Chapter 420: Won

"Stop spouting nonsense!" the Elder from Medicine King Hall snapped.

"Lin Xuan, stop throwing a fit. I’m sure plenty of people know the truth of the matter. What’s the point in denying it? It will only make people scoff at your Medicine King Hall," the Elder from the Cyan Cloud Sect sneered.

In truth, many Sects looked down on the members of the Medicine King Hall.

The founding principle of the Medicine King Hall was to practice medicine to save people and aid the world.

But its members had done the exact opposite. Instead, they used their position to amass wealth, extorting other Sects, charging astronomical prices for Elixir Pills, and even poisoning quite a few people to death.

"Qing Xuanzi, is everything you’re saying true?" At that moment, the face of the Spirit Sword Valley’s Vice Valley Master darkened. Her aura grew unstable as she pressed urgently.

She really didn’t know much about this Cloud Mist Sect, nor had she heard of such matters.

"Of course it’s true. Many of the older folks know about it. Especially this Li Zhengyi—that kid is incredibly strong. It’s said his talent is no weaker than the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor’s! It might even rival it!"

"Furthermore, back when the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor was at his peak and unrivaled in the world, he actually encountered a formidable opponent. That opponent was from the Cloud Mist Sect and fought the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor to a draw! It was after that battle that the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor completely vanished from the public eye."

"The next time anything about him came up was when Chu Feng rose to prominence wielding the Heaven-Slaying Sword."

Qing Xuanzi spoke to the crowd, revealing all the secrets he knew.

"Is the Cloud Mist Sect really hidden that deeply?" the Vice Valley Master of Spirit Sword Valley said. At this point, she was so frustrated she could have coughed up blood.

"It’s not that they’re hidden deeply; they just don’t want to get involved in worldly affairs. They focus solely on their cultivation, which is why they aren’t very well-known. After several hundred years, it’s natural that many Sects have forgotten such a Sect even exists."

"Vice Valley Master, I’m afraid you’re going down this time. Black Blade from the Blood Blade Manor is no match for Li Zhengyi. It looks like you’re about to lose again," Qing Xuanzi said to the Vice Valley Master of Spirit Sword Valley.

In truth, he was starting to feel a bit sorry for the Vice Valley Master of Spirit Sword Valley. She was just incredibly unlucky. Pitted against Li Zhengyi, defeat was a certainty.

The main reason was that no one had paid much attention to this stranger, and the combat strength Li Zhengyi had displayed so far wasn’t particularly impressive. Thus, no one had given him a second thought.

Qing Xuanzi himself had only remembered all this after having someone investigate Li Zhengyi.

"Senior Qing Xuanzi, you’re quite impressive to remember all that," Chu Feng said with a smile. He was thrilled. ’Another hundred Martial Cultivation Spirit Stones are about to be mine.’

"Venerable Chu Feng, you’re truly something else. At this rate, even the largest Sects will be squeezed dry by you." Qing Xuanzi looked at Chu Feng, certain that he must have known about Li Zhengyi’s background and strength all along.

’The only reason he made another bet with the Vice Valley Master of Spirit Sword Valley was to completely fleece her. He’s the type who won’t stop until his target is utterly ruined.’

Between the last round and this one, he had directly won two hundred Martial Cultivation Spirit Stones from Spirit Sword Valley.

That was two hundred stones! Many major powers couldn’t even produce such an amount. It was terrifying.

"When someone insists on giving me money, how could I be so rude as to refuse?" Chu Feng said with a cheerful laugh.

Just then, Chu Feng suddenly spoke up, his voice ringing out, "During the Martial Arts Grand Ceremony, if I catch anyone playing tricks or causing trouble, there will be only one consequence: they will be beaten to death!"

The Martial Arts Venerables held the highest authority during the entire Martial Arts Grand Ceremony, responsible for supervision and maintaining order.

’Anyone dare to cause trouble? They’d better see if their heads are hard enough. If not, they’d just have to take a beating. Of course, for me, pulling a few strings myself is no problem at all. After all, my Divine Soul is so powerful I can make subtle moves at any time without anyone noticing.’

He said this to intimidate the people from Spirit Sword Valley, fearing they might try to cause trouble at a critical moment.

"Venerable Chu Feng is right! Anyone who dares cause a disturbance during the competition, no matter who they are, will be executed without exception!" the Martial Arts Venerable from the Three Swords Sect also declared.

"Anyone who dares to cause chaos will be killed without mercy!" other Martial Arts Venerables chimed in, nodding in agreement.

Anyone who came here to make trouble would meet a tragic end. They would first have to consider whether they could take on twenty-four Martial Arts Venerables.

Soon, the matches in the arena were all wrapping up.

The so-called Black Blade from Blood Blade Manor was directly cut down by Li Zhengyi. One of his arms was severed, and he was gravely injured.

The Seven Kills Sword Master was very prompt, immediately bringing the Martial Cultivation Spirit Stones over to Chu Feng.

Chu Feng didn’t hesitate either, directly handing ten Martial Cultivation Spirit Stones to the Seven Kills Sword Master.

"Venerable Chu Feng, what are you doing? You’ve given me five too many," the Seven Kills Sword Master said.

Chu Feng smiled and said, "Sword Master, this is what you’ve earned."

Hearing this, the Seven Kills Sword Master didn’t dally. He accepted them immediately. With an extra five Martial Cultivation Spirit Stones, his mood brightened considerably.
