Chapter 148: Chapter 136 The Top of The World_2
The dark figure was none other than the silver ingot that Yang Mingyue had flung at Gu Chen before.
Seeing this, Yang Mingyue's anger surged, her face murderous, and she was about to look for Gu Chen.
"Junior Sister!"
The man in the brocade robe, Mo Zilin, saw her reaction and promptly took hold of his junior sister, his expression extremely serious.
"Hmph!"
After attempting several times to break free to no avail, Yang Mingyue could only snort coldly and sit down furiously.
The onlookers inside the inn, witnessing the scene, were also secretly impressed by Gu Chen's audacity.
Everyone knew that the Heavenly Saber Sect had a thunderous reputation within the Jianghu of the Nine Provinces, easily matching the influence and power of the Sunset Sword Sect and the Yao Platform Sect.
Their leader, Tian Dao Yang Ling, was rumored to have been a master of martial arts for decades, just a step away from the supreme Vajra Stage of martial arts mastery, with terrifying strength that allowed him to split mountains and rivers asunder with a single strike.
And the Heavenly Saber Sect was ranked alongside the Sunset Sword Sect and the Yao Platform Sect among the renowned Seven Sects and Eight Factions.
Because the Nine Provinces were vast and full of martial arts sects and noble families, Diancang Pavilion had summarized the top powers of the Jianghu with four lines:
These four lines were: "Seven Sects and Eight Factions, three Great Teachings laid; Nine Gates, four Valleys, and three Heterodox Paths; Six Families' legacy through ages, myriad heroes vie in Jianghu's fray."
The forces mentioned in these four lines compiled by Diancang Pavilion were all extremely powerful. Even the Canghai Sect, which was in slight decline among the Seven Sects and Eight Factions, had master martial artists within its ranks. Prominent sects like the Sunset Sword Sect and the Yao Platform Sect had at least one master martial artist of the Vajra Stage standing strong.
While they were eating, the Vajra Stage elder suddenly said, "Zilin, at this Yao Platform event, there are said to be even more talented participants than the last one. Do you feel confident about securing one of the top three places?"
Before Mo Zilin could respond, Yang Mingyue spoke up with an air of arrogance. "With Senior Brother's skills, who in this world could be his match? Winning first place at the Yao Platform event will be a breeze."
In Yang Mingyue's eyes, the Heavenly Saber Sect was the strongest force in the world, with few sects that could match it, and Mo Zilin was the most formidable young hero in the Jianghu.
After all, she had grown up with Mo Zilin since childhood. With his extraordinary talent and handsome appearance, her heart had long since been set on him, and she had even discussed her intentions with the Sect Leader Yang Ling, planning to get engaged to Mo Zilin before long.
This was something Mo Zilin was well aware of.
And so, in Yang Mingyue's mind, within the same realm of cultivation, Mo Zilin was undoubtedly the strongest.
Hearing Yang Mingyue's words, the Heavenly Saber Sect elder shook his head inwardly, feeling that Yang Mingyue was really missing the larger picture and underestimating the people of the world.
However, he refrained from saying more; after all, Yang Mingyue, who had been pampered all her life, didn't have a high level of martial prowess, and even with the Sect Leader's support, her current cultivation was only at the level of the outer Qi realm. Not being involved in major Jianghu affairs, she only had eyes for Mo Zilin and couldn't see the breadth of the Jianghu.
Mo Zilin, well aware of the affairs of the world, took the conversation seriously and replied, "Although I am somewhat confident, I cannot claim to be completely sure. All I can say is that I will strive to do my best and not let down our Heavenly Saber Sect or my master's reputation."
The Heavenly Saber Sect elder nodded. He spoke as he did to ensure that Mo Zilin didn't underestimate the competitors like Yang Mingyue might. But it seemed Mo Zilin was very much aware of the situation.
Though Mo Zilin was strong, even when a lion hunts a rabbit it must exert full effort. It would be truly regrettable to lose a match due to carelessness.
After all, the Yao Platform Sect's Jade Spirit Ice Liquid was extremely beneficial to martial artists at the Vajra Stage, the very treasure Mo Zilin urgently needed at present.
At that moment, Mo Zilin suddenly said, "I've heard that for this Yao Platform event, the Yao Platform Sect even sent an invitation to Gu Chen of the Da Xia Jing Tian Department. I wonder if he will attend?"
Hearing his own name mentioned, Gu Chen's expression shifted, and he turned his attention towards Mo Zilin and the group.
