Chapter 276: Chapter 160: Wisdom Sword, Besieged City (Three-in-One) (Part 3)

But Chen Kuang wanted to catch it, so he did.

"Pop," a light collision sounded.

Chen Kuang’s hands had firmly grasped the sword blade and hilt—he caught the sword with both hands, showing respect to a Sword Cultivator, and also because the sword’s edge was not complete; its thick parts could be held with hands.

But the problem is... Chen Kuang wasn’t supposed to catch this sword.

He caught not the sword.

But the Sword Will of the "Wisdom Sword."

Chen Kuang looked at the sword in his hand, and sighed inwardly.

Before this sword left his hand, he hadn’t detected the Sword Will on it. This indicated that Jiang Yunqing had applied Sword Will the moment he threw the sword. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

This was a blatant probe!

Why does it always happen that when I think of being low-key, I end up failing before I even start...

Chen Kuang looked up, and sure enough, the expressions of everyone present changed greatly.

The gazes of Yan Hui, Tang Qiusheng, and others carried a bit of solemnity, and Shen Yuliu was utterly dumbfounded.

Not only the younger generation, but all the surrounding elders showed a trace of wonder.

Jiang Yunqing’s sword was appraised in the Canglang Review as "the pinnacle of Sword Dao not reached, a shining vacuum might chase the clouds."

The meaning was quite simple; the absolute pinnacle signified the place where the "Sword Saint" perished, and the author of the Canglang Review believed Jiang Yunqing might reach the realm of the "Sword Saint"!

This is already the highest praise for a Sword Cultivator.

His Sword Will was also labeled by "Elder Sword," one of the three elders of Immortal Island, as "Wisdom," thus earning the nickname "Wisdom Sword."

A wise one, almost akin to Dao.

This shows the high evaluation of Jiang Yunqing, and ever since Jiang Yunqing left the Sword Lodge and entered the Jianghu, few have been able to catch his sword.

Among his peers, only the two sisters of the Shen Family could do so.

Now, there’s one more, Chen Ruogu, who’s only in the Tower Ascension Realm!

Holding the sword, Chen Kuang sensed the vast and ethereal Sword Will as if enveloped by clouds and mists. He took a deep breath, looked at Jiang Yunqing, and smiled:

"Indeed, it’s a very good sword. Is there a name for it?"

Jiang Yunqing seemed to brighten up and said, "Salt Plum."

Tang Qiusheng couldn’t help but exclaim since he always thought Jiang Yunqing’s sword was also called "Wisdom Sword," yet it turns out this sword has another name.

The others reacted similarly, as Jiang Yunqing seemed never to have mentioned the name of his sword externally, especially such a distinctive name.

Wen Yao squinted his eyes, glanced at Chen Kuang twice, and said in a deep voice:

"Since everyone’s here, and we’re acquainted, can we leave now?"

Everyone gathered their thoughts from the earlier interruption and nodded in agreement.

Grandmasters from various sects exchanged glances and simultaneously formed seals. In an instant, the light within the Stone Gate turned from white to black, where stars seemed to swirl, unfathomable.

The Grandmaster of the Mystic God Daoist Sect stood up, waved his sleeve, and ten streaks of light flew into the hands of several people, saying:

"As for the rules of the Pinggu Battlefield, you must have already known before leaving your master, but to be safe, I’ll reiterate."

"From the moment you enter the Pinggu Battlefield, you have only seven days. During this time, you will individually enter different battlefields to comprehend, but there is a small chance you might enter the same battlefield. There, the essence of Pinggu will automatically merge your identities for convenience."

"Usually, Upper Three Grades do not appear in these battlefields, so the possibility of life-threatening situations is relatively small."

"But should you encounter a battlefield with Upper Three Grades, you can crush the Teleportation Jade Slip in your hand to leave the Pinggu Battlefield immediately, so never lose the jade slip in your hand."

"All visible objects in the battlefield can be real or fake, some manifested by the secret realm, others drawn in from the outside world over thousands of years. You must judge whether you can take them from the secret realm, do not blindly seize them, or it would all be for naught; don’t say I didn’t warn you."

"When a battlefield ends, you can move to the next one. You may try to intervene in the battlefield’s process, but remember the four-character phrase ’act within your means.’"

The Grandmaster of the Mystic God Daoist Sect surveyed the group: "That’s all from me, have you remembered?"

Everyone naturally claimed yes.

Chen Kuang rubbed the Jade Slip in his hand, yet thought to himself, this Pinggu Battlefield seems to be quite safe. At least from these rules, there isn’t much competitive relationship among participants.

If luck is on my side and I do not encounter anyone, then staying for seven days and returning full-handed, wouldn’t that be a hefty profit?

Low risk, high reward, no wonder these major sects are keen on controlling this wild secret realm and transforming it into private territory.

This is practically a free and vast resource library!

Who wouldn’t want to monopolize it?

Thinking about it, these seven days should not be too difficult for him...

When the white light within the Stone Gate was entirely occupied by darkness, the grandmasters simultaneously shouted, "Enter!"

Yan Hui took the lead, soared into the air, and transformed into a red shadow that vanished into the darkness.

"Shen Xingzhu" followed closely behind, while the others couldn’t hold back and entered the Stone Gate one after another.

Wen Yao surprisingly moved second-to-last.

As for the last one... it was Chen Kuang.

Chen Kuang was about to move, but he saw that Wen Yao’s eyes, which had diffused into double pupils, merged into one at the moment of entering the Stone Gate, overlapping and emitting profound golden light!

But this only lasted for a moment; in the next instant, Wen Yao vanished into it.
