Chapter 789: Events of All Sides

"Besides all this, the Medicine King Valley also said that if any faction dares to secretly harbor Yan Chen, then they shall be considered an enemy of theirs, to the death, with no end to the feud!"

Once these words were spoken, the many cultivators inside the inn could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.

"Tsk tsk, given the Medicine King Valley's dominance and connections, looking across Moonlight, which faction would choose to risk offending the Medicine King Valley in order to shelter Yan Chen?"

"In my view, this Yan Chen is probably done for."

"Heh, a youth full of vigor and ambition ultimately does not understand how to rein in his edge; the act of killing Zhou Yan was truly unwise. Now, there is no way to turn things around, and death is imminent!"

Just as everyone was still immersed in heated discussion, and quite a few were expressing regret that Yan Chen was about to perish.

Within the crowd, a person suddenly said in a deep voice: "From the very moment the Medicine King Valley issued the wanted notice, this Yan Chen was already on a dead-end road! No matter how peerless his talent, he is nothing more than a dead man; there is no need to keep talking about him."

"On the contrary, that Sky Sword Sect is the true target we currently need to pay attention to!"

Once the words fell.

The whole place first fell silent for a moment.

But very quickly, someone retorted: "The Sky Sword Sect has been dormant for several hundred years, and during that time there has never been any major movement. What you speak of now, fellow daoist—could it be that the Sky Sword Ancestor has broken through the shackles of Heaven and Man, and successfully reached the realm of Saints?"

"But that is not right either. If it were truly so, then given the might of a Saint Tribulation, it would surely have spread across all of Moonlight; how could we not have known?"

"Or is it that the current Sect Master of Sky Sword Sect, the Star-Plucking Sword King, has had the fortune to advance to Heaven-Man and stand among the absolute pinnacle?"

Once the words rang out, they instantly drew everyone's gaze.

One must know that although the Sky Sword Sect has been dormant for several hundred years, its fame and strength still cause many cultivators to be deeply wary!

In terms of its strength and foundation, it is even above Heaven-Man-level factions like the Medicine King Valley and the Mystic Dan Sect!

Therefore, upon hearing news about the Sky Sword Sect, they would be so moved and unable to remain calm.

And at this moment, listening to everyone's questions.

The cultivator who had spoken earlier smiled and said unhurriedly: "It is not so. What I wish to speak of has nothing to do with these matters."

"From what I know, several months ago, a little Martial Ancestor of no more than twenty years of age was born within the Sky Sword Sect!"

"Her talent is so strong it can be called rare in all the world! The moment she entered the sect, she alarmed the Sky Sword Ancestor, who had been in closed-door cultivation for many years. He broke precedent and took her as a disciple, making her senior and junior martial siblings with the Star-Plucking Sword King, and she leapt up to become the Martial Ancestor of countless disciples!"

Hearing this, many cultivators were filled with astonishment.

Among them, there were quite a few who had grown up listening to legends of the Sky Sword Ancestor.

Such a legendary figure would suddenly appear in person and take a young girl as a disciple.

The deeper meaning within is truly unimaginable.

"Who exactly is that person?"

"Strange—if it was several months ago, why have we never heard of it until now, that the Sky Sword Sect produced such a figure?"

"What is this girl's aptitude? What is her sword Dao cultivation base? How could she alarm the Sky Sword Ancestor?!"

In an instant, the scene became exceptionally noisy, as many cultivators spoke out one after another with the doubts in their hearts!

Seeing this, the cultivator who had spoken said softly: "Quiet."

As the voice fell.

A wave of dense oppressive might swept out, causing everyone to startle in fright!

Only because the person before them was a genuine Sun Wheel realm cultivator!

And at this moment, the Sun Wheel cultivator basked in everyone's gazes.

Seeing that the scene had finally quieted down.

He then said unhurriedly: "From what I have learned, that person's name is: Jiang Zhiwei."

"Her sword Dao aptitude is outstanding; not yet twenty, she has already grasped Sword Spirit and stands among the Sword Kings.

"Within the Sky Sword Sect, besides being called the little Martial Ancestor, she is also called..... the White Rainbow Sword King!"

What? A Sword King-level powerhouse not yet twenty years of age?!

In an instant, the many cultivators present all widened their eyes, faces showing stunned expressions!

They finally understood why she could be taken as a disciple by the Sky Sword Ancestor as an exception.

With such heaven-defying sword Dao aptitude, no matter how vast the world or how many factions, where could she not go?

No matter how one looked at it, such an absolute monster would be a hot commodity anywhere, in any sect!

Thinking of this, some sect disciples in the crowd could not help but begin to envy the Sky Sword Sect's good fortune.

They had never imagined that the long-dormant Sky Sword Sect, upon emerging, would bring such a tremendous surprise to the world!

One must know that a figure like this is absolutely enough to become a sect's inheritor, laying the foundation for ten thousand generations—an unmatched figure!

Perhaps the next era of Moonlight's sword Dao world will be led by her; it is not impossible.

Or even more terrifyingly, with her unbelievable rate of progress, she might achieve something in this very era; it is hard to say!

Just as everyone was still deeply mired in shock and unable to extricate themselves for a long time.

They only heard the Sun Wheel cultivator's voice rise once more:

"As for what you all said, why in these past months we have never heard of her name—that is hardly strange, because even I only learned of it just yesterday."

"From the news I obtained, because Jiang Zhiwei alarmed the Sky Sword Ancestor the moment she first entered the Sky Sword Sect, and because her aptitude was heaven-defying, the Sky Sword Ancestor issued a gag order before everyone, commanding that no one reveal any information about this Jiang Zhiwei to outsiders."

"The Sky Sword Ancestor's command—which disciple would dare defy it?"

"Besides this, Jiang Zhiwei entered closed-door cultivation with the Sky Sword Ancestor for several months, and even within the sect she rarely appeared, let alone in the outside world. Taking all of this together, it led to the situation where, although Jiang Zhiwei's name was renowned within the sect for these months, it remained unknown to the outside world......"

Someone asked: "Then now?"

The Sun Wheel cultivator said, recalling as he spoke: "The reason I know of this matter is also because the Sky Sword Sect, as of yesterday, sent out challenge invitations to the many sword Dao factions within Moonlight. In two months, the Sky Sword Ancestor will personally lead Jiang Zhiwei to the headquarters of the various great factions, to let the younger generation compete and spar!"

"Heh, in order to establish an invincible sword heart and become the undisputed number one among the younger generation in one fell swoop! The Sky Sword Sect actually did not choose to descend suddenly and catch the various great factions off guard, but instead chose to release the news two months in advance, letting the various great factions prepare early."

"Such confidence is truly beyond the understanding of ordinary people........"

Upon hearing this, the entire scene once again fell into an uproar!

Many cultivators were all shocked by the Sky Sword Sect's confidence.

Asking a young girl to challenge the great sword Dao sects?

This seemingly certain-defeat, self-humiliating approach, however, becomes especially reasonable in light of the girl's Sword King realm.

Although the duel has not yet begun.

The crowd could already imagine it.

Every sword Dao faction within Moonlight Territory would likely be defeated by Jiang Zhiwei one by one.

When that time comes, those factions would surely lose face completely.

At that point, they'd have quite the show to watch.
