1306: thought

The Celestial Evolution Sect Supreme Grandmaster clearly understood that a Thirteen-Order expert from outside and a Thirteen-Order expert born locally were completely different Concepts.

For example, no matter how strong the Devouring Sun Demon God King was, he was still an outsider. His influence in the Eastern Domain depended on how long he stayed. Once he left, the influence would not disappear immediately, but it would not last long either.

However, White Jade City's Breakthrough to Thirteen-Order would inevitably cause changes that would affect the entire Eastern Domain's structure, bringing fundamental impacts to all of them and all their forces.

Just in these two days, the power holders on the Yao Race side had secretly sent messages.

No one was prepared to face a powerful force that was a level higher than themselves.

At this moment.

After the Celestial Evolution Sect Supreme Grandmaster's words fell, the expressions of the several experts present became solemn.

The Taiyimen Sect Leader put away his smile, his fingers subconsciously tapping on the table.

If things truly developed as the Celestial Evolution Sect Supreme Grandmaster said, among those present, his pressure would be the greatest.

After all, the Taiyi Gate's sphere of influence bordered the Sun Moon Sword Sect. If White Jade City wanted to expand, the first target he would set his sights on would definitely be the Taiyi Gate.

“What Fellow Daoist Tianyan said is only one possibility. There is still a tribulation in front of White Jade City. He can only consider other things after overcoming it…”

Wuji Old Daoist of Butian Pavilion then spoke:

“Wang Xiaotu killed two Twelve-Order Peak Experts in one battle. In terms of combat power alone, he can compare to a Thirteen-Order.”

“If White Jade City cannot resolve Wang Xiaotu in the duel three days later, any grand plans he has will vanish into thin air.”

“Fellow Daoist Wuji is right. The worries we have now all have a premise, which is that White Jade City wins the duel three days later.”

“But, can he really win? Even if he wins, can he kill Wang Xiaotu?”

The Huangtiandao Sect Master said word by word at this moment, and by the end, his tone became playful.

“Indeed, even if Wang Xiaotu is not a Thirteen-Order, he is probably not far from it. He is closer to the Dominator Realm than all of us.”

“Heaven has the virtue of cherishing life. Every expert who has the opportunity to Breakthrough to Thirteen-Order is a pillar of our Human Race and should not die in internal strife.”

The Golden Light Temple Ancestor clasped his hands, saying with a benevolent expression.

The words of the few instantly gave a new solution to the current predicament.

“Haha, it’s still good to hear what Fellow Daoist Dao Yan says. Since White Jade City has already stepped into the Thirteen-Order, we cannot restrain him, so let’s find an opponent who can restrain him.”

The Taiyimen Sect Leader said with a smile:

“Wang Xiaotu comes from Yaoguang Realm and will return to Yaoguang Realm sooner or later. As long as he is here, White Jade City will be restrained.”

“In the duel three days later, no matter what, we must preserve Wang Xiaotu's life.”

The other few nodded slightly upon hearing this.

White Jade City was indeed powerful now, but he was not invincible after all. With external forces restraining him, it was impossible and he would not dare to antagonize them.

“Since that is the case, then during the decisive battle three days later, we must do our best to preserve Wang Xiaotu's life.”

The Celestial Evolution Sect Supreme Grandmaster slowly said upon seeing this.

Everyone readily agreed to his proposal.

However, at this moment, the communication jade slips on their bodies vibrated simultaneously.

“Wang Xiaotu just entered the Third Defense Line and went straight to the Sword Pavilion?”

After reading the received message, everyone's faces couldn't help but show surprise.

White Jade City had already made a Breakthrough to Thirteen-Order, yet Wang Xiaotu still dared to swagger in and challenge him.

Was this arrogance? Or extreme confidence in his own strength?

“The Devouring Sun Demon God King has left the God King Palace and is now also rushing to the Sword Pavilion.”

The Celestial Evolution Sect Supreme Grandmaster received another message at this moment.

“Could it be that the Devouring Sun Demon God King is going to intervene?”

The Huangtiandao Sect Master asked doubtfully upon hearing this.

“It would naturally be best if the Devouring Sun Demon God King makes a move, but we cannot place all our hopes on him. Let’s go, we’ll also go and see.”

The Celestial Evolution Sect Supreme Grandmaster shook his head, stood up first, and walked out of the hall.

Everyone quickly followed suit upon seeing this.

…

As undercurrents surged in the Third Defense Line and many cultivators who received the news left their residences, Wang Chen had already arrived outside the Sword Pavilion.

The Sun Moon Sword Sect, no, to be precise, the Sword Pavilion's station in the Third Defense Line, covered an extremely vast area. Looking around, the continuous palace complexes seemed almost endless.

And in the very center, a towering building, like a giant sword piercing into the clouds, was incredibly conspicuous.

In the entire Third Defense Line, there was no building taller than this Sword Pavilion.

If one stood at the top and looked in all directions, one would probably experience a Concept of overlooking all mountains.

At this moment.

Wang Chen stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes calmly looking at the group of extremely nervous Sword Pavilion Disciples in front of him.

Although he did not emit any Aura, just standing there brought immense pressure to the Sword Pavilion Disciples, making them feel as if a Mount Tai was pressing down on them, making it difficult to breathe.

As the saying goes, a man's name casts a shadow. Standing next to an existence who could easily kill a Twelve-Order Peak Expert, everyone felt that their lives would no longer belong to them in the next second.

“Wang Senior, the day of the duel has not yet arrived. May I ask why you have come to my Sword Pavilion?”

Among the many Sword Pavilion Disciples, a seemingly leading figure bravely stepped forward and respectfully asked.

Although both sides were enemies, the insurmountable gap in strength made them involuntarily feel awe in their hearts.

“I calculated with my fingers, three days later is not a good day for a burial, so tell White Jade City to come out and die now.”

Looking at the Sword Pavilion Disciples who could barely stand in front of him, Wang Chen was too lazy to make things difficult for them, saying in a very casual tone.

“You…”

Upon hearing his words, although the many Sword Pavilion Disciples were fearful in their hearts, anger also appeared on their faces.

White Jade City had always been like a god in their hearts, and now that he had achieved the Thirteen-Order Dominator and established the Sword Pavilion, their worship for White Jade City was even more profound.

Hearing Wang Chen being so arrogant at this moment, telling White Jade City to come out and die, immediately caused many to feel murderous intent.

“Is the Master of my Sword Pavilion someone you can disrespect and insult?”

The leading Sword Pavilion Disciple drew his long sword, pointing it directly at Wang Chen, his eyes filled with chilling murderous intent.

In an instant, the Sword Pavilion Disciples behind him followed suit, the sound of sword blades unsheathing echoing endlessly.

Although they knew they were not a match for the person in front of them, they would never tolerate the other party insulting the god in their hearts.

However…

Wang Chen didn't even look at these guys, his gaze merely fixed on the area behind them.

“Retreat, you are not his match.”

Suddenly, an indifferent voice echoed in the ears of everyone present.

The Sword Pavilion Disciples turned their heads to look and saw White Jade City, dressed in green robes with a long sword at his waist, floating down from the top of the Sword Pavilion.
