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

After walking out of the residence, he saw Lan Shangying.

She was wearing a blue dress and had a slim and elegant figure. She had a delicate and pretty-looking face but her expression was quite cool. She gave off the airs of a goddess, holy and not to be sullied.

Before, Zhou Xuanji had seen her when he had visited Han Xuzi.

Lan Shangyin gave a slight nod and said, “Let’s go.”

After speaking, she held her sword sheath as she stood on her sword and flew off, and Zhou Xuanji followed behind her.

The two of them flew through the clouds and did not talk.

She did not speak, and Zhou Xuanji did not bother with small talk either.

On the other hand, Bai Suwan was very excited; she poked out her head and continuously chattered.

The first time Zhou Xuanji had heard her voice, he had thought that she was a relatively introverted female demon. Only after becoming familiar with her did he realize that it was all a sham.

The two of them began to fly quicker and quicker.

Lan Shangying was testing Zhou Xuanji, and she found that no matter how quickly she traveled, Zhou Xuanji could keep up with her.

“Fifth Revolution Golden Immortal; did he really only just ascend?” She felt quite startled and became even more curious about Zhou Xuanji.

After passing through a large area of fog, Zhou Xuanji could finally see the ground. Below, mountains and forest rose up, and birds spiraled in the air.

At a glance, they could see many cities, towns, and villages.

The Great Thousand World was actually just like the Northern Wilderness; it was just bigger and had denser spirit qi.

…

Within a barren land, Shi Shenzong sat cross-legged on a large boulder as he internalized qi.

1,000 meters away, there were sword cultivators all around him, warily looking around and protecting him.

The Hegemon Sword Emperor was also present.

He was tall and muscular and sat on a golden seat. Both his hands were on his sword, and the tip of the sword stabbed into the rock beneath his feet.

He wore a robe with black armor within it. His black hair blew in the wind, and his aura seemed incredibly berserk, as if he was not a sword emperor but a shocking demon king.

His gaze towards Shi Shenzong was filled with anticipation.

He had never doubted Shi Shenzong’s talent; after all, Shi Shenzong was the person he respected the most. Even though there was often conflict between the two of them, their relationship had never changed.

A sword cultivator appeared next to him and half-knelt as he said in a low voice, “Sect Master, according to the information, Nangong Lie is bringing over 100 Golden Immortals this way.”

Hearing this, the Hegemon Sword Emperor’s eyes flashed as he muttered, “As expected, the information was leaked.”

He could not help but feel quite frustrated.

He was quite powerful, but he could not sweep across the Center God Province. After all, he had only ascended for 10,000 years and the Hegemon Sword Sect that he had established was not powerful enough. As such, he needed to have Shi Shenzong become a Great Emperor.

“Continue scouting,” the Hegemon Sword Emperor said in a low voice, and the cultivator immediately left.

His gaze turned to Shi Shenzong again.

As long as Shi Shenzong could become a Great Emperor, any sacrifice would be worth it!

He suddenly thought of Zhou Xuanji. Compared to that boy’s talent, Shi Shenzong would seem quite mediocre.

In fact, it could be said that Zhou Xuanji had the greatest talent in the history of the Northern Wilderness. It was a pity that he was adamant on protecting the Northern Wilderness. There was something wrong with his head, and he would be doomed sooner or later.

However, he was still appreciative of Zhou Xuanji.

Back in the legacy world, some words from Zhou Xuanji had caused him to break through in his Way of the Sword, resulting in his strength greatly increasing. As such, he had once wanted to rope in Zhou Xuanji.

It was a pity that that fellow was simply too incredible.

Before he had ascended, he had caused so much of a commotion that almost everyone in the Center God Province knew of him.

Every time he thought of this, the Hegemon Sword Emperor would feel quite angry about Zhou Xuanji failing to meet his expectations.

Of course, in a way, Zhou Xuanji had completely exceeded his expectations too.

Boom!

At that moment, an explosion sounded out, snapping the Hegemon Sword Emperor out of his thoughts and causing him to turn. Shi Shenzong exploded out with magical energy, and traces of wind circled around his body, causing the ground to tremble and for thunderclouds to gather.

He was preparing to become a Great Emperor!

Before, Shi Shenzong had already defeated ten Great Emperor Candidates and had been ready for a while. However, before becoming a Great Emperor, he first comprehended more of his Way of the Sword, causing him to gain even greater enlightenment.
