On Celestial Martial Peak, within the same great hall.
However, a few people were missing. Sun Buping was no longer in the master's seat, but a man in white had taken his place.
Furthermore, the 'Saint Sect's Mad Scholar' Li Juedai and the 'Beimang Sword Song' Xiao Qingyu were also not present.
Only the 'Master of the Heart of Literature' Luo Shuning, 'Elder Bu Kuang' Fan Wusheng, and 'Chess as Sword' Tong Jingchun remained.
Tong Jingchun sat in the seat of honor just below the master's, his gaze occasionally drifting to the man in white.
The man appeared to be in his forties, with a broad, square face. A cold glint shone from his eyes, as if two swords were hidden within them.
Every time he blinked, a sword light seemed to flash.
He glanced at the others in the hall and saw them looking nervously between him and the entrance, appearing rather restless.
He let out a soft chuckle.
"Everyone, do you think that Fang Shuwen can break the Star River Sword Array?"
