Chapter 385 Unrivaled Enters the Game

Following Xiao Lingchen's yell, the dozens of famous swords enshrined in the Sword Vault suddenly resonated with a loud cry until finally, one of the swords deep inside the vault flew out of its sheath and landed in Xiao Lingchen's hand. Xiao Lingchen swiped it furiously, then the sheath flew out to join the sword. He swung the sword around and returned it to its sheath. Then, he stabbed the sword heavily into the ground.

The long swords in the Sword Vault finally quietened down.

Xiao Lingchen stroked the Celestial Palace sword in his hand and said with a smile, "Back then, Marshal Father only passed me the Dragon Blood spear and wouldn’t give me the Celestial Palace sword. I’ve had a lingering regret all these years but now, it’s all good again. Let’s go. We’ll explore the martial world together."

Those sword bondservants had no intention of stopping him and they retreated back into the darkness.

Xiao Lingchen opened the door and walked out. Outside, the sky was vast with a whole world waiting for him.

White Prince Residence.

Ling Shaohan, who now had a blindfold around his eyes, was listening to an account of everything that had happened in Heavenly Revelations City in the past few days. After he heard everything, he only asked one question.

This question was critical.

Because this question asked about a person who was nearly forgotten.

"Where did Xiao Jingxia go?"

Mingde Emperor had twelve princes and three of them were dead. Besides the three princes who were conferred the title of Prince, the rest did not have any extraordinary talents. So, during this upheaval in Heavenly Revelations City, it was normal for them not to receive any news about it. But, Xiao Jingxia, the poisonous scorpion, was different.

What's more, there hadn’t been news about Xiao Jingxia for a long time. After he was exposed as Xiao Yu’s henchman, he had been missing for a long time.

Xiao Chong frowned slightly and after murmuring to himself for a while, he suddenly raised his head. "Unrivaled City!"

Unrivaled City Under Heaven.

Xiao Jingxia, dressed in fine brocade clothes, stepped out of the carriage.

The five elders of Unrivaled City, together with Wushuang, were there to greet him.

"Even though you’re brothers, you’re definitely not as pleasing to the eye as the blind Prince," Wushuang remarked neither lightly nor pointedly.

The five elders frowned immediately.

Lu Yuzhai was used to him, however, and he scratched his head.

"Hello, Citymater Wushuang," Xiao Jingxia greeted respectfully.

"Your Highness, the eighth prince," Wushuang replied languidly.

Lu Yuzhai sent a light kick at him. "He’s the ninth prince."

Wushuang hurriedly corrected himself, "Ah, Your Highness, the ninth prince."

"It’s fine. I’ve heard that Citymaster Wushuang has a bad memory." Xiao Jingxia turned his head and glanced at the five elders. "We might as well go in and chat."

"No problem. This way, please." Wushuang waved his hand.

The five elders glanced at each other, then turned and followed the rest inside.

In the guest hall.

Wushuang sat down, made a show of pouring some tea, and slowly said, "Seventh prince, is there a reason for your visit?"

Lu Yuzhai whispered helplessly, "Shidi, if you can’t remember his rank order in the family, just address him as Your Highness!"

Xiao Jingxia looked around and asked, "I wonder if old Citymaster Song Yanhui is around?"

Wushuang and Lu Yuzhai's expressions twitched. That day, Song Yanhui, who was half a step short of a sword immortal, left Unrivaled City but lost to Lei Wujie, the disciple of the Snow Moon Sword Immortal. It was an immense shame and humiliation for him. After Song Yanhui returned to Unrivaled City, he had remained secluded in the sword house until a few days ago, he suddenly came out and left. Nobody knew where he had gone.

"He’s gone wandering around the world," Wushuang replied nonchalantly.

"I know where he went," Xiao Jingxia interjected.

"How do you know?" Wushuang's expression suddenly became serious.

historical

"He went to Snow Moon City and tried to challenge the Snow Moon Sword Immortal again, but was forced to remain in Snow Moon City. Now, he’s detained inside and not allowed to leave," Xiao Jingxia said slowly.

"Do you know what you’re talking about?" Lu Yuzhai raised his eyebrows. "What you just said may cause a war in the martial world the likes of which has not been seen in many years."

"I know what I'm talking about. Because my closest brother, His Highness, White Prince Xiao Chong, is also currently being detained in Snow Moon City. They wanted to support Yong’an Prince Xiao Chuhe, so they will detain him there until Xiao Chuhe takes the throne. I’ve come here on my own to beg Unrivaled City for help. Previously, huang-xiong always said that the time was not right, but now, we’ve come to the point where you must come out," Xiao Jingxia said.

Lu Yuzhai asked, "Even if what you said is true, what you’re asking us to do is to amass a large force to invade Snow Moon City. Snow Moon City has been the number one city in the martial world for many years, whereas we, Unrivaled City, has given in for many years. It’s not the best time for us to challenge them now."

"No, now is the best time." Xiao Jingxia emphasised, and said earnestly, "Citymaster Baili Dongjun’s whereabouts are unknown, Li Hanyi has lost most of her martial arts, so among the three citymasters, only Sikong Changfeng is left. Lei Clan Fort and Tang Clan have broken off their relations again, and the long-established Wen Clan has always been an ally in name only. Snow Moon City’s allies are no longer strong. Unrivaled City only has to summon your allies to attack Snow Moon City together. Then, the number one city of the martial world will once again return to the hands of Unrivaled City."

The head elder finally spoke, "So, you’re just here to borrow our Unrivaled City’s hands. You should show your sincerity as well."

"Our warriors from the White Prince Residence will naturally be dispatched when the time comes, and they will be willing to fight to the death for our cause," Xiao Jingxia said solemnly. "Each of our agents has the ability to take on one of Snow Moon City’s martial experts and kill them, including the elders."

The head elder looked at Wushuang. "This is indeed an opportunity."

"No, this is not an opportunity." Wushuang stood up. "I want to rescue shifu, and also rescue Xiao Chong. I had an agreement with him, but.." Wushuang walked right up to Xiao Jingxia's face and peered into his pair of sly and beady eyes. Then, he sneered and waved his fingers lightly.

The sword casket that was leaning against his seat suddenly opened, and a flying sword emitting a frost and cold aura flew out and landed next to Wushuang's fingers. Wushuang wiggled his fingers lightly and the cold sword whirled around slowly as he leaned against Xiao Jingxia's ear and slowly said, "If I find out that you’ve lied to me, you will be dead. I don’t care if you’re the eighth prince or the ninth prince."

Snow Moon City.

Tower of Ascension.

Luo Mingxuan was lying inside sleeping, and his seven long swords were scattered on the ground beside him.

He had been living in the Tower of Ascension for a long time and all this time, nobody came to bother him. Until finally, he was awakened by the sound of a person's footsteps.

Luo Mingxuan yawned and sat up, only to find a person standing in front of him. There was something familiar about him.

One sword and the swallows returned. Song Yanhui.

"Why are you here?" Luo Mingxuan asked irritably.

"I want to see Yin Luoxia, but I don't want to sneak in. The city guardians told me I must challenge this tower. So I came up," Song Yanhui replied evenly.

"So my shifu has no idea?" Luo Mingxuan asked.

Song Yanhui nodded. "Right."

"Then, things will be much simpler. Watch me, I’m going to beat you down!" Luo Mingxuan stood up, and suddenly waved a hand to block Song Yanhui. "But you have to wait for me to get ready."

"Fine." Song Yanhui took a step back.

Luo Mingxuan picked up all his swords, one at a time, placed them back into their sheaths and armed himself until he looked like a hedgehog. Then, he exhaled a long and lazy yawn. "Come on, then."
