Chapter 153 – Li Zixuan: This Person Is Not My Master at All!

Meanwhile.

On the internet, videos were being released one after another, shot from different angles, causing the popularity of the Jianghai Sword God topic to skyrocket.

An overwhelming wave of traffic poured in.

Various platforms experienced crashes, and it wasn’t until several minutes later, after emergency repairs by the authorities, that normal operations resumed!

Just as the online frenzy was brewing.

On the highway outside Sword God Valley.

Beep beep—

Annoying honks echoed incessantly, with congested vehicles forming a long queue. Road rage and curses intertwined… People, as if on a pilgrimage, opened their car doors and walked along the highway, rushing toward Sword God Valley.

Madness!

A large number of Jianghai citizens gathered at Sword God Valley, waiting and watching, just to catch a glimpse of the Sword God!

“There are so many people.”

Lin Mofeng glided over the crowd, looking down at the sea of people below, and sighed, “With all this chaos, I hope nothing goes wrong.”

He had long anticipated that the Sword God’s emergence would stir up quite a commotion.

But judging by the current situation… the Sword God’s status was simply too high. In the eyes of Jianghai’s citizens, he was comparable to the sun in the sky…

Truly exaggerated!

“You don’t understand, Mo Feng. Sword God Senior has saved our Jianghai several times. His status is revered.”

Elder Li, following beside him, said with admiration, “Now that the old senior has finally emerged, no matter what, I must beg for his assistance!”

As he finished speaking.

Li Zixuan, who was trailing behind them, remained silent. She didn’t say much, only watching the frenzied crowd around her with some concern.

Earlier, she had just spoken with her Senior Brother, warning him not to trust anyone.

Now, out of goodwill, she had accompanied Elder Li and the others to prevent any unforeseen incidents.

A moment later.

The three of them sped forward, leaping over the crowd, and soon arrived at Sword God Valley.

Pine forests surged like waves, and people gathered in the valley, holding their phones high toward the sky above, their expressions fervent and crazed.

“They’re waiting for Sword God Senior to appear!”

Elder Li was also too excited to contain himself, his aged hands trembling uncontrollably. He turned to the two beside him and said, “Let’s blend into the crowd! We must not steal Sword God Senior’s spotlight!”

With those words.

He and Lin Mofeng took the lead, descending and merging into the crowd.

Seeing this,

Li Zixuan let out a sigh and quietly followed behind them, feeling somewhat helpless. She recalled that Elder Li was also one of her teacher’s ardent fans.

More like a little fanboy…

Wait…

Li Zixuan reconsidered.

“Shouldn’t he be an old fanboy?”

………….

Amid the pine forest, fierce winds swept through Sword God Valley. The scorching sun hung high in the sky, and as noon arrived, the weather grew even hotter.

But the enthusiasm of the people in the canyon did not wane. They still held their phones high, aimed at the sky above, waiting for that moment.

Everyone’s expectations soared, all eagerly anticipating “his” descent!

Right at that moment.

Boom!

A thunderclap tore through the clear sky!

A flash of lightning exploded, shattering the sea of clouds in the heavens.

An unknown, terrifying aura swept through Sword God Valley, stirring celestial phenomena and instantly shocking the onlookers. The crowd erupted into a frenzy!

“He’s here! Lord Sword God is coming!”

“Hey, hey, buddy, could you move aside a bit? Don’t block my shot of the Sword God…”

“Everyone, get out of my way!”

“……”

“Step back, don’t cross the line!”Officers from the Star Martial Police Department stood guard on all sides, pulling up orange warning lines and pushing back several onlookers attempting to cross the boundaries as they struggled to maintain order at the scene.

Suddenly!

Whoosh!

A gust of wind pressure descended, like low-hanging clouds, creating an overwhelming presence.

People clutched their sunhat brims and looked up toward the sky.

High above, a figure stood suspended in midair, draped in a black robe, towering over everyone as if overlapping with the midday sun, blocking out its dazzling rays!

“Holy shit! Lord Sword God is so damn cool!”

“The sun dominating the sky!”

“This aura is too powerful, incredible!”

People reached out toward the Sword God in the sky as if in worship, their overlapping arms creating waves of cheering that erupted in bursts, instantly igniting everyone’s enthusiasm!

……

“Hah, these fools…”

High above, the Black-Robed Man looked down upon the excited expressions of the spectators below, a cold smirk curling at the corner of his mouth.

“I never expected the Sword God’s status in Jianghai City to be so high, held in such esteem by these common folks.”

At this thought.

He shook his head slightly, feeling even more contempt for the Sword God in his heart.

If he had such devotion directed at him, he would have long harvested it, reaping immense financial resources and squeezing them dry.

Yet unexpectedly.

This Jianghai Sword God, for some reason, didn’t seem to care at all?

“Foolish!”

Bathed in the cheers, the Black-Robed Man remained silent, his gaze sweeping over the crowd below as a trace of malice flashed in his eyes.

“I wonder what expressions you’ll wear today when you witness the Sword God’s miserable death with your own eyes?”

……

Just then.

Amid the crowd below.

Feeling the aura emanating from the Black-Robed Man, Li Zixuan frowned, a hint of doubt stirring in her heart.

This doesn’t seem…

like her master?

She gazed up at the “Sword God” in the sky but felt no familiarity whatsoever—his presence was completely different from her teacher’s.

After all.

Whenever she had met her teacher before, he had always given off a reliable, reclusive, and serene vibe.

Compared to the flamboyant aura of this “Sword God” in the sky, it was like night and day.

They seemed like two entirely different people!

“So… this is the level of the Jianghai Sword God?”

Lin Mofeng stood with his arms crossed in the crowd, staring at the black-robed figure in the sky, a flicker of disappointment crossing his brow.

Naturally, he held deep respect for Lord Sword God, and judging by this aura, the other was undoubtedly stronger than him.

He genuinely revered the Sword God!

However…

based on the aura he had just sensed.

Although this Sword God was powerful, he only reached the late stages of the Grandmaster Realm at most, without crossing the threshold into the Supreme Realm.

In other words.

With enough effort, he could still catch up to him!

“If I can catch up… then there’s a chance to surpass him. I might not be inferior to him!”

With this thought.

Lin Mofeng relaxed slightly, but as soon as he turned his head, he heard Elder Li’s fervent exclamation.

“He’s here! Lord Sword God is here!”

Elder Li clenched his fists, staring excitedly at the black-robed figure above, the veins on his neck bulging as he sank into a state of deep fervor, as exhilarated as the other citizens of Jianghai around him.

“Come, Mo Feng! You come with me to see the Sword God!”

Elder Li turned to Lin Mofeng and said, “If we can just persuade him to take action, Jianghai City will be saved!””Mm, I understand, Teacher.”

Lin Mofeng nodded to show his comprehension, gathering Star Power as he prepared to dart out from the crowd.

But right at that moment.

“Wait…”

Li Zixuan suddenly spoke up, placing her hands on both their shoulders to keep them in place.

“What’s wrong, Xuan Xuan?”

“Shimei, what are you doing?”

The two turned back to see Li Zixuan’s displeased expression, her teeth clenched as she said:

“This isn’t the Jianghai Sword God – this is an imposter!”
