Xu Zheng was dead, but the force behind him didn't make any moves. It was as if that person had never existed.
The audience, who had been waiting for a good show with their eyes wide open, waited for a few days without seeing any movement, and they quickly shifted their attention.
Yan Yu had been nervous for a long time. She even discussed countermeasures with her father. She had also made a lot of preparations.
However, Xu Zheng's side didn't make any moves openly or covertly, which made Yan Yu very confused. Yan Yu was even more nervous since she couldn't figure out their intentions.
Yan Yu visited Gao Zhengyang almost every day, reminding him to be careful of revenge.
Gao Zhengyang was very calm. He wasn't afraid even if someone came to take revenge.
The Heartsword Sect was recruiting disciples in Yan City and came to him after he killed Xu Zheng. It was obvious that the Heartsword Sect had a foundation in Yan City.
Xuan Qing was a very reliable person. Since he had joined the Heartsword Sect and become Xuan Qing's junior brother, Xuan Qing should take care of these small things.
Sure enough, just as Gao Zhengyang had expected, no one came to cause trouble for him.
Yan Yu had been nervous for more than half a month, but the other side didn't make any moves. She slowly relaxed. After all, people couldn't be nervous all the time.
A few days later, the Yan City Sword Trials officially began.
Yan Yu was a bit disappointed that Gao Zhengyang didn't participate. He didn't say why, but Yan Yu felt that he needed to keep a low profile. He would be easily targeted if he went on the stage.
However, Yan Yu was more or less disappointed with Gao Zhengyang. The strong didn't fear challenges.
The Yan City Sword Trials gathered many geniuses. It was a good opportunity to become famous. Gao Zhengyang didn't dare to go on the stage, so he missed the great opportunity to make a name for himself.
More importantly, if Gao Zhengyang didn't go on the stage, he wouldn't be noticed by the great sects.
Therefore, when the Yan City Sword Trials began, Yan Yu slowly put Gao Zhengyang aside. She was busy trying to win over geniuses from all over.
The Yan City Sword Trials were open to the public. There wasn't even a need to register. Anyone could go on the stage if they had the guts. Of course, they had to abide by the rules of the stage.
The rules of the Sword Trials were only about winning and losing. There was no life or death involved. One had to admit defeat on the stage, or be beaten to the point where they could only admit defeat, or even be beaten to death.
Although there were people who dared to go on stage every year to show off, most of these people did not have a good ending.
Especially as the Sword Trials were held, the experts participating in the battles were getting stronger and stronger. Only experts who had completed the first round of the competition were qualified to participate in the second round.
After the first round of competition, several dazzling geniuses emerged.
Among them, the most dazzling genius was called Su Bai. He was handsome and elegant, and his Spring Rain Sword was continuous and agile. He had won five battles, and no one could survive more than ten moves under his sword.
A well-known master in Yan City was also defeated by Su Bai within ten moves.
For a time, Su Bai became famous.
Yan Yu had also spent a lot of effort to befriend Su Bai. Although she was not stunningly beautiful, her unrestrained sexiness, which was neither male nor female, was unique.
She had enough means and financial resources, and after a few exchanges, they became good friends.
By the end of the second round, Su Bai was in first place again.
Yan Yu was even more enthusiastic about him. She was almost inseparable and accompanied him all day long.
This made Bai Ling a little unable to put up with it. She muttered to Gao Zhengyang in private that Yan Yu was a fickle woman who could not close her legs when she saw a man.
Gao Zhengyang did not care. He and Yan Yu were just using each other and could not even be considered friends. He did not care whose thighs the other party wanted to serve.
Of course, Gao Zhengyang felt that Yan Yu was not that stupid. She was the daughter of the Yan family's patriarch and held great power. No matter how powerful Su Bai was, she could not really sleep with him.
The more Yan Yu valued Su Bai, the more she would not let him take advantage of her. If she did not have a brain, she would not be qualified to mingle in the underworld.
Su Bai lived up to everyone's expectations and successfully entered the finals. His opponent in the finals was called Yan Yun. Although his surname was also Yan, he had nothing to do with the current branch of the Yan family.
Yan Yun had left home when he was very young and learned martial arts to make a name for himself in front of his parents and villagers. Yan Yun used a four-foot-long knife, and his knife technique was fierce and domineering, extremely powerful.
The two masters participating in the finals, one hard and the other soft, were both young and talented, so the finals attracted the attention of the whole city.
On the day of the finals, the side of the arena was densely packed with people, at least hundreds of thousands of people watching the battle.
Those who were far away could at most see the shadow of the arena, but they were afraid that they could not even see the people. However, many people just liked to join in the fun.
Although Gao Zhengyang had been neglected by Yan Yu these days, as her good friend, he was still qualified to sit in the front row and watch the battle with her.
On the other side of Yan Yu sat Yan Hao, Ceng Hui, and He Buyun. Yan Hao and the other two also participated in the sword trial. Yan Hao almost entered the top ten, but his results were not ideal.
He Buyun and Ceng Hui were even worse and were eliminated in the second round.
During this time, Yan Yu had been extremely enthusiastic to Su Bai, and the other two had been greatly neglected. The three of them were envious and jealous of Su Bai.
The three of them sat at the side with solemn expressions on their faces. However, in their hearts, they all hoped that Yan Yun would win and dampen Su Bai's spirit.
With this mentality, the three of them were more enthusiastic about Gao Zhengyang.
Yan Yu actually knew about their careful thoughts, but he did not care.
Su Bai had a boundless future, and Yan Yu did not expect to keep him. He just wanted to leave a favor. On the contrary, Yan Hao and the other two were all locals of Yan City and were trustworthy and reliable.
However, these three were proud and arrogant, and they were still a little confused about their position. Yan Yu also used Su Bai to knock them down a peg.
As for Gao Zhengyang, Yan Yu also could not see through him. He also felt that it was not the right way to win by relying on magic tools. Compared with Su Bai, he was a little worse.
Therefore, Yan Yu naturally treated Gao Zhengyang coldly.
On the arena, Su Bai stepped onto the stage in a snow-white sword robe. His handsome and elegant demeanor also attracted bursts of cheers from the audience.
Yan Yu said to Gao Zhengyang, "Brother Su will definitely win the championship this time, and his future is boundless. It's a pity that he didn't participate. Otherwise, it's still unknown who will win. "
"Brother Gao's fire dragon spell is exquisite and peerless. Even a Rank 7 madman like Xu Zheng can be killed with a raise of his hand. "Su Bai and Yan Yun are much worse …"
Ceng Hui disliked Su Bai and would rather brag about Gao Zhengyang to suppress him.
Yan Hao shook his head and said, "I think that Su Bai and Yan Yun are both Rank 7. I'm afraid they're not worse than Xu Zheng."
Ceng Hui was about to question him when Su Bai and Yan Yun both flew up into the sky and pointed their swords at each other. Their momentum rose steadily.
The audience below exclaimed. There were many Rank 7 masters in Yan City, but it was rare to see them publicly show off their skills.
The Yan City Sword Trials also had a rule that masters above Rank 7 could only participate once. Therefore, there were almost no Rank 7 masters in the sword trials. Unexpectedly, in the final, Su Bai and Yan Yun both showed Rank 7 strength.
Yan Yu had long known about this and said calmly, "Although both sides are Rank 7, Brother Su's sword intent is dense and exquisite, and his foundation is far above Yan Yun's. "This time, Brother Su will win!"
She paused and asked Gao Zhengyang, "What do you think, Brother Gao?"
"Su Bai can win." Gao Zhengyang was also optimistic about Su Bai. Although Yan Yun was good, he was rough. His cultivation was far less solid than Su Bai's, so his loss was inevitable.
Sure enough, the two sides exchanged more than a hundred moves. Su Bai used Silent Spring Rain to cut down Yan Yun.
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Su Bai won the title of the Yan City Sword Trials Sword Chief.
"Brother Gao's eyes are really sharp."
Yan Yu was also very excited and said to Gao Zhengyang and the others, "I'm holding a banquet at Marigold Plum tonight to celebrate Brother Su's victory and also to drink with everyone. Everyone must come. "
Yan Hao and the other two looked a little unnatural. However, under Yan Yu's warm invitation, the three still agreed.
Gao Zhengyang was not very interested and was about to decline when Su Bai walked over. He had just defeated his rival Yan Yun and was in high spirits. He laughed loudly and said, "Brother Gao, please come."
Su Bai paused and said indifferently, "I've been accepted as a disciple of the Heart Sword Sect. Cultivation knows no time, and looking back, ten thousand years have passed. After today, I'm afraid that I won't have the chance to meet with you again. "
Although he pretended to be indifferent, his posture was very high. He meant that if Gao Zhengyang did not cherish this gathering, there would be no chance to meet him again.
"No, I still have things to deal with. I believe that I'll see you again soon. "
Gao Zhengyang flicked his sleeves and left with Bai Ling.
Yan Yu was a little disappointed. She had always felt that Gao Zhengyang was shrewd and mature, but she did not expect him to be so impulsive.
She smiled at him. "Brother Gao, forget it."
"He's a little too arrogant," Su Bai said with a magnanimous look. "He's still a little immature and needs experience after all."
Yan Hao and the others listened by the side. Although they looked down on Su Bai's arrogance, no one dared to say anything. Su Bai had entered the Heart Sword Sect and had a promising future. Who would dare to offend him?
They were not as brainless as Gao Zhengyang!
Yan Yu and the others surrounded Su Bai and went to the pleasure boat, returning drunk that night.
On the next day, Yan Yu, Yan Hao, and the others all sent him off.
The huge flying ship of the Heart Sword Sect was parked in the Yan City arena. Yan Yu, Yan Hao, and the others took various small gifts and sent Su Bai to the flying ship.
Su Bai was in a good mood. After signing up with Xuan Qing, he took the initiative to invite Yan Yu and Yan Hao to visit the flying ship. Although Yan City was rich, it did not have such a huge flying magic weapon.
Yan Yu had done it before, but to cooperate with Su Bai, she had to compliment him. Yan Hao had never seen it before, and his face was full of admiration and envy.
Unfortunately, his ranking was too low this time, and he was too old, so the sect did not take a fancy to him.
While they were talking, they saw Gao Zhengyang board the flying ship with Bai Ling.
Su Bai was quite surprised. He had seen all the disciples accepted by the Heart Sword Sect this time, but he had never seen Gao Zhengyang. He could not help but ask, "Why are you here?"
Gao Zhengyang smiled and said, "As the saying goes, ten thousand years is too long, so I have to seize every minute. I missed you, Brother Su, so I came to see you. "
Su Bai frowned and said, "This is a sect flying ship, so it's not convenient for outsiders to come on. You'd better get off quickly; it'll be bad if someone sees you. "
Before Gao Zhengyang could speak, Xuan Qing walked over. "Junior brother, you're here. Come over quickly; I've arranged the best room for you."
Su Bai was stunned. "Master Uncle? Who is he? "
"He's also your uncle. Be polite when you meet him in the future." Xuan Qing exhorted and left with Gao Zhengyang and Bai Ling.
"I'll take my leave first. See you later, Nephew Su." Gao Zhengyang smiled and nodded to Yan Yu and Yan Hao before leaving.
Bai Ling, who was walking at the back, made a mischievous face at Su Bai and said silently, See you later.
Su Bai froze in place, only feeling his face burning, and he felt unspeakably uncomfortable.
Yan Yu's bright eyes turned, her face full of annoyance and helplessness.
