"We lost!"
"We surrender!"
In the critical moment, "Lu Renyi Quasi-Saint Son" and "Good Buddy" reacted with astonishing uniformity.
They surrendered in unison.
If they didn't surrender now, their lives would be forfeit!
The entire venue erupted in an uproar!
Holy cow!
This is too exaggerated!
Who exactly is this "Golden Core cultivator" named Ling Weifeng?
It's already monstrous for a "Golden Core cultivator" to possess the acquired spirit treasure "Qing Yuan Immortal Sword," but he can also unleash its might, defeating two powerful "Nascent Soul masters" with a single move.
This, this... is simply insane!
Everyone began to discuss heatedly.
The sole topic of everyone's discussion was "Ling Weifeng."
"What is the origin of this handsome sword cultivator? He's too powerful!"
"Terrifying, truly terrifying!"
"Could it be that he is a monstrous genius from one of those legendary small paradises?"
...
In the minds of the cultivators, only the "ancient families" within "small paradises" possessed the wealth and strength to nurture a "monstrous genius" like Ling Weifeng!
Little did they know, their "speculations" were soon met with sarcastic retorts from those in the know.
"What small paradise? Daoist Ling is not a cultivator from a small paradise; he's from the Dragon Rider Merchant Guild!"
Rumble!
This declaration instantly caused a massive stir.
Everyone was struck as if by lightning, their eyes wide with disbelief.
They all doubted if they had heard correctly.
This is nonsense!
While the "Dragon Rider Merchant Guild" was gaining prominence recently, they were just a group of merchants. Could merchants possess "acquired spirit treasures"? Could they nurture such a heaven-defying "monstrous genius"?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
At this moment, "Lu Renyi Quasi-Saint Son" and his "Good Buddy" had already shamefully descended from the "Ancient Arena."
It was utterly humiliating for these two "Nascent Soul masters" to be instantly defeated by a mere "Golden Core cultivator."
After descending from the "Ancient Arena," "Lu Renyi Quasi-Saint Son" grew more and more indignant. He couldn't help but turn back and ask,
"Esteemed Sword Cultivator Daoist, may I know your distinguished name?"
He had lost inexplicably, and at the very least, he wanted to know the opponent's name.
Ling Weifeng formed a sword seal, and the "Qing Yuan Immortal Sword" circled in the air, its sword light flashing as it flew back into the "Spiritual Wood Sword Box."
Ling Weifeng's movements were elegant, his demeanor refined, and he looked incredibly handsome!
This immediately elicited screams from the female cultivators present.
At this moment, Ling Weifeng finally spoke in his magnetic voice, slowly opening his mouth.
"Dragon Rider Merchant Guild, Ling Weifeng!"
Holy cow!
The entire venue was in an uproar!
Everyone was completely shocked by this news!
They had never imagined that this "peerless sword cultivator" was indeed a cultivator from the "Dragon Rider Merchant Guild"!
Heavens!
This is simply incredible!
Some quick-witted cultivators quickly realized that the "Dragon Rider Merchant Guild" was no ordinary organization.
An ordinary merchant guild could not nurture such an awe-inspiring "peerless sword cultivator"!
An ordinary merchant guild certainly could not possess the acquired spirit treasure "Qing Yuan Immortal Sword"!
This "Dragon Rider Merchant Guild" was unfathomable, truly unfathomable!
The higher-ups of the "Three Immortal Sword Sects" cast their gazes further, already considering the possibility of cooperating with the "Dragon Rider Merchant Guild."
The fact that the "Dragon Rider Merchant Guild" could equip a "Golden Core cultivator" with an "acquired spirit treasure" indicated what? They had the power!
The "Dragon Rider Merchant Guild" definitely possessed more than one "acquired spirit treasure"!
If they could establish a good relationship with the "Dragon Rider Merchant Guild" and their cooperation was pleasant, perhaps there would be a chance to obtain an "acquired spirit treasure" from the "Dragon Rider Merchant Guild."
That was an incredibly powerful "acquired spirit treasure"!
Just thinking about it was enough to make one excited!
With Ling Weifeng's astonishing display, the "Dragon Rider Merchant Guild" gained immense prestige and was momentarily in the spotlight.
All the cultivators were buzzing with gossip, while a few individuals felt as disgusted as if they had swallowed flies.
First was "Neon Quasi-Saint Son."
His mood was already bad today.
His own brother, "Dongba Quasi-Saint Son," had mysteriously disappeared, and people were pointing fingers at him, suspecting he had killed his own brother.
Holy cow!
"Neon Quasi-Saint Son" truly wished he could drag out the rumor-mongers and torment their souls, reducing them to ashes!
Seeing Ling Weifeng produce the acquired spirit treasure "Qing Yuan Immortal Sword," "Neon Quasi-Saint Son's" bad mood worsened!
He gritted his teeth, vowing inwardly to engage in illicit relations with all eighteen generations of Qian Duoduo's female ancestors.
That scoundrel Qian Duoduo, while outwardly respectful and obedient, had been hoarding the truly valuable item, the "Qing Yuan Immortal Sword." This was excessive and unforgivable!
In "Neon Quasi-Saint Son's" view, if Qian Duoduo truly wished to pledge allegiance to him, he should have presented the "Qing Yuan Immortal Sword" to him!
Hmph!
Qian Duoduo, you fat toad, just you wait!
"Neon Quasi-Saint Son's" eyes blazed with murderous intent; he had already condemned Qian Duoduo and the "Dragon Rider Merchant Guild" to death in his heart.
Once today was over and he, "Neon Quasi-Saint Son," became the "Lord of the Three Immortal Sword Sects," he would order the extermination of the "Dragon Rider Merchant Guild."
At that time, he would seize control of the "Dragon Rider Merchant Guild's" financial avenues and snatch the acquired spirit treasure "Qing Yuan Immortal Sword"...
The second person not feeling good was none other than "Wang Jiujiu," who stood beside "Neon Quasi-Saint Son."
Upon learning of the "Dragon Rider Merchant Guild's" scheme to frame the "Great New Dynasty," "Wang Jiujiu" had already declared the "Dragon Rider Merchant Guild" his mortal enemy.
Now, seeing the "Dragon Rider Merchant Guild" basking in glory, he was naturally unhappy.
Damn it!
"Wang Jiujiu's" eyes also shot out murderous intent.
Damn the "Dragon Rider Merchant Guild"! Enjoy your fleeting glory for a little longer. Wait a moment, and when my plan with "Fairy Wukong" is enacted, you will die alongside "Neon Quasi-Saint Son"!
"Wang Jiujiu" sneered inwardly.
He was full of confidence in the upcoming plan.
With "Dongba Quasi-Saint Son" dead, everyone would pin the blame on the "Dragon Rider Merchant Guild."
The "Dragon Rider Merchant Guild" was doomed!
...
The last group of unhappy individuals were the "Quasi-Saint Sons" of the "Penglai Sword Sect."
Holy cow!
They had originally come to participate in the competition with a "just for fun" attitude.
After all, they couldn't possibly become "Saint Sons." They were merely there to play along with "Saint Son Kongxu" in a performance, as long as it wasn't too fake.
But now, the situation had completely changed.
Look at the unfortunate "Lu Renyi Quasi-Saint Son." He was instantly defeated by Ling Weifeng's sword, and his entire spirit was broken.
"Lu Renyi Quasi-Saint Son" was utterly dejected, his eyes devoid of light. This was a sign of his Dao heart shattering.
From now on, "Lu Renyi Quasi-Saint Son's" cultivation would never advance again.
Ling Weifeng's sword strike just now was too powerful; it had directly severed "Lu Renyi Quasi-Saint Son's" future path to immortality!
