Chapter 327 - Historical Legend Vs Modern Legend (1/2)

After Shi Shenzong descended, the atmosphere around Sword Emperor Canyon became quite lively.

Hundreds of thousands of people were shaken by Shi Shenzong’s aura, and they were all incredibly curious as to just how strong Shi Shenzong was.

With what they had currently sensed, they felt that no one could defeat the Sword Saint.

Time gradually passed, and more and more people arrived.

After another three days, there were more than one million cultivators gathered.

Princess Xuanya stood on her large leaf and looked around as she exclaimed, “So many people.”

Most of them were not ordinary people either.

If it was her, facing the gazes of so many cultivators, she would not even dare to fight.

Zhou Chengxin also felt quite amazed.

The allure of Sword Emperor Zhou Xuanji’s name was simply too powerful.

Before, Shi Shenzong had challenged other experts, but there had never been a scene like this.

At that moment, Yang Xindi and Great Chen’s Emperor arrived with their people, talking and laughing.

Seeing them, Zhou Chengxin hurriedly got up and welcomed them.

The three Emperors had already formed an alliance through letters, and after Zhou Chengxin invited them into his tent, they started to chat.

The topic was naturally Zhou Xuanji.

“20 years have passed, and the current Xuanji has greatly grown; don’t worry, everyone,” Zhou Chengxin said as he lightly swirled his wine cup.

Zhou Xuanji was terrifying in terms of his talent in the Way of the Sword and cultivation.

It had been many years since he had become second in the world, and now, no one could imagine how powerful he had become.

However, Shi Shenzong was too much of a legend, and his name was synonymous to invincibility in the hearts of the people of the Northern Wilderness.

Despite dying, he had died at his own hands.

Yang Xindi nodded and said, “The Sword Emperor’s talent is unparalleled, but he’s too young. In the future, his strength will definitely surpass Shi Shenzong’s. If he encounters any trouble, our three Empires can do our best to help him.”

Even though the three Empires did not have any peak level experts, they had their own foundations. If they rushed up together, it would not be too difficult to save Zhou Xuanji. After all, the Sword Saint cared about his reputation.

If he killed the most talented member of the younger generation, he would be condemned by the entire world.

The Emperor of Great Chen nodded; he was the one who did not want Zhou Xuanji to die the most—after all, his son was relying on Zhou Xuanji to teach him.

The three Emperors started to talk about their contingency plans for rescuing Zhou Xuanji.

In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed.

There were now over two million cultivators gathered around Sword Emperor Canyon. At a glance, the entire land was filled with figures, and there were many mighty looking mounts and subdued demons.

The vast majority of people would glance at Shi Shenzong, sitting on the massive stone sword, now and then.

Shi Shenzong was sitting cross-legged with his sword across his legs. He patiently waited, and his eyelids did not even flicker.

The Hegemon Sword Sect and Ten-thousand Swords Divine Mountain had all sent many cultivators to spectate.

The two factions were not too far away from each other, and there would often be conflict between the two. However, with Shi Shenzong here, they did not dare to make a big ruckus.

“Sect Lord, is it possible that the Sword Emperor won’t come?” A Hegemon Sword Sect disciple nervously asked.

Hearing this, the Sect Lord glared at him and cursed, “Shut your mouth.”

Lin Changge had already joined Zhou Xuanji, and if Zhou Xuanji lost face, Lin Changge would also be humiliated. As his father, he would also feel disgraced.

As such, no matter how much he didn’t like Zhou Xuanji, he still had to support Zhou Xuanji at a moment like this.

The Hegemon Sword Sect’s Sect Lord looked at Shi Haiming in the distance, and he could not help but gnash his teeth.

Before, he had always acted high and mighty towards Shi Haiming, but after Shi Shenzong had revived, the dynamic between them had completely reversed.

Sensing his gaze, Shi Haiming looked over at him, looking disdainful.

The Hegemon Sword Sect’s Sect Lord was so angry that he nearly rushed over.

It was not just them, the other spectating cultivators also felt quite annoyed.

If Zhou Xuanji did not dare to come and fight, wouldn’t they have come for nothing?
