Chapter 420 - Hegemon Sword Emperor’s Mood (1/2)

Three days later, Zhou Xuanji walked out of the Energy Technique Pavilion, and Fei Hai was already outside waiting.

“Senior, were you able to obtain a lot?” Fei Hai asked with an innocent smile, his eyes filled with admiration.

He also wanted to go into the Energy Technique Pavilion, but it was a pity it required too many Pure Spirit Pills.

All of his Pure Spirit Pills were used on cultivation.

To disciples like him who did not have very exceptional cultivation, Pure Spirit Pills were necessities for cultivation.

Zhou Xuanji lightly nodded and said, “It was decent.”

He had memorized all of the sword techniques in the Energy Technique Pavilion.

In the Great Thousand World, energy techniques, magic techniques, and divine abilities did not have very specific grades. However, Zhou Xuanji had a look and felt that all of these sword techniques were stronger than most of the Northern Wilderness’ sword techniques. As expected from the Divine Cliff.

The Divine Cliff was not a sect focused on the Way of the Sword so it did not have too many sword techniques, but the number was not small either. In total, Zhou Xuanji had memorized 400 sword techniques.

He planned to record all of these sword techniques after going back and put them in Emperor Sword Court’s Xuanji Sword Pavilion.

This was somewhat shameless, and Zhou Xuanji could only say sorry to the Divine Cliff. In the future, he would do his best to help the Divine Cliff.

The two of them returned to the residence, and found that there was a guest in the courtyard, which was Emissary Li Qing.

He was one of the Divine Cliff’s 36 Emissaries and held a high position. His cultivation was powerful, so the servants naturally invited him in.

Seeing Zhou Xuanji, Emissary Li Qing got up and smiled as he said, “Brother Zhou, I trust you have been well. The Divine Cliff has a mission that we would like you to take.”

He got straight to the point and did not waste any time.

Zhou Xuanji asked, “What is it?”

He felt quite startled; he had thought that the Divine Cliff would do anything to keep him safe and would not allow him to go out before he became powerful. He had never thought that he would receive a mission so soon.

Emissary Li Qing explained the details of the mission. It was naturally regarding Shi Shenzong becoming a Great Emperor, and hearing this, Zhou Xuanji laughed.

He had never thought that this fellow would become a Great Emperor as well.

Zhou Xuanji directly asked, “Is there enmity between Shi Shenzong and the Divine Cliff? To be honest, I quite like him.”

He had comprehended his Sword Souls from Shi Shenzong.

He had seen the true spirit of a Sword Saint from Shi Shenzong.

Emissary Li Qing felt quite surprised and his eyes narrowed as he said, “There is no enmity between him and the Divine Cliff, but there is enmity between the Hegemon Sword Emperor and the Divine Cliff.”

Zhou Xuanji understood and said, “I’ll do my best then.”

Everyone had their own to look out for, and there was not much to be said.

“In actuality, it’s fine to allow him to become a Great Emperor. If you can take the edge off the Hegemon Sword Sect, you will have completed your mission as well,” Emissary Li Qing said with a meaningful smile.

Zhou Xuanji raised his eyebrows and accepted the mission, and he asked when he would leave.

Emissary Li Qing replied, “Tomorrow, you will go with another Core Disciple, Lan Shangying. She will lead the way.”

Zhou Xuanji nodded and asked, “What if I accidentally reveal my identity?”

If it came to a matter of life and death, he might have to use his trump cards. Even if he didn’t, it was possible that some people would recognize him.

Emissary Li Qing laughed and said, “You’ve already become a Great Emperor and you have no time for the mortal realm. If you say you’re Ji Xuan and someone doesn’t believe you, ask them to go to the Divine Cliff to argue against us.”

Domineering!

Zhou Xuanji felt quite impressed.

In actuality, what Emissary Li Qing said was right. Zhou Xuanji had become a Great Emperor and was not in the Northern Wilderness. He was no longer the biggest obstacle to the plan of slaughtering the Northern Wilderness’ human race.

At least, not on the surface.

Emissary Li Qing chatted with him for a bit more out of courtesy before leaving.

Fei Hai asked in curiosity, “Senior, is your identity very special?”

Zhou Xuanji glanced at him and gave a smile that was not a smile. “It’s a secret. If you knew, you would die.”

Fei Hai was given a big fright and his entire body trembled as he quickly covered his mouth.

Time passed quickly.

Lan Shangying came to find Zhou Xuanji the next morning just as dawn broke.

Bai Suwan adamantly wanted to follow him, and because Zhou Xuanji could not convince her otherwise, he could only put her in his bosom.
