Eternal Sword

Chapter 348 Opening

Leave Amaterasu Palace.

Chen Tang and the other two were walking on the street, and they had already become celebrities in the old capital. People on both sides of the street would look over here and whisper from time to time.

"Look, look, that's the expert invited by the Shen family!"

"Ah, that's him. I heard he killed Feng Xing in just three moves."

“It’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance.”

Shen Yu was very excited listening to the discussions around him. He jumped around Chen Tang and chattered all the way.

In her impression, the Shen family in the old capital had not received such respect and attention for a long time.

In every genius competition, only the descendants of the three major families become the center of discussion and attract everyone's attention.

Unexpectedly, before the battle of geniuses this time, the Shen family had already become the most popular force in the old capital!
Chen Tang didn't feel anything about this. He was always thinking about how to have a close contact with the two artifacts...

Chen Tang said, "Yu'er, let's go to the Moonlight Palace. Isn't there another artifact there? It's a good opportunity to go and see it."

“I can’t see it.”

Shen Yu shook his head and said, "The Moonlight Sword is a little special. It is called the ominous blade. It is sealed in the Moonlight Palace and cannot be seen by outsiders. Even the people of the Moonlight Clan will not use this sword unless they have no other choice."

"Why?"

Chen Tang asked.

“That’s what everyone is saying.”

Shen Yu said: "There is a saying that the Lord of Tianhuzhou was the owner of the Moonlight Sword, but he died suddenly... Since then, the Moonlight Sword has been sealed."

"However, there are also many people who do not believe this statement, and think that it is just a rumor deliberately spread by the Yue Ye clan to prevent others from coveting this artifact."

"As a last resort..."

Chen Tang seemed to be thinking about something.

He asked again: "Where is the Kusun Sword?"

"Didn't we see each other just now?" Shen Yu was surprised.

Chen Tang coughed lightly and said, "I'm just curious about what this Congyun Sword has to say."

Shen Yu said: "Although the Congyun Sword is stuck on the stone tablet and everyone can see it, no one can pull it out, not even the Grandmaster. It is said that the Lord of Tianhuzhou tried to pull out the sword and was almost injured."

"Some people say that perhaps only a master above the Grandmaster, or perhaps the Lord of the East Sea, can possibly control the Cloud Blade."

Such an exaggeration.

Chen Tang was secretly shocked.

Judging from the situation, Cong Yundao definitely has no chance.

Shen Yu smiled and said, "Among the three great artifacts, only the Amaterasu Hokan has the opportunity to get close to it and take a look at it."

At this moment, guards from the Sichuan Palace came and ordered Shen Yu and the other two to return to the palace immediately.

After returning to Sichuan West, the military commander Shen Che had been waiting for a long time.

"Dad, you've heard everything."

Shen Yu came to Shen Che with a smile, hugged his arm, and said coquettishly: "Is the person my daughter brought back powerful?"

Shen Che hummed, then looked at Chen Tang and asked, "Feng Xing is dead, and the agreement between you and me has been completed. If you want to leave now, I can immediately escort you to the ship and leave Tianhuzhou. Of course..."

After a pause, Shen Che continued, "Personally, I still hope that you will stay and get a good ranking for the Shen family in the genius competition."

"Alright."

Chen Tang nodded and said, "It's a rare opportunity to have a discussion with the descendants of the major martial arts schools in Tianhuzhou."

Shen Che's proposal was exactly what he wanted.

He was still thinking about the other two artifacts.

Although he also didn't know what the use of that mysterious power would be after it entered his Dantian.

The battle of geniuses is an opportunity that can be utilized, but whether it can be successful depends on fate.

"it is good!"

Shen Che was very happy and said, "Little brother is really straightforward. I wonder if you are interested in staying and serving the Western Sichuan Kingdom in the future?"

"I'm sorry, I have important business to attend to in Shenzhou, so I have to go back." Chen Tang declined politely.

Shen Che felt relieved when he heard this.

In fact, he was just testing Chen Tang.

If Chen Tang intended to stay, he would have to be on guard.

Chen Tang's refusal actually gave him more trust.

"The Genius Competition will begin in three days."

Shen Che instructed: "For the next three days, the three of you should stay in the Chuanxi Palace and don't go out."

"What are you afraid of?"

Shen Yu said: "Our Shen family finally got a chance to show off our wealth. Why do we have to hide? Is there anyone who dares to start a war in the old capital?"

Shen Che said in a deep voice: "With Feng Xing dead, no one can guarantee whether Feng Boyi will go crazy or not. To be on the safe side, you should not go out for the next three days."

"Once the genius battle is over, I will send you two to the ship and leave Tianhu Island. Even if someone wants to target you, they won't stand a chance."

Chen Tang and Ye Yushi both bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Military Commander."

……

As the battle of geniuses approaches, the old capital becomes more and more lively.

In addition, Feng Xing's death was like adding fuel to the fire. The atmosphere reached its peak before the war even started!
The old capital was bustling with noise, but Chen Tang enjoyed the quietness in the Sichuan Palace.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

On this day, the battle of geniuses begins!
The Shen family left the Chuanxi Palace and headed towards the center of the old capital.

The arena for the genius battle is set up in the most central area of ​​the old capital, covering a very large area. From a bird's eye view, it looks like a big pot, surrounded by viewing platforms.

Five arenas are set up in the central area of ​​the "bottom of the pot".

The arena in the middle is the largest, tallest, and most conspicuous, and is the main battlefield.

In the four corners, there are four sub-battlefields of the same specifications.

Generally speaking, the more popular duels will be arranged on the main battlefield.

There were not many people in the Shen family, only about a hundred people.

Chen Tang looked carefully, but did not see the Mingyue Sanren that Shen Yu mentioned.

When we entered the venue, the spectator seats were already full of people. At a glance, it was a sea of ​​people, waving all kinds of flags in their hands.

Some people even had patterns tattooed on their foreheads or clothes to show their support for the fighters.

As soon as Chen Tang and the Shen family walked into the venue, they heard a loud voice coming from above, echoing in the venue.

"Next, the phalanx coming towards us is the Sichuan-Western Kingdom!"

Chen Tang was stunned and a little dazed.

What the hell?
This word sounds so familiar.

He looked up subconsciously.

I saw that right above the venue, there was a specially made room suspended in the air, connected to the top of the venue by various brackets. The room was made of transparent colored glaze all around, and in the middle of the four walls of colored glaze, there was a big bell inlaid, like a huge loudspeaker.

Seeing Chen Tang's stunned expression, Shen Yu explained in a low voice: "This is the ceremony officer's platform for the genius battle. The chief and deputy ceremony officers will explain the genius battle to the spectators. A mysterious guest will be invited every session..."

With Ye Yushi's knowledge, everyone was amazed.

Chen Tang quickly calmed down and let out a long breath.

Isn't this just the sports meet in the previous life? It's so fancy...

But then again, with the technology of this world, it is not easy to bring the battle of geniuses to this level.

"As far as I know, there is only one contestant from Kawanishi Province this time."

"Oh? There's only one person. Isn't that a bit shabby?"

"Uehara, you don't know that this person has become very famous recently. Everyone in the old capital knows him..."

The chief and deputy ceremonial officers worked in perfect harmony, talking and praising each other.
