Chapter 63 (1/2)

Zhou Xuanji frowned. The Sword Monarch indeed, he exclaimed in his heart.

The Sword Monarch’s words were a trap!

For someone as high and lofty as the Sword Monarch to show such high regard for Zhou Xuanji, it would be like pushing Zhou Xuanji into a pit of fire.

He could already sense the crowd looking at him differently.

They were becoming increasingly jealousy.

Especially Xie Sect disciples. They looked at him with such ferocity, as though they wanted to gobble him up.

Zhou Xuanji did not respond. In such a time like this, silence was the better choice.

Since Great Zhou’s Sword Monarch intended to cause his downfall with excessive praise, why should he not ride on the momentum to seek his own success?

Moreover, if he were to retort, would he be seen as irreverent toward the Sword Monarch?

If that was the case, then the Sword Monarch would have an excuse to take his life whenever the Sword Monarch wanted to.

For an upright and famous cultivator like Great Zhou’s Sword Monarch, he could not kill someone without a good reason.

The million people surrounding the stone stage were in an uproar. They cried out in surprise one after another, they made so much noise that they almost overturned the sky.

“Oh my god! Sword God Zhou caught the attention of the Sword Monarch?”

“Awesome. Sword God Zhou is awesome indeed!”

“Of course. He dared to call himself Sword God, you think that he did not have the abilities?”

“The Sword Monarch is trying to destroy him with excessive praise!”

“How can that be! The Sword Monarch is straightforward and upright. He would not do such a thing!”

At the edge of the stone stage, Little Jiang Xue, Northern Valiant Sword, and the rest were also stirred up.

Zhang Rutan said in admiration, “Sword God Zhou is awesome indeed.”

Huang Lianxin, however, frowned and said softly, “The Sword Monarch does not have good intentions.”

“What do you mean?” Little Jiang Xue heard her and asked in astonishment. Didn’t he look at our Sword God Zhou favorably?”

Northern Valiant Sword also came to the realization. The excitement on his face disappeared in an instant. He muttered, “Look at the atmosphere around. This is to destroy my master with excessive praise.”

Little Jiang Xue instinctively looked at the crowd and realized that not everyone was cheering.

Most people were looked at Zhou Xuanji with suspicion, others were jealous.

At the same time, on the stone stage, Xie Wuyou maintained his smile as he stared at Zhou Xuanji. He nodded at times, as though he was praising Zhou Xuanji continuously.

Zhou Xuanji cursed in his heart. What an actor!

He immediately asked, “When will the Sword Conference start? Will we have time for lunch?”

Xie Wuyou was a little stunned. “You are humorous, indeed. We will start as soon as everyone is here.” He said with a smile as he shook his head.

Zhou Xuanji turned and looked back. It was easy to identify the participants of the Sword Conference. They all had a piece of a white jade token by their waist.

Including him, there were 41 people in total.

There were 9 who were delaying the whole thing.

He suddenly noticed someone looking at him with peculiar eyes.

It wasn’t jealousy, disdain or suspicion surrounding him. This person’s eyes were full of the desire to fight.

He was looking at Zhaocong Sword and was wondering who this person was.

Zhang Tianjian muttered beside him, “He is Zhaocong Sword.”

Zhaocong Sword, who was comparable to Zhou Yalong in terms of talents?

Zhou Xuanji squinted and began assessing Zhaocong Sword.

Their eyes met. Zhaocong Sword raised the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were glistening, as though he found prey.

“Hahaha! I don’t care if you are Sword God Zhou or Zhaocong Sword! In today’s Sword Conference, I will surely win!”

A burst of arrogant laughter came from the horizon. A man who wore a white martial robe and stood on his sword was flying over. He was majestic and elegant, emanating a fearless and dominating aura.

“North Zhou Gale Sword,” Zhang Tianjian muttered.

Zhou Xuanji glanced at North Zhou Gale Sword. This guy dared to insult him?

Just wait. I will stab you with my sword until your own mother cannot recognize you!

He snorted and no longer paid any attention to North Zhou Gale Sword.

After North Zhou Gale Sword landed on the stage, he conversed joyfully with Xie Wuyou and ignored the other Sword Cultivators.

At the back of the throng of people, there were hundreds of temporary buildings. Since there were no gates, they could see through the crowd of people to observe the Sword Conference.
