Chapter 178 The great revenge is avenged
Wei Chao's face darkened. "The junior is rude."

Being pointed at with a sword by an unknown junior is tantamount to trampling his dignity into the ground.

He never even dared to utter a sarcastic remark, "The dignified leader of the martial arts alliance dares not step onto the stage to accept the challenge?"

Today he will cut off his head to comfort the spirits of his maternal grandfather and mother in heaven.

A bloody killing intent rushed towards him, and Wei Chao felt a chill run down his spine.

He feigned composure and acted as if he cared about the younger generation.

"Young man, your hands are so shaky you can't even hold the sword properly. Don't be greedy now that you've won the championship."

Upon hearing this, everyone adopted an expression of anticipation, as if they were watching a good show.

The Second Prince of Dongchen watched the scene with a cold, gloomy gaze.

He lost, defeated by the most useless princess of Nanyue. Unable to defeat the Martial Alliance, how could he face returning to Dongchen?

Even the most skilled assassins trained by the palace couldn't kill him. Who exactly is he?

Shi Nuanyu, you wait.

His gaze fell on Wei Chao, and he cursed inwardly with resentment.

Useless thing. It can't even handle a simple competition. What's the point of keeping it?

The stench of blood filled the air, and Shi Nuanyu sneezed. She rubbed her nose and looked around.

Who is that filthy person who is cursing her?

With Wei Chao hesitant to accept the challenge, Shi Nuanyu's eyes grew impatient, and she added fuel to the fire.

"The leader of the martial arts alliance is so afraid of a junior. I really doubt whether you have the ability to lead the martial arts alliance to greatness."

The members of the various sects below the stage whispered among themselves after hearing this, having lost all hope for the Martial Arts Alliance Grand Competition.

But as the leader of the martial arts alliance, his cowardice made it difficult for them to trust him.

Wei Chao looked pale and pleaded in his heart for the Second Prince of Dongchen to speak up for him.

Shi Nuanyu urged repeatedly, "Aren't you going up? Are you waiting for me to have someone carry you up?"

Suddenly her voice turned cold, "Or do you want someone to plead for you?"

Wei Chao's heart leaped into his throat, and countless fearful thoughts surfaced in his mind.

Princess Nanyue realized his intentions.

He suppressed his fear and leaped onto the stage, standing with one hand behind his back. "Since the princess has spoken, this leader of the alliance can no longer refuse. Junior, please do not blame this leader for being inconsiderate."

She didn't even try to sneer, "You're cowardly and incompetent, and now you even want to slander His Highness for not caring about his subordinates. What are you up to?"

Everyone knew perfectly well that his cunning schemes had long been exposed.

The leaders of various sects looked on with disdain, while the sects that had been threatened by him were overjoyed and couldn't wait for the martial arts alliance leader to suffer.

"court death."

Wei Chao roared and charged forward with his sword.

Before he could even draw his sword to defend himself, he was forced to the edge of the arena. With a light touch of his toes, he landed gracefully behind Wei Chao.

The sharp thrust left a sword mark on his arm.

Wei Chao dodged to the side and unleashed his internal energy to strike. This person's "Treading Swallow" technique was so skillful that he could no longer hold back his questioning.

"Who are you anyway?"

He never tried to answer, but his moves were as fast as lightning, each strike hitting his vital points.

Enraged at not getting an answer, Wei Chao unleashed his full power in an attack.

Before he could even react, he was struck in the abdomen; the powerful internal force knocked him to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, he used the Swallow Step technique to dodge the attack, looking for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.

The two fighters' exquisite combat skills silenced everyone, who watched the fight with great interest.

Even Shi Nuanyu, who didn't know martial arts, was attracted.

She saw the desperate look on his face, a result she had never witnessed before, and knew that ten years of relentless effort would come to an end on this day.

Ten years of honing a sword, yet its sharp edge remains untested.

This is him.

Revenge and obsession were his lifelong companions; only by overcoming this obstacle could he embrace a new life.

Shi Nuanyu couldn't help but pray for him in her heart: You must win before you even try.

The hatred for killing one's mother is irreconcilable; Wei Chao must die.

The people of Hua Lingyan and the others were deeply moved. Many of them had never been able to overcome that hurdle in their lives, and they hoped that their unfulfilled wish would come true. Under the scorching summer sky, dark clouds loomed overhead, and the howling winds between the mountain peaks were like vengeful demons from the abyss, ready to devour the souls of the wicked at any moment.

A strong wind blew in, and the stench of blood permeated the entire arena.

Blood flowed from Wei Chao's robes, a long sword pierced his abdomen, and blood gushed from his mouth like a waterfall.

He stared intently at the junior who wanted him dead, and reluctantly uttered three words.

"why?"

Why do they want to kill him? Who exactly is he?
"You ask me why?"

Before he could even chuckle, a mournful laugh echoed through the mountains.

"It's laughable, truly laughable, that a wicked person who has committed countless evil deeds can't even remember the mistakes they've made."

He used three-tenths of his strength to plunge the sword three-tenths of its length. The internal force contained in the sword caused Wei Chao excruciating pain. He was powerless to resist but could not escape the agony.

She had never tried to remove the mask with one hand; her cold gaze was fixed on him.

"Wei Chao, I'm here to kill you."

"It's you……"

Wei Chao's pupils contracted, his whole body trembled uncontrollably, and endless fear enveloped him.

He didn't die, and Princess Nanyue didn't kill him. Why?
He spoke in a chilling whisper, "Are you disappointed that I'm not dead? You killed my grandfather and mother for the position of martial arts alliance leader. Wei Chao, I will make you lose everything too."
Li Mei, and your son, they all must die.

He drew his longsword and watched helplessly as Wei Chao lay dead on the ground, his eyes wide open in disbelief.

Why was he still not happy even after killing his enemy?

Why did he feel so dejected after avenging his great enemy?

Why?

After ten years of preparation and five years of planning, he completed his mission.

Grandpa, Mom, I did it.

"The leader of the martial arts alliance is dead. This hall hereby announces that Wei Kongyu's son, Wei Zengshi, will take over the martial arts alliance."

Who is Wei Kongyu?
Who is it that hasn't even tried?

Who is he?
"You haven't even tried yet, what are you standing there for? Have you forgotten our agreement?"

A gentle yet firm voice reached his ears, and he stiffly looked up without even trying.

A woman in red met his gaze in the attic, her fiery red veil billowing in the wind.

Agreement?

What agreement?
'I have never tried, yet I swear to serve the princess to the death.'

Your Highness.

Warm jade at times.

Who is he?
He has never tried.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he knelt on one knee, holding a long sword.

"I have never tried to serve the princess."

Seeing that he had regained his senses, Shi Nuanyu breathed a sigh of relief and responded loudly.

"I grant your permission. From now on, the Martial Alliance will be under your management. I guarantee that Nan Yue will no longer take action against the Martial Alliance."

What an idiot, a complete and utter idiot.

Each character in the book is not a simple two-dimensional person in her eyes; they are flesh and blood, with feelings and hatred, and they have their own lives.

The people in the martial arts world looked at each other, and when they understood the meaning of these words, they all knelt on the ground without prior arrangement.

"This humble citizen will forever serve Nan Yue."

After ten years of trials and tribulations, the Martial Alliance received the protection of Nan Yue.

Shi Nuanyu looked at the martial arts practitioners below the stage. In truth, they just wanted a home, and they had their own martial arts world.

"Rise. You are all citizens of Nan Yue. No one in Nan Yue will dare to harm you."

These words were also meant for the Second Prince of Dongchen: anyone who dares to harm the people of Nanyue will face a blood feud with him.

The people of the martial arts world could not contain their excitement and shouted in unison.

"May the Southern Moon last for a thousand generations, may the Southern Moon endure forever."

With no further chance of vying for the Martial Alliance, the Second Prince of Dongchen coldly snorted and turned away.

Ten years to forge a sword, its cold blade yet to be tested. (From Jia Dao's poem "The Swordsman/On Swordsmanship" in the Tang Dynasty)
