Chapter 1329: Ning Wuque
The moment the handsome young man appeared, the expressions of Sikong Ying and others changed drastically, their faces showing slight panic.
Deputy Pavilion Master Xu, on the other hand, looked sullen, his eyes flickering and remaining silent.
"Greetings, Hall Master Ning..."
Sikong Ying and others quickly bowed with great respect.
This strange young man, although only a hall master, surpassed him in both status and strength.
In the Sword Pavilion.
Vice Master Lu held immense power, wielding authority alone, while this Hall Master Ning commanded the strongest force under Vice Master Lu.
The Hall of War God—
is the most powerful combat force within the Sword Pavilion. As the Hall Master of the Hall of War God, Ning Wuque’s actual status can rival that of some vice pavilion masters outside the world.
For example, Deputy Pavilion Master Xu, in the power dynamics outside, had almost the same influence as Ning Wuque.
Therefore, when Ning Wuque arrived in this grand hall, he paid no regard to anyone.
Including Deputy Pavilion Master Xu.
Sikong Ying and the others were naturally aware of this.
The Hall of War God is the most formidable killing machine outside the world, with all its members being brave and fierce, immensely powerful, and having glorious battle achievements. No one dared to provoke the Hall of War Gods’ people.
"No need for formalities."
Ning Wuque looked at Sikong Ying indifferently and chuckled lightly.
He gave off the impression, not of a decisive war god, but of a gentle scholar with a spring-like smile.
Sikong Ying pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Hall Master Ning, there are indeed many exceptional talents this time..."
"Oh, then let me take a look."
Ning Wuque nodded and then slowly walked to stand beside Deputy Pavilion Master Xu.
"Greetings, Deputy Pavilion Master Xu."
He smiled slightly.
"Didn’t expect Hall Master Ning to have such an interest in observing this selection match..."
Deputy Pavilion Master Xu squinted his eyes slightly and said faintly, staring at the Water Mirror.
"The lord is very concerned about the three disciples joining outside the world this year, so he sent me to take a look..."
Ning Wuque laughed.
"Hmm!"
Deputy Pavilion Master Xu nodded and then continued to stare at the Water Mirror without speaking.
Lu Buqun, that fellow, knew full well what he was plotting in his heart.
Sending a capable subordinate to observe this Sword Dao Pride was nothing more than to see if there was any talent stronger than him.
Deputy Pavilion Master Xu deeply understood how narrow-minded Lu Buqun was, with no tolerance for others.
He would always send people to observe, gather information in advance, and if a promising Sword Dao Pride caught his eye, he would forcibly drag them into the War God Pavilion, turning them into his subordinates.
Deep within his heart.
Deputy Pavilion Master Xu did not want Ye Chen to join the War God Pavilion.
He hoped Ye Chen could rise like a comet and secure a place outside the world, standing up to Lu Buqun.
"Does this little guy in the Divine Venerate Realm have anything special?"
Ning Wuque looked at the Water Mirror, glanced twice, and asked with a smile.
In the Water Mirror, the image of the young man in white was noticeably larger than others, indicating that many people were paying attention to him.
"Hmph!"
Deputy Pavilion Master Xu snorted coldly, with a cold face, and said nothing.
Ning Wuque glanced at Sikong Ying.
Sikong Ying dared not offend this close subordinate of Vice Master Lu, stepped forward two steps, and softly explained, "This young man in white is named Ye Chen, indeed extremely talented in Sword Dao."
"Hmm, then I look forward to it."
Ning Wuque smiled subtly.
Sikong Ying stood by awkwardly and said nothing, knowing full well that these two big figures outside the world were not on harmonious terms, having many conflicts between them.
For a long time.
Vice Master Lu Buqun held great authority, extremely high-profile, which made the other vice pavilion masters complain bitterly.
...
Ye Yun continued flying low over the treetops, searching for the next target.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
A Sword Dao prodigy at the Second Layer of the Divine King Realm, hidden deep in the shade of the trees, suddenly soared into the air, launching a deadly strike at Ye Yun.
Ye Yun retreated with ease and dodged.
"Worthy of being a tough one..."
The young man was taken aback and fled without hesitation.
He turned into a streak of light, darting left and right in the dense forest, moving extremely fast.
At this moment.
This tall forest played its role completely.
Due to the restrictions of Divine Sense.
Using the cover of these tall trees, one could escape easily.
This young man had been ambushing before, appearing very skillful and experienced.
If the strike fails.
He would immediately evacuate.
Especially when facing someone like Ye Chen, known to be ruthless.
"Trying to run?"
Ye Yun sneered coldly, as his Divine Sense was too powerful, scanning wider than others in this Miniature World.
Ye Yun locked onto the young man and quickly chased after him.
Within a few breaths.
He closed the distance between them.
The young man’s face was panic-stricken, knowing he couldn’t escape.
Swish!
Ye Yun, at ease, swung his sword.
"Worthy of being ruthless, I admit defeat..."
The young man turned around, wryly smiling, raising the Slaughter Token.
As Ye Yun’s attack was about to land, a beam of light wrapped completely around the young man, instantly disappearing without a trace.
"Another ten points gained!"
Ye Yun smiled with satisfaction, sheathed the Silver Dragon Sword, soared high again, continuing to search for the next target atop the canopy.
Inside the Divine Mountain Hall.
Deputy Pavilion Master Xu’s expression was complicated, switching between bright and dark.
"Hope Ye Chen doesn’t stand out too much, just moderately. It’s best if he encounters only those of the First and Second Layers of the Divine King Realm..."
He thought silently in his heart.
The reason for such thoughts was that Deputy Pavilion Master Xu did not want Ye Chen to expose all his abilities in front of Ning Wuque.
If Ye Chen’s talents were beyond Lu Buqun, it might not be good.
Keeping a low profile.
Would not attract too much trouble.
A gasp sounded.
"Goodness, this Ye Chen, at merely the Fifth Layer of the God Venerate Realm, was able to force a Sword Dao prodigy at the Second Layer of the Divine King Realm to concede. Quite the talent, isn’t he?"
Ning Wuque’s eyes narrowed slightly, his face also showing shock.
Ye Chen’s talent was already comparable to his own back in the day.
"Ye Chen is indeed excellent, just a bit lower in realm..."
Sikong Ying laughed from the side.
"Indeed, this one has potential to join my Hall of War God!"
Ning Wuque nodded with a smile.
Deputy Pavilion Master Xu’s eyes flickered, and he spoke faintly, "Hall Master Ning, if I remember correctly, the Hall of War God recruits disciples at least in the Divine King Realm, isn’t that right?"
"Correct, Deputy Pavilion Master Xu has an excellent memory."
Ning Wuque laughed and said.
"This Ye Chen is not at the Divine King Realm yet, he cannot join the Hall of War God!"
Deputy Pavilion Master Xu said solemnly.
"Exceptions can always be made! This Ye Chen is so outstanding, with some training, he could break through to the Divine King Realm!"
Ning Wuque smiled with mischievous charm, unconcerned as he spoke.
Deputy Pavilion Master Xu turned around, his gaze burning bright, and said lightly, "To be honest, I also have plans to recruit Ye Chen into the Wind and Cloud Pavilion!"
"What a coincidence?"
Ning Wuque spread his hands, looking at Deputy Pavilion Master Xu with a half-smile.
