"This is what the nobles of the Taixuan Kingdom are like? I've finally gained a deeper understanding today."
Witnessing the commotion on the platform, Jiang Di, this legendary swordsman who was extremely valued by Wang Ting, was the first to lose his temper.
"Nonsense!"
Yang Jin also let out a cold hum, his eyes fixed on Hong Tu, as if waiting for this Third Prince to give him an explanation.
"This..."
"Nonsense!"
Before the third prince Hong Tu could speak, Yu Shao Dong from the platform below had already let out a loud roar.
As they spoke, Yu Shao Dong had already stormed onto the platform, loudly rebuking Chang Jian, who was a count, without showing any mercy: "Chang Jian, can you really distort the truth and confuse right and wrong in such a matter? Do you think you can turn things upside down in the Tai Xuan Kingdom?! Are the laws of the Tai Xuan Kingdom not established for everyone?"
"Huh?"
Yu Shao Dong was willing to go to great lengths for Wang Ting, even if it meant having a falling out with him, and Chang Jian's expression changed slightly.
It wasn't just him, even Count Hainober and Lie Dongshan also focused their attention on Yu Shao Dong at the same time.
"That nephew, Chang Le, was injured by Wang Ting's hand during the Temple mission and harbored a grudge. He and Chang Dingfeng secretly mobilized the Yu Xuan Swordsmen to surround and kill Wang Ting, but were defeated and Chang Le was killed by Wang Ting's sword. This matter is clearly one of bullying, yet in their mouths, they became the victims, it's simply absurd! If you can't bear to lose in the Temple mission, then just hide outside and never participate again, secretly manipulating your own power to take revenge, what kind of ability is that?"
Yu Shaodong's words of rebuke unexpectedly resonated with many high-level swordsmen in the crowd.
These swordsmen all have great strength. They have participated in more than one temple mission, but many times, they clearly had the treasure in hand, only to be robbed by the swordsmen of the powerful nobles and influential families relying on their backing. Some people's relatives and friends were even killed off by the young masters of those nobles as revenge for offending them during the temple missions.
Yu Shao Dong's words immediately earned him a lot of popularity.
"Yu Shao Dong, the sword master, this Wang Ting and have no relation, why force out this head? This matter please Yu Shao Dong give us Li Ri Merchant Association a bit of face, after the matter is settled... our Li Ri Merchant Association..."
"Shut up!"
Liè Dōng Shān's words were cut off by Yú Shāo Dōng's rude interruption: "Liè Dōng Shān, as one of the leaders of Liè Rì Merchant Association, shouldn't you know that reputation is priceless? Liè Dōng Yáng wanted to fight with Wáng Tíng to use him as a stepping stone to break through his sword skills and reach a higher level. But in the end, it was Liè Rì Merchant Association's Liè Dōng Yáng who lost. And yet, you immediately turn your back on him and deny any connection. This behavior is simply shameful! It's fortunate that Liè Rì Merchant Association still has the qualifications to stand in the business world today!"
“……”
Liu Dongshan's face sank slightly: "Yu Shao Dong, are you really going to go against us, the Liu Ri Chamber of Commerce? I'm giving face to the great master of the Canglong Sword Saint behind me. Don't get entangled with ordinary people, do you think I'm afraid? The Canglong Sword Saint has a reputation that reaches the sky in the Great Xia Kingdom. But this is the Tai Xuan Kingdom, his hands can't reach here. Leave quickly, and I can pretend this never happened. If you persist in your foolishness, don't blame me for doing something that goes against our friendship."
"Really?"
Yu Shaodong's gaze swept towards the crowd of Lier Ri Shanghui, his voice cold: "I've long heard that among the Lier Ri Shanghui, there are as many as ** masters who offer sacrifices, each one a master swordsman. The first to offer sacrifice is even Zhou Yan, our Taixuan's number one swordmaster. Today, I'll see whether the Lier Ri Shanghui can really cover the sky with one hand, relying on their own strength, and no longer put any power of the Taixuan Kingdom in their eyes."
"It's not putting the kingdom's law in one's eyes that is right, this king, however, is a murderer who killed a kingdom earl and many people witnessed him killing a kingdom baron. Now as the kingdom earl, he dares to shield such a murderer! Earl Haino, why don't you order the city guard to take these two down?"
Lie Dongshan took a big gulp and stepped forward one step.
Lidong Mountain's words made Haino think for a moment in his heart.
In the presence of so many people in Wangdu Square, Lierri Merchant Association dared to be arrogant and take action against Wangting and Yu Shaodong. It can be seen that there must be some trump cards. The strong momentum of Lierri Merchant Association has indeed made him see the opportunity to rise with this merchant association...
However, the Yu Shaodong at present seems to be not simple either. His background is that of the Supreme Commander of the Qinglong Military Unit of the Great Xia Kingdom, the Qinglong Sword Saint, one of the strongest in the Eastern Alliance. He actually went all out to protect Wang Ting... Then what identity does this Wang Ting have?
"What's wrong, Earl Haino, still hesitating? Are you going to let the murderer of the kingdom's earl go unpunished in front of everyone?"
Even Lord Arrowsmith joined in.
"Baron Haino, a noble baron, would you stoop to associate with such a merchant? Trample the laws of the kingdom?"
Yu Shao Dong let out a loud roar, his face filled with fierce and sharp expression.
The Earl of Haino furrowed his brow, and finally waved his hand: "In any case, the fact that Wang Ting killed the nobles of the kingdom is indisputable. Take him down first, Hai Qing."
"Yes!"
Hai Qing, a member of the Hai family who received the order, respectfully responded with a single sound and waved his hand. The city guards who were maintaining order in the capital immediately swarmed up, with no less than two or three hundred people quickly surrounding the platform, ready to take action and capture someone.
"Clang!"
The treasured sword shook once.
Yu Shao Dong suddenly drew his sword from its scabbard, his eyes piercing those city guards who were rushing forward.
"I dare anyone!"
"Hmph! Yu Shao Dong, you actually dare to resist arrest. As a member of the Tai Xuan Kingdom, the Lie Ri Chamber of Commerce has a duty to assist the City Guard in apprehending you! Tong Gong Feng!"
Lie Dongshan let out a cold hum, ignoring Yu Shao Dong's resolute attitude. With one order, an old man who had cultivated his skills to the pinnacle of swordsmanship emerged from the crowd of Lie Ri merchants and stepped onto the platform, causing the atmosphere on the scene to quickly become tense.
"The Ryūjin Shōkai... is indeed tyrannical!"
"Shh, don't spout nonsense. The Lierdai Chamber of Commerce is currently the golden master in the eyes of His Majesty the King. His Majesty wants to establish a second Tianxuan Swordsmen Corps, and the funding will be provided by the Lierdai Chamber of Commerce. Currently, the Lierdai Chamber of Commerce and the Chang family are both favored by the imperial court, even among the limited number of dukes and princes in the kingdom, they have to give them face. With such prestige, even if they do something a bit excessive, as long as it doesn't infringe on the interests of the nobles, His Majesty will turn a blind eye."
"Hmph, the methods of the Lietian Chamber of Commerce may be a bit overbearing, but that Wang Ting is even more unforgivable. He actually dared to kill a noble, this is simply a provocation to all of us nobles. No matter what the reason, he dares to sneak into the residence of Duke Gong Sun Jianye and kill him, this is a capital offense."
"Not bad, this Wang Ting, is indeed lawless and unscrupulous, relying on his somewhat decent swordsmanship, he acts recklessly and arbitrarily. Even if his swordsmanship is superb, can't he still be held accountable to the kingdom's laws?"
Waves of murmurs spread among the crowd under the platform.
Wangdu Square, after all, was established in the central city, and it was right in front of the palace, where the residents were mostly nobles or wealthy merchants. These people were staunch supporters of the interests of the nobility. From the standpoint of warriors, they naturally found the methods of the Lie Ri Merchant Association to be shameful. However, from the standpoint of the nobility, they did not want to see a talented swordsman without any status rise up and impact the noble circle of the Tai Xuan Kingdom.
"That's enough!"
Just as Li Dongshan was about to draw his sword and face off against Yu Shaodong, a voice suddenly came from the platform.
It's Liè Dōngyáng!
"Dong Yang!"
"That's enough, stop!"
Liu Dongyang said with a somewhat depressed tone.
At this time, he had recovered from that somewhat crazy mental state.
He is the number one swordsman of Tai Xuan, a genius swordsman who has been carrying countless halos and hopes of many people since he was young. Originally, he wanted to use his battle with Wang Ting to break through his thorough heart sword technique, using Wang Ting's unique sword technique that could shatter his thorough heart sword technique, to find the flaw in it and take another step forward, stepping into the realm of the gods in the world of swordsmanship. However, unexpectedly, he not only failed to make that step, but also had all his research and understanding of that realm stolen by Wang Ting during their brief exchange.
He spent over a decade studying something, only to have his opponent master it in one exchange and even surpass him, taking the lead and stepping into that realm of the gods.
This huge fall, suddenly descended upon him, made the proud and arrogant, with his eyes fixed on an extremely high realm, unable to bear it, which is why there was later that scene of frantic expression, sparing no effort to defeat Wang Ting.
Fortunately, although his spirit was lost for a moment and his emotions were out of control for a moment, no one could deny the fact that he was indeed an excellent swordsman.
He quickly adjusted his mentality, recovered, and stopped the farce in front of him that would have caused endless ridicule in the swordsmen's circle.
I lost.
Liet Dongyang looked at the still somewhat immature Wang Ting in front of him, tightly grasping the broken Void Sword in his hand. His expression sank: "I lost. The thorough heart sword technique I cultivated was completely surpassed by him in terms of realm comprehension and understanding of sword techniques. He used my own thorough heart sword technique to defeat me."
"I lost, and I'm thoroughly convinced of it!"
As he said this, his tone paused slightly, with a hint of reluctance, a hint of unwillingness to part, and a hint of relief and liberation.
"From now on, Wang Ting is the number one swordsman of Tai Xuan."
