Tang Tian stood there as though he did not hear anything.
(TN: previously Ba Fu asked who was it. LOL)
A person who was the third in ce in session, interesting. That was why Tang Tian decided to make his move.
Almost every Constetion Master would appoint a few sessors. Fighting openly and maneuvering discreetly wasmon, but to every constetion, ensuring the continuance of the inheritance of the Constetion was forever the most important.
Because the selected few sessors were usually young people, how their future turned out, even the brilliant Masters could not guarantee that their vision was not biased. They would select a few, and pick the best candidate out of the few, that was how many constetions worked. The fights between the candidates were happily observed by the Masters. If they liked one of them, they naturally would not care about the rest, but at the same time, if under their care, the candidate could not fight with the rest, then they would have to drop the candidate.
Other than needing to receive the approval from the powerful and authoritative families in the constetion, they still are required to receive the approval from the saint treasures. Only by receiving the saint treasure’s approval, could the inheritance of the constetion be passed down.
Out of the two conditions, the real important one was thetter one.
Third ce was already a rather high position, which meant, if anything happened to the first two, or if their growth in the future was not as expected, the power could possibly be given to the golden haireddy in front of Tang Tian.
Usually, these sort of people held high positions in their own constetion. Third ce, meant that her power and talent, was rather outstanding, where only 2 other people were better than her. For strong constetions such like the constetions of the 12 Ecliptic Pces, the top 10 sessors would usually be protected. For smaller constetions, the first five sessors would be viewed as important and deemed to be protected.
The world was full of idents, and the five sessors were just to safeguard that the inheritance could be passed on, but the difference between each position of sessor, insinuated extreme difference in individual strength. The Constetion Master’s strength, to any constetion, is the most important. If the new Master’s strength dropped, the Constetion’s strength would drop as well.
That was something none of the Constetion Masters would want to see.
Third position sessor, to be married to Qiu Shan’s subordinate? Unless he personally witnessed it, Tang Tian would never believe it. Qiu Shan was the third ranker in the youth generation of Honorable Martial Group, his potential was huge, but in Honorable Martial Group, Qiu Shan was hardly an important character.
In all reality, his position was the same as Angelina, one of the candidates for sessor-ship.
If a sessor was able to sweep the position in one move, then he naturally held the power of Heaven and Earth. But there was only one throne, and the remaining sessors naturally would have no other choice but to bleakly ept their end. The position of sessor was highly revered and protected, but did not always hold power and authority.
Because of family reasons, Qiu Shan was raised to be independent. The difference between him and the true high ranking elders of Honorable Martial Group, and it was a huge disparity. Their connections, experience and strength were iparable. In peaceful times, for the new young brilliant generation to want to hold true power, they too needed to endure step by step.
Andromeda Constetion was a constetion of the Northern Sky,paring in Heaven’s Road, it was just a deste feudal state in the wilderness.
No matter how small a feudal state, it was still a feudal state.
Honorable Martial Group’s military force could naturally crush Andromeda Constetion, but it would not do so. No matter how small the state was, they would rope them in. Such reckless humiliation, would not do any good to Honorable Martial Group, and would only anger the small feudal states.
If the situation was normal, then there would be no problems.
But it was obvious, everything that was happening in front of them was definitely not normal.
Although all these people were listening to the Master of Andromeda Constetion, but Tang Tian did not believe it at all. A Constetion Master had honor and a bottom line, unless it reached the point of threatening the life of the constetion, he would definitely not use his sessors as bargaining chips for deals.
The unusual scene, actually divulged a lot of information.
Either Andromeda was already on the edge of a desperate situation, if not, all these people were not listening to the Master’s order at all. Regardless of which it was, there was definitely foul y involved.
Wasn’t Honorable Group currently at a stalemate with Leo Constetion? Why would they have leftover peopleing here to mess around....
In that few moments, Tang Tian already sorted out from all the information he had gathered, and saw the faintly discernible vortex.
The only problem was whether the Andromeda Constetion was worth it for him to make a move? There was not a bit of disturbance in his mind, he was extremely calm. After nning and weighing the pros and cons, he then realized something special about Andromeda Constetion.
Andromeda Constetion was one of Northern Sky’s 19 Continent’s powerful traditional constetions. The saint treasure of Andromeda Constetion only recognized females, so all the Masters were females. Andromeda Constetion’s saint treasure was called the [Fairy Hoop], and it’s power was not considered the strongestpared to the other saint treasures. But because it’s session was extremely stable, and all the generation of masters were all rtively steady, umting from generation to the next, it became one of the strongest constetions in Northern Sky.
Andromeda Constetion’sw and order was the best in Northern Sky, and the citizens all lived extremely stable lives, and every generation’s Master were all supported greatly by her people.
Andromeda Constetion was not the strongest in Northern Sky, but was the most abundant and plentiful Constetion, for every generation of operations and umtions, allowed them to possess extremely profound connections in Northern Sky. And Andromeda Constetion had never attacked other constetions in all of history, and in every generation, the Master of Andromeda Constetion was the model for being the neutral faction, and received the most public praise in Northern Sky’s 19 continents.
So in Northern Sky, there existed small constetions that followed Andromeda Constetion.
That was an opportunity.
Without any hesitation, Tang Tian realized that and immediately took action.
But the sword that cut Ba Fu’s palm, caught him by surprise. What caused people to be taken aback was that Tang Tian did not take the chance to strike, but stood quietly in front of Angelina.
Angelina waspletely terrified, the sword was like a snake, and made her lose all her courage. As the third in line to seed Andromeda Constetion, she was not a spoiled girl who was always kept in safety. She was someone with battle experience, and had killed many enemies. Even when facing the fierce Ba Fu, she did not cower back at all.
But she had never seen a sword technique that was filled with such dark Qi.
It should not be able to exist under the light, and should have cut the enemy’s throats from the darkness, quietly.
She was not a weakling, and worked hard to control the fear in her heart, and not let it spread.
Calm down.... Calm down... Angelina, you can do it!
She continued to console herself in her mind, and finally her Qi calmed down. The fear in her mind creeping away. She gathered her courage, and meticulously sized up the man in front of her.
Night.
That was the only phrase Angelina could think of, looking at the man in front of her who waspletely covered in ck mes. He was tall, but not bulky, and was well proportioned, standing straight, as straight as a spear.
This made Angelina feel strange, in her impression, all the swordsmen who walked in the dark, like to constantly bend their back, and always in a state of being cautious. They did their best to prevent people from finding out about them, but the person in front of her was not.
He stood there straight up with his sword, not saying a word, not trying to hide himself.
Behind him, Angelina could clearly feel calmness that was naturally leaking out of him. Was it absolute self confidence?
Her heart was filled with some hope, but she intelligently kept quiet. She did not know him, so she kept quiet, the less words the better. By speaking out in anger to the opponent might turn things for the worse instead.
“Can I ask who are you?” Zou Ning’s expression was calm, but his eyes looked treacherous.
“Qiu Shan’s ambitious heart is too big.” The hoarse voice came out from the ck me cape, his voice, was extremely cold.
Zou Ning could feel the danger, his body was slightly bent, squinting his eyes and staring at Tang TIan, he said coldly: “Who are you?”
The opponent’s words, had subtle meaning pointing out to certain things, but Zou Ning was a cautious person, and was extremely careful.
“I’ll kill you!”
Ba Fu’s fierce voice, he could no longer tolerate it, his right palm was bleeding profusely. Tang Tian’s sword, had pierced deep into his hand. What made him even more scared was, a thread of gentle and soft True Power had entered his palm. And no matter how he tried to urge his True Power, he was unable to push the swift True power out of his body.
That was because of the strange True Power was doing something to him, and causing the blood to keep flowing.
“Ba Fu, Master is disappointed in you.” Suddenly, a cold voice came out from behind the ck mes.
Master.....
Ba Fu’s body froze, his eyes full of shock.
Don’t tell me.....
“General Ba! Don’t get tricked!” Zou Ning anxiously shouted.
Behind the ck mes mask, the calm face exposed a small arc. Ba Fu’s expression had given Tang Tian the answers he needed.
The reason he had stayed in his spot for so long, was to find out more information from the opponent.
And he got it.
“Kill him!” Ba Fu suddenly realized, and ordered fiercely.
The surrounding guards seemed to be awakened from a dream, and all roared in unison as they all pounced onto Tang Tian. Then, the unthinkable happened. The rapier swordsman and Angelina who were surrounded, had disappeared.
“Don’t think of escaping!”
Zou Ning’s roar resonated out. Only after Tang TIan disappeared did he realize it. A ray of silver light, like a silver snake rushing out of its cave, shot out.
Ding!
The thin rapier urately pierced his silver whip.
A wave of strange True Power entered Zou Ning’s body through the silver whip, causing his face to change. He released a strange sound, released his grip on the whip and his entire person retreated backwards.
Bang!
[Bootes Whip], a Bootes Constetion star weapon, was actually turned into dust by the opponent’s de!
All the martial artist around who witnessed were shocked, all of them who were initially nning to give chase all retreated. Ba Fu who was rushing to Zou Ning had his legs stuck to the ground, he looked up, his face beyond appalled.
He had seen Zou Ning’s Bootes Whip for the past few days, Bootes Constetion was just a northern sky grade weapon, but the Bootes Whip was a rarely seen star weapon. Zou Ning had spent countless amounts of time to be extremely adept with it, and using Honorable Martial Group’s secret techniques to continuously temper it. After a long and drawn out period, it had finally began to have a golden luster.
With another two or three years of time, it couldpletely truly transform into a gold rank star treasure.
Such a powerful star treasure, to actually be dust by a sword.
To what extent, was the might of the sword?
No one dared to move, as they stared at the person carrying Angelina, as though he was leisurely walking, disappearing from their vision.
