Meanwhile,
Inside Heaven's End Valley.
"Elder Gu, has he left?"
In a quiet courtyard, Jian Wuheng asked, his expression calm.
"He's gone. It seems he had urgent matters to attend to. He mentioned it to me and left."
"What? Don't tell me you still want to cross swords with him?"
"Forget it. You're a Soul Emergence Ninth Layer expert, and from the previous generation at that. Challenging a junior at the Soul Emergence Seventh Layer... there's nothing to gain from winning, and losing would only make his name for him."
Gu Xuanqing said, his brow furrowed slightly.
He understood the competitive spirit of a genius.
After all, in his youth,
he too was a genius,
and had his own moments of youthful arrogance.
But given Jian Wuheng's status and power, it was truly unsuitable.
As a cultivator at the Soul Emergence Ninth Layer,
Jian Wuheng was the face of the Ancient Sword Sect,
and the most likely candidate to become the sect's next Divine Travel Realm expert.
