Chapter 282: Possessing Peach Branches but Missing Spring

A Yellow River Gathering had countless people across the land captivated.

Regardless of Qin Chu, who could surpass Jing Mu?

Inside a small courtyard in Xin'an City, Li Jianqiu pushed open the gate and walked in alone, with a peach branch sword that had made his name famous in Zhuang Country hanging at his waist, appearing desolate.

He had failed.

In the competition for a spot at the Yellow River Gathering, he was defeated by Lin Zhengren, who hailed from the Wangjiang City Daoist Academy.

Zhuang Country had advanced a level just last year through national warfare, and the fruits of war needed time to be assimilated; after all, the foundation was insufficient. There were no young and strong cultivators from the External Building Environment that could compete with the geniuses of other countries, nor the capability to participate in an unrestricted decisive battle for those under thirty, only in the Inner Mansion Realm was there a slim chance to exhibit some prowess.
