After a brief moment of shock, the three of them calmed down.
After changing the topic, the palace master asked Fang Chen, "Now that you've obtained the Buried Sword Emperor's inheritance, how strong are you now?"
After pondering for a moment, Fang Chen said, "Low-level Profound Kings aren't my match."
The three of them were shocked once more.
From the aura Fang Chen had just released, they could tell that he hadn't reached the Profound King Realm yet.
A ninth-level True Martial Realm cultivator fighting a low-level Profound King Realm cultivator? Who in the entire Sword Burial Prefecture could do that?
After that, the palace master and Fang Chen chatted a lot.
In the end, Fang Chen left the Sword Burial Immortal Palace.
The reason he had immediately returned to the Sword Burial Immortal Palace was because his master had left something for the Sword Burial Immortal Palace.
Although Fang Chen didn't know what that thing was, it was extremely important to the Sword Burial Immortal Palace.
Furthermore, it could allow the Sword Burial Prefecture to truly rise.
Although the Sword Burial Prefecture was above the Mortal Continent, it couldn't compare to the Outerverse because of its scarcity of origin energy.
Once he obtained that thing, the Sword Burial Prefecture would have hope of becoming comparable to the Outerverse.
After leaving the Sword Burial Immortal Palace, Fang Chen left the Sword Burial Prefecture as well.
"I should return to the Five Elements Sword City to take a look," muttered Fang Chen.
Before returning to the Ancient Sword Continent, Fang Chen had to deal with the Sword Burial Prefecture first.
The True Meaning of Spacetime of the third grade was simply too overbearing. Previously, it would have taken several hours to reach the Five Elements Sword City. Now, it would only take a quarter of an hour.
The Five Elements Sword City was still the same as before.
Fang Chen glanced at it from afar before entering the city.
As soon as he entered the Five Element Sword City, Fang Chen discovered that countless martialists were rushing in a certain direction.
"What's going on?" Fang Chen didn't understand.
After that, Fang Chen stopped a cultivator and asked, "Brother, what's going on up ahead?"
"Don't you know? The Five Elements Palace Master is fighting the Divine Destruction Palace Master. It's such an important matter, so of course we have to go watch." The cultivator hastily left.
"Great battle!"
The corners of Fang Chen's mouth curled up, revealing an imperceptible smile.
When they arrived at the square, there was already a sea of people at a glance. On the martial arts stage, there were two people standing facing each other.
"The two of them are actually going to fight," Fang Chen said to himself.
Fang Chen's spiritual sense was very sharp. He instantly captured the discussions of many warriors.
"In the past two years, the Godly Destruction Palace and the Blood Moon Assassin Organization have reached a new agreement. They have been pressuring the Five Elements Palace."
"That's right. If it wasn't for the protection of the Sword Burial Immortal Palace, the Five Elements Palace wouldn't have been able to last until now."
"Today's battle will determine the fate of the Five Elements Palace. Once the Five Elements Palace Master is defeated, the Five Elements Palace will be completely disbanded."
"If the City Lord is here, there might still be a chance."
Hearing this, the others shook their heads.
"Even if the City Lord is here, there is no turning point. This time, the Blood Moon Assassin Organization and the Divine Destruction Palace are determined to destroy the Five Elements Palace and take control of the Five Elements Sword City."
On the square, many martial artists were discussing animatedly.
After a while, Fang Chen understood.
It turned out that the Blood Moon Assassin Organization and the Divine Destruction Palace were together again.
"Good, let's settle it once and for all," said Fang Chen.
As the City Lord, he wasn't competent at all. He had just become the City Lord, but he had already entered the Burial Sword City.
While Fang Chen was thinking, the aura on the martial arts stage suddenly rose.
"Five Elements Palace Master, surrender!" The God Destroying Palace Master's aura was thick as he roared.
"Divine Destruction Palace Master, my Five Elements Palace is the orthodox Sect of the Five Elements Sword City. You are rebelling," said the Five Elements Palace Master coldly.
"Five Elements Palace Master, don't you know the current situation?"
"Unless I die, you won't be able to touch the Five Elements Palace," roared the Five Elements Palace Master furiously.
Rumble …
A shocking battle instantly erupted on the martial arts stage.
A battle between Profound Kings caused a huge commotion.
Fortunately, the martial arts stage had been reinforced beforehand. It was able to withstand a battle between two Profound Kings.
On the martial arts stage, sword light flickered. Their attacks were equally matched.
"Second Level Profound King Realm?"
With Fang Chen's eyesight, he could tell that the Divine Destruction Palace Master's cultivation had reached the Second Level Profound King Realm. On the other hand, the Five Elements Palace Master's cultivation was at the peak of the First Level Profound King Realm.
It was obvious that the Five Elements Palace Master couldn't withstand the Divine Destruction Palace Master's attack.
As expected, after a few hundred moves, the Divine Destruction Palace Master began to take control of the situation.
"The Five Elements Palace will be destroyed today."
The Divine Destruction Palace Master laughed sinisterly. He then stretched out his hand and pressed it down.
Puchi …
The Divine Destruction Palace Master's all-out attack pushed the Five Elements Palace Master back.
Taking advantage of the Five Elements Palace Master's retreat, the Divine Destruction Palace Master's thunderous attack instantly swooped down.
"Does the heavens want to destroy my Five Elements Palace?" said the Five Elements Palace Master unwillingly.
Below the Martial Arts Practice Platform, everyone was watching this battle.
Everyone from the Five Elements Palace was anxious. They wanted to help, but to no avail.
"Palace Master."
The crowd roared loudly.
Just as the Divine Destruction Palace Master's thunderous attack was about to hit the Five Elements Palace Master, a huge hand suddenly appeared and easily grasped the Divine Destruction Palace Master's attack.
Then, under everyone's dumbfounded gazes, the huge hand gently pushed back the Divine Destruction Palace Master's attack.
The sudden turn of events caused everyone to be extremely shocked.
Even the Five Elements Palace Master was dumbfounded.
An instant later, an uproar resounded through the square.
"City Lord!"
The Five Elements Palace Master was the first to recognize Fang Chen and shouted.
Everyone in the square was shocked.
"The City Lord is back!"
"He blocked the Divine Destruction Palace Master's thunderous attack!"
Everyone exclaimed. Fang Chen's appearance was too inconceivable.
The Divine Destruction Palace Master stabilized his body. His eyes were cold as he stared at Fang Chen and said, "Kid, you finally stopped being a coward."
"City Lord, you're back!" said the Five Elements Palace Master excitedly.
Fang Chen glanced at the Five Elements Palace Master and said, "You retreat first. Leave this to me."
"City Lord!"
The Five Elements Palace Master was a bit worried about Fang Chen, but when he saw the latter's gaze, he immediately retreated.
"The Five Elements Palace Master is the acting City Lord of the Five Elements Sword City. While I'm gone, he has full authority over everything in the Five Elements Sword City." Fang Chen paused for a moment and then said, "If you want to destroy the Five Elements Palace, then you're rebelling."
"So what if I'm rebelling?" said the Divine Destruction Palace Master arrogantly.
"I think you should know the consequences of rebelling," said Fang Chen calmly.
"Don't try to scare me. Kid, since you've returned, then you can die with me," said the Divine Destruction Palace Master coldly.
Fang Chen shook his head. "You're not my match."
After saying that, Fang Chen raised his head and looked into the sky. "How long are you going to hide?"
Hearing Fang Chen's words, the people in the square were a bit confused.
But when they saw a figure appear in the sky, they were incomparably shocked.
The leader of the Bloodmoon Assassin Organization had always been hiding in the sky, just in case.
Now that he was discovered by Fang Chen, he was also a bit surprised.
"You can discover me?" asked the Bloodmoon Assassin.
Fang Chen sneered, "You dare to embarrass yourself in front of me with such little tricks?"
He saw disdain in Fang Chen's eyes.
Facing two Profound Kings, he wasn't the slightest bit afraid.
"Kid, are you courting death?" said the Bloodmoon Assassin icily.
Although the Bloodmoon Assassin's cultivation base was also at the second level of the Profound King Realm, he was far more terrifying than the Divine Destruction Palace Master.
The Bloodmoon Assassin hadn't fought in a long time.
Could it be that he was going to fight today?
"There's no need for you to do anything. I alone can destroy the Five Elements Palace and kill these ants," said the Divine Destruction Palace Master arrogantly.
The Five Elements Palace's people were very nervous.
When the City Lord had left, he had only been a True Martial Realm cultivator.
It had only been a few years. No matter how talented he was, he couldn't be compared to a Profound King Realm cultivator.
"As the City Lord of the Five Elements Sword City, I'm responsible for suppressing all disturbances in the Five Elements Sword City. Anyone who dares to rebel will be killed without mercy," said Fang Chen. "From today onwards, the Bloodmoon Assassin Organization and the Divine Destruction Palace will not be involved."
Fang Chen's words were very domineering.
His attitude was very clear. He would never back down.
His words had thoroughly infuriated the two Profound Kings.
