The Venerable Swordsman

Chapter 163 The Twelve Gold Man!

Canglan College!

Under Jiyun Mountain, Ye Xuan looked blankly at the scene in front of him.

At the moment, there were so many people gathered under Jiyun Mountain. These people stood at the mountain foot, looking up with eyes full of expectations.

Ye Xuan walked to a man. “Brother, what are you waiting for?”

The man glanced at Ye Xuan. “You don’t know?”

Ye Xuan shook his head. “Please let me know!”

The man said, “National Warrior Ye, Ye Xuan, is coming back!”

Ye Xuan: “...”

The man was a little excited. “It is said that he will return to Canglan College today. Therefore, we’re waiting here. We’ve already been waiting here since dawn.”

Ye Xuan was stunned for a while and then said, “The other people here are all waiting for him?”

The man nodded. “Yes. Some people in the front are even crazier. They came here before dawn.”

Ye Xuan asked again, “How do you know that he is coming back today?”

The man smiled and said, “Words spread around in the Imperial Capital!”

Ye Xuan shook his head. Probably, Jiang Jiu informed Jiang Country’s king, and then the king spread the words.

This was nothing. Not a big deal!

Ye Xuan patted the man’s shoulder gently. “Ye Xuan is just an ordinary person. There is nothing to watch. Go back and...”

“Shut the fuck up!”

The man suddenly became angry. “National Warrior Ye is not an ordinary person! He is the National Warrior of Jiang Country and the sword cultivator of Jiang Country! How dare you insult him!”

After that, he actually rushed and punched at Ye Xuan!

Insult him?

Ye Xuan was a little stunned. What had he said?

Seeing the man’s fist was coming, Ye Xuan tipped his toes lightly on the ground as he retreated a dozen meters.

The man was suddenly stunned as his punched failed.

At this time, some people around looked over.

Ye Xuan was about to say something when a teenager suddenly pointed at Ye Xuan. “I just heard that he insulted National Warrior Ye!”

Ye Xuan: “...”

Hearing the boy, some people in the field suddenly looked at Ye Xuan. They did not hide their anger in their eyes.

Ye Xuan!

This name was not sacred, but it could not be offended in Jiang Country people’s heart.

What Ye Xuan did in Tang Country had been spread throughout the Jiang Country. Even An Lanxiu’s fame back in the days was far lower than his current fame.

This was not the point. The point was that Ye Xuan was fighting to protect Jiang Country!

This was the National Warrior of Jiang Country! The sword cultivator of Jiang Country!

Aside, a man suddenly walked to the front of Ye Xuan. He sized up Ye Xuan and said with confusion, “Why are you looking so familiar?”

Ye Xuan was speechless. Looking familiar? How couldn’t it be familiar? Are you not waiting for me?

In fact, it’s normal for these people not to know him because when he was in Jiang Country, his reputation was not so great. Therefore, many people had never seen him. Even if some people had seen him, they might just saw him far away in one look!

Ye Xuan naturally did not want to continue the misunderstanding. He was about to explain when the man attacked him before suddenly said, “This person has a sneaky look. He is not a good person at first glance. Let’s just beat him first!”

Ye Xuan was speechless. Sneaky look? Damn. He had no eyes! Even if that man wanted to beat him, couldn’t that man find another reason?

At this moment, a sudden exclamation sounded in the field. “It’s Ye Xin!”

Soon, everyone split to both sides. A woman came from afar. The woman was young and petite, wearing a dark green skirt. She had a small braid behind her head. She walked through the crowd as the little braid swayed gently, which looked sweet and lovely.

Ye Xin!

She was now a little famous in the college and Imperial Capital. Because her ranks in all aspects were at the front among the students. Most importantly, she was the youngest of all the students in the college. Therefore, she was the most favored in the college.

Ye Xin glanced at the people in front of her. “Why are you clamoring here?”

At this time, the man who had attacked Ye Xuan said quickly, “Miss Ye, someone insulted National Warrior Ye.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Xin’s face immediately turned cold. “Who?”

The man pointed at Ye Xuan not far away, and everyone quickly stepped aside. When Ye Xin saw Ye Xuan along the man’s finger, she was suddenly stunned.

Ye Xuan walked to Ye Xin and smiled. “What, don’t you recognize me?”

Ye Xin came to her senses and tightly clasped her dress. She said nervously, “Cous... Dean...”

Dean!

Upon hearing the word, the place suddenly quieted.

On the side, the young man who wanted to beat Ye Xuan sat on the ground directly. He was a bit blank. “Who am I? What have I done?”

Everyone: “...”

Ye Xuan looked around and smiled. “Thank you for your warmth. Now, you have seen what I look like. I am just an ordinary person. There is nothing special about me. Everyone, you can go home.”

After that, he turned to face Ye Xin. “Return to the college!”

Ye Xin nodded quickly and then stood behind Ye Xuan.

Soon, Ye Xuan and Ye Xin disappeared in the eyes of everyone.

On the side, the man sitting on the ground still looked blank... Just now, he wanted to beat Ye Xuan!

...

In front of Canglan Hall.

Ye Xuan stopped. Not far from him, it was Ji Anzhi.

Ji Anzhi walked to Ye Xuan and whispered, “You’re back!”

Ye Xuan nodded. “Is everything okay?”

Ji Anzhi nodded slightly. “Yes!”

Ye Xuan said, “Assemble all the students.”

Ji Anzhi glanced at Ye Xuan and then turned and left.

In less than 15 minutes, all the students gathered in front of Canglan Hall.

Looking at Ye Xuan on the stage, there were excitement and admiration in their eyes.

The status of Canglan College was now very high in Jiang Country. Every Jiang Country’s people respected Canglan College from the heart. Now, everyone in Jiang Country was proud of being a student of Canglan College!

And all of these credited to Ye Xuan!

Ji Anzhi and Bai Ze stood on both sides of Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan took a step forward and glanced around. There were forty-two students in the field. Among them, there were 21 Ascending Realm students and, surprisingly, nine Secluding Realm students. The rest were at Qi Harnessing Realm.

Ye Xuan thought for a while and then said, “You should have known that Chu Country and the Dayun Empire are coming at us. Outside Kaiyang City, there are 100,000 Chu Country’s iron calvaries, including soldiers from the Dayun Empire. If the Kaiyang City is broken through, Chu Country’s iron calvaries will have no obstruction and go all the way south. Countless people in Jiang Country will die under their iron calvaries.”

He gradually raised his voice. “I come back this time to ask you. Would you like to go to Kaiyang City with me and swear to protect our Jiang Country?”

Join the army?

Suddenly, it became quiet in the field.

Obviously, they did not expect that Ye Xuan would ask them to join the army.

Ye Xuan said lightly, “If the city is lost, Jiang Country would be gone. How can our Canglan College be spared? Of course, if you don’t want to go, I won’t force you.”

At this time, Ye Xin, who was on the side, suddenly stepped forth. “I am willing to go to Kaiyang City.”

Soon, more and more people in the field stepped forth...

When seeing everyone expressing their willingness to go to Kaiyang City, Ye Xuan was somewhat gratified. He said lightly, “Do you know that most of you might not come back?!”

In front of Ye Xuan, a man grinned. “Dean, you risked your life in Kaiyang City for Jiang Country. How can we be afraid of death? We will fight side by side with the Dean. We can’t disgrace the Dean.”

“Correct! We are willing to die with the Dean!”

“I disagree!”

Just then, a cold voice suddenly came from the side.

Ye Xuan turned his head and looked over. Not far away, two people walked over quickly. He naturally knew them, because they were the two bachelors he invited here.

Mo Yuan quickly walked to Ye Xuan. He looked directly at Ye Xuan. “You might have not thought about this. Although they are not low in realms, they lack practical fighting experience. If you bring them to the battlefield, many of them will die.”

Ye Xuan calmly said, “That’s exactly the reason why they need to go there.”

Mo Yuan said in a deep voice, “You are pulling up seedling in a mistaken hope of helping it to grow. Do you know that you have put much effort to raise them? They may die after you take them to the battlefield. All your painstaking efforts, as well as the will of Old Ji, will be turned into nothing. You...”

Ye Xuan shook his head and interrupted Mo Yuan. “If the country is gone, how can the students be safe? We are the students of Canglan College, but first, we are Jiang Country’s people. We are not superior. We are equally responsible to protect this country.”

Mo Yuan looked at Ye Xuan and did not speak.

Ye Xuan said, “I don’t want my students to be a group of sheep in a pen. They have to go out and feel the cruelty of war. For them, this is also a practice. Otherwise, when the college was in crisis one day, they won’t even have the ability to fight.”

After seeing talents from the Central Divine Continent, such as Ling Han and Lu Kuang, he realized something.

If one only cultivated at home and didn’t go out for a trip to train himself, he would be a waste even if he cultivated for a lifetime!

Was the strength of Ling Han and members of the Ninth Mercenary Troop cultivated?

No!

They fought for it! They had experienced countless life and death battles, and that’s why they had that level of strength!

If the students of Canglan College did not go out and fight others, they would not be able to compare with those talents from the Central Divine Continent in their lifetimes.

A piece of iron would never become a sharp sword if it’s not tempered for a thousand times!

Mo Yuan looked at Ye Xuan for a long time, and gradually, his look turned soft. “Follow me.”

Ye Xuan was a bit confused because he found that Mo Yuan and Feng Lan were somewhat mysterious.

Ye Xuan did not think much and followed.

The three people came to the back of the mountain. Mo Yuan stopped and turned to look at Ye Xuan. He opened his hand as a box appeared in his hand.

Ye Xuan was confused. “This is?”

Mo Yuan opened the box, and there were twelve small gold people in the box. Each gold man held a golden spear in his hand!

Mo Yuan looked at Ye Xuan. “The Twelve Gold Man. Once upon a time, a stunningly talented emperor collected the pure gold from all over the world and crafted this. Every gold man had a formation inside. Pushed with Spiritual Qi, the gold man will be activated, and they can hold the world in awe. However, they have been heavily damaged, so their intelligence was impaired. Each man’s strength is only equivalent to that of a God-allied Realm expert. Moreover, because the formation was damaged, activating it takes a large amount of Supreme Spiritual Stones.”

Ye Xuan said in a deep voice, “How powerful is this?”

Mo Yuan gently lifted his right hand. In the box, a gold man suddenly turned into a golden light and fell to the side. At this moment, this little gold man had become a big gold man, much taller and stronger than Ye Xuan!

Mo Yuan said lightly, “Try him!”

Ye Xuan pointed with his finger as a row of sword radiance suddenly hit the gold man.

The gold man did not move. As the sword thrust out, there was no trace at all!

Ye Xuan’s face changed. His sword was a Genuine Sword!

After a while, Ye Xuan faced Mo Yuan and said, “Conditions.”

Mo Yuan looked directly at Ye Xuan. “Join my Confucianism and become a spokesperson for Confucianism. If you want, the Confucianism will support you with full effort.”
