Chapter 233: Chapter 234: The Sect Leader with the Black Veiled Hat
Translator: 549690339
After sitting down, the Commandery Princesses, Female Marquises, and Female City Lords had snow-bright eyes, as if they had seen an extraordinary treasure.
They all stared at Zhu Minglang, and then started discussing among themselves, which made Zhu Minglang feel, when she accidentally caught their gazes, that they wanted to kidnap her!
Fortunately, Nan Lingsha was there to protect her.
Those female dignitaries clearly realized that the first woman to reach the mountain was no ordinary person.
A powerful man is the best backdrop to a woman’s status, even if she does nothing and wears no gold or jewels.
“So, the swordsmanship exchange, can it begin now?” Wu Feng spoke up at this moment.
They still had to attend to official business. Wu Feng, Hao Ye, and Yun Zhonghe, though still squatting on their cushions, were accustomed to training in this posture within the Yaoshan Sword Sect, so they no longer bothered about it, especially since Zhu Minglang had already helped them vent some anger.
“Of course, could we perhaps have Master Wu Feng here demonstrate the Fighting Sword Sect technique of your esteemed faction?” the Sect Leader in the black veil spoke.
She didn’t care at all about Lin Min’s failure from the Sect Forest.
It was as if she already knew Lin Min was no match for Zhu Minglang.
“Hold on a moment,” Zhu Minglang suddenly interjected.
“Mr. Zhu should not be too presumptuous. After all, Lin Min’s strength is not among the finest in our Miao Mountain Sword Sect,” a senior elder said.
“What about Wen Lingfei? I didn’t come here this time to challenge the nameless juniors on your side,” Zhu Minglang said.
The Sect Forest’s Lin Min, still struggling to catch his breath, nearly spat out a mouthful of clotted blood!
To kill not only the body but the spirit as well!
It was too much to bear!
Just as the elder was about to speak, the Sect Leader in the black veil raised her hand.
The Hall Master beneath the black veil slowly lifted it to reveal a face of stunning beauty, her eyes carrying hints of confidence, a touch of jest, and a sense of pride.
Zhu Minglang’s mouth fell open.
It was her!!
How had she become the Sect Leader!!
Wen Lingfei had actually become the Miao Mountain Sword Sect Leader???
What were those Hall Masters and elders doing? How could a woman not yet thirty years old have become their Miao Mountain Sword Sect Leader!!
Wu Feng of the Yaoshan Sword Sect, Yun Zhonghe, Hao Ye, and Shao Ying were all stupefied as well.
They had assumed the Sect Leader wearing the black veil to be a middle-aged woman, or perhaps an old lady; who could have guessed she would be so young? If it weren’t for her attire being a bit dignified and her demeanor graceful, one could easily mistake her for an ordinary female disciple!
Is this the premier Sword Master of the Miao Mountain Sword Sect, becoming the Sect Leader at such a young age?
What, then, was her current cultivation base and realm???
“Since you have abandoned your path as a Sword Cultivator and have started anew, there is no need for us to compete. Furthermore, in my heart, the only one worthy of being my match is your master, Zhu Xuehen…” the Black Veil Hall Master Wen Lingfei said.
This situation was both expected and unexpected.
Back when she infiltrated the sect gate, the only person Zhu Minglang couldn’t overcome was this Wen Lingfei, whose cultivation and Sword Territory were above her own.
Although she had reached that level herself within a couple of years after that incident, the opponent would also improve, and perhaps even faster than herself.
Challenge Wen Lingfei?
Of course, that wasn’t Zhu Minglang’s purpose in asking the question.
Wen Lingfei boasted a high realm, a strong cultivation base, and should be no different from those at the Sword Master level.
Most Sword Masters in the Miao Mountain Sword Sect likely had their own quiet cultivation spots and seldom directly sat in charge of the Miao Mountain Sword Pavilion or Sword Manor. That Ancient Lantern Jade Tower was behind the Sword Pavilion, so Zhu Minglang first figured out where the experts of the Miao Mountain Sword Sect were. This would make stealing the jade easier!
So, the Hall Master in the Black Veil turned out to be Wen Lingfei.
Then things would be easy.
Meng Bingci was in the Waterfall House, which was far from here.
There was also a Miao Mountain Leader who seemed to have gone travelling, according to what Zhu Minglang had inadvertently heard Bai Qin’an mention.
So, it seemed that there were no overly powerful figures guarding that ancient jade tower of the Miao Mountain Sword Sect.
“Let’s find a suitable opportunity to make a move soon,” Zhu Minglang signaled to Nan Lingsha with his eyes.
Nan Lingsha nodded in agreement.
The exchange officially started, and Wu Feng had Hao Ye demonstrate some of Yao Mountain Sword Sect’s Fighting Sword Faction Sword Techniques to the members of the Miao Mountain Sword Sect.
“Our Yao Mountain Fighting Sword is best represented by this ‘Seventeen Sword Meteor Formation.’” While saying this, Hao Ye had already executed the Swords Descend Formation sword technique.
In the Swords Descend Formation, each sword was considered a fine treasure of the Sect Forest, and the descendants of Yao Mountain Sword Sect had condensed them into a vast formation, which in turn evolved into a sword technique.
“I, Hao Ye, am not very talented. I can only execute up to eight swords,” Hao Ye said as he completed the eighth Sword Meteor.
At that moment, the Sword Pavilion’s plateau was filled with striking sword pits, and one could still see the remnants of the Sword Meteor Shadows stuck near the mountain steps. The presence was monumental, the power immense.
“Our Yao Mountain Fighting Sword emphasizes bold and broad strokes, and we pursue the utmost power in each stroke,” Wu Feng explained from the side.
“With the eight swords already being so majestic, I wonder how startling the ninth and tenth swords would be?” A Swordswoman Elder from the Fighting Sword Faction obviously found the Sword Meteor Sword Technique very interesting.
“There are only a few people in our sect who can comprehend more than ten swords. At the moment, no one can perform the complete Seventeen Meteor Swords,” Wu Feng said.
“Hall Master Wu Feng, we look forward to the ninth and tenth swords. How about you give us a demonstration?” Master Wen spoke up.
From the expressions of the members of the Miao Mountain Sword Sect, it was clear that the Sword Meteor Sword Technique was indeed one of the most superior sword techniques in the world. Each strike had a feel of overturning seas and moving mountains, and even a person with a lower cultivation base, if they could comprehend the subsequent Sword Meteors, could even defeat someone with a higher cultivation base.
“About that…” Wu Feng hesitated.
“Could it be that the subsequent Sword Meteors are secret techniques of your faction, and you are unwilling to disclose them to outsiders?” The Fighting Sword Faction Swordswoman Elder spoke earlier queried.
“That’s not the case. Since we are here to exchange, we naturally will not hide anything. However, although I am also from the Fighting Sword Faction, the style I follow is not from the Sword Meteor Sword Technique lineage; thus, I have never practiced this sword technique… How about letting my junior brother demonstrate for everyone instead?” Wu Feng said awkwardly.
Not all sword masters of the Yao Mountain Sword Sect would learn the Sword Meteor Sword Technique.
After all, sword techniques and sword schools have many branches, just like how Dragon Shepherds also pursue dragons and dragon beasts of different attributes and abilities.
“I don’t have the cultivation base, I can’t perform it,” Zhu Minglang shook his head.
“Just go through the motions. It doesn’t matter if you lack the special effects, right?” Wu Feng said.
“Zhu Minglang, how many swords can you use?” Wen Lingfei asked.
“He should be able to reach twelve swords,” Wu Feng answered for Zhu Minglang.
Wen Mengru and Bai Qin’an couldn’t help but turn their attention to Zhu Minglang.
They remembered that back on Nine Army Tomb Mountain, Zhu Minglang seemed to have only executed roughly the same number of sword moves as Hao Ye. Could it be that he was holding back his true strength at that time?
