Chapter 219: Owner of the Sword

Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations

”It's… Fang Zhengzhi?!”

Staring at the youth in the scene, almost nobody wished to believe what they had just seen. In their hearts, no matter how talented Fang Zhengzhi was, he was only somebody who had just entered the Heavenly Reflection State.

Killing an enemy with a sword?

Or was it killing an enemy with a ten thousand swords? No matter how they looked at the situation, it didn't make any sense. How could a person who just entered the Heavenly Reflection State have the power to use ten thousand swords?

One by one, doubts arose in their hearts.

Then, their gazes were drawn to the sword in Fang Zhengzhi's hand. That sword seemed extremely ordinary. However, the purple scar at the tip of the sword was extremely evil.

”Could it be… that sword?!”

There was a sword in the World of the Sage. That was the sword of Sagely Battle God Meng Tian. This was a legend, yet, it was a legend that everybody knew.

”Fang Zhengzhi had retrieved Meng Tian's sword?” When this thought rose in their minds, everybody was filled with an unparalleled sense of shock.

Next, what caused even greater shock was that the middle-aged man in the middle of the sword tornado had a black gem-like object on his forehead.

It seemed somewhat faint and dark. However, there wasn't a single person who didn't know what it represented.

The demon eye!

The demon race. That man was a demon?!

Fang Zhengzhi was using the sword of Meng Tian to kill a demon.

Most importantly, behind Fang Zhengzhi stood over ten examinees. Among them was the severely injured Xing Qingsui, and Nangong Mu whose chest was stained with blood.

There was also…

Ping Yang, lying on the ground with blood dripping down her lips.

”What actually happened in the World of the Sage?!”

”Ping Yang is injured?!”

”Fang Zhengzhi had obtained the sword of Meng Tian and is using it to kill the enemy?”

One by one, questions that caused great shock arose in everybody's hearts.

Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping's lips moved, but remained silent in the end. Instead, he let out a long drawn out sigh. He knew that the situation was already out of his control.

The Six Council Officials instinctively gazed towards Han Changfeng. No matter what happened in the World of the Sage, just the fact that a demon had snuck into the combat examination was enough to give Han Changfeng no way of escape.

Moreover, Ping Yang lay on the ground, and the direct descendant of the Stabilisation Constabulary, Xing Qingsui, had a sword stabbed through his body. All of these meant that whatever happened in the World of the Sage, it definitely couldn't be explained by something as simple as a test.

King Duan Lin Xinjue's expression was somewhat pale. As the supervisor of the imperial examination, he had the responsibility of monitoring and supervising it. However, this current outcome was something he would never have thought of, and would never wish to think of.

However, this was reality.

Then…

Next up was finding out how to resolve this problem.

Crown Prince Lin Tianrong's expression was similarly somewhat dark. As the Crown Prince in charge of the government, mishaps in the imperial examination were something he couldn't shirk any responsibility in. Moreover, what grieved him the most was Han Changfeng.

Han Changfeng was his teacher, and his biggest ally and supporter as he attracted talents into the government.

As an elderly official who had organised the imperial examinations for many years, how many disciples did he have below him? It was an extremely horrifying number. It was these disciples who had been the greatest supporter of the Crown Prince.

Now, this huge tree seemed to be on the verge of falling. How could Crown Prince Lin Tianrong be satisfied with this outcome?

Among the people in the crowd, the only person with a different emotional state was Ninth Prince Lin Yun. Political matters were completely irrelevant to him. As the supervisor of the imperial examination, he had to take responsibility for this as well.

However, these weren't the things he was most concerned about. What he was most concerned about was the fact that Ping Yang was still alive, Xing Qingsui was still alive. Even though Nangong Mu was injured, he was still alive. As well as Fang Zhengzhi, and Yan Xiu…

At least half of the the future creme of the Great Xia Dynasty were still alive.

Actually…

That was enough.

”I want to enter!” After a temporary shock, Emperor Lin Mubai regained his composure. However, a painful look remained in his eyes.

His gaze was fixed upon Ping Yang's body. That was his daughter, his blood daughter. The daughter he loved the most. As long as he saw Ping Yang, he would be able to think of a woman.

That was a woman he thought of every single moment of his life.

But now, the daughter of that woman and himself was lying on the ground, with blood dripping from the edge of her mouth. How could he not feel pained? How could he still have the audacity to meet that woman again?

”Emperor, you cannot! Even though the World of the Sage is reopened, but, nobody can ensure that this isn't a trap. If it was purposely set by the demon race…” When Yu Yiping heard Emperor Lin Mubai's words, he instantly knelt down onto the ground.

”Trap? I am the true dragon son of Heaven, why would I be scared of a trap?” Emperor Lin Mubai's tone turned cold and directly walked past the crowd towards the scene projection.

Nobody dared to stop him. Instead, a stone door in the projection rapidly opened.

The first person who followed behind Emperor Lin Mubai was naturally Crown Prince Lin Tianrong. Even though the person who moved first was Ninth Prince Lin Yun, Crown Prince Lin Tianrong still managed to win based on speed.

Next was Ninth Prince Lin Yun, Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping and the Six Council Officials.

Since Emperor Lin Mubai had entered, how would they dare to not enter?

As he looked at the people entering, King Duan Lin Xinjue finally gritted his teeth and stood up from the ground. Then, following behind the crowd, he entered.

Han Changfeng didn't follow. Instead, he sat down on the floor with a rather blank expression on his face. He didn't speak. All he did was sit in silence.

Around him, the imperial messengers of the Imperial Academy were just as silent. Their eyes looked towards Han Changfeng silently. Nobody spoke…

…

Within the World of the Sage.

Fang Zhengzhi stood with the sword in his hand. Around him, the countless swords had already fallen to the ground. Because, Ying Shan had given up struggling. Since Ying Shan had given up, the swords had lost their purpose.

Ying Shan was dead…

This was definitely a shocking and joyful thing for the people within the World of the Sage.

A smile formed at the edges of Yan Xiu's mouth. This was the happiest kind of smile for a friend. Fang Zhengzhi had done it. Hence, he was happy for Fang Zhengzhi.

As for Nangong Mu and Xing Qingsui, they each began to tend to their own injuries.

The other examinees looked at Fang Zhengzhi, then looked at the Traceless Sword in Fang Zhengzhi's hand. Their gazes were filled with a complicated expression. There was envy, and a few unknown emotions...
