"Let me explain instead."
Before Leng Duo could speak, the White Lotus Saintess spoke first, "Young master Tianque is one of the Five Great Young Masters of Tianyuan Holy Island. I'm sure this brother knows that Tianyuan Holy Island is divided into inner and outer sects. Aside from that, there are also five true disciples, the Five Great Young Masters."
Tianyuan Holy Island?
Wang Yan was rather surprised. He indeed did not know much about this, but after hearing the White Lotus Saintess' words, Wang Yan quickly thought of the Five Colored Wheel. Tianyuan Holy Island was not actually a single entity. It was merely an alliance established by the five great cultivation sects of the central province. Since it just so happened that there were five true disciples, didn't that mean that every single one of them represented a sect? From the looks of it, the so-called Five Great Young Masters probably held quite a high position on Tianyuan Holy Island.
"This time, young master Tianque will be leaving Tianyuan Holy Island to travel the five provinces. However, it's called traveling in name, but it's actually a task of supervision. Once he's done, he'll be holding a Martial Assembly at Mt. Firecloud in Qiyun Prefecture. News of this has already spread throughout the jianghu. It's said that the Martial Assembly will be held around the eleventh month. Although young master Tianque hasn't left Tianyuan Holy Island for long, many people have already received invitations. These people are all the cream of the crop among the younger generation.
With the Blood Demon Sword's reputation, I believe that he'll also receive an invitation soon. "
The White Lotus Saintess had actually recognized Wang Yan. When she announced Wang Yan's name, everyone present could not help but take a few steps back, as if afraid that they would be caught in an undeserved calamity if they got too close to Wang Yan. A hint of shock appeared on Leng Duo's face. Then, he seemed to think of something, and a strange look appeared in his eyes.
Wang Yan did not care about the reactions of the people around him. He only said, "Since young master Tianque has personally sent out an invitation, why would anyone dare to wantonly snatch it?"
The White Lotus Saintess shook her head and said, "It's just a method of breeding insects. This time, Tian Que Young Master has invited all titled experts of the Nurturing Embryo Stage under the age of thirty. However, the invitations don't specify their names, so they can be snatched away. When the time comes, as long as they have the invitations, they can participate in the Martial Arts Symposium.
And now, although Young Master Tian Que hasn't said it clearly, there are already many rumors in the pugilistic world. It is said that Young Master Tian Que has taken out many treasures for this Martial Arts Symposium. It is even said that whoever wins first place in the Martial Arts Symposium will obtain a complete Earth Level Secret Manual from Tianyuan Holy Island! "
Earth Level Secret Manual!
Wang Yan's eyes were filled with surprise. He had never imagined that Young Master Tian Que would be so generous, taking out such a supreme secret manual as the prize of the Martial Arts Symposium. It was truly hard to imagine. However, Wang Yan changed his mind. Why would Young Master Tian Que do this? Was it just to catch a glimpse of the strongest of the younger generation? I'm afraid it won't be that simple.
As Wang Yan's eyes flickered, he was naturally pondering whether or not he should participate in the Martial Arts Symposium. He obviously did not want to miss out on a supreme secret manual like the Earth Level Secret Manual, but he had a feeling that this matter would not be so simple.
As he pondered, Wang Yan silently stood where he was. When Leng Duo saw this, he quietly retreated. This guy knew that he would not be able to defeat Wang Yan. In addition, Wang Yan's fierce reputation was known to the outside world. He did not want to lose his life in vain. However, he had only retreated a few steps when Wang Yan's cold voice came from the side.
"Did I say you can leave?"
Since Leng Duo was a newly promoted titled expert, Wang Yan naturally would not let such a large amount of experience slip away from him. As a result, before he had even finished speaking, he had already appeared in front of Leng Duo with a flash. Leng Duo only felt his vision blur. In the next moment, a cold light flashed past his neck. Leng Duo did not wait helplessly for death. However, before he could even strike out with his palms, a line of blood had appeared on his neck.
Even though players had been strengthened, in a one-on-one fight, a higher level of martial arts was still a higher level. Moreover, Leng Duo was a bladesman. Without a blade in his hand, how could he fight back?
"Wang … Yan, your … death … is coming … soon."
Leng Duo spat out these harsh words before collapsing to the ground with extreme reluctance. As a large amount of blood flowed out, he very quickly lost all signs of life. Wang Yan had heard such harsh words many times, so he did not take them to heart. He then turned to the White Lotus Saintess and said, "I would like to invite the Saintess to drink with me. What do you think, Saintess?"
"It is my honor to be invited by the Blood Demon Sword."
The White Lotus Saintess happily agreed. When Wang Yan saw this, he said, "At a quarter to the afternoon, Wang Yan will be waiting for the Saintess at the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant in the city."
With that, Wang Yan collected the spoils of war from Yan Xihua and Leng Duo. Then, he turned around and floated away with a tap of his foot. Seeing that Wang Yan had left, a monk near the White Lotus Saintess said, "Saintess, this Wang Yan is infamous. I'm afraid that he does not have good intentions in inviting you to a banquet. Saintess …"
The White Lotus Saintess waved her hand and interrupted him. She said, "Back then, when master Tianxing was young, he was also known as the Bloody-Handed Butcher. However, Dharmaraja Lun Dao was on very good terms with him, and the previous sect master even made a great deal of effort to befriend him, personally instructing master Tianxing. If it weren't for that, how could our holy church achieve its current status in the Northern Victory Province?
Befriending these peak geniuses has always been the duty of us Saintesses. Although the Blood Demon Sword is infamous, just look at how quickly he has risen. Who knows if he won't become the next Zong Wanliu? "
The monk was speechless when he heard the White Lotus Saintess' words. He quietly withdrew. The White Lotus Saintess then turned to look at Wang Yan's departing figure. Her eyes flickered with a strange light.
After Wang Yan left, he naturally met up with Guibo. However, he was still thinking about the Martial Arts Symposium. As soon as he saw Guibo, he told him everything about young master Tian Que and the Martial Arts Symposium. In the end, he said, "Guibo, what does young master Tian Que want with this?"
Guibo shook his head and said, "The actions of cultivators have always been hard to predict. It's hard to guess his true intentions. However, the Five Great Young Masters have high statuses and are incomparable to ordinary inner sect disciples. There might be a deeper meaning to this. Also, the rumor that the reward of the Book of the Earth is too exaggerated. Even those old monsters would be tempted by such an item. Who knows what kind of storm it will cause. If you want to participate in the Martial Arts Symposium, you must be careful. "
Wang Yan nodded and said, "The Five Great Young Masters should each represent a sect?"
"That's right."
"Then does young master Tian Que come from the Clear Sky sect behind my Aojian Villa?"
Guibo shook his head and said, "Young master Tian Que comes from the Blood Melt Sect. Although I don't know much about cultivators, I've heard from the Young Master Three that the cultivators of the Blood Melt Sect mostly use living people as sacrifices to refine their cultivation methods. They're a demonic sect through and through. The cultivators of the sect are all known as demonic cultivators in the middle province. The Blood Melt Sect is even known as the number one demonic sect in the middle province. These people act according to their will, and their methods are completely unrestrained. It's exactly because of this that I told you to be careful."
Demonic cultivators? Using living people as sacrifices?
Although Wang Yan did not completely understand the meaning behind it, he felt a chill run down his spine. He immediately wanted to say something, but at that moment, Wang Yan saw three emerald green flames suddenly appear nearby. In the next moment, the three emerald green flames arrived several meters in front of him, and a sinister voice rang out in his ears.
