They are the women standing behind me.

Otherwise, no matter who takes him away, once the matter gets out, it will be another blow to the reputation of the Sword Sect, so they can only leave him alone.

"What a villain! He becomes arrogant once he succeeds. This Yin Yang Five Elements Sect is truly a classic case of a crooked leader leading to crooked subordinates. Qin Xingyuan is so arrogant and conceited. The sect must be responsible, especially a powerful figure like Nangong Xin!"

Zhan Jingzhong, the leader of the Sword Sect, had no expression on his face, but he was extremely furious. He was almost fuming, but he couldn't vent his anger.

At this time, Gui Yi Ling also stood up, and in front of everyone, his words were as sharp as a sword, pointing directly at Zhan Jingzhong, "Some time ago, Zhan Jingzhong, the head of the Sword Sect, came to me and talked about many things with me."

As everyone looked in the direction of the sound, Guiyi Ling's voice was like thunder, shaking the ten directions. "Sword Sect Leader Zhan Jingzhong declared that our sect's Qin Xingyuan would be defeated, and Chen Changyun would win! I wonder if Sect Leader Zhan has seen the outcome yet?"

Guiyi Ling really wanted to laugh out loud now.

It feels so good! It feels so good!

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Such a blatant slap in the face?

Even a prominent figure like Zhan Jingzhong, who was at the early stage of the Hedao Realm, had a rather grim expression on his face. How could Guiyi Ling actually embarrass him in public like this?!

Zhan Jingxin's emotions were so uncontrollable that they were reflected on his face.

Even his body was shaking a little.

He had come all the way to today and really didn't know how long it had been since he had been so angry. The blood rushed to his head and he seemed to be losing his mind.

But he can be the head of the sect. Putting aside his strength, can he be a stupid person?

His thoughts raced, and he suddenly appeared, standing not far in front of Guiyi Ling, and admitted, "Since I dare to say it, I dare to admit it! But..."

He suddenly changed the subject and shouted fiercely in front of everyone, "Qin Xingyuan of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect disrespects our ancestor. Almost everyone has a powerful force behind them, right? I can tolerate his disrespect for me, but how can anyone tolerate his disrespect for our ancestor? Today, I will tell everyone how arrogant and conceited Qin Xingyuan is. He even openly said that if we were to compete with our ancestor for a great era, he would no longer be invincible!"

These remarks were like a huge rock falling into the water, instantly stirring up thousands of waves.

Everyone was so shocked that their faces turned pale. They never expected that Qin Xingyuan would not even take Xu Chengdao, a supreme being who was invincible in a great era, seriously. Did he think that he would be able to surpass him in the future?

but……

Someone like Qin Xingyuan would think so. Thinking about it carefully, it seems...

It really doesn't seem strange at all?

It would be strange if he didn't think so.

However, once this matter gets out, any forces that have had some connection with Xu Chengdao will probably have a completely different attitude towards Qin Xingyuan.

Xu Chengdao did choose to establish his sect in the extreme southern region, but before he did so, he traveled all over the Changsheng Realm, leaving his footprints in twenty major regions. There must be a force or someone who had received his favor, etc.

"Our sect is not making a fuss over a small figure in the early Jindan stage. For powerful people, the meaning of the three words ancestor is self-evident."

Zhan Jingzhong asked again with confidence, "Why did our sect send Shang Shishen? We wanted to teach him a lesson. We didn't expect him to be so strong, and I'm sure no one present expected that either. But what did Qin Xingyuan do? He knew full well that he had already committed a grave sin, yet he arrogantly used the sword formation to force Shang Shishen to kneel in public. This open humiliation of our Sword Sect disciples is truly too much!"

Guo Yangzhou narrowed his eyes, finding it somewhat amusing, and said, "You're really good at changing the subject. You've even turned it into a righteous charge."

"My sect wants an explanation for this matter!"

Zhan Jingzhong righteously shouted fiercely, "If the disciples of the forces behind you were publicly humiliated like this, would the sect really not even say a word?!"

When Gui Yi Ling's face turned grim, Nangong Xin, the Supreme, immediately said, "Didn't your sect's Shang Shishen bring the Heavenly Sword here before? Your sect's founder's flying sword has existed for millions of years, so its spirituality is beyond words. And your sect's Xu Xingwei, as a descendant of his bloodline, can communicate with the sect's sword. Why not go and ask for the Heavenly Sword..."

He paused at this point, "Let Xu Xingwei communicate with him in public and ask him how our sect's Qin Xingyuan compares to your sect's founder who was in the early Jindan realm. The Heavenly Immortal Sword can always be compared, right? Let everyone present hear it and satisfy everyone's curiosity. We can wait. After all, the Tribulation Realm can travel hundreds of thousands of miles in a single breath. Since Sword Sect's Chen Taishang is here, the return trip is very fast. It's even unlikely that your sect's Zhenzong Sword will talk nonsense and instead support our sect's Qin Xingyuan, right?"

"Master, this..."

Xu Yuanqing looked at Guo Yangzhou in disbelief, feeling that something was wrong. "If we summon the Heavenly Suppression Immortal Sword..."

"Yuan Qing, you are still too young. Nangong Taishang is a man who destroys the heart before killing. Who would dare to say that you, Yuan Qing, will never be able to defeat Qin Xingyuan in the future? The future is full of possibilities and there is no certainty. Therefore, Zhentian Xianjian would never dare to say that Qin Xingyuan will be inferior to Xu Chengdao in the future. It completely pessimizes Qin Xingyuan's future."

Guo Yangzhou put his hands behind his back and said, "Even the Sword Sect's guardian sword has existed for millions of years and has followed the invincible great man to conquer the Immortal Realm. It would definitely not disdain to lie. To put it another way, no matter what is said, that is the Sword Sect's guardian sword. Who here would think that they are not helping the Sword Sect? So, to say something unpleasant is to help the Sword Sect, and to say something nice, no matter what, is to make a fair and just evaluation. Even if the Heavenly Immortal Sword is only unprecedented in history, that is enough."

"Well……"

"Besides, I don't know how many times I've seen the Heavenly Immortal Sword before. No, I don't know how many geniuses and strong men it has killed. It can only judge people more accurately and ruthlessly than my master."

Guo Yangzhou said slowly, "I'm afraid we're only seeing it now. It's possible that Shang Shishen completely understood it when he used it to fight Qin Xingyuan. In fact, things that have existed for millions of years are beyond the comprehension of this master today, just like how a Jindan realm cultivator can never understand the Dujie realm. This is the natural chasm caused by the age gap. Moreover, if the Sword Sect doesn't invite him, it will be even more interesting once the news spreads. This is because the Sword Sect doesn't dare to let the Sect Sword make the evaluation. Who wouldn't wonder why they don't dare? No matter what excuse the Sword Sect finds for not inviting him, it simply means they don't dare to invite him."

"Master, Xu Xingwei can lie!"

Xu Yuanqing couldn't help but say, "For example, why not..."

"Yuan Qing, there are so many people here, not to mention important figures. If we can't even tell if Xu Xingwei, a Yuanying realm cultivator, is lying, then we are so blind that we are living a life of depravity."

Guo Yangzhou said calmly, "Besides, I will definitely make her swear a great oath. If she really would rather break her oath and lie in public than go on, then let her do it. Anyway, this will only fool the cultivators of lower realms. We will definitely be able to see clearly whether she is lying or not."

"Go and get the Heavenly Sword!"

Gui Yi Ling shouted, "Don't tell me that the Sword Sect doesn't dare to invite you?!"

Many disciples of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect, including many who came from other factions, were just there to watch the fun, not minding the trouble. They all started to cheer and shouted loudly, "Go get the Heavenly Sword!"

Faced with such a deafening sound, the hearts of the high-ranking officials of the Sword Sect, such as Chen Taishang and Zhan Jingzhong, were filled with huge waves. They regretted extremely that they had allowed Shang Shishen to bring the Zhentian Immortal Sword to fight Qin Xingyuan.

Chapter 37: If there is a next time, please bring more geniuses with you.

Now Chen Taishang, Zhan Jingzhong and other middle and high-level leaders of the Sword Sect are really feeling caught in a dilemma.

As long as the Zhentian Immortal Sword is not invited, no matter what is said, it will be an excuse. Once this matter spreads, the outside world will definitely think that the Sword Sect does not dare to invite it.

How could this have no impact on the entire sect?

But please come...

Just think about it, Shang Shishen brought the Heavenly Sword to fight Qin Xingyuan, but it refused to return to its position after returning, and communicated with Xu Xingwei that it wanted to leave the sect...

There is no need to say more about where this is going.

If he really left with Qin Xingyuan on the spot, the Sword Sect would never be able to recover in the future, and this shameful thing would become a strange story and be widely circulated.

So it’s impossible to really invite him!

This is a complete loss, there is no way to turn the tables.

Now we really can only think of ways to make losing not so ugly.

Of course, no matter what the attitude of the Zhentian Immortal Sword is, Qin Xingyuan forced the disciples of the Sword Sect to kneel down in public with the power of the sword formation, and shouted arrogantly, "What can the Sword Sect do?" This means that he did not give the Sword Sect any way out.

This matter is not over yet!

"Our sect will ask for the Heavenly Sword later, but before that, the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect must give us an explanation!"

Zhan Jingzhong forced a shout to change the subject, "One thing is one thing, but Qin Xingyuan publicly humiliated our disciple Shang Shishen and shouted at our elders, saying things like, 'Your Sword Sect can do anything.' Our sect must demand an explanation!"

No matter how stupid he is, he will not get entangled with others on something he cannot stand on. It is best for him to hold on to the things he is right about, and keep arguing with them, and draw other people's attention to them.

"Alright! Since Zhan Zhangzong said one thing and that's one thing, this Lord, no, our Yin Yang Five Elements Sect also wants to know. Shang Shishen brought the Heavenly Suppression Immortal Sword to our sect and severely injured our Shen Haoqiong. Was it intentional or an accident? Let Shang Shishen come forward and this Lord will ask him personally. With so many eyes present, whether Shang Shishen did it on purpose or not, anyone with eyes will know for sure!"

Gui Yi Ling was quite arrogant. "Everything has to be done in order. As long as Shang Shishen of the Sword Sect did it on purpose, deliberately humiliating and bullying my disciples, before asking for an explanation from the Sword Sect, shouldn't he first give an explanation to the Yin Yang Five Elements Sect? As long as your Sword Sect gives an explanation, the Yin Yang Five Elements Sect will definitely give it under so many eyes!"

Everyone looked at each other, whispered to each other, and talked a lot.

No matter whether what Qin Xingyuan did was big or small, everything did have to be done in a certain order at certain times - such as in the current situation.

It would be fine if Shang Shishen made an unintentional mistake, and even if Shen Haoqiong was seriously injured during a competition, everyone would understand. But if he really deliberately injured Shen Haoqiong, the nature of the matter would be different.

This was done intentionally to humiliate and bully the disciples of the Yin Yang Five Elements Sect. It wasn't just that Shen Haoqiong's skills were inferior to others.

Generally speaking, what's the difference between this and what Qin Xingyuan did?

They were just deliberately humiliating and bullying each other's disciples.

Since the Sword Sect can seek an explanation for this matter, why can't the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect do the same?

Moreover, Shang Shishen was the first to do so, so it was reasonable for Jian Zong to give it first.

"My Yin Yang Five Elements Sect doesn't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of it either!"

Gui Yi Ling's voice was extremely loud. "If the Sword Sect doesn't dare to let Shang Shishen come forward, then who wouldn't know this? If the Sword Sect is unwilling to give it now, yet they can be so aggressive in public? Why? Is it that only the disciples of the Sword Sect can deliberately humiliate and bully other forces?"

"It was Qin Xingyuan who first showed contempt..."

When Zhan Jingzhong mentioned this, Lu Guangze, the great figure of the Tribulation Realm cultivator, chuckled and said, "I'm not saying anything, but everyone knows what kind of personality Qin Xingyuan has. He doesn't just look down on your sect's founder. I guess he thinks he's the best throughout history, and no one can compare to him. And how can a major force have the same opinion as a small cultivator in the early Jindan Realm?

After asking this, Lu Guangze added meaningfully, "Heh, could it be that the Sword Sect originally intended to target Qin Xingyuan, who came from a powerful faction? Is it to boost the Sword Sect's prestige in the Far South Region, or perhaps to test the attitude of the major forces in the Far South Region towards the Sword Sect, founded by Xu Chengdao, the invincible and great figure of the era? For example, to see if they dare to resist the Sword Sect? Can the Sword Sect still suppress them?"

Zhan Jingzhong looked at Lu Guangze with a gloomy face. Who is this person?

"Or maybe they could make a big deal out of it, and then threaten the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect to expose the fact that Qin Xingyuan disrespected your founder. For example, if they don't want the Sword Sect to be exposed, they could offer them a lot of benefits. Otherwise, why didn't the Sword Sect reveal the reason for their previous targeting? In any case, they definitely look down on the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect..."

Lu Guangze smiled and said, "But are they thinking of making a big deal out of this, attracting more attention, causing heated discussions, and then using this to threaten the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect and force them to make a choice? After all, there are still some forces in the Changsheng Realm that have a connection with Xu Chengdao. If Qin Xingyuan still loses and this matter spreads, it will not only be detrimental to the reputation of Qin Xingyuan and the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect, but also to Qin Xingyuan's future travels and training. Anyway, I think, since they are making a fuss out of nothing, there must be a conspiracy behind it, right? Perhaps even a casual cultivator like me cannot understand the people of the sect? After all, maybe the people of the sect can really do this to protect the founder of the sect and so on?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. Sword Sect Master Chen Taishang was a little unhappy, but he didn't show it on his face as he asked, "I wonder who you are?"

"Just a helpless cultivator."

Lu Guangze said with a smile.

Many people's faces changed.

It is very rare to find a casual cultivator who has reached the Tribulation Realm, and they have been walking on a road of life and death all the way. They have grown up through countless disasters and storms and on the brink of life and death. Their strength, combat power, and ability to save their lives and escape are extremely terrifying.

If they were to fight at the same level, Chen Taishang of the Sword Sect might not be able to be Lu Guangze's opponent. The most important thing was that the independent cultivators had no one to rely on and naturally had nothing to worry about, and were not afraid of being replaced.

People who go barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes.

If possible, no one with powerful backing would be willing to offend a high-level cultivator.

Many people guess that this person has some connection with the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect, so why is he coming out to help now?

"Master, this important person is quite nice?"

Xu Yuanqing was a little surprised and said, "You're actually helping the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect?"

"Yuan Qing, he must have an intention, but the mind of a casual cultivator is indeed hard to guess."

Guo Yangzhou said in a deep voice, "But it's definitely not just to help the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect. This is a matter between two factions. Why would a casual cultivator get involved for no reason?"

Nangong Xin also looked at Lu Guangze with some doubts. This was not the way to sell the face of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect. Moreover, he was already at this level. Was it still necessary to do so?

Chen Taishang was standing with his hands behind his back, lost in thought, when someone excitedly shouted, "Chen Changyun is making a move!"

"Looks like he's waking up!"

"He said before that if he couldn't defeat Qin Xingyuan, even if Qin Xingyuan didn't kill him, he would abandon his cultivation and become a mortal!"

"With so many eyes watching, will Chen Changyun actually do what he says?"

"If you can't do what you say, hey..."

Now everyone's attention was focused on Chen Changyun, whose face was pale and who slowly opened his eyes. He stood up as if he was seriously injured.

Chen Taishang was extremely annoyed and helpless.

If Chen Changyun hadn't said that before, as long as he lost, he could be taken away directly...

And after he said that, they couldn't imagine how bad the rumors would be no matter who took him away.

Chen Taishang had originally given up on Chen Changyun in his heart.

Not only was he insane, but he also publicly mocked and despised fellow disciples as trash. He was truly wasting his own cultivation, becoming a mere mortal...

In the long run, it is not a bad thing for the Sword Sect.

At least in this way, the outside world still respects the disciples of the Sword Sect for being trustworthy and doing what they say.

Because he also knew that Chen Changyun would definitely do it.

Just watching him wake up and stand up so slowly, Chen Taishang's heart softened again.

Hundreds of years is really not a long time for a person like him, so he naturally remembers many things very clearly.

On his way back to the sect, he encountered the infant Chen Changyun, who was still in a swaddling cloth. He couldn't bear to see him, so he thought of bringing him back to the sect. If he had the aptitude and talent to cultivate immortality, he would entrust him to the sect for training. However, he didn't expect that he was born with a sword heart, so he raised him himself...

Chen Changyun is very competitive.

When I was little, I kept saying that I would become a great person in the future.

He also smiled and said that when his realm is higher in the future, whether he wants to be an elder or the head of the sect, it is up to him...

Moreover, Chen Changyun at least listened to him and was very filial to him. He was also a peerless genius with a natural sword heart. Otherwise, with his style of doing things, the Sword Sect would have abolished his cultivation and expelled him from the sect long ago.

Did he really have to watch Chen Changyun, who had grown up under his own eyes, destroy his own cultivation?

Humans are not plants or trees, so who can be truly heartless?

In the end, Chen Taishang still couldn't bear to do it, and said to the people beside him, "Go and take him back to the sect."

"Master Chen, if he keeps his word and does what he says, once this matter gets out, perhaps..."
