Feng Qiuyu said, sitting to the side.

After listening to Feng Qiuyu's words, Yi Wenjun chimed in.

"If no one from the martial arts world comes to this competition, wouldn't that be a joke?"

Yi Wenjun covered her mouth and chuckled.

"So, aren't we three female immortals, along with this number one immortal in the world, here to support Cloud City?"

Yueyao chuckled.

"Since we are traveling the world, we should naturally visit this gathering of heroes and see the splendor of these heroes."

Feng Qiuyu said with a smile.

Yu Tian remained silent, keeping his eyes closed as he listened quietly to the three women's conversation about the martial arts competition.

"I heard that this martial arts competition will be held at the Mu family's training ground."

"The Mu family of Cloud City has prepared quite a lot for this martial arts tournament."

"Unfortunately, the Mu family's reputation is too insignificant in the entire martial arts world. If such a grand event were held on a rainy day, I believe Snow Moon City would be overflowing with people."

Amidst the chatter of the three women, the four of them arrived at the Mu family residence.

They followed the crowd into the Mu family mansion.

All that could be heard was the booming voice of Mu Qingyun, the head of the Mu family, from the high platform of the martial arts arena.

"Heroes, we have gathered here today not only to hone our skills but also to exchange ideas. I hope everyone will prioritize friendship and compete fairly."

As the Mu family patriarch finished speaking, the Heroes' Gathering officially commenced.

On the platform, a young swordsman is dueling with an old swordsman.

Yi Wenjun narrowed his eyes slightly and said softly.

"Although this young man's swordsmanship is swift, he is too hasty and lacks composure. His weakness... is on the left."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old swordsman seized an opening, and with a flash of sword light, the blade stopped at the youth's neck, bringing the match to an abrupt end.

"As expected of Sister Wenjun, she can see through the essence at a glance."

Feng Qiuyu said with a smile.

"Swordsmanship is like life; one must proceed steadily at every step in order to go far."

The second round of the competition then began.

"The boxer in this second match seems to have reached the Freedom Realm, while the swordsman seems to be only at the Vajra Mortal Realm."

Yueyao said calmly.

As soon as Yueyao finished speaking.

The boxer launched a fierce attack on the swordsman.

Each of his punches struck like a boulder crashing into the ground, and the swordsman clearly knew he couldn't fight him head-on. He moved with the agility of a willow catkin in the wind, dodging with light, nimble footwork.

"This boxer is going to lose. Although his level is a whole major level higher than the swordsman's, you can tell from his punches that his breathing is disordered, which means he must have recently suffered internal injuries."

"If the boxer cannot defeat the swordsman within five moves, he will definitely suffer internal injuries as a result."

As the rainy day's words faded away.

After delivering his fifth punch, the boxer suddenly clutched his chest, clearly suffering from the backlash of his internal energy. He eventually collapsed and couldn't get up.

"Rainy days are more effective; you can even tell if the other person has internal injuries."

Yueyao said with a giggle.

"It's raining, so take a look at which side is having a martial arts competition. It seems like they're best at light footwork."

Following the direction Yueyao pointed, Yutian also noticed the two people chasing each other.

"If this lightness skill were to encounter Baili Dongjun, he would surely be captured by Baili Dongjun within two moves."

One duel after another took place on the field, and the audience's emotions gradually rose.

At that moment, a martial artist who called himself the "Sword God" walked onto the stage. He held a bright silver longsword in his hand and looked around with disdain.

"This gathering of heroes is nothing special; there's not a single person worthy of my drawing my sword."

"Who is this person?"

Yueyao asked in confusion.

"He seems to be from the Southern Jue region. His cultivation has reached the Great Free and Unfettered Realm. I've never heard of him in the martial world before; he must have just appeared recently."

Rainy Day said casually.

At this moment, an uproar broke out in the audience. Many martial artists looked angry, but no one dared to speak up.

In the end, they were still afraid of the person on the stage, whose strength was at the Great Free and Unfettered Realm.

Yu Tian slowly stood up, his sleeves fluttering in the wind. His gaze remained calm, yet it held a sharp edge.

The sword in his hand had not yet been drawn, but an invisible sword aura had already permeated the air, as if even the heavens and earth trembled.

He slowly walked onto the arena, and the crowd below fell silent instantly. Yu Tian looked up at the "Sword God" and smiled.

"If you want an opponent, then I'll spar with you. I've already suppressed my cultivation level to the Great Free and Unfettered Realm. That won't be considered bullying."

The rain had barely finished speaking when the sword, before it was even drawn, arrived with its aura.

Yu Tian gently waved the scabbard in his hand, and in that instant, the wind stopped and the clouds dispersed. The sword god on the arena didn't even have a chance to react, only feeling an invisible pressure rushing towards him.

His sword was about to be drawn when it was instantly suppressed by the sword energy of the rain.

"This sword..."

The Sword God's eyes were filled with shock; he knew the outcome even before drawing his sword.

He spoke softly on a rainy day.

"The road of life is long and arduous; there's no need for reckless fighting."

The Sword God paused for a moment, then sheathed his sword, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and bowed.

"Thank you for your guidance. Please tell me your name, brother. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely seek you out to test my sword skills."

"rain."

After Yu Tian finished speaking, the audience fell silent.

"Yu Tian, ​​the Demon Sword Immortal, the Number One Immortal Under Heaven".

"Now that Senior Rainy Day has come to my Cloud City, then the champion of this Heroes' Gathering must be Senior Rainy Day."

"No need. These mortals are not qualified to judge my strength and cultivation."

"Rainy Day said proudly."

"Even if you are the greatest immortal in the world, you shouldn't be so arrogant. If you are really that powerful, why don't you go to the immortal mountains overseas and find an immortal to compete with?"

A swordsman in the audience, his face flushed, clearly felt insulted by Yu Tian's words and immediately roared at him.

Rainy Day frowned slightly, his eyes flashing with sword energy as he directly attacked the person who had just spoken rudely to him.

Four streams of sword energy severed his limbs and meridians, making it impossible for him to practice martial arts in this lifetime.

"I originally wanted to kill you, but then I thought about it, and your suggestion that I go to the overseas immortal mountains to find immortals to compete with is indeed a good suggestion."

Rainy Day said casually.

He then led the three women to the seaside, preparing to fly across the ocean in search of the sacred mountain.

Meanwhile, in Tianqi City, the court discussions about the crown prince have been ongoing for several months, and a final answer has still not been reached.

Tianqi City, Qianyuan Hall.

The officials looked solemn, and a tense atmosphere permeated the entire court.

Emperor Qian sat on the dragon throne, his brows furrowed, his eyes revealing deep worry.

The courtiers on both sides whispered among themselves, discussing the recent disappearances of children within the imperial city.

"Your Majesty, this is my report."

Grand Secretary Zhang Huailu stepped forward.

"Recently, a case of missing children has occurred in the capital, involving not only the children of ordinary people, but also the sons of several officials. This matter has touched the hearts of countless people and caused considerable panic."

"This matter should be resolved as soon as possible."

The Seventh Prince, Xiao Yu, frowned slightly, then looked at the Second Prince, Xiao Chong.

"Second Brother, I remember that some of your subordinates have also had children go missing. As the prince they will rely on in the future, don't you plan to investigate this yourself?"

Xiao Chong gave a cold laugh, raised his head, and his tone revealed a hint of sarcasm.

"Seventh Brother, what you're saying is a bit too serious. What officials? They're all officials of Beili, subjects of Father Emperor. But as Father Emperor's sons, we should take the lead in investigating."

"Seventh Brother, seeing how concerned you are about this matter, why don't you take the initiative to investigate the truth behind the missing children case?"

"This will prevent those with ulterior motives from using this matter to sow discord."

Xiao Yu's face darkened, and he narrowed his eyes. He spoke coldly.
