I had to tilt my head for a moment after hearing those words.
‘What Supreme?’
I even forgot about the cold for a brief moment because of those words.
That’s how bewildering they were.
Is he referring to the Supreme of the Central Plains right now?
‘What is that supposed to mean?’
I was left dumbfounded for a while after hearing it.
‘The Supreme (至尊)…?’
The Supreme of the Central Plains.
No particular face comes to mind upon hearing those words.
The term Supreme means the number one under heaven.
‘But there isn’t anyone like that in the current Central Plains.’
There was no martial artist in the current Central Plains who held such a position.
Even the Three Venerables, who are said to be at the end of the Heavenly Beyond Heaven, are ultimately three people, and the Alliance Leader, the Wudang Sword Immortal, is in a position lower than them.
The lords of the Four Great Families… no, the Three Great Families are merely at an age where they are in their physical prime as martial artists.
They would still be far short of being called the strongest.
Then, who is the Supreme that this person is talking about?
‘Could it be the Sword Supreme (劍尊)?’
The previous Alliance Leader, and one of the Three Venerables who led the Alliance to its golden age.
Even if not the number one under heaven.
A person called the World’s Greatest Sword (天下第一劍). Could he possibly mean the Sword Supreme?
It’s not strange.
In the current era where the Heavenly Demon has not appeared, if one were to pick the number one under heaven, he would be the most frequently mentioned person.
Moreover.
‘If it’s this guy, he might have a connection with the Sword Supreme.’
The person in front of me might have a tie to the Sword Supreme.
He might have met him directly.
Or heard about him.
I don’t know exactly.
So, I decided to just ask.
“Are you referring to the Sword Supreme?”
[Hmm…?]
When I mentioned the Sword Supreme, the person’s eyes flickered.
Seeing that, my brows furrowed slightly.
Those eyes are irritating.
