Lord Shadow

Chapter 517: Challenging the flowing sword arts meet (2)

When they saw the Three Devils of Han and saw their capabilities they know how hard this task would be for them.

The Three Devils of Han look at the guest that have come to the mountain.

They did not care about these people but they care about the gaze of that Sword Immortal in the hut.

They could feel his gaze on them.

The Crippled Devil Han Xiao was taught a powerful movement technique by the Sword Immortal which is why he could imitate those speed akin of a grandmaster level

He himself did not reach that level yet but because of the lightness technique he was imparted by the Sword Immortal, he looks like he could run away from a grandmaster even if he met one.

And he is confident that if he trained this technique, his speed would improve and if he does meet a grandmaster level martial artist when he travels the Jianghu, he is confident he could outrun them

These feat alone had convinced the Three Devils that the Sword Immortal that Xi Feng has taken as his teacher is the real deal.

He is probably so powerful that even if Old Dragon Li and Old Immortal Tian join hands, they would still not be able to defeat the Sword Immortal.

The Crippled Devil have always been the leader of the Three Devils and they three have always only have one wish.

That Sword Immortal promised them that he would fulfill their request so they did not mind being a servant for him.

He looks at the guest and they then welcome them

‘Welcome to the Five Element Mountain. We did not prepare much but there is a tent for you to wait for a while before you could challenge Young master’ The Crippled Devil then pointed toward the two large open pitched tent

‘Choose where you would sit. The Young Master is preparing himself’ They nodded and some people quickly go toward the tent

As they walked to the tent, they look around this heavenly scenery on top of the mountain. Then some people even spotted that there is a residence in the distance.

It is a grand residence. From afar it looks like a small palace. Some of those people who look at it thought to themselves

‘While this Xi Feng is not famous before his name rank in high in the List of Swordsman he has already been living such a high life on top of such a beautiful mountain’

Some of them even regretted that they did not open a branch of their schools here on top of this mountain.

The fact was that the reason many sects and school of martial arts didn’t open branches in Silhae because Silhae is a small kingdom and there is little to no pool talents that could be cultivated.

It is not that they are looking down on Silhae, it is just fact.

Compared to Silhae, Yong and Zhou have more people to recruit and as such there is more people that could be trained into a talent for the sect.

Zhu Yao cupped his hand and then lead the orthodox sect toc choose one of the tent. The heterodox set led by Wen Zhong also takes their position.

They are situated on both the eastern and western area of the mountaintop.

They are not to close that they could attack each other easily, but they are not too far that they couldn’t be seen by the others.

Unlike the Wulin Competition, there is no such things as a tent or quarters for noble personages and tents for different sects or schools.

There is only two large open pitched tent and no refreshment or any such thing.

If you want to eat, then you should have eaten before climbing the mountain.

Some people even went around the area and picked some fruits from the trees that is all around the mountain top.

When they taste the fruit they could not help but praised it sweet juice and its sweet smell. It is also quite refreshing as those who eat the fruit felt a bit fuller.

The Three Devils on the other hand went not to the residence but retreated themselves in front of a small but decent looking hut.

They stand in front of that hut, like they were guarding it. Then they did not speak another words.

Zhu Yao has taken his seat, sitting on the ground like all the others. Behind them there is a few hundred martial artist of the orthodox sect.

He wanted to meditate for a while and calm his heart and reflected on his sword arts before he challenges Xi Feng.

He wanted to be in his most focused state. The area around this top of the mountain made it easier for him to calm his heart.

But just right before he closes his eyes to meditate, he looks toward a hut.

It grabs his attention.

There is a small hut on top of this mountain top.

At first, he dismisses it as just a normal hut but then as he looks more intently he realizes that the hut seems well maintained and doesn’t seem to be a hut where it is used to store tools.

Around the hut there is some flowers blooming and flying butterflies. On the center of that hut there is a large tree that pierced through its roof.

The branches of that tree is full of juicy and round fruit

It is quite a peculiar hut.

There is also the fact that the Three Devils of Han stand in front of that hut and instead of saying they just stand there to better supervise the people on top of the mountain for doing something stupid, to Zhu Yao eyes, it looks like the Three Devils of Han is guarding that hut.

His eyes narrowed. But he did not feel anything from the hut.

‘Hmm’

Is that hut a special hut or something? He thought to himself. But then he read the carving on the plaque on top of the door.

‘Immortal Sword Hut’

He thought to himself

‘How arrogant’ And he is not the only one thinking like this. The others also notice the hut and the plaque of words on top of the door of that hut

Even the others sect also sees that plaque. When they read the words, they frowned and there is disdain on their faces

And clearly there are some that is dissatisfied with such a grand title.

‘Immortal Sword Hut! Ptui’ The other look toward the voice. The orthodox sect immediately knows who that person spitting into the grass.

But they did not say anything.

Their feeling itself is complicated in the matter. And while Xi Feng is supported by the orthodox sect, that doesn’t mean that some people did not envy his good luck.

After all, if he did not meet Old Dragon Li and saw a few pages from the Flowing Swords Arts would he truly become such a hot rising swordsman.

They are also envious of the crowd that have turned up for this so called Challenging the Flowing Sword Arts Meet.

That is what the people of Jianghu had been calling this gathering when they first heard that so many martial artists come to Silhae to trade pointers with Xi Feng

That man who spitted to the ground is not done with his insults as he pointed his finger at that hut

‘This Xi Feng had a big head to name such an ugly looking hut Immortal Sword Hut. What is he going to do next? Will he lecture the world on swordsmanship just because he manages to master the ten sword moves of the Flowing Sword Arts! I need to teach this youngster a lesson!’

The people behind him cheered.

Li Feiyu was the one that loudly remarked this. Li Feiyu is one of the Sun Devouring Sect Elder and he is known as one of the Twin Suns of the Sun Devouring Sect.

He is an Elder but he is also young. He is one of the most talented young talents of the Sun Devouring Sect

Zhu Yao and the others orthodoxy sect did not really refute what Li Feiyu said.

While the orthodox sect is supporting Xi Feng they too were not comfortable for Xi Feng to wrote an Immortal Sword name like that.

Immortal Sword is just a simple matter of naming to the common folk but to the martial arts world name represent reputations and as such it is a matter of truth

One could not claim to be the strongest swordsman in the world and not expect people not to challenge him or her

And as such, in the martial arts world, when you give title to yourself or your schools or sects, it is always better to be humble and truthful.

If not, others would surely would ask you to prove it. Many schools have been decimated because they did not know how to be humble.

Immortal Sword is a domineering name to give to a humble hut. And such title would surely provoke challenges from people who do not believe in the claim.

After all, whose here had not believe that their sword technique is better than the others?

Claiming that hut as the Immoral Sword Hut, is like saying that he Xi Feng has a sword that would lasted for the ages.

An Immortal Sword.
