Chapter 273

The expression on Zuo Lengchan's face was extremely overbearing.

He did not hold the others in the Five Mountains Sword Sect in any regard at all.

Even Yue Lingshan and Yilin, who had ascended the Heaven's Pride List and already become Grandmasters, were nothing but worthless curs in Zuo Lengchan's eyes.

He was, after all, a veteran powerhouse at the Grandmaster level.

His realm was inherently higher than that of Yue Lingshan and Yilin.

Coupled with the secret assistance he had now obtained from the Iron-Gall Divine Marquis, Zhu Wushi.

Zuo Lengchan felt even more confident in winning this duel and becoming the first Alliance Master after the merger of the Five Mountains Sword Sect.

The people from the other four sects all looked at each other, and for a long time, no one dared to step forward.

Seeing this, the disciples of the Mount Song Sword Sect all wore expressions of disdain.

With the current strength of the Mount Song Sword Sect, it was no exaggeration to say they could crush the other four sects.

The gap between them was not just a little bit.

However, the situations of the four major sects were also somewhat different.

Master Mo Da of the Mount Heng Sword Sect had an air of indifference, as if nothing concerned him and it had nothing to do with him.

Daoist Tianmen of the Mount Tai Sword Sect, on the other hand, was full of indignation.

Yet, he dared not step forward.

Because the gap between his strength and Zuo Lengchan's was simply too great.

Zuo Lengchan was a Grandmaster, while Daoist Tianmen was only a Master.

There was simply no way to contend with him.

Ning Zhongze of the Mount Hua Sword Sect and Abbess Dingyi of the Mount Heng Sword Sect were both lost in thought.

Ning Zhongze was considering things for her daughter.

Abbess Dingyi was thinking carefully for her disciple, Yilin.

What the two of them were thinking was actually the same: whether they could defeat Zuo Lengchan.

For a time, after Zuo Lengchan finished speaking, there was no sound for a long while.

Seeing this, Linghu Chong became interested.

He thought that his martial aunt, his junior sister, and the others had all come to an understanding.

They felt that such infighting within the Five Mountains Sword Sect would only benefit the enemies of the Great Ming and the demonic Sun Moon Divine Cult for nothing.

Everything should be based on harmony!

Just as Linghu Chong was about to step forward to say a few words.

Zuo Lengchan spoke again, "Niece Yue, you once swore that you would fight my Mount Song Sword Sect to the death."

"You even specifically set today's duel to decide the first Alliance Master after the merger of the Five Mountains Sword Sect."

"Why are you silent today?"

"Could it be that you want to go back on your word?"

Zuo Lengchan began to use a goading tactic to force Yue Lingshan.

Although he looked down on these two yellow-haired girls, Yue Lingshan and Yilin, from the bottom of his heart.

Zuo Lengchan knew that when facing any enemy, one must never be the slightest bit contemptuous, and one must never show mercy when striking.

He had long since prepared to use thunderous means the moment the duel began.

He sought to finish off Yue Lingshan in the shortest possible time.

And then deal with Yilin.

In this way, the two people who posed the greatest threat to him in the Five Mountains Sword Sect could be eradicated.

By then, the remaining people would be left to his mercy.

"Niece Yue, what's wrong?"

"Are you afraid?"

"Your attitude was very firm at the beginning."

"I, Ding, still remember how you looked that day."

"Your behavior today is a bit too inconsistent with who you were then."

Ding Mian also immediately began to goad Yue Lingshan.

As the second-in-command of the Mount Song Sword Sect, he naturally knew his senior brother Zuo Lengchan's ideas and plans.

He also knew that once the Five Mountains Sword Sect merged and his senior brother became the first Alliance Master, it would be of huge benefit to the Mount Song Sword Sect.

Once the Mount Song Sword Sect grew to a certain extent.

Even completely annexing the other four sects and making the Mount Song Sword Sect one of the top-tier, or even peak, sects in the Nine Provinces would be a feasible matter.

Zuo Lengchan's ambition was extremely vast.

He had never been willing to live under others, nor was he willing to let the Mount Song Sword Sect remain within the small scope of the Five Mountains Sword Sect.

He wanted to lead the Mount Song Sword Sect toward glory, to grow and become stronger!

Linghu Chong was somewhat worried upon hearing this; he was truly afraid that his junior sister would really step forward after being goaded like this.

Once the two sides began to duel, there would inevitably be casualties on one side.

Moreover, given the current relationship between the Mount Hua Sword Sect and the Mount Song Sword Sect, once they really started to duel, it would certainly result in one side bleeding on the spot.

He had to think of a way to prevent this from happening.

Ning Zhongze also looked at Yue Lingshan with some worry.

Although Yue Lingshan had said at the beginning that she was confident.

But when things truly reached this point, Ning Zhongze's heart was still very worried.

"Lingshan!"

Ning Zhongze held Yue Lingshan's hand and called out with great concern.

"Mother, don't worry."

"I'll be back in a moment."

Yue Lingshan smiled and patted Ning Zhongze's hand to comfort her.

Having said that, Yue Lingshan walked out holding her sword.

"I'm here!"

Yue Lingshan said coldly.

Standing straight in place, the sunlight shone on her face.

A piercing sword intent erupted from her eyes.

At this moment, she was like a sharp, unsheathed precious sword.

She feared no one and feared nothing.

Anyone who dared to stand in her way would be cut down by her.

A terrifying sword intent appeared around her body in an instant and began to rotate rapidly.

Seeing this, Zuo Lengchan was somewhat surprised.

He had indeed heard that Yue Lingshan had learned a very powerful sword technique.

However, before today, Zuo Lengchan had felt that even if it were truly powerful, it certainly wouldn't be that strong.

But now, having seen it with his own eyes and felt it himself.

Zuo Lengchan truly realized.

How terrifying this sword technique was!

A sense of greed rose in Zuo Lengchan's heart.

He looked at Yue Lingshan with eyes full of desire.

He believed that as long as he learned this sword technique, one day in the future, he would definitely be able to ascend to become an Earth Immortal.

Master Mo Da narrowed his eyes slightly.

He did not remember the Mount Hua Sword Sect having such a powerful sword technique.

Moreover, ever since the conflict between the sword and qi schools of the Mount Hua Sword Sect, the Sword Sect had been extinct in the Mount Hua Sword Sect, and the Mount Hua Sword Sect had always been dominated by the Qi Sect.

Therefore, Master Mo Da felt very strange in his heart.

And even more surprised.

Even though he had not seen Yue Lingshan unleash it.
