Truth Exposed, Empresses Beg for Forgiveness-Chapter 78: A Request Out of Line—Wishing to Duel a Fellow Daoist Once More? With Him—Luo Xuan!

Chapter 78: Chapter 78: A Request Out of Line—Wishing to Duel a Fellow Daoist Once More? With Him—Luo Xuan!

Before going on stage, Jian Po focused his gaze on the young Luo Xuan.

There seemed to be a deeper meaning in his eyes.

Meanwhile, the young Luo Xuan remained calm and composed throughout.

As if he hadn’t noticed Jian Po’s gaze at all.

Jian Po ascended the stage of the Sword Dao Grand Competition, which was now the final stage of the Eastern Sword Domain’s competition.

Standing opposite him was a Loose Cultivator Sword Immortal.

"For a Loose Cultivator to reach this stage is quite an achievement.

But alas, you encounter me, someone with an invincible Sword Heart.

A Loose Cultivator can never compare to the Great Cultivators of the orthodox sects!"

Jian Po paid no mind to his opponent.

He was already thinking ahead about the further matches with champions from other Three Sword Domains.

If he won those, he would undoubtedly shine brightly.

It’s not impossible that he might even gain the favor of the Sword Emperor!

On the stage, the result of this match was finalized much quicker than many Sword Cultivators had anticipated.

"Ah!!"

The terrifying Sword Qi roared.

In a short moment, the Loose Cultivator opposite Jian Po let out an anguished cry.

He was directly struck out of the stage, falling unconscious!

This scene left many spectators stunned.

Only to soon feel disheartened one by one.

Is the gap between Loose Cultivators and orthodox sect Sword Cultivators really so vast?

The Sword Spirit Race sends few participants to the Sword Dao Grand Competition, yet each reaches the finals.

None of them are eliminated ahead of time.

On this day of the finals, even if a Loose Cultivator Sword Cultivator managed to defeat others, they fought as if their lives depended on it, some even lost their Flying Swords.

Meanwhile, Sword Spirit Race Cultivators took it all in stride.

Ancestry is indeed of utmost importance...

On the main high platform, Jian Kuanglan slightly furrowed his brow.

He seemed to think Jian Po had injured his opponent too severely.

"Third Elder, bring forth a Spirit Pill to heal that young friend." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Jian Kuanglan instructed.

After the Alchemy Room personnel revived that Sword Cultivator.

At this moment, Jian Kuanglan also announced the results of this Sword Dao Grand Competition.

"Fellow Daoists, the Sword Dao Grand Competition has reached its conclusion, the champion is Jian Po!

Does anyone have any objections?"

Naturally, no one had objections at this time.

Everyone had witnessed Jian Po’s strength, surpassing all others in the younger generation.

Winning the championship was only rightful.

Seeing this, Jian Kuanglan declared.

"Very well, then I hereby announce Jian Po as the champion of this Eastern Sword Domain Sword Dao Grand Competition.

The reward will be presented personally by the Sword Master later.

Five days hence, Jian Po will represent the Eastern Sword Domain to challenge the champions from the other Three Sword Domains."

Jian Kuanglan announced the results of the competition.

Jian Po at this moment performed a sword salute to Jian Kuanglan.

"Thank you, Sword Master. As for the reward, there’s no rush.

Actually, I have a small request; I wish to have another match with a certain Daoist friend."

Upon hearing this, Jian Kuanglan asked.

"Hmm? Jian Po, with whom do you wish to compete?"

The other Sword Cultivators remained clueless about Jian Po’s intentions.

Jian Po already stood tall as the champion of the Eastern Sword Domain Sword Dao Grand Competition.

All the competitors have been defeated by him one after the other.

Even though due to the competition’s crossover format, some were indeed not his direct opponents.

But the stronger ones have already fallen to Jian Po, does he need to face the remaining?

At this time, Jian Po directly pointed a finger at Luo Xuan.

"With him, Luo Xuan!"

As soon as Jian Po uttered these words, everyone’s gaze immediately turned towards the young Luo Xuan.

Now, Jian Po even directly names Luo Xuan.

It seems there’s some unresolved issue between the two?

Jian Ling’er at this moment was taken aback.

Unexpectedly, Jian Po had such an idea!

...

In the Celestial Emperor Palace, many cultivators at this moment felt simply dumbfounded.

Their expressions increasingly peculiar.

Jian Po actually intends to challenge the Celestial Emperor?

Isn’t this... really courting death!

Jian Kuanglan glanced at the young Luo Xuan, then closed his eyes slightly, seeming to probe something.

When Jian Kuanglan reopened his eyes, his brow furrowed slightly.

"This Young Friend Luo did not sign up for the Sword Dao Grand Competition.

Jian Po, guests are guests, how can you compete with an unregistered young friend?"

The onlooking Sword Cultivators heard that and realized the young Luo Xuan hadn’t registered.

No wonder he seemed unfamiliar, and hadn’t been seen near the stage in recent days.

However, Jian Po at this point looked at the young Luo Xuan, mocking with a smile.

"The Sword Master might not know, but this Luo Xuan is a friend of Jian Ling’er.

The two have been sharing accommodations these days, except for the days Luo Xuan went to the Sword Spirit Library Pavilion.

Perhaps, considering their relationship, this Fellow Daoist Luo is already a half-member of the Sword Spirit Race~

Hahaha!"

The sarcasm in Jian Po’s tone was too obvious to ignore.

Given what Jian Ling’er previously told Luo Xuan about Jian Po’s high standing within the Sword Spirit Race.

To uncover this was certainly not difficult.

Besides the three days young Luo Xuan went to the Sword Spirit Library Pavilion.

He and Jian Ling’er naturally shared accommodations all the while!

Now, everyone’s gaze collectively turned towards this direction.

Especially upon seeing the shocking scar on Jian Ling’er’s face, many gazes spontaneously carried disdain.

Even gazes towards Luo Xuan became somewhat peculiar.

Despite Fellow Daoist Luo’s handsome looks, was he truly so desperate?

To be involved with a woman like Jian Ling’er, who appeared so unappealing?

Jian Ling’er at this moment couldn’t help but lower her fair head slightly.

Feeling increasingly apologetic, burdened by the thought that she brought such scrutiny upon Luo Xuan.

At this moment in her heart... an unexpressed impulse was already burgeoning!

On the high platform, Jian Kuanglan pondered Jian Po’s words, and looked at Jian Ling’er.

"Jian Ling’er, is this true?"

Jian Ling’er had no choice but to answer truthfully.

"To answer the Sword Master, yes, it is true.

He... is my friend. This time returning to the Sword Spirit Race without registering for the Sword Dao Grand Competition, he had no guest room, hence I let him stay in my room.

However, we are completely innocent..."

Jian Ling’er, accustomed to cold stares and ridicule over the years, did not wish for Luo Xuan to endure the same.

One day, he will find a woman of exceptional beauty to spend his life with.

He mustn’t be dragged down by her...

Upon hearing Jian Ling’er’s words, Jian Po immediately sneered.

"Innocent? Truly laughable.

Are you planning to innocently produce a few offspring?"

This time, Jian Kuanglan was noticeably displeased.

His voice even rose a few notches.

"Jian Po!"

The voice carried the True Meaning of the Sword Dao, almost deafening Jian Po!
