Supreme Emperor of Swords Chapter 478 - Shen Buhui

Chapter 478 Shen Buhui

Shen Buhui was the first genius of the Heartless Swordsmanship Sect in Chen Province.
However, the Heartless Swordsmanship Sect was the number one sect in Chen Province. It was a giant existence and had no opponents at all.
Even though in the entire Northern Region, the Heartless Swordsmanship Sect did not have much say and was a nobody, but like Ding Hao and the others, Shen Buhui managed to obtain an opportunity to enter the Sage Battlefield.
More importantly, a senior from the Heartless Swordsmanship Sect once made a great contribution to the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost and was rewarded. Shen Buhui was sent directly to the Highest Heaven and was temporarily assigned to the position of guarding the formation gate in the southwest.
That position allowed Shen Buhui to not need to go to the dangerous area outside of the Sage Battlefield and to take risks of fighting fierce beasts. Instead, he could quietly stay in the Highest Heaven and get a lot of cultivation resources as well. He could also feel the primitive law of heaven and earth and cultivate at a very fast speed.
Shen Buhui was extremely satisfied with it.
Although he was the first genius of the Heartless Swordsmanship Sect, Shen Buhui did not have a sense of superiority like ordinary martial artists. He was born into a poor family and had always been very humble. Even in the face of people whose strength and status were much lower than his, he lowered his status as well. Whether it was masters of martial arts or common people, he could talk to them all. And as a very social person, he enjoyed high popularity.
As time went by, more and more people came to the Highest Heaven.
Everyone who knew about the existence of the Highest Heaven would have tried to enter the Highest Heaven after they entered the Sage Battlefield for some time no matter if they were a genius of the Demon Clan or the Human Clan. It was not only because it was safe there, but also because that place had wealth and cultivation resources that the Human Clan and the Demon Clan had co-accumulated over the past tens of thousands of years. Only fools would risk their lives to fight against the vicious beasts when there was no supply difference between the Highest Heaven and the outside.
Besides, there had been a lot of rumors recently that all pieces of the map of the mysterious ruins were about to be assembled.
At that time, more and more people would gather in the Highest Heaven because it was possible to find the inscription formation and divine fire that could control the Sage Battlefield. The strong who had the ability to come would rush there regardless of the cost and try to take the chance to get a share of the benefits.
Because of his special status, Shen Buhui had a fixed residence and training place in the Highest Heaven, and he could obtain abundant cultivation resources. He was much better than the martial artists who wandered in the Highest Heaven. He could be considered as a half-member of the system. Every person who entered the city from the formation gate in the southwest had to be checked by him. Therefore, he had some power along with a small status in the city.
That day, he was on duty while practicing as usual.
The formation gate in the southwest was one of the Ten Formation Gates of the Highest Heaven. The real defensive responsibility was taken by the Puppet Doll of War. Shen Buhui only roughly determined the identity of the people who entered the city. At the same time, he was responsible for answering some simple questions and telling the newcomers what kind of rules they had to follow after entering the city.
All of a sudden, the formation gate flickered.
It meant that someone was going to enter the Highest Heaven through the transmission formation there.
“This is the eighth group of people today…” Shen Buhui made a simple identification and let them in.
In fact, he did not like to be interrupted during his process of cultivation, but he was responsible for such a duty. He took out a jade token from his arms and it shot out a traction light. The formation gate flashed more brightly, and then a silver light flashed, and more than a dozen people appeared in front of him.
Shen Buhui looked them up and down secretly.
The chief was a martial artist in black armor.
Judging from his manner, he should be very young, with an even and slender figure and clear eyes. Although Shen Buhui could not see his face due to the cover of a bronze grimace mask, Shen Buhui’s intuition told him that the martial artist had to be a young and handsome man. His every move exuded a kind of heroic spirit that was hard to imitate, and a small snow-white fat cat was squatting on his shoulder. His body was simple and adorable, which made him extremely cute.
Behind the young martial artist with the bronze grimace face was a graceful female martial artist.
She was also extremely young, with waterfall-like hair and a delicate red hollow mask. Her flawless skin, like suet-fat white jade, was faintly visible. Her whole body exuded an indescribable charm. Even her pair of eyes as clear as a spring had an impulse that made people want to be attracted.
A small fish was floating on her shoulder, and the strong smell of water was swirling around her body, as if it was a substance, and there was a faint sound of the tide surging.
The man and woman walked in front of the crowd.
Behind him were three youths in tight black armor. They were all about 20 years old, but they did not wear any masks. They were handsome with a sense of arrogance and coldness in their eyes. With an extremely sharp and royal aura, they seemed to have been in power for a long time. One could tell at first glance that they were geniuses from a royal family or a super sect.
However, Shen Buhui always felt that although these three people were fierce and luxurious, they had something missing compared to the young martial artist with the bronze grimace mask in front.
Behind him was a burly, well-dressed young man with a naked upper body.
The youth’s muscles were as sharp as knives and chopping hatchets. He was also wearing a strange black mask. The most eye-catching thing was the huge black saber in his hand. It was huge, about three meters wide, but his cultivation of Qi was amazingly low. He had not reached the Realm of the Primordial Grandmaster. Shen Buhui secretly guessed that it might be the servant of that young martial artist…
“Oh, my god!”
“What kind of existence could he be to bring servants into the Sage Battlefield?”
The other six people behind him were not weak either. One of them had sharp Qi, which was beyond Shen Ku’s perception in the peak of the Great Master Realm. He should be a Sword Cultivator in the Martial King Realm.
Shen Buhui didn’t dare to be careless. With a smile on his face, he hurriedly said, “How many of you are there? I am the guardian of the southwest gate of the formation. Your sect, please. According to the rules, you have to register some information when you enter the formation gate of the Highest Heaven…” He explained the rules of entering the city in detail.
“The Swordsmanship-seeking Sect,” the martial artist with the bronze grimace mask said with a smile.
Shen Buhui was stunned. For a moment, he couldn’t remember that there was a super sect called the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect in the Northern Region.
It was not his fault. Subconsciously, he felt that the martial artist with the bronze grimace mask must have been born into a super sect, but he had never expected that he was from the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, a low-class remote sect, which was even weaker than his own Heartless Swordsmanship Sect. After thinking for a while, he didn’t know any information about the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, but he became more mysterious with a better attitude.
“The Tianning Dynasty…” The Three Emperors of Ning Province also reported their sect.
Shen Buhui had heard of it before.
The Tianning Dynasty was somewhat well-known in the Northern Region. As the largest martial art force in the third-largest province, Ning Province of the Northern Region, it had many masters. With a long history and many secret methods, the Tianning Dynasty was much more powerful than Shen Ku’s Heartless Swordsmanship Sect.
So Shen Ku thought more highly of the identity of the martial artist with the bronze grimace mask.
Even the princes of the Tianning Dynasty could only follow him, and their attitude was extremely respectful. Could he be an ordinary person?
Moreover, he had such a beautiful Dual Cultivation partner with him. The reason why he wore a mask was to keep a low profile, wasn’t it? Anyway, those descendants of super high-ranking sects always had all kinds of strange behaviors, which people like him couldn’t understand.
After making a simple registration, Shen Buhui politely let these people in.
After a while, someone came to replace him.
Shen Buhui told him a few things. After a whole day’s work, he turned around and walked toward his temporary residence.
In those days, the situation in the Highest Heaven was very tricky. Geniuses and talents from various sects gathered. Although the Demon Clan and the Human Clan claimed to be peaceful superficially, undercurrents had been surging secretly. There were 10,000 masters that entered the Sage Battlefield in the entire Northern Region. At that time, more than half of them had entered the Highest Heaven. Therefore, the whole city became lively after the gloom and coldness in the past were gone.
Shen Buhui left very quickly.
When he passed by a market, as usual, he saw many people putting some items on the ancient stalls and making the most primitive deals.
That market was regular after the opening of the Sage Battlefield. However, it had only flourished in the past half a month. Masters from the Human Clan and the Demon Clan showed up at the market. Most of them concealed their original appearance and took out extremely rare treasures from the outside world for sale or exchange. Some treasures were items that had been prepared as soon as they entered the Sage Battlefield; some were obtained during their adventures in the Sage Battlefield, such as black crystals, divine materials, divine herbs, and Heaven-Earth Blood Bone. They could be found everywhere in the market.
Gold and silver were not even as good as feces in such a place.
Generally speaking, only when the mutual goods met each other’s needs could the owners of the stalls be able to make a deal.
Compared with the busy market in the outside world, it was very quiet there. Almost no stall owners would shout loudly. They just closed their eyes quietly and conducted cultivation while waiting for interested people to take the initiative to come and inquire. Because they were all God’s favored sons of big sects and forces, they would never imitate those bustling vendors.
Shen Buhui walked very fast, and his eyes swept across the stalls on the side of the road unconcernedly. Basically, there was nothing he was interested in.
However, something caught Shen Buhui’s eyes suddenly.
That was because he saw a few people in front of him patrolling the market place with great interest. They were a group of martial artists with the man with the mysterious bronze grimace mask who had passed through the formation gate in the southwest not long ago. An idea flashed through his mind, and with a ray of luck, Shen Buhui walked up to them with a smile. “Hi, friends, what a coincidence. We meet again.”
The martial artist with the bronze grimace mask turned around. Under the mask, there was still a kind smile in his eyes. “So it’s you, Brother Shen. It’s indeed a coincidence.”
“You’ve just entered the city, yet you want to buy goods at the market?” Shen Buhui pretended to ask casually.
The martial artist with the bronze grimace mask shook his head and said with a smile, “No, I’m just passing by and having a look.” Speaking of that, he seemed to think of something. He turned to the Three Emperors of Ning Province beside him and said, “The three of you, let’s part here for the time being. You go to find your people. After three days, we will meet again in this market. The contract is still valid. What do you think of it?”
