Sword Emperor

Because of the sudden news, Sun Bing didn't pay any attention to the dishes in front of him. He just took a few sips of the wine and left the tavern after paying the bill.    

    

After that, Sun Bing took a deep breath and his facial expression remained unchanged. He followed Waiter's instructions and walked along the main road. After walking for dozens of miles, he finally saw a majestic mansion.    

    

This mansion could be said to be extremely luxurious. Its entire body was forged from pure star gold. It was branded with numerous inscriptions, especially the three big words' City Lord's Mansion 'on top of the door. It was vigorous and powerful, and contained the majestic spirit, making it hard for people to look directly at it.    

    

Right next to the door of the City Lord's Mansion, there was a door in full bloom. An old man was standing inside with a kind expression on his face. In front of him were young geniuses who were giving out information according to their orders.    

    

"It seems like this is the registration location mentioned by Waiter." Upon seeing this scene, Sun Bing didn't even need to confirm it before he murmured and walked forward.    

    

However, there were already more than ten people in front of Sun Bing. This was only the number of people who had registered. Of course, Sun Bing wasn't worried about his own strength.    

    

If it was a direct confrontation, even the genius Dark Soul of City Lord's Mansion wouldn't be a match for Sun Bing. The only thing that gave him a headache was that it would be troublesome if he went through that series of matches.    

    

While Sun Bing was thinking, the group in front of him started moving. Finally, it was Sun Bing's turn. A cold voice interrupted his thoughts.    

    

"Are you here to sign up too? Then name, cultivation level, what are you good at? Where did you come from? "    

    

Instantly, Sun Bing woke up from his daze, but his face didn't reveal any flaws. In order to hide his identity, Sun Bing couldn't help but speak slowly, "My name is Jian Jue, and I'm a Ninth Level of the Life and Death Stage. I'm a swordsman. As for the location, I'm in a place called Luo Yuncheng, and it's countless of Starry Domain away from here."    

    

Upon hearing this, Sun Bing could clearly see a trace of surprise in the old man's eyes. "I never thought that I would see a swordsman here. Alright, take this nameplate. There's information about you in it. The competition will begin in seven days. "    

    

"Mm."    

    

Sun Bing received the nameplate with a calm expression, turned around and left. After all, there were still seven days left. Although it wasn't a long time, it couldn't be said to be short. Sun Bing could use this opportunity to recuperate.    

    

Turning his head, Sun Bing entered the tavern and opened a small courtyard. After that, he entered the tavern. At least, before the battle began, Sun Bing would never come out.    

    

Of course, the reason Sun Bing entered the small courtyard wasn't because he wanted to go into seclusion. In order to deal with such a battle, even though he had never seen his opponent before, he still had absolute confidence in himself.    

    

What Sun Bing needed to pay attention to was the rules of this battle. He also needed to carefully understand the information contained within the nameplate.    

    

Therefore, after entering the small courtyard, Sun Bing's spiritual strength immediately probed into the nameplate. After that, it surged out from the nameplate. A complicated message was so dense that it almost filled Sun Bing's head.    

    

This was also because Sun Bing's spiritual soul was very powerful, and it wasn't affected by it at all. In just a short moment, the information was already clear in his mind, and Sun Bing's eyes revealed a trace of understanding.    

    

This battle was indeed just like what Waiter had said in the first place. It was a selection of servants, but the competition was incomparably fierce. Only the top eight cultivators were qualified to be selected. After all, there were only four clans... Each genius could only bring two servants with them.    

    

After knowing this, what Sun Bing needed to think about was how much strength he should reveal in the battle. Furthermore, he couldn't reveal any flaws. He absolutely couldn't allow any situation where he could easily crush his opponent. Otherwise, it would be too obvious.    

    

There was one more thing. That was the problem with the Xuanyuan Sword. If it was outside the Dark City, Sun Bing would have no problem using this to fight his enemies. As long as he eliminated the root of the problem, no one would be able to find any flaws.    

    

However, if it was the battle seven days later, it would be different. The person who carried the Xuanyuan Sword was almost the ultimate weapon in the Holy Artifact. It would attract a lot of attention. One should know that the elders of the four big families would go and watch it.    

    

An ordinary cultivator might not be able to recognize the weapon, but how could such an experienced person not know about it? Therefore, at that time, he could only use one King Artifact at most.    

    

This was also good for Sun Bing's sword case. After such a long period of time, he had stored an unknown amount of longsword. As for the King Artifact grade longsword, there were countless of them, and it could be easily concealed.    

    

In the next few days, all of Sun Bing's attention was focused on how to conceal his strength. Unknowingly, seven days had passed. In the small courtyard that was covered in dust, Sun Bing's figure slowly walked out.    

    

In fact, it wasn't just Sun Bing. The doors of many other courtyards opened at the same time because they were the same as Sun Bing. They were the cultivators who had come to participate in this selection.    

    

Among the crowd, Sun Bing even saw the cultivators he met at the dining table on the first day. It was their discussion that allowed Sun Bing to know about this news.    

    

Because there was a high chance that they would be opponents for each other, everyone's expression was very cold. They didn't even greet each other. They pushed open the door and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion. The following selection would also be held there.    

    

Along the way, they discovered that not only the participants of the selection had gone there. There were also many cultivators who were watching the show. They were also heading towards the City Lord's Mansion. After all, such a grand event was very rare.    

    

Furthermore, watching the battles between the geniuses would provide a great boost to one's strength. Therefore, most of the cultivators were eager to watch the battles.    

    

Not long after, the luxurious gate of the City Lord's Mansion was right in front of them. At this moment, they could see disciples with deep Qi standing on both sides of the gate.    

    

As for Sun Bing and the other cultivators who were participating in the selection competition, they stood at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion through the identity nameplate. There were numerous human heads standing in front of the gate, and every single one of them was emitting a deep Qi.    

    

After all, this battle was very intense. Without sufficient confidence, no one would sign up for the competition. Therefore, almost every single one of them had reached the Ninth Level of the Life and Death Stage, and there were many young men among them.    

    

Right after Sun Bing and the others stood up, the door of City Lord's Mansion was immediately opened, and a middle-aged man with no Qi could be seen standing there. The man was wearing a black robe, but he looked extremely domineering, causing people to hold their breaths.    

    

Immediately, Sun Bing heard a wave of discussion coming from the side, "I never thought that the Dark City Lord would be invited to this selection. The last time I saw him was thirty years ago. This can really be considered a grand event."    

    

"That's not all. Look at the other patriarchs of the Three Clans. They are also here to pay. They are just standing there."    

    

Looking in the direction pointed by the other man, Sun Bing was surprised to see three middle-aged men standing on a tall platform. Their Qi was as deep as the Qi of the Dark City Lord. Their cultivation base was at least at the Saint realm, and they might even be at the Holy King Stage.    

    

Seeing such a warrior, Sun Bing couldn't help but feel lucky in his heart. Fortunately, he had hidden the Xuanyuan Sword in the sword case. Otherwise, he would have been discovered by so many people.
