Seeing that Fairy Ying was fine, Xing Jue headed to Winged City with the Beast Emperor.
Winged City was far away, but with the Beast Emperor's abilities, it was as if it was within reach. They arrived in a breath's time.
At this moment, a majestic plaza appeared before Xing Jue's eyes. It was made of azure gemstones, and there were faintly discernible runes all over the place. This was a huge formation.
However, compared to the plaza, what attracted Xing Jue's attention more were the people gathered in the plaza.
After probing with his soul, Xing Jue discovered that there were over a thousand Asura Battle Emperors and six Asura Battle Sages.
These six people included the Immortal Emperor and the old monster who had fought with the Immortal Emperor earlier.
The old monster's severed arm had already grown back, and he seemed to be in high spirits, as if he hadn't been affected in the slightest. This was enough to show how extraordinary the Immortal Herb King was.
Apart from the Beast Emperor and the old monster, there were also four Asura Battle Sages. This was the first time Xing Jue had seen them, and they weren't from the eight ancient races. They seemed to be eccentrics of the Sacred Region.
After all, the eight ancient races didn't represent everything in the Sacred Region. There were still many experts, but they kept a low profile and weren't well known.
At this moment, three men and one woman were standing in a corner. There wasn't much difference between the three men. They were all old men, but they exuded a fearsome aura.
As for the old lady, she was rather eye-catching. Although her face was full of wrinkles, she still wore heavy makeup. If one had to describe her, 'monster' would be the most suitable word to describe her.
In terms of appearance, the old lady was definitely more terrifying than the Immortal Herb King. However, her aura was slightly weaker.
Overall, among the six Asura Battle Sages, the Beast Emperor was superior. This was a good thing for Xing Jue.
After all, everyone here wanted to obtain the King's Blade, and the six Asura Battle Sages had the highest chance of obtaining it.
If strength was the key to obtaining the King's Blade, then the demon thearch was obviously the most promising. To Xing Jue, this was naturally a good thing.
Perhaps everyone present had also thought of this, so when the Demon Emperor and Xing Jue appeared, everyone nodded at the Demon Emperor in a friendly manner, except for the other five Asura Battle-Saints.
Even their gazes towards Xing Jue were filled with respect. Of course, this respect was not because of Xing Jue's strength, but because of the relationship between Xing Jue and the Demon Emperor.
"Sorry for the long wait."
Just as Xing Jue was observing the situation before him, a woman's voice suddenly rang out in the air.
Looking over, there were close to a hundred people slowly descending from the sky in an orderly formation. They were the Winged Race.
Every one of them was thousands of years old, but every one of them maintained their youthful appearance. Their cultivation was at the level of a high-level Asura Battle Emperor.
As for the leader, she was even more dazzling. She had an enchanting figure, a charming face, and a pair of almond-shaped eyes that could captivate one's soul. Her exposed fair skin and half of her breasts made one's heart beat faster.
However, this woman was obviously not only beautiful, but she was also an Asura Battle Sage. Furthermore, her aura could actually compete with the Demon Emperor.
"The Winged Race really lives up to its reputation."
When this group of people appeared, Xing Jue could be considered to have truly come into contact with the higher-ups of the Winged Race. Moreover, these higher-ups of the Winged Race did not disappoint Xing Jue. They indeed had extraordinary abilities.
"This woman is called Yi Xun 'er. She is the current leader of the Winged Race. The annual Blade Drawing Conference will be hosted by her."
As Xing Jue was sizing up the woman, the Demon Emperor beside him secretly told him the woman's identity.
"The leader of the Winged Race?"
Xing Zhi was startled in his heart when he heard the Monstrous Emperor's words. However, he was not too surprised. Currently, the chiefs of the eight ancient clans had already changed. It was reasonable for the Winged clan to change chiefs. Moreover, this lady called Yi Xun Er did indeed have the qualifications to be the chief.
In reality, Xing Jue really wanted to ask the Demon Emperor about the previous leader of the Winged Race, Yi Guiqi.
Back then, the relationship between the Spirit Eater Race and the Winged Race was not close, and Hun Wuji and Yi Guiqi did not have much contact.
However, after the Spirit Eater Race was exterminated by God, Yi Guiqi's actions were known to the world. He was the one who buried the dead members of the Spirit Eater Race.
So, no matter what, Xing Jue was grateful to Yi Guiqi from the bottom of his heart.
Now that he had come to the territory of the Winged Race, he naturally wanted to know if Yi Guiqi was still alive. However, thinking of the current situation, he did not speak.
After all, there were countless experts. With his strength, it was very likely that his voice would be heard by others. So, it was better to be careful.
After Yi Xun 'er appeared, it caused quite a commotion. Almost everyone on scene couldn't help but become excited.
It was because they all knew that Yi Xun 'er held the key to open the formation. Her appearance represented the start of the Blade Drawing Assembly.
The leader of the Winged Race, Yi Xun 'er, did not hesitate. After she appeared, she did not waste any words. She directly took out a Spirit Formation key, walked to the very center of the plaza, and prepared to open the formation.
* boom rumble rumble rumble *
Following the insertion of the Spirit Formation key, the entire plaza was enveloped by bursts of rumbling. The symbols started to circulate, and their forms started to change. Everyone couldn't help but rise into the air, and tightly stared at the plaza below.
It was because the center of the plaza had already become a bottomless hole. Moreover, everyone could feel that an object was currently rising from the pitch-black hole.
Under the gazes of the crowd, an altar finally rose and appeared in front of everyone.
And at the center of the altar, a stone-like object was inserted. It was grey-coloured, and seemed to be made of stone. It was shaped like a blade, but it did not have any aura.
"Could it be that this is the Ruler's Blade?"
At that instant, the crowd instantly became a mess. No one dared to believe that this was the Ruler's Blade that could command the Kings, the legendary Sacred Weapon.
If it wasn't inserted into the altar, no one would believe that it was a tool. It was simply an ordinary stone that could not be any more ordinary.
Not to mention the earth-shattering pressure, there was simply no aura of life at all. It could not even be considered to be the weakest Spiritual Weapon.
* whoosh *
But just as many people were discussing spiritedly, a figure suddenly appeared on the altar. Without saying anything, he extended his hand towards the grey-coloured stone.
And that person was none other than the old monster that had fought against the Demon Emperor, the King of Divine Herbs.
"Crap, someone got there before us."
At that instant, everyone suddenly reacted. Although it was the first time for some people to see the Ruler's Blade, many people had been there for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years.
They had participated in the Blade Drawing Assembly every year, so they naturally knew whether it was a stone or a Ruler's Blade.
The rule of the Blade Drawing Assembly was that each person was only allowed to draw once, and only one person was allowed to draw at a time.
This was an opportunity. Although one's strength represented the strength to seize the opportunity, everyone wanted to seize the opportunity first.
And now, it was obvious that the King of Divine Herbs had seized the opportunity first.
"Buzz."
When the old monster held the Ruler's Blade with his hand, the Ruler's Blade, which was as ordinary as a stone, actually emitted a faint brilliance.
And at that moment, everyone who saw the Ruler's Blade for the first time could not help but exclaim in surprise. They finally confirmed that this was the legendary Ruler's Blade without a doubt.
But at that moment, most of the people present were more nervous. They did not want the King of Divine Herbs to be able to draw the Ruler's Blade.
To be precise, they did not want anyone else to be able to draw it apart from themselves.
"Ahh ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
All of a sudden, the King of Divine Herbs roared at the sky. He held the Ruler's Blade tightly with his other hand, and a majestic aura was released from his body without reservation.
It was obvious that he had unleashed all of his strength without holding anything back.
But even so, the Ruler's Blade did not move an inch. It was even absorbing the King of Divine Herbs' strength as if it had a magical power.
Under such circumstances, even though the King of Divine Herbs had the body of an Asura Battle Sage, he was quickly exhausted and collapsed on the altar.
Seeing this scene, everyone could not help but let out a long sigh of relief. Even the Winged Clan Leader was the same.
Because they knew that the King of Divine Herbs had failed. The Asura Battle Sage had failed.
"Damn it. Is there really anyone who can draw this thing out?"
The King of Divine Herbs struggled to get up. Before he left, he even cursed. It was obvious how angry he was at that moment.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh."
And just as the King of Divine Herbs left the altar, countless figures were already flying towards the altar, trying to fight for the next opportunity.
This time, the person who occupied the altar was also an Asura Battle-Saint. However, her identity was shocking.
Because she was the organizer of this Blade Drawing Assembly, the Winged Clan Leader, Yi Xun Er.
