Chapter 73: Yunlong Temple Conference (Part 1) (5th Update)

  Cloud Temple, Cloud Dragon Temple.

  This place gives people a sense of solemnity, majesty and serenity.

  This is where the ninth-generation sword immortals of Beifeng handle government affairs. This place, which is also the pond in front of Yunlong Palace, has a yellow oriole singing softly on it, adding a rare and lively atmosphere to Yunlong Palace. Other places are solemn, quiet, and stern.

  The guards here are also expressionless, standing straight like a spear.

  In the Cloud Dragon Palace, generally only famous ninth-generation sword immortals like the Six Sword Immortals of North Peak and others appear. Recently, Li Yuanbai, the Twilight Sword, has been coming less often due to physical reasons, while Chu Fei, the Flying Heaven Sword, has been coming more often. Generally, it's just these people.

  Today, Yunlong Palace is quite crowded with people.

  Seated are the seven Sword Sages: Yuan Yuanshang, Li Yuanbai of the Setting Sun Sword, Sima Changbai of the Daily Sword, Fang Ru of the Gentleman Sword, Dugu Ye of the Lonely Heart Sword, Ye Yangrong of the Round Harmony Sword, and Chu Fei of the Flying Heaven Sword. All seven are present, not one is missing. It's not easy to gather these seven sword sages together, but this time they have all assembled.

  Apart from these seven Sword Immortals, there were also the fifth True Disciple Sima Bo, the sixth True Disciple Lu Yuan, the ninth True Disciple Ye Fang, the tenth True Disciple Ye Yuan, ordinary disciples Sima Hao, Situ Zuo, Situ You, Sima Wen and Sima Yan.

  Apart from this, there are four guests of Huashanmen: Jin Qin ranked first, Wei Qi ranked second, Zhao Shu ranked third, and Han Hua ranked fourth.

  The wind howled and blew outside the palace.

  The wind howls with rage.

  Quiet, this is the first feeling in Yunlong Palace now.

  Deathly silence.

  In this deathly silence, Yuan Yuan's eyes seemed to be open and closed at the same time, Dugu Ye's lips curled up with a mysterious smile, Fang Ru's face remained unchanged, his expression stern, Ye Yangrong's face had a faint smile, always looking like a wealthy businessman, Li Yuanbai's white eyebrows drooped down, his eyes seemingly closed, Sima Changbai's face wore a cold smile, while Chu Fei sat at the back, his face devoid of any expression.

  These seven sword immortals are all seasoned veterans.

  It's a pipe dream to try to guess what they're thinking from their faces!

  They were seven in number, and each one of them was deep in strategy.

  Their seven inner thoughts can only be known by themselves.

  Of course, in fact, Fang Ru, Dugu Ye and Chu Fei had nothing on their minds because the three of them had just received news that it seemed that Sima Changbai's disciples and Li Yuanbai's disciples had a conflict and there was an urgent need to make a decision at Yunlong Palace, so they rushed over in a hurry.

  As for the other four, Yuan Yuanshang is the master of Yifeng, naturally knows, Li Yuanbai and Sima Changbai are the masters of the parties involved, naturally know, while Ye Yangrong is in charge of intelligence, also knows.

  To get back to the point, Sima Changbai was now not just annoyed, but extremely angry.

  He really didn't expect this to happen, Lu Yuan, that decent swordsmanship junior, was so bold and daring, at the time of the opening of Sima Sword Pavilion under his own hands, he actually dared to come and kick the scene, defeating the ten guards of Sima Sword Pavilion, and burning Sima Sword Pavilion into a piece of ashes.

  How dare you!

  A mere junior, daring to attack his own master's sword pavilion, he must have eaten the heart of a bear and the gallbladder of a leopard.

  Simachangbai has always been a very overbearing person, as can be seen from his name, like the sword in the sun, like the sword in the middle of the sky, the big day in the air, covering everything, blocking everything, his sword is overbearing, his kung fu is overbearing, and he himself is also overbearing.

  His goal is to become the master of Beifeng, taking over the position of Yuanyu Shangren. In his opinion, Yuanyu Shangren has grown old and useless, too conservative, and it should be him, a young and domineering figure, who takes over as the master of Beifeng, bringing glory to Beifeng.

  And he, in his tyrannical manner towards Lu Yuan, had always thought that he could go after the position of Lu Yuan's true disciple, and could send the three giant swords of Xizhou to assassinate Lu Yuan. Anyway, what he did was all justifiable, but Lu Yuan dared to counterattack him, dared to launch a surprise attack on his subordinate swordsmen, which was not allowed.

  So, in his heart, he was actually furious at this moment.

  This kid, unexpectedly fearless of himself, even dared to launch a preemptive attack on his own forces.

  Simachen was secretly furious at this time, and also felt that the people under his command were really useless. He had sent more than ten people to the Sword Pavilion this time, including Sima Bo, a true disciple of the Sima family, and four guests with expertise in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. However, they all lost to Lu Yuan.

  What a waste!

  Lu Yuan is indeed quite skilled, his swordsmanship isn't bad, but that's about it.

  Ye Yangfeng suddenly smiled: "Lu Yuan, your strength is not bad, one person fighting against four people in chess, piano, calligraphy and painting, you still won." Ye Yangfeng usually is a good old man, when things don't concern him, he stays out of it, but now this matter concerns his disciple Ye Yuan, who has also been implicated, so Ye Yangfeng can only get involved.

  Ye Yangfeng had just finished speaking, and the three people who rushed over in a hurry, Dugu Ye, Fang Ru, and Chu Fei, were all shocked. They still didn't know what was going on and were thinking of listening to find out what happened when they suddenly heard Ye Yangfeng's explosive words: "Lu Yuan, that little brat, actually challenged the four of us in chess, piano, calligraphy, and painting alone!"

  And surprisingly, I won the fight.

  It's really a surprising young man, and he can actually win. If we were to guess before that the three great swords of Western Zhou were Lu Yuandou, everyone was still estimating whether Lu Yuan or Yun Yi, the tenth generation's eldest disciple, and Yun Ping, the second disciple, were stronger or weaker. Now, it can basically be confirmed that Lu Yuan, this lazy guy, is probably a bit stronger.

  Dugu Ye smiled slightly: "You called us over, but you haven't said what's going on. Just say it directly, what exactly happened?"

  "Alright." Ye Yangfeng immediately explained the situation of Lu Yuan challenging Sima Jianyuan's sword pavilion, and at this time, Dugu Ye, Fang Ru, and Chu Fei couldn't help but look at Lu Yuan in shock. He dared to challenge Sima Changbai's subordinate sword pavilion; this Lu Yuan was indeed reckless and arrogant.

  I only knew that Lu Yuan was a disciple with good swordsmanship and decent innate talent in the way of the sword, but I didn't expect that this person would be so daring and reckless when it comes to taking action.

  Simachangbai is the uncle's identity, and he himself is like a sun in the sky. He has many people under his control, but unexpectedly, Lu Yuan actually dared to take the initiative to provoke Sima Changbai.

  How dare you! How audacious!

  Dugu Ye smiled lightly: "What a bold and presumptuous person, but I appreciate it." Dugu Ye, also known as the Lonely Heart Sword, had always been indifferent to anyone's opinions among the Northern Peak Sword Immortals. Even if it was Sima Changbai, she wouldn't give him any face, speaking directly and laughing with a clap of her hands. Meanwhile, Chu Fei looked at Lu Yuan with a smile, full of admiration.
