Chapter 57 – North-Zhou Gale Sword! Zhaocong Sword!

When the Sword Conference was near, Zhang Tianjian left his work and brought his son to the Swordsman City in a rush.

They did not come traveling on foot like Zhou Xuanji and his companions, they went through a teleportation spell formation.

Each kingdom under the Great Zhou Empire had a teleportation spell formation. It could transport ten people each time, in case of invasions from enemies.

As a result, they only took two days to arrive from another city within the Great Zhou Empire.

Zhang Ruyu curled his lip as he listened to his father’s bluffs. He thought to himself, if Sword God Zhou were to come, you would not be boasting like this.

Not far away, Zhou Xuanji and his companions stopped.

“Isn’t that Zhang Tianjian from the Southern Snow Kingdom?” The Sword Valiant said with knitted brows.

He was on good terms with Zhang Tianjian, but when he heard his friend boasting, he felt rather displeased.

On the other hand, Zhou Xuanji, Little Jiang Xue, and Huang Lianxin recognized Zhang Ruyu.

Zhou Xuanji looked at Zhang Tianjian’s back and immediately walked toward him.

Zhang Ruyu was just about to retort when he saw Zhou Xuanji and his companions. His eyes opened wide instantly.

“This trick again,” Zhang Tianjian said with a scornful laugh, “You think I will believe that Sword God Zhou will appear right behind me? Brat, can you stop diverting my attention with the same old trick. Try something different?”

“Sir, you think that you can defeat me?”

Zhou Xuanji said with a childlike voice, and Zhang Tianjian’s face froze.

Shit!

Could it really be Sword God Zhou?

He immediately broke out in a cold sweat and looked back, pretending to be calm.

When he saw that that Northern Sword Valiant was with Zhou Xuanji, his heart trembled.

It’s the end of me!

“General Zhang, you are a little too haughty.” The Sword Valiant snorted.

He would not have dared to talk to Zhang Tianji like this in the past.

But now Zhou Xuanji became his pillar!

Embarrassment was written all across the general’s face, he did not know how to answer.

Zhang Ruyu came forward and held onto Zhou Xuanji’s hands. “Senior Sword God Zhou, are you going to participate in the Sword Conference?” He asked in excitement.

His loud voice immediately drew the attention of many people.

Culturally speaking, people in Swordsman City loved swords, and those who came to the city were mostly sword cultivators.

Of course, they heard about Sword God Zhou, who became famous recently.

At that moment, many eyes fell on Zhou Xuanji.

Zhang Ruyu began to express his admiration towards Sword God Zhou, and Zhang Tianjian suddenly felt that his son was actually not bad.

With such praises towards Sword God Zhou, how could Sword God Zhou pursue against him further?

He sighed in his heart, he must be more careful next time and not boast so boldly in public. This was really too embarrassing.

“So that is Sword God Zhou? He looks like a child.”

“Don’t be fooled by Sword God Zhou’s appearance. He is someone that could easily kill even Ye E’guan.”

“He’s really Sword God Zhou. Didn’t you see the Northern Sword Valiant following behind him?”

“This Sword Conference will be very entertaining.”

“Tsk tsk. I didn’t expect that, other than North-Zhou Gale Sword, Sword God Zhou would come too.”

The people at the city gate commented about Zhou Xuanji. Some admired him, some mocked him, and others despised him.

“Has the registration for the Sword Conference began?” Zhou Xuanji asked, interrupting Zhang Ruyu’s ceaseless praises. “Where is it?”

Zhang Ruyu heard him. He immediately patted his own chest and said with a smile, “Let me bring you there!”

Zhou Xuanji had no objection for someone to lead the way.

The group walked into the city.

After hesitating briefly, Zhang Tianjian followed after them as well.

He didn’t know why he always felt that Sword God Zhou’s dragon eagles were the two dragon eagle eggs that he encountered that year.

Of course, he dared not to ask even though he suspected.

Along the way, Zhang Ruyu chattered continuously, telling Zhou Xuanji more about this Sword Conference.
