117: Chapter 117: It's that damn Ah Liang again!

Dong Sangeng, Sword Immortal Lu Zhi, and Great Sword Immortal Chen Xi—these three Great Sword Immortals actually shared the same thought.

That was, if Yang Simu, with such exceptional talent in the Dao of the sword, could take them as his master.

Once Yang Simu became a Great Sword Immortal in the future, it would be a fine story to boast about over drinks with other Sword Cultivators!

As soon as the Hidden Official saw the expressions on these three, she knew what they were planning in their hearts.

The young girl grabbed the pigtails on top of her head and said indignantly, "I had my eyes on this Yang Simu first, you are not allowed to interfere!"

"Besides, how old are you all? Do you have the nerve to fight a young girl like me for someone?"

Hearing this, the other three Great Sword Immortals didn't take it to heart.

Just how old was the Hidden Official?

It was really hard to say.

This Hidden Official had participated in that "Thirteen Contention" back in the day, and she was even the second person to enter the fray.

The Great Yao from the Wilderness World she faced didn't even dare to fight and surrendered on the spot!

Seeing this, the pigtail-wearing girl suddenly said angrily, "Dong Sangeng, Sword Immortal Lu Zhi, and Great Sword Immortal Chen Xi, you three better not rely on your seniority to bully me!"

"If you dare to bully me, I will go to the thatched cottage and reason with the Grand Sword Immortal!"

"Don't you know that I, the Hidden Official, have pitifully few people under my command?"

"Take that blockhead Pang Yuanji, for instance. Aside from his decent talent for Cultivating the sword, he is completely useless at doing anything else!"

In the entire Great Wall of Sword Qi, there were probably not even ten people who would dare to say that Pang Yuanji's talent for Cultivating the sword was just "decent."

The three Great Sword Immortals were noncommittal.

The tall and slightly slender Sword Immortal Lu Zhi looked at the city wall below and smiled:

"Since Yang Simu is not a native Sword Cultivator of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, but instead came from the Haoran World just like me, wouldn't it be more appropriate for me to take him as my Disciple?"

The other three immediately looked at this female Sword Immortal.

Sword Immortal Lu Zhi had stayed at the Great Wall of Sword Qi for too long—so long that many Sword Cultivators had forgotten that she was actually once a rogue cultivator at the Golden Core Stage from the Haoran World!

Dong the Charcoal and Die Zhang both admired this female Sword Immortal immensely!

Because every time Sword Immortal Lu Zhi rushed to the southern battlefield against the Wilderness World, it was a fight to the death!

It was by using this to break through her realm time and again that she achieved her current cultivation level as a Great Sword Immortal!

A Liang, who had already ascended to the Qingming World, was also one of the few friends of Sword Immortal Lu Zhi.

Great Sword Immortal Chen Xi and Dong Sangeng were not to be outdone, immediately mentioning that their respective children, Chen Sanqiu and Dong Bude, were both good friends of Yang Simu.

In short, everyone had their own reasons, and no one could agree.

The four Great Sword Immortals argued endlessly in the air, neither side willing to yield to the other; they were just one step away from drawing their swords and hacking at each other!

The young Sword Cultivators of the Great Wall of Sword Qi rarely saw several Great Sword Immortals arrive together, so they were extremely excited, yet dared not speak aloud.

A moment later, Dong Sangeng, Great Sword Immortal Chen Xi, Sword Immortal Lu Zhi, and the Hidden Official seemed to have reached a consensus and flew down toward the city wall together.

In an instant, the city wall became even more lively.

A crowd of young Sword Cultivators greeted them loudly, one after another calling out "Great Sword Immortal" or "Hidden Official."

At the Great Wall of Sword Qi, there were none of the tedious formalities found in the Sects of the Haoran World.

Many Sword Cultivators even directly summoned their own Natal Flying Swords, hoping that one of the Great Sword Immortals would have the Wisdom Eye to recognize their talent and take them as a Disciple!

Unfortunately, the crowd of Sword Cultivators was disappointed; none of the Great Sword Immortals spoke, but instead flew straight toward the direction of Yang Simu and the others.

Seeing these four Great Sword Immortals coming toward him, Yang Simu was also somewhat surprised.

Fatty Yan, fearing that Yang Simu didn't know who they were, immediately sent a voice transmission to briefly introduce the identities and general background of these four Great Sword Immortals.

To be honest, aside from the young girl with pigtails, he really hadn't recognized the other three at a glance.

Dong Bude immediately jumped off the city wall and, together with Dong Huafu, called out "Old Ancestor" to Dong Sangeng, then bowed to Great Sword Immortal Chen Xi, Sword Immortal Lu Zhi, and the Hidden Official respectively.

Chen Sanqiu, Die Zhang, and Yan Zhuo also greeted them respectfully at the same time.

The golden-haired youth and the young boy in green clothes looked at their Young Master simultaneously.

Yang Simu's expression remained composed, but when he saw the Hidden Official grabbing her pigtails, his heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Because Yang Simu knew that this Hidden Official would eventually defect from the Great Wall of Sword Qi and head to the Wilderness World in the future!

Of course, now that Yang Simu already knew this result in advance, he would definitely find a way to stop it!

The pigtail-wearing young girl seemed to sense Yang Simu's gaze and smiled at him with squinted eyes.

Yang Simu's heart tightened, and he quickly composed himself, smiling, "Junior Yang Simu, from the eastern Baoping Continent, has the honor of meeting you, Senior Sword Immortals."

Huang Zhong and Xiao Qing also immediately bowed and called out, "Greetings, Senior Sword Immortals."

In reality, both of them were extremely terrified at this moment!

After all, they were of the Yao Race, but they were currently facing four Great Sword Immortals of the Upper Five Realms!

Sword Immortal Lu Zhi spoke first, and it was earth-shattering!

Her voice was cold and clear as she said, "Yang Simu, your talent in the Dao of the sword is quite good; all four of us intend to take you as a Disciple."

"Of course, those three are native Sword Cultivators of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, while I, like you, come from the Haoran World."

"If you are willing to Cultivate the Dao of the sword with me, I will definitely teach you everything I know!"

Once these words were spoken, it shocked countless young Sword Cultivators standing on the city wall!

They were all looking forward to it, yet not a single one of them had caught the eye of a Great Sword Immortal.

Yet, all four Great Sword Immortals were fighting to take Yang Simu as their Disciple!

Indeed, without comparison, there is no harm!

Die Zhang, Yan Zhuo, Dong Huafu, Chen Sanqiu, and Dong Bude also couldn't help but open their mouths slightly, looking at the scene with disbelief.

In the ten-thousand-year history of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, there was probably no precedent for four Great Sword Immortals wanting to take the same Sword Cultivator as their Disciple at the same time!

Yang Simu was also somewhat astonished in his heart.

After all, his current cultivation was only at the Grotto-Heaven Realm, and compared to those true geniuses of the Dao of the sword who had already reached the Golden Core Stage, he was still quite lacking!

Of course, if one looked at it from the perspective that Yang Simu had been Cultivating the sword for less than half a year, it was extremely astonishing!

If it were any other Sword Cultivator, they would have already been unable to wait to kneel on the ground and perform the three bows and nine kowtows for apprenticeship.

However, Yang Simu's expression became somewhat conflicted.

Because he had never thought about which Sword Immortal he wanted to take as his master.

With the snatching opportunity system on him, and the help of that Fairy Sister, Yang Simu firmly believed in his heart that he would sooner or later reach the height of the Dao of the sword attained by the people before him.

Or perhaps even stronger!

However, if he were to directly reject the four Great Sword Immortals at this moment, it would be giving them no Face!

Suddenly, Yang Simu thought of a way to satisfy both sides.

Thus, he pretended to have a troubled expression and said:

"To speak from the heart, it is truly a great fortune for me, Yang Simu, to be valued by the four Senior Sword Immortals!"

"If I could learn sword techniques from any of you Seniors, it would be my blessing!"

"However, when I was in the Haoran World, I met a Senior named A Liang. It was he who taught me the Eighteen Stops of Sword Qi and led me onto the path of a Sword Cultivator!"

"I will never forget this great kindness and virtue!"

"Therefore, without Senior A Liang's permission, I absolutely dare not take any of you Senior Sword Cultivators as my master!"

Hearing this, Dong Sangeng's expression turned somewhat ugly. He let out a cold snort and cursed angrily:

"It's that bastard A Liang again!"

As soon as the words fell, Dong Sangeng turned directly into a streak of sword light and vanished from the spot!
