Weapon seller in the world of magic
chapter-362

Dai Qiu was originally a low-level adventurer whose team ended up in a mishap against a fierce beast of 5-circle when they explored a dungeon. Since then, he didn't join the teams and mostly worked as a temporary coachman for nobles.

From time to time, he fought against bandits and lower realm assassins but it is because he had to protect his client and there was no other choice.

However, at the present, there is nothing at stake here. Why should he go and risk his life in a competition he didn't have any interest in?

Unfortunately for Dai Qiu, he wasn't given the option to choose. Because that so-called light elemental spirit merged with his body, he was told to join the Kunlun sect for that spirit belonged to the sect.

If he doesn't listen, then, he will be hunted down.

While he was contemplating on whether to run away with his life when these two teenagers become busy in the tournament battles, Mark put forth another proposition which he was only told to agree to it without any negotiations.

Mark promised that the Kunlun sect will forget the matter and he will have his freedom as long as he will enter top-32 and then follows him to the Kunlun sect to formally apologize for taking their treasure.

Now, Dai Qiu could ignore the demands of the teenagers but Mark? He was the royal guest of Eastern Sun and to some extent, even the Kun Empire. If include the Western Moon kingdom and Phoenix Empire, where he could run away if he offends such a person?

Hence, the poor adventurer turned coachman became a participant, representing the Kunlun sect alongside Mark, Zi Ling, and Dong Fang.

The Xianshu doesn't care whether Mark and Dai Qiu belonged to the Kunlun sect or not. It entirely depends on the Kunlun sect of who to choose. It is not a problem whether the representative is an outsider.

It was at this point that Mark took advantage of and was participating in the place of dead seniors of Dong Fang and Zi Ling.

Soon, Mark and the other three joined the line. They only have four members in front. So, it won't be long before their turn comes up. However, their strength appeared to be anything but ordinary.

"Show your invitation" "Here"

"Okay, step through the barrier and place your palm on the artifact."

"6-circle realm. Good… please go and register your names."

"6-circle realm"

"6-circle realm?"

"6-circle realm???"

Because of the high number of participants, the legendary realm expert didn't bother to sense each one's cultivation realm and didn't pay much attention to the group that is filled with only teenagers.

How could he have expected to meet Upper Elite realm cultivators in a row? Naturally, he was taken aback and took a glance at them one more time and mumbled, "It appeared that the Iron Palm Sect is going all out after losing half of their strength."

"One of the four representatives of the sect glanced in the elder's direction as he heard those words. His face turned serious but he didn't speak anything and turned around his head before walking away toward the participants' section even though they knew that the matches will only start three hours later.

As for Mark, he wasn't that dedicated or determined. After Dong Fang and Zi Ling were done with their registrations, he calmly walked through the barrier and placed his palm on the stone slab, which is a semi-divine artifact according to the details displayed on the holographic screen before Mark's eyes.

Once he was done, he went back to meet Song Yue before they went on a tour. Surprisingly, Yang Bingwen too tagged along with them and became a tour guide.

Previously, the disciples of the White Peak only heard the rumors and now that they were witnessing it with their own eyes, their curiosity toward this group has increased quite exponentially.

"Why Grand Elder Yang is escorting them?"

"Do you know who they are?"

"I heard that they were representing Kunlun Sect."

"Is that beast king belong to their sect's master or something? It looks so mighty."

"I should say I'm envious of that guy. His wife is so pretty"

"Oh my god… his smile… I think I'll fall in love with that young master. He is so handsome" "Shhh… mind your manners"

"I felt like he has the air of a prince. Even his looks (age) and cultivation realm are similar to the fourth prince. I wonder whether he is a prince of Leon Empire or Phoenix Empire." "Hmpf, it's just your overestimation. The fourth prince is a heavenly genius. Someone like him couldn't hold a candle against Qin Zhi."

"I wonder who that middle-aged-looking fellow is. I cannot sense any cultivation. He must be powerful. Who knows, he might be a hidden expert?"

As Mark was roaming around the main peak, mainly the training grounds, judgment hall, cultivation caves where spiritual energy is far higher, merit shops where disciples exchange their merits for items or techniques, meditation center, etc…, murmurings filled the entire place with almost every disciple and participant who recognizes the old man murmuring one thing or another.

Mark had no interest to care about others. As the guy who wanted to revive the Lan Sect, he just wanted to see how a sect functions and what are the essential things that he needs to pay attention for.

After a couple of hours, he returned to the main arena where people started filling up the audience seats. Just like Mark, the other participants also have people tagged along with them to support them. Along with the disciples from the other peaks, they too sat down.

Meanwhile, Song Yue and others were taken to the VIP section, where important guests, elders, and grand elders will sit.

The Grand elder introduced Song Yue to them. They have heard of the weapon seller and his exploits so far. So, they weren't surprised by either the golden kitten sleeping in her arms or the manticore.

However, Lan Ju is different, who was a Supreme Being (?) like their Patriarch. So, his presence attracted their attention the most.

Ignoring the lady who kept her eyes on the arena's field, the sect's Patriarch struck up a conversation with Lan Ju. He inquired about Mark's chances in the tournament.

Of course, he wanted to know why Mark is representing the Kunlun sect, which should have no connection with the weapon seller as far as their sources say. But, even a fellow supreme being like Patriarch Xie cannot ask him because of the fact that this fellow named Wu Weibao has mysterious origins.

This is the problem with old and wise people. Sometimes, they think too much about the matter, trying to get to the bottom only to get nowhere in the end. But, oftentimes, they will also guess it right.

The same thing happened here too.

To his earlier question, he received an ambiguous reply from the zheng, "I don't question my master's actions, Patriarch Xie. There's always a reason behind them."

And in the next second, the Patriarch of the Xianshu sect was already in deep thinking, trying to search for the hidden meaning behind Lan Ju's words.
