Hearing the burly man's question, Wu Jian suddenly remembered what Wu Di had said to him back then.
Hence, Wu Jian replied,"
"Ye Gucheng will win."
"However, Ye Gucheng will probably take the initiative to die to help Ximen Chuixue.”
"How can Family Head Wu be so sure?"
Seeing that Wu Jian was so sure, the burly man asked curiously.
At this moment, not only the burly man, but even the other people who had been invited to the Forbidden City to watch the battle were also very curious about why Wu Jian would make such a judgment.
In their eyes, Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng were locked in a battle, and there was no difference between them at all.
As martial grandmasters, could it be that Wu Jian's eyesight was higher than theirs?
Since he had already said this, Wu Jian simply told him all of Wu Di's analysis at that time.
As soon as he finished speaking, the battle situation on the summit of the forbidden city changed.
From everyone's point of view, Ximen Chuixue's sword aura had already become sluggish. It could not compare to Ye Gucheng's ethereal sword aura.
It was obvious that Ximen Chuixue had already shown signs of defeat.
Moreover, judging from the eyes of the few of them who were martial grandmasters, the outcome would be clear after 20 moves.
However, would Ye Gucheng really do what Wu Jian said?
As the sword light danced in the air, twenty moves passed in the blink of an eye. Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng had already thrust out their final sword.
This sword should have pierced through Gucheng's throat before Ximen Chuixue could stab his chest.
However…
At that moment, Ye Gucheng's sword momentum deviated inexplicably.
Therefore, he was the one who died under Ximen Chuixue's sword.
"Did Patriarch Wu hit the nail on the head? Not the slightest bit worse!"
"Master Wu, you have good taste. As expected of the master of the Wu family's sword tomb! We are ashamed to be inferior to him in terms of eyesight.”
The burly man and the others looked at Wu Jian, impressed by his foresight.
Wu Jian was a little embarrassed to be praised by these people. After all, he was only relaying Wu Di's judgment.
"To tell you the truth, I didn't see through it. Before I left the Wu family's sword tomb, a junior of the Wu family analyzed the situation of Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng.”
Wu Jian said very honestly.
"Wu Family Head, there's no need to be humble."
Everyone did not believe it.
To be able to accurately predict the outcome of this battle based on information without even going to the scene of the battle, and he was still a junior of the Wu family. How could he have such prediction and analysis ability?
"I'm not being humble, but it's the truth.”
Wu Jian emphasized once again very seriously.
"Is that so?"
"Indeed!"
Seeing Wu Jian's attitude, the burly man and the others were sure that Wu Jian was not lying and could not help but be even more shocked.
"Patriarch Wu, it seems that this descendant of your Wu family is very impressive! You have a deep understanding of the Dao of the Sword!"
"That's right. With this insight, you'll definitely be able to make great achievements in the Dao of the Sword in the future.”
"By the way, what's the name of this descendant of the Wu family?”
The burly man and the others asked curiously.
"Wu Di!" Wu Jian replied in a deep voice.
Hearing this name, everyone could not help but laugh. They said to the burly man,
"Brother Dugu, this name is really similar to yours. One seeks defeat, the other is invincible. If the two of you meet in the future, it will definitely be very interesting, hahaha.”
"It's quite fated. If there's a chance in the future, I'll have to meet him.”
The burly man laughed as well.
He was a newly advanced sword grandmaster from the Great Song Dynasty. Dugu Qiubai!
While everyone was talking, the cold-faced Ximen Chuixue carried Ye Gucheng's corpse and descended from the summit of the forbidden city. He walked out without saying a word.
"Stop!"
Cao Zhengchun shouted and blocked Ximen Chuixue's path.
"You can leave, but Ye Gucheng is a traitor. You can't take his body away!”
Ximen Chuixue didn't say anything. He only coldly raised the sword in his hand toward Cao Zhengchun.
His attitude was clear enough. Cao Zhengchun either moved aside or fought!
At this moment, Dugu Qiubai said,
"Eunuch Cao, Ye Gucheng is a martial grandmaster after all. Since he is already dead, why bother with his corpse? He should still give a certain amount of respect to a great grandmaster.”
Immediately after, Wu Jian said,"
"Brother Dugu is right. A man's death is important. Let Ximen Chuixue take Ye Gucheng's body away and bury him properly.”
After Dugu Qiubai and Wu Jian spoke, the other grandmasters who were invited to the Forbidden City to watch the battle also expressed the same intention.
However, Cao Zhengchun did not relent even when faced with the persuasion of several martial grandmasters.
He was only loyal to the Ming Imperial Family.
Cao Zhengchun's attitude naturally displeased the martial grandmasters, and the atmosphere became tense.
On the other hand, Iron-guts Divine Marquis Zhu ignored everything that was happening. He didn't say a word, and no one knew what he was thinking. He allowed Cao Zhengchun to face the pressure of the martial grandmasters alone.
At this tense moment.
A man with four eyebrows quickly ran over, and in his hand was the imperial edict of amnesty issued by the Great Ming Emperor.
The Emperor had given special permission for Ximen Chuixue to take away Ye Gucheng's corpse.
After that, Wu Jian, Dugu Qiubai, and the others all left the Great Ming Imperial Palace.
When everyone was parting ways, Dugu Qiubai suddenly said to Wu Jian,"
"Master Wu, it's better to meet by chance than by chance. The Great Song Dynasty and the Liyang Dynasty are far apart, and it's rare to see each other. However, the Wu family's Sword Tomb is famous in the Liyang Dynasty as a holy land of sword arts. I would like to experience your sword arts, Master Wu.”
"Good!"
Wu Jian agreed without hesitation.
Dugu Qiubai was only a newly promoted Sword Dao Grandmaster in the Song Dynasty, but he was an experienced Sword Dao Grandmaster for many years. Naturally, there was no reason for him to avoid the battle.
"Wu Family Head is straightforward! Then, three days later, at the top of Mount Mang outside the city, they would meet again!”
"Good! See you!"
Soon, Dugu Qiubai and Wu Jian agreed on the exact location and date of the sword competition.
The rest of the people were extremely excited after listening to the conversation between the two. They did not expect that after the battle between Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng on the summit of the forbidden city, there would be another grand event of swordsmanship.
How could he miss such a grand event?
Not only did they have to go and watch the battle, but they also had to immediately inform their relatives and friends of this news and let them watch the battle together.
……
Three days later.
At the top of Mount Mang.
There was a sea of people.
Although the speed of information spreading in this era was not fast, there were already many Jianghu people who had received the news and rushed to the top of Mount Mang.
"Coming, coming."
Amidst the commotion, Wu Jian and Dugu Qiubai appeared almost at the same time.
"Patriarch Wu, please!"
"Brother Dugu, please!"
After Wu Jian and Dugu Qiubai greeted each other, the two of them began to emit a terrifying aura almost at the same time.
This was the terrifying aura of a grandmaster of the sword.
(A new day, please support me with all kinds of data!) Thank you!)
