Supreme Sword Exalt

For a time, those denied entry continuously cursed Gu Han. Of course, they didn’t dare bring up Fatty because they simply couldn’t afford to provoke the Fu family.

“That’s too much!”

“That guy is just narrow-minded, he’s so petty!”

“What right do they have to stop us from entering? Tianji Valley isn’t his!”

“What business does a man from the Eastern Wasteland have throwing his weight around in the Central Continent?!”

The crowd’s discussions reached the ears of those Saint cultivators. They didn’t care what Gu Han had done. They only cared about what the heavenly phenomenon from earlier actually was, and whether a great opportunity had truly appeared.

***

In the air above, Fang Xing had heard everything Sword Prince and Wu Sheng said clearly, and couldn’t help but sneer. “Fellow Daoist, stopping others from entering is a bit tyrannical, don’t you think? And that phenomenon earlier... Heh, Fellow Daoist Fu’s greed shouldn’t be too obvious!”

Fu Dahai coldly interrupted him, “You want an opportunity? Go ask that old charlatan yourself!”

Fang Xing’s expression darkened. Ask?

He had already sought out Tian Ji once about another matter, but that guy simply ignored him, so he sent Sword Prince to wait outside. Asking now would most likely yield no results either.

He stared at Fu Dahai. “I heard you don’t have much lifespan left. The Life Extension Fruit at the Central Dao Palace still needs over ten years to mature...”

Fu Dahai shot him a cold look. “What’s your problem? Do you want to fight? Cause I will!”

Not only was he growing patient inside, he was also worried about Fatty and Gu Han’s safety. He was about to force his way in when the mist within the Tian Ji Great Formation churned violently. A narrow, winding path three chi wide opened up, and two figures emerged.

Fatty didn’t forget to remind, “Instructor Mei, don’t listen to that old charlatan. I will come visit you often. Remember to open the door for me!”

The crowd’s burning gazes fell on the two of them. If there was an opportunity, these two would surely know.

The two were stunned. “Where did all these people come from?”

“The earlier commotion probably drew them over.”

However, before the two could speak, two figures appeared. Fu Dahai landed beside Gu Han, while Fang Xing beside Sword Prince.

Fatty was startled, then said casually, “Old Ancestor, why are you here?”

Fu Dahai grabbed him and started scolding, “You brat! Can’t you keep it down?! All day long, stirring up trouble, causing so many problems! I shouldn’t have agreed earlier and let you come alone...”

Fatty appeared wronged. I have to take the blame for this too?

Just then, Fang Xing’s sharp gaze fell on the two of them. “You just came out from inside. What exactly was that heavenly phenomenon earlier? Did some opportunity appear?”

The other Saints also wanted to ask, but with Fu Dahai around, they didn’t dare speak up easily.

Fatty rolled his eyes and ignored him.

Since Fatty had a special status, Fang Xing wouldn’t do anything to him, so he said coldly to Gu Han, “Kid, you tell me.”

Gu Han stared at him, looking utterly disgusted. “Who are you?”

Wu Guang’s expression turned cold. “How dare you! This is Senior Fang, a Feather Transformation realm—”

Gu Han sneered endlessly. “So what? Is it that impressive?”

He had encountered countless great figures, none of whom Fang Xing could compare to. He had met the old blind man, Steward Yue, the incomparably heroic Chi Yao, and the righteous Flame Emperor. Even when it came to Yun Ao, his mortal enemy, Gu Han had to acknowledge his merits. The man was unruly and exceptionally resourceful, his bearing far surpassing ordinary people.

Gu Han then looked at Wu Guang. “And you, is it really that enjoyable being someone’s filial son and devoted grandson?”

Murderous intent flashed in Wu Guang’s eyes.

Fang Xing said calmly, “Kid, being reckless during your youth will bring great disasters.”

Fu Dahai sneered. “If one isn’t reckless during their youth, how can they live up to their unyielding spirit! Is he wrong? Feather Transformation realm? That’s nothing!”

He was extremely disdainful inside because he had even fought someone at the Ascension realm. Even though it was four against one, and they couldn’t win, they still fought.

The group of Saints appeared embarrassed. If the Feather Transformation realm was nothing, then what were they?

Fu Dahai glared at Fatty. “Learn from him!”

Fatty perked up. Isn’t he just being arrogant? I’m better at it than this bastard!

Fu Dahai pointed at the Tian Ji Great Formation. “You want an opportunity? Then go ask. No one’s stopping you!”

Fang Xing took a deep breath. With Fu Dahai here, he definitely couldn’t lay a hand on Gu Han or Fatty. He had no choice but to ask Tian Ji to determine whether a great opportunity truly existed.

Thinking of this, he activated his cultivation, his voice passing clearly through the formation and into the small courtyard. “Fellow Daoist Tian Ji, that opportunity earlier—”

Tian Ji, who had just entered meditation, lost his temper at the interruption. “What opportunity?! No! What’s there to ask! Don’t ask! Every day, opportunity, opportunity. If you want an opportunity, go to the Central Dao Palace, don’t come looking for me!”

Having been scolded by Tian Jizi, Fang Xing’s expression grew even uglier, and the crowd felt deeply disappointed. Tian Jizi wouldn’t say, and they had no ability to force Gu Han and Fatty. Whether an opportunity existed or not, it no longer concerned them.

Fang Xing forcibly suppressed his anger. “Fu Dahai, why make things so absolute? How much longer do you think you’ll live? After you die, who will be able to protect them?”

Fatty’s expression darkened. Fu Dahai’s limited lifespan was the greatest hidden danger for the Fu family.

An extremely powerful aura erupted, bearing down on Fang Xing.

Fu Dahai stared intently at him. “When I die, I’ll take you with me!”

Feeling a tinge of regret, Fang Xing’s expression changed slightly. If a Feather Transformation realm cultivator with little lifespan left went mad, it would be extremely destructive.

Just then, Sword Prince stepped forward. “Old Ancestor, let me handle this.”

He then glanced at Gu Han. “As a sword cultivator, you are narrow-minded and selfish. Simply because of a few words of dispute, you injured Brother Wu, twisted the facts, and spoke without restraint.

“You also stopped us from seeing Senior Tian Ji. Now, you want to monopolize and hide that opportunity as well?! Someone with such improper character does not deserve to be a sword cultivator!”

The green sword sang clearly, flying into his hand, its tip pointing directly at Gu Han. “I am a sword cultivator! Today, I shall uphold justice and seek fairness for everyone! I shall eliminate a degenerate like you! Draw your sword!”

Those unaware of the truth would really think Gu Han was some kind of heinous criminal.

Sword Prince’s words and actions moved the crowd. They no longer cared about Fu Dahai’s deterrent and began cursing Gu Han.

“Sword Prince, you’re so brave!”

“You said we look down on the Eastern Wasteland? So what if we do?!”

“Eastern Wasteland people are all scum like you!”

Fatty was furious. “That’s complete bullshit! Why would you talk shit about the Eastern Wasteland? Did they kill your entire family or something?!”

Sword Prince said calmly, “Fu Yulin, this has nothing to do with you. Stop being so unreasonable. This man is a degenerate. You being friends with him is an embarrassment to the Central Continent!”

Fatty cursed even louder, “That’s complete bullshit! I am the Heaven-Conquering Prince of the Great Flame Empire of the Eastern Wasteland! You dare look down on the Eastern Wasteland? I will beat you to death!”

He then pointed at Gu Han. “And him! He’s my brother, the number one heavenly pride of the Eastern Wasteland! All you worthless scum aren’t fit to even polish his shoes!”

Fu Dahai was finally satisfied. “Good! That’s arrogant enough. You truly are my descendant!”

Wu Sheng said sinisterly, “Number one heavenly pride? Self-proclaimed, right? So what if he’s number one?! I’ve heard of the Great Flame Empire. It’s nothing special, they can only show off in the Eastern Wasteland. Can it compare to the Central Continent? What right does he have to compare to a true heavenly pride like Brother Sword?”

Fatty glanced at him. “Where did this filial son and devoted grandson come from? Get lost! The Wu family will just have to wait. Soon, I will lead my army to annihilate you!”

Wu Guang and his son seemed grim, but didn’t dare say another word. Given the Wu family’s situation, they really couldn’t withstand an assault from the Fu family.

Sword Prince only looked at Gu Han. “What? You call yourself a sword cultivator despite being too afraid to draw your sword?”

Fang Xing’s eyes lit up. “Good! You’re worthy of being the auspicious child of the Fang family!”

Fatty glared at Gu Han. “Say something! They’re stepping all over you. Can you stand it? If you won’t take him on, I will do it myself!”

“Let me.” Gu Han narrowed his eyes slightly. His gaze swept over the crowd as his long robe moved without wind. “With riffraff like these? You look down on the Eastern Wasteland? I’m not fit to hold a sword?”

As countless strands of fine sword intent swirled around him, a dark black sword appeared in his hand. He turned the tip, pointing it at the crowd. “Today, I question the sword of the Heavenly Pride of the Central Continent!”

He was calm, but his voice was like countless invisible swords, piercing straight into the hearts of the crowd.
