Huo Yi is still very famous in the hermit world. After all, he was once known as the strongest genius among the seventh level.
His appearance in the Fuguang Holy Land immediately caused a huge uproar.
Even the mayor of Yangon, the largest city in the territory of Fuguang Holy Land, came out in person to greet him.
"Young Master Huo's presence truly brightens this humble place!"
City Lord Lin Yansheng opened his arms and said with a smile.
Although this city lord's realm is not high, only the initial stage of the eighth level, he is well versed in the ways of dealing with people and is a man of many talents.
When Huo Yi appeared here, he did not neglect him at all.
This person is the direct disciple of the leader of Tianyuan Sword Sect, and it is said that they are also father and son, and will be the future head of Tianyuan Sword Sect.
No matter which major force Huo Yi goes to, he will be treated with great respect.
In other words, basically anyone in their team can receive such treatment.
"You're too polite, City Lord Lin. I've long heard that the cities under the Fuguang Holy Land are extraordinary, and seeing them today is indeed true!"
Although Huo Yi is not good at socializing, he has no problem with basic courtesy.
While the two of them were exchanging pleasantries, Li Xuan and others were hiding secretly in a house in the city, their mental powers always keeping an eye on Huo Yi.
"Huo Yi's visit, with such fanfare, won't alert the enemy."
Kong Wen said with a little worry.
Huo Yi's open appearance was probably known to almost everyone in the Fuguang Holy Land.
"It doesn't matter. They don't know why we are here." Li Xuan said.
Although they have caused many troubles in the secular world, there are already many barriers between the secular world and the monastic world, and there is almost no communication between the two worlds.
Unless something major happens that shakes the foundation of the human race, most people in the hermit world will not know what happens in the secular world.
After the two of them exchanged pleasantries, City Lord Lin asked Huo Yi again about his purpose.
"I, Huo, have diligently practiced swordsmanship for decades and have finally reached the eighth level. Therefore, I want to test the world with my sword and have come to the Fuguang Holy Land to ask for advice!"
Huo Yi pressed the sword hanging at his waist with his left hand.
City Lord Lin suddenly felt a powerful sword intent gathering beside him, and a feeling of high spirits also came over him.
This is something that is different from him, an old man who had long since given up martial arts and focused on interpersonal communication.
During these years of training, his potential had long been exhausted. It was only after years of polishing and the help of various rare treasures that he was promoted to the eighth level.
This is completely different from Huo Yi, a genius with unlimited potential who has reached the eighth level early on.
Just the aura emanating from him was enough to make the elderly City Lord Lin feel ashamed of himself.
Even though Huo Yi had just been promoted to the eighth level not long ago and was only a beginner in the eighth level, he had been brewing in this realm for many years.
However, he relied on rare treasures to forcibly improve his realm, and his combat power was far inferior to that of the top genius Huo Yi.
After a moment of daze, City Lord Lin smiled slightly and said, "Young Master Huo, you're joking. You're a top genius in your realm. How could the ordinary disciples of our Fuguang Holy Land be your opponent?"
Huo Yi said, "Of course I'm not here to challenge ordinary disciples. I want to challenge all of you who are at the beginning of the eighth stage."
It sounded a bit arrogant to say this, but he didn't actually mean it in his heart. He just wanted to use this to test out Ji Yao's identity.
It would be best if we could challenge Ji Yao directly.
After all, everyone on the list is at the initial stage of the eighth level, and Ji Yao must be no exception.
City Lord Lin didn't get angry after hearing this, but instead said, "Young Master Huo, I understand your desire to test the world with your sword, but you come from a great sword sect after all."
"And our Fuguang Holy Land is not an unknown place. No matter what the final result is, the final influence will be too great."
As a man of many talents, he naturally cares more about these things. No matter who wins in the end, the result will not be good and will affect the reputation of the two major sects.
"How about a secret challenge? No one outside will know about it!"
Huo Yi said.
His plan was to ask the Fuguang Holy Land to provide a list of names that could compete, and he would always find the name Ji Yao among the early eighth-order.
"Young Master Huo, there is no impenetrable wall in the world." City Lord Lin shook his head slightly.
Huo Yi frowned immediately. He had not expected this. He originally thought that if he revealed his identity, he would be taken seriously by the Fuguang Holy Land.
It was difficult for them to refuse the conditions proposed by themselves.
But I didn't expect that the influence was achieved, but it was a bit excessive.
Is there no other way?
Seeing him fall silent, City Lord Lin couldn't help but say, "Young Master Huo, why bother worrying about this? We, the Fuguang Holy Land, are not the only ones suitable for a challenge."
"There are so many independent cultivators out there, and so many renowned early-stage eighth-order experts. Wouldn't it be more appropriate for you to challenge them? If you succeed, you can replace their fame."
"Even if you fail, you are still young, no one will say anything, and you don't have to worry about losing the reputation of the Tianyuan Sword Sect."
Huo nodded. After saying these words, he no longer had any reason to challenge.
"By the way, Young Master Huo, why did you choose our holy land? Is there any other reason?" City Lord Lin suddenly changed the subject and looked at Huo Yi with shrewd eyes.
This made Huo Yi feel nervous, as if he had been seen through.
After all, the reason of coming to challenge is a bit too abrupt. If it is just a coincidence, then there are so many top forces in the hermit world, and there are also many forces with a solid foundation.
This is a bit hard to justify.
The cunning City Lord Lin naturally wanted to find out Huo Yi's true purpose.
"There's no reason. I just came here after some experience, and happened to have the idea of trying out the sword." Huo Yi adjusted his mentality and said calmly.
"Oh? Young Master Huo still wants to gain experience? I wonder where you came to Yangon City from?"
City Lord Lin asked casually, but in fact, his eyes were always watching the changes in Huo Yi's expression.
He did not expect to get answers to these questions. After all, Huo Yi had no obligation to answer.
But he could tell some of Huo Yi's thoughts from the other party's reaction. If Huo Yi chose not to answer, then there would definitely be something fishy.
If the answer is vague, you can continue asking.
In terms of strength, he may be far inferior to Huo Yi, but in these matters, several Huo Yis combined are not as good as him.
Huo Yi was not a fool, so he naturally felt City Lord Lin's intention, so he did not show any expression, but responded with a blank face.
