"City Lord Nangong, why have you come to my Wu family's sword tomb today?”
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Wu Jian cut to the chase and asked Li Changsheng (Nangong Chunshui) directly.
Although Li Changsheng had long passed the position of Snow Moon City's City Lord to his three disciples, Wu Jian was still used to addressing Li Changsheng as the City Lord.
"There is indeed something I want to discuss with you, Master Wu.”
Li Changsheng pointed at Li Hanyi and told him the purpose of their visit.
"Patriarch Wu, this is my second disciple, Li Han Yi. Her maternal grandfather was the previous owner of the Sword Heart Tomb, Li Su Wang.”
"Recently, my disciple found out that Li Su Wang, who had been missing for many years, is now trapped in the Wu family's sword tomb. Therefore, he begged me to come out and discuss with the Wu family's head, asking the Wu family's head to let Li Su Wang leave and reunite with my disciple.”
"Senior Wu, please grant my wish. I am eternally grateful!”
At this moment, Li Han Yi also stood up and bowed to Wu Jian.
After listening to the two of them, Wu Jian was silent for a moment before he shook his head and replied,"
"City Lord Nangong, I cannot agree to this.”
"Many years ago, Prince Li Su came to my Wu Clan to ask for sword arts, but in the end he lost. According to the rules of the Wu family's sword tomb, if you are not as skilled as me, you will be my sword slave for the rest of your life and will not be able to leave.”
Hearing Wu Jian's rejection, Li Hanyi's expression changed. He was about to speak, but Li Changsheng stopped him.
Then, Li Changsheng calmly asked Wu Jian,"
"Then according to the rules of the Wu Clan's Sword Tomb, does that mean that as long as I challenge the Wu Clan and defeat the Wu Clan's head, I can take away Li Su Wang?”
Wu Jian shook his head and said,"
"No!"
"That's a separate matter. City Lord Nangong has succeeded in the sword inquiry. According to the rules, you can take any sword from my Wu family's sword mountain, but you can't take my Wu family's sword slaves.”
"Then what if I insist on taking it away? Master Wu should know that with your Wu family's current strength, no one can stop me.”
Li Changsheng said calmly.
He wasn't threatening Wu Jian, but stating a fact.
The strongest person in the Wu family's sword tomb was only Wu Jian, who was at the peak of the martial grandmaster realm. On the other hand, Li Changsheng was a supreme expert who had stepped into the land immortal realm for many years.
If Li Changsheng really wanted to make a move, no one in the Wu family's sword tomb could match him.
Hearing this, Wu Jian also replied very calmly,"
"If City Lord Nangong wants to make a move, then my Wu family will naturally accompany you.”
"I can guarantee that City Lord Nangong won't be able to take Prince Li Su away unless he has the ability to kill everyone in our Wu Clan.”
Wu Jian was not threatening Li Changsheng. He was also stating a fact.
The swordsman of the Wu family would rather break than bend.
The swordsmen of the Wu family would use their swords and lives to uphold the rules of the Wu family.
If Li Changsheng really decided to take things head-on, the Wu Clan would definitely fight to the death. Of course, he would arrange for Wu Di to leave first during this process.
However, based on Wu Jian's understanding of Li Changsheng's style of doing things, he judged that it was unlikely that this person would use his strength to bully him.
As expected, after seeing Wu Jian's attitude, Li Changsheng began to ponder.
It was not that the Wu family's strength made him afraid, but the Wu family was indeed standing on the right path.
The whole world knew about this rule of the Wu clan.
Prince Li Su had come to the Wu Clan to ask for sword techniques of his own accord. If he lost, he would have to pay a corresponding price. This was very reasonable.
Therefore, it would be best if the Wu Clan was willing to break the rules for him, a Land Deity. If they were not willing, Li Changsheng could not find a good excuse.
Of course, if it was someone else who was unreasonable, he would not hesitate like Li Changsheng and would definitely make a move.
However, Li Changsheng was not that kind of person.
After pondering for a moment, Li Changsheng said to Wu Jian,"
"Patriarch Wu, I heard that your Wu family has another rule: The length of the sword qi determined the size of the principle.”
"How about this? This time, we'll use our sword techniques to decide.”
"It's not considered a sword inquiry. It's just a bet between me and the Wu family head.”
"What are the details of the bet? It couldn't be City Lord Nangong, right? Our Wu family doesn't have a Land Immortal on the same level as City Lord Nangong.”
Wu Jian said directly.
Li Changsheng pointed at Li Hanyi and replied,"
"The contents of the bet are very simple."
"This disciple of mine is Rank-1. If your Wu Clan sends someone of the same realm to compete with my disciple, as long as you can defeat her and take away King Li Su, we'll forget about it. Moreover, I owe your Wu family a favor. As long as it doesn't violate morality, I can help your Wu family once.”
"However, if your Wu Clan loses, then hand over Li Su Wang to us.”
"How is it?"
"I believe that with the Wu family's status as a holy land of the sword, they shouldn't be afraid of challenges, right?”
Li Changsheng deliberately provoked Wu Jian.
For so many years, the Wu family's Sword Tomb's status in the martial world had been declining year by year. He had never heard of any geniuses. On the other hand, his disciple, Li Hanyi, was very talented in the sword. He rarely met opponents in the same realm. He was worried that Wu Jian would not dare to accept this bet.
Then, Li Han Yi said,"
"Senior Wu, if you don't feel confident, we can have a few more rounds. As long as it's someone of the same cultivation level as me, I'll accept it.”
Wu Jian naturally knew that this master and disciple pair were deliberately provoking him, but…
"Since City Lord Nangong has already said so, my Wu family will naturally agree.”
Wu Jian smiled in his heart and replied.
Snow Moon City's Second Lord, Li Han Yi, was a rising star in the martial world, but compared to the Wu Family's representative, he was far from it.
Therefore, Wu Jian felt that the bet that Li Changsheng had proposed was without a doubt.
Why didn't he agree to a bet that he was sure to win?
Li Changsheng was considered one of the strongest among the Land Immortals. A favor from him was very valuable.
"Since Patriarch Wu is so straightforward, then this matter is settled!”
Li Changsheng said with a smile.
Beside him, Li Han Yi's face also showed a trace of joy.
It was good that he agreed. She was afraid that Wu Jian would not dare to agree.
She had absolute confidence in winning against those of the same rank.
"Good! It's a deal!"
Opposite them, Wu Jian looked at Li Changsheng and his disciple with a smile on his face.
How could this master and disciple know that their Wu family already had an unprecedented peerless sword genius?
He was about to get a free favor from a land immortal, so he was naturally very happy.
Following that, Wu Jian led Li Changsheng and his disciple to the Wu Clan's Martial Arts Practice Square while he ordered someone to inform Wu Di.
……
"A sword duel with Snow Moon City's Second Lord Li Han Yi?”
After receiving the message sent by Wu Jian, Wu Di thought for a moment and agreed to this matter.
Li Hanyi was the famous Sword Immortal Xue Yue, and his talent in the Way of the Sword was not bad. Wu Di felt that he was an opponent worthy of sparring with.
After that, Wu Di said something to Kuwako who was practicing her swordsmanship, then went out to the Wu Family's Martial Arts Practice Square.
