“I found out that the Sect Master of True Dragon Divine Sect has taken the second young lady as a disciple,” Luo Qing said. “The strange thing is, the True Dragon Divine Sect did not hold an apprenticeship ceremony.”

“Didn’t hold an apprenticeship ceremony?” Yang Xiaotian was stunned.

Generally speaking, when the Sect Master of True Dragon Divine Sect takes a disciple, it is a major event for the entire sect, and an apprenticeship ceremony is to be held.

Luo Qing hesitated for a moment, then added, “The Sect Master of the True Dragon Divine Sect has a daughter named Hu Yue, who’s twelve years old, but her relationship with the second young lady doesn’t seem to be very good.”

“Why is that?” Yang Xiaotian asked.

“I’m not sure,” Luo Qing shook his head.

“Keep investigating, find out more,” Yang Xiaotian said.

This concerned his sister, and he wanted to get to the bottom of it.

Luo Qing agreed, bowed to Yang Xiaotian, and then withdrew.

Yang Xiaotian practiced Thunderclap Nine Heavens for a while, but he felt restless and anxious, as if something was going to happen, unable to calm his mind.

So, Yang Xiaotian called everyone out for a walk.

The moment Xiao Jin heard Yang Xiaotian mention going out for a walk, his eyes lit up, almost drooling.

Seeing Xiao Jin’s reaction, Yang Xiaotian smiled; he knew this fellow must have been longing for the super lollipops of the Imperial Capital.

The group left the yard and made their way to the snack streets of the Imperial Capital.

Located near the central area of the Imperial Capital, Azure Dragon Residence was conveniently placed, with the snack streets just two blocks away. As Yang Xiaotian and the others approached the snack streets, they saw a large crowd gathered ahead, buzzing with excitement.

And from time to time, sounds of astonishment erupted.

“What’s going on up ahead, why is it so lively?” Ajin tiptoed, craning his neck, and asked.

Wu Qi laughed, “It’s the Sword Dao Roulette.”

“Sword Dao Roulette?” The crowd was curious.

Wu Qi explained, “This Sword Dao Roulette is an ancient artifact, quite magical. Just input Sword Qi or strike it with a sword, and it will spin, then drop out items.”

“Some Sword Dao masters have input Sword Qi and gotten a book of Swordsmanship Ultimate Divine Power.”

“Some even managed to get a Heavenly Sword.”

Yang Xiaotian and the others were astonished, “A Heavenly Sword came out?”

Heavenly Swords are hard to find, and getting one is tremendously difficult, but this Sword Dao Roulette could actually produce Heavenly Swords.

Wu Qi continued, “It sounds absurd, but indeed some have obtained Heavenly Swords from the Sword Dao Roulette, and not just one person, but several. More than two hundred years ago, the Great Elder Chi Yuan from the Sky-Stepping Sect acquired the Demon-Slaying Sword.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked, “The Demon-Slaying Sword!”

Even Yang Xiaotian hadn’t expected that Zhu Xuan’s master Chi Yuan obtained the Demon-Slaying Sword.

The Demon-Slaying Sword is the second-ranked Heavenly Sword.

“Indeed, the Demon-Slaying Sword,” Wu Qi nodded. “After obtaining it, Chi Yuan practiced its sword technique, making great advancements in Sword Dao, sweeping through opponents of the same realm.”

As he said this, he shifted the topic: “However, after Chi Yuan, no one has obtained a Heavenly Sword from the Sword Dao Roulette in more than two hundred years.”

“Then, has anyone ever obtained a Divine Sword?” Xiao Jin suddenly asked.

Wu Qi was taken aback, then shook his head, “No.” He added, “But people always suspect that there could be a Divine Sword in the Sword Dao Roulette, it’s just that no one has obtained it yet.”

Hearing this made everyone’s heart flutter.

The possibility of a Heavenly Sword dropping from the Sword Dao Roulette would excite anyone.

“Does it have to be a Sword Dao Genius to get good items from the Sword Dao Roulette?” Liao Kun asked.

“Theoretically, that is the case,” Wu Qi said. “But there are always exceptions. Once, a disciple of mediocre cultivation, who had never practiced swordsmanship, obtained a Swordsmanship Divine Ability from the Sword Dao Roulette.”

Hearing this, everyone was even more eager to try.

“However, this Sword Dao Roulette doesn’t spin for free. One spin requires a payment of 10,000 gold,” Wu Qi said.

“A spin costs 10,000 gold!” Xiao Jin’s eyes widened, and he thought about how many candies that much gold could buy.

Wu Qi chuckled, “Exactly, one must pay 10,000 gold or a lower-grade Spirit Stone. This is what the Divine Dragon Empire charges. If it were free, the queue would probably stretch out of the city every day.”

Even though one spin of the Sword Dao Roulette cost 10,000 gold, Yang Xiaotian still wanted to give it a try.

To see what he could obtain from the Sword Dao Roulette.

Thus, Yang Xiaotian led the group toward the crowd.

The crowd was huge, forming rings ten layers deep. After much effort, Yang Xiaotian and his companions finally squeezed their way to the front of the Sword Dao Roulette.

The Sword Dao Roulette was enormous, hovering in midair, two people tall, and etched with hundreds of Sword Talismans that emanated a mysterious aura, orderly arranged upon the wheel.

The roulette had ten sword patterns in total, these ten sword patterns dividing the Sword Dao Roulette into ten areas.

Wu Qi told Yang Xiaotian, “Young Master, the Sword Dao Roulette has ten areas in total. The first area is at the very center, and the tenth area is on the outermost edge. The more central the area, the better the prizes that drop.”

“In the past, the Heavenly Sword has always dropped from the third area.”

The third area yielded the Heavenly Sword.

“What about the second and the first areas then?” Luo Qing couldn’t help asking.

Wu Qi shook his head, “From ancient times to now, no one has managed to activate the second and the first areas.”

The crowd was surprised.

Stepping forward, Yang Xiaotian paid the 10,000 gold. Just as he was about to unleash the power of the Nine-Colored Sword Heart and strike the Sword Dao Roulette, a commotion erupted from the crowd.

“Experts from the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect are here!”

The Subduing Dragon Sword Sect!

Yang Xiaotian and his companions looked over and saw the densely packed crowd parting like water, making way for a group of experts clad in the battle robes of the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect disciples.

The robes of the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect were unmistakable, each chest adorned with the image of a slain Divine Dragon.

Very eye-catching.

At the forefront was a young man with a proud carriage and an arrogant demeanor, none other than Lan Yi whom Yang Xiaotian had previously encountered.

With a dragon’s stride and a tiger’s poise, Lan Yi was brimming with arrogance, a powerful presence radiating from him.

Feeling the powerful aura of Lan Yi, the surrounding people involuntarily took a step back.

“Make way! Our Brother Lan is about to spin the Sword Dao Roulette!” The disciples of the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect saw Yang Xiaotian, Yang Chao, and the others obstructing the front of the roulette and scolded them.

After saying this, they attempted to push Yang Xiaotian, Yang Chao, and the rest aside.

“Our young master has already paid,” Liao Kun interjected, “There is an order to everything, a first-come, first-served basis.”

One of the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect disciples heard this, glanced at Yang Xiaotian and Liao Kun, and scoffed, “You mere King Realm cultivators, even having paid, can’t spin anything of worth. You’re just wasting time.” Then he shouted, “Now move aside for our Brother Lan!”

Lan Yi, however, stretched out a hand to stop the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect disciple, looking at Yang Xiaotian with the same arrogance as before, “Yang Xiaotian, I really didn’t expect to see you in the Imperial Capital.”

Seeing Lan Yi’s arrogant demeanor just as before, Yang Xiaotian replied indifferently, “If you can come to the Imperial Capital, why can’t I?”

At that, Lan Yi seemed surprised, and looking Yang Xiaotian up and down, he laughed, “Yang Xiaotian, don’t think that having an Emperor Realm Fierce Beast gives you the confidence and qualification to talk to me like this.”

“In my eyes, you are no different from before, still just a tiny ant.”
