Chapter 139: The Monstrous Genius, The Bearing of a Sword King, The Southern Genius Battle!
As the words fell, the entire place erupted, stirring up a huge commotion.
Everyone was both excited and thrilled.
After all, no one could have imagined that the final outcome would be like this!
The winner was not Duanmu Longque, but the initially underestimated Meng Changqing.
“Sword intent at this age, truly a heaven-sent genius!”
“So, the real trump card of the Tai Xuan Sect wasn’t Han Luoyu, but Meng Changqing!”
“They’ve hidden him so well!”
“With such a monstrous talent, the future of Tai Xuan Sect is unimaginable!”
“Not just a top-grade sect, it feels like it could become a great sect second only to the holy lands!”
For a time, everyone was talking.
“Our young master won first place!” The members of the Meng family were also overjoyed.
To be honest, like most people, they didn’t have any hope in their hearts. They were just being defiant. However, the young master gave them an unparalleled surprise.
“Where’s the one who said he would crawl out earlier? Come out now!” At this moment, the family members were standing tall, very proud.
Ahem.
Many people quickly turned their heads.
Who would dare to admit it?
“Have you ever heard of the Yunshui Meng family?” Someone couldn’t help but ask.
“No, but judging by the cultivation of these Meng family members, it should just be a small family. Who would have thought they could produce such a terrifying descendant? It’s truly enviable.”
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a wave of similar emotions.
It seemed they could already see a powerful family rising in the Tianling Prefecture!
“We won!” On the high platform, many disciples were cheering and jumping with joy!
Their faces showed expressions of surprise and delight.
Today was truly full of twists and turns!
Too exciting!
They never expected that Junior Brother Meng, who always had a free pass, was hiding such formidable strength!
Luckily, there was Junior Brother Meng.
But encountering Xi Yingqing’s increasingly cold eyes, his heart instinctively quivered.
He had to give up.
However, as a high-ranking elder of Wanxiang Pavilion, he couldn’t lose in terms of momentum.
As such, he still maintained a smile.
“By the way, in half a year, there will be the Southern Genius Battle. I hope to see... you then.” Yuan Cang looked at Meng Changqing, speaking softly.
Especially the last word, he emphasized it heavily, as if implying something.
Upon hearing this, Meng Changqing’s eyes narrowed slightly.
It seemed that his sect and this Wanxiang Pavilion were not on good terms, possibly having some kind of enmity.
Otherwise, a supposedly ‘neutral’ Wanxiang Pavilion shouldn’t have this attitude.
After speaking, Yuan Cang led the people of Wanxiang Pavilion and turned to leave.
“Tai Xuan Sect!” Duanmu Yang looked at Xi Yingqing with hatred, then at Meng Changqing, and finally sighed deeply before leaving.
After that, the Giant Spirit Sect did the same.
Only the old city lord of Wind and Cloud City bowed to Xi Yingqing.
Although the Nie family had some involvement in this martial arts gathering, given the trend of the times, the Nie family was actually helpless.
From a rational standpoint, it was understandable.
“Sect Leader, Peak Masters, I am honored not to have disgraced you.” Meng Changqing retracted his gaze and cupped his hands slightly.
“Well done!” Mo Shukuang stepped forward, patted Meng Changqing’s shoulder, and laughed.
“To comprehend sword intent at your age really exceeded my expectations. I thought it would at least take the Divine Attainment Realm, After all, our sect’s first leader comprehended it at the Divine Attainment Realm.”
“Now it seems, you are even better than the ancestors,” Xi Yingqing said with a smile.
His words shook everyone.
Such praise, even more so than during the sect master’s hall ceremony!
The first sect leader was the founder of Tai Xuan Sect!
It was said that he was an incredibly talented individual.
The sect leader actually said Meng Changqing was better than the sect’s founder.
Before, they would not have agreed, but now, they genuinely recognized it.
How many people throughout history have comprehended the supreme sword intent at this age?
It could be counted on one hand, right?
