“Strongest Eight-Year-Old Divine Ancestor ... ”
Ximen Piaopiao's words had been spoken, and the man and woman accompanying her found it awkward to say anything further. They could only stand up somewhat uncomfortably and join Ximen Piaopiao by Ye Fan's side.
Ximen Piaopiao said, “Ye Fan, you don’t mind, do you?”
Now that they were here, what could Ye Fan say?
He could only smile sheepishly and reply, “Not at all, Brother Ximen. Everyone is welcome to sit down together.”
Upon hearing this, Ximen Piaopiao burst into laughter. “Haha, Ye Fan is indeed straightforward. No wonder I felt an instant connection with you.”
“By the way, let me introduce you,” Ximen Piaopiao gestured to her companions. “This is Wu Qiuyang, and this is Heng Yuzhu. Like me, they are both prodigies in the sword arts.”
While praising others, Ximen Piaopiao did not forget to mention herself, which caused a bitter smile to appear on Ye Fan's face.
However, when he glanced at Wu Qiuyang and Heng Yuzhu, a hint of interest flickered in his eyes.
The reason he had stayed at Sword Cloud Star was to see if he could find suitable individuals to pass down the Heavenly Sword Emperor's Twenty-Four Sword Techniques.
If what Ximen Piaopiao said was true and all three of them were indeed prodigies in the sword arts, as long as their character was up to par, Ye Fan wouldn’t mind teaching them a move or two from the Heavenly Sword Emperor's Twenty-Four Sword Techniques.
He would even be willing to teach them everything if it came to that.
Wu Qiuyang and Heng Yuzhu both nodded slightly in greeting to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan also smiled back at the two of them and nodded in acknowledgment.
Ximen Piaopiao sat down without any hesitation, and soon the waiter brought over a variety of delicious dishes and celestial wine.
After taking a sip, Ximen Piaopiao looked at Ye Fan with curiosity and asked, "Night Fan, since you are not a cultivator from Sword Cloud Star, are you here from somewhere else to attend the gathering in Famous Sword City?"
"The gathering in Famous Sword City?" Ye Fan replied, a hint of confusion appearing on his face. "To be honest, I have no idea what this Famous Sword City gathering is about. Could you enlighten me?"
"Wait, you actually don’t know about the Famous Sword City gathering?" Seeing Ye Fan's puzzled expression, Ximen Piaopiao was taken aback.
Wu Qiuyang and Heng Yuzhu were equally surprised. Heng Yuzhu spoke in a gentle and ethereal voice, "Famous Sword City is the main city of Sword Cloud Star. Soon, the Famous Sword Ranking will be held, calling upon sword cultivators from across the immortal realm to participate. Anyone who makes it onto the ranking will be able to join the Famous Sword Sect and become its disciple."
"That's right," Wu Qiuyang added. "Moreover, it is said that those who rank high on the Famous Sword Ranking not only gain entry into the Famous Sword Sect but also receive guidance from prominent figures of the Ming Sword Sect. They may even enter one of the Three Great Sword Halls of the Famous Sword Sect and learn supreme sword techniques from Celestial King-level masters."
"I see."
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan began to understand what the so-called Famous Sword City Gathering was about.
The gathering was merely an event to select some promising talents to recruit into their sect.
With this thought in mind, Ye Fan couldn't help but ask, "By the way, is the Famous Sword Sect very powerful?"
Ximen Piaopiao looked at Ye Fan with a hint of exasperation and said, "Night Fan, you really are quite uninformed. Coming to Sword Cloud Star and not knowing about the Famous Sword Sect! Autumn Sun, why don't you explain it to him properly?"
Wu Qiuyang nodded and said to Ye Fan, "The Famous Sword Sect is the dominant force on Sword Cloud Star and is the absolute ruler of this place as well as the spirit of swordsmanship here. Within the Famous Sword Sect are powerful beings from the Three Great Immortal Kings Realm. Besides the sect leader, Sword King Prelude, the other two Celestial King Realm experts are Jade Spring Sword Immortal and Yuan Guang Sword Immortal."
"The three of them are also the masters of the Three Great Sword Halls of the Famous Sword Sect."
"Moreover, whether it is the Jade Spring Sword Immortal's Jade Spring Sword Technique or the Yuan Guang Sword Immortal's Yuan Guang Sword Technique, each has its unique qualities that make countless sword cultivators in the Sword Cloud Star eager to become their disciples."
Ye Fan nodded at this, appearing unfazed, his expression showing no signs of change.
Seeing Ye Fan's lack of enthusiasm, Ximen Piaopiao said, "Of course, the strongest sword technique from the Famous Sword Sect is undoubtedly the Sword King Prelude. It is said that when she unleashes her Flying Rain Sword Technique, it creates a rain of swords that fills the sky, flowing like water without a trace. Not only is it breathtakingly beautiful, but its speed is equally astonishing. Rumor has it that she is as beautiful and cold as her technique."
"Oh? So the leader of the Famous Sword Sect, Sword King Prelude, is actually a woman?" Ye Fan asked, intrigued by the idea that someone could become a sect leader and rule over a Cultivation Planet.
Ximen Piaopiao looked starry-eyed as she replied, "No, she isn't just a woman; strictly speaking, she should be considered an ice fairy. And 'Sword King Prelude' is merely an external title for her. It is said that her true name goes beyond just Curtain Melody; there are more names known to few!"
"I would like to meet her if given the chance!" Ye Fan said with a smile.
Ximen Piaopiao exclaimed, "The opportunity is right before you! Aren't you planning to attend the Famous Sword Festival in Famous Sword City? If you can rank high enough in the Famous Sword Ranking to enter the Famous Sword Sect, you will surely get to see Sword King Prelude and behold her beauty."
With a look of longing, Ximen Piaopiao added, "Who knows, you might even get to join her in the Sword King's Palace; that would be simply wonderful!"
Meanwhile, Heng Yuzhu noticed Ximen Piaopiao's infatuated demeanor and couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy. She lightly huffed and remarked, "At this rate, even if you did enter the Sword King's Palace, you wouldn't last three days before being crushed by the Sword King herself."
Ximen Piaopiao seemed unfazed by this and laughed heartily, "As they say, dying under a pomegranate skirt is still a romantic way to go. If I were to be crushed by Curtain Melody herself, I would gladly accept it."
"Shameless!" Heng Yuzhu retorted angrily and chose to ignore Ximen Piaopiao.
Wu Qiuyang glanced awkwardly at Ye Fan, conveying that this was typical behavior from Ximen Piaopiao.
Ye Fan felt somewhat speechless; it seemed that Sword King Prelude was indeed an extraordinary figure who embodied both swordsmanship and beauty.
Incredible, simply incredible.
Ye Fan's expression turned serious as he said, "It seems I really need to check out the event at Famous Sword City."
Wu Qiuyang replied, "Since Night Fan is also attending the Famous Sword City event, it would be great for us to travel together."
"Yes, that way we can look out for each other," Heng Yuzhu added.
Ye Fan nodded and said, "Then I will have to trouble you all on the journey."
Suddenly, as everyone was conversing, an overwhelming pressure swept through the air, instantly passing over everyone and causing their expressions to change dramatically.
This Spiritual Sense was extraordinarily powerful; when it swept through, it left everyone in the inn with a suffocating feeling.
Ye Fan felt it too.
"It must be a presence from the Celestial King Realm; otherwise, this Spiritual Sense wouldn't be so formidable!" Ximen Piaopiao said, somewhat alarmed. Having encountered many Celestial King Realm experts in his family before, he could clearly sense its strength.
At this moment, Ye Fan couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly.
He thought to himself, "Could it be a Celestial King from the Suspended King Sword Sect or the Ninefold Celestial Gate or perhaps from the Celestial Demon Domain?"
