Chapter 2693: The Demeanor of the Female Sword Saint
Su Yang rushed to the scene, where quite a few people had already gathered.
Ye Wantong had not yet emerged, but her presence was already so immense that it attracted countless onlookers.
Su Yang observed clearly, noticing many among the crowd who had previously come looking for him.
For instance, the Immortal Venerable and the Nine-headed Demon Yuan were both observing from a distance.
Especially the Immortal Venerable, whose expression seemed peculiar, as if somewhat unsatisfied.
Su Yang frowned; this Immortal Venerable was by no means a virtuous being. Based on information Su Yang had gathered, this person had quite a history with the Female Sword Saint. Seeing this spectacle, does he remain unconvinced that Ye Wantong received the Female Sword Saint’s inheritance and cultivated to such a level?
"Be careful of the Immortal Venerable!" Su Yang whispered to Jiang Zi’er by his side.
Jiang Zi’er nodded; she had been the one to tell Su Yang about these ancient events. So, as soon as she arrived, she kept an eye on the Immortal Venerable.
"No need for us to worry..." Jiang Zi’er suddenly remarked, "Look over there."
Su Yang followed Jiang Zi’er’s pointing direction and saw a solitary throne suspended in the darkness of the distant sky. The throne was empty, but everyone understood its profound significance.
Eternal Divine Emperor!
A being of the same era as the Immortal Venerable, and currently one of the three leaders among the Ancient Heavenly Warriors.
Seeing the Eternal Divine Emperor, Su Yang felt somewhat reassured.
Though Su Yang didn’t know much about the Eternal Divine Emperor, he was clear that the Female Sword Saint had saved him back then. These Ancient Heavenly Warriors, despite their rivalries, were people of emotion and principle. With the Eternal Divine Emperor present, he surely wouldn’t sit by and let the Immortal Venerable act against the Female Sword Saint’s successor!
Even so, Su Yang dared not underestimate the situation. Ye Wantong was about to emerge, and if someone were to launch a sneak attack at this moment, it would indeed be troublesome.
Silently, he concentrated his illusions, ready to summon them at any time to respond to the current situation.
Above the Heavenly Sect, a giant sword continuously gathered, the formidable Sword Qi swept across, forcing those Heavenly Warriors around to step back.
"The Sword Qi of this woman is not much lesser than that of the former Female Sword Saint!"
"Indeed, it’s unexpected that anyone could fully inherit the Female Sword Saint’s legacy. There’s even a hint of surpassing the master!"
"The Female Sword Saint has a successor, haha, this is something that brings joy to some, and worry to others!"
"Look at the Immortal Venerable’s expression, hahaha, like he swallowed a dead fly..."
The crowd whispered among themselves, most discussing the Immortal Venerable. After all, everyone knew about the grudges between the Immortal Venerable and the Female Sword Saint during the Ancient Times.
Listening to the murmurs around him, the Immortal Venerable’s face grew even darker. He stared at the longsword in the sky, brow furrowed, wanting to step forward several times. However, the solitary throne in the distance exuded waves of hostility, preventing him from making a rash move.
The Eternal Divine Emperor, one of the outstanding figures among the Ancient Heavenly Warriors. Although the Immortal Venerable was arrogant, he was reluctant to provoke such a presence.
After a long silence, the Immortal Venerable ultimately chose to give up.
The Sword Qi atop the giant sword reached its peak and finally retracted into the giant sword. The sword transformed into a three-foot-long azure blade, the sharpness of the Sword Qi converged instantaneously.
However, this three-foot azure blade was not to be underestimated by anyone.
Such powerful Sword Qi condensed into a small sword; its potency was evident to all.
"Roar!" A loud roar, and the Heavenly Sect trembled.
Immediately, a gray Little Bear appeared above the Heavenly Sect. It landed on all fours, roaring, its body rapidly enlarging to tens of thousands of feet, mighty and majestic.
"Earth Bear!? Didn’t it perish in battle too?"
"This is not the Female Sword Saint’s Earth Bear, but it seems to have inherited the Earth Bear’s power!"
"Oh my, is the glory of the Female Sword Saint truly about to be revived?"
"Who knows, let’s wait and see; there are others more anxious than we are!"
In the distance, upon witnessing this, the Immortal Venerable’s face turned ashen. He clenched his teeth and stepped forward, ready to make a move.
At that very moment, the solitary throne also floated closer to him. Upon the throne, a faint figure appeared. Reclining upon it, the face indistinct, yet exuding immense pressure.
Feeling the pressure, the Immortal Venerable turned his head in anger for a moment, but the throne did not retreat, facing him from afar.
Ultimately, gritting his teeth, the Immortal Venerable released his grip.
In the presence of the Eternal Divine Emperor, he couldn’t harm Ye Wantong; why create such an adversary?
The Earth Bear leaped through the air and held the three-foot azure blade in its embrace, then quickly shrank, transforming into a one-foot-long Little Bear, round and pudgy, adorably clumsy.
The Little Bear, clutching the three-foot azure blade, landed atop the Heavenly Sect. Just then, a white figure shot upwards from within the Heavenly Sect, catching the falling Little Bear.
A stunning beauty appeared, untouched by worldly dust. She walked slowly out of the Heavenly Sect, holding the Little Bear, with her longsword circling around her.
Witnessing this scene, the Ancient Heavenly Warriors wore expressions of nostalgia, unable to help but remember the breathtaking Female Sword Saint.
This scene, how it resembled the Ancient Times!
The Immortal Venerable gritted his teeth, as if seeing the Female Sword Saint of the past.
The throne had now descended beside him, and the illusion on it stood up, hands behind its back, standing just beside him.
The Immortal Venerable glared at the illusion with rage, ultimately turning and leaving.
Watching the Immortal Venerable depart, the illusion glanced deeply at Ye Wantong, then returned to the throne, likewise vanishing into the horizon.
Su Yang observed all these events, having been fully alert. Seeing the Immortal Venerable leave, he too sighed with relief.
Ye Wantong emerged from the Heavenly Sect, ignoring the crowd, and rushed directly to Su Yang, tightly embracing him.
Many onlookers were taken aback. Was this still the once icy, indifferent Female Sword Saint?
Su Yang too felt a surge of emotion, holding his wife tightly. After years of separation, after numerous life-and-death instances, he thought he’d lost the chance to see her again. To reunite today, the excitement he felt was indescribable!
Jiang Zi’er stood nearby, witnessing the scene with a faint bitter smile. She deeply inhaled, ultimately choosing to say nothing.
She knew that in matters of affection with Su Yang, she wouldn’t rank in the top three. Her only wish was to remain by Su Yang’s side, and that was enough for her!
