True Martial City.
More and more people are gathering here.
The wise know that this move is akin to rubbing the face of the Inquiring Sword Pavilion in the dirt. Once matters are brought to the surface, there must be an explanation.
The two forlorn figures atop the city gate stirred the hearts and minds of the crowd.
"Are these two really mbers of the Inquiring Sword Pavilion?"
"Heh! Other than the Sect Leader of the Inquiring Sword Pavilion, who knows? But whether they are or not is no longer important. What matters is that the attitude of the True Martial Sect has been made clear; the key is how the Inquiring Sword Pavilion will respond."
"You’re right. I have a feeling that there must be a battle between the two factions to resolve this incident. Could it be that the True Martial Sect wants to rise by stepping over the Inquiring Sword Pavilion?"
...
Voices of quiet discussion arose.
So of the speculations frightened the crowd.
Everyone knows.
The Inquiring Sword Pavilion is no longer the key here.
The key lies in these two spies, as they represent the face of the Inquiring Sword Pavilion. So, many people are standing by here.
The twin sisters Chen Xing and Chen Yue also arrived around the area.
Under the order of the Town North King, they settled in True Martial City to protect Li Ling at crucial monts, and therefore they were also very concerned about the conflict between the True Martial Sect and the Inquiring Sword Pavilion.
"Sister, what should we do if a war breaks out between the Inquiring Sword Pavilion and the True Martial Sect?"
Chen Xing rolled her eyes:
"Do you even need to ask? Of course, we’ll support the True Martial Sect. The Prince sent us here not just to protect the Crown Prince; he has high hopes for the True Martial Sect. As long as the Crown Prince’s safety is ensured, we must also assist the True Martial Sect."
"If the True Martial Sect truly cannot withstand it, the Prince’s na is still useful."
Chen Yue’s eyes widened:
"When did the Prince say this?"
"Naturally, he told quietly. Sister, you’re unreliable; the Prince knows it well."
Being teased like this by Chen Xing, Chen Yue imdiately smiled wryly.
In the distance.
Qin Yun and the Southern Border Saintess looked over from a high pavilion, and with their vision, they could easily perceive everything happening here.
The Southern Border Saintess raised her eyebrows slightly:
"The actions of the True Martial Sect are indeed unexpected. No wonder they can cultivate a prodigy like Saint Heir Qin."
Her words carried a nonchalant tone. Previously, after failing to plant spies, she was preparing to take other actions, but before she could make a move, news of the True Martial Sect sealing the mountain erged, and now they seemingly challenged the Inquiring Sword Pavilion.
Qin Yun gazed coldly at the Southern Border Saintess with anger:
"Saintess, I am no longer a mber of the True Martial Sect. Stop ntioning this matter. Instead of wasting ti, you’d better focus on your Southern Border Alliance affairs."
The Southern Border Saintess turned and t his gaze.
They looked at each other like a couple, but without the tenderness, the Southern Border Saintess first chuckled. She did not know why, but she always found teasing Qin Yun amusing.
"It’s Yiyi’s fault. Saint Heir Qin, please calm down." She offered an apology, her usually cold voice taking on a rare hint of softness.
Qin Yun turned his head away.
But in his heart, he couldn’t help but think, is the Southern Border Saintess nad Yiyi?
The Southern Border Saintess changed the subject:
"What does Saint Heir Qin think will happen to the Inquiring Sword Pavilion?"
Qin Yun said calmly:
"There must be a battle between them."
"Then who has the upper hand?"
"Since the True Martial Sect has taken this initiative, it ans they do not fear the Inquiring Sword Pavilion, nor do they fear the Heart Inquiry Sword."
Upon hearing Qin Yun’s words, the Southern Border Saintess’s gaze flickered.
"If that’s the case, the strength True Man Tianjian displayed last ti against the Thunder Shock Blade Venerate might not be enough. Perhaps, this ti we could see another martial arts strong person who can emulate the powers of others?"
Qin Yun was shocked at heart but did not respond.
The Southern Border Saintess continued speaking to herself:
"Neither the Southern Border nor your Demon Sect can be fooled easily."
During their conversation.
Disturbances had already started in the distant sky.
Vaguely, a few figures could be seen stepping through the air, arriving before True Martial City in the blink of an eye.
Qin Yun and the Southern Border Saintess both focused their gaze in that direction.
Not just them.
All eyes were drawn over there.
The leading figure was an old man with white hair and an indifferent gaze, holding no sword yet exuding an overbearing sharpness, causing others’ eyes to sting, too painful to look at directly.
Soone recognized him.
"It’s Gu Changhe, the Supre Elder of the Inquiring Sword Pavilion with the Heart Inquiry Sword!"
"He really has co out from seclusion! This is truly serious now!"
Many eyes widened involuntarily, their hearts beating like a drum.
This peerless strong person, ranked fourteenth on the Celestial Being List, is a living legend. Previously, many thought he might appear, but considered it unlikely, thinking instead that the Sect Leader of the Inquiring Sword Pavilion and several other Celestial Beings might handle the matter.
But now it seems.
They guessed wrong; the True Martial Sect or perhaps the weight of True Man Tianjian is greater than they imagined.
Besides Gu Changhe, the Sect Leader of the Inquiring Sword Pavilion, Tang Qiu was present, along with one Celestial Human Realm mber and several Primordial Core Realm mbers, forming a formidable lineup.
In full view of the public.
Gu Changhe and others slowly approached the gate of True Martial City.
They looked up at the two pitiful figures, Gu Changhe’s expression remaining calm and indifferent, but Tang Qiu’s pupils constricted, and anger rose. He had personally sent these two to True Martial Mountain, reminding them carefully beforehand and promising that if they returned with the True Martial inheritance and the True Martial Sword Monunt’s secrets, they would surely be heroes of the Inquiring Sword Pavilion.
Yet unexpectedly, the reunion was in this scene.
The two spies were overjoyed upon seeing Tang Qiu, but dared not show it.
In front of the city gate.
A few figures approached.
