Chapter 1084: Chapter 869: Sword Hero

Su Yuan hurried along, and a few days later, arrived at a rather large cultivator city.

In the largest tavern in the city, Su Yuan was inspecting the intelligence he had just purchased about the Southern Continent, while listening to various cultivators chatting about the world within the tavern.

"It’s said that a week ago, the Earth Qi surged in Golden Bell Valley, causing a star force storm, and it seems there’s also signs of dragon vein convergence!"

"Really?"

"There’s a high chance it’s true. In recent days, many sect experts have already gone to investigate!"

"Well then, besides the first dragon vein forming at Qixia Mountain, there are already three places with dragon vein convergence so far, and there are more than a dozen tiger veins — truly astonishing!"

Su Yuan glanced at the two people talking in the distance and lowered his head in contemplation.

"Qixia Mountain..."

This Qixia Mountain was where he and others had previously sensed the first dragon vein appearing in the Southern Continent.

Now, the formation of this dragon vein has reached its final stage, and it could be born at any moment.

The person continued, "Qixia Mountain is bustling right now. After all, it’s the first dragon vein, and everyone wants to join in the excitement."

The other person said, "Old Wu, I’ve heard that the experts of the Taishang Sect have all been dispatched, and they have made quite a few preparations, seemingly determined to claim the dragon vein at Qixia Mountain."

Old Wu said, "The Taishang Sect is quite powerful, but it may not necessarily take this dragon vein.

And even if they can, it’s not going to be easy.

Sect experts from other righteous paths, Demon Sect, evil cultivators, and the revived demon beasts... none of them will just sit back and watch!

After all, the other dragon veins have just started to show signs of forming, there’s still time."

Su Yuan heard this and nodded secretly.

According to the current intelligence, the guy called "Old Wu" was indeed right.

The evolution of the dragon vein at Qixia Mountain has already reached its final stage, while in other places the dragon veins are just starting to converge.

Even if the Taishang Sect is powerful, swallowing this first dragon vein will certainly require a significant price.

No one wants to see the Taishang Sect easily obtain this dragon vein, otherwise wouldn’t the Taishang Sect be able to preserve their full strength for future contention?

While Su Yuan was pondering, he saw a gray-haired man with thick eyebrows and large eyes, a wine gourd hanging from his belt, stride into the tavern.

Looking around, seeing that Su Yuan’s side was relatively spacious, the gray-haired man walked over and sat down.

The gray-haired man laughed heartily, "Fellow Daoist, do you mind if I join your table?"

Su Yuan looked up at the other party, his eyes involuntarily narrowed.

Although the man’s aura was well hidden, even Su Yuan couldn’t discern his cultivation.

However, the lingering deep murderous aura on him made it clear that he had likely just been through a rather intense battle not long before.

Su Yuan nodded and said, "Of course, please make yourself comfortable."

"Hey, good!"

The gray-haired man immediately ordered a table full of good wine and food, eating heartily for a while, but his gaze fell on Ruan Ruan on Su Yuan’s shoulder.

And Ruan Ruan, being stared at by those bright eyes, couldn’t help but shrink back behind Su Yuan’s neck.

Seeing this, Su Yuan comfortingly patted it lightly.

The gray-haired man asked, "Are you a Beast Tamer, Daoist?"

Su Yuan nodded, "I suppose so."

The gray-haired man took another look at Ruan Ruan, then said, "Such a grade of beast, I’ve only seen in the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect. You truly are impressive, Fellow Daoist!"

Su Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, it was clear the other party seemed to recognize Ruan Ruan’s extraordinariness.

Ruan Ruan possesses the Devouring Law, harmless in itself, for someone to see its extraordinary nature without it displaying its prowess, such people are rare.

"You seem to have remarkable insight, sir?"

The gray-haired man laughed, "I’ve killed quite a few demon beasts lately, so my senses are a bit sharp... oh yes."

The gray-haired man took out the gourd from his waist, poured two cups of pale green liquid, and pushed one cup to Su Yuan.

"Daoist friend, you must try this demon spirit liquor. Just brewed recently, taking a sip will replenish star force and enhance cultivation!"

Silver light flowed through Su Yuan’s eyes, and the All-Knowing Vision unfolded as he looked at the pale green liquid in the cup.

Although it looked ordinary, it was indeed filled with astonishing energy.

Seeing Su Yuan’s apparent doubt, the gray-haired man didn’t mind and raised his cup to drink first.

Su Yuan didn’t look too much, soon raised his cup and took a sip.

"Such pure energy!"

Just as he swallowed it, Su Yuan was slightly surprised, even feeling his cultivation had improved a bit.

"Hahaha, that’s to be expected!" Seeing Su Yuan so astonished, the man laughed, "I didn’t expect to encounter a master like you in this place; otherwise, I wouldn’t have easily shared the Demon Spirit Saliva with others!"

Su Yuan’s eyes slightly focused, his gaze falling on the gourd at the gray-haired man’s side.

This gourd is definitely not simple; it’s a treasure that can aid in cultivation, at least a top-tier Epic Star Artifact.

Su Yuan said, "Thank you for the drink, may I ask your name?"

The gray-haired man laughed: "I never change my name while traveling, I am Fu Chaosheng of the Ten Thousand Sword Heavenly Sect!"

"What, Fu Chaosheng!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the tavern turned to look, their eyes full of astonishment and admiration.

"One of the Ten Heroes, Sword Leader of the Intention Sword Lineage, Fu Chaosheng?"

"First slayed the Sky Wind Lord, then the Centipede Scorpion, slaying demons and exterminating evil, Sword Hero Fu Chaosheng!"

"Is it really him, to see him in person today!"

"Speaking of which, there is a Black Bear Spirit appearing eight hundred miles northwest... could Sword Hero Fu be here for it!"

"..."

Su Yuan, having returned after many years, was not very familiar with the Burning Sun Experts of the Southern Continent.

However, at this moment, listening to the discussions around him, he already understood the identity and significance of the person in front of him.

In the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect, only the leader of a lineage could be called the Sword Leader.

Although surrounded by the crowd, Fu Chaosheng continued to drink and eat with ease.

"May I ask for your name and which sect do you belong to?" Fu Chaosheng asked.

Su Yuan replied, "I am Su Yuan, a mere loose cultivator."

"A loose cultivator?" Fu Chaosheng sized up Su Yuan, then nodded, "For such a master to emerge among loose cultivators, if there were someone like Friend Su in the sects, I would have heard of it."

Encountering an expert from the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect, Su Yuan took the opportunity to subtly gather a lot of information.

After they exchanged a few more words, Fu Chaosheng asked, "Friend Su, where are you heading next?"

Su Yuan answered, "I’m planning to go to Qixia Mountain."

"Qixia Mountain?" Fu Chaosheng was quite surprised, "Is Friend Su also vying for the Dragon Vein?"

With the presence of great forces like the Ten Great Sects, it’s normally difficult for a lone loose cultivator to seize a Dragon Vein.

After all, how can one person fight against the many of a great force?

Su Yuan laughed, "I’m just a loose cultivator, my realm is not as high as Friend Fu’s; I have no intention of vying for a Dragon Vein. It’s just that such a grand event is once in a lifetime, I naturally want to take a look."

"That makes sense..." Fu Chaosheng thought for a moment and nodded, reminding, "Nowadays, Qixia Mountain is crowded with heroes, a mixed gathering of all sorts. If you go, Friend Su, be extra careful."

"Thank you for the reminder, but from your words, it seems Friend Fu is not planning to head to Qixia Mountain?"

Fu Chaosheng’s expression became solemn as he shook his head, "With the Beast Tribulation emerging and ancient Great Demons reviving,

recently, due to many sect experts struggling for the Dragon Vein, manpower is lacking, causing Demon Beasts to rampage and bring misery everywhere.

Though my abilities are limited, at this time, I will solve what I can!"

Hearing this, Su Yuan couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration and respect, especially after having just witnessed the calamities caused by the Nine Infant Avatars.

With Great Demons rampant, ordinary cultivators are absolutely no match, let alone ordinary people.

Yet Fu Chaosheng, amidst tribulations and opportunities, still cares for countless people, slaying demons and saving lives, truly deserving the title of Sword Hero.

In cultivation, one should avoid harm and profit, become more selfish.

After all, energy is limited, and most people, including Su Yuan, would not walk such a chivalrous path.

But precisely because of this, it highlights its rare value.

At this moment, Fu Chaosheng poured another cup of Demon Spirit Saliva: "There’s just enough for one more cup each, Friend Su, let’s have another drink before parting."

Su Yuan smiled, raised his cup, and drank with him.

After finishing, Fu Chaosheng nodded to Su Yuan: "This one’s on me, fare thee well, until we meet again!"

Having said that, Fu Chaosheng left some Star Stones, transformed into a swift sword light that leaped out of the tavern, rode the wind, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"He really is straightforward, coming and going like the wind," Su Yuan marveled.

With Fu Chaosheng’s departure, the crowd’s eyes fell on Su Yuan.

Su Yuan, however, didn’t mind others’ gazes; if not for meeting Fu Chaosheng, he would have set off long ago.

With a flash of silver light on his body, Su Yuan soared toward the direction of Qixia Mountain...
