Chapter 893: The people of Beijing will be able to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival ahead of time?

The sun was setting, and the number of tourists in the forbidden city had slowly started to decrease.

However, in a place that ordinary people couldn’t see, several cultivators with bizarre outfits had quietly gathered together. Sword lights and magical treasures that the average human couldn’t see were continuously descending in this place.

Aside from the members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group, many other sharp-eyed and unfamiliar cultivators also came over and found a good place for themselves, getting ready all sorts of magical treasures or modified video cameras and pointing them toward the summit of the forbidden city.

“Eh? A lot of people came over today. How come there are so many people that know about the battle between Northern River and Copper Trigram?” Young Master Phoenix Slayer asked out of curiosity. He thought that only the fellow daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group would attend this event and support the contestants, and he completely hadn’t expected that so many unfamiliar cultivators would come as well.

The suns.h.i.+ne boy-version Medicine Master faintly smiled, and said, “As far as I know, some of these fellow daoists were invited here by Northern River’s Loose Cultivator himself. Among them are the reporters of the [Daily Cultivator], the disciples of the [Secret Information Center], the members of the [Shengang Broadcasting Station], and so on.”

Northern River’s Loose Cultivator wanted this fight to become big news. He wanted this battle that was going to take place on the summit of the forbidden city to be broadcast live!

“It seems that Fellow Daoist Northern River is very sure of himself this time,”

True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon said with a smile.

Since he was so sure to win, Northern River’s Loose Cultivator had invited over the reporters of the [Daily Cultivator] and asked them to stream the battle live.

After smiling, True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon also started to get worried. He actually b.u.mped into Immortal Master Copper Trigram last week, and he felt that there was something wrong with him—even though he was unable to tell what exactly was wrong.

Would Northern River’s Loose Cultivator really be able to defeat the mysterious Copper Trigram?

Riverly Purple Mist grabbed Medicine Master’s hand, and asked out of curiosity, “Where is Fellow Daoist Northern River at this moment?”

“Now that you mention it, I haven’t seen him around lately. During the past few days, he rarely got online, and when I wrote in the group, Northern River’s Loose Cultivator wasn’t the first one to reply. It felt really weird,” Young Master Phoenix Slayer replied.

“I think Fellow Daoist Northern River is hiding on purpose so as to avoid giving Copper Trigram an opportunity to discover the cards in his hand. It’s very likely that Northern River won’t appear before the start of the battle,” Fairy Firefly, who was wearing a red dress, said.

Three Realms looked all around, and asked out of curiosity, “In that case, what about Senior Copper Trigram?”

Even the other star of today’s match had yet to make its appearance. Other than that, little friend Song Shuhang’s group was missing as well.

True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon shrugged his shoulders, and said, “Fellow Daoist Copper Trigram might already be here… After all, unless he personally steps forward, no one will be able to recognize him.”

Immortal Master Copper Trigram’s disguising technique was truly terrific—not even a Seventh Stage Venerable was able to see through it. Perhaps not even an Eighth Stage Profound Sage might be able to recognize him.

Night slowly fell.

The number of cultivators surrounding the forbidden city kept increasing.

“When is this battle going to start?” Young Master Phoenix Slayer took out a small bag of melon seeds, sharing them with the nearby fellow daoists.

“I have no idea, either. However, we just have to wait here, and we’ll know,” Medicine Master said with a smile.

“It’s a shame that there isn’t a full moon tonight. Otherwise, the atmosphere during the battle between those two experts would have been even better,” Sun Splitting Halberd Guo Da said this sentence, and then took out his mobile phone, quickly sending two messages in the group.

In the Nine Provinces Number One Group.

Sun Splitting Halberd Guo Da: “[Picture of a cute puppy].”

Sun Splitting Halberd Guo Da: “[Picture of the head of a dog being furiously rubbed].”

Today, everyone was paying attention to the battle that was going to take place on the summit of the forbidden city. Therefore, no one was going to break his combo.

Sun Splitting Halberd Guo Da put his mobile phone away, looking very satisfied.

But for some unknown reason, he was a bit disappointed when he saw that no one tried to break his combo.

The human heart was truly unfathomable.

Around ten minutes later.

Young Master Phoenix Slayer suddenly raised his head, and said, “Someone is coming!”

A sword light quickly approached afar.

This sword light was extremely fast. It was the fastest sword light that Young Master Phoenix Slayer had seen in his life!

The projection of a dragon tail was faintly visible at the end of this sword light.

True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon narrowed his eyes, and said, “It’s Fellow Daoist White. He has finally arrived.”

Young Master Phoenix Slayer said, “Why do I feel that Senior White’s speed is even higher than usual?”

“It’s indeed somewhat faster than usual. You can tell by looking at little friend Song Shuhang’s green complexion. The last time Fellow Daoist White brought little friend Song Shuhang somewhere at full speed, his complexion was only pale. But this time, it directly turned green. It’s quite obvious that Fellow Daoist White’s speed has increased by a notch. I’m afraid that Fellow Daoist White’s speed today isn’t going to be much inferior to that of an Eighth Stage Sage Monarch,” True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon said with a nod.

Young Master Phoenix Slayer nodded to himself. Later, he could use little friend Song Shuhang’s complexion to determine the speed of a flying sword.

For example, the speed where little friend Shuhang’s complexion turns pale, the speed where little friend Shuhang’s complexion turns deathly pale, the speed where little friend Shuhang’s complexion turns green, and so on.

“Little friend Shuhang is finally here.” After Senior Brother Three Realms saw Song Shuhang—as well as Guoguo, s.h.i.+, and Zhu in the rear—he heaved a sigh of relief.

In the end, Venerable White’s flying sword steadily stopped above their heads.
