Chapter 220 - Heroes Gathered, Enemies Coming (1/2)

“So, he’s the legendary Sword God Zhou. He looks like a prodigy indeed, just as I expected.”

“Astral Projection Level Four. He’s only twenty-two years old!”

“He should be 23 now? The younger generation is really surpassing the older generation.”

“He’s our Vice Sect Lord now. He even killed the Beiba Blademaster.”

“I heard that our Sect Lord will marry him!”

The demonic cultivators discussed amongst themselves, and everyone was looking at Zhou Xuanji with excitement and curiosity.

The female demonic cultivator tried to hold back her excitement and said, “Vice Sect Lord, follow me.”

Zhou Xuanji nodded. He could sense the demonic cultivators looking at him, which made him mumble something to himself.

At this moment, would there be an arrogant genius in the evil sect that would jump out to provoke him?

And only after a round of face-slapping the genius and shocking everyone could he indeed be recognized as the Vice Sect Lord?

Ptooey!

When did I decide to be the Vice Sect Lord of Tanhua Sect?

I’m the man who is going to create my own sect!

Zhou Xuanji shook his head while smiling and followed the female demonic cultivator.

Along the way, the female demonic cultivator appeared exhilarated. She kept on asking about Zhou Xuanji’s past battles.

“Vice Sect Lord, did you really start training the sword at six years old?”

“How did you feel when our Sect Lord sought after you?”

“Back then, when you faced Lin Guanyu, were you confident that you would win?”

“Now, you are ranked on two rankings. Unparalleled Way of the Sword in the Northern Wilderness, comparable to the Ancient Sword Emperors. You are just awesome!”

Zhou Xuanji could only maintain his smile. He felt that this woman could talk to him about this for the entire day.

The Tanhua Sect’s headquarters was massive. It felt like a subterranean city.

A long while later, Zhou Xuanji finally came to the residence where Jiang Xue, Xiao Jinghong, and the others were staying.

Eight demonic cultivators were guarding the gate. When they saw Zhou Xuanji, they immediately knelt down with formalities.

“Vice Sect Lord!”

Zong Kuiming had shown them Zhou Xuanji’s portrait for them to remember his face.

The corner of Zhou Xuanji’s mouth twitched before he stepped into the residence.

A long stretch of the wooden corridor was before him. He walked to the end of it and passed a curved pavement before he reached the courtyard.

The fragrance of blossoms and birds chirping filled the place. Thick vegetation surrounded the spacious ground.

Xiao Jinghong, Zhao Congjian, Huang Lianxin, and Beixiao Wangjian were practicing their sword techniques.

Ah Big and Small Er were resting at one corner like two small hills.

Chongming Demon Monarch was tempering the bodies of red Qilin and the little black snake. With one of them in each of his hands, he whipped them around and smashed them into the ground.

Jiang Xue was internalizing Qi in the stone pavilion, while Han Shenbo and Daoya Old Man were nowhere to be seen.

Sensing his aura, everyone turned to look at him.

“Master!”

“Revered Teacher!”

Everyone cried out in surprise, and Jiang Xue immediately dashed to Zhou Xuanji.

“Are you guys doing well?” Zhou Xuanji asked them, smiling.

As he spoke, he opened his arms and hugged Jiang Xue.

As the two hugged, everyone laughed heartily.

“I miss you so much.”

Jiang Xue uttered softly as she wrapped her arms tightly around Zhou Xuanji. She was so afraid to be separated from Zhou Xuanji again.

“I miss you too,” he said gently as he stroked her hair.
