Chapter 14: Admiring his own master?

The ninth floor of the Ascension Pavilion.

Jiang Chen had just sat down when he saw someone walk up.

He was slightly surprised.

But after seeing the other person’s realm, he felt relieved.

Early stage of the Vajra Mortal Realm!

The first challenger today was actually a Vajra Mortal Realm expert; no wonder he could reach the ninth floor so quickly.

"Friend, I wonder which method you choose to challenge the pavilion?"

"Martial combat, of course!"

The man’s voice boomed within the ninth floor.

"Oh?"

Jiang Chen leaned forward slightly and looked at the man with a smile: "If you don’t mind, could you tell me why you want to challenge this Ascension Pavilion?"

Jiang Chen was indeed a bit surprised.

To enter the inner city of Snow Moon City.

One either had to hold an invitation from Snow Moon City or challenge the Ascension Pavilion.

And the martial artists who challenged the Ascension Pavilion were basically young people with decent aptitude.

Their goals.

Were nothing more than two things.

One was wanting to join Snow Moon City. ===== CHAPTER 31 =====

The second was wanting to become famous throughout the world by challenging the Ascension Pavilion.

However.

This middle-aged man in front of him looked to be nearly forty, yet his cultivation was only at the Vajra Mortal Realm; his aptitude was clearly average.

He basically had no chance of joining Snow Moon City.

As for becoming famous throughout the world.

That was even more impossible.

Unless the man had some special means, even if he passed the ninth floor, he would likely fail at the tenth.

Don’t let the fact that the guard on the tenth floor was only at the early stage of the Vajra Mortal Realm fool you.

But those who could be arranged to guard the Ascension Pavilion couldn’t be ordinary.

It could be said.

Starting from the tenth floor.

These guards were either one of the twenty-eight elders of Snow Moon City, or disciples of the three City Lords or these elders; they were either deeply skilled or had outstanding aptitude.

In short.

None of them were ordinary people.

Any one of them, if placed outside, could take on several opponents at once.

Just then.

The man’s voice sounded again.

"I have heard that the Second City Lord of Snow Moon City, the Snow Moon Sword Immortal, possesses the grace of a celestial being, and her 'Moonlight and Flower Morning' can fill the city with flying flowers; I have long admired her."

At this point.

He showed a look of helplessness: "However, I, Xu, have stayed in Fancheng for several days and haven’t even caught a glimpse of the Snow Moon Sword Immortal, and I truly couldn’t answer the young hero’s questions..."

Hearing this.

Jiang Chen understood.

The man was challenging the Ascension Pavilion just to enter the Immortal City and catch a glimpse of his master.

It was just that he had been stumped by his questions earlier.

Now that he had given these challengers another option.

The man had come up immediately.

Just that.

He wanted to see his master?

Did he ask her disciple first!

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the man: "Are you sure you choose martial combat?"

"Of course!"

The man nodded confidently and drew the long saber at his waist: "Young hero, please enlighten me!"

Jiang Chen nodded.

Seeing this.

The man didn’t hesitate, leaped up using light-body techniques, and slashed his long saber at Jiang Chen from a tricky angle; the blade cut through the air, making a dull, whistling sound.

However.

In Jiang Chen’s eyes, this confident move was like child’s play.

Jiang Chen didn’t even bother to stand up.

He extended a finger and tapped lightly on the table.

The next instant!

A brush flew out from the brush holder on the desk!

Controlling objects with Qi!

Unfettered Earth Realm!

The man’s eyes twitched; he hadn’t expected the guard of the ninth floor to be an Unfettered Earth Realm expert!

If he had known, he would never have chosen martial combat.

However—

Just as he thought Jiang Chen was an Unfettered Earth Realm expert.

Hum!

Within the ninth floor.

A vibrating hum suddenly sounded.

Immediately after.

The brush actually emitted a sword hum like a dragon’s roar!

This was sword intent!!

"You are Unfettered Heaven..."

His face changed drastically, and every hair on his body stood on end! He wanted to speak, but the next second, he was directly overwhelmed by the sword intent.

Boom!!

A terrifying aura swept through the entire ninth floor, and this was still under Jiang Chen’s deliberate control.

Otherwise.

The entire Ascension Pavilion would probably have collapsed.

As for the challenger, he was directly knocked out of the Ascension Pavilion by the brush.

Jiang Chen didn’t kill him.

He walked leisurely to the window, looked calmly at the window already torn apart by sword Qi, and said with a smile: "You will pay for the repairs to the ninth floor of the Ascension Pavilion; go find the people of Snow Moon City."

Although his voice was soft.

It reached the ears of the challenger, who was still falling from the sky, without missing a word.

For a Vajra Mortal Realm martial artist.

Jiang Chen naturally couldn’t make any demands.

The reason he had added martial combat as an option to answering questions was, naturally, after some consideration.

Snow Moon City was a city full of the atmosphere of the Jianghu.

And now, Beili was about to fall into chaos.

Don’t let the fact that most of the Jianghu people coming to Snow Moon City recently were mediocre fool you.

But as time went on.

More and more experts would definitely enter Snow Moon City.

By then.

Jiang Chen didn’t believe the three City Lords alone could deter so many experts.

And Jiang Chen himself was too lazy to act.

If he had to do everything himself, wouldn’t he be exhausted to death?

To be honest.

Compared to the fighting and killing in the Jianghu, he preferred his current life.

Asking two questions a day, getting system rewards.

Then teasing his master when he had nothing to do, and strolling around Snow Moon City with Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo—it was as comfortable as could be.

So.

He came up with this method.

When he encountered true experts who came to challenge the pavilion, if they chose martial combat and lost, he would have them guard Fancheng for three months.

This way.

If any Jianghu people caused trouble, he and the three City Lords wouldn’t even need to act; someone else would help solve it.

As for what to do if they didn’t agree.

That was even simpler.

Pick a troublemaker and kill them to warn the others, wouldn’t that work?

One wasn’t enough.

Then two. ===== CHAPTER 32 =====
