Ming Shu didn’t ask them about the details of this issue.
The people from the various clans and sects were happy that she didn’t ask so no one came forward to tell her more.
However, now that she heard the details, she realized that something was amiss.
If the sword was so easy to get, why were these people still having a competition? For show?
“Is there anything wrong with the sword?”
The Flying Tiger Clan’s leader coughed and said, “There is nothing wrong with it. It is just that... it can’t be taken out of the rock.”
Ming Shu: “...”
No wonder they were so benevolent and let everyone have a chance to participate in the competition.
Ming Shu said, “Then why are we having a competition? You should just ask everyone to take turns to try and pull the sword out.”
The Flying Tiger Clan’s leader: “...” That makes some sense.
Pfft!
“All the elites from the various sects and clans tried. No one can pull it out. There is a strong energy around the divine sword. If you are not powerful enough, you will not be able to get near the sword at all.”
Hence, they needed to compete to choose the most powerful person among them.
Ming Shu clicked her tongue. “What if the sword likes someone weak and fragile?”
“How is that possible. Normal people will fly away the moment they get near...” They had to use their internal strength to protect themselves.
“You are not the divine sword. How do you know what it is thinking?”
“...”
“Why don’t we go and pull it out secretly? We can sell it. You will get 30% of it and I will get the remaining. That is the highest I can give you.”
“...”
The Flying Tiger Clan’s leader was not a powerful person. He became the organizer because Luo City was his territory.
Hence, he was already prepared to give up the divine sword.
But...
When the alliance master offered him this suggestion, his heart wavered.
If he couldn’t get the divine sword, he might as well earn from it...
No, wait, if he did that, he would offend everyone.
The Flying Tiger Clan’s leader shook his head. He distanced himself from Ming Shu.
This alliance master was crazy.
He was almost convinced by her to walk a deadly path.
Ming Shu leaned against the chair and watched the battle going on with a lack of interest.
Someone suddenly placed their hands on her shoulder and massaged it. The strength was just right. It was very comfortable.
Ming Shu looked to her side.
Rong Li paused when he saw her looking at him. He whispered, “Alliance Master... is the strength not suitable? Should I be more gentle?”
Ming Shu muttered, “It is good.”
The competition was boring. Ming Shu shrank into her chair and slept for a while.
“Who is he?”
“Why is he wearing that...”
“He is covered from head to toe. I can’t see who he is...”
A commotion arose in the crowd. Ming Shu opened her eyes and looked over. The man on the battle stage was dressed in a black robe. He wore a curtained hat that covered his face.
They could tell that it was a man due to his figure.
The man in black raised his hand and a cold light flashed past his opponent’s eyes.
Before his opponent could react, he had already flown off the battle stage.
“Pfft...”
“Senior Brother, are you all right?”
“Senior Brother, how are you?”
A bunch of people gathered around the man that flew out. He was seriously injured. His friends pressed his vital points and prevented him from losing any more blood. They controlled the messy internal strength within his body.
“You pulled a trick!” someone shouted in anger at the man with the curtained hat. “You attacked before you stated your name. You are shameless.”
“Show your face if you dare. Why are you covering yourself up?”
The man with the curtained hat ignored the people that were shouting at him.
The people from the same sect as the injured man were furious. They turned and looked at Ming Shu. “Alliance Master, various sect leaders, and clan leaders, this person broke the rule. We should remove him from the competition.
Before anyone could speak, Ming Shu said slowly, “Once you step on the battle stage, the competition has started. Greeting each other is only an unspoken rule that you set for yourself. It is not a written rule of the competition. Hence, he is not breaking the rules.”
This was the same logic as losing the battle after you got off the battle stage.
However, the people in the pugilist world wanted to uphold their relationships and dignity so they liked to introduce themselves before a fight.
Everyone: “...”
Which side are you one?
Which side are you on!
“Heh...” The man in the curtained hat snickered.
Since Ming Shu had spoken her opinion and it made sense, no one had anything else to say.
“Please continue.”
The man in the curtained hat used only one hand to subdue his opponents.
This man was strong.
Everyone lost their morale. No one went up for a period of time.
At this moment...
A figure flew onto the battle stage from the back.
“It is Lord Zhuo!”
“Lord Zhuo, beat him!”
The crowd started shouting and cheering for Lord Zhuo.
Lord Zhuo and the man in the curtained hat didn’t talk to each other. They immediately started their battle.
Lord Zhuo’s sword skills were smooth and beautiful. However, they were powerful too.
The man in the curtained hat had to use two hands to take on Lord Zhuo’s attack.
The two figures moved around quickly on the battle stage. People below could only see their lingering shadows.
However, everyone still focused their attention on the battle stage. They were afraid that they would lose a second of the battle.
The man in the curtained hat slowed down. He was on the losing end.
“He is going to lose.”
“Huh?” The Flying Tiger Clan’s leader was puzzled. “Alliance Master, who is going to lose?”
Although the man in curtained hat had a disadvantage now, he would not lose so soon.
“Your swordmaster.”
What do you mean by our swordmaster?
Aren’t you part of the pugilist world too?!
The Flying Tiger Clan’s leader looked at the battle stage. “Lord Zhuo has the upper hand now... how can he lose?”
Ming Shu placed her hand on her chin and smiled. “He is not slippery and treacherous enough.”
The Flying Tiger Clan’s leader: “...”
Boom!
Time seemed to have stopped.
Everyone looked at the person that fell off the battle stage.
How could it be...
How could he lose?
Lord Zhuo had the upper hand just now!
The Flying Tiger Clan’s leader was enlightened by Ming Shu so he immediately understood how the man won. The man in the curtained hat purposely slowed down to make Lord Zhuo lower his guard.
Jiang Ling stepped out from the crowd and helped Lord Zhuo up.
Lord Zhuo shook his head to show that he was all right. He looked at the man in the curtained hat. “You are from the Demonic Sect.”
He was certain.
“Demonic Sect?”
“Why did people from the Demonic Sect participate in the competition?”
“What is the Demonic Sect trying to do?”
The man wearing the curtained hat folded his hands back into his sleeves. “So what if I am from the Demonic Sect? Are you afraid?”
“Pfft! Why would we be scared of you? What motive do you have?”
“Don’t let him run away.”
“Kill him!”
The people from the various sects and clans surrounded the battle stage. They shouted at the man and made to kill him.
The man in the curtained hat sniggered. “I am fighting blatantly in a competition with all of you, but you all want to bully me with your numbers? Is this what the righteous clans do? Is this the morals that you always talk about?”
“Why do we need to talk about morals with someone from the Demonic Sect!”
“Kill him!”
“Kill him and protect what is right!”
The Flying Tiger Clan’s leader looked at Ming Shu.
Ming Shu was chewing on a stick of cucumber. When the leader looked at her, she blinked in confusion. Why are you looking at me? I only have a cucumber!
... Where did she get the cucumber from?
Is it from my wife’s garden?
“Alliance Master... this...” The Flying Tiger Clan’s leader reminded her, “This person is from the Demonic Sect.”
“So?”
“He took part in the competition...” Everyone wants to kill him now. Say something!
“There is no rule that says that people from the Demonic Sect cannot participate in the competition.”
“...”
