Chapter 867 A Battle Of Pride


    Mount Kushburn was a pragmatic ce. No one would bother about a minor character at the Energy


    Cultivation Stage.


    Originally, Emrys had intended to keep a low profile. He wanted to try his luck at Sword King Mountain


    by using Wyatt’s sword statutte. Regardless of whether he gained anything. he had nned to leave


    discreetly on the same day.


    He did not expect to obtain a hint from Azure King’s will when he arrived at Sword King Mountain. In


    the end, he even managed to seize the Sword King’s inheritance.


    What surprised him even more was how Ruben announced that he would rebuild the Sword King Sect


    and be the new sect leader.


    Ruben had good intentions, but his actions undeniably pushed Emrys into the eye of the storm. The


    attitudes of Devon and Caden betrayed their hostility.


    Therefore, Emrys had no choice but to adjust his ns and conceal his aura again.


    Although being at the Foundation Stage was not particrly impressive, it would prevent others from


    viewing him as a loser. Otherwise, anyone would feel indignant that a loser at the Energy Cultivation


    Stage could obtain the Sword King’s inheritance.


    After Emrys used the Soul Cloak Stone, he disguised his aura to be at the Foundation Stage. To


    others, it appeared as if he had naturally advanced. No one would suspect that he was using a magical


    treasure like the Soul Cloak Stone.


    Buzz!


    The spirit energy fluctuating around him gathered at his elixir field.


    Emrys‘ act was thorough. After wrapping up the final details, he got up and headed toward the


    courtyard gate.


    At that moment, only the guard remained at the gate. Ruben and the messenger had already rushed off


    to the sword training hall.


    Feigning ignorance, Emrys asked, “Did I just hear Mr. Ruben’s voice?”


    The guard was still dumbstruck by Emrys’s exceptional talent in swordsmanship. After hearing Emrys‘


    question, he replied, “Mr. Ruben dide. However, after seeing that you’re focusing on your


    breakthrough, he chose not to disturb you.”

    Emrys nodded and asked, “Where is Mr. Ruben now?”


    “He’s at the sword training hall. Apparently, Mr. Peter got into a fight with a fanatic from the Origin


    Sword Sect. Sensing that something was amiss, Mr. Ruben hurried over.”


    “Thank you!”


    Not saying anything else, Emrys immediately rushed off.


    The sword training hall was a shared space among the Three Sword Sects, just like the Sword King


    Mountain. There, the Three Sword Sects would typically hold their friendly


    spars.


    The mentees from the Three Sword Sects would fight against each other in private there


    too.


    At that moment, the sword training hall was filled with mentees from the sword sects.


    They were engrossed in watching the battle that was unfolding between Peter and Killian.


    Both of them were renowned figures who were talented in swordsmanship. Their rivalry was akin to the


    ultimate showdown between the younger generations of the Two Sword


    Sects.


    Therefore, every time they crossed paths, it would spark widespread attention.


    The mentees of the Origin Sword Sect and the Soul Sword Sect were particrly excited. They waved


    their gs, cheering and rallying with fervor.

    To a certain extent, the two of them represented the Two Sword Sects.


    Peter had repeatedly suffered defeat at the hands of Killian, much to the dismay of his fellow mentees


    at the Soul Sword Sect. However, this time was different. Peter had recently disyed his


    swordsmanship to everyone, revealing that he had broken through to the master level.


    His strength had undoubtedly increased.


    Therefore, this battle between the two was more captivating than any of their previous fights.


    The mentees of the Soul Sword Sect were desperately hoping that Peter could avenge these past


    insults and vent out all their frustrations.


    2/3


    Meanwhile, the mentees of the Origin Sword Sect were suspecting that Peter was the Sword King’s


    inheritor. Thus, they hoped that Killian would defeat Peter, demonstrating to the Soul Sword Sect that


    even if Peter had the Sword King’s inheritance, he would still be ruthlessly dominated by Killian.


    The tension between both sides was palpable,


    In the bustling sword training hall, Peter and Killian had been dueling for quite some time. The mentees


    from the three sects were clearly emotionally invested.


    The Soul Sword Sect’s mentees initially watched the contest with anticipation, hoping that they could


    vent their pent–up frustration.
