Chapter 1595 (Raw 1577): Ice-Snow Sword Luo Feng
Most of the sects in the Purple Sun Region were Rank 1 sects like the Tianyi Sect. There were very few Cloud Sea cultivators in these sects.
Some weaker sects might not even have a Cloud Sea cultivator managing them.
Rank 2 sects needed at least two early-stage Cloud Sea cultivators; otherwise, the sect’s signboard would be in danger of getting torn down at any moment.
There was a total of three Rank 2 sects in the Purple Sun Region, and they were all based near Purple Sun City.
Of course, they were just relatively close. In reality, they were still a distance away.
The three Rank 2 sects were like the overlords of the Purple Sun Region. Only they had the qualifications to establish their headquarters in the Purple Sun Great Realm.
If the other sects wanted to establish their headquarters in the Purple Sun Great Realm, they needed to have the strength of a Rank 2 sect.
Otherwise, their sect could be destroyed at any moment.
There were enormous benefits to establishing a sect around Purple Sun City. Hence, the large sects were strongly opposed to sharing these with others.
Of course, there were quite a lot of unremarkable small factions around the city.
These factions were many in number and possessed varying levels of strength. The three Rank 2 sects could not be bothered with them, nor did they have the time to deal with them.
After all, these small factions posed no threat to their interests.
The Ice-Snow Sword, Luo Feng, was the strongest new talent of the Ice-Snow Mountain Manor, one of the three Rank 2 sects.
Although he was not the strongest true inheritor, his reputation had been growing over the past few years, rising extremely quickly in the entire Purple Sun Region.
The Ice-Snow Sword Luo Feng’s skill at the sword approached perfection. It was said that while a half-step Primal Core Realm cultivator, he had killed several early-stage Minor Primal Core older-generation cultivators.
Now that he was only one step away from the Minor Primal Core Realm, his strength would be even more terrifying.
When he attacked, he was ruthless and vicious. He normally traveled alone and was very proud. Furthermore, he comprehended the sword soul half a year ago, which allowed his reputation to catch up to that of the top disciple of the Ice-Snow Mountain Manor.
Due to Xiao Chen’s white clothes and extraordinary air, people wondered whether he was the Ice-Snow Sword.
The other two Rank 2 sects—the Burning Moon Sect and the Wind Chasing Sect—also had a new talent each that competed with the Ice-Snow Sword, Luo Feng.
However, these two people were not as independent as Luo Feng. They also did not have a nickname like the Ice-Snow Sword as Luo Feng did.
Obtaining such a nickname, from a certain angle, was an acknowledgment of Luo Feng’s strength.
The largest restaurant in Purple Sun City was Idle Cloud Restaurant. The cultivators who came to Purple Sun City would mostly come here to have a drink.
Most importantly, it had heavy foot traffic. Not only could one obtain the latest news at the fastest speed here, but many cultivators also set up stalls on the third floor and above.
This place was also a rather famous market.
After eating and drinking their fill, many people would go up and shop around for a while.
Just at this moment, a white figure slowly walked over on the top-quality cedarwood floor. The clamor of the restaurant immediately hushed.
It seemed like the air even chilled significantly.
“How cold!”
“What a sharp sword intent!”
Many people cast glances at the entrance of the restaurant and saw a white-clad, black-haired man, with a sword in his hand, strolling in.
This person did not have an air of nobility and seemed ordinary. The atmosphere he gave off was somewhat similar to Xiao Chen’s.
The only difference was that this person did not withdraw his sword intent.
The way this person held the ancient sword in his left hand gave the impression that he might draw it at any moment.
It was such a person that caused the entire large hall and second floor of the restaurant to fall silent the moment he entered.
There was no other reason than the scary sword intent that he emanated.
To others, he felt like a treasure sword stabbed into a tall mountain covered in white snow.
Then, this white-clad youth looked around the restaurant casually.
Immediately, everyone whom this youth glanced at felt like a sword slashed right in front of their eyes. It made these people quickly lower their heads and avoid his sharp gaze.
Suddenly, the white-clad youth stopped walking, and his gaze fell on a similarly white-clad youth.
That person did not avoid his gaze. After taking a look, that person merely casually picked up a wine cup and started drinking.
Bladesman? Swordsman?
The white-clad swordsman could only vaguely feel the other party’s sharpness but could not verify the other party’s identity.
After a while, his lips quirked in mockery. What a coward! To think that he does not even have the courage to clash with me!
The white-clad swordsman shook his head and found a seat. Now, the suppressive atmosphere of the restaurant finally settled.
“Xiao Suo, do you know that person?”
The one that the white-clad swordsman noticed was, as might be expected, Xiao Chen.
After Xiao Chen’s group entered the city, they headed straight for Idle Cloud Restaurant. They had not had a good meal in a long time, so they naturally had to eat and drink to their hearts’ content. They would properly enjoy themselves, resting for a while.
Xiao Suo put down his wine cup and replied, “He should be the Ice-Snow Sword, Luo Feng, a disciple of the Rank 2 Ice-Snow Mountain Manor. I heard that he is very strong. Of course, he is definitely nothing compared to Big Brother.”
This way of speaking—ending his words with some flattery of Xiao Chen—had turned into a habit.
Xiao Chen could not be bothered about it, either. This Ice-Snow Sword did possess extraordinary strength.
In this Great Thousand Realms, due to the lack of a bottleneck like that of the Kunlun Realm, most people focused on raising their cultivation. Those who could comprehend things like saber souls or Domains were considered to have outstanding talent.
This person also materialized a soul from his sword intent. Furthermore, his sword soul already reached sixty percent comprehension. He was indeed quite capable.
However, that was all there was to it. There was still no comparison to a swordsman like Chu Chaoyun, who comprehended the Sword Dao’s Great Dao Energy.
Of course, Chu Chaoyun’s current cultivation definitely could not compare to the other party’s.
If Xiao Chen did not have the fortuitous encounter of refining the ten-thousand-year-old Baleful Yin Energy, it would be hard to say who would win between him and this Ice-Snow Sword.
However, Xiao Chen believed that as time went by, Chu Chaoyun would continue to grow.
In this Thousand Great Realms, Chu Chaoyun would be like a fish in water, showing astonishing growth.
“Interesting! Just a coachman, and you actually dare to evaluate our Ice-Snow Mountain Manor’s Ice-Snow Sword. Are you tired of living?”
Just at this moment, a voice came from a nearby table as that person who spoke mockingly looked at the simply dressed Xiao Suo.
There were two men and two women at that table.
The one who spoke was one of the alluring women. As she looked at Xiao Chen and Xiao Suo, she smiled coldly. “Do you think that by wearing white, you can compare yourself to the Ice-Snow Sword? What kind of country bumpkin are you? How ignorant!”
“We two brothers might not be the top disciples of the sect. However, even when considering the entire Purple Sun Region, our talent with the sword is hard to come by. What about you? Never mind that you are so ugly, are your eyes on your butt as well?”
As Xiao Chen held his wine cup, he suppressed his laughter. This Xiao Suo was truly unfortunate.
When entering the city, someone attempted to rob him. When entering a restaurant to eat, a casual word from him caused an alluring woman to scold him.
Clearly, this alluring woman was someone who worshiped the Ice-Snow Sword of Ice-Snow Mountain Manor, not permitting anything to soil his name.
“Just ignore it,” Xiao Chen said indifferently as he put down his wine cup. So, Xiao Suo had no choice but to sit back down and drink depressedly.
However, Xiao Suo could not repress the rage in his heart. “Bang!” The wine cup in his hand shattered.
Xiao Suo was a pirate, someone with a fiery temper. He was already upset with Xiao Chen. If not for the deterrence of the Jiao Snake, he would not be so subservient to Xiao Chen, obeying every command.
Xiao Suo would have long since drawn his saber and chopped him down.
As rage burned, the strong aura of a Primal Core cultivator spread out, which instantly startled the four people at the next table.
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, a sword light flashed like fleeting light.
Xiao Suo stretched out his hand and caught the wine cup that this sword light swept over.
Immediately, the people in the restaurant exclaimed softly, “The Ice-Snow Sword made a move.”
“What a fast sword light! The Ice-Snow Sword truly lives up to his reputation.” Most of the people in the restaurant failed to see how the Ice-Snow Sword sent out this move.
“This Venerate, this is my junior sister. She was rude. I offer you this cup of wine in apology. Here, I’ll drink first.”
After the Ice-Snow Sword drained his wine, he stood up and looked at Xiao Suo before saying, “However, not just anyone can discuss me, the Ice-Snow Sword. Although you are a Minor Primal Core Realm Venerate, you are still not qualified!”
“How arrogant!”
Soft exclamations arose within the restaurant. Unexpectedly, this Ice-Snow Sword truly dared to oppose a Minor Primal Core cultivator.
It appeared that the rumors of the Ice-Snow Sword having killed Minor Primal Core cultivators were true.
“After this cup of wine, I’ll take it as nothing happened,” the Ice-Snow Sword said, heavily enunciating every syllable as he looked at Xiao Suo.
The four people at the neighboring table, who were originally frightened silly, immediately regained their boldness.
This was especially so for that alluring woman. As she looked at the Ice-Snow Sword, her eyes sparkled.
The Ice-Snow Mountain Manor’s Ice-Snow Sword, Xiao Chen repeated in his mind. Then, he completely forgot about this name.
Xiao Chen had seen many such people before—proud and aloof, thinking themselves better than others, extremely arrogant.
However, the Purple Sun Region was merely an average-sized astral region in the Grave Sea Cluster. The Grave Sea Cluster was not even at the core of the entire Great Thousand Realms.
Where did such pride come from for this person to be so arrogant?
Although Xiao Chen was not as old as Xiao Suo, his mental state was much higher than that of this group of people.
To Xiao Chen, this Ice-Snow Sword was merely a dancing clown. There was no need even to remember his name.
Xiao Chen’s expression remained calm, showing no change. Then he said indifferently, “Just drink.”
Xiao Suo revealed a dissatisfied expression. However, since Xiao Chen said it, Xiao Suo still drained the wine in the cup.
