Noon.

Tiantong City, central region.

The banquet invitation had been confirmed, and he welcomed the young hero.

A butler ran and ran in front of Chu Xiao and respectfully handed over a mask. This is your identity mask, please wear it, the banquet will only start when you present it.

As he said that, the butler glanced at Chu Xiao. As for the treasure that you have brought with you, our City Lord Palace will temporarily keep it for you.

Hm?

Chu Xiao raised his eyebrow, the butler immediately replied: "Young Hero, please do not be offended, Tianxiong Banquet s depend on your own abilities, they do not look at external strength! Temporarily taking care of the treasures on your behalf was also for the sake of fairness. If you really want to get your hands on a weapon, there are...

Oh? In other words, the treasure he had obtained from the Sky Pavilion could not be considered as having been borrowed from an external force?

Chu Xiao asked, the butler said: "Young Hero does not know, the Sky Pavilion was left behind by a wandering expert, all the treasures can only be obtained by the able, the mediocre cannot take it away!" If the young hero didn't believe it, he would immediately know.

So that's how it was.

Chu Xiao nodded his head, thinking that since there was still some time before the banquet, he might as well go to the Sky Pavilion to take a look, maybe he could find a good treasure, and it would be more convenient for him to perform on the Tianxiong Banquet!

With that in mind, Chu Xiao untied the sword at his waist, put on the mask, and said indifferently: Lead the way.

Yes.

The butler took the treasure sword and respectfully brought Chu Xiao to the Sky Pavilion.

The pavilion before him looked ordinary on the surface, but it was surrounded by powerful guards who were on high alert. With a single glance, one could tell that it was out of the ordinary!

Young hero, only the participants of Tianxiong Banquet s will have the qualifications to enter the Sky Pavilion. However, you only have one chance.

The butler lowered his head and said humbly. This matter concerns your Tianxiong Banquet performance later on, so please take it seriously. In addition, your invitation is a guest invitation with a high status, so no matter what treasure you take out from the pavilion, it will always be yours, and we will not get it back.

Mm, not bad.

Chu Xiao nodded his head, and in his heart, he felt even more sympathy for the person with scattered Great Zhou Empire — — That's right! This guest invitation was something he had gotten himself, and it probably took him a bit of effort.

Just as he was thinking, a man in luxurious clothing walked over from beside him. He swept a glance at Chu Xiao, and raised his brows: "Newcomer?"

Young Master Hao!

The butler quickly came up to welcome him and said, "This is Young Master Luo, he is also here to participate in the Tianxiong Banquet's competition."

Gray Lotus Swordsman, his real name was Luo and Chu Xiao immediately used a different name. Hearing this, Young Master Hao's face revealed a trace of disdain: Tiantong City, Yuan Family, Hao Family, on the other hand, I haven't heard of any Luo Family … Sir, are you a foreigner here to try your luck?

What does it have to do with you?

Chu Xiaodan said.

They didn't know each other, yet they came over to say something … This kind of person, Chu Xiao had no interest whatsoever to interact with!

You!

A trace of coldness flashed through Young Master Hao's eyes as he snorted and said, "Sir, I just wanted to give you a bit of advice. Don't fail to recognize the kindness of others!"

He looked up ostentatiously and said, I'll tell you. The Sky Pavilion had its rules! First, anyone who entered the Sky Pavilion would only be able to stay for the time it takes an incense stick to burn. Second, most of the treasures were treasured swords. Although there were other weapons, they were all of high quality. Third...

Young Master Hao spoke as if he was talking about a precious family treasure. His face seemed to be saying, "I'm so knowledgeable, why aren't you praising me?!"

The last and most important point! The treasures of the Sky Pavilion were not something that you could take away just because you wanted to. For instance, the high-grade human-step treasure sword in the middle was something that you absolutely could not pull out! If that happens, just give up. From the looks of it, you should only be able to use a medium-grade earth-step treasure to support yourself. Don't expect too much from me!

As he finished speaking, Young Master Hao glanced at Chu Xiao and said proudly.

He looked at Chu Xiao, his aura was restrained, it was normal and ordinary, and he knew that Chu Xiao must have gotten lucky in order to come here and obtain the treasure! What kind of treasures could such a fellow obtain?

One had to know that the treasures inside all required a corresponding amount of strength to be taken away!

What does it have to do with you?

Chu Xiao still said blandly, but with a bit of impatience. Young Noble Hao knew right away that Chu Xiao didn't even take his words to heart, and was even more contemptuous in his heart: Is this kind of rash youth thinking about stunning everyone? Hehe, just you wait. It won't even take half an incense stick of time for you to be knocked out of the treasure!

People these days are getting more and more arrogant. If you don't have any ability, you can talk!

Prince Hao shook his head and sighed. His tone was filled with ridicule. Unlike me, who had a low-grade human-step treasure, I kept a low profile and didn't say anything!

Didn't you say so now?

The butler at the side silently cursed, but he did not dare to offend Young Noble Hao. On the other hand, Chu Xiao did not pay any attention to him, and directly walked into the Sky Pavilion!

Lifting his eyes, he looked at the sword with the most stern aura and Chu Xiao walked over.

Clang!

Chu Xiao held onto the treasure sword, it immediately released sets of resonating sounds, as though it was resisting him!

Oh?

Chu Xiao was surprised, but quickly nodded his head.

So that's how it is. Is this what the so-called 'the able gets'? Interesting!

As he thought this, his body erupted with power. With a casual pull, he pulled out the sword marked with a low-grade human-step treasure!

The fierce resistance suddenly died down, as if the sword had lost its soul the moment it left the ground!

If not for the cold light telling Chu Xiao that this sword was not ordinary, he would have thought that this was a fake.

But... That's probably true! Even a yellow-rank treasure wouldn't have the intelligence of its own. The reason these swords and other weapons sounded was most likely because of the ground they stabbed into!

That wandering expert who left the Sky Pavilion seemed to have some ability …

Chu Xiao thought for a while, then shook his head to clear his thoughts, he looked at the cold sword in his hand, threw down a hair, and cut it off. What was even more mystical was that the hair on his head started to gradually disappear.

Not a bad sword. No wonder it was labeled low-grade human-step!

However, Chu Xiao was not satisfied. He casually threw the sword to the ground again, and then, he went back to the second floor.

The pavilion was divided into three floors. The best treasure sword on the first floor was only a low-grade human-step treasure sword. As for the second floor, it was already one of the best even among the medium-grade human-step treasures!

As for the third level …

It was said that there was a mysterious sword stuck in the middle. It was one of the sword wielded by the experts who left the Heaven Pavilion, and its quality had reached the top rank of the Human Realm!

This so-called top human-step treasure was far superior to high-grade human-step treasures. Its materials were already at the low-grade yellow-step level, but because of some minor errors in its production and other aspects, it ultimately failed to cross the yellow-step boundary. However, it was infinitely close to the yellow-step boundary!

Even with so many generations of Tianxiong Banquet and so many talents, no one had ever been able to take it away!

Chu Xiao slowly stepped onto the second floor, and after using enough strength, he pulled out the medium-grade human-step treasure sword, and then stabbed it back into the ground.

So estimated... That top rank human-step treasure sword should not be able to be taken away …

After probing twice, Chu Xiao began to mutter to himself. He was prepared to play the pig to eat the tiger, and for the time being, he did not want to reveal his true strength! Since they were already here, why not give it a try!

Thus, Chu Xiao stepped onto the third floor, but just at this time.

Chu Xiao suddenly felt that something was amiss!

Who was it!?

With that said, a figure slowly emerged from the dark corner. Immediately afterwards, a clear voice could be heard …

Listen.

This sword was crying.
