"Stand still. Wait for a while at the side. I don't have that much time to greet people like you all one by one." Shi Fengping shot Lin Hao a glance, and said with an arrogant attitude.
At a time like this, Lin Hao would not bother with Shi Fengping. After all, he came for the clues of the Time God Stone, so it would not be good for him to provoke too much trouble.
Following that, people continued to arrive at the Hidden Sword Villa one after another. As long as their cultivation realm exceeded or above the Fifth Level of Elemental King Stage, Shi Fengping would arrange for people to bring them into the Hidden Sword Villa.
As for those below Fifth Level of Elemental King Stage, they were all bluntly told to wait by the side by Shi Fengping.
Roughly two hours later.
The sky had almost darkened when Shi Fengping walked in front of a group of people waiting at the side. With his hands behind his back, he said: "This time's Sword Conference, although it is open to any swordsman, even though it is large, it is still limited. If the guest rooms in the guest rooms are all filled up by you unranked swordsmen, then the other distinguished guests who arrived late will have no place to stay."
"Young Master Shi, are you saying that we do not have the qualifications to enter the Hidden Sword Villa? You want us to find a place to stay and wait for Sword Conference to begin before coming back? "
A swordsman around the age of 30 stood up and said with a frown.
Shi Fengping shook his head, and said: "No, I am not asking you to live in any other place, but most of you are not qualified to participate in Sword Conference!"
Hearing those words, the crowd immediately burst into an uproar, and many disgruntled voices sounded.
"I had thought that Hidden Sword Villa was really amazing, but it turns out that they're also people who look down upon others with their dog eyes."
"Hmph, spreading the news is pretty good. Summon the Eastern Yuan Swordsmen to hold a grand ceremony for the cultivation of the Dao of the Sword …" "Pfft!"
"Young Master Shi, I want to know if this is your own idea or your Hidden Sword Villa?"
Hearing the discussions within the crowd, Shi Fengping laughed coldly, "This is my idea, and also our Hidden Sword Villa's intention. Sword Conference is the grand ceremony of Swordsman of the Eastern Origin Realm, those who can participate are naturally the most outstanding people in the Eastern Origin Realm. If some salted fish and dogs were to enter, wouldn't it become a joke?"
"Shi Fengping, you're talking too much. Since you said that we don't have the qualifications, then I want to see what this last disciple of your Hidden Sword Villa can do!"
A Fourth Level of Elemental King Stage warrior bellowed, and with a swoosh, he pulled out the sword in his hand, and slashed towards Shi Fengping.
Shi Fengping stood in his original position, his feet not moving at all. He also took out his treasure sword and stabbed forward.
Lin Hao watched this from the side. Previously, Shi Fengping only cultivated to the third level of the Elemental King Stage, but now, his Fourth Level of Elemental King Stage had already risen as well.
Furthermore, his sword was cut off by Lin Hao's sword earlier, and now he had changed his sword too.
"Clang!"
The sword in the hand of the sword artist who had made the move, flew out of his hand from the impact. His entire body also staggered back a few steps, his face was pale, and the right hand that was holding the sword just now trembled.
"You want to participate in the Sword Conference with such little strength? It's best not to embarrass yourself! " Shi Feng Lin sneered.
The surrounding people could all see that Shi Fengping's strength was not simple. Even though he was in the Fourth Level of Elemental King Stage realm, the sword heart arts used to cultivate Hidden Sword Villa, as well as many profound and powerful sword techniques, were not weaker than ordinary Fifth Level of Elemental King Stage experts.
Seeing that he had shocked everyone just now, Shi Fengping was very satisfied with their reactions, and then said: "I am also doing this for your own good, I do not have enough strength, so I am only asking to be humiliated by myself by participating in Sword Conference, but our Hidden Sword Villa is extremely magnanimous, and it is also to prevent some villains from gossiping behind our backs, so I will not give you all the chance to do so."
As long as you compete with each other, and get into the top three, I will give him the qualification to participate in Sword Conference. If you lose, then you better get the hell away from it.
Everyone was dissatisfied with what Shi Fengping had said.
However, even if they did not offend the Hidden Sword Villa, as Shi Fengping's strength was in front of them now, they knew that they were no match for Shi Fengping, so they could only do as Shi Fengping said.
Thus, this group of people had vigilant expressions on their faces. They stared at the people around them, fearing that they would suddenly be attacked.
Lin Hao's expression remained calm.
He really did not want to provoke any additional trouble.
But, for him to listen to Shi Fengping's orders, engage in a free-for-all with a group of people, and satisfy Shi Fengping's sense of superiority?
Lin Hao would never do this.
Thus, he walked out of the group of vigilant looking people and walked towards Shi Fengping.
"What are you doing?" Shi Fengping squinted his eyes, stared at Lin Hao, and said with an ice-cold tone.
Lin Hao opened his mouth and said: "If I defeat you, I should be qualified to participate in the Sword Conference."
"You mean, you want to fight me?" Shi Fengping's face darkened.
"That's right." Lin Hao said calmly.
The surrounding group of people all looked at Lin Hao with extreme shock. A fellow with Fourth Level of Elemental King Stage who couldn't even withstand a single simple move from Shi Fengping, yet this young fellow with First Level of Elemental King Stage actually threatened to directly fight with Shi Fengping … Although no one liked what Shi Fengping did, Lin Hao's actions made them feel that he did not know the depth of the heavens and the earth.
"Hahaha, what a joke! You think you can fight with me with a mere First Level of Elemental King Stage? I can crush you with a single finger! " Shi Fengping's expression was full of contempt as he laughed and said.
I don't know.
Just over a month ago.
In terms of Baohua City, he had already suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Lin Hao.
Although Shi Fengping's cultivation had increased, the extent of his increase in cultivation was even greater than this Shi Fengping.
At that time, Lin Hao was only at the Tenth Level of Elemental Core Stage level. Now, he had already stepped over a great threshold, and had successfully transformed into a pellet, stepping into the First Level of Elemental King Stage.
Furthermore, there were already several Fourth Level of Elemental King Stage warriors who died at Lin Hao's hands, and one of them was even a Young Sect Master from the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect!
After laughing for a while, Shi Fengping pulled out his sword once again, pointed the sword tip straight at Lin Hao, and said: "Then take out your sword, let me teach you how to use it."
Lin Hao shook his head, and said: "The sword is in the heart, it is fine."
At this moment, everyone was shocked once again by Lin Hao's words. They could clearly see that Lin Hao's so-called sword was in his heart … It was only because he did not put Shi Fengping in his eyes at all, and did not even bother taking out his sword to challenge Shi Fengping...
