Sole Sword Supremacy

Chapter 24: Attending the Banquet


The Saintess of Profound Moon Sword Sect visits Jubei City, an event of great significance in itself.

Early in the morning, countless people were already waiting outside the gates of Jubei City, hoping to glimpse the elegance of Luo Qingxuan.

The legends about this Saintess are far too many: A Heaven-Stepping Realm at twenty, hailed as the foremost talent in the Northern Domain. Some even claim that in less than twenty years, Luo Qingxuan might Enter the Saint Realm. Moreover, this pride of heaven is a peerless beauty; just catching a distant glimpse seems enough to boast about for a lifetime.

The crowd waited an entire morning until near noon when they finally saw a brilliant sword light tear through the skies, descending towards Jubei City.

Though it was noon and the sunlight was glaring, when that sword light appeared, it was as if even the sun could not overshadow its radiance!

The sword was like the moon, gliding through the sky, as if leaving a clear moon shadow in mid-air!

"Salute to the Saintess!"

For a moment, the crowd outside the city excitedly shouted in admiration, bowing to the sword light in the sky.

A moment later, the sword light landed in the sky outside the city. Finally, the crowd could see a woman in a moon-white long dress standing on a flying sword, her face covered with a thin veil, nodding slightly in greeting toward the crowd.

"Thank you all!"

Her delicate lips slightly parted, and Luo Qingxuan's crisp voice immediately rang out. Although the voice wasn't loud, it clearly reached the ears of everyone present, as if she were softly greeting them right in front of them.

So beautiful!

Even though Luo Qingxuan was in the sky and her face was veiled, she still gave an impression of utmost beauty.

This beauty was definitely not seductive but had an appeal that transcended gender!

Not staying long, after greeting, Luo Qingxuan tapped the flying sword beneath her feet lightly, heading straight into the city toward the City Lord's Mansion.

At the same time, in an inn, Wang Junze, who had just finished practicing his sword techniques, slightly raised his head to glance at that sword light in the sky, experiencing a similar sense of shock.

So strong!

Even from afar, Wang Junze could feel the other's might. This was a power he'd never seen before, and in comparison, even the City Lord of Jubei City seemed overshadowed. This is the true heavenly talent!

"Envious?"

Sauntering over to Wang Junze's side, Lu Qing asked with some teasing: "That's the Profound Moon Sword Technique. If you can catch Luo Qingxuan's eye and join the Profound Moon Sword Sect, you might be as dazzling someday."

"Brother Lu!"

With a wry smile, Wang Junze couldn't help but ask: "Is your Judgment Department not on good terms with the Profound Moon Sword Sect?"

"That's not something you should concern yourself with now," Lu Qing replied indifferently. "Aren't you supposed to go to the City Lord's Mansion for the banquet? You should go now."

"But I'm uncertain, do you have any advice, Brother Lu?" Looking at Lu Qing, Wang Junze asked again.

"You have eyes and a brain, no need to ask me about everything." With a shrug, Lu Qing answered casually. "Decide for yourself how to choose after meeting Luo Qingxuan today."

After a pause, Lu Qing continued: "As for advice... today's City Lord's Mansion is an excellent stage. If you want to go further, you must give it your all and show your worth. Waste, earns no one's respect, understand?"

Feeling slightly moved, Wang Junze adjusted his posture, clasped his fists, and replied immediately: "Thank you for your guidance, Brother Lu, I know what to do now."

.....

Half an hour later, Wang Junze arrived outside the City Lord's Mansion.

Currently, outside the City Lord's Mansion, the crowd was bustling, but most were kept outside.

Though they came for the banquet, in reality, only a select few were allowed in. Otherwise, with so many wanting to see the Saintess of Profound Moon Sword Sect, the City Lord's Mansion would be overcrowded.

As for forcibly entering... it's no different from seeking death.

Even to take a step back, if one truly had the strength to storm the City Lord's Mansion, they wouldn't say the whole world, but at least there would be nowhere in the Northern Domain they couldn't go.

Straightening his attire, Wang Junze walked to the mansion gate, slightly clasped his fists, and spoke softly: "Wang Junze, invited to the banquet!"

"The City Lord has instructed, Young Master Wang, please!"

The steward responsible for welcoming guests smiled and glanced at Wang Junze, gesturing a welcome.

"Thank you!"

Expressing his gratitude again, Wang Junze stepped toward the City Lord's Mansion, followed by guards ready to guide him.

A moment later, Wang Junze reached the courtyard of the inner residence. From afar, he saw many familiar faces already seated there. A rough count showed that a good two to three hundred people were seated, and fortunately, the garden in the City Lord's Mansion was large enough; otherwise, it couldn't hold so many people.

"Young Master Wang, the Wang Family members are over there. I'll take you."

The guiding guard pointed southeast, speaking softly.

Following the direction indicated, Wang Junze saw his father at once. As the Patriarch of the Wang Family, he was naturally invited, and besides him, his second uncle also came.

Silent for a moment, Wang Junze finally shook his head: "There's no need, I'm no longer a Wang Family member. Please find me another place to sit."
