"Stop!"

...

"Foolish!"

...

It was now the hour of the Pig, precisely when the roosters crowed. The moon in the sky gradually turned transparent, and the early dawn slowly rose in the east.

Having fought continuously through the night, even martial artists of superior physical condition felt somewhat languid at this moment. However, when everyone gathered in the battlefield heard these two voices, their bodies trembled in an instant, all turning their heads sharply to the east, looking to the source of the sounds.

At the end of the dawn, a handsome young man in white, carrying a longsword, approached from stepping through the clouds.

His expression was arrogant. His sharp sword-like eyebrows pierced the skies, and not even his flowing white robe could hide his upright stature. His steps, slow and rhythmical, seemed to tread upon the hearts of everyone present.

Sword Qi enveloped his surroundings, and a glint of light flashed in his pupils.

Anyone who met his gaze felt a stabbing pain in their eyes, and subconsciously turned away, unable to face his sharpness.

His entire being, like a sword from the clouds, captured everyone's attention the moment he appeared, not even excepting Hou Yuxiao, who was about to commit murder.

The tone of the two sounds he had just emitted carried an extremely casual contempt, as if he had seen through Hou Yuxiao's intentions to continue his assault in an instant.

"Foolish" was his assessment of Hou Yuxiao's actions.

As his words fell, he made no movement, only turning his head to stare at Hou Yuxiao. His pupils projected themselves onto Hou Yuxiao, and a streak of Sword Qi materialized from the void, suddenly slashing towards him...

Hou Yuxiao's pores burst open at that moment, his expression full of terror. Only then did he realize the true meaning of "foolish" as just said!

Attempting to forcibly strike down Tian Linong in his presence was nothing but a deluded dream, a wild fantasy.

The Sword Qi formed from the void, bearing an extremely ancient aura, swept across a nearly hundred-meter radiance. Even in the dim lit sky, it dazzled extraordinarily.

In that moment, people realized that the so-called six great experts were not as formidable in comparison to this young man.

As such thoughts occurred to them, Hou Yuxiao, who faced the Sword Qi directly, turned deathly pale, his heart having already sunk to the bottom.

The Sword Qi glinting in his pupils, he could even smell a hint of death until a touch of fragrance replaced that scent of death, entering his nostrils. Hou Yuxiao then suddenly relaxed.

A figure in light blue attire, the Holy Maiden, holding a scripture in one hand and pressing a sword with the other, finally appeared.

She did nothing but stand in front of Hou Yuxiao. With a slight flutter of her sleeve, like the silent moisturizing of dew, she dissolved the Sword Qi that in Hou Yuxiao's eyes could have killed him.

Hou Yuxiao breathed heavily, his face filled with the relief of having survived a calamity, looking at the Holy Maiden who stood in front of him. Even though he already knew she would appear, a sincere gratitude still surged in his heart.

"Who would possess such audacity to trigger a war between two states? It turns out to be the Ninth Swordsman Gu Chenfeng, Sword Heart Sacred Pupil Young Master Gu. Yue'er sends her regards!"

Yue'er...

It was the first time Hou Yuxiao heard the Holy Maiden's name. Recalling their initial encounter, his heart stirred slightly, sighing inwardly as people matched their names.

She radiated an air of elegant and serene strength, her face always bearing a calm as if she had insight into the workings of the world, constantly exuding a demeanor that made others want to draw close, yet simultaneously instill a sense of awe, indeed like the moon in the sky, giving off a feeling of being within reach yet out of touch.

Compared to Hou Yuxiao's chaotic thoughts, the Holy Maiden appeared much calmer. She slightly bowed as a greeting, revealing the newcomer's identity with a single statement, instantly causing an uproar among the people of Zhaoyang City with discussions erupting all around.

"The Ninth Swordsman?"

"One of the Nine Great Swordsmen of Wanjian Holy Sect, Sword Heart Sacred Pupil Gu Chenfeng!"

"He's so young, walking on air, at the Grandmaster Realm, can this be real?"

"Foolish, the Nine Great Swordsmen carry the heritage of Wanjian Holy Sect. They are the top geniuses of the world, not to be measured by common standards."

......

The discussions of the crowd also brought Hou Yuxiao's thoughts back, and he turned his head to look at Gu Chenfeng.

Looking at that arrogantly young face, standing proudly in the air, and thinking back to the Sword Qi that had just materialized from the void.

The Three Realms of Gang Qi refer to Embracing Elixir, which is not the Taoist formation of an elixir, but rather the solidification of Gangsha and the cultivation of an undying Dan Gang. This is why Tian Linong could fight for so long without tiring.

After achieving Dan Qi Perfection, one must Participate Qi into Origin and condense Martial Dao True Qi. This realm is also known to the world as 'Five Qi Towards the Origin,' or the Grandmaster Realm.

Third-rate forces only need a Warrior of the Gang Qi Realm to preside over them. The presence of a Grandmaster denotes a Second-rate power!

"To reach the Grandmaster Realm at such a young age, truly worthy of being a Sacred Land Successor..."

For a moment, Hou Yuxiao's pupils showed palpitations, shock, admiration, and even... a trace of hatred hidden deep within his heart, which was gradually growing!

It wasn't just Hou Yuxiao. Hou Yucheng, Hou Yuling, Hou Yu Jie, and even Hou Fei, Hou Ying, and Hou Cun all looked at Gu Chenfeng with intense hatred in their eyes at this moment.

Theoretically, the people of the Hou Clan should have never met Gu Chenfeng before, and the only reason they reacted in such a way was clear!

Leaving aside the reactions of the Hou Clan members for now, Gu Chenfeng, who stood vacantly in the air, seeing the Saintess bow to him, did not reveal his thoughts, but his face soon showed a sign of solemnity and he respectfully bowed in return.

"Lady Yunyue is too polite. Two years ago, at the Great Jin Divine Capital's Sacred Land Martial Conference, Miss Sikong won in a brilliant manner, and was even decreed by the Emperor of Jin to be the ruler of Youdu. I, Gu, a mere commoner, dare not accept such a grand gesture from you!"

"The absent heirs of various Sacred Lands unfortunately allowed Yue'er to obtain some unmerited fame, hardly noteworthy."

"The Commandery Princess is too humble!"

...

The two spoke as if they were oblivious to the thousands of people around them, conversing one sentence after another.

If it weren't for the vast number of casualties tonight, with Zhaoyang City still permeating a faint scent of blood, those unaware of the context might have thought they were old friends catching up on old times.

Hou Yuxiao had long hidden the hatred deep within his heart, grasping every detail of their conversation as he tried to gather more information.

Great Jin Divine Capital, Sacred Land Martial Conference, Ruler of Youdu, Lady Yunyue, Emperor of Jin's decree...

Apart from the event two years ago when the new Emperor of Jin ascended the throne and invited the Sacred Lands to the ceremony, which Hou Yuxiao knew slightly about, he had never heard of the other things Gu Chenfeng mentioned.

Clearly, besides being the Saintess of the Rakshasa Holy Sect, Sikong Yue also held a title conferred by the Great Jin Dynasty—a Commandery Princess. As for the ruler of Youdu, it must be a title related to her feudal lands.

The Great Jin Dynasty governs the regions of You, Fen, and Yu, not only as the undisputed number one force on the Demon Path but also as the holder of the largest territory among the world's ten great Sacred Lands. Although no official rankings are announced, the power of Great Jin is well recognized by the world!

This is why all the Sacred Lands must attend the Emperor's coronation.

Being a titleholder under the Great Jin Dynasty, Sikong Yue's status in the six states of the Demon Path was evidently much higher than Hou Yuxiao had imagined.

"Why would Young Master Gu initiate a war between two states? Was it perhaps on the orders of the Wanjian Holy Sect to measure strength against our Rakshasa Holy Sect?"

As the crowd diverged in their thoughts, the two main figures appeared to have finished their pleasant exchanges, and Sikong Yue's voice, carrying a hint of inquiry, pulled everyone's thoughts back.

Hearing this somewhat serious interrogation, not a flicker of emotion crossed Gu Chenfeng's face; instead, a slight smile emerged.

"Initiate? Where do such words come from? I, Gu, have heard that Zhaoyang had demonic bandits from our Xuzhou causing chaos, and they even captured Sect Master Tian's beloved daughter.

Sect Master Tian, in distress, had no choice but to mobilize his sect to attack Zhaoyang.

Clearly, it was Zhaoyang's Demon Path that provoked the conflict, and Xuzhou was only passive in response. How can the Commandery Princess accuse me of initiating the conflict?"

...

The moment had finally arrived.

A glimmer flashed deep in Hou Yuxiao's eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

The moment he brought Tian Honglu back half a month ago, he knew this day would come. Fortunately, he had prepared in advance. With Gu Chenfeng's appearance, it indicated that this whole matter was about to be concluded!

With a thought, Hou Yuxiao slightly stepped forward, intending to speak…

But just as he took that half step forward, he was horrified to discover that his body could no longer move an inch.

This feeling was as if a terrifying Sword Qi had locked onto his body. Although Hou Yuxiao did not look up, he was certain that the source of this oppressive force was Gu Chenfeng hanging in midair.

More precisely, it was from his Sword Heart Sacred Pupils…
