Invincible Starting From the Nine Dragons Technique

Chapter 304: A Martial Contest for Entertainment

Lujiang Qu lowered his voice. "To be more precise, it’s a priceless treasure passed down by a Martial Emperor."

Yang Bo nodded slightly.

Whether it was the legacy itself or a priceless treasure, anything from a Martial Emperor was of immeasurable value. Everyone would covet it.

Sun Cultivator’s visit was likely for this very treasure.

Yang Bo said, "Don’t worry, Sect Leader Lu. With Elder Su here, Sun Cultivator won’t dare cause trouble—unless he has a death wish."

"Oh?"

Lujiang Qu’s eyes lit up.

’That’s right!’

’Since Su Mo’s power is unfathomable, he could easily deal with Sun Cultivator. There’s no need for me to worry at all.’

At this thought, Lujiang Qu ordered, "Elder Wen, go invite Sun Cultivator up here. Tell him Elder Su wishes to see him."

"Yes!" Elder Wen replied.

Soon, Elder Wen returned to the main hall with a middle-aged man, who was none other than Lujiang Qu’s sworn enemy, Sun Cultivator.

Additionally, Sun Cultivator was accompanied by an impressive-looking young man.

"Brother Sun, it’s been a hundred years. I trust you’ve been well!" Lujiang Qu said with a welcoming smile.

Sun Cultivator glanced at Lujiang Qu and asked coldly, "Are we that close?"

Lujiang Qu gave a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. "Brother Sun, you’re mistaken. A hundred years ago in Emperor Heaven Valley, we shared a life-and-death bond."

"Emperor Heaven Valley?"

Veins bulged on Sun Cultivator’s forehead as if he were recalling some unpleasant memories. He said angrily, "Lu, don’t act all innocent after you’ve already won. If you hadn’t tricked me a hundred years ago, that priceless treasure would be mine!"

"Tricked you? It was clearly your own stupidity that caused you to miss out on the treasure and let it fall into my hands," Lujiang Qu said coolly.

"You..."

Sun Cultivator’s face turned ashen, and he looked ready to attack.

Yang Bo stepped in to mediate. "Gentlemen, let’s talk this out. Today is Elder Su’s birthday celebration. We shouldn’t do anything to displease him."

"Elder Su..."

Sun Cultivator’s eyelids twitched.

He had heard that the Giant Sword Sect was holding a birthday celebration for Elder Su. With rebellion already brewing among the factions, he had risked coming to the Giant Sword Sect to ascertain the truth of the matter.

Sun Cultivator asked, "Which one is Elder Su?"

"The one in the seat of honor!" Lujiang Qu answered truthfully.

Sun Cultivator looked towards the seat of honor, then his brow furrowed. "Lujiang Qu, are you trying to trick me again?"

In the seat of honor sat a young man.

’Where’s any Elder Su?’

Lujiang Qu said in a hushed voice, "Brother Sun, you mustn’t underestimate Elder Su. He may look young, but his power is unfathomable."

"Do you think I’d believe you?" Sun Cultivator sneered.

Lujiang Qu said indifferently, "If you don’t believe me, you can ask Brother Yang."

Yang Bo nodded emphatically.

’He had planned to rebel, too. But after witnessing Su Mo kill Old Monster Feng, he was now sitting here, perfectly behaved.’

’That scene... it was too terrifying.’

’An expert at the Mid Stage Martial Emperor Realm, killed with a single poke of a finger. I’m just a newly ascended Early Stage Martial Emperor. A sneeze from that guy could probably kill me.’

"You’re really not tricking me?" Sun Cultivator asked, unconvinced.

Lujiang Qu pointed to the heavens. "I can swear an oath to the Celestial Dao. If I’ve spoken half a lie, may I be struck by lightning and suffer a terrible death."

"This..."

Sun Cultivator hesitated.

Lujiang Qu said coolly, "Brother Sun, you and I are mortal enemies. Now you’ve come to my Giant Sword Sect’s territory. Do you know why I haven’t called my men to surround and kill you?"

"Why?" Sun Cultivator asked, confused.

Lujiang Qu said bluntly, "It’s because I don’t want to cause trouble in front of Elder Su. Otherwise, you should know what methods I would use against you."

Sun Cultivator’s heart sank.

Lujiang Qu continued, "For Elder Su’s sake, I will temporarily set aside our grudge for today. How about we share a drink?"

Sun Cultivator thought for a moment and said, "I can agree to temporarily set aside our grudge, but I don’t want to drink with you."

"Suit yourself!" Lujiang Qu said coolly. "Just don’t cause any trouble."

Sun Cultivator led his disciple to a seat at the very end of the hall.

The disciple asked doubtfully, "Master, do you really believe that Lu’s words?"

"I don’t!" Sun Cultivator shook his head decisively.

In his eyes, Lujiang Qu was a thorough scoundrel and a great liar. Even an oath to the heavens from him couldn’t be easily believed.

The disciple asked, confused, "Then why are we still sitting here?"

"We’re waiting for people!" Sun Cultivator replied.

The disciple asked, "Are we waiting for Hu Yidao and Elder Li?"

Sun Cultivator nodded. "This is the Giant Sword Sect’s territory. As master and disciple, we are at a disadvantage. We must have help. It won’t be too late to make our move after Hu Yidao and Elder Li arrive."

"I understand! Master is biding his time so he can be the straw that breaks the camel’s back," the disciple said excitedly.

"You’re a teachable student!"

Sun Cultivator praised, "Jiao Liang, do you know what I like about you? It’s that you’re smart. You understand things instantly."

"It’s because Master has taught me well," Jiao Liang said with a wide smile.

After three rounds of drinks, Xiao Lang came to Su Mo and asked, "Young Master, aren’t you bored?"

"Nope!"

Su Mo put his arm around Xiao Qingxue. "Honey, are you bored?"

Xiao Qingxue shook her head with a smile.

Su Mo said, "See? My wife isn’t bored either."

Xiao Lang retorted, "Young Master, that’s a bit much. Of course *you’re* not bored, you have your wife with you. What about us single folk?"

"If you want a wife, that’s easy," Su Mo said with a smile. "I’ll have Xiaolu find you one from among the disciples of the Giant Sword Sect."

Xiao Lang shook his head. "You can’t force matters of the heart. Besides, I don’t want to get married right now."

"Then what do you want to do?" Su Mo asked.

Xiao Lang suggested, "Let’s have a martial arts contest to liven things up."

"A martial arts contest to liven things up? Great idea!"

"I agree!"

"I’ll have Sect Leader Lu arrange it."

Su Mo whispered a few words in Lujiang Qu’s ear. Lujiang Qu said in disbelief, "Elder Su, are you sure you want to do this?"

"Hurry up and arrange it!" Su Mo said, waving his hand dismissively.

Lujiang Qu stood up and said, "Everyone, to better celebrate Elder Su’s birthday and liven up the atmosphere, we will now hold a martial arts contest!"

"What are the rules?" someone asked curiously.

Lujiang Qu announced, "For the sake of fairness, we’ll have Elder Su’s young disciples compete against all of you venerable Elders and Patriarchs."

"What?"

"Having young disciples fight against us, who are Elders and Patriarchs? You call that fair?"

"Sect Leader Lu, you must have misspoken."

The hall instantly erupted in an uproar.

The Patriarchs and Elders present were at least at the Martial King Realm, and there was no shortage of Martial Emperor experts among them. They were all famous figures in their own right.

Asking them to fight against juniors...

It was too humiliating.

There was no glory in winning.

Lujiang Qu said, "I have not misspoken. That is indeed what Elder Su said. If you don’t believe me, ask him yourself."

"That’s right. Those were my words," Su Mo confirmed with a nod.

A gray-robed old man stood up and said, "Elder Su, it’s not that I mean to be disrespectful or contradict you, but you’re looking down on us. Aren’t you afraid that we old-timers might let a hand slip and accidentally kill one of your disciples?"

"What’s your Realm?" Su Mo asked.

The gray-robed old man said proudly, "I am nothing special, merely at the Late Stage Martial King Realm."

He was confident that was more than enough to deal with a few juniors.

However, Su Mo said, "Only the Late Stage Martial King Realm? You really are ’nothing special.’ Step down. Let’s get someone with a higher Realm to come up."
