Legend of Swordsman

4489 Watch Him Rise From the Top

Jiu Sha landed beside Jian Wushuang in one step, her chest rising and falling slightly.

She was wearing a tight-fitting red veil and a phoenix coronet on her head, which made her curvaceous figure even more charming.

“Junior Brother Wushuang, you’re finally willing to come out of seclusion?”

Jiu Sha laughed as she looked at Jian Wushuang from head to toe. Then, her heart suddenly jumped and her eyes gradually revealed a look of surprise.

“Wushuang, you’ve broken through to 8-Star?!”

“Yes, I was just lucky.” Jian Wushuang smiled at her.

“That’s amazing. No wonder you didn’t participate in this year’s Sect Disciple Competition. You must have been conserving your energy to break through to the next cultivation realm.”

Jiu Sha stretched out her pink fist and punched Jian Wushuang’s chest lightly as she laughed mischievously.

“Hehe, let’s not talk about this. Senior Sister Jiu Sha, looking at your outfit, are you going to get married?” Jian Wushuang changed the topic.

As soon as these words fell, Jiu Sha’s pretty face, which was still in high spirits, suddenly fell. She sighed and said, “That’s right, Lord Sect Master has already made the decision to betroth me to someone else and become a Dao Companion.”

“Oh? Who is so blessed to be able to marry Senior Sister Jiu Sha?” Jian Wushuang raised his eyebrows and said.

Upon hearing this, Jiu Sha did not reply. Instead, she raised her head and looked at the Sect Master’s hall in the distance. She said in a daze, “You should have heard of this person before. He is the son of Elder Shen Lian and also the head disciple of the current Sect Master’s faction, Yan Dan. He was the one who personally proposed to the Sect Master to become my Dao Companion.”

When Jiu Sha said this, her expression was lonely, as if she was unwilling in her heart.

“Yan Dan?”

Jian Wushuang frowned. He had never heard of this person. However, just his identity as the son of Elder Shen Lian made Jian Wushuang slightly unhappy.

“This Yan Dan is the son of the Elder Shen Lian. He’s also the Sect Master’s head disciple and the champion of the Sect Disciple Competition. He has an amazing background and is extremely talented. He has all the glory in the world. You should be happy that you can become Dao Companions with him. Why do you look so sad? Don’t you like it?”

Jian Wushuang shook his head and asked casually.

“Yes.” Jiu Sha nodded and replied, “But Yan Dan is too arrogant. He doesn’t respect anyone. He also likes to form cliques and gangs. His style of doing things is domineering and overbearing. I… I really don’t like him.”

After Jiu Sha finished speaking with a long sigh, her eyes were immediately filled with sadness.

In this world where strength was everything, if one had weak strength and no talent, no matter how good-looking one was, one would just be a chess piece controlled by others.

She looked at Jian Wushuang and suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind.

“Wushuang! I have an idea!”

Her beautiful eyes lit up and she immediately grabbed Jian Wushuang’s arm. She said excitedly, “Wushuang, can you help me just this once? With your talent, you’re not inferior to Yan Dan at all, and you also have the care of Grand Elder Mi Feng. As long as you say during the banquet that we’ve already pledged to be married, I believe that the Sect Master will definitely not make things difficult for me after some consideration. What do you think?”

“Hmm?” Jian Wushuang frowned and was about to refuse.

What a joke. He was a spy in the God Refining Sect. What was the point of starting a family here?

Moreover, Leng Rushuang was the only person in his heart from the beginning. He would not be able to hold anyone else.

As if she had seen Jian Wushuang’s refusal, Jiu Sha quickly said, “Junior Brother Wushuang, what I said just now was naturally not for you and your Senior Sister to privately pledge to marry each other, but to deal with the Lord Sect Master. After this matter is over, I will definitely not pester you. You can rest assured.”

“No.” Jian Wushuang shook his head. Although his tone was neither warm nor angry, it was filled with an unquestionable tone. “Don’t mention this matter again.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jian Wushuang no longer cared about her. He took a step forward and suddenly, there was an explosion in the void as he rushed toward the Sect Master’s Hall.

“You…” Jiu Sha looked at Jian Wushuang’s back as if he was running away. She could not help but be stunned. Then, her pretty face was filled with shame and anger.

She first looked down at her proud twin peaks, then looked at her pair of white and straight long legs, and stomped her feet in anger.

“Dumbo!”

…

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

Jian Wushuang took a step forward and crossed a hundred thousand feet.

The land and rivers of the God Refining Sect seemed to have shrunk under his feet.

Soon, Jian Wushuang arrived at the Sect Master’s hall.

Outside the Sect Master’s main hall, there was a square that was a hundred miles in size.

The banquet was held in this square.

At this moment, the originally spacious square was filled with disciples of the God Refining Sect. Everyone had taken their seats.

Seeing Jian Wushuang’s arrival, many disciples of the God Refining Sect fixed their eyes on him and their pupils shrank.

“Wushuang is here!”

“You’re finally willing to show yourself?”

“The black-robed man behind Wushuang should be his divine corpse, right? It doesn’t look like much.”

“Wait! Look, Wushuang seems to have broken through to an 8-Star!”

“8-Star? Hiss! How was that possible? I heard that he was only a 4-Star when he entered the sect.”

“I’m afraid Wushuang didn’t participate in the competition not because he was afraid of losing his reputation, but because he was in a hurry to break through!”

Whispers could be heard.

“Wushuang, come to this seat.”

Elder Mi Feng, who was at the front of the square, noticed Jian Wushuang and immediately waved at him with a smile.

“Yes.” Jian Wushuang nodded and strode toward Elder Mi Feng.

“Eh? 8-Star? Not bad, not bad. You’re indeed a person with exceptional talent. This kind of breakthrough speed is simply unheard of.”

Elder Mi Feng clapped his hands and smiled.

There were four other Grand Elders beside Elder Mi Feng.

Jian Wushuang had met the Grand Elder in the Sect Master’s hall before. Hence, he was no stranger to him and greeted them one by one.

Behind the four Grand Elders, Hei Chi, Nu Xiong, and the other head disciples also stood behind him.

Hei Chi, Zhengheng, and the others sized up Jian Wushuang. They were slightly surprised, but they did not show it on their faces.

He was only an 8-Star and had just started at the same starting line as them.

Only Nu Xiong’s pupils shrunk and a chill rose in his heart.

For some reason, he could keenly feel that Jian Wushuang’s pressure and threat had become even stronger!

The previous Jian Wushuang was like a mist that he could not see through. The current Jian Wushuang was like a Lightning Tribulation that was hiding behind thick dark clouds. It was powerful but did not release. Once it made a move, it would definitely be earth-shattering!

Nu Xiong could not help but lower his head. He was even more afraid of Jian Wushuang.

“Let the banquet… Begin!”

With a loud declaration, the Sect Master of the God Refining Sect, Void Master Ba Huang, slowly walked out of the master’s hall.

Beside him, Yan Dan was not following closely. His expression was filled with respect as he followed behind.

Thus, the banquet officially began.
