Chapter 342

she had already given up the idea of snatching the Dragon-Slaying Saber, but she still wanted to follow along to see how Jiang Chen would obtain the Dragon-Slaying Saber from the hands of the Golden-Haired Lion King.

As one of the former Four Great Guardian Kings of the Ming Cult, the Golden-Haired Lion King's strength had long reached the Carefree Heaven Realm.

Although she had already guessed that the Golden-Haired Lion King should not be Jiang Chen's opponent,

if she could use this to figure out Jiang Chen's strength, it would be good for her Master to be prepared when she returned.

After all, the various rumors about the Dragon-Slaying Saber were basically all connected to the Heaven-Reliant Sword.

And at this moment, the wind direction on the sea was not right,

so it was not easy for her to leave by small boat at this time.

Now,

what Zhou Zhiruo was worried about in her heart was,

she was afraid that after Jiang Chen obtained the Dragon-Slaying Saber, he would then head to the Emei Sect to snatch the Heaven-Reliant Sword.

"I not only know Abbess Miejue, if I'm not mistaken, you should be Zhou Zhiruo, right?"

Jiang Chen said with a smile, "I went to the Great Ming Dynasty once before and heard some things about the Emei Sect from the Sun Moon Divine Sect leader, Dongfang Bubai."

Looking at the astonished Zhou Zhiruo,

Jiang Chen continued:

"And the only one who could be trusted by Abbess Miejue and arranged to come here to steal the Dragon-Slaying Saber, besides her disciple Zhou Zhiruo, seems to be no other suitable candidate."

Listening to Jiang Chen's words,

Zhou Zhiruo did not know what to say for a moment.

Clearly,

the young man in front of her not only knew the Emei Sect but also seemed to be very familiar with it.

Most importantly,

the other party seemed to have a close relationship with the leader of the Sun Moon Divine Sect.

Regarding the Sun Moon Divine Sect leader, Dongfang Bubai,

Zhou Zhiruo naturally knew of him.

Before coming to Ice Fire Island, she had heard about the conflict between the Sun Moon Divine Sect and the Five Mountain Sword Sects.

Any one of the Five Mountain Sword Sects was not much worse than the Emei Sect, especially the Huashan Sect, which was only stronger, not weaker, than the Emei Sect.

Yet the Sun Moon Divine Sect could face the Five Mountain Sword Sects simultaneously without falling behind; one can imagine the strength of the Sun Moon Divine Sect.

Zhou Zhiruo also knew that,

if it weren't for the fact that the former Sun Moon Divine Sect leader, Ren Woxing, had now gone into qi deviation and could not exert one or two percent of his strength, the Five Mountain Sword Sects would not even dare to oppose the Sun Moon Divine Sect.

Possessing two powerhouses above the Great Carefree Realm within one sect,

this can be considered the top force in the entire Great Ming Jianghu.

And her own Master, Abbess Miejue, had now only just reached the second stage of the Carefree Heaven Realm, the Soaring Realm, and was still a long way from the Great Carefree Realm.

This is also why the Emei Sect had always wanted to find the Dragon-Slaying Saber.

Because the Heaven-Reliant Sword clearly contained the most superior martial arts manual in the Jianghu, the Nine Yin True Sutra, yet there was no way to take it out.

This is like having treasure right in front of one's eyes, but only being able to watch it without being able to dig it out; one can imagine the frustration.

It was just that,

the Sun Moon Divine Sect is a Demonic Sect.

Then, since this person in front of her had a close friendship with Dongfang Bubai, was the other party also a bad person?

And was everything the other party was showing now just to confuse her and prevent her from making a commotion that would disturb the Golden-Haired Lion King?

Zhou Zhiruo secretly glanced at Jiang Chen,

seemingly wanting to confirm her thoughts. ===== CHAPTER 343 =====
