Remould the Glory of Sword Art

This cold voice rose, surprising many.

Because the speaker was none other than the young lady from the Xu family of Bingzhou, who, after taking her seat, had remained silent till now.

Xu Nianning.

No one expected that Xu Nianning would stand up at this moment.

"Hmm?"

Xie Sheng narrowed his eyes, sizing up the young woman in front of him.

The Xu family from Bingzhou, although not as influential as the Jiangning Xie family... they were still a powerful local force.

This Xu Nianning, he had previously sent out invitations to her, more than once.

All were rejected.

Xie Sheng didn't take it to heart; he knew that, even though the Prince Jiangning's residence showed an "amiable" demeanor to the outside world, not everyone was willing to join this camp.

To step on Xuanyi to rise to power, one had to bear the risk of being disliked.

Only he hadn't expected the Xu family to be one of them.

"Xie Xuanyi advanced to the Cave Heaven Realm at eighteen, achieved Perfect Cave Heaven at twenty-two, became a Yin God at twenty-three, and since then, his status rose like the tide. When he contended for the Sword Dao Leader, many of his peers had not even attained Yin God,"

Xu Nianning asked seriously, "The path of cultivation is like climbing a high mountain, the Dao is endless, how can we determine success or failure based on who is first or last at one moment?"

"So, you think I'm not as good as him?"

Prince Jiangning's face was expressionless as he coldly watched the young woman before him.

The ancient bell, wrapped in Sword Qi, trembled in the hall's sky, emitting thunderous sounds!

"I heard that Tongtian's Law Enforcement, in his early years of cultivating, had only mediocre talent..."

Xu Nianning chuckled softly, looking toward Qi Lie at the front of the hall, saying, "Law Enforcement spent ten years in the Foundation Establishment Realm, another ten years in the Qi-controlling Realm, and thirty years in the Cave Heaven Realm... By the time he became a Yin God, he was nearly sixty years old. Is there truth to this?"

"Indeed it is so."

Qi Lie nodded calmly, his expression composed.

Tongtian's Law Enforcement was not a genius in the traditional sense... His cultivation progressed not quickly, in fact quite slowly.

But such a person eventually became the backbone of the Sword Palace!

"Then, according to what was just said, when you achieved the Cave Heaven Realm, Law Enforcement was still at the Foundation Establishment stage."

Xu Nianning looked at Xie Sheng, mockingly asking, "Dare you say that you are stronger than Law Enforcement?"

Prince Jiangning could only remain silent.

"In terms of pure Sword Dao cultivation talent... His Highness is indeed somewhat stronger."

Just at that moment.

Yue Chenglong bit his lip and stepped forward, recklessly uttering this sentence.

A commotion arose instantly within the hall of Golden Turtle Peak!

In the entire Da Sui Sword Palace, the most revered person was naturally the Sect Leader—

But on Golden Turtle Peak, without a doubt, the first place belonged to Law Enforcement!

"Is that so?"

Achieving her goal, Xu Nianning smiled slightly and said indifferently, "For someone to say these words means some people have thicker skins than I imagined... 'When the water is too clear, there are no fish,' this saying indeed does not lie."

"When the water is too clear, there are no fish..."

Prince Jiangning frowned, not quite understanding the meaning behind Xu Nianning's words.

He merely glanced coldly at Yue Chenglong, who, realizing his misstep, swiftly shut his mouth.

But it was too late.

At this moment, in Golden Turtle Peak, many looked at Xie Sheng with unfriendly eyes.

"How could I compare to Law Enforcement in Sword Dao attainment?"

Prince Jiangning shook his head, calmly stating, "Currently, I'm merely at Perfect Cave Heaven; compared to Law Enforcement, I'm no more than an ant trying to see the sky."

"Good that you know."

Xu Nianning said unabashedly, "Just a mere Cave Heaven, how dare you compare yourself to Xie Xuanyi! Who gave you the courage, could it be that you think being at Perfect Cave Heaven... compared to Xie Xuanyi, you're no longer an ant?!"

When Xie Xuanyi was pursued and hunted in the North Sea years ago, it was said he was but one step away from ascending to Yang God!

The so-called Perfect Cave Heaven?

Compared to him, indeed just an ant!

With that statement,

Prince Jiangning's composure vanished from his face.

The Red Dragon Mark on his brow shone brightly, anger churning within his Heart Lake, forcibly restrained.

Xie Sheng said word by word, "Xu Nianning, what exactly do you want to say?"

Xu Nianning smiled and said, "I just want to say, you are not comparable to Xie Xuanyi... in fact, you are not even qualified to be compared with him!"

With a bang!

A long wail surged out from the ancient bell!

Xie Sheng stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze on Xu Nianning now utterly icy.

Without any movement from him,

The swords absorbed by the great bell shot out instantly, cascading down like rain, aimed at Xu Nianning!

This scene caused an immediate shift in the expressions of everyone in the hall.

"How dare you, insolent fool!"

Especially the Xu family head, who, in the blink of an eye, turned pale as iron, and his Divine Thought swept out—

Yet it wasn't only him who released Divine Thought,

Several Divine Thoughts burst forth, clashing in mid-air, exploding. Some sought to use Divine Thought to block the falling swords... others had different aims and interfered!

But this place was Golden Turtle Peak.

Although Law Enforcement did not intervene... it was impossible that a farce would unfold today.

Just as the sword rain was about to fall, Qi Lie, sitting in the main seat, squinted his eyes. He took out the Sword Qi Decree, ready to use it.

At that moment,

A figure suddenly rose from the direction of the hall door.

The very act of "rising" from this figure caused Qi Lie to abandon the idea of activating the Sword Qi Decree.

In an instant.

Just a brief moment.

Xie Xuanyi moved from the entrance of the great hall to in front of Xu Nianning.

He knew that this young lady from the Xu family of Bingzhou was skilled in the Sword Dao; even if he did not intervene, she would still find a way to resolve this "bell-ringing sword rain" which was noisy yet trivial.

He also knew that today's grand banquet was attended by major figures from all sides; even several Yin Gods were present.

Any one of them could easily shatter this farce.
