“True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws, shouldn’t we reconsider this matter?”
Divine Lord Tong Luo tried to persuade him. He didn’t want to see such a scene, nor did he want the Tian Pavilion to be defeated and thereby exit the stage of Tianlan Giant City.
After all, even if the Tian Pavilion left Tianlan Giant City, they could still rise elsewhere, though it would delay them for some years. As a member of the Gaohe Merchant Association, Divine Lord Tong Luo hoped to bring Ye Tian and the Tian Pavilion into the ranks of the Tianlan Giant City powers. If Ye Tian became the Supreme of the Human Race in the future, they could gain more influence within the human race. This was also the desired outcome of the Dominator of the Gaohe Merchant Association.
Furthermore, the Gaohe Merchant Association had a good relationship with the City Lord of Tianlan. With the City Lord’s support, they had grown to become the second largest power in Tianlan Giant City. The Gaohe Merchant Association also learned about Ye Tian’s situation from the City Lord of Tianlan, which was why they were so eager to associate with Ye Tian.
While other forces knew Ye Tian was formidable and the most powerful prince of the contemporary human race, they merely regarded him as an ordinary Supreme-level prince. They believed Ye Tian had the potential to become a Supreme in the future, but that future seemed far off.
It was impossible for them to be intimidated just because a genius had the potential to become a Supreme. If the competition for power within the human race was based on talent alone rather than strength, there would be no need for the various human factions to compete at all. Some people would try to curry favor with geniuses, but others would not.
The Ten Light Sword Sect did not try to curry favor with Ye Tian and disliked seeing the Tian Pavilion rise. If the Tian Pavilion did rise, the Ten Light Sword Sect’s future interests in Tianlan Giant City would inevitably diminish. Unlike other forces, which had largely stalled in their development and were not significantly impacted by resource fluctuations, the Ten Light Sword Sect was rapidly developing. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have relocated their headquarters.
Currently, even a branch of the Ten Light Sword Sect in Tianlan Giant City ranked among the top forces there. Considering the overall strength of the entire Ten Light Sword Sect, they could absolutely rival the City Lord’s mansion of Tianlan Giant City.
Now, the entire Ten Light Sword Sect was a high-tier Dominator-level force, boasting several Dominators. It was not without hope of advancing to a Supreme-level force in the future. Therefore, the Ten Light Sword Sect was now in the process of cultivating a Supreme, albeit with slim chances. They were still making the effort.
In addition, they were also striving to cultivate other disciples, resulting in an astronomical consumption of resources. Tianlan Giant City was an important resource point for the Ten Light Sword Sect. They had to suppress new forces to secure enough resources.
The Tian Pavilion wanted to join the Tianlan Giant City Powers Gathering, but the Ten Light Sword Sect naturally opposed this and was not afraid of offending Ye Tian.
“Divine Lord Tong Luo, there’s no need to persuade further. I have a plan!” Ye Tian said with a smile.
Seeing this, Divine Lord Tong Luo waved his hand and sighed, giving up on persuasion. The Gaohe Merchant Association, being just one member of the assembly, could not decide the entire assembly’s actions and thus could not prevent the Tian Pavilion from challenging the Ten Light Sword Sect!
“If the Tian Pavilion loses, they will never be able to join the Tianlan Giant City Powers Gathering. The chairman will definitely blame me for not handling the matter well!” Divine Lord Tong Luo thought helplessly.
As expected, after exchanging several dozen moves, Feng Zhi was defeated by the Ten Light Sword Sect’s Great God.
“Pavilion Master, Vice Pavilion Master, I’ve disgraced the Tian Pavilion,” said the injured Feng Zhi, feeling ashamed.
“You did well. You just need more time to cultivate. In the future, you’ll surely surpass your opponent,” Ye Tian encouraged her.
“Thank you for your reassurance, Pavilion Master. Feng Zhi will continue to work hard!” Feng Zhi said with determination.
Meanwhile, a Galaxy-level expert from the Ten Light Sword Sect communicated with Sword Master Baili, “Lord Baili, the Tian Pavilion’s foundation is too weak. They can’t field strong Great God or Planetary System-level fighters. Although the True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws is formidable at the Galaxy level, our Ten Light Sword Sect can’t match him there. But at the Planetary System level, we can easily crush them. Whom should we send for the Planetary System level? What are your instructions?”
“Send out the branch’s First Sword Disciple. Make sure to defeat the Tian Pavilion’s Planetary System-level fighter decisively. The Tian Pavilion’s Planetary System-level members haven’t cultivated for long. This should be an easy task,” Sword Master Baili replied.
“Lord Baili, if the First Sword Disciple takes the field, it will undoubtedly be easy. He once reached the level of a Half-Step Child of the Universe. If not for a slight deficiency in destiny, he could have become a full-fledged Child of the Universe,” the Galaxy-level expert said.
With a thunderous boom, the Ten Light Sword Sect’s First Sword Disciple appeared on the temporary arena, while the Tian Pavilion sent out Xiao Yue. All the major forces knew Xiao Yue’s background and were stunned to see her take the stage.
“The True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws’ wife is fighting? Isn’t he worried about her safety?”
“Haha, the True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws possesses time and space talents. If something happens, he can intervene in time.”
“Hahaha, that’s true!”
“Who do you think will win?”
“Is that even a question? It has to be the Ten Light Sword Sect. Their First Sword Disciple, Han Guang Sword Lord, ranks among the top three Planetary System-level experts even at the main sect.”
The crowd discussed fervently, and no one believed in Xiao Yue’s chances. Meanwhile, Ye Tian kept smiling, entirely unconcerned about his wife. Only he knew Xiao Yue’s current combat strength. Han Guang Sword Lord was definitely not a match for Xiao Yue!
