Chapter 117: Jealous

Note: unedited as I needed to do something. Will edit updated version asap later today

In mid-air, Ming Xiu stretched out his arm and held the three frozen Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal in his hands. He looked indifferently and coldly at the Sword Sovereigns glaring as if a tiger eyeing its prey.

He held up a piece of Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal to play with, looking down with a bit of tease in his eyes, and said in an extremely arrogant tone: “This Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal is in This Highness’s hands, if you want them, come get it.”

“Humph, from where did such an arrogant person come out from. You and I are both Sword Sovereigns. With you alone you want to provoke us all, you truly are courting death.”

The Xue Clan’s Ancestorooked at the red-clothed man in the sky with cold eyes. This man gave him a sense of oppressive danger. But the Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal’s attraction was simply too great.

He suggested to the other Sword Sovereigns and Demonic Cultivators: “Let’s go together. Whoever obtains the Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal will it be whose.”

His words made the other Sword Sovereigns and Demonic Cultivators interested and they flew up together, surrounding Ming Xiu, thenobiliaed their Elemtal Energy together to utilise their Magic Tools, wanting to kill him first then obtain the Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal.

Ye Zhan, who was standing by the lava didn’t join the siege of Ming Xiu. His gaze was deep and far-reaching. Seeing Lan Si walk to the side with a piece of Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal, he unconsciously said, “That person is very strong.”

Lan Si meaningfully swept his gaze over to Lou Mu Yan who stood atop the ice pillar, watching the battle fixedly. Then he cast his gaze on the silver masked, red-clothed man, “Those people are all sending themselves to their deaths.”

The indifference in Ming Xiu’s eyes didn’t fade despite being surrounded, as if these Sword Sovereigns were irrelevant to him.

They were being underestimated. This was the first feeling of the several Sword Sovereigns.

“Go!” The Ancestor of the Xue Clan narrowed his eyes and brandished a red silk ribbon from within his sleeve.

This was his High-Grade Spirit Treasure. Every time it was brandished, it had never been in a disadvantage as it trapped Sword Masters within the red silk. Although it couldn’t trap one for long, but it was enough for him to kill the person.

Following the Ancestor of the Xue Clan, all the Sword Sovereigns who besieged Ming Xiu either swung their swords in anger or attack using their Spirit Treasures.

In an instant, in mid-air, the cave lit up with various colours, carrying strong pressure. The Demonic Beasts and Sword Masters below all felt extremely suppressed and difficult to move.

A light curve appeared on Ming Xiu’s lips, and a golden longsword appeared in his hands. His eyes sharpened and merely waved his sword casually.

A violent metal attribute Elemental Energy sword aura flew from the longsword, forming nine golden hurricanes, slashing straight towards the seven humans and two Demonic Beasts.

The hurricane formed by the sword aura swept past and the Sword auras that flew towards him collapsed one after the other. Their Spiritual Treasures also grew dim and returned into the hands of the few people.

With disregard in his eyes, he slashed down again. A cyclone exploded from his longsword then turned into nine golden rays of light, shooting directly hitting the seven humans and two Demonic Beasts.

The seven humans and two Demonic Cultivators all revealed horror in their eyes and immediately took out their defence-type Magic Tools to block, or slashed their swords in return.

Seven-coured rays of light exploded in mid-air, and the overflowing violent Elemental Enerfy instantly spread and affected those below.

Ye Zhan’s brows furrowed when he saw this, then took off a red jade pendant he wore and threw it above the elite pupils of the Ten Distinguished Clans.

The Red jade pendant suddenly grew numerous times larger, forming a powerful shield and the overflowing seven-coloured Elemental Energy rays of light fell onbthe pendant, but only made it shake a little, then dispersing.

The elite pupils of the Ten Distinguished Clans below all heaved a sigh of relief. If they were hit by the various seven-coloured rays of light, they would have to remain here forever.

“PU!!”

The result of the battle in mid-air came quickly. After the seven humans and two Demonic Cultivators met the nine golden sword auras, they all, more or less, suffered internal injuries and couldn’t help spouting out a mouthful of blood.

“What?” The elite pupils below continued to fight the Demonic Beasts while observing the battle above.

But a scene that caused an uproar and made them dumbfounded occurred. The Elders in their Clan’s were actually all beaten back by that red-clothed devilishly handsome man with one slash, and were even injured. This was simply inconceivable.

Everyone only had one thought in their minds at this time–just who was this man? What cultivation base? Simply too strong.

Lou Mu Yan couldn’t help revealing surprise in her eyes. She had known long ago that this man, Ming Xiu, was very strong, but she didn’t expect he would be this strong.

However, when this guy was at Sword Monarch, he could already slay a Sword Sovereign. Now he was already at a Sword Sovereign cultivation base, plus, after taking the Foundation Establishment Pill and washing his marrow, wiping out out same level Sword Sovereigns was naturally possible.

“Lpu Mu Yan, do you know the Hall Master of the Nine-Layer Hall?” Lan Si had always been observing Lou Mu Yan’s expression and when he saw her reveal a touch of understanding, he leapt up onto the ice pillar and asked with a smile.

Lou Mu Yan looked at him in confusion and asked instead; “Nine Layer Hall?”

Hearing Lan Si’s tone, Ming Xiu should be the Hall Master of the Nine-Layer Hall, but she had never heard of this name.

“The Nine-Layer Hall is a great entity on Tian’ling Continent, and also the real controller behind the Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance. And that red-clothed man with a mask is the Hall Master of the Nine-Layer Hall.” Seeing Lou Mu Yan with a puzzled expression that didn’t seem to be fake, Lan Si didn’t hide anything.”

Lou Mu Yan concealed her emotions and asked with a smile: “What’s his name?

There were deep secrets hidden in Lan Si, and perhaps even his identity a an Academy Teacher is also fake. Being able to recognise Ming Xiu also meant that he must not be ordinary.

“Don’t know. Others all called him His Highness Monarch Ming.” Lan Si approached Lou Mu Yan and said with a meaningful smile, “What his name is, Lou Mu Yan, you should be very clear, right?”

“What makes you say so?” Lou Mu Yan raised an eyebrow.

Lan Si’s tone was full of certainty,  though half was to trick some more intel, while the other half was certainty. She sure was rather curious at how he knew that she knew Ming Xiu.

“That day during the auction, you offended a Sword Monarch. Wasn’t it he who came out to help you out?”

Lan Si also participated in that auction. Others only knew that the Monarch Ming came out to maintain order for the Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance, but he discovered that there was a very weak Mental Energy fluctuation from Monarch Ming to Lou Mu Yan at the time. Therefore he was certain that the two weren’t only acquainted, but also had a friendship.

There were no waves in Lou Mu Yan’s eyes, but she had to praise Lan Si in her heart–as expected from a fox. He sure was really observant, “So what if were acquainted, so what if we’re not?”

She neither denied she knew Ming Xiu, nor admitted in person. She’ll just keep this Lan Fox guessing by himself.

“Lou Mu Yan, you little fox.” Lan Si whispered into Lou Mu Yan’s ear intimately.

A nice choice entered Lou Mu Yan’s ears with a breath. She wasn’t used to being so close to people, so she tapped her foot and leapt off the ice pillar and landed on the edge of the lava pool. This Lan Gox was clearly attempting to coax a egrets from her. As if she’d brother brother him.

Seeing Lou Mu Yan’s rather helpless look, Lan Si suddenly felt that this woman was also quite cute and couldn’t help but chuckle.

Except he didn’t laugh long because not far away, a golden sword aura turned into an arc and slashed straight towards him from the air.

There was a coldness in Mong Xiu’s eyes. The man’s deliberate intimacy with the little woman just now made him extremely unhappy. At this time, he actually dared to approach and tease her. A killing intent exuded from him.

Lan Si narrowed his eyes slightly and with a touch of unnoticeable interest on his lips, he stretched out his longsword and swung it with all his strength before immediately leaping off the ice pillar.

[CRACK!] The two sword auras greeted each other, and Lan Si’s sword aura was quickly obliterated and dissipated while the golden sword aura directly split the ice pillar into several segments.

“Lou Mu Yan, Monarch Ming’s jealous, if you don’t act, Teacher will die.”

Note: AHAHAHA MX being jealous. Cute.
