At this moment, a black-robed Swordsman who looked to be about 27 or 28 years old was standing on the stage. He had just easily defeated a challenger and was drinking wine on the stage.
In his right hand was a superior-grade immortal sword inlaid with seven yellow gemstones, and in his left hand was a jadeite wine gourd that looked very good. He poured wine into his mouth. These two things were full of spiritual energy and contained treasure light. One look and one could tell that they were not ordinary items.
However, while holding these two precious magical treasures, this Swordsman's hair and Daoist robe were disheveled. It was obvious that the stubble on his face had not been cleaned for a while. While he was drunk, he did not care about his image at all. He drank half a mouthful, causing the wine to stain his clothes and hair.
He had a profound cultivation base, a luxurious immortal sword, and a wild and unruly way of doing things despite his addiction to alcohol.
When these three appeared on the same person, he naturally became the focus of the audience.
Through the enthusiastic discussion of the surrounding crowd, Ye Qing also roughly understood what this arena sword competition meant.
To put it bluntly, it was just a method used by the Dark Light Inspection Department to clear their name.
The method was very simple. It was to recruit those well-known 'righteous knights', and then use the influence of these people to drive the fishing wheel of the ignorant masses, and finally achieve the goal of cleansing their own image.
Along the way, he could also use this to recruit itinerant cultivators.
In the eyes of Ye Qing, a transmigrator, this kind of behavior was similar to what Ruyang Mansion did in the Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre.
While recruiting martial arts experts from the Han people of the Central Plains to work for him, he could also use these people to further whitewash the image of the Yuan Dynasty in the eyes of the ignorant masses. In the end, he could achieve the goal of maintaining the rule of the court.
These two were essentially the same.
However, compared to the Yuan Dynasty, which was riddled with internal and external troubles, the Xiao family and the Black Light Inspection Department were far from weak.
At this moment, the Blacklight Examiner looked like a eunuch from the East Hall in the eyes of the wandering cultivators and neutral cultivators.
In the years that the patriarch of the Xiao clan had been the Alliance Lord, the Dark Light Inspection Department had been carrying out a series of cruel acts with his support. Many cultivators and clans had long since been filled with hatred.
Even so, there were still many cultivators who came to seek refuge.
They came for fame, profit, or other unknown purposes.
Perhaps in the future, the Dark Light Inspection Department would fall because of public anger. But now, at least on the surface, the Xiao Clan and the Dark Light Inspection Department still held the largest portion of power in the Dao Alliance.
This was the true situation of the Human Unity Dao Alliance.
And this swordsman in black was obviously a tool chosen by the Black Light Inspection Department to whitewash their image and recruit talents.
Moreover, judging from the discussions of the crowd, their operation this time was very successful.
"By the way, I heard that the people of the Darklight Inspectorate were all black-hearted and that they would persecute the Dao Alliance cultivators without any bottom line. Now, it seems like that was just a rumor.”
"That's right. Even the heroic and unparalleled Carefree Divine Sword has joined them. It's enough to prove that those rumors are just slander.”
"Indeed. Let's not talk about anything else. The heroic deeds of the 'Carefree Divine Sword' in his early years are still widely circulated. His character is definitely trustworthy.”
"Originally, I was hesitating whether I should work for the Dark Light Inspection Department. Now that I see Hero Li here, I'm completely relieved, haha.”
"I believe in Hero Li!"
"Speaking of which, Great Hero Li is really as unrestrained as the rumors say. He really lives up to his reputation as the 'Liquor Sword God', haha!”
"However, is the person up there really that 'Carefree Divine Sword' Great Swordsman Li? I feel that something is wrong."
"Pah, don't talk nonsense. Look at that Seven Star Sword, magic treasure wine gourd, and that unrestrained style. Who else could it be but Great Hero Li himself? It can't be wrong!"
……
The surrounding people were discussing animatedly. When Ye Qing heard the discussion, he could not help but frown slightly.
Then, just as he was thinking about how best to resolve this matter, a voice suddenly attracted everyone's attention from the arena in front of him.
"You are not the Carefree Divine Sword!"
A muscular square-faced man with a huge sword on his back jumped onto the stage.
He looked at the black-robed swordsman in front of him with an honest expression.
The swordsman in black did not get angry when he saw this. Instead, he gulped down two mouthfuls of wine and showed his 'wild bearing' before he opened his sleepy eyes and asked.
"You're the one who said I'm not the Carefree Divine Sword?”
the square-faced man replied in a rough voice.
"That's right, I don't believe you are the Carefree Divine Sword!”
"None of us have seen what the Carefree Divine Sword looks like, and now you suddenly jump out and say that you are. Although the Seven Star Sword and the magic treasure wine gourd are exactly the same as the rumors, just these two things alone can't prove that you are the Carefree Divine Sword!”
The black-robed swordsman laughed when he heard that. He didn't care much about it and raised his head to drink another mouthful of wine.
"Then tell me, how do you want to prove it?"
The man chuckled.
"To tell you the truth, two years ago when I was at Qingfeng Mountain, I unfortunately encountered a black tiger demon at the peak of the Daemon King level. I almost died on the spot. It was all thanks to the Carefree Divine Sword Li that I happened to pass by.
"Although he might not remember me, Lin Yan, who is a nobody, I have always remembered his life-saving grace in my heart. Therefore, although my cultivation is not high, I will definitely not allow others to use his reputation to impersonate him and do things that will damage his reputation!
Although I couldn't see his face clearly from afar, the peerless sword technique he used was deeply engraved in my mind. I probably wouldn't be able to forget it for the rest of my life.
As for you, although you have never lost a single battle as the arena lord, I have never seen you use the ultimate techniques that he relied on to become famous, the Innumerable Sword Technique and the Carefree Divine Sword. Therefore, I seriously suspect that you are not the Carefree Divine Sword himself!”
Lin Yan's words were powerful and sonorous. The audience could not help but cheer.
At the same time, everyone began to discuss.
"Yeah, that's right. I've watched him for so long, but I've never seen him use the Innumerable Sword Technique and the Carefree Divine Sword.”
"Could this person really be pretending?”
The audience discussed animatedly.
On the stage, the black-robed swordsman didn't care at all when he heard this. He still had that carefree and unruly posture.
"Hahahaha, your suspicion is completely reasonable. Li Xiaoyao, who doesn't know the Innumerable Sword Technique and the Carefree Divine Sword, no one will believe that he is the legendary Carefree Divine Sword!”
As he spoke, he took another sip of wine.
"Then, since you want to see it today, I'll show you what the real Xiao Yao God Sword is!'”
He raised the Seven Stars Immortal Sword in his hand drunkenly and aimed it at Lin Yan.
At this moment, everyone felt that the person in front of them had changed.
It became extremely sharp and imposing.
Then, under everyone's surprised gazes, he slowly spoke, one word after another.
"I saw it clearly."
"This first move, Myriad Sword Art!”
