Lin Tao said to Cheng Long, “Brother Cheng Long, participating in the academy’s grand competition, you will most certainly claim the title of number one in Divine Sea Country this time and pass the Tiandou Academy assessment smoothly.”

Cheng Long chuckled and said, “I’m not sure about being first, but I’m confident about being in the top three.” As he said this, he released his aura.

It was indeed the peak of the fourth layer of the Martial King Realm.

Lin Tao was greatly surprised.

The outside world rumored that Cheng Long was at the peak of the third layer of the Martial King Realm, but Cheng Long’s true realm was actually the peak of the fourth layer of the Martial King Realm. Although it was only one small realm difference, the strength between the two was vastly disparate.

In the Martial King Realm, a small realm difference is quite significant.

“I never expected Brother Cheng Long to be at the peak of the fourth layer of the Martial King Realm!” Lin Tao exclaimed with admiration, “With Brother Cheng Long’s strength, not to mention the top three, you will definitely claim the title of number one in Divine Sea Country this time!”

Just now, when he said Lin Tao could be number one in Divine Sea Country, he was just being polite, but now, he truly meant it.

Cheng Long humbly smiled and said, “I concealed my strength, and others might have done so as well. It will be enough for me to capture the top three spots in Divine Sea Country this time.”

The two sat for a while longer and drank a bit more before Cheng Long took his leave.

Before leaving, he assured Lin Tao that it was safe for him to stay in his manor; it was absolutely secure, and there was nothing to worry about.

After Cheng Long had left, an Elder from the Tuoluo Sect said, “Deputy Sect Master, with so many of our disciples killed by Yang Xiaotian, we cannot let this go so easily.”

Lin Tao’s eyes filled with murderous intent, “Of course we can’t just let it go like this. Even if we can’t kill Yang Xiaotian, we must have someone assassinate his parents to avenge our deceased disciples!”

“Is that so?”

“However, unfortunately, you won’t have that chance.”

A cold voice rang out.

The voice was sudden, startling both Lin Tao and the Tuoluo Sect Elder.

“Who?!”

Both whirled around only to see Wu Qi emerge, leaning on a large wooden staff.

“It’s you!” Upon recognizing Wu Qi, they were about to draw their swords, but just as they were about to do so, a terrifying pressure enveloped them.

Under this terrible pressure, they felt as if a weighty mountain was crushing down on them, making it hard to breathe, and even their movements slowed down significantly.

“Martial Emperor!” The two looked at Wu Qi in horror.

And besides, the elder before them was definitely not an ordinary Martial Emperor.

They had seen many Martial Emperors; none had such an imposing pressure.

Unless he was a Supreme Emperor.

“I have said that you do not have this chance,” Wu Qi said indifferently. He did not summon the Soul Ring but simply waved his large wooden staff, and instantly, a surge of dark green light burst forth.

Lin Tao and the Tuoluo Sect Elder were filled with terror as they frantically circulated their True Yuan and drew their swords with all their might to strike.

However, as soon as their swords were drawn, they were engulfed by the dark green light.

The dark green light instantly covered their entire bodies. Lin Tao and the Elder watched in fear as their sword-wielding arms were instantly frozen, then the rest of their bodies began to stiffen, go numb, and eventually lost all sensation.

They watched helplessly as a terrifying chill continually eroded their bodies until the world in their eyes turned completely dark green.

Wu Qi looked at the ice sculptures that were Lin Tao and the Elder, and with a mere wave of his large wooden staff, shattered both into countless ice fragments scattered across the ground.

After killing the two, Wu Qi’s figure flickered and vanished from the spot.

The next day, Cheng Long arrived at the manor, looking at the bodies of Lin Tao and the others, his face dreadfully somber.

“Yang Xiaotian, you are courting death!” Cheng Long’s voice was chillingly cold.

No need to think, the death of Lin Tao and others must be related to Yang Xiaotian.

Yang Xiaotian actually dared to kill people in his own residence!

Yang Xiaotian, I will make you understand what are the consequences of offending me! Cheng Long clenched his fists, as if intending to crush Yang Xiaotian.

And the news of the Tuoluo Sect masters being killed in Cheng Long’s residence has also caused quite a stir.

Yang Xiaotian ignored the outside world, focusing instead on quietly cultivating the Hundred Swords Technique in a separate courtyard of the Divine Sword Academy.

Now, the Hundred Swords Technique had been perfected, and his task was to cultivate each of the Hundred Swords Technique to the realm of Summit Mastery.

In the past few months, he had already cultivated over thirty of the Hundred Swords Technique to the Summit Mastery realm.

In the courtyard, Sword Qi permeated the air, resembling rain, wind, dragons, and phoenixes at times.

After a display of his skills, Yang Xiaotian stopped.

Still, the separate courtyard of the Divine Sword Academy was too small; he couldn’t unleash his full potential.

After practicing his swordsmanship for a while, Luo Qing came in to report to Yang Xiaotian the current situation in the Royal City.

After Luo Qing finished his report, he felt that there was another matter that needed to be reported to Yang Xiaotian, and added, “Young Master, I also found out that Wen Jingtao is going to harm Miss Wen Jingyi.”

“The Wind Cloud Commerce Guild’s caravans have been robbed six times in the last two years. Wen Jingtao, in collusion with several elders of the Guild, framed Miss Wen Jingyi, claiming that she conspired with the bandits.”

“They are asking for the dismissal of her position as an elder and for her to be imprisoned to root out the truth.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian’s expression turned cold.

Last time he killed the Blood Saber Gang Leader and obtained another Heavenly Dragon Saber from him, along with many letters that served as evidence of Wen Jingtao colluding with the Blood Saber Gang Leader to rob the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild’s caravans.

He hadn’t expected Wen Jingtao to now turn around and accuse Wen Jingyi of conspiring with the bandits.

“Wen Jingtao.” Yang Xiaotian sneered. He had not yet settled his score with Wen Jingtao and Wen Qiulan, that busty fool, over the last incident, and now these two were causing trouble again.

Well, if that’s the case, then he should pay a visit to the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild.

“What about now?” he asked Luo Qing.

“Right now the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild’s head is gathering all the elders to discuss the matter of Miss Wen Jingyi’s collusion with bandits,” Luo Qing said.

Yang Xiaotian nodded, glanced at the sky, and said, “I’ll go to the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild now. Inform Elder Wu that if I do not return within an hour, he should make his way to the main branch of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild.”

Luo Qing agreed, then said, “Young Master, why don’t we accompany you there?”

“No need.” After speaking, Yang Xiaotian’s figure flashed, and he left the courtyard, put on the Dragon Head Mask, and arrived at the main branch of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild.

At that moment, inside the Inner Hall of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild’s main branch, Wen Fei, the head of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild, sat in the hall with Wen Jingtao, Wen Jingyi, and others. Wen Jingtao, as the Great Elder, sat next to Wen Fei, while Wen Jingyi, who had recently joined the Council of Elders, sat at the lowest end.

Wen Jingtao took out a letter and said to Wen Fei, “Head, this is evidence of Wen Jingyi’s collusion with the bandits.”

“She has leaked our caravan’s information to the bandits, causing our Guild to be robbed six times in the past two years, with losses nearing a million gold. I urge the head to imprison Wen Jingyi and to recover the Guild’s losses.”

After speaking, he handed the letter to Wen Fei to look at.

Before Wen Fei finished reading, another elder, filled with righteous indignation, angrily pointed at Wen Jingyi, “Wen Jingyi, you are from the Wen family, yet you collude with bandits!”

“You caused the Guild to lose nearly a million gold. Tell us, why did you do this!”

The other few elders also accused Wen Jingyi one after another.

The remaining two elders remained silent.

Wen Jingyi coldly glanced at Wen Jingtao and the others, then said to Wen Jingtao, “Who knows where you got this letter; you just write up a letter and accuse me of leaking information to bandits. If it’s like that, could I not also write up a letter and claim you are the one colluding with the bandits?”
