Chapter 3123

As for those sword cultivators who had rushed over from all corners of the Immortal Realm, the Dao One Immortal Sect had naturally already made preparations.

Depending on their status and strength, they were assigned accommodations of different grades.

For those ordinary sword cultivators, it was naturally just a simple courtyard, after all there were too many people, and the Dong Fu were certainly not enough.

As for those renowned sword cultivator experts, their Dong Fu would certainly be much better.

Besides that, the Dao One Immortal Sect treated everyone equally, with no special treatment for many disciples, and everyone got along harmoniously.

Because this Sword Immortal Assembly had no cultivation threshold set, many people signed up to participate.

If there were any requirement at all, it would just be the registration fee.

If one couldn't even afford the registration fee, there really was no point in participating.

As for this Sword Immortal Assembly, the rules were also simple: besides not being allowed to use any means other than sword techniques, and not being allowed to harm others' lives, there were no other restrictions.

In other words, this Sword Immortal Assembly was very likely to see a situation where cultivation levels would overwhelm others.

However, this isn't strange at all, after all the original intention of this Sword Cultivator Assembly was to determine the First Sword Immortal of the Immortal Realm, so cultivation level naturally factors in.

It's not like a Sect Grand Competition where fairness is emphasized, and there's no time to divide groups by cultivation level.

So actually, although this Sword Immortal Assembly hasn't started yet, the eventual champion is basically just a few people, and everyone knows it in their hearts.

As for the younger generation's Sword Cultivator Heavenly Pride, they mostly came just to experience the atmosphere of the assembly.

At the same time, if anyone puts on an outstanding performance during the assembly, they will certainly reap benefits, with various rewards likewise abundant.

Hong Zun and Qi Xiong have been busy these past few days receiving the many sword cultivator experts who have come.

Well, inside the Sect Main Hall, over a dozen people were sipping Immortal Tea while chatting casually, and there were many familiar faces among them.

For example, Tianhe and Zhao Tianqing were both present, along with several Heavenly Officials from the Heavenly Palace.

Tianhe and Zhao Tianqing were both there, and even Yue Linxian, who was originally supposed to come this time.

Just because someone understands sword techniques doesn't mean they can't be considered a sword cultivator.

In the end, they were still stopped by Zhao Tianqing and his companion.

Yue Linxian certainly understands sword techniques, but at their level, they naturally have experience in all aspects.

Understanding sword techniques doesn't mean one has mastered them, and besides, Yue Linxian's forte isn't sword techniques; he rarely displays them in battle.

And yet he still comes here to stir up trouble.

As everyone chatted idly, Qi Xiong laughed and said.

The participants of the assembly over the past few days have all gathered; our Dao One Immortal Sect has arranged a banquet tonight, and we hope everyone will grace us with their presence—let's drink until we're satisfied.

Upon hearing this, everyone present naturally had their eyes light up.

That's exactly what we've been waiting for—finally we get to eat Ye Zhangqing's cooking again.

Those present naturally nodded repeatedly—who in their right mind would refuse a banquet at the Dao One Immortal Sect's canteen?

Not only those present, but anyone who participated in the Sword Immortal Assembly is eligible to attend tonight's banquet.

Just for this banquet, as expected, the canteen is closed for the day, and disciples from other halls of the sect have no way to get a meal.

Regarding this, many disciples both expected it and yet felt uneasy for a moment.

It's just letting those Divine Sword Hall folks pick up a freebie.

Especially those ordinary disciples of the Divine Sword Hall—they just tagged along and got a meal, even taking seats; just thinking about it makes one jealous.

This is both fearing that brothers won't get to eat and fearing they'll eat too much.

As time slowly approached mealtime, outside the canteen there was already a steady flow of people coming and going.

Disciples of the Divine Sword Peak, sword cultivators who had rushed in from all over—each one was filled with excitement.

Especially those sword cultivators who came from a background of loose cultivators with no backing—they were so excited they could hardly speak coherently.

In the past, if they wanted to eat this meal, they would have had to put in tremendous effort; now they just need to sign up for the Sword Immortal Assembly and they can eat it directly.

Moreover, it's not just dry rations—it's a proper banquet, something that money can't buy outside.

Among the crowd, Zhao Zhengping, Liu Shuang, Xu Jie, Lu Youyou, and Wang Yao, along with their fellow senior brothers, walked over chatting and laughing.

Although they often get to eat Ye Zhangqing's cooking, who would complain about having too much?

Besides, this Sword Cultivator Assembly is a grand gathering for sword cultivators, and this time it has really given the Divine Sword Hall a huge boost in prestige.

As inner disciples of the Divine Sword Hall, how could those few not be happy?

But as they walked, they overheard a few sword cultivators nearby chatting.

My goodness, today I finally got to see Wang Tieshu—he looks like a gorilla.

Who says otherwise? If you ask me, Hong Zun really has a strong palate—he can even stomach this.

Haha, I've heard some rumors before, but seeing it with my own eyes this time truly leaves me in awe.

As they were discussing Wang Tieshu, hearing that, Zhao Zhengping's face darkened and he immediately wanted to shout a rebuke.

It's utterly reckless.

Never mind how the master and his madam are; that's their own affair, and even if they eventually go their separate ways, it's hardly something outsiders like you can casually comment on.

But just as he was about to speak, Xu Jie from the side stopped him; seeing this, Zhao Zhengping turned his head, glared angrily, and gritted his teeth.

"What are you pulling me for?"

"Senior Brother, calm down; what's the use of speaking now? At most we'll just end up in a big argument."

"Xu Jie sent a mental transmission; upon hearing it, Zhao Zhengping gritted his teeth."

"Then what do you suggest? Are we just supposed to listen to this bunch of bastards badmouthing our master and his madam?"

"How could that be? As a junior brother, I have my own way."

How could that be? The junior brother has his own way.

It sounded like they heard Zhao Zhengping's voice; a few people turned around and clearly recognized Xu Jie and his companions.

His words cut off suddenly, and he wore an embarrassed look.

Logically, these few people are all older than Zhao Zhengping, Xu Jie and them, and their cultivation surpasses that of Xu Jie and them.

It's just that this is, after all, on the territory of Dao One Immortal Sect; what they just said was indeed somewhat inappropriate.

Most importantly, they schemed against someone's Shīzūn, and were even overheard by that person's Inner Disciple; this matter is indeed embarrassing.

Wanting to leave quickly, seeing this, Xu Jie did not stop them, merely gazing darkly at the few people.

Immediately pulling Zhao Zhengping and the others, they came to the edge of the crowd, slowly opening his palm, and his tree companion appeared in his hand.

All that was heard was Xu Jie's cold laugh as he spoke.

"Did those few people just see that?"

Upon hearing this, the Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts in his palm lightly trembled their branches as a response.

"Find a chance to take them down, bring them to a deserted place and give them a good lesson; tonight I'll give you an extra meal."

Seeing this, Zhao Zhengping and the others were stunned—"You kid, are you that ruthless?"

Zhao Zhengping just wanted to go up and reason with them, but you directly went and dealt with them?
