The Unparalleled Sword Emperor

Chapter 2849 - 2824: Battle of Tianjiao, The Curtain Rises!

When Emperor Lou Nan was chatting idly with the eunuch beside him, the eunuch looked up and said with a slight smile, "Your Majesty, it seems that the two Sword Venerables from the Ed Clan have also arrived.""However, it seems they, along with elders from their respective families, stand in the clouds and have not shown themselves!"

"Oh?" Emperor Lou Nan smiled, turned his head, and saw that above Mu Mountain, within the clouds, there seemed to be certain powerful forces swirling slowly.

When a warrior tried to sense the clouds, they were completely rebounded by them.

Needless to say, within these clouds dwell remarkable figures.

Emperor Lou Nan said, "Yejian Jun is the most outstanding Tianjiao in the Sword God Family today, while Lin Bai is the Saint of the East Continent; these two, one represents the most remarkable genius of the East Continent, the other represents the most outstanding Tianjiao of the Northern Continent!"

"This battle will naturally draw high attention!"

"Just you wait, after today’s battle ends, regardless of who wins or loses, within two days, news of this duel between these exceptional Tianjiao will spread like wildfire across the Barbaric Ancient Continent!"

Emperor Lou Nan said in a low voice.

...

On the north side of Mu Mountain, a group of wealthy middle-aged men surrounded a young man, laughing and chatting.

If Lin Bai saw this young man, he would certainly be surprised; this person was the Qian surname man he met briefly in Meng Gu City, named Qian Mu!

Beside Qian Mu, the strong man Big Bull and the beautiful maiden followed closely as usual.

But at this moment, beside Qian Mu, there were also more than a dozen wealthy middle-aged men clad in splendid robes, adorned with gold and jade, lacking the imperial grandeur of Emperor Lou Nan’s power, but exuding a worldly merchant’s vibe!

These more than a dozen wealthy middle-aged men were precisely the high-ranking figures of the Fighting Arena on the Northern Continent, each nearly causing the whole Northern Continent to tremble three times when they walked out.

"So, he is Lin Bai, Saint of the East Continent. No wonder, when I saw him in Meng Gu City, his name felt so familiar!" Qian Mu said with a light smile.

The strong man Big Bull and the beautiful maiden also looked at Lin Bai, their eyes flashing with a faint glow.

More than a dozen wealthy middle-aged men around Qian Mu said, "Heh, heh, Young Master Qian Mu, who would have thought you had heard of Lin Bai’s name even in the Central Holy Nation."

Qian Mu said, "Humph, humph, the East Continent Academy is a superpower that can stand alongside the Central Holy Nation, the Saint of the East Continent naturally wouldn’t be weak!"

"Besides, when the Saint of the East Continent was born, the Central Holy Nation even sent warriors to the East Continent to present gifts, congratulating the birth of the Saint of the East Continent!"

"On that day, my Wealth God Clan also presented many gifts!"

"And it was I who personally delivered them to the East Continent Academy!"

"But unfortunately... when I went to the East Continent Academy, I did not meet this Saint; the East Continent Academy said Lin Bai had already gone out traveling, so I never had a good impression of this Saint of the East Continent!"

"Most importantly, this person had a bit of a grudge with me in Meng Gu City!"

Recalling that time in Meng Gu City when Lin Bai forcibly ordered ten thousand jugs of Moon River Fine Wine, Qian Mu still felt a pang in his heart—those were spirit liquids of great value!

Upon hearing Qian Mu’s grudge against Lin Bai, more than a dozen wealthy middle-aged men quickly felt awkward. They originally wanted to inform Qian Mu that Lin Bai used to be the Undefeated General of Black Water City, but they refrained from mentioning it.

Qian Mu sat down and laughed, "Very well, today we shall sit down and watch whether it is the Saint of the East Continent who is strong or the Sword Child of the Sword God Family who is powerful!"

"This battle, regardless of the outcome, is likely to mark the beginning of confrontations among the young Tianjiao across the Barbaric Ancient Continent!"

Qian Mu laughed lightly.

More than a dozen wealthy middle-aged men spoke in terrified voices, "Young Master Qian Mu, is this battle really so significant?"

Qian Mu smiled, "Of course, a confrontation between the number one Tianjiao of the East Continent and the number one Tianjiao of the Northern Continent will undoubtedly stir a storm across the Barbaric Ancient Continent, and Tianjiao from all over the continent will emerge!"

"In fact, there are no exceptions to this!"

"Coincidentally, the timing is just right; most of the young generation of Tianjiao is about to step into the Wending Realm, reaching the peak state of the Barbaric Ancient Continent!"

"Perhaps in the Northern Continent, you haven’t paid much attention to these things!"

"But our Wealth God Clan has observed them very clearly!"

"On the Barbaric Ancient Continent, every two decades, inevitably a group of Tianjiao will emerge and sweep through the world in an invincible manner!"

"Without fail!"

"Just over twenty years ago, the Heaven-defying Sword Cultivator Lin Duo, the now ruler of the Lan Clan Lan Ling, Lord of Kunxu Li Zhengyi, the Sword God Family’s Fu Qingshuang... weren’t they the ones who swept the world more than twenty years ago?"

"Only, unfortunately, these people didn’t know their limits and offended the wrong people!"

Qian Mu said coldly with a smile.

When these more than a dozen wealthy middle-aged men heard Qian Mu mention these names, they turned pale and shivered uncontrollably, forcing out awkward laughs and daring not to continue the conversation.

After all, the names of these people have become taboo existences in the Barbaric Ancient Continent today.

"This battle will open the contention among the young generation of the Barbaric Ancient Continent and signify the formal retirement of the older generation of strong ones!" Qian Mu said in a low voice.

...

In just half a day, countless warriors gathered around Mu Mountain; some were hiding in the shadows observing, while others stepped out openly, seeking the best positions to await the start of the Martial Arts Competition.

And those who could make it to Mu Mountain now were either some powerful forces on the Northern Continent or pinnacle experts from some city; undoubtedly, there were no weaklings.

At this moment, within a dense forest, a middle-aged man in a black robe, accompanied by an extraordinary and enchanting woman, stepped out from the woods and stood on a tree branch, looking at Lin Bai on Mu Mountain.

"It seems he has already found the Water Mirror Sword," the black-robed middle age said indifferently, "otherwise, with his character, he would never forcefully take action against Yejian Jun!"

The enchanting woman nodded and replied, "I just didn’t expect him to actually want to battle Yejian Jun; what for? Do they have a previous grudge?"

The black-robed middle-aged man said, "I’m not very clear about this matter either; it’s Su Yanhua and Xun Zhizang handling things in the Territory of all nations, but I did hear some news from them!"

"It is said that in the Territory of all nations, Lin Bai once had some intrigue with a woman, and supposedly this woman became pregnant with Lin Bai’s child. Unfortunately... in the Battle of the Miracle Ridge, to save Lin Bai, the woman was forced to death by Yejian Jun and others!"

"And the child... too..."

The black-robed middle-aged man shook his head slightly, unable to continue as he spoke to this point: "It is precisely because of this that Lin Bai’s rage led to the bloodbath of the Lingnan 72 States in the Territory of all nations!"

The enchanting woman said in astonishment, "So that’s how it is!"

These two were, indeed, none other than the hurrying Fu Qingshuang and Hu Xiner from the East Continent!
