The largest plaza in the Chaotic Star City was located at the top of the meteorite. It was a flat surface carved out by a divine weapon. It had a radius of more than 50 miles and one couldn't see the end of it. Normally, only when the Demon Dragon Palace had something important to announce would they gather all the Demon Dragon Palace's experts here.
At this moment, many of the Demonic Dragon Palace's upper echelons were sitting in the highest seats. The Demonic Dragon Palace's Palace Master, who was dressed in simple clothes, was sitting there, his eyes shining with a divine light. He was looking down at the people below.
The Demon Dragon Palace had more than a hundred Nirvana Tribulation Realm experts and above. Currently, there were more than 20 of them gathered here. It could be said that all the Nirvana Tribulation Realm experts in the Chaotic Star City had gathered here.
The reason why they had such a grand formation was because there were five people standing on this pitch-black plaza that was sparkling with starlight. One of them was handsome, outstanding, and radiant. This man was Wang Chen. Wang Chen's eyes were filled with hatred as he sized up the people from the Demonic Dragon Palace. He had always been a shrewd person, but no one knew what he was thinking at this moment.
Next to him were four experts of different ages. Two of them were old men with white hair and beards, and one was an attractive adult. However, her face was as cold as an iceberg, making it hard for people to approach her. The one standing closest to Wang Chen was a martial artist who looked a little older than Wang Chen.
These were the Four Great Swordmasters of the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace. Every one of them was a terrifying character and had been famous for over ten thousand years. Their fame was undeniable and they were even more astonishing than the Demon Dragon Palace Master. After all, the Demon Dragon Palace Master was a mysterious existence to the world, but they were the current rulers of the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace.
The man standing closest to Wang Chen was Lingxi's father, the Lingwu Sword Master.
The appearance of the Lingwu Sword Master was also a first-class handsome man, almost the same as that of Wang Chen. He was wearing a golden robe with rolling dragons, with two crossed swords embroidered on his back. His eyes were pure white, almost without pupils, and no expression could be seen. The only thing that flashed in his eyes was the Sword Intent. In addition, two small sword-shaped pendants could be seen hanging on his ears. One was blue and the other was red, like crystals, which was quite enchanting. It also made the appearance of the Lingwu Sword Master somewhat enchanting.
This was an expert who had hidden in the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace for ten thousand years. He almost never showed himself and rarely came to a place like the Nine Star Chaos City. This time, for the Sword Spirit Emperor and Lingxi, they came here. Originally, they had decided to barge into the Chaotic Divine Kingdom, but the Demon Dragon Palace Master stopped them. Now, they had to consider the current situation.
"Master, it's already been twenty days. We still have to stay here and confront this old man. What if Xi 'er and the others don't come out forever? Is this Demon Dragon Palace Lord really that strong?" Wang Chen narrowed his eyes as he spoke in a neither hurried nor slow manner.
But in his heart, he was still very anxious.
The longer Lingxi stayed with Long Chen, the more uneasy he felt.
Ling Xi's father, the very young Lingwu Sword Master, remained silent. His pair of pure white, flawless eyes stared in the direction of the Demonic Dragon Palace Master.
"I promised him that he would leave Xi 'er alone once she came out. But who knows if that coward Long Chen will stay in there for the rest of his life? If he stays there for the rest of his life, won't we have to wait here for the rest of our lives as well?" Wang Chen couldn't help asking.
The other three sword masters didn't say anything. The Lingwu Sword Master's pure white eyes didn't seem to have any expression. No one knew what he was thinking.
Wang Chen thought about it and decided to keep his mouth shut.
He knew that his master and the other three sword masters should be more anxious than him. Wang Chen had just found out that Lingxi was the reincarnation of the Sword Spirit Emperor. This scared him to death, but it also strengthened his resolve to not let Lingxi leave with Long Chen. What kind of joke was this? The Sword Spirit Emperor of the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace was abducted by a disciple of the Martial Emperor Palace?
So no matter what the reason was, Wang Chen was most proud of the fact that his master would definitely stand by his side.
As time passed, the Demon Dragon Palace's people didn't say anything. They just stopped the four sword masters from advancing.
"Lingwu, I think that brat Wang Chen won't dare to make a move for a few years. Let's go all out. Don't let the other party look down on us." The enchanting yet cold Sword Master said softly.
Lingxi's father was the youngest among the four sword masters, but he was also the most talented one. Among the four sword masters, he was publicly recognized as the strongest in terms of combat strength. He also had the majority of the decision-making power of the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace. He was the most dazzling genius among the previous generations of the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace. When he was young, his status in the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace was already comparable to Wang Chen.
When the Lingwu Sword Master was still a new generation cultivator, the other three sword masters were already in the position of sword masters.
This matter was of great importance and couldn't be taken lightly. Therefore, the four sword masters had to take action together.
"With our strength, it will be difficult for us to win against the Demon Dragon Palace Master. If the other party counterattacks, he might kill one or two of us. The gains don't make up for the losses. Let's wait." A golden-eyed elder stroked his beard and said hesitantly.
What he said made sense.
Wang Chen was clear that in front of these higher ups, he was only a junior and didn't have the qualifications to speak. However, this matter concerned his future and fate. He pondered for a while and said, "Xi 'er seems to have been deeply bewitched by that youth. She has already forgotten herself, forgotten about the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace, and doesn't care about master's kindness in raising her. She's still young and easily deceived. If this continues, it won't be good."
Yes, they had reached a stage where they had no choice but to fight.
Lingxi had been raised by the Lingwu Sword Master since she was young, so the decision was in his hands. At this moment, everyone looked at the Lingwu Sword Master. The white-eyed Lingwu Sword Master lowered his head and said, "I'll fight you alone, the Demon Dragon Palace Master."
If it was just the Lingwu Sword Master alone, it could only be regarded as a spar. The other three felt that it was feasible, so they nodded. Just like that, the Lingwu Sword Master, who was wearing a golden dragon robe, had long black hair, white eyes, and earrings, continued to rise into the air. He faced the Demon Dragon Palace Master, who was sitting at the highest position. He raised his arm and said in a clear voice, "Demon Dragon Palace Master, please enlighten me."
Such boldness was rumored to be the Lingwu Swordmaster's character. The Lingwu Swordmaster was extremely popular in the Swordsoul Imperial Region. Even Wang Chen couldn't compare to him. He was the greatest legendary figure in the Swordsoul Imperial Region.
The Demon Dragon Palace Master laughed heartily as if he had expected this. He said, "How can this old man be a match for the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace's genius Sword Master? I hope that the Sword Master can wait for a while. Who knows, the two of them might arrive soon."
The Lingwu Sword Master's expression didn't change. The blue and red crystal swords on his ears grew bigger, becoming a pair of longswords in his hands. These two swords were the super divine weapons that made the Lingwu Sword Master famous. Although they were two swords, they could be considered as one when combined. They were one of the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace's four peerless divine swords. They were famous in the Three Regions and Nine Worlds, and also one of the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace's treasures. The blue and red crystal swords each had eight dao patterns, close to a perfect nine dao patterns.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that these two swords were peerless divine swords. In the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace's history, they had existed for hundreds of thousands of years. They were divine swords refined by successive Sword Masters. Every generation of Sword Masters used the might of these peerless divine swords to sweep across the world.
The Lingwu Sword Master wielded the two swords. The entire sky on the left was burning with flames, while the sky on the right was frozen. The Lingwu Sword Master stood in the middle as if he wanted to cut the sky and earth in half.
Looking at the Lingwu Sword Master like this, the old man's expression didn't change. He stretched out an arm, and that arm suddenly expanded like an explosion, turning into a thousand-meter-long dragon claw. It was covered in purple dragon scales, and the grandmist purple qi revolved around it. This thousand-meter-long dragon claw contained boundless might. The Demon Dragon Palace Master continued to sit on his throne and smiled, "Since Lingwu Sword Master wants to fight with me, I shall accept it. If you can make me leave this throne, it will be Sword Master's victory. How about it?"
The Lingwu Sword Master didn't mind being looked down upon like this. He asked, "If I win, can I enter Chaotic Star City and take my daughter away?"
"No." The Demon Dragon Palace Master said something that made everyone want to vomit blood.
"How?" The Lingwu Sword Master snorted coldly.
"The Primal Chaos Divine Kingdom is a treasury that my ancestors occupied. The ancestors of the Demon Dragon Palace strictly forbade any experts above the Nirvana Tribulation Realm from other forces to enter. All of you are the leaders of the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace. If I allow you to enter, I will have no choice but to apologize with my life. Therefore, if you want to enter the Primal Chaos Divine Kingdom, you can kill me."
The Lingwu Sword Master's expression changed. He gritted his teeth and said, "Since that's the case, let me experience senior's move."
