the average person.

They were also clearer about what kind of existence the Immortal King Hall represented.

In the East Desolation Domain, there were many forces revered as ancient inheritances.

But in the eyes of truly ancient inheritances, the Immortal King Hall, Mountain God Dao, and Southern Sea Immortal Island were considered the real predecessors!

The Sword Tomb is old enough, isn’t it?

It was established during the time of the Human Clan’s brilliance, dating back to the Primordial Wilderness Era.

However, whether it be the Immortal King Hall, Mountain God Dao, or Southern Sea Immortal Island, their existence can even be traced back to before the Mythical Era.

It’s conceivable how ancient they are.

Although the Immortal King Hall has been reclusive for a long time, the legends about it are numerous.

Take the most recent example.

Ninety thousand years ago, a genius from the Immortal King Hall contended with the Double Emperors and nearly succeeded in Proving Emperor.

Despite defeat in the battle to Prove Emperor, would someone who contended with the Double Emperors be weak?

Such a person must be at the peak of their era!

"So, Miss Zhou is a disciple of the Immortal King Hall?" Chu Jiangqiu couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile.

No wonder Young Master Ye said what he did just now.

Competing with the Immortal King Hall for people is indeed difficult!

The way people looked at Zhou Youwei shifted once again.

If previously Zhou Youwei was seen as startlingly gorgeous, now she was someone people had to treat with great importance.

The identity of the Holy Daughter of the Emperor Immortal Sect might carry weight in the Southern Domain, but in the entire East Desolate, it held no significance at all and might even attract mockery.

But the identity of a disciple of the Immortal King Hall was enough to make all overlords of the entire East Desolate treat her with the utmost seriousness.

"Since that is the case, we won’t ask further. However, this old man still wants to ask one more question: what is Miss Zhou’s master’s status in the Immortal King Hall?" Chu Jiangqiu looked toward Zhou Youwei.

Zhou Youwei showed a color of embarrassment on her face; she didn’t really know the answer to this question...

Zhou Youwei could only look towards Ye Xuan for help.

Seeing this scene, Ye Xuan, ignoring Zhou Youwei’s pitiful appearance, laughed heartily and said while laughing, "According to that guy, he is just a cultivator in the Immortal King Hall."

"As for status, well, it’s not worth mentioning, he’s just the Sovereign of the Sect of the Immortal King Hall."

When everyone heard the first part of his statement, they were fine, but upon hearing the latter part, they were all taken aback, nearly toppling to the ground.

Not worth mentioning?!

The Sovereign of the Sect of the Immortal King Hall?!

For heaven’s sake, what kind of joke is this?!

Chu Jiangqiu and Liu Bajian were choked up, only managing to leave the scene awkwardly.

For heaven’s sake, they came to poach someone else’s disciple, and it turned out to be the disciple of the Sovereign of the Sect of the Immortal King Hall.

Such a sin...

"Let’s go, it’s time to fetch the swords." Ye Xuan didn’t stay any longer, taking Zhou Youwei with him toward the Xuanzhong Sword Pool.

Huang Yue and the others quickly followed behind.

——————

In the Sword Tomb Hall.

Boom!

The clouds and fog exploded, and a young Taoist appeared out of thin air above the vast Daoist arena in front of the Sword Tomb Hall.

Yuan Kong and the others, who had been paying attention to the periphery of the Xuanzhong Sword Pool, withdrew their Divine Senses and fixed their gaze on the young Taoist.

The young Taoist’s demeanor was calm, he raised both hands, gathering the light breeze in his sleeves and made a slight bow, saying, "This humble priest Wu Muchen, has come uninvited from the Immortal King Hall, I hope the friends of the Sword Tomb won’t take offense."

At the time of the bow, there was a continuous rumbling of clear thunder from the sky dome.

Using courtesy, instead of soldiers!

This young Sovereign of the Immortal King Hall appears polite, yet his sharpness fully revealed!

The many Supreme Elders of the Sword Tomb all had a slight change in expression and were pushed back two steps.

Only the three previous Sect Leaders Duan Canghai, Feng Qingyun, and Yuan Kong stood firm like mountains, though their expressions also changed subtly, clearly not so at ease.

"Wu Muchen, are you Wu Muchen?!" Yuan Kong looked at the young daoist, his eyes filled with astonishment.

The young daoist stood up straight and smiled faintly, "Indeed."

Yuan Kong exchanged a look with his Master Feng Qingyun and his teacher’s Master Duan Canghai, all seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.

Wu Muchen, what did these three words represent?

They represented the most talented individual within the East Desolate after the Double Emperors ascended to the peak!

An elder from Divine Divination Sect once said that if it weren’t for the Double Emperors ascension draining the Spiritual Energy, Wu Muchen would have been a shining star on the road of Proving Emperor!

Unfortunately, this person was but a fleeting presence, ultimately disappearing from the Cultivation World.

Everyone thought he had left the East Desolate for other continents, or perhaps was seeking ancient ruins.

Who would have thought that he had joined the Immortal King Hall and even became the Sovereign of the Immortal King Hall!

"My disciple has come to visit the Sword Tomb, seeking to find a sword that resonates with her. We apologize for any inconvenience," said the young daoist, not dwelling on the issue, with an apologetic smile.

Although he said so, it seemed he wasn’t the slightest bit apologetic.

Otherwise, why would he start off by intimidating them?

Yuan Kong forced a smile, "It’s our Sword Tomb that has been rude, unaware that Miss Zhou was your disciple, causing such a misunderstanding, and even prompting you to come personally, which I deeply regret."

The young daoist smiled lightly, "I do not like beating around the bush. As for the cause and effect of this matter, I’ve come personally to resolve it. On the founding day of the Sword Tomb, my Immortal King Hall will present a significant gift."

Duan Canghai tugged at the corner of his mouth, opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Does the daoist friend truly place such importance on cause and effect? Although Miss Zhou will certainly take a sword, it can hardly be considered cause and effect for our Sword Tomb, after all, too many have come to our Sword Tomb to take swords."

The young daoist shook his head, "Once a sword is taken from the Sword Tomb, it’s entwined with cause and effect, and I do not wish for this to affect my disciple’s path in the Dao in the future."

Duan Canghai also shook his head, "Afraid we can’t break this cause and effect then."

"How so?" asked the young daoist.

"Miss Zhou’s husband, Young Master Ye Xuan, has significant cause and effect with our Sword Tomb," Duan Canghai said with a smile.

The young daoist was startled, seeming to recall something, his face suddenly breaking into a smile, "Actually, I was just joking with you all. Although I have always been in the Immortal King Hall, I greatly admire the Sword Tomb. Today, I especially came to visit and also to deepen the friendship between the Immortal King Hall and the Sword Tomb..."

"Eh?"

The young daoist’s sudden change in attitude caught Duan Canghai and the others off guard.

This...

This isn’t the Sovereign of the Immortal King Hall, is it?

Why is he being so... shameless?!

The three generations of Sect Leaders and the Elders of Sword Tomb couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of their mouths.

At the same time, they also confirmed something.

Young Master Ye Xuan indeed had a deep association with the Immortal King Hall!

Otherwise, they would not have suddenly changed their attitude upon hearing that Ye Xuan had a significant cause and effect with the Sword Tomb.

But for the Sword Tomb, this was a great opportunity.

"Daoist friend Wu is truly a man of character," said Duan Canghai, barely suppressing his laughter as he bowed with his hands clasped together.

"Oh, you flatter me," said the young daoist with a wave of his hand.

What was originally a tension-filled atmosphere completely shattered, turning into a conversation between old friends.

Boom————

At that moment, everyone felt a terrifying Sword Qi surge up into the sky.

Soon after, a collection of mighty famous swords burst into the air, emitting sword cries, as if they were competing to submit.

The direction was precisely that of the Xuanzhong Sword Pool.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, showing expressions of admiration, "Daoist friend Wu really has taken in an extraordinary disciple."

"Oh, stop it, my disciple is still very young, not deserving of such praise," said the young daoist modestly, though anyone could see the slight pride in his eyes.

Duan Canghai and the others could hardly resist the urge to slap him a couple of times, but since this fellow was Wu Muchen, they refrained. If it had been anyone else, they might indeed have drawn their swords and pierced him with a couple of transparent holes.

But this fellow was Wu Muchen, so they let it be.

For no other reason.

Simply because these three words meant that they could not possibly be his opponent.

Not just them, even if the Sword Master Wu Yue of the Taiji Sword Sect were here, it would not do.

"If Young Master Ye Xuan had come earlier to take the River Soldier, Miss Zhou might already be a disciple of our Sword Tomb," Yuan Kong said, feeling a pang of regret.

Meanwhile, at the Tower Ascending Sword Pool, where the proud holder of the Star Fighting Divine Sword, the Heavenly Mansion Saint, had his expression freeze. Glancing at the Star Fighting Divine Sword and then toward the direction of the Xuanzhong Sword Pool, he suddenly found the Star Fighting Divine Sword in his hand less appealing...
