(Third Update)
"He won."
"He really won."
"Unbelievable. I thought that the Xuanjian Family would lose for sure."
The spectators reacted one by one and found it unbelievable.
In the gambling battle between the Xuanjian Family and the Heavenly Shadow Tower, everyone favored the Heavenly Shadow Tower. After all, the Heavenly Shadow Tower was stronger and had a stronger background.
Especially in the last battle, when Ying Que displayed the strength of the Final Realm, everyone felt that the outcome was already decided.
However, they never expected that everything would be out of their expectations.
Chen Zong actually won. Not only did he barely win, but he won by killing Ying Que.
The members of the Xuanjian Family felt as if they had been hit by a huge surprise. That feeling of rising and falling was too exciting. Their little hearts couldn't take it and felt as if they were about to explode.
Now, they were ecstatic, an indescribable ecstasy.
"We won." A member of the Xuanjian Family could not help but shout.
"We won."
"We won."
As if a gate had been opened, the others began to cheer. Even the Patriarch had an excited look on his face.
Winning the gambling battle meant that they would not lose half of the mining rights of the Xuanjian Stone Mine. In the future, the Heavenly Shadow Tower would not target the Xuanjian Family, at least on the surface. After all, the Duke of Tianyi was a witness.
If the Heavenly Shadow Tower deliberately caused trouble, it would be a slap to the Duke of Tianyi's face.
Many people stared at Chen Zong, who was on the Dragon Stage. They were curious and scrutinizing, as if they wanted to see through Chen Zong.
It was obvious that Chen Zong was not of the Origin because he did not have the iconic silver hair and double pupils of the Origin.
The Duke of Tianyi stared at Chen Zong and said with a smile, "You are not bad. Come to the Skywing Army."
Everyone was shocked.
Although it was not easy to join the Skywing Army, it was still okay. The Duke of Tianyi's personal invitation had a different meaning.
Immediately, numerous gazes gathered on Chen Zong's face again.
At this time, he should immediately agree without hesitation.
"Thank you for your appreciation, Commandery Prince, but I'm not from Tianlin Kingdom, so I won't stay here," Chen Zong replied, rejecting the invitation of the Commandery Prince of Tianyi.
After being rejected by Chen Zong, the Commandery Prince of Tianyi naturally would not try to recruit him again. There was no need to do so. Although Chen Zong was a top genius and it would not be difficult for him to reach the Fourth Realm, it was unknown whether he could reach the Fifth Realm. It was not enough for the Commandery Prince of Tianyi to pay more attention to him and lower himself to recruit him.
In the eyes of the Commandery Prince of Tianyi, Chen Zong's rejection of his recruitment was definitely a loss. However, with his identity and status, he would not hold a grudge against a junior because of this.
After the battle ended, the people from the Xuanjian Family left with joy. As for the people from the Sky Shadow Tower, they left with anger and killing intent.
…
"Your Excellency Chen Zong, thank you very much." The head of the Xuanjian Family solemnly said to Chen Zong to express his gratitude.
If it had been someone in the Dawn Realm in this battle, they would have lost. After all, Ying Que's real strength was in the Final Realm.
However, Chen Zong defeated Ying Que, who was in the Final Realm, with his cultivation in the Dawn Realm. It was really shocking.
"We both took what we needed." Chen Zong replied.
"Your Excellency, don't worry. We won the battle. The mining rights of the Xuanjian Family are in the hands of the Xuanjian Family. The Sword-cleansing Pool will open in three days at most. At that time, we will inform you to enter." The head of the Family said solemnly.
Chen Zong's contribution to their victory in this battle could not go unnoticed. His contribution was even greater than Fei Jun's. It was natural for him to get a place in the Sword-cleansing Pool.
The Xuanjian Family would not go back on their word or break their promise because of this. Firstly, they were a family of swordsmen. Secondly, Chen Zong's background was not clear, but he was definitely not ordinary. They could only befriend such a person and not be enemies.
"However, there is one thing that you must pay attention to." The head of the Xuanjian Family continued, "According to the agreement of the battle, the Tianying Tower will not directly target us. However, they will definitely hold a grudge against you. When you leave the Xuanjian Family, you may be attacked by the Tianying Tower."
"Thank you for telling me." Chen Zong replied with a smile.
This could not be helped. After all, he had won, which meant that he had disrupted the Tianying Tower's arrangements and affected their interests. It was normal for the Tianying Tower to hold a grudge against him.
Fortunately, he had not revealed all his means and still had some hidden cards. When the time came, even if he was attacked by the Tianying Tower, as long as they did not send a Fourth Realm expert, they would not be able to do anything to him.
Even so, Chen Zong would not be careless.
"Actually, you should accept the invitation of the Commandery Prince. As long as you join the Skywing Army, the Tianying Tower will not dare to attack you." The Third Elder sighed. Unfortunately, Chen Zong had already rejected the invitation of the Commandery Prince of Tianyi. Now, even if he went to the Commandery Prince himself, he might not be able to join.
It was too late!
Chen Zong smiled and did not care. The Skywing Army might be good, but it was impossible for him to join. After all, the strength of the Tianyi County was not small compared to the Nine Heaven Imperial Court.
In addition, Chen Zong did not plan to stay here for long. He planned to leave and return to the Nine Heaven Universe. Of course, he did not want to be bound here.
In these three days, Chen Zong planned to continue comprehending and cultivating, while the people of the Xuanjian Family vigorously excavated Xuanjian Stones and threw them into the Sword-cleansing Pool.
In the Tianying Tower, a group of people, led by the Tower Master, sat in the meeting hall. The atmosphere was solemn and bleak.
"If we lose the battle, we can't take the Xuanjian Stone Mine."
"This should be a sure thing. Who would have thought that such an unforeseen event would happen?"
"According to the agreement, we can't attack the Xuanjian Family anymore."
Everyone was furious.
"Enough." The Tower Master spoke calmly and interrupted the discussion. "It has happened. It's meaningless to pursue it. What we need to do is to remedy the situation."
"We can't give up the Xuanjian Family's Xuanjian Stone Mine. Although according to the agreement, we can't attack them openly, we can do it secretly."
"Now, let's lay low for a while and rest for a while so that the Xuanjian Family will let down their guard. When they have completely let down their guard, we will join forces with the Heavenly Shadow Tower to deal a fatal blow and wipe out the Xuanjian Family with lightning speed. Once it is a foregone conclusion, even if the Duke of Tianyi is angry, there is nothing he can do. After all, the Heavenly Shadow Tower is involved." The Master of the Heavenly Shadow Tower analyzed clearly.
Hearing the Tower Master's words, the others calmed down and their eyes lit up.
It was indeed feasible!
However, by then, they would not be able to get the benefits alone. The Tianying Tower would take at least half of the benefits.
But there was no other way. It was better to get half of the benefits than to get none at all.
"This is all because of that person. If it weren't for him, we would have won the battle."
"This person must die."
"That's right. Before dealing with the Xuanjian Family, we must kill him first to vent our hatred."
"Before killing him, let's get in touch with him. If we can recruit him into the Tianying Tower, it will be better," the Tower Master said. Although he hated Chen Zong, he cared more about benefits.
If he could recruit Chen Zong into the Tianying Tower, it would definitely be a good thing for the Tianying Tower.
In terms of talent, Chen Zong was definitely better than Ying Que. He was a talent, a top genius.
"He rejected the Duke's invitation. How can he join us?"
"If he doesn't join us, then kill him."
Soon, the Tianying Tower formulated a series of countermeasures.
...
Three days passed in a flash. The Third Elder stepped into the Famous Sword Garden again and found Chen Zong.
"Your Excellency, the Sword-cleansing Pool is about to open," the Third Elder said directly.
"Okay." Chen Zong immediately set off with the Third Elder.
The Sword-cleansing Pool was located in the Xuanjian Family. It really looked like a pool. The pool seemed to be made of a huge piece of white jade with a diameter of 100 meters. There were eight ten-meter-tall white jade sword pillars erected around it. Someone was constantly throwing Black Sword Stones into the pool.
When the Black Sword Stones fell into the pool, they immediately melted and turned into wisps of sharp aura that spread out and filled the Sword-cleansing Pool.
Now, many Black Sword Stones had been thrown in. Wisps of pure Independent Sword Qi filled the pool like clouds of white mist.
When all the Black Sword Stones were thrown into the Sword-cleansing Pool, the Sword Qi filled the pool like water and surged up like waves.
The surrounding eight ten-meter-tall white jade sword pillars trembled as well, as if they were emitting sword cries.
"Your Excellency, the Sword-cleansing Pool has opened. You may enter," the Master of the Xuanjian Family said to Chen Zong.
Fei Jun took a step forward and stepped into the Sword-cleansing Pool. His figure seemed to have sunk into the pure white Independent Sword Qi and disappeared.
One by one, the disciples of the Xuanjian Family stepped into the pool. Including Chen Zong, there were a total of ten people.
In other words, every time the Sword-cleansing Pool opened, only ten people could enter and benefit from it.
The reason why it opened once every hundred years was because of the accumulation of Black Sword Stones.
A hundred years, ten spots. This made every single spot extremely precious.
As soon as Chen Zong stepped into the Sword-cleansing Pool, he immediately felt the Sword Qi that filled his surroundings. The Sword Qi was pure and extremely vigorous, but it was also scattered and ownerless. It could be absorbed and absorbed at will. The fluctuation contained within was even more shocking.
Soon, Chen Zong felt the benefits of the Sword-cleansing Pool.
Absorbing and refining the pure Sword Qi here could increase one's cultivation. Of course, his cultivation had already reached the peak of the Divine Aspect Realm, so there was no way for him to increase it. However, other than increasing his cultivation, the Sword Qi could also help him analyze and comprehend the mysteries of the Sword Dao.
This was what Chen Zong needed the most right now.
The Black Sword Stones contained Sword Qi. After being purified by the mysterious power of the Sword-cleansing Pool, it would become even purer. It also contained the mysteries of the Sword Dao. Even though the mysteries of a single Sword Qi were very subtle, when accumulated, it would be very impressive.
The ten of them spread out and took the initiative to absorb the pure Sword Qi that permeated the surroundings, cultivating and comprehending it.
Among them, only Fei Jun and Chen Zong had reached the peak of the Divine Aspect Realm. The others had the highest cultivation at the peak of the Divine Aspect Realm. Some of them were even at the mid level of the Divine Aspect Realm. There was even one who was at the low level of the Divine Aspect Realm. Their cultivation was mainly based on their cultivation and comprehension of the Sword Dao.
