Chapter 50: Untitled

Mo Yunhuang gently waved his hand, and the woman in black standing beside him immediately realized it and came forward holding an extremely delicate purple wooden box.

“Our King brought a gift today!” The woman in black had a beautiful face, a cool look, and a clear voice like ice caps and flowing water. With that said, she slowly opened the simple and mysterious purple wooden box in her hands.

Hearing this woman’s words, everyone present was flattered and curious. They did not expect Cloud King to even bring them a gift!

As soon as a thin slit of the wooden box was opened, a cold glare flashed through, and it was difficult to catch quickly. With the opening of the box, an aura slowly flowed out…

For a time, the lively atmosphere of the entire palace banquet was shrouded in a thick cloud.

With the opening of the wooden box, a sword containing the trajectory of years and engraved with the stories of time was slowly revealed…

The silver scabbard hid the sharp sword body, but in any case, it could not hide the thick ancient aura! It seemed that through this sword, you could peep into the ancient flames of fire thousands of years ago, drinking blood and killing. And this sword was the undefeated king after countless battlefields!

The plain scabbard was carved with simple lines. Above the hilt, a purple gemstone was set in place, like a finishing touch, adding a strange color and giving soul to the silver sword.

“This sword is an ancient treasure.” The woman in black showed the contents of the wooden box to everyone, and as she spoke, she looked at the sword longingly.

When it caught the cold and quiet light, Zihou knew that the thing in the wooden box would definitely not be simple, but when she saw the sword lying inside, she stopped breathing…

“The sword is destined to be given to someone. This sword is a female sword. So, any woman present who can pull it out and get its approval is the master of this sword!” The woman in black continued as the complex colors in her eyes quickly emerged and quickly receded like a tide.

As soon as this remark came out, all the women present were excited. If they could pull this ancient sword out, it was theirs! Of course, that was not the main point. If they could pull out this sword, they would shine and stand out, and get His Royal Highness Cloud King’s approval!

So, not being able to hide their excitement and eager to try, they all couldn’t wait to get the sword and Cloud King.

“However, there is a requirement.” The woman in black opened her mouth again, and her brow furrowed slightly. “You’re not allowed to touch the sword with your hands, you can only use your aura!”

As soon as these words came out, some were happy and some were sad. For those who could not cultivate, this was terrible news. They seemed to have been struck by lightning and suffered a huge blow, almost fainting. And those who cultivated, especially those that were quite good, were extremely happy. They felt that they were one step closer to success…

Zihou looked at the peerless sword in front of her and unexpectedly felt the urge to go forward and pull it out. But when she thought of this sword as the stinky man’s gift, she was very reluctant.

She did not forget that yesterday the stinky man said that there would be a surprise for her. Was this sword that surprise? If she accepted it, she would be following him again!

While Zihou was debating, someone could not wait to step forward and draw the sword…

A woman dressed in a crimson dress rushed up immediately, eager to pull the sword.

“His Royal Highness, I’m Jiang Li of Shangshu estate,” Jiang Li answered shyly with a soft breath, totally different from her shrewd behavior at the medicinal pavilion with Baili Dujuan and her servant.

“No need to report your name. Hurry up, there are people waiting behind you!” She said coldly with no expression, except for a slight flash of disdain under her dark eyes.

Was it possible for such a noble person to covet another noble person?

Jiang Li’s smiling face suddenly stiffened, and her slightly drooping face flushed with anger. This stinky woman, when she became Cloud Queen, she would be the first to go!

However, Jiang Li knew that this was not the right time to lose her temper, so she tried to calm down and said, “Then I shall start!”

With that, Jiang Li walked to the sword, summoned a rich green aura, and confidently guided her aura to try and pull out the sword.

Seeing this, everyone present curiously observed Jiang Li’s move. Jiang Li’s rich green aura was slowly injected into the sword, and the whole sword was bathed in the green light…

Buzz…

Suddenly, the sword let out a low hum. Not only that, but the sword also began to tremble slightly!

Was this a sign of success?

Jiang Li breathed in tightly and suddenly rejoiced in her heart.

Not only did Jiang Li think so, but everyone else also felt that the sword was going to be pulled out…
