Emperor’s Domination

our city’s creed for you to be the dao protector of Fellow Daoist Li.”

Listeners exchanged glances right away.

“Ah, so is Hallowed City Lord acting as Li Qiye’s dao protector? Does he want to become a dao lord?” One expert asked.

This was the only explanation for the lord to be around Li Qiye.

“One should venture out and experience many things in life.” The city lord smiled and said: “Of course, Sword Continent will be in a better state if you two would be kind enough to yield.”

“Brother Hallowed, this is a serious issue.
The existence of this sword can start a war after one wrong move.” Vastsea responded.

This wasn’t incorrect since if the matter of Myriad Era didn’t have a satisfactory conclusion here, it might actually start a bloody competition.

“That’s too early to say, but your sect already has two heavenly swords.
Is there a need to get a third?” Hallowed answered.

The two overlords exchanged glances, aware that Hallowed City Lord wasn’t going to back down.

“Your sword dao is flawless but I don’t think you alone can make decisions here.” Vastsea Venerable said.

“Then count me in.
Being able to fight an overlord is the blessing of a lifetime.” Tie Jian appeared next to the city lord; his voice was rather charismatic. 

“Another?” This was a surprising development for the crowd.

“He has to be another big shot, right?” One of them asked.

“I don’t recognize him, I have no idea who he is.” Someone nearby shook her head.

This was the case for the mass.
They simply didn’t know who Tie Jian was.

“Young Ancestor.” The sect master of Daoist Sword Ground actually recognized him and bowed deeply.

“An ancestor?” Others became startled.

“I left the sword ground years ago, I’m not a member of your sect.” Tie Jian’s attitude was rather strange.

Ling Jian’s mouth opened but no words came out.
He eventually let out a sigh and kept quiet.

“I remember the day vividly when I visited the sword ground, you were only eighteen yet still sparred with War God.” The vajra spoke: “He said that your cultivation would certainly surpass him in the future.”

Listeners couldn’t believe it.
This guy fought against War God when he was only eighteen? 

“I’ve let First Brother down, my cultivation is not a match for his.” Tie Jian took a deep breath and said.

“Though you left the sword ground, he still gave you his legacy before death.” Vastsea added.

“What?!” Some gasped and became emotional.

War God chose to leave his legacy to someone who had left the sect? Just how much hope did he place in Tie Jian?

Ling Jian himself knew very little about Tie Jian, only that the guy was the most talented during that era, not War God.
Keep in mind that War God was a supreme genius back then yet Tie Jian was still one level higher?
