"You are..."
Cao Erzhu looked at the handso scholar before him with guarded eyes, feeling that he had seen him sowhere before.
"Tower Master?"
"You are that Tower Master?"
The appearance of the All Ti Forgotten Sorrow Pavilion was sudden, and so was this person's arrival.
It took Cao Erzhu a good while to rember that when Dao Qiongcang had used his body, he had visited the pavilion with his family and seen this man.
"Are you here looking for Brother Shou?"
Cao Erzhu knew he had no prior acquaintance with this man; it was very likely he ca because of Brother Shou.
But looking to one side...
Ever since the tree gate disappeared, Dao Qiongcang was gone.
Lord Shou imdiately sat down cross-legged and opened the Will Path Upanishad array without saying another half sentence and entered the state of epiphany.
Cao Erzhu felt that for the ti being, Brother Shou probably wouldn't be waking up.
"Last ti I was looking for Brother Shou, he was also cultivating."
"His cultivation should not be disturbed, and it will likely take a long ti. You probably want to say goodbye to him before you leave, right?"
Cao Erzhu felt like he had beco Brother Shou's spokesperson.
But being a re mouthpiece was of no use; without the Heavenly Realm Core, he had no way to open the tree gate to let this person leave, so he could only suggest:
"Why don't we sit down together and wait for Brother Shou to wake up?"
"Or you could commit suicide?"
Uh, that didn't sound very polite...
Cao Erzhu scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, hurrying to wave his hand and follow up with goodbye.
Before long, the All Ti Forgotten Sorrow Pavilion in front faded away, and the figure of that Tower Master also disappeared.
"Eh?"
Cao Erzhu furrowed his brows, thinking hard for a mont.
This Tower Master seed to have talked a lot with him, and yet it felt like he hadn't said a word; he couldn't rember what he had just said...
"Forget it."
If he couldn't rember, then he wouldn't dwell on it.
Cao Erzhu glanced at Brother Shou who was seriously cultivating, pulled away so distance, and also sat down cross-legged.
What was Brother Shou so urgently cultivating?
The Lightning Upanishad array diagram gradually unfolded, and with such doubts, Cao Erzhu closed his eyes and soon entered the state of insight too.
...
In the Southern Region, Feng Family City.
The streets were bustling with people, shoulder to shoulder.
All sorts of "ancient swordsn" wearing conical hats, veils, dressed in sword robes, long gowns, walking with chests out and heads held high, gathered in one city.
Every passerby either carried two swords on their back, wore three swords at their waist, held a long sword upside down, or leaned a sword over their shoulder...
No one went without a sword.
It was as if this wasn't the Feng Family City, but the Fringe Moon Immortal City.
On both sides of the street, the situation was no longer as it used to be in the Feng Family City; now, it was filled with various small stalls selling treasures that ancient swordsn wouldn't normally seek out.
Moreover, from day to night, the calls that never ceased for twelve hours had been going on for almost a month now:
"Take a look, co and see, freshly predicted list of the Seven Sword Deities, with a 90% hit rate, personally predicted by a real ancient swordsman, Mr. Tang, only sold for ten thousand Spirit Crystals."
"Gu Qingyi has co out of seclusion in the Eastern Region and will land in the Southern Region today. Entry tickets for observing his arrival at the official pass are only sold for six thousand Spirit Crystals. Gu Qingyi has a 90% chance to arrive via the official pass teleportation portal. Do you not wish to witness the deanor of a future Sword Deity? Co buy a ticket, senior!"
"Don't miss out on passing by, the fad sword 'Broken Sparrow,' rumored to have been engraved on the Ancient Aunt Pattern Tablet, is given away for free to the fated, and the fateless can buy fate for one hundred thousand Spirit Crystals. How about it, ancient swordsman, want to take a look?"
"Shocking news! The new Seven Sword Deities' list doesn't need to be awaited until tomorrow; it can be freshly revealed today! Lord Shou is unexpectedly ranked second, and he is just the first! Who is he? Only thirty thousand Spirit Crystals, Hua Zhuo Pavilion will unveil it for you!"
"..."
Xiao Wanfeng, with a large sword case on his back, pushed through the crowded street.
The breakfast at bun turned into a flattened at pie after passing through the busiest street leading to the First Viewing Platform, the juices nowhere to be found, having been absorbed by soone's clothing.
He opened his mouth, hesitated while looking at the at pie in his hand, and finally chose to gulp down today's breakfast in one bite.
"Burp~"
There was only one day left until the Seven Sword Deities' list was announced.
These days, the Southern Region was incredibly lively, with Feng Family City being the liveliest of all.
All manner of demons and goblins had surfaced.
Ancient swordsn who had never been seen outside of Fringe Moon Immortal City and Burial Sword Tomb were now everywhere in the Southern Region.
They would say "It is said by Bazhun'an" or claim "i Siren once said so."
Little do they know that, in the mouths of real ancient swordsn, only "Eighth Sword Immortal" and "Master Siren" are ntioned.
"Can't even pretend properly..."
Xiao Wanfeng muttered to himself and looked towards the First Viewing Platform from afar; mortals could no longer squeeze into the innermost area as of today.
The inner and outer cities of the Feng family were even more bustling the day before the list announcent.
Right now, the First Viewing Platform was almost the throne of various occurrences. Death apostles were reserving seats since the Southern Region had no shortage of "ancient swordsn" able to disguise themselves after committing cris.
At the mont, the platform was screening the Sword Deity's battles.
Not a live broadcast but a battle that attracted the most attention six days ago.
Lai, against Beibei in the Central Region.
Beibei, naturally, was Sword Deity Bei, the forr defeated opponent of Number One Sword Deity under Lord Shou's sword in Jade Capital City.
Who was Lai?
Sword Deity Lai, also known as Alai.
The "Lai" from "Hua Lai greets Lord Shou from the northern sky!"
Before the initial list of the Seven Sword Deities ca out and even up to six days ago, not many knew who Alai was.
Now, the world knows.
"Illusion Sword Technique, Hua Lai..."
Sword Deity Lai on the platform, wearing a bright green long robe decorated with bright red large flowers and wearing a small golden daisy on his ear, looked quite eye-catching.
