Xuan Zangfeng was embarrassed to be scolded by Gongsun Shengji. He didn't expect Lian Wuyi's injury to make Gongsun Shengji so angry.
When the people outside the courtyard saw this scene, they were also shocked. They all held their breaths and even forgot to breathe.
Gongsun Shengji and Xuan Zangfeng were the Divine Sword Master and the Martial Sword Master. To outsiders, there was a difference in status between the two, but it wasn't too big. It wasn't a strict relationship between a superior and a subordinate.
Now, Gongsun Shengji was scolding Xuan Zangfeng in front of so many people, treating him like a subordinate. Everyone was confused.
What they didn't know was that Xuan Zangfeng had always been weak in front of Gongsun Shengji. With the fact that Gongsun Shengji had reached the legendary realm of sword and martial arts as one, Xuan Zangfeng seemed even weaker.
But under normal circumstances, Gongsun Shengji would save Xuan Zangfeng some face. But this time, he was really angry.
The Evil Edge Sword Competition had already damaged the Shenwu Sword Pagoda's reputation. If the top genius of the Shenwu Sword Pagoda was suddenly killed before the Evil Edge Sword Competition began, and outside of Shenwu City at that, the Shenwu Sword Pagoda's reputation would definitely hit rock bottom.
Gongsun Shengji cared a lot about the Shenwu Sword Pagoda's reputation. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made things so difficult for Nie Tian.
That was why he was so angry and scolded Xuan Zangfeng.
There were three days until the Evil Edge Sword Competition began. Gongsun Shengji didn't want anything to happen during that time.
Gongsun Shengji looked at Xuan Zangfeng and said, "Xuan Zangfeng, tell your Shenwu Sword Spirits that this is a special time. Anyone who dares to challenge the Shenwu Sword Pagoda will be killed, no matter who they are!"
"Yes." Xuan Zangfeng nodded. He didn't even dare to look at Gongsun Shengji's face.
"Alright, this matter ends here. Lian Wuyi, have a good rest. The rest of you are dismissed." Gongsun Sheng glanced at the crowd and waved his hand.
The crowd dispersed, and Gongsun Sheng left with Xuan Zangfeng.
Di Shitian originally wanted to leave with Lian Wuyi, but he was stopped by Nie Tian, who said, "Di Shitian, Lian Wuyi is fine now. She needs to rest for the next few days, so you don't need to follow her."
Di Shitian was slightly taken aback. He wanted to insist, but when he saw the strange look in Nie Tian's eyes, he knew that the latter had something to tell him, so he let Lian Wuyi leave first.
Zhuo Bufan followed behind Lian Wuyi, but the latter was obviously very distant from him.
In the small courtyard, Di Shitian asked directly, "Nie Tian, what's the matter?"
Before Nie Tian said anything, Fat Cat's figure appeared. A pair of blue eyes stared at Di Shitian and said, "Di Shitian, you have just merged with the Blood Weeping Sword Infant, so I am very worried. For the next period of time, you should stay in Jiuji."
"This …" Di Shitian was taken aback, and then his expression became awkward.
He wasn't worried about himself, but Lian Wuyi.
"Don't worry, there is no longer a Blood Weeping Sword Infant in Lian Wuyi's body. Xuan Zangfeng won't do anything to her." Of course, Nie Tian knew what Di Shitian was thinking. He smiled faintly and said, "You saw Sword Master Gongsun's attitude towards Lian Wuyi just now. At this time, no one would dare to harm Lian Wuyi."
Indeed, when Lian Wuyi was injured, Gongsun Sheng reprimanded Xuan Zangfeng. This showed how much he valued Lian Wuyi.
Lian Wuyi was the number one genius of the Shenwu Sword Pagoda. To a certain extent, she represented the Shenwu Sword Pagoda. Gongsun Sheng wouldn't let anything happen to her!
There would probably be a large number of powerful cultivators hiding around Lian Wuyi to protect her in secret.
"Mm." Di Shitian thought about it and finally nodded.
Nie Tian opened Jiuji and let Di Shitian in.
"I will also enter Jiuji to have a look." Fat Cat chuckled and entered Jiuji as well.
He wasn't sure how the Blood Weeping Sword Infant would affect Di Shitian, so he would keep an eye on Di Shitian to make sure that nothing bad would happen to the latter.
"I hope the Blood Weeping Sword Infant won't affect Di Shitian too much." Nie Tian frowned. He couldn't help but look worried.
The Blood Weeping Sword Infant could greatly improve a swordsman's sword intent. This made Nie Tian wonder what level Di Shitian's sword intent would be if it improved further.
As far as Nie Tian knew, the legendary level of the integration of sword and martial arts was the highest level of the sword. He wasn't sure if there was a higher level after the legendary level.
"Perhaps." Nie Tian sighed inwardly as he felt much more at ease.
Whether there was a higher level after the legendary level wasn't something Nie Tian needed to think about. Because right now, he was still too far away from the integration of sword and martial arts.
The most important thing for Nie Tian was the Evil Edge Sword Competition.
The Evil Edge Sword Competition hadn't started yet, but all the geniuses had their eyes on Nie Tian.
Zhuo Bufan, the genius swordsman from the Shenwu Sword Pagoda, the swordsman from the Xuanyuan Family, and Jiang Yuzhi from the Jiang Family had all publicly declared that they wanted to challenge Nie Tian.
However, Nie Tian didn't care. Among the three, only the swordsman from the Xuanyuan Family gave Nie Tian a headache. He didn't care about the other two at all.
Nie Tian was more worried that the Evil Edge Sword Competition had caused too much of a commotion. He was afraid that organizations like the Holy Parliament and the Net Above and Below would already know about it. He was worried that these organizations would send powerful swordsmen.
"Looks like it won't be easy to become the champion of the Evil Edge Sword Competition." Nie Tian shook his head and sighed.
He knew that the road ahead wouldn't be easy, but this was his choice. Even if he had to step on blood, he had to finish it.
Three days later, Nie Tian stood in his courtyard, flanked by Jian Jingyun and Gui Wucan.
"Jian Jingyun, Gui Wucan, congratulations on reaching the Paramount God level," Nie Tian said happily.
After three months of secluded meditation, Jian Jingyun and Gui Wucan had reached the early Paramount God level.
Although they weren't the strongest of the nine realms, when it came to Jian Jingyun and Gui Wucan, it was shocking.
After all, neither of them were even ten thousand years old.
In the nine realms, it would be as rare as a phoenix feather or a qilin horn to reach the Paramount God level before the age of ten thousand.
"This is all thanks to you. You've brought us on a path of slaughter." Gui Wukan laughed heartily as he spoke in a loud voice.
Neither he nor Jian Jingyun could ever have guessed that they would reach the Paramount God level so quickly.
Back when Jian Jingyun and Gui Wucan had gone through the Path of Slaughter, their martial bodies and talent had improved significantly. That was one of the main reasons they had been able to reach the Paramount God level.
"The power of the Path of Slaughter is important," Nie Tian said with a faint smile, "but your talent and willpower are the most important." All of a sudden, he thought about Ruoyu Qianye.
It had been months since Ruoyu Qianye had merged with the Path of Slaughter, and it was almost time for the process to end.
