Creation of the Universe

This sudden change caught everyone present off guard.

Someone was so frightened that he exclaimed, "Who are they, assassins?"

"What the hell is going on? The city lord is not someone you can easily mess with!"

The crowd began to panic, and the guards guarding the city lord Baili Yu immediately surrounded them, but Baili Yu did not care.

He waved his hand and said calmly, "What kind of storm can these two ants cause? It's nothing to make a fuss about!"

"Everyone, get out of here!"

The guards retreated to their original positions like a tide. They obeyed Baili Yu's orders very strictly, which showed that the city lord's majesty could not be disrespected.

Shen Zhan raised his head and looked sideways. Although the two figures were only black in the sunlight and his appearance was completely invisible, he squinted his eyes slightly and could still recognize their identities.

It’s Xia Wenxiu and Dong Ping!

Not knowing what their purpose was, they actually acted so rashly. Shen Zhan remembered that Tang Muqing had mentioned in the restaurant before that Wuya Taoist Temple had a sword that could be called the most precious treasure of the mountain. It seemed that it was the Ruoshui Sword in front of him.

"Canglang!"

In mid-air, the sound of two people drawing their swords could be heard.

They simultaneously used their spiritual power to control their swords, chasing the Ruoshui Sword upwards. The latter circled a few times at high altitude, and then hovered in mid-air, as if waiting for the two swords below to catch up.

The three swords were driven by spiritual power at the same time. Such a scene was rare. Many people were amazed by it and forgot the danger for a moment. Instead, they stayed there for a long time and forgot what they wanted to do.

"Is this how you control a sword? Practitioners are truly capable! This is the first time I've seen it!"

Some saw more clues and confidently asserted, "These two people who suddenly appeared are no match for the City Lord. They are so reckless in angering the Lord, and their fate will definitely not be good!"

Sure enough, Xia Wenxiu and Dong Ping's swords tried many times to knock the Ruoshui Sword down from the air, but the combined power of the two swords was always unsuccessful. Instead, the Ruoshui Sword was extremely sharp and soon gained the upper hand.

As the fierce golden sound came from above his head, Shen Zhan concluded that Xia Wenxiu and Dong Ping had no chance of winning. It was not only because of the difference in the sword masters' skills, but more importantly, it was the huge difference between the two ordinary swords and the Ruoshui Sword.

In Shen Zhan's opinion, the Ruoshui Sword is at least a sixth-grade weapon, and it cannot be matched by two ordinary swords.

As expected, Baili Yu's eyes suddenly widened in anger, and he shouted, "Disciples of Wuya Daoyuan, from today on, you must obey my orders. Ruoshui Jian is here, how dare you be so presumptuous?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Ruoshui Sword swept out a dazzling sword light, almost covering a large area of ​​space in the air. Its sharpness was unstoppable.

In an instant, the two swords that were competing with the Ruoshui Sword broke under the powerful force and fell to the ground. Xia Wenxiu and Dong Ping were knocked to the ground almost at the same time.

Baili Yu looked at the two of them with an icy gaze and said in a deep voice, "You are so stubborn and overestimating your own abilities. How could Wuya Daoyuan have people like you who are so ignorant of current affairs?"

Xia Wenxiu wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said unyieldingly, "Baili Yu, you betrayed Wuya Daoyuan a long time ago. How dare you now represent Wuya Daoyuan and say you are submitting to the royal family of Weihai State? This is impossible!"

To her right, Dong Ping also stood up with difficulty and shouted angrily, "Traitor, you injured Senior-Master Ding Yi, stole the Ruoshui Sword, and even pretended to represent the Taoist academy and claimed to be loyal to the royal family. This is simply a joke. No disciple of Wuya Taoist academy would believe your nonsense!"

Baili Yu sneered contemptuously, and then a familiar figure walked out from the other side that was ignored by the crowd.

"Who says that any disciple of Wuya Daoyuan wouldn't accept this arrangement? I, Shangguan Jian, think this is great. It gives you and me the opportunity to realize our ambitions!"

"Shangguan Sword!"

Xia Wenxiu and Dong Ping didn't expect that at this time, Shangguan Jian would dare to appear in front of them with such a flattering face.

"Are you really going to betray the academy and your master?"

Shangguan Jian listened to Dong Ping's question and smiled, "Betrayal? I think what Uncle-Master said is right. What is the purpose of our hard training year after year in Wuya Taoist Temple?

Isn't it to stand out and make our names remembered by the world?

But Master is always stuck in the past and doesn't know how to adapt. So don't blame me for siding with Uncle Master. It's obvious that he's the one who truly cares about the future of Wuya Daoyuan. What do you know? "

From Shangguan Jian's attitude, it can be seen that he has completely embarked on a path of no return and is no longer the same as his fellow disciples.

Baili Yu was very satisfied with Shangguan Jian's performance and told Xia Wenxiu and Dong Ping, "It was your senior brother's outstanding performance that severely damaged Ding Yi and made her no longer a big problem. Since you two refuse to surrender, don't blame me for killing you without mercy!"

There was a strong murderous intent in his eyes, and Xia Wenxiu and Dong Ping had already been injured by the sword energy of Ruoshui Sword in the previous confrontation, and their situation was extremely dangerous.

"Even if I die today, I will never betray Wuya Daoyuan!"

"That's right, come on!"

Xia Wenxiu and Dong Ping were determined to die. Baili Yu once again drove the Ruoshui Sword down from the sky and headed straight for the two of them.

In a flash, there was a sudden loud crash, accompanied by a powerful spiritual power surging in all directions. Almost everyone was unable to open their eyes to see what was happening.

"What? Who is it?"

Baili Yu asked in a deep voice, but got a response from Shen Zhan, "It's a good sword, but it's a pity that it's so badly worn out in your hands."

As the spiritual power spread far away, everyone present could finally see the scene clearly again. As a result, they were shocked to find that a long sword had risen from the ground and was facing the Ruoshui Sword falling from the sky.

The two swords were facing each other, forming a stalemate of equal strength. From time to time, the two spiritual powers lingering on the swords could be heard the thrilling sound of breaking through the air.

"Master Shen!"

Xia Wenxiu and Dong Ping looked at Shen Zhan walking towards them in surprise, feeling happy but also very ashamed.

This was originally an internal matter of their Wuya Taoist Academy, and they really shouldn't have involved an outsider like Shen Zhan. But they were no match for Baili Yu. If Shen Zhan hadn't stepped in in time, he would have probably turned into a cold corpse by now.

Shangguan Jian was also surprised when he saw Shen Zhan. "It's you! How did you follow me here?"

"Although I don't know what's going on between you, I can't just leave it alone."

After Shen Zhan finished speaking, he turned to look at Shangguan Jian and said calmly: "It was my fault that I didn't kill you in the Spirit Beast Forest last time. I won't make the same mistake again today."
