Chapter 508: Chapter 237: Face

“Night Lord!”

Zhuo Dongming and the others had just arrived at Muyun Platform when they saw this person, and their faces instantly changed dramatically.

Despite the fact that, aside from Xuanyuan Xiaoshan and Xuanzhen, the rest were figures well-known in Jianghu for years, the sight of Night Lord standing before them inevitably caused a sense of panic in their hearts!

Over the past twenty years, he had twice battled the Seven Sects Masters alone.

His martial arts prowess was arguably the greatest in Donghuang!

With such a figure before them, who wouldn’t feel unsettled?

However, those present were no ordinary individuals; despite their slight panic, they promptly calmed themselves.

Not a trace could be seen on their faces.

After they each leapt down to the ground, Luo Changsheng waved his hand:

“Stand back!”

Surrounding Night Lord were the other experts of the Seven Sects.

Upon hearing this command, they instantly leapt away, standing behind the seven Masters.

Night Lord did not stop them either, but simply stood in silence, hands behind his back.

He was clad in a black robe and hood, beneath which was the lower half of a pale face.

Pale-faced and beardless, his lips sharp as a blade.

When he spoke, his voice was neither deep nor sinister, but carried the accumulation of years and a touch of nonchalance:

“Among the Seven Great Sects, there are still promising newcomers. This Lord truly finds joy in witnessing this.”

“Oh?”

The voice of Xuanyuan Xiaoshan came from beneath her veil, quite surprised:

“The Seven Great Sects, as well as the Dongcheng Sects, are mortal enemies with your excellency.

“Where does this joy of yours stem from?”

Night Lord slightly turned his head, his gaze seeming to glance at the Holy Daughter of Tianxin Sect, before he gently shook his head:

“When did this Lord ever say that we are deadly enemies with the Seven Great Sects?

“That is merely wishful thinking on your part.

“Sooner or later, Donghuang will fall into the hands of this Lord, and you are all but subjects under my rule.

“Mortal enemies? On what basis?”

His voice was calm, his tone indifferent, yet what he said caused the color to drain from the faces of everyone from the Seven Great Sects.

Zhuo Dongming let out a long sigh: “Night Lord truly does not disappoint his reputation.”

“Sorry to intrude.”

Night Lord spoke softly, but when his gaze fell on Wan Cangxin, he couldn’t help but sigh:

“Back when Elder Tianquan roamed Jianghu, I had not yet perfected my martial arts, and had not stepped out of Eternal Night Valley.

“And by the time I did leave Eternal Night Valley, he had already sealed his sword and retired, becoming a legend in Donghuang.

“The fame of the Heavenly Spring Heart Cleansing Sword is as thunderous. It’s a pity that I missed the chance to meet him.

“This can be considered a lifelong regret.

“So, there’s no need for you to be so alarmed.

“I came here today, not with other intentions, but merely to observe the swordsmanship.”

Hearing this, Luo Changsheng felt a wave of speechlessness in his heart.

It seemed that Night Lord indeed appeared with the demeanor of a grandmaster, but out of ten sentences spoken by him, to believe one or two would already be quite generous.

Talking about regretting not meeting the Heavenly Spring Heart Cleansing Sword…

Wasn’t Elder Tianquan’s eldest disciple caught in your Eternal Night Valley, and even after defecting, caused havoc in Tianqu City?

But at this moment, there was no need to say such words.

And now, faced with Night Lord’s request, Luo Changsheng had no better option than to accept it.

To say they truly feared Night Lord, indeed, they did.

But to say that because of fear they would stand by helplessly and let the other party do as they pleased, that was out of the question!

The situation in Tianqu City relied on the righteous people from Dongcheng, and if Night Lord truly had the ability to easily break through, why would he wait until today?

Even if he joined forces with the Youquan Sect master, it would still be impossible!

Otherwise, why would the Seven Great Sects allow their Vice Sect Leaders to guard this place?

They would have personally entered the fray themselves.

If they were to put all their efforts into a battle, even with Night Lord’s martial arts dominating Donghuang, and the Youquan Scripture of the Youquan Sect master being bloodthirsty and eerie,

They would still not dream of walking out of Tianqu City.

But if they were determined to leave…

There was not a single person present who could stop them.

Clearly, now was not the time for an armed confrontation.

Since Night Lord wanted to watch the swordsmanship here, then let him watch.

Luo Changsheng said aloud:

“Someone, move the chairs over here.”

With a wave of his hand, disciples turned to carry out the task.

Meanwhile, the arrival of both Night Lord and the Youquan Sect master had already spread throughout Tianqu City.

The cultivators from Dongcheng were filled with righteous indignation or trepidation, with varying emotions.

But as for leaving, not a single one departed.

The area surrounding Muyun Platform was now packed with people.

Disciples from the Dongcheng Sects obeyed the flag order, mediating among the crowd to prevent chaos.

Moreover, many disciples stayed ready around Muyun Platform, awaiting commands in case of unforeseen events.

All the arrangements were swiftly completed in the blink of an eye.

At the head of Muyun Platform, Night Lord and the Youquan Sect master had already taken their seats one after another.

Not far from them were the Masters of the Seven Great Sects.

The Youquan Sect master cast a sweeping glance over all the changes around, taking everything into his eyes.

He snorted coldly, then turned to look at the people from the Dongcheng Sects:

“Today’s gathering is indeed quite extraordinary.

“It’s a pity, under my sect, there is one who is Sword Obsession.

“Although his swordsmanship can hardly be summarized in a few words, he is quite fond of the art and considers himself a master swordsman.

“Unfortunately, he is not present here, otherwise, he would have been overjoyed.”

“Oh?”

Luo Changsheng glanced at him: “Is the Sect Hierarch referring to that person from the Three Flags?”

“Hahaha.”

The Youquan Sect master laughed heartily: “You do have some insight, correct, it is him.

“Regrettably, he must guard Chimei Forest; it is a missed opportunity for him to be here.”

Zhuo Dongming looked thoughtfully at the Youquan Sect master:
