Chapter 4284

Mo Qingyun's eyes carried bone-deep hatred.

His inner state could not help but ripple.

After many years had passed.

He heard this term that made him hate to the marrow of his bones once again.

Back then, when he obtained the Sword of Proving Dao, he accidentally leaked his Qi and was surrounded and hunted down by various parties.

In fact, with the ability of the Qingyun Sword Emperor and the help of the Sword of Proving Dao's power.

Perhaps there really was a slim chance of escaping alive.

But in the end, it was precisely because top powerhouses of the Sword Clan took action that he was forced into a dead end.

He could only trigger a forbidden move to self-destruct.

If it weren't for the Sword Clan, perhaps he would still have had a way to live in his previous life.

Coupled with the fact that even earlier, he had wanted to join the Sword Clan but was humiliated, causing his Dao heart to almost collapse.

With various reasons superimposed.

One could imagine Mo Qingyun's hatred for the Sword Clan.

It could be said that any sword cultivator of the Sword Clan was a target for his revenge.

At this moment, upon hearing that Ye Guchen came from the Sword Clan.

Coldness surged in Mo Qingyun's eyes.

Although he hid it extremely well.

Mo Mingyuan and Mo Xuanfei beside him did not notice it.

But on the other side, Ye Guchen's sword-like eyebrows twitched slightly.

As if there was some faint sensing, his gaze suddenly looked toward the Protector Sword Emperor Mansion.

"Brother Ye..."

Jun Xiaoyao's gaze also followed Ye Guchen's eyes.

And then he saw Mo Qingyun.

A hint of strangeness flashed in his eyes.

"Brother Ye, what is wrong?"

"I felt a trace of faint killing intent," Ye Guchen transmitted his voice.

"Killing intent?"

Jun Xiaoyao was slightly surprised.

Mo Qingyun and Ye Guchen were complete strangers, so where would the killing intent come from?

No...

Jun Xiaoyao immediately thought that just now, the people around had pointed out Ye Guchen's identity as a member of the Sword Clan.

Could it be because of this?

What connection could this Mo Qingyun have with the Sword Clan?

Jun Xiaoyao pondered secretly in his heart.

It seemed that Mo Qingyun's background was not simple either.

However, the point about being related to the Sword Clan made Jun Xiaoyao think of the Human Sword Ancestor.

Could it be that the clue to the Human Sword Ancestor could be linked to this Mo Qingyun?

A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Jun Xiaoyao felt that the situation was becoming increasingly interesting.

No wonder the Bell of Destiny had reminded him to come to this place.

Seeing Jun Xiaoyao and Ye Guchen talking happily.

The gazes of the people present also dimmed.

"It seems this sword cultivator of the Sword Clan has a close relationship with Young Master Jun."

"If the two of them participate at the same time, who would be their opponent?"

"However, I heard that Young Master Jun is only here to observe the ceremony and will not enter the Sword Dao Illusionary Realm."

Some people were discussing.

If Jun Xiaoyao also entered the Sword Dao Illusionary Realm.

Then with Ye Guchen together, who could afford to provoke them?

It would completely end the competition, and there would not be the slightest suspense.

Jun Xiaoyao not participating made many people secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

At least their psychological pressure would not be that great.

"Alright, without further ado, the trial begins now!"

As Shen Hongyue's voice fell.

The many prodigies and monsters present also turned into rays of light one after another, escaping into the Sword Dao Illusionary Realm in the void.

"Young Master Jun, we will go first."

Shen Tianyu bowed slightly to Jun Xiaoyao.

They, as members of the imperial family, naturally also had to participate in the trial.

If they performed excellently, there would also be extra rewards.

"Brother Jun, I will also go and take a look," Ye Guchen said.

He would not miss any secret realm opportunity related to the sword, and he wanted to try it out.

It could be said that Ye Guchen was the purest sword cultivator Jun Xiaoyao had ever seen.

Ye Guchen also flew away through the air.

On the other side, Mo Mingyuan, Mo Xuanfei, Mo Qingyun, and other people from the Protector Sword Emperor Mansion also rose into the air.

Mo Qingyun's gaze first looked coldly at Ye Guchen.

Then, from the corner of his eye, he quietly looked at Jun Xiaoyao again, also carrying coldness.

Originally, because of the incident at the banquet.

He was extremely unhappy with Jun Xiaoyao.

Now, after seeing Jun Xiaoyao on good terms with the person from the Sword Clan and talking happily.

He felt even more coldness toward Jun Xiaoyao.

However, he would not underestimate the people of the Jun Clan.

Therefore, before truly obtaining the inheritance of the Human Sword Ancestor.

He would try his best to endure and not let himself have a major conflict with Jun Xiaoyao.

Of course, this time in the Sword Dao Illusionary Realm, he had to reveal some means and expose part of his strength.

Otherwise, he would not be able to take first place and enter the dynasty's secret treasury.

As time passed, many sword cultivators also plunged into the Sword Dao Illusionary Realm one after another, unfolding various fighting trials.

On this side, people from the Sword Dynasty's imperial family brought out a crystal-clear ancient mirror.

The ancient mirror had vast law auras flowing, permeating brilliance, and shedding thousands of divine glows.

On the mirror surface, brilliant radiance reflected the void.

That piece of void also revealed many scenes within the Sword Dao Illusionary Realm.

Here, the gazes of various princes, nobles, and elders of major forces and sects all fell upon the reflected scenes.

They wanted to witness what kind of performance their disciples and descendants could have in there.

"Hehe... It is a pity that Young Master Jun did not participate; otherwise, this first place would have no suspense at all."

Shen Hongyue walked to Jun Xiaoyao's side and said with a smile.

Although this trial was mostly for prodigies of the middle-young generation.

But in his view, Jun Xiaoyao's generation was also definitely very young.

If he participated, no one could say anything.

Jun Xiaoyao replied indifferently, "This is an opportunity belonging to sword cultivators. Since I am not a sword cultivator, I will not occupy a spot."

"Then who does Young Master Jun think has the chance to take the crown this time?" Shen Hongyue said.

Jun Xiaoyao did not use any polite phrases but said directly, "My good friend Ye Guchen, who comes from the Sword Clan, has the most possibility."

Upon hearing this, Shen Hongyue nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, the reputation of this sword cultivator in black has been quite loud in the Taiyao Tianhe recently."

"If it weren't for the fact that he comes from the Sword Clan, I would have wanted to pull him into our Sword Dynasty."

If such a prodigy sword cultivator joined the Sword Dynasty, it would undoubtedly extend the Sword Dynasty's national fortune.

"My good friend has always been a lone wolf. Although he comes from the Sword Clan, he is actually distant, and even the Sword Clan cannot restrain him."

Jun Xiaoyao said, then continued, "However, the Sword Dynasty is not lacking in talent either."

"Perhaps someone can trade blows with Ye Guchen."

"Oh, who is that?" Shen Hongyue said.

"The descendant of the Protector Sword Emperor," Jun Xiaoyao said.

"Mo Mingyuan or Mo Xuanfei?"

Jun Xiaoyao shook his head slightly: "Mo Qingyun."

As soon as these words were spoken, a flash of surprise crossed the faces of the people around.

Mo Qingyun?

How could he have the ability to trade blows with a peerless prodigy from the Sword Clan?

"Why does Young Master Jun say that?"

Shen Hongyue was also a bit surprised.

Jun Xiaoyao just smiled slightly and did not say much more.

This actually aroused a hint of interest in everyone.

They felt that Jun Xiaoyao's words were unbelievable.

But they also felt a hint of curiosity.

Their gazes were also fixed on the projection reflected in the void.

Within the Sword Dao Illusionary Realm, there were many opportunities related to the sword.

Of course, the competition was also extremely intense.

Even these observers could feel the various roaring sounds coming from the Sword Dao Illusionary Realm.

Various sword intent fluctuations swept and permeated, washing out.

"There are actually imprints left behind by some powerful Sword Emperors of the past in there."

Some people's gazes were surprised.

In the reflected scenes.

One could see that within the Sword Dao Illusionary Realm, illusory and blurred figures emerged.

Holding divine swords, their sword intent was heaven-shocking.

The prodigies and monsters who entered the Sword Dao Illusionary Realm first had to face the most demanding hurdle.
